Warlord Chapter 172 - Angels

Saurun roared, struggling to lift the shield of flame in his left hand. In that split-second, he successfully unsheathed his saber. Although the military knife was sharp, it was still unable to break through the energy layer of the flame shield. Saurun used all his strength and sent the thing that had almost taken his life flying to the corner of the passage. When he looked again, he saw that the futile attack had already run towards the direction of the shopping mall.

"Zero, you coward!" Saurun cursed angrily, but his feet were not idle. After reconstructing his element position, Saurun ran in the direction where Zero disappeared.

Saurun did not notice that under the guerilla tactics of zero, his elemental stance could no longer remain invisible as it had been at the beginning. Instead, a crimson radiance would occasionally appear and disappear. Furthermore, the elemental equipment on their bodies, be it the flame rifle or the Armor, the light they emitted was simply too exuberant. The exuberance of the light rays was not a good thing. It could only mean that Saurun's strength had decreased, and he could no longer guarantee that he would be able to keep the energy of his elemental weapons at a stable level.

An unstable energy fusion would cause the elemental armor's structure to loosen, thus reducing its defensive power.

But at this time, how could Saurun care so much?

Although his speed had not reached the speed of sound, his full speed was still as fast as lightning. With a long trail of flames, Saurun had already caught up to the exit. He shouted loudly and ran towards the wall. The huge force caused him to temporarily break away from the gravitational force of the earth, running at an almost vertical angle on the wall. Arriving at the main entrance, Saurun stopped abruptly, crouched down, and exerted his strength again.

A circle of fire flashed past the wall before it collapsed with a loud bang. Using this force, Saurun used the Flame Shield to protect his front, and like a cannonball, he blasted open two metal doors that were five centimeters thick. The metal door groaned and twisted, and the bearing broke under the force of the impact. The door swung open on both sides and crashed into a nearby store, crushing countless objects.

Saurun flew out in a straight line, carrying a ball of fiery light. Under his gaze, Zero's figure appeared to be in a hurry.

Drinking again, he threw out the gun in his hand.

Zero turned around and raised the M500's muzzle in Saurun's direction. But before he could pull the trigger, the flamethrower had arrived.

The scorching energy spear hit the left side of the M500's body, causing it to instantly disintegrate. As the flamethrower was pushed forward, the large caliber left gun scattered into fragments and parts, while the right arm of zero was directly hit by the berserk energy of the flamethrower.

The musket grazed past zero and was nailed to the ground. After flashing for a while, it exploded with a loud bang.

Zero's body was sent flying by the explosion. He crashed into the wall of a nearby shop and then landed on the ground.

As for Saurun, he passed the area where the explosion had taken place and adjusted his position to land on the ground. Facing the direction of zero, Saurun half squatted on the ground and kept gliding due to the full power of the sprint.

Waiting until the energy dissipated, Saurun pushed off the ground with his foot and charged towards the zero direction.

Zero was now bouncing off the ground, his entire right hand scorched black, the bandages around his arm still burning. However, he had no time to pay attention to this. His back was arched and with a flick, Colt jumped up. With his left hand, he grabbed the sniper rifle.

Colt held it level with Zero's arm and held it in the same straight line.

The golden eye in his right hand suddenly expanded, and Saurun's figure appeared in front of Zero's eyes.

In the darkness of the shopping mall, Colt's flames brutally tore through the surrounding darkness. Bullets shot out from the muzzle of his gun at the initial speed of a kilometer per second.

Saurun narrowed his eyes and shouted loudly. He suddenly stopped and jumped up, barely allowing the bullet to pass underneath him. In an instant, a clothing store behind Saurun exploded. It was caused by a armor piercing bullet equipped with zero fire elements.

However, after shooting this one, there was only one armor piercing bullet left that had missed.

Saurun landed on the ground with all his might and continued to sprint forward.

Zero tucked the sniper rifle under his arm and reloaded it with one hand. Raising Colt again, he aimed at Sauron and made a shooting motion.

Saurun immediately felt a needle-like signal coming from his brows, and he immediately rolled over. However, to his surprise, there were no bullets.

He was tricked?

As the thought rose in his mind, Colt let out another roar, and the last of the armored bullets went straight at Sauron.

Saurun was no longer able to adjust his posture. He had no choice but to use all his strength to push up the elemental force field and place the shield of flame in front of his chest. A powerful vibration spread throughout his body in the next second, blocking the elemental energy bullet. However, the flames from the explosion exploded like a tidal wave in front of Saurun. Zero's figure was immediately engulfed by the flames.

The flames disappeared in a flash. However, after recovering his vision, Saurun saw something strange spinning and shooting towards him.

It looked like the handle of a dagger, but it had no blade. Although the object reflected the metallic luster within the fiery light, Saurun did not feel that a single metal object could pose any threat to him.

These thoughts quickly flashed through Saurun's mind, and he habitually raised the Flame Shield. When the energy shield was raised to his chest, Saurun saw a ray of cold light suddenly shoot out from the front end of the shield. The cold light slightly trembled, forming the shape of the blade.

Energy weapon?

Saurun shouted in his heart. He wanted to dodge, but it was already too late. His earlier contempt had already caused him to lose his last chance to evade.

The flow of time began to slow down, and Saurun could clearly see the energy dagger drawing out a path of light in the air as it stabbed into his shield of flame. A shield made of the same energy structure couldn't stop the advancement of the Light Dagger. This could only mean that the other party's arrangement of particles was several levels higher than his own Flame Shield.

Next, the dagger stabbed into his chest. In front of this energy weapon, Saurun's elemental armour was easily broken. Saurun only felt a warmth in his chest, and he could feel it sinking deep into his chest. The elemental armor exploded with a loud bang, and a fiery light flashed from Saurun's body as it was automatically disarmed.

Saurun's eyes widened as he stared in disbelief at the weapon in his chest. It stabbed into Saurun's heart and quickly took away his life.

Saurun slowly fell to the ground, but he wasn't dead yet. The vitality of Adepts was far greater than that of ordinary humans. However, no matter how vigorous they were, they couldn't survive a situation where their hearts were pierced through. He began to pant, and his body began to tremble. His eyes gradually began to fade, and he saw Zero walking toward him.

Zero had already reloaded Colt with an ordinary sniper rifle. He walked over to Sauron and pointed the gun at his forehead.

"Kill me!" Saurun said weakly.

Zero looked at him, unable to say what he felt. Sauron could be said to be the indirect killer of Leah. More than once he had thought of ways to kill him. But now, when he could just pull the trigger and end his life, Zero did not move at all.

He bent down and pulled out his Light Tooth. The moment it left Saurun's body, the Light Tooth retracted back to its energy blade, waiting for the next opportunity to show its fangs.

Once the dagger left his body, Saurun's chest started bleeding profusely. He pressed hard against his wound, but blood continued to flow through his fingers.

Zero turned to leave.

"Pu * * y! What, you don't even dare to kill me? "Oh right, you're afraid of revenge, right? Haha, don't worry, my father will avenge me soon!"

Saurun's voice came from behind, with Zero's silent reply, "Wouldn't it be too easy if I shot you? You can just lie there and feel yourself slowly dying. This is the interest I'm offering Liya. "

Saurun stiffened.

He was not afraid of death, but as Zero had said, lying in the cold and dark ruins and slowly feeling the life drain from his body was more painful than killing him.

"NO!" I'm going to kill you, zero! You can't insult my dignity like that! "

Saurun clenched his teeth and slowly sat up. He extended his trembling right hand in the direction of zero, and the few remaining fire elementals began to take shape.

With a sigh, Zero turned around and kicked his leg. The tip of his foot landed on a piece of broken glass on the ground. Instantly, the glass shard pierced the great artery on Saurun's neck.

The fluctuations of the fire element gradually dissipated.

Saurun's eyes revealed a smile as he followed his hand and hung it down powerlessly. Finally, the lifeless corpse fell heavily onto the floor, creating a cloud of dust.

Seeing the smile on Saurun's face, Zero shook his head. He could no longer tell who was the true victor. But one thing was certain, he was still alive!

Sauron's body was soon discovered by soldiers who had regained their sanity.

Looking at the body of the noble youth, the soldiers looked at each other in dismay. This was a serious problem. If the top executives of Parkland knew that Saurun had been single-handedly confronted with a powerful foe due to their internal strife, even if they returned to Parkland headquarters, they would still be branded as derelicts, and then all of them would be executed as Saurun's companions.

A soldier tore the coat of arms of the Parkland family off his chest, then expressionlessly said to the others, "I'm not going back, from today onwards, I'm just a mercenary!"

His words caused a chain reaction. After the captain was assassinated by a zero, the soldiers that lacked binding power naturally wouldn't be loyal enough to accompany Saurun in death. So everyone undid the family arms and threw them next to Sauron. As for Saurun's corpse, they would not care about it. The mutated beasts would soon turn him into a nourishment for his body, so the soldiers did not have to worry about it.

Just as they were about to leave, someone discovered the strange scene outside the mall.

"Look, it's so bright outside..."

That's right, looking out from the shopping mall. It was originally late at night, but the streets outside the shopping mall suddenly became incomparably bright. A dazzling silver light quietly descended, illuminating every corner of the street. Countless mutated beasts that were hiding in the shadows scrambled away from the light. It was as if the silver light contained their natural enemy.

The soldier who had pulled off the badge just now carried his gun and walked towards the window of the shopping mall. The intense light made him squint his eyes. The soldier shielded his eyes with his hand. Through the gaps between his fingers, he saw a figure floating in the silver light.

Other than this figure, the soldier also saw a pair of enormous wings that were ten meters long flapping softly on the back of that person.

Angel? he thought.

This was the last thought in his mind!
