Apocalypse Gachapon - Chapter 1032: Part of the price

Along with the Saintess’s orders, the entire Posthumous People army started to make a move.

The most obvious were the air troops that sped up. They instantly passed the ground troops.

The troops on the walls raised their heads and looked at the flying demon monsters which were like a black cloud. Many people raised their weapons. But after realizing that there was a barrier, they lowered their weapons.

But this action caused the leaders around to scold them.

They knew that the barriers could only defend against ranged attacks. If these flying demon monsters charged to fight them up close, the barrier wouldn’t be helpful.

A bunch of demon monsters that charged at the front, which weren’t too huge but were extremely quick, suddenly stopped. They shook, and their feathers, like needles, dropped, turning into feather arrows that fired at them.

Instantly, many arrows fell on the barrier, causing specks of light. Although it wasn’t as eye-catching as when it stopped the Power of the Gods, these starlight specks covered their eyes.

Many people squinted.

For some reason, Ye Zhongming had a bad feeling when he saw the specks of light.

He didn’t know where it came from, but he felt surprised that Saint Light Hall had started with such a method.

To him, it was better if they used the Power of the Gods.

But he knew why immediately. Before the specks dissipated, there were explosions. Ye Zhongming squinted and saw shadows descending from the sky and knocking on the barrier. Large amounts of liquid splattered.

Those were black patches of blood.

But where did the explosions come from?

Until now, Ye Zhongming and the others didn’t know.

Ye Zhongming had the best vision of everyone. He roughly saw that the shadows that descended were those flying demon monsters that had fired those feathers.

He looked around, and his heart sank.

He saw a problem. You might be able to explain the situation as those flying demon monsters losing their flying ability after they lose their feathers. But why was it so spread out…

Right, spread out. These demon monsters fell onto the barrier evenly.

They covered the entire city wall.

In the next second, explosions could be heard again. Ye Zhongming found the source and tilted his head. He saw that they came from Saint Light Hall’s formation.

He saw some red things. They were from the white braided demon monster’s mouth. When that thing was spat, it would make a sound similar to an explosion.

Ye Zhongming looked at the blood on the barrier, and his expression changed.

“Stop those things!”

He shouted and attacked with his purple weapon. A long silver moonlight sliced and extinguished the few balls of flames that were closest to the barrier.

But even if he noticed the problem, it didn’t mean everyone had such an outstanding vision as him. Even the few kings didn’t understand what was happening.

As for ordinary warriors, apart from seeing some light, they didn’t see anything else.

Although Ye Zhongming reacted, he was still slightly slower.

Those demon monsters spat out too many things. Two waves of attacks and hundreds of red balls hit the barrier.

The intense flames started to burn.

Everything happened in an instant. Only a few seconds passed since the feather rain landed and the flames burnt. Apart from Ye Zhongming, who reacted, only a few Cloud Peak warriors attacked.

Although some attacked, they weren’t very accurate, and they weren’t useful.

Notification that the pearl’s energy was decreasing swiftly appeared in Ye Zhongming’s mind!

The Saint Light Hall actually found a way to break the barrier in those few days!

Ye Zhongming finally knew why they didn’t use the Power of the Gods immediately. They wanted to break the barrier first!

This ancient faction was really strong.

Ye Zhongming estimated the energy usage and knew that he still had some time. Apart from using fire element skills against the fire attacks, the next best was the water element.

This was the only solution he could think of- neutralizing energy!

To use water or any other element to fight against the flame energy on the barrier.

Many skills flew into the sky—especially water element skills which helped to extinguish the flames.

The pearl’s energy reduction reduced and stopped at 15%.

The flames directly consumed half of the barrier’s energy.

The barrier turned translucent again, but it was slightly dimmer.

But before they could heave a sigh of relief, Saint Light Hall’s second wave arrived.

Another group of demon monsters used the flame’s cover to fly above the walls. When everyone saw them, they had already tossed giant pieces of stones that their claws had grabbed. There were a few thousand of them.

The ranged attacks on the walls followed. Skills and arrows with energy flew toward the stone pieces.

Both sides clashed, and an explosion occurred.

Stone shrapnel landed and hit the barrier, giving out a ringing sound. They were small, so the shrapnel wasn’t as powerful. The attack seemed like it was dissolved, but the expressions of the higher-ups weren’t good. Hong Xiang pointed at those flying monsters and ordered the weapons to fire at them.

Right, it seemed like they succeeded, but one must know that they had used energy and skills. There was a cooldown time, and arrows were gone when you used them. But stone? Those were endless. If they defended this time, there might be a next time. So the best way would be to kill these flying monsters. If not, no matter if there was a barrier, the Imperial City would suffer from air strikes.

The crossbows aimed up, and some crystal cannons were shifted too. Instantly, the flying demon monsters who weren’t as quick were hit. After many shots, only ⅔ of them managed to get out of the firing range.

This caused those on the walls to heave a sigh of relief.

But the Saintess had descended on the ground and stood with the three heads.

“They fell for it!” Rongzhi’s face turned red, and he clapped.

Nan Jin looked at the corpses and said slowly, “Too many lives were lost.”

The Saintess smiled; her face still had a pure light. She used her symbolic gentle voice, “We have to pay a price for everything. They are just part of the price.”
