Apocalypse Gachapon Chapter 2075.5- Attack show (3)
Previously on Apocalypse Gachapon...
Unfortunately, attempting to flee outward only caused the flames binding them to grow dim and weak. If they had managed to pull apart further, this ability might have been broken.
However, the two green-skinned monstrosities found their movements becoming increasingly sluggish, making progress exceptionally arduous. Despite the clear sight of survival just a few steps away, they ultimately could not reach it.
Their attempts at defiant roars turned into agonizing collapses, their very forms disintegrating into charcoal and falling to the ground, turning to dust. In the end, they too became scorched corpses, littering the path they had desperately tried to escape.
Zhao Xiangxue reverted to her original appearance, her complexion visibly drained. The repeated transformations had pushed her body to its absolute brink; even as a nine-star evolved being, defying natural limits proved impossible.
A Flame Spirit Envoy was impervious to physical assaults...
Alighting beside Xia Lei, the deputy captain of the Chameleon unit surveyed the chaotic battlefield.
At this precise moment, Yellow Ball and the two remaining green-skinned monsters had fallen in the distance, locked in a desperate struggle. Talking Lady and the sleek black cat were steadily overpowering one of the green-skinned monsters.
Out of the initial ten green-skinned monsters that had descended, only these three persisted; the other seven had been decisively eliminated.
The twin sisters, by themselves, were responsible for the demise of four, and Zhao Xiangxue accounted for three.
Even as she personally brought about the end of these formidable beings, the deputy captain of the Chameleon unit still found the reality of the situation hard to grasp.Cloud Peak's command center had been subjected to a surprise attack. At that critical juncture, the highest-tier life forms present comprised only Yellow Ball, Zhao Xiangxue, Talking Lady, the black cat, and a combat-incapacitated Yangos.
In terms of sheer numbers, their opponents initially held the advantage, possessing twice their count of green-skinned monsters.
Yet, as the battle unfolded thus far, not a single member of their contingent had fallen, while they had eliminated seven monstrous adversaries. Such an outcome, if publicized, would undoubtedly shock many to their core.
To disregard the numerical disparity—ten against five, or even six against five—when both sides consist of apex life forms, the numerically superior side should wield an overwhelming advantage.
Logically, with equal numbers, the general expectation would be roughly even casualties. However, a mere single numerical difference could escalate into the complete annihilation of one side while the other sustains zero losses.
But this seemingly infallible conclusion simply did not hold true when it came to the forces of Cloud Peak.
Zhao Xiangxue couldn't help but cast her gaze towards Xia Lei and the twin sisters fighting alongside her. She pondered how immensely powerful they would become if they, too, were to achieve nine-star evolved status.
Suddenly, Zhao Xiangxue, who had previously believed herself nearly invincible on Earth, entered a phase of self-reflection, solidifying an unwavering resolve to pursue continuous learning throughout her life.
Mere minutes later, the prolonged engagement between Talking Lady, the black cat, and their monstrous opponent concluded. Although both combatants bore severe injuries, victory ultimately belonged to them.
Thus, from the original ten elite green-skinned monsters, merely the final two remained.
Yellow Ball was currently engaged in a ferocious confrontation with these last two adversaries.
It was evident that Big Yellow was sustaining significant damage. After all, it had previously contended with other green-skinned monsters, and now faced two opponents in their complete state.
However, with the current depleted state of their allies, who else could possibly join the fray? Xia Lei had exhausted all her available skills; would she be compelled to engage in direct melee combat now?
One must not presume that prior successes grant them carte blanche. Even facing a severely wounded green-skinned monster, the Black-Hearted Queen could be annihilated within thirty seconds.
A similar precarious situation applied to Talking Lady, the black cat, and Zhao Xiangxue.
The only individuals still capable of immediate combat were the twin sisters, Yatian and Yani.
However, it must not be overlooked that the green-skinned monsters' threat extended beyond these ten elite specimens; a million other creatures of varying power levels were also in play. These lesser monsters had already perceived the unfolding events. From the moment the first high-tier green-skinned monster fell, countless others had been converging on this very location.
If the combat prowess of Xia Lei's group hadn't been so exceptionally formidable, allowing them to persist desperately despite mounting casualties, those swarming monsters would have already overrun them, overwhelming them through sheer numbers.
Observing the trajectory of the enemy advance, the twin sisters had already moved to provide reinforcement. Yatian, in particular, had activated the ultimate manifestation of her Doll abilities, summoning a formidable female knight who moved with astonishing speed through the enemy ranks.
This strategic intervention barely managed to secure their flank, preventing Xia Lei from being Directly assaulted.
But when it came to Yellow Ball's desperate situation, there was truly no assistance that could be rendered.
A considerable amount of time had elapsed since the initial ambush by these green-skinned monstrosities. Had the reinforcements from the Cloud Peak forces outside not yet arrived to render aid?
Xia Lei took in the dome-like barrier surrounding them, noting with concern that it remained intact. The intelligent, powerful green-skinned monster king was still actively preserving this space.
For the first time, the Black-Hearted Queen exhibited palpable anxiety. She, alongside Zhao Xiangxue and the others, ingested medicinal pills, aiming to rapidly restore their fighting capabilities while simultaneously devising strategies. The precariousness of their situation was undeniable should Cloud Peak's reinforcements fail to arrive promptly; even after eliminating numerous formidable adversaries, their survival remained uncertain.
A sudden shriek of alarm pierced the air. Xia Lei's attention snapped towards the human defense line nearby. Despite the twin sisters' intervention, the line faltered. A section gave way, and a tidal wave of green-skinned monsters surged through the opening.
Once a breach formed, sealing it became an arduous task, often leading to its continuous expansion.
A wave of agony washed over Xia Lei as she witnessed her team members fall one by one to the relentless green-skinned monsters. The emergence of the breach threw soldiers into disarray as they attempted to mend the gap, inadvertently increasing casualties while trying to shield her.
Furthermore, the command staff from the operations department had also advanced, desperately attempting to impede the enemy's progress. However, due to their limited combat experience, lower evolution levels, and inferior equipment, they were essentially sacrificing their lives to buy Xia Lei precious time.
The Talking Lady and the black cat positioned themselves before Xia Lei. The Talking Lady, visibly weakened, raised her hands.
