Zombie Lord Splendor tried to recover from the spear strike, but its flight pattern was broken.
Sheena didn’t hesitate after seeing that its wings were damaged! She couldn’t let it regenerate!
She pushed Skybreaker into a sharp climb, then dashed downward, lining up her next shot. The Predator Sense was active again as she noticed that Splendor was trying to ascend, but its left wing was lagging!
"Too slow," she muttered.
She triggered the burst cannons again, this ti aiming directly at the wing joints.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The rounds tore through the air, and this ti, Splendor couldn’t dodge!
One round struck the base of its right wing, followed by another that pierced the mbrane.
The wing snapped.
Everything happened so swiftly as Splendor shrieked and started spinning out of control.
Sheena locked onto the second wing and fired her last spear.
[ Spear Launcher - Final Round Deployed ]
[ Target Locked... ]
The spear was released with a burst of blue light... Then, it detonated across the creature’s back, and both wings folded unnaturally as Splendor plumted.
Sheena watched it spiral downward, trailing with smoke and black blood... She even saw how its limbs were flailing as it lost altitude.
[ Target Altitude: 120m... 40m... 10m... ]
[ Status: Flight Capability Destroyed. ]
Thud!
She didn’t need to follow it.
Her mission was done.
Below, the AEGIS units were already mobilizing, Juggernaut and Vanguard moved into position, their ground-based weaponry locking onto the target. Bastion chs also raised its shield wall to protect nearby survivors, while the others continued to deal with the Zombies brought by the Zombie Lord.
Sheena exhaled.
She had basically completed her mission to intercept and ground the flying Zombie Lord!
She may not have killed it, but she was satisfied with the result!
She just watched from above as the tactical units below closed in...
This ti, she felt like she was the Ruler of the Sky!
"Target grounded," she reported calmly. "I’m pulling back for cooldown and diagnostics. I’m sure you all got the combat date you needed."
Cloud responded imdiately.
[ Acknowledged. Returning to standby. ]
[ AEGIS Units engaged. Threat containnt in progress. ]
Sheena leaned back in her seat, letting the tension drain from her shoulders.
She had done it.
Skybreaker had flown. The GM Drive had held, and the Zombie Lord was no longer a threat to the shelter without its wings.
She then turned Skybreaker toward the hangar...
***
In the anti, while the AEGIS chs closed in on the grounded Zombie Lord Splendor, the battlefield below was also quite chaotic.
Three more King-class threats had erged from the Red Night’s fog and they had been a problem as soon as the Zombie Lord appeared...
The Acid King Zombie dragged its bloated body across the terrain, leaving behind a trail of green sizzling corrosion. Its body was swollen with toxic fluid, and every step it took lted the ground beneath it.
Then, there was also the Earth King Zombie. Its limbs were covered in sharp stone and hardened bark.
It moved slowly, but each step shook the battlefield. It was definitely not an easy opponent for both lee and ranged soldiers, so those with Skills or Magical Abilities had to deal with them.
Lastly, the Brute King Zombie was the fastest of the three.
It was twelve feet tall, hunched forward, with long arms and a muscular body... It charged through the ranks of defenders, smashing vehicles and tossing soldiers like rag dolls...
It was like fighting against a smaller version of Giant King Zombie.
Nonetheless, after a mont of rampage, they didn’t get far.
A cold wind swept across the battlefield as the ground darkened.
Asad arrived to stop the Zombie Kings!
Clad in his signature black robes... He raised his staff, and the air around him beca colder...
"Enough," he said calmly.
Then, from the shadows behind him, the first summon he had finally erged.
It was the Wraith Queen... This spectral summon had black mist around her as she hovered above the battlefield. Her presence alone caused the lesser zombies to freeze.
Then ca the Abyssal Knights.
There were five of them, clad in brand-new armor and wielding cursed blades.
They were then followed by two Mummy Lords that rose from the ground. They were still wrapped in enchanted linen and wielding ancient staves.
It didn’t end there as two Skeleton Kings followed, each riding skeletal warhorses and commanding legions of Skeleton Soldiers!
Finally, five Dullahan Knights marched forward. They were headless, relentless, and bound by Asad’s will. Each carried a massive halberd, and they were assigned to ensure that no Zombie King would be able to escape their encirclent!
The undead formation spread out so quickly and ford a crescent around the three Zombie Kings.
The Acid King roared and launched a wave of corrosive bile toward the Wraith Queen...
However, it was useless as she vanished mid-air, reappearing behind it. With a single gesture, she unleashed a spectral scream that shattered its concentration!
The Abyssal Knights charged next, their blades cut through the Acid King’s bloated limbs.
One knight was lted instantly, but the others pressed on, severing its arms and driving it to the ground...
The Earth King tried to retaliate, slamming its fists into the ground, but the Skeleton Kings countered with a coordinated strike, their warhorses easily leapt over the shockwaves.
One King impaled the creature’s shoulder, while the other summoned a wall of bone to trap its legs.
Everything was happening so quickly and even Asad could only rely on the instincts of the summons he had.
He just didn’t have the ti to order them one by one on what to do!
"I trust you all! Just kill them all!" Asad shouted...
He then watched as the Brute King roared and seed to have realized that he was the leader and planned to eliminate him!
However, the Dullahan Knights intercepted instead!
Five halberds struck in perfect unison, driving the Brute King back!
Asad then raised his staff again. Although he was only left with about 325 Spirit Points after summoning all these Undead Creatures, he still had the ability to use a few of his Survivor Skills!
