Apocalypse Gachapon-Chapter 1408: Simple and direct

But the six saints didn’t think so. They saw that Damov not only did not lose color but also became more bloodthirsty and ferocious.

He swept his two paws, and eight claw shadows swept the trigram. This represented an end of this round of attacks.

Be it the space or the people watching before the veil, they were silent. This silence was then broken by Che Dongzhi’s sad and furious cry of “No!”

Damov landed on the ground with a loud crash.

The six Saints also landed on the ground. Their limbs were broken in many places. The energy snake was gone, and it was broken by the claw.

Che Dongzhi’s eyes were flushed red. The six saints he had spent so much effort to nurture were killed just like that.

The trigram formation disk was a one-time-use piece of equipment that was purple! Che Dongzhi didn’t tell anyone about this before.

This was a rule and a common consensus: One-time-use equipment was stronger than other equipment of the same color.

One could see how precious this formation disk was.

But it disappeared along with the six saints.

Che Dongzhi had lost his strongest attack and the right-hand men he had relied most on.

Without their help, his Nether God Python was just a support battle beast. Its use would be greatly reduced. In the past, as long as they chose a target, the Ming City Protector Squad could kill a level eight lifeform easily. But after today, it would be a dangerous task.

At a time when Che Dongzhi badly needed level eight demon crystals, this meant his path to eight-star evolved would be delayed.

This might also mean the Ming City Protector Squad and Che Dongzhi would disappear from the country's rankings.

This evolved that had been famous for a long time took out dozens of glass-like shards from his storage space and scattered them. They landed around and, after landing, formed a glass vortex. Although it didn’t completely surround Che Dongzhi and his python, if you wanted to get close, you needed to charge through the vortex with unknown ability or wrap around.

Between the gap of the spinning shards, the python spat out many energy snakes.

Compared to the few before, these were smaller and multi-colored. There were even snakes that were two or even three colors. They raised their bodies and hissed.

Che Dongzhi pulled out an exquisite short bow that shone blue.

The moment his strongest subordinates were killed, the Ming City Protector Squad boss chose to defend!

But no one laughed at him. That included the people before the veil that had hoped for his defeat.

This was because everyone could see that Che Dongzhi himself wasn’t an evolved with a particularly powerful job or bloodline. However, he had the Nether Gold Python, a battle beast with strong support abilities, and he had nurtured the Six Sword Immortals, a combination with formidable offensive power.

He was a leader with great vision, one who emphasized coordination and collective strength in battle.

His past achievements had proven him right. He had brought the Ming City Protector Squad into the country rankings, making it a top-tier large-scale faction, second only to a few superpowers, and a dominant force in its region.

But now, with the Six Sword Immortals killed and his sharp blade lost, all he could do was defend.

Damov stood up, covered in wounds but clearly still capable of fighting.

The defensive equipment of the Six Sword Immortals was actually quite good. Che Dongzhi had naturally invested more than just the Eight Trigrams formation disk in them. All six wore green-grade defensive gear, but they were as fragile as paper in the face of Damov's swiping claws.

Even though, up to this point, the bear-man hadn’t displayed a wide range of abilities, the few he had shown—his intermediate bloodline, metal defense, and claw strikes—were enough to prove his ability to both tank and deal damage.

At this point, Che Dongzhi's choice to defend, hoping to wear down the severely injured bear over time, was the most correct decision.

Damov was breathing heavily and clearly not in good shape. He looked at his fully alert opponent, who was not far away, and a ferocious smile spread across his bear-like face.

He lowered his body and began charging once more.

Everyone knew that the decisive moment had arrived.

An energy arrow fired from Che Dongzhi's short bow struck Damov's body, causing him to shudder violently, but he didn’t stop.

"Is he... going to charge through those glass vortexes? In his condition..."

Someone watching the light screen murmured.

This was the question in everyone’s mind.

The vortex and snakes didn’t look easy to deal with.

But Damov charged. He was before the vortex when the second energy arrow entered his body.

Sharp glass spikes of varying lengths suddenly shot out from within, piercing Damov's abdomen.

He paused for a moment but didn’t stop.

Che Dongzhi was panicked. His third shot missed Damov entirely.

The small snakes began attacking the bear as he entered their range. The melee snakes were ineffective, but the ranged ones unleashed vines, freezing mist, rising stone barriers, and surging fire walls...

All of these landed on Damov's body, but he still didn’t stop... even as strips of flesh were torn or scraped away.

He passed through two more glass vortexes, and the path he had taken was stained entirely red with blood.

"No, no, get away, get away!"

Che Dongzhi kept firing arrows, but his accuracy was getting worse, even though Damov was now very close.

The Nether Gold Python had already done all it could. Summoning the energy snakes was extremely taxing, but it still had to stop this killing machine. It rushed out without hesitation, placing itself between Damov and its master.

Claws swept, and this famous battle beast on the national rankings, was torn to pieces.

The severely wounded Damov finally reached Che Dongzhi. He could no longer maintain his bloodline transformation and reverted to his human form. Not a single inch of his skin was intact, and several of his wounds were already fatal. His abdomen, in particular, had been turned into a mangled mess with his intestines spilling out.

But he was alive. He was vicious and also quick.

He charged before the Ming City Protector Squad boss and grabbed his neck.

The gap between eight and seven stars was still too big, even if the eight-star evolved was badly injured…

“If I could find the eight people that met the requirements… If I could get to eight-stars…”

This was Che Dongzhi’s final thoughts.
