Chapter 503: Death of the Scorpion King
Boom!
The Scorpion King was sent flying like a rocket.
His massive body crashed into the distance, smashing through several pieces of rubble before finally crashing into the ground and creating a deep crater.
The ground trembled vehemently, and thick dust rose into the air.
Ahhhh! Ahhh!
Lying inside the deep crater, the Scorpion King puked out blood continuously from his mouth. His chest rose and fell heavily as he struggled to recover from the devastating impact.
His face was pale, filled with shock and disbelief.
The battle had completely exceeded his expectations, and for the first time, he realized that the human necromancer before him was far more troublesome than he had initially imagined.
Spiderweb cracks spread throughout his High Grade Bronze armor.
Without the armor, he would have been more severely injured than this, and there was a good chance that the previous attack would have caused serious damage to his body.
Even at that, the armor would not be able to withstand a second attack of such magnitude without shattering to pieces.
Wiping the blood from his mouth, he rose to his feet and leaped out of the deep crater.
His eyes remained sharp despite the pain coursing through his body, and his crimson gaze immediately swept across the battlefield in search of the enemy.
And then, he saw it.
Outside the crater, a massive undead was walking toward the Scorpion King in large strides. Each step landed heavily against the ruined ground, causing small pieces of rubble to tremble beneath its feet.
"How could this be?"
The Scorpion King widened his eyes with disbelief as he stared at the approaching undead.
His expression changed several times as he finally recognized the familiar figure standing before him.
Never in his wildest dreams did he expect his archrival would someday turn into an undead and fight him.
His thoughts were in disarray.
The Horn Lizard Clan had fallen, and that was the bitter truth.
With their king becoming an undead servant for the human, there was no way their town could still be standing.
The existence of the undead Horn Lizard King before him was already enough to confirm it.
Now, the missing piece of the puzzle was finally in place.
He had been wondering how the human managed to enter his palace without his knowledge.
Now, he had his answer.
Holding a Peak Grade Bronze cudgel, the undead Horn Lizard King charged at the Scorpion King like a racing juggernaut.
This time, the juggernaut was an undead.
Its massive body moved forward without hesitation, carrying an overwhelming force that caused the surrounding rubble to tremble beneath its feet.
With the introduction of the undead Horn Lizard King, the tide of the battle shifted completely.
The Scorpion King had already been struggling against the coordinated attacks of the powerful undead, and the arrival of another Level 40 undead changed everything.
Still, the Scorpion King showed why he was the ruler of the Bleeding Desert.
Fearlessly, he charged forward and threw a powerful fist. Rather than retreating from the approaching undead, he chose to confront it directly.
[Royal Scorpion Fist]
Boom!
The cudgel and the gauntlet collided, and a powerful shockwave spread throughout the ruined palace.
The force of the collision sent dust and broken stones flying in every direction while cracks spread across the already damaged ground.
The undead Horn Lizard King stumbled backward more than five steps, leaving deep footprints behind with every retreating step, while the Scorpion King only took three steps backward.
The difference in their physical strength was immediately revealed.
However, before the Scorpion King could regain his balance, the undead General’s massive saber whistled toward him from the left.
’Danger!’
Swiftly, he did not think but reacted, throwing three fast and powerful punches to intercept the incoming saber strike.
His movements were almost instinctive, relying entirely on his battle experience to respond to the sudden attack.
While he tried to defend against the strike, he saw the undead Kharv appear just in time beside the undead General.
Its massive axe was already roaring toward the Scorpion King with terrifying momentum, creating a sharp whistling sound.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The Scorpion King managed to defend against the undead General’s saber strike, but he could not defend against the deadly axe strike coming from the other side.
His attention had been divided between two powerful enemies, leaving him with no time to react to the second attack.
Boom!
Ahhhh!
He was sent flying, crashing into the ruins of a building.
A deep gash appeared across his waist, with blood gushing out continuously from the severe wound.
The axe strike had broken through his High Grade Bronze armor and inflicted a fatal injury. The once-powerful defensive equipment had been broken through.
Holding his waist, the King raised his head, and for the first time, fear appeared deep within his eyes.
The pain was intense, but what frightened him even more was the realization that he was no longer in control of the battle.
Thud! Thud!
Rapid, heavy footsteps rushed toward him, and the King quickly forced himself back to his feet.
His body trembled slightly from the injuries, but his step remained firmed. But then, the undead Horn Lizard King had arrived.
It swung its cudgel in a wide arc, trying to crush everything in its path with overwhelming power.
The massive weapon tore through the air with enough force to pulverize anything caught directly in its trajectory.
Whoosh!
The Scorpion King evaded the deadly attack with his fast movement, narrowly slipping away from the sweeping cudgel.
However, in doing so, he failed to notice the dense formation of undead vanguard standing behind the undead Horn Lizard King.
Bang!
Before he could even react, a massive hammer slammed into his chest.
The attack struck with devastating force, completely catching him off guard and sending a powerful shock through his already battered body.
Ahhh!
A soul-rending scream escaped from the Scorpion King as he was sent flying backward toward where he had come from. His body crashed through several pieces of rubble, while the remaining fragments of his armor finally shattered completely.
His armor shattered to pieces, exposing his sturdy scales and powerful muscles.
Bang!
Before he could crash to the ground, the heavy cudgel of the undead Horn Lizard King slammed into his chest.
The timing of the attack was perfect, giving the Scorpion King no opportunity to recover or defend himself properly.
Ahhhhhhhh!
Crack!
The sound of bones shattering to pieces echoed through the air. Several of the Scorpion King’s ribs broke under the tremendous impact.
Blood splattered out of the Scorpion King’s mouth as he crashed heavily into the ground.
His body remained motionless for a brief moment, while his head spun violently and everything around him became blurred.
Fear gripped his heart like a vice.
’Is this my end?’
He thought, but he was unwilling to die just now.
How could someone like him accept death so easily?
He tried to summon all his bloodline power to heal his injuries, forcing the remaining strength within his body toward his shattered bones and damaged organs, but his enemy did not give him the chance.
"Noooooo!"
"Nooooooo!"
Bang! Bang!
The undead Horn Lizard King struck continuously with its deadly cudgel, bypassing the little defense the Scorpion King could summon.
By the fifth strike, the Scorpion King lay frozen in his pool of blood.
And in that moment, a strange silence permeated the whole Scorpion City.
