Chapter 50 - The Final Wave Was on Its Way

“Eh? What’s wrong?”

The Pea Shooters were living creatures, not simple plants. They might not have intricate emotions, but they were quite sincere.

Enoch had long been aware of this, but he never expected things would turn out like this.

Now, the Pea Shooters resembled humans who had been provoked, erupting with even more astonishing battle prowess.

Their attacks had become even more dangerous!

The pea bullets with a red luster easily pierced through the Flame Launchers’ flame wall and then hit the Flame Launchers’ bloated bodies.

Although the pea bullets didn’t kill the Flame Launchers—some didn’t even penetrate their bodies—most of the pea bullets that hit their mark would cause a splash of blood. 

Soon, rotten flesh and stinky blood splattered all over the ground.

“Flame Launchers can spit out high-temperature flames, and their defense is extremely high. Weapons like guns should not be able to kill them quickly. At the very least, they need high-explosive weapons like bombs.”

Although Enoch was a little curious about the Pea Shooters’ current state, he didn’t forget to gather information about the Flame Launcher.

Be it the Flame Launchers or the Runners, they were all enemies that he would inevitably encounter when he occupied Maka Town. Therefore, the more accurate the information he gathered about these guys, the better.

As such, Enoch was still very diligent in gathering information about the Flame Launchers, even more so than focusing his attention on the Pea Shooters’ current situation.

After all, the Pea Shooters were merely defensive plants. Although they were important to Enoch, they were not indispensable. Moreover, the Pea Shooters were always by his side, so he did not need to study them too much.

The Fire Launcher was different, however. They were zombies, so he had fewer chances to come into contact with them.

In addition, Enoch needed to take them seriously.

With this opportunity, he could learn more about these zombies and gain the upper hand in the later battles in Maka Town.

In order to achieve this goal, Enoch’s most important objective was to gather information about these zombies. Still, this didn’t mean that Enoch didn’t care about these Pea Shooters at all. In fact, Enoch was still paying attention to the Pea Shooters. It was just that he wasn’t as careful as he was with the Flame Launchers.

Enoch noticed some small problems during his observation. For example, the frequency of these Pea Shooters’ attacks and their power seemed to be increasing, but at the same time, the Pea Shooters’ condition seemed to worsen.

They were like people who used stimulants. Although they looked fierce, they would not be in a good state and might even be in low spirits once the effects wore off.

The Pea Shooters were in a similar state now, and it was even more obvious than those who used stimulants.

Nevertheless, the Pea Shooters were still under the effects of the ‘drug’, so each Pea Shooter their battle prowess was off the charts.

The pea bullets that came out of their mouths were continuously hitting the Flame Launchers, leaving bloody holes on their already tattered bodies.

Dirty rotten meat and disgusting blood kept flowing out of the wounds and dripped onto the ground.

This made Enoch’s evaluation of the Pea Shooters even higher. The Pea Shooters’ potential should be above that of a special zombie since they were able to pull off such a feat.

They could face a Flame Launcher or two Runners alone.

This kind of combat strength was already more exceptional than some ordinary Divine Tree Masters.

Moreover, Enoch still had 100 Berserk Rats. In terms of combat strength, he should be the strongest among all the Divine Tree Masters.

This made Enoch quite satisfied.

Ever since the emergence of the Salvation Alliance, Enoch had been feeling a sense of urgency.

After the Netherworld invasion ended, the Divine Tree Realm would enter a new era!

This was something that Enoch had already confirmed. However, the Salvation Alliance’s appearance made Enoch firmly believe this.

Although the Salvation Alliance’s existence did not affect Enoch, he believed that this was only temporary. He, or any other Divine Tree Master, would inevitably come into contact with the Salvation Alliance in the end. This was inevitable.

Thus, Enoch paid great attention to improving his combat strength. He did not want to be at a disadvantage in the battle against the Salvation Alliance.

The two sides may not have met yet, but Enoch was certain that he would not get along with such a scheming organization, ergo he needed to make all preparations in advance.

The Pea Shooters’ excellent performance also helped Enoch lay the foundation for his large-scale purchase of Pea Shooters.

Of course, all of this would have to wait until the Netherworld invasion was over.

As for now…

His mission was to deal with these Flame Launchers!

The furious Pea Shooters seemed to have switched from flintlocks to rifles.

The extremely short intervals and powerful pea bullets continuously landed on the Flame Launchers’ bodies.

One, two, three…

At first, the Flame Launchers could still hold on, but as time went on, the ferocity of these attacks increased.

Soon, the Flame Launchers could no longer persist. They were like ragdolls that had been abused—their bodies were tattered, and with every step they took, a large amount of flesh and blood would fall off their bodies.

Even before this, they had received the black fog’s strengthening and had strong bodies.

Unexpectedly, they were too weak before the angry Pea Shooters barrage of attacks.

The tenacious rain of pea bullets was like a downpour, and the first Flame Launcher finally collapsed on the ground.

The Pea Shooters’ relentless attacks had turned its front side turned into meat paste and had destroyed its left arm. Only its bone-like left hand remained, spinning a few times in the air before landing on the ground.

This was just the beginning. After this Flame Launcher fell, the other Flame Launchers couldn’t hold on any longer and collapsed on the ground one after another.

Each Flame Launcher had to withstand at least 10 pea bullets, which caused their bodies to collapse completely. They couldn’t even support them to move easily, so in the end, they all fell down.

In contrast, the 30 Pea Shooters were all lying on the ground as if they were malnourished, falling into a state of weakness.

It was obvious that they couldn’t continue fighting in the following battle.

But to Enoch, their performance was stellar, greatly exceeding his expectations!

[The second wave has ended. The final wave will arrive in 15 minutes.. Please get ready!]
