262 The Terrifying Heavy Blade Warriors

Zhao Qingrong’s figure flitted at an impossible speed, leaving afterimages in her wake. She reached the Heavy Blade Warriors. Her blade clashed with theirs.

She turned slightly and slashed with her saber. The blade of the Heavy Blade Warrior was just inches away from her face. However, it was enough for her. She stomped her feet and a powerful force erupted. Her speed increased.

A white light flashed. The next moment, a long gash appeared on a Heavy Blade Warrior’s thigh. Although it was a remarkable achievement, it was barely enough to slow down the creature. The Heavy Blade Warriors were metal puppets. They had no emotions. They didn’t get tired or scared. They just kept moving forward to attack and kill the enemy.

Zhao Qingrong suddenly bent forward at this moment to dodge the blade that was aimed at her. She flitted forward again and slashed in all directions. She was like a whirlwind. She dodged and attacked, leaving many gashes on the metal body of the Heavy Blade Warriors.

The Heavy Blade Warriors brandished their many blades and attacked Zhao Qingrong. However, she was like a dancer who never remained in one place. She flitted past, dodged, and attacked repeatedly. For a warrior like Zhao Qingrong, who focused on improving her combat, this was a dance to death.

Sparks flew everywhere. Blades flashed.

One of the Heavy Blade Warriors lost its metal leg and stumbled forward. Zhao Qingrong flew away and stacked another puppet.

The Heavy Blade Warrior who was dealt a fresh onslaught lost its balance and fell to the ground with a loud thud. It struggled to get up.

Zhao Qingrong stepped on its metal head, while her other foot came down on its shoulder with force. She brandished her saber and prepared to attack. As it hit the metal, a sharp sound rang out. Power surged. The huge head rolled a few meters away before coming to a halt.

The Heavy Blade Warriors fell one after the other at the hands of Zhao Qingrong. Everyone watched her in shock and awe. In an anti-magic zone like this, only a warrior like Zhao Qingrong was useful. She displayed her greatest strength. Her experience and skill were evident in the way she flitted from one puppet to another, defeating them entirely.

The Battleaxe Warriors likewise displayed their strength. They were fearless. Although the magic puppet spun and decapitated some of them, they kept fighting valiantly.

The Night Devil Bees were the same. Some were slashed by the many knives of the magic puppets. However, they managed to sting some of them with venom as they fell.

The intense fighting made the enemy retreat slightly. The giant lizards took advantage of the opportunity and charged. Their claws slashed through metal and shredded the Heavy Blade Warriors.

The Night Devil Bees’ attacks became even more intense. If the puppets slashed and killed one bee, the others swarmed and stung until the enemy fell.

They had no fear because Xu Yuan could always resurrect them.

Some of the Heavy Blade Warriors fought against the Dark Gargoyles, who were immune to 99% of physical damage. The puppets were at a disadvantage.

The Battleaxe Warriors at the rear threw their battleaxes and dealt immense damage to the Heavy Blade Warriors.

The puppets were tall and burly. That was their advantage. However, it made them too slow and restricted their movement, allowing the others to attack it continuously.

The non-stop attacks resulted in cracks in the metal bodies. Despite it, the Heavy Blade Warriors kept charging. One managed to kill two Battleaxe Warriors at the same time.

One Battleaxe Warrior threw its battleaxe, hoping to trigger the Instant-Death ability. However, the Heavy Blade Warriors were of higher rank, so the possibility of triggering it was very low. It threw the battleaxe thrice but still couldn’t manage to trigger the Instant-Death ability.

The Heavy Blade Warrior exploded anyway because of the impact of repeated attacks from the battleaxe. Its body shattered.

If it were a normal soldier, it would be impossible for it to take three rounds of attacks from a battleaxe without dying, but these puppets weren’t normal. This was one of the reasons why the mages had preferred metal puppets as their troops.

Faced with an enemy that was difficult to subdue, the Heavy Blade Warriors began mutating. They spread out their hands, and a few clasps extended from their wrists to buckle the heavy blade.

The two blades joined, forming a straight line. Their waist began to contract. The lower part remained still, but their upper body spun with force. The blade had turned into a meat grinder. Moreover, the puppets could tilt their upper body while spinning so that it left no blind spots.

The giant lizards happened to be within the opponent’s attack range. They were shredded to pieces. Many magic puppets spun at the same time like giant tops and rushed toward the enemy.

This was the Spiral Storm ability. It was very dangerous and highly effective.

Everyone focused on this new kind of attack. They needed to figure out a way to counter it. Charging recklessly would only mean death.

Fortunately, the Heavy Blade Warriors had no Lord to command them. Otherwise, the situation would turn dire.

The four Lords looked at each other. They needed to break the enemy’s defense somehow.

With a clear goal, the troops acted with exceptional decisiveness. They were here to kill the magic puppets and did not care about anything else. Hundreds of soldiers charged at the Heavy Blade Warriors.

Zhao Qingrong was still fighting alone. Without a spell caster, no one could possibly stop the spinning creatures. Her strength might not be enough to deal with them.

However, strength wasn’t everything to her. Her experience and skill, combined with the strength she currently had, amplified her motivation to make up for her flaws.
