Chapter 577 The Tournament of Champions - First Round (3)
The audience also asked themselves the same question. What was the Sorcerer's ability? To be able to summon hundreds of zombies was both a scary, and powerful ability.
Queen Eliza continued hacking, slashing, and stabbing through the zombie's thin flesh. The greenish blood littered the ground while the zombies never stopped moving. They ran over their fallen comrades, and tried to bite a chunk off of Eliza's flesh.
However, each swing of her sword had a meaning. Once she slashed, and killed one of the zombies, she immediately changed the grip, and did a follow-up attack. With this strategy, none of the zombies reached her.
But, there didn't seem to be an end to the zombies. Her stamina reserves were decreasing as she continued fighting without stopping. The zombies didn't seem to have even a danger of depleting their stamina.
'This can't go on...' Queen Eliza thought as her gaze went past the sea of zombies, landing on Sorcerer's figure. He still didn't move. Only stood beside the closing portals.
She decided that she had to do something. At this rate, she would die.
Slash... After swinging the sword, and killing more zombies, she jumped backward, making more space for herself. However, the zombies immediately followed after.
"Begone, vile creatures.'' Queen Eliza spun the sword around, making circles in the air. Then, she stabbed it through the soft, and damp ground. The blade of the sword started to shine in white.
''Laaaaaaaaaa...'' An angelic voice echoed across the Moon City. The shining light enveloped half of the swamp, making the audience squint their eyes in pleasure. It felt like they were hugged by their mothers.
''Gurgh... gurgh!'' The zombies died one after another. Once the shining light touched them, their bodies got purified. Thus, they became truly dead.
Sorcerer waved his hand in panic, and teleported the rest of the zombies away. However, in that split second, half of his zombie army died.
''Haaaaaaaaa!'' A shout of Warrior Goddess echoed in the air as Queen Eliza jumped through the shining light. She hacked her sword down at Sorcerer, the blade still shining in beautiful white.
Sorcerer flicked his sleeves, and stepped out of the way. The blade effortlessly cut through the ground. However, Queen Eliza immediately pulled it out of the ground, and slashed across the air, towards the man with all-black clothing.
Sorcerer simply stepped to the right as the sword grazed right past him. His gloved hands started glowing as he stretched his hand towards Queen Eliza's beautiful face.
Queen Eliza dodged the hand with panic flashing across her eyes. She felt like she could have died if the hand touched her.
She quickly jumped back, and moved the sword into a thrusting stance. And then, she kicked the ground, and stabbed the sword forwards.
Sorcerer waved his hand, and portal made of black smoke appeared before him. A dead-looking zombie fell out of the portal, and landed in the path of the sword.
The sword drilled through the zombie, killing it. However, it's bloody corpse got stuck in the blade.
''The Deathly Hallow...'' Sorcerer jumped over the dead zombie, and again tried to touch Queen Eliza's face. However, she let go of her sword, and dodged the hand before equipping the shield, and smashing it across Sorcerer's face!
Sorcerer's figure flew across the air before he landed on the ground, seemingly unharmed. However, a trail of blue blood trickled down his nose.
Queen Eliza kicked the dead zombie away, and picked up her sword. Then, with sword in right hand, and shield in her left, she stomped the ground before lunging forward.
Sorcerer wiped the blood away, and summoned a dozen other portals. From there, a sea of zombies started swarming out, filled with bloodlust, and hunger.
''Haaaaaaaaaaaa!'' Queen Eliza shouted as she shredded through the zombies with her blade. As some of the zombies neared her, she smashed her shield into them, killing them immediately.
''World Calamity!'' Sorcerer screamed, and slammed his hand into the ground. As soon as he did, a void appeared in the ground.
Queen Eliza finished killing the zombies. However, then she saw the black void.
Then, hands started appearing. Pale, cold, emotionless hands. Some of them had scars, some had stitches, almost like they were stitched back together. However, all of them looked dead, without even shred of humanity left.
''Rise, my dead summons!''
The pale, ghoul-looking individuals jumped out of the void, and screamed with their screeching voices. The audience, and everyone in the Four Seasons, felt their skin growing cold.
However, some of the previous players that got killed by Sorcerer, felt despair, and disbelief. Some of the ghouls looked just like them!
All the ghoul-like figures were dead players!
''How inhumane!'' Artemis thought aloud while sitting in one of the viewing rooms with Khione, and Hecate.
The Gods, and Goddesses didn't look pleased. Even though Sorcerer was strong and possibly a great ally in the upcoming war, they still couldn't make themselves root for him. The ability was simply inhumane.
Alice, in the watching room, clasped her hands, hoping for Queen Eliza's victory.
''...'' Isaac sat alone in a small waiting room. It was reserved for him for unknown reasons. Without knowing it, it was actually Artemis, and Khione who gave him this room.
''Is this... Necromancer or something worse?''
''I-Impossible!'' A chubby-faced girl shouted in her house somewhere in Autumnland. One of the summons happened to be her.
She remembered dying by Sorcerer once. However, she respected his strength, and wanted to be just like him. But, after the week was up, and she was supposed to be able to play, her account didn't work.
There was a message, saying that she was online. At that moment, she thought she was hacked, and informed Legacy Company. But, they said that hacking was impossible, and there must be other reasons.
She talked about it in forums, and everyone called her a liar. However, now she understood why she couldn't log in. Because her avatar was alive somewhere in White Online. However, as a ghoul!
''G-Give my account back, please!''
