Chapter 1139 The Zombie Turtle

When I was ready to close the chat and ignore him, I saw the remaining forces of the two. Damn these two fools… They lost almost half of their armies already!

What the heck was wrong with them? This wasn't the first nor the second time to destroy an army I gave to him.

[Tell me, who is fighting at the south near the jumper and spearhead location?] as I saw this, I felt greatly enraged, instantly sent this message over to Isac.

[Legend is there, but why?]

[Give the order…] my eyes turned cold, [Legend is going to be the supreme general of the entire southern region. All other generals will report to him and follow his orders]

[This… But you have that masked dude there, right?]

[I know, and he'll also answer to Legend] I already had a good opinion about Legend. He was young, yet ambitious. With him leading here, I could finally heave a sigh of relief and focus on the tasks in my hand.

[Spread the word, all free armies and generals will come to the zone where I once slain a huge turtle monster here. Make them surround the region and form a huge blockade, kill any zombie coming at their direction]

[Is it this bad?]

[More than what you think] I closed the chat after stressing over doing this swiftly and fast.

The slackness of the jumper got on my nerves. That dude thought this was a nice time to bargain with me. Least to his knowledge that the situation was very serious.

Without the arrival of the entire reinforcements here and form their blockade successfully, I couldn't move. So even if that colossal turtle was waiting for me just a few miles away from the shore, I couldn't go there and fight it even if I wanted to.

This battle was destined to be heaven defying. Lots of people would die if they kept standing close from here.

So instead, I turned around and started killing the zombies using my fallen gods.

I didn't bring any warriors down though. According to Isac, Legend was less than one hour away. So I just had to buy him sometime before that capable dude would arrive.

[Did you make a kid superior to me?] Just as I started helping, that jerk seemed to get the news from Isac and got enraged.

[If you got something to say, wait till this is over before saying anything]

[F*ck you! It's better to serve another lord than you! Heck! I bet serving those brainless zombies is much better than you!]

[If you don't want to participate in the golden quest anymore then fine, scram and find some lord who is nice and generous as me]

[Screw you! Each time you do something bad to me you bring this damn matter over! Do you think I'm this miserable and pathetic? I can wait for the fifteen quest and meet my guy!]

[Yes, you tried this countless times over before and what's the result? Did you succeed? Ha?]

I knew he would say something like that one day. So when he did, my pre ready answer came swiftly on his face.

He went into silence, and I knew he wouldn't find any way to say something to extricate himself from this messy situation.

He brought this over himself. Who told him to act like a jerk all this time?

[Did that masked dude speak with you?] Just when I closed the chat with him and focused again on moving the chariot around, Isac sent it again.

[Ignore him, I already shelved him away]

[Nice move, boss!] I swore I imagined Isac laughing at what I did with that jerk.

I closed the chat and returned to focus once again over the surrounding zombies.

Things weren't that hard actually. The number of newly joined zombies was still limited for a reason I didn't know.

But no matter what, it was something good that played to my favour.

The situation was under control until I saw lots of people coming from one direction.

[Lord, I'm here with my army] It was a message from Legend. That kid was young, but he was really trustworthy.

He arrived just in one hour as he promised. Sigh! Why didn't I have many such talented generals by my side? Why were most of my trusted people girls or jerks?

[Take command over this entire region. You know what to do, right?]

[Isac informed me already]

[Cool! Don't let any zombie escape. And don't let your people venture forward until I say so]

[I'll do what you say]

He was indeed a good boy. I just hoped he'd keep growing in the right path and not get polluted by the likes of the jumper and the spearhead.

As I watched Legend take command and retreat with his combined forces with the jumper and the spearhead, I knew it was time for me to head towards that behemoth out there.

But the first thing I did wasn't to move out, instead I bought a mighty weapon to balance the scales; my Libra!

[The being you selected is being judged]

[He is an enemy!]

[All of his stats will be permanently halved]

…

I got a long list of messages afterwards as the Libra worked fast this time. After it got activated, I saw that colossal turtle's body shone in black light, then its body started releasing dense black fog.

It looked like fire got in touch with a block of ice, releasing thick clouds from such contact.

I knew things weren't going to be good just by using this treasure of mine. But at least this behemoth was going to be cursed and wouldn't fight properly like it should be.

Then I started moving towards it.

I knew it was going to be a tough battle. My advantage might be in my prior knowledge of all of its abilities.

Just when I drew closer, that behemoth roared and next the dim sky was lit up by the falling scorching red fiery rocks that started falling from the sky.

Next the zombie roared again and I saw the ocean in front of this behemoth cleaved open, and lots of red dots started coming out fast, growing up in size like their growth was accelerated or something.

Another roar came and gigantic waves after another started to roll out towards my direction from behind that turtle.

Damn! I really hate fighting these turtles!

"Thundering Might!"

But even if I was impressed by seeing this might again, I wasn't slow in activating my best defensive skill.

The pillar shook the world and formed the grand shield. Then it fell in my hand while I watched a scene befitting the apocalypse.

The grand shield grew fast, sweeping across the ocean and part of the continent behind in mere breaths. At the same time, the falling fiery rocks, the gigantic tsunami waves, and the burning lava rocks came all at once to clash with my shield.

The clash created what one could best describe as the end of the world. Flashes of red, silver, brown, orange, and black lights glared at the edge of my shield, with explosive sounds that were ear deafening.

And these explosions came in succession, one after another, without any sign of being slowed down.

"Thundering Might!" The moment I got my pillar again, I reactivated the skill once more.

I had a doubt that the strength of this turtle zombie wasn't equal to the real strength of the turtle I fought once before.

That was thanks to the difference in quest levels where the two appeared. It might be zombies resurrected from dead monsters and fighters, but they showed strength befitting the fifth quest and not the real powers of those who died before.

And when I clashed against this turtle, and in the few seconds before I activated the Thundering Might skill again, I could see faint cracks appearing on the surface of my shield everywhere.

This never happened in the past fight against that turtle. And when considering that this turtle zombie got its powers halved, one could surely imagine how insanely powerful this zombie really was.

I clenched my fists while watching this epic fight. The zombie kept roaring non-stop, driving more deadly attacks towards my shields.

At first, with each few shields summoned, one would break apart like a burst egg. But after standing my ground for ten minutes, I finally was relieved to see my shields withstand the pressure at last.

*Rumble!* *Rumble!* *Rumble!*

Just when I heaved a sigh of relief, I saw many red beams falling down from the high sky, smashing all over my shield, bringing more damage to it.

And with the first wave of attacks, two outer shields didn't hold the pressure and got shattered at the spot.

"Angels! Screw you all!" I gritted my teeth knowing that the angels depended on my lack of fallen gods at the moment to come at me.

I couldn't call back my fallen gods for now. And I couldn't stand idle and watch these deadly star weapons keep messing with my fights.

Fine! You wanted to play with fire, then you had to expect getting your hand burnt!
