Chapter 501: The Scorpion King Battle.
[Scorpion City]
Boom! Boom!
Thunderous sounds echoed throughout the King’s palace as if the world itself was about to come to an end.
Many hiding inside their homes trembled down to their bones as shock and panic gripped them tightly.
For many Scorpion Clansmen, they were already on the brink of a mental breakdown.
Whenever they thought the situation couldn’t get any worse, something even worse would happen.
It was as if whoever was behind this was deliberately toying with them.
Playing with their hearts.
Scorpion Clansmen who had stood at the top of the pyramid for far too long now wished only for this misery to end.
Many had cried so many times that their eyes could no longer shed tears. Some had even fainted after experiencing too much devastation and terror.
Even when most of the Scorpion Clansmen were on the verge of losing themselves, they did not dare step outside their homes.
The continuous sound of footsteps outside their doors was enough to make them afraid to breathe too loudly.
And now, with the earthshaking sounds coming from the direction of the palace, many curled up like frightened balls, trembling uncontrollably.
Inside the palace, deep craters could be seen everywhere.
The previous grand palace was long gone, replaced by crumbling houses and flattened structures.
Standing at the heart of the chaos, the Scorpion King moved like a juggernaut, his gauntlets shining brightly with every devastating punch.
[Royal Scorpion Fist]
Bang! Bang!
Two of the undead Scorpion Commanders raised their massive shields to withstand the terrifying punches.
Sparks flew everywhere as the overwhelming force slammed against their shields.
The two undead stumbled backward, their feet carving deep footprints into the ground as they struggled to stabilize themselves.
To the side, the undead General swung his massive saber in a low, wide arc, aiming directly for the Scorpion King’s legs.
On the other side, the undead Garron struck simultaneously, his massive butcher knife sweeping through the air in a wide arc toward the King’s upper body.
Even though the Scorpion King had just released a flurry of punches, his reaction was instantaneous.
He twisted his body and performed an impossible leap into the air, avoiding the undead General’s low sweeping attack by barely an inch.
While in motion, his stinger did not remain idle.
It swung at breathtaking speed, moving so quickly that ordinary eyes could barely follow its trajectory.
Boom!
The undead General was sent flying for hundreds of meters, creating a deep, long crater on the ground.
At the same time, the King responded to the undead Garron’s strike.
Bang! Bang!
He slapped the butcher knife to the side effortlessly, creating an opening for a counterattack.
Boom!
His powerful punch slammed into the chest of the undead Garron, sending him flying into the distance.
It crashed into a crumbling building, and the entire house collapsed over him, completely burying his massive figure beneath the rubble.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye.
Fast. Quick and decisive.
Back on his feet, the Scorpion King vanished from his spot.
[Royal Scorpion Shadow]
He appeared beside the undead Kharv, who was prepared to launch a strike, and struck decisively.
Even though he was fast and impossible for ordinary eyes to follow, he could not escape Thoren’s powerful perception.
Just as the powerful fist was about to slam into the undead Kharv’s head, it raised its massive axe to defend its skull.
If the attack had landed directly on its head, its skull would have been pulverized into pieces.
Bang!
The King’s punch slammed into the flat side of the axe, sending both the axe and the undead Kharv flying into the distance.
The King did not even glance at the result of his attack as he was already prepared to move toward his next target.
Suddenly, an undead appeared from his shadow. Its movement was fast and almost impossible to perceive.
Bang! Bang!
Its dagger plunged deep into the backside of the King, passing through his hardened scales and sturdy body.
Immediately, blood gushed out like a broken dam.
"Ahhh!"
Furious and confused, the Scorpion King turned swiftly, ready to end the undead’s brutal attack. To his shock, the undead had already vanished into the shadow.
’This!’
Stunned, he searched for the undead but did not find any trace of it. It was as if the undead had never appeared in the first place.
’An undead assassin...’ he thought, and his expression darkened.
He had been dominating the battle through his overwhelming strength and frightening speed, but the presence of a deadly assassin had completely changed the tempo of the battle.
Now, he had to keep an eye out for the assassin.
Once again, the battle entered another flow.
The Scorpion King could no longer attack recklessly as he had done before.
Every time he moved, he had to consider the possibility of the assassin emerging from his shadow.
Every shadow around him had suddenly become a potential threat.
His powerful perception searched continuously, but the assassin had disappeared without leaving behind the slightest trace.
"Come out!" the Scorpion King roared furiously.
His voice shook the surrounding ruins as his killing intent surged like a raging storm.
However, there was no response.
Only the distant sounds of battle answered his challenge.
The undead General slowly emerged from the rubble, its massive body covered in dust as it tightened its grip around the giant saber.
Nearby, undead Kharv also rose from the destroyed ground, his massive axe still firmly held in his hands.
The undead Garron kicked away the rubble covering his body and stood once again.
None of them showed fear.
None of them showed pain.
They simply stared at the Scorpion King with their hollow sockets burning with pale soul fire.
The King gritted his teeth.
And now, an assassin was hiding somewhere within the battlefield, waiting patiently for another opportunity to strike.
The Scorpion King slowly wiped the blood flowing from his back.
His eyes became colder.
’So this is the true strength of the Grim Reaper.’
