Chapter 1113 - Detonated Fear
Chapter 1113: Detonated Fear
The arrow that was supposed to release all its spirit power after flying hundreds of meters instantly blew up in its owner’s spine.
Flames, electric arcs, clusters of ice crystals, and wind blades exploded.
Even though the centaur leader’s bones had been tempered to the point that they were as hard as steel, they could not withstand the torrents of destruction that raged inside his body.
At this point, the totem armor that completely covered his body brought even greater damage to him instead.
When the destructive spirit energy exploded from his body and collided with the totem armor, he was unable to release it.
The energy could only return the way it came from and rammed into his chest and abdomen again, causing secondary damage.
From the outside, only his totem armor could be seen. Time and time again, it bulged from the inside, creating ugly bumps all over.
However, no one could see that his upper human body had exploded, burned, and frozen behind the armor!
Meng Chao still did not stop.
He was like a war machine driven by unlimited energy.
Only when the last cell of his target was completely destroyed would he stop his crushing blows.
He took out more arrows from the centaur leader’s quiver.
He inserted them one by one along the two sides of the spine that belonged to the horse half.
If the prior bombardment on the centaur leader’s upper body had been as rough as it could be, at this moment, Meng Chao was displaying the intricacies and precision of a top reaper to the fullest.
He waved the other party’s arrows gently as if he was playing with a few feathers.
These “feathers” silently drilled into the sides of his opponent’s spine through the cracks in his armor.
Right then, the centaur leader was still in a state where his throat was locked by the chain blade and his brain was severely deprived of oxygen.
His upper human body had been broken into several pieces by Meng Chao’s elbow and the explosion of the arrows. It lost the function of supporting the body, and his nerves could no longer transmit electrical signals.
His brain had lost control of his lower warhorse body, and he had turned into a puppet without a soul. He was overwhelmed by the arrows that Meng Chao kept inserting into his body.
Meng Chao had made use of his experience in dissecting countless monsters.
He had figured out the centaur’s physiological structure long ago.
His spirit energy flowed into both sides of the centaur’s spine through the arrows and turned into biological electricity, stimulating the centaur’s nerve endings repeatedly.
The centaur leader became his “mount” too. He galloped crazily and crashed into the heavily armored knights who had just gotten up and barely regained their balance.
“This is…”
All the heavily armored knights were dumbfounded when they saw their leader charging at them under the enemy’s command.
The leader was known as the Shock Wave in his clan. His most famous battle record was of the time he accelerated to his maximum speed during a conflict between the Blood Hoof Clan and the Gold Clan. He had knocked away seven tiger warriors in one go.
How could such a vicious person be suppressed by the enemy and be treated as a “mount”?
All the centaur warriors could not believe their eyes.
However, they had to believe it when their leader crashed into them. Their tendons and bones were broken, while their brains and organs were simultaneously displaced. The pain was intense.
Receiving a double blow to their souls and flesh, the battle formation that had just been formed was once again broken apart.
Meanwhile, Meng Chao continued to sit on the leader’s back. His totem armor was surging with magma as if seven burning giant dragons were coiled around his body. The awe-inspiring mysterious warrior appeared even more unstoppable, and he turned into red-hot iron, deeply branding his image on the centaur warriors’ cerebral cortex.
It made their brains boil, and every brain cell let out a scream of extreme fear.
Just like that, Meng Chao went on a rampage and swept through everything, knocking over more than a dozen armored heavy cavalrymen in one go.
The centaur leader could no longer take the abuse. His four lower limbs buckled at the same time, and he fell to the ground with a loud thud.
Meng Chao was already prepared. He leaped into the air and landed steadily in front of the centaur leader.
At first glance, it looked like the centaur leader was kneeling and prostrating himself before him.
Unfortunately, Meng Chao was not his god.
At best, he could only be his death god.
As he made a light hooking gesture with his finger, two giant python-like chains were raised high. They darted back like lightning and wrapped around Meng Chao’s arms again.
He exerted force into his arms and tightened the chains. The two heavy chain blades, which had been forged by the Skull Crushers, locked the centaur leader’s head in place, with one blade in front and one behind.
“Die!” Meng Chao shouted. The chain blades emitted a scarlet light, and the centaur leader’s head was blown up into the air by a gorgeous blood column.
The rain of blood fell on Meng Chao’s head like a waterfall. His battle flames burned it and turned it into a blood mist that puffed nonstop. It further accentuated his strength and terror.
Meng Chao retracted his chain blade and flicked away the remaining blood stains on it. He did not even look at the bloody corpses anymore.
His sharp eyes were like crescent sabers that swept across the throats of every heavily armored knight.
All the centaur warriors, whom he stared at, felt a chill run down their spines.
The Bomb of Fear that had been implanted deep in their brains was detonated immediately.
That’s right, this was Meng Chao’s trump card.
His mental attack was far from over.
As the name implied, the Bomb of Fear had to be detonated using fear.
When the two sides first clashed, Meng Chao’s sudden burst of killing intent could managed to shock the centaur warriors, but it was far from scaring the other party to the point where their mental defenses collapsed.
Even if he could implant the information about the Rat God into the centaur warriors’ brains, it would be impossible for him to destroy their brains extensively.
But now, it was another time.
In the blink of an eye, he had subdued and seemingly killed the centaur leader.
All the surviving centaur warriors felt the earth-shattering shock.
The terrifying brainwaves interfered with each other, infected each other, and escalated. Finally, they broke through the critical point of collapse.
When Meng Chao once again pushed his brainwaves to the limit and created a brand new illusion. But the difficulty of blasting the illusion into the centaur warriors’ brain region was reduced by more than ten times.
The centaur warriors once again saw the Big-horned Rat God.
This time, it was no longer a shining golden shadow standing on the clouds.
Instead, it was standing above their heads with a bloodthirsty saber pointed at the center of their brows.
They saw every pattern on the ferocious horns atop the Rat God’s head.
They also saw the corner of the Rat God’s mouth with his skull mask curled up into an extremely cruel smile.
They even saw the Rat God waving his saber and mercilessly splitting open his heavenly façade.
From the edge of the saber came the raging fury of countless rat people over the past tens of millions of years, burning all their brains that had been splattered into nothingness.
Combined with the deep memories of the chaos in Black-corner City yesterday, they felt as if the entire city had been turned upside down.
“The Rat God truly exists. We are making an enemy out of an incomparably powerful, tyrannical, and angry ancestral spirit.” The knowledge was like a flood or a ferocious beast, instantly breaking through their mental defenses.
No one knew who was the first to let out a hysterical scream.
The headless centaur warriors turned around one after another, desperately running away.
Once the “invincible” lie was torn to shreds, the centaur warriors who had personally buried their pride and glory were no different from the fleeing rat people.
Looking at their fleeing figures, Meng Chao finally let out a long sigh under the totem battle armor filled with killing intent.
“These idiots…”
He sneered.
The centaur leader was definitely not as weak as he appeared on the surface.
In order to create the illusion of being “overwhelmed,” Meng Chao even threw out the Skull Crushers that he had just obtained as bait.
In an instant, he activated his life magnetic field to its limit, causing a severe backlash to his brain and organs.
Just as the centaur leader felt that his internal organs were on fire, Meng Chao was also suffering from a heart-wrenching pain.
If the remaining centaur warriors could gather their “bravery” and “glory,” they would still be able to group together and charge at Meng Chao without a leader.
Meng Chao, who had been arrogant just a moment ago, would probably have no choice but to run away with his tail between his legs.
Unfortunately, there were no ifs on the battlefield where the winner was the king and the loser was the enemy.
The fleeing centaur warriors were all scared out of their wits. They were all in a state of panic.
They could not organize their retreat formation at all. They had lost their awareness of covering each other. They did not even have time to observe their allies’ positions.
That gave Meng Chao and Ice Storm the golden opportunity to break them one by one.
Before Meng Chao recovered from the negative effects of the backlash of his spirit energy, Ice Storm had already transformed into a silver bolt of lightning and pounced forward like a wolf or a tiger.
Her Platinum Ripper rose and fell like a rabbit in the grass, continuously pouncing on the centaur warriors who were at the very back.
No matter how large and majestic the centaur warriors’ bodies were, once they were dragged into the depths of the grass by the platinum-forged cheetah.
Soon, there would be bursts of blood like fireworks, followed by a few messy and short screams.
Then, all sounds would be cut off.
Such an attack made the centaur warriors running at the front even more afraid.
And the fear continued to spread, like a mental bomb being detonated repeatedly, completely eliminating the last possibility of them regrouping.
As the intensity of the brainwave concussion continued to increase, the brains of many centaur warriors underwent organic mutations. In return, they lost the management of their sense of balance and direction.
They were disoriented and panicked. They darted around in the bushes like headless flies.
A few unlucky fellows actually circled back to the area where Meng Chao was.
What greeted them was Meng Chao, who had gotten rid of the backlash from his spirit energy, and he regained control of his vitality magnetic field with a smile on his face.
As for the Skull Crushers in his hands that seemed to be hungry…
This time, the two newly-made heavy chain blades finally got their wish.
They had become veritable Skull Crushers.
Just like that, like two giant scythes in the hands of the god of death, Meng Chao and Ice Storm gradually shrank the range of their sweep from the left and right wings. They reaped the lives of the centaur warriors as if they were cutting grass.
When the two death blades came together, there were only a few centaur warriors in front of them who were still running away.
