Chapter 522: Chapter 339: A Heart for the Light (3)
"So, they used this to carve out a piece of the pie from the nobles."
"Now, they want to completely replace the nobles and rule over us."
"That’s why when you fight these Werewolves, you must give it your all and focus your attacks to take them down."
"And don’t be nervous. They’re not immortal, just enhanced by their Equipment, which makes them tough to take down."
So that’s how it is.
Zhao Chi had suspected as much, but he hadn’t expected to be right.
’These Werewolves’ Genes are actually pretty good. Fusing a Weapon into one’s Body to achieve the state of Unity of Man and Sword?’
The Werewolves with Iwagaki must have been Elite Soldiers. The items fused into their bodies were at least Steel Equipment.
Perhaps even better.
No wonder it took a dozen, or even several dozen, full-power attacks to kill one.
After all, the Durability of High Level Equipment is extremely high. It would naturally take a long time to break through it.
And with the power of their weapons stacked on top of their Wolf Claws, it made sense that they could shatter the Female Soldiers’ Iron Armor in just three attacks.
And Iwagaki himself was a Lord, so of course his Equipment was even more impressive.
It took me and the women ganging up on him to finally take him down.
’But these Werewolves actually explode when they die...’
’Maybe it’s a side effect of fusing with their weapons?’
That would mean much less loot.
But that wasn’t important now.
Zhao Chi opened his private channel.
Inside were many unread messages.
Yang Xiong:
"Zhao Chi, you’re still fucking alive? Fucking awesome! I couldn’t reach you, so I really thought you were dead."
"Did you see me just now? I saw you. Looked the same as always, you sorry bastard, haha."
"Hurry up and join the World-breaking Army. A lot of people from our academy are here. We’ll try to get you assigned to our squad."
"I’m a total badass now. I’ll show you what I can do later. We should have time tonight to grab a drink. I’ll call Li Xun and the others."
"Gotta go, the battle’s starting. Talk tonight."
Lu Yi:
"Zhao Chi, so you escaped too. That’s wonderful."
"The fighting broke out so suddenly. Everyone was scattered, and many were captured. Several people from our class died there."
"I can’t believe you’re still alive. We’re all with Instructor Li. You should join us, too, right?"
"Yang Xiong said we should get together tonight, but you have to pass a test by killing those Werewolves."
"We have a huge advantage this time, so don’t worry. The battle’s starting. Talk later."
Li Xun: "Good to know you’re alive. Join us as soon as you can. Let’s fight together."
Wang Lie: "Zhao Chi, I’m glad to see you’re alive. Dozens from our class have died, there are fewer and fewer of us. But there are tens of people from our year here, and now we’re truly comrades-in-arms. Don’t join any other army, join our World-breaking Army."
Cao Feng: "So you’re not dead either? I guess fortune favors the foolish. Let’s have another fight when we have time. You’ll definitely lose this time."
Zhao Chi listened to the messages, feeling a wave of emotion.
A long-lost feeling bubbled up inside him.
Even his intense dislike for Cao Feng seemed to have faded significantly.
Zhao Chi now held anyone who stood with the resistance—the real resistance—in high regard.
Knowing they were all in battle, Zhao Chi didn’t reply to anyone.
He could just talk to them in person later.
However, Li Ruanyu hadn’t sent him a private message.
She was probably busy.
’From the Position she mentioned earlier, she’s a captain, too?’
’I was her student. Does that mean I have a ’backer’ now?’
Of course, he was only joking. As long as they could get rid of the Alien Race, nothing else mattered.
Snapping back to reality, Zhao Chi immediately relayed the current situation and the information about the Werewolves to Gu Qing and the others.
They nodded repeatedly in understanding.
Gu Qing smiled. "Escaping the control of that Werewolf Alien Race is a joyous occasion. Even if we have to fight frequently from now on, we’ll always be ready."
Tang Ruan nodded. "Right, right, me too! I’m ready to charge at any time!"
Qi Yue stroked the hilt of her blade. "So that’s why those Werewolves didn’t seem to get hurt. It’s because of Equipment Fusion... Well, knowing that gives me a better handle on things. I just need to slash them a few more times."
Zhuang Ya had never fought a Werewolf before.
But she was an expert at talking tough. "Werewolves are living things, too. Their Fusion Equipment should be afraid of heat, right? I’ll help you burn them to cinders."
Zhao Chi nodded. "Everyone, rest up a little more. The battle starts in ten minutes. Stay sharp!"
"Yes!"
Next, Zhao Chi contacted Su Qin.
Su Qin was also very happy.
It turned out she was also contacting her classmates, several of whom were also in the World-breaking Army.
Even her Chief Instructor was here, though he hadn’t been on the city wall just now.
It seemed there were quite a few people from the Eighth Academy in the World-breaking Army.
A little over ten minutes passed quickly.
Zhao Chi suddenly had a strange, inexplicable feeling.
He couldn’t describe it, but he could sense it.
He must have been released from the temporary space.
At that moment, the system’s matchmaking interface popped up:
[Enemy Lord Distribution Status]
[Total Number] 377
[Distributed] 185
[In Battle] 138
[Defeated] 47
[Awaiting Distribution] 192
[Countdown] 30 minutes
[Please Enter Matchmaking]
Just as he’d guessed, he was out of the Special space.
This matchmaking status was for the Alien Race Lords.
of them had already been matched.
Of those, 138 were in battle, and 47 had already been defeated—either killed or captured.
In just half an hour, 47 Alien Race Lords had been defeated.
The rebels’ Efficiency was quite high.
Moreover, the World-breaking Army was indeed picking them off one by one, having only matched with less than half of the Alien Race Lords.
