Chapter 164: The Crash
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Pom—!”
A black Giant wielded a huge Hamr and crushed the Eternal Fire troop formation into disarray like a wolf deep into a herd of sheep. He used his brute force to destroy everything in his path.
TakeASpearHit looked at the black Giant swinging his Hamr and turned to say to his companions, “I think our chance to beco famous has co. Arthur used a trap to kill a Large Lizard and beca famous. If I can kill a Giant on the battlefield, I will be prominent!”
“You are out of your mind. How do you kill the Giant? By using the GM account?”
SealHeadLingChong was knocked to the ground by a red-skinned monster after he finished speaking. Dragonborn pulled him up quickly.
“What do you know?” TakeASpearHit shouted excitedly,
“Did you see the single eye of the Giant? A monster like him has a weakness in the eye. I can’t rember in which fable, but Kratos killed a single-eyed Giant using this thod! My plan is simple!”
TakeASpearHit pointed at the distant Giant and shouted, “When the Giant smashes down his Hamr, I’ll use my acute senses to predict the Hamr’s location. Then I’ll climb up to his head via the Hamr and give the single eye a fatal stab! Then I’ll beco the battlefield hero.”
Dragonborn and SealHeadLingChong were puzzled after TakeASpearHit finished shouting.
“Are you daydreaming?” SealHeadLingChong asked.
“D*mn, you have no aspirations. I’ll do it alone!”
TakeASpearHit yelled himself hoarse as he charged at the Giant.
The gars’ formation was close to the formation of the NPCs in order to maintain a consistent front line. There was only a small gap between the two formations.
Crossing this gap beca the first obstacle to TakeASpearHit completing his plan.
Before they thought of how to solve the problem, tens of Magic Cannon shells flew in an arc above their heads and landed.
“Boom—!”
It was another series of carpet bombings that killed all the monsters in the gap.
“Take action now!” TakeASpearHit yelled and bashed through the red-skinned monsters and gars in front of him. He brought along the gaping Dragonborn and SealHeadLingChong as they charged forward.
The Eternal Fire deputy commander, Fishballs, fired a long-barreled gun continuously at the Black Giant. If the Airship at the forefront hadn’t fired its cannons and decimated the enemy at their rear, the army of Eternal Fire, whose formation was in disarray, would be suffering massive casualties.
“Brace yourselves! Don’t let that Ancient Giant move forward!”
Fishballs felt three figures dart past him just as he finished yelling. He noticed the green words above their heads. They were Gno warriors from Eternal Kingdom!
“Give way. That Giant’s mine!”
TakeASpearHit held his Short Sword with determination and charged towards the Giant.
Fishballs was stunned. Before he could stop them, the three Gnos had dashed forward.
“Wait! What are you doing?” Fishballs yelled after the back views of the three Gnos.
TakeASpearHit turned his head and struggled to give an evil smile, but the Gno’s anatomy didn’t allow him to do that. He said calmly, “We’re killing the Giant, you imbecile NPC.”
Fishballs was dumbstruck as he witnessed the Gno dash at the Giant.
TakeASpearHit grasped his Short Sword tightly and dashed towards the raised Hamr.
Now!
TakeASpearHit braced against the falling Hamr and was crushed flat.
“Shucks! This silly dude!” SealHeadLingChong cursed and saw a Gno run up the Hamr.
Dragonborn held onto the edge of the Hamr and was lifted up together with the Hamr.
That sudden acceleration almost made Dragonborn lose his grip.
The Black Giant with a single eye felt sothing on his Hamr. He lifted his head to take a look.
Dragonborn took the chance and released his grip. He fell straight towards the eye of the Giant.
The blade of his Short Sword impaled deeply into the Giant’s eye.
“Ao—!”
The horrific screams of the Giant shook the entire battlefield. The Giant backed up two steps and fell backwards to the ground.
Dust flew up and obscured visibility as Dragonborn stood in a daze upon the Giant’s face.
“Waaaagh—!”
The Orcs of Eternal Fire broke into wild cheering. They looked in awe at Dragonborn.
It wasn’t the ti to celebrate as more and more red-skinned monsters flooded towards them.
On the distant Airship, the Gno commander shouted to the Gno Magicians on the deck, “Quick! Infuse Mana! Prepare for the next volley of the Magic Cannons!”
“Captain! The Magic Cannons have exceeded their load!” one of the Gno Magicians shouted.
“Captain! Forty degrees to the port side! We discovered the enemy commander!” a Gno that was perched in a crow’s nest yelled to the commander below.
The Gno commander took out a telescope and looked in said direction. A tall and burly Devil that was corrupted by the Ancient Gods had beco more devious. There were decaying blisters with dripping pus on his green skin. He held a huge Trident and focused his Mana as he aid the weapon at the Airship’s location.
“Full rudder on the starboard—!” the Gno commander scread. Soon, the command was relayed with repeated shouting.
“Full rudder on the starboard—!”
“Full rudder on the starboard—!”
The Airship started to dip and turn starboard with the help of the tailfin and the differential angles of the huge wings at the ship’s body.
The corrupted Devil threw out the fatal Trident.
The Trident was infused with gray Mana as it hurtled towards the Airship. It impaled itself into the body of the Airship that was trying to change direction. The gray Mana started to contaminate the entire Airship.
Consecutive screams were heard from the Airship as it dipped in the direction of the gars’ location.
“The NPC Airship is crashing! Find cover!” the gars shouted to warn the rest.
In this situation, it was difficult to dodge the crashing Airship. Within seconds, the huge Airship crashed at a corner of the battlefield.
The crash of the Airship created a shockwave of wood fragnts and rolling dust that engulfed the battlefield. It looked like a doomsday scenario.
The rolling dust engulfed the gars and the Ancient Gods army alike.
Arthur’s elite team was sent flying by the crash impact. Then there was a gray mist shrouding their vision. Arthur inhaled and felt his lungs choking. He coughed violently.
When he stood up, he threw down his shield and covered his nose. In the gray mist, a creature that emitted “Hoo loo loo” sounds charged at him.
Arthur swung his sword and slashed the red monster, which fell to the ground. Another figure dashed towards him at the side.
“Gosh! This is exhilarating! This special effect is so aweso!”
That was the soiled and dusty looking NotWearingPants.
Arthur thought he would look as dirty as NotWearingPants.
“Don’t dust yourself. The Airship’s gone. Our battle plan has failed.”
Arthur frowned. It was the NPC Airship that suppressed the Ancient Gods army. Without its suppressive firepower, it was close to impossible to kill the enemy commander.
“Arthur, the Airship crashed at our side. Can it be...” NotWearingPants asked abruptly, “... that we’re supposed to restart the Airship? Is this a Battle Campaign Plot Mission?”
