Chapter 2094 My Buddha Jumps Over The Wall… Did I Drop It?
Irina, who thought she was going to die for sure, had a light shield surrounding her, which blocked the splashing green liquid. She was still in a daze.
“It’s Xi!” Mag’s eyes lit up. Seeing that Irina was unscathed, he was relieved. He waved his hand, and the longsword returned to his hand.
This was the first time he had heard such a wonderful gunshot’s sound in this world.
The shot was clean and precise, matching the feeling that Xi gave him.
A star-shaped battleship appeared in the void. The giant main electromagnetic gun aimed at Cthulhu and rapidly recharged. Its three main cannons also aimed at Cthulhu. “What’s that?!” Noah slowly stood up, and stared at the super iron battleship hovering in midair with disbelief.
Merante also gulped, and softly said, “No matter what it is, the good news if it’s on our side.”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The giant cannons roared!
The giant bullet fired by the electromagnetic gun clashed with Cthulhu, who was hovering in midair, and sent his huge body backwards before exploding.
The terrifying explosive waves turned all the ancient corpses within a few hundred meters’ radius into dust.
The purple-striped griffin had long turned and flew outwards, but it was still blown thousands of meters away by the explosion’s aftermath.
“What a terrifying force. This giant iron beast’s so terrifying!” Noah stared blankly at it.
Mag also backed off with his sword. This was the intense bombing by an advanced civilization’s starship. He didn’t want to get caught up in it.
A round of bombing was completed within seconds.
Cthulhu, who looked like a small mountain, was pushed thousands of meters back by the bombing, and its body was charred. Its bat wings also had many holes.
Meanwhile, the ancient corpses within 1000 meters’ distance were reduced to charred bones.
“O ka ga ki gi…”
Cthulhu let out an indecipherable roar. It made the ancient corpses launch another attack on the starship and Mag. Tens of thousands of ancient corpses rushed towards them. They almost stacked together. Meanwhile, Cthulhu also flapped its wings and took to the air. The holes on its wings repaired themselves rapidly, and the wings were soon as good as new. It flew towards the battleship too.
“Hop on. We can’t kill it. Let’s leave here first.” Xi’s icy cold voice sounded next to Mag’s ears, and the ship’s cabin deployed a passageway.
“Ah Zi, enter through that passageway!” Mag leaped onto the purple-striped griffin that flew next to him. They then flew close to Irina, and Mag grabbed her waist. They darted straight into the star-shaped battleship.
The electromagnetic gun at the front of the ship that had finished recharging fired another shot. At the same time, a few cluster bombs were dropped. With the electromagnetic gun’s recoil, they got away from Cthulhu. A rip was created in space, and they left.
Mag looked at the mushroom cloud that rose up in the plain as they retreated rapidly, and heaved a breath of relief. He felt he had just escaped from death.
“It’s so terrifying…” Noah slumped onto the ground. He was soaked with sweat as though he was exhausted.
What was precious was that the earthen jar that held the Buddha jumps over the wall in his arms actually stayed intact.
Merante panted loudly. Although he had experienced life and death many times in his life, he didn’t want to die in Cthulhu’s hands no matter how. He didn’t want his corpse to end up in its possession.
Only then did he realize his naivety. He had actually tried to find Cthulhu and kill it for the past hundreds of years.
Irina approached Mag, grabbed his hand, and concernedly asked, “Are you alright?” “I’m fine. It’s just a small injury.” Mag shook his head. He looked at the wound on his arm that was slashed open by Rankster’s spear.
“What’s this?” Irina asked as she used healing magic on Mag.
It was a spacious room with iron walls. Only the out-facing sides were transparent glass.
“She saved us,” Mag said.
Irina was thoughtful, but she kept quiet. Right then, the door at the side opened, and a woman in a white tight bodysuit walked out from the control bay.
Noah and Merante turned and looked at her with shock before descending into unconsciousness immediately.
“I will erase their memories,” Xi said to Mag, and then her gaze landed on Irina.
“This is my wife. She’s someone who should know about this, and she can keep a secret.” Mag introduced Irina.
“Thank you for saving me.” Irina thanked Xi.
If Xi hadn’t appeared earlier, Cthulhu’s tentacle would have pierced her heart.
Xi nodded slightly and retracted her hand. “Cthulhu has controlled many ancient corpses. I’m afraid this ice plain will become the source of his army. The countless ancient corpses are going to bring a catastrophe to the Norland Continent,” Mag told Xi with a grave expression, and then asked, “Perhaps, the Elder Things has a solution to kill it?” “Cthulhu won’t die and can’t be destroyed. We can only reseal it. Even the Elder Things cannot kill it.” Xi shook her head.
Mag felt dread. Xi and the Elder Things’ advanced battleship were still unable to kill Cthulhu. This wasn’t good news.
It wasn’t easy if they could only reseal it. “The Elder Things made a promise before. They cannot enter the Norland Continent en masse. You have to depend on yourselves to defend against Cthulhu and the zombie horde that it controls.” Xi shook her head. “Are you for real?” Mag raised his eyebrows. The individual strength of the ancient corpses couldn’t be underestimated. They were estimated to have kept about 60% of their power from when they were alive. Moreover, they were unafraid of death under Cthulhu’s control. They were the perfect loyal soldiers. The group were not sure how many ancient corpses were controlled by Cthulhu. If there were millions of them, even the entire Roth Empire couldn’t stop them from moving southwards.
“Stopping the ancient corpse army is the crux, but only killing Cthulhu or resealing it can solve the root of the problem,” Irina lamented. “Furthermore, although we didn’t see Josh today, what happened today seemed to be his arrangement.”
Xi nodded. “Cthulhu was cut in two when it was sealed back then. Its head was sealed at the central seal point, while its lower half was sealed under Sky Isle. “Its head is even better at mind control. These ancient corpses aren’t controlled by its lower body. They might be indirectly controlled by the puppet that had entered the head’s control.”
“We missed it today. It won’t be easy to find it again in this vast snow field.” Mag frowned.
“I have placed a tracking device on it. I can locate its position.” Xi raised up a virtual screen, and a red dot was moving quickly on it.
“But the problem now isn’t finding it, but how to reseal it and find the ‘head’ that is controlling the ancient corpses.” Mag looked at Xi’s virtual screen and nodded. “As long as we can locate him, we can resolve it with the seal spell formation. We can also think of a solution to reseal it.
“However, the most important thing is to unify all the races and quickly establish an alliance to defend against the zombies and prevent them from moving southwards.”
The advanced civilization was undependable. They could depend on themselves to rescue the Norland Continent.
The star-shaped battleship stopped 800 km away from Rodu.
Xi erased part of Noah’s and Merante’s memories by hypnotism before letting them leave with Mag. “Don’t come over!” Noah suddenly jumped up on the griffin’s back, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.
He looked around and met Mag’s eyes. Mag was squatting next to him. Then, he snapped his head around and saw Merante, who was slowly waking up. He finally heaved a sigh of relief.
“Wh-what’s going on?” Merante also sat up and slapped his groggy head. They had met Cthulhu in the snow plain earlier, and were in a dire situation. He was suddenly attacked and knocked out just as he was about to be swallowed.
“Our luck was not bad. We escaped.” Mag tossed two water bottles to them. “But it isn’t too good, either. Cthulhu has controlled the ancient corpses in the snow field. Its power has grown exponentially. They may invade the south at any time. We have to establish a resistance alliance before it acts.”
Noah tilted his head back and gulped down half of the bottle’s water. He looked at his hands, and then looked around at a loss before saying, “My Buddha jumps over the wall… Did I drop it?!
