I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 561: Dragon Horn

Dozens of shadow whirlwinds, spread out in several rows like a large net, slowly moved towards the trio. They sucked in anything they passed over, grinding it into powder;

Countless coins and jewels were sucked in, as if there were millions of blades within the whirlwind, turning them all into dust.

“All of you, will die!” The Shadow Giant Dragon roared madly, raising its head.

“With this skill, we must either resist or pass through the gaps in these shadow whirlwinds…” Qi Yun said, looking at Song Jian.

“To resist is to die!” Song Jian’s thought, as a red bloody light grew on his body’s surface. The Bloody Shield activated, his most potent protective shield.

“Entering will be what leads to death!” Qi Yun sneered. These shadow whirlwinds moved slowly but kept shifting. There appeared to be a repelling force between them, pushing each other away if they got too close. Dozens of whirlwinds filled the hall. It wasn’t as simple as getting past one, there were at least five or six layers. Any slight mistake could result in being sucked into a whirlwind.

Song Jian did not spare a glance at Qi Yun and transformed into a shadow, rushing forward;

Even before he got close, Song Jian could feel the harsh momentum emanating from the whirlwinds. It felt like a small knife, the gaps between them seemed to be filled with this force turning them into countless blade edges.

Song Jian’s Bloody Shield’s defense level began to decline, like rain falling into a river, ripples continuously spread.

Qi Yun watched Song Jian with a cold smile: “He still has a chance to retreat now. If he goes any further, I’m afraid he won’t even have the chance to retreat and will just be shredded by the whirlwinds.”

Kane, the Minotaur, glanced at Qi Yun, roared, lifted a helmet onto his head and with the Bloodthirsty Totem Pillar in his arms, blindly charged into the gap between the shadow whirlwinds;

Qi Yun’s face darkened, it seemed that the Minotaur was willing to believe Song Jian over him.

Looking at the Minotaur taking multiple hits with five to six points of damage each time, Qi Yun’s lips curled into a cold smile. Following this rate of damage, the Minotaur would be killed by the force, without even needing to be sucked into the shadow whirlwinds;

Waving its wings, the Shadow Giant Dragon sent out countless Shadow Arrows at the trio. Song Jian was startled, this boss was too terrifying, with far too many group attacks, all of immense power. Even a team of ten might not be able to succeed in vanquishing it.

Sacred Parry!

His sword drawn sideways, a halo of gold bloomed. Song Jian’s body jolted, reflecting the shadow arrows aimed at him back, continuing his forward charge;

Expending nearly eight hundred Vitality Points, Song Jian finally broke through the shadow whirlwind’s large net. With the flap of his iron wings, Song Jian leaped high into the air, stabbing at the Shadow Giant Dragon’s skull with his sword;

Meanwhile, the Minotaur warrior’s pace was slowing down. His armor’s durability was plummeting, and his Vitality Points had dropped to less than a third. His exposed skin was covered with bloody gashes, making him look rather pitiful.

He was right in the center position of the shadow whirlwind. Whether he went forwards or retreated, the damage taken would be nearly the same. He had fallen into the predicament that Qi Yun had warned of earlier where advancing or retreating was impossible.

Qi Yun smirked, a mocking look in his eyes: “This is what happens when you believe him!”

Kane, the Minotaur, took off his single-digit durability helmet, horribly panting. His eyes were bloodshot but still displayed an unyielding spirit.

“Blessing of the ancestors!” Kane let out a earth-shattering roar. The Bloodthirsty Totem Pillar in his hand suddenly burst forth with a bloody glow. A giant Minotaur phantom appeared above Kane’s head, shaking the sky with a roar while brandishing two gigantic axes;

Thump, thump, thump~

Profound war drum sounds resonated. Surprisingly, a set of seemingly simple armor appeared on Kane’s body. The armor, made by binding a few pieces of iron with animal skin, was very crude, protecting only a few critical areas.

Yet Kane’s face revealed a surprised and joyous expression, he couldn’t help but roar, his eyes filled with tears;

This ancestral battle armor could only be worn by the bravest warriors of the tribe. Only those who received the recognition of the Bloodthirsty Totem Pillar could summon this armor.

With this ancestral battle armor, the damage Kane took was reduced to a terrifying level. The damage that would usually deal more than a dozen points, was directly reduced to single digits;

Moreover, wearing this battle armor increased Kane’s attributes, almost doubling them. Holding the totem pillar in his hands, he too broke through the blockade of the shadow whirlwinds, roaring as he charged at the Shadow Giant Dragon.

Qi Yun’s face turned deathly pale. He slowly backed away from the slowly approaching shadow whirlwinds until his back hit the icy rock walls of the treasure vault, and he finally stopped.

“Damn it!” Qi Yun was quickly getting nervous.

The coins and jewels within the treasure vault were all turned into powder by the shadow whirlwinds. This filled the vault with a golden fog. The originally grey shadow whirlwinds had now also turned golden.

“I have to charge out. If I continue to stay, I’ll only face death.” Qi Yun gritted his teeth, preparing to charge out, but suddenly noticed that the shadow whirlwinds were beginning to change.

The originally repelling shadow whirlwinds started to attract each other and merge. Four combined into two, two into one. In less than ten seconds, dozens of shadow whirlwinds had merged into one giant cyclone, with a diameter of over ten meters.

This golden cyclone, like a giant dragon, let out sharp roars. Its powerful suction shook the vault itself.

“No, how can this happen!”

Qi Yun looked at the cyclone over ten meters high, despair evident in his eyes. His body involuntarily flew towards the cyclone, and in no time, his entire person disappeared within it.

Song Jian, however, had not realized that Qi Yun had been sucked into the cyclone. His sword ruthlessly stabbed into the Shadow Giant Dragon’s forehead. He then swung himself onto the Dragon’s head; holding onto one horn with one hand, he started attacking with his sword in the other;

Bang, bang, bang~

Sounds of iron striking landed on the Shadow Giant Dragon’s skull. Song Jian’s sword pierced through the dragon scales, but failed to break through the dragon’s cranial defense. Even after using the Weakness Potion, reducing the overall defense of the Shadow Giant Dragon, it was still not possible to penetrate the skull, the hardest part of its skeleton, with the Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword, at least not immediately.

“Chop off its horn, and it’ll lose its power!” Kane swung his totem pillar, fiercely smashing it on the Shadow Giant Dragon’s leg. Seeing Song Jian fiercely chopping the Shadow Giant Dragon’s skull, he roared loudly.
