Chapter 1009 The Final Stretch (Part 7): Failure Once Again



...…

Swoosh! Whoosh!

Boom! Boom!

Bang! Bang!

A series of explosions could be heard at a certain part of the Frozen City where a chaotic battle was currently underway. On that battlefield were two forces clashing against each other while the main actors of each side were showcasing their strengths and talents, especially the side with a smaller number.

At the same time, there was a pair of massive creatures wrestling against each other in the distance, trampling the frozen houses and buildings around them. At times, they would also be casting powerful spells toward their opposition, further destroying their surroundings in the aftermath.

A stray attack even landed on the battlefield where the two armies were fighting and caused a huge explosion that almost wipe out everyone. Fortunately, both sides immediately noticed it coming from afar and made their preparations before it could even cripple their forces.

With such a powerful explosion, Alucard even took that opportunity to break free from the undead soldiers chasing after him and found a good vantage point where he could have a better view of the battlefield. It was also a perfect place where he could provide support to everyone since its distance was somewhat suitable for his sniper ripple.

Having that good position, he started making preparations to help Leonard, who was currently engaging in an intense fight against the True Ghoul.

Alucard had already considered this earlier. With his unique class as a \'Demon Hunter\', he could deal extra damage against dark creatures, especially undead monsters. And out of the options that he could choose from, the True Ghoul was the easiest to target out of them all.

Taking his position and getting ready to provide help to Leonard, Alucard took a deep breath and focus his mind.

Boom!

At the same time, on the other side of the battlefield, Arthur, who was riding his golden dragon, was currently chasing after Immortal persistently. After seizing this advantage, there was no way for him to let it go once again.

He had been holding back up until now. After suppressing himself since the first battle, he was itching to teach Immortal a lesson. This guy and the Corrupted Cult had been messing up with everyone anywhere, which was why he loved to consistently get in their way and repeatedly foil their plans. And since Immortal was one of the main actors of that faction, taking him down would always hurt the organization every time he failed.

Arthur was looking forward to what would happen to this certain \'villain\' that everyone hated and feared after failing this operation as well.

Though, he was also aware that Immortal still gained quite a few things here despite the losses that he suffered.

In the meantime, Immortal was currently wearing a dark look on his face as he continued to dodge Arthur\'s advances by constantly using Blinks and other teleportation skills from his arsenals. And that expression became even darker when he noticed that his weak connection with Eira, the Ice Dragon, was slowly becoming weaker and weaker and was about to be cut off.

Everything was just getting well up until now. His control over the white dragon was also getting stronger as he was even able to make it fly in the air and use some of its powerful spells. But within an instant, a tide that he was riding just earlier suddenly turned around and went against him.

At this moment, he was clearly at a disadvantage. His Undying Army might still be holding with a slight advantage due to his second combat class and the Elemental Spirit Possessions of his Abomination Spirits, but it would quickly disappear once Eira woke from her current state.

Understanding his current situation, Immortal could only think of retreating now and abandoning his current plan. After all, he already achieved his original goal and that was getting a vessel for his Doom Knight to obtain his secondary combat class.

He already saw how strong it was the combination of his two classes, the \'Herald of Death\' and \'Emissary of the Underworld\'. As long as he made himself familiar with his secondary combat class and increase his mastery over the skills and spells under its kit, then he would be more powerful than he already was.

The problem was he was unwilling to go back right now because it would leave a sour taste in his mouth. The success was almost upon his reach yet it was suddenly snatched away from the tip of his fingers by the same people once again.

He at least wanted to kill one or two members from their side. Unfortunately, he was currently not in the position to do it. Not in Arthur\'s watch.

Gritting his teeth, he had no choice but to take the decision that he did not want to make. He looked at Arthur with a sharp glare before saying. "This is not the end, Siegfried. I will make sure that you and your team will suffer. I will crush you underneath my feet."

Hearing those words, Arthur could not help but smirk before saying. "Yeah! Yeah! That is what you always say whenever you are planning to run away with your tail between your legs, yet the result is always the same."

"Though, I must admit that you get those guys from Silent Night really well. Your backstabbing skills are sure top-notch," he added with a mocking tone.

After that, he paused for a moment as he remembered something before quickly continuing. "Ah! Before you leave, we are going to cut down some of your limbs so that you will stay low and quiet for the time being."

Boom!

Right after those words left Arthur\'s mouth, Immortal suddenly heard a huge explosion coming from the battlefield, attracting his attention for a moment. And a few moments after that, a series of notifications suddenly came in his system logs, informing him of what happened.

He did not have to look at those notifications to know what happened as he could already see what took place on the battlefield.

From his current position, he saw a streak of light coming from a certain direction away from the battlefield and flew straight to the True Ghoul, who was busy fighting Leonard. It was a holy bullet shot by Alucard after pouring everything in it.

The bullet accurately shot the head of the True Ghoul but it did not deal much damage. Though, the impact from the collision made the undead lose its footing and its rhythm immediately after. There were also the sacred properties that the holy bullet had that suppressed the powers of the True Ghoul for a moment.

It might be a little short but it was more than enough for Leonard to launch an all-out attack without worrying about any kind of retaliation from the opposing party. He threw a flurry of powerful punches at the True Ghoul that exhausted almost all of its health bar before unleashing a killer move at the end, not willing to let the True Ghoul even the tiniest bit of seconds recover.

The power of the final punch was so strong that it blasted the body of the True Ghoul into smithereens. It might not be enough to totally kill the True Ghoul due to its innate ability that almost made it unkillable, but it was more than enough to cripple its battle capabilities at the current moment.

After that, Leonard quickly turned around and wreaked havoc where the Shadow Paladin and Undead Knight were. He then beat them so hard that they also lost their ability to continue the battle.

Leonard did not choose to help either of the three others, who were also fighting a powerful unique undead by themselves. Even though he knew that they would be able to eliminate those undead monsters, it would still take them a few moments before they were able to do it. And it would give Immortal more time to unsummon them before retreating.

Instead, if he directly targeted the slightly weaker unique undead that did not have enough battle capacities to contend against him. The Shadow Paladin and the Undead Knight were the best choices in that situation.

Even though he could not kill them in the end due to the Abomination Elemental Spirits that possessed them, Leonard was still able to damage the vessels of the two special undead monsters.

As for not choosing the Lich King, Leonard also had a valid reason for that. It was because, at the last moment when he was about to charge at the Lich King, he sensed someone rapidly approaching that undead at extreme speed. He did not need to make a guess on who it was since there was only a single person in their current team who could achieve that speed.

Faker, who was originally chasing after Rust earlier, finally gave up on chasing after her the moment when he saw the Chaos Dragon appear in the sky. He fully understood that the tide of the game instantly turned in their favor at that moment, so he decisively abandon chasing after Rust and went back to the battlefield instead and provide help to the others.

But it also did not mean that he would let Rust run around freely. He used one of his trump cards under his sleeves. He summoned an Abysmal Clone which was completely identical to him. It had the same stats and skills as him on top of having a very high A.I. that could fight in the same manner and style as him.

He could only keep it for five minutes at most since it consumed a lot of mana for it to be summoned. And needed to have additional mana consumption to keep it on the field. With his current Mana Pool, Faker could only keep this clone for short time.

But with the current situation, that time was more than enough. He only needed his clone to stick to Rust and buy him some time until he reached the Lich King.

It did not take long for Faker to reach the Lich King and forced it to engage in a battle with him. And since he had the class advantage, Faker was able to take down the Lich King after persistently pursuing it.

It was all according to what Shin had told them earlier before the start of this battle. They needed to deal a series of blows to Immortal before he could run away. Blows that would hurt him very much.

Immortal might be able to re-summon those special undeads later, but it would cost him a lot to bring them up to what they were right now. After what those guys had done, the vessels of those unique undead monsters were badly damaged and needed a lot of effort and resources to restore them.

Seeing that the situation could no longer be saved, Immortal turned to Arthur, who paused his attacks for a moment before saying. "We will meet again in the Hegemon Cup, Siegfried."

After that, he took out an instantaneous teleportation scroll before crushing it immediately. And before his body fully dissipated into specks of light, he quickly added. "Let\'s see who will be taking the crown this time."

When those words left his mouth, his body already disappeared from Arthur\'s sight. And alongside his departure, the entire Undying Army quickly followed. All of them turned into black ashes that were easily swept by the wind, scattering them in the air.

Arthur stared at the spot where Immortal last stood before sneering. "You are talking as if you are the champion of the last Hegemon Cup."

He then suddenly tightened his grip over his spear as the figure of the person who snatched the crown from everyone at that time suddenly flashed in his mind. He then turned to Shin before muttering. "This year\'s collision between gods will surely be the most interesting out of all the wars that we have experienced up until now."
