I have an Apocalypse City - Chapter 716

Chapter 716: Chapter 716: Fight to the Death

The Spartans roared for a bloody battle, which meant they were determined to fight to the death, but in the arena, only one would stand in the end, whether challenger or defender. Thus, their cries for a bloody battle had no meaning;

With a thought from Song Jian, thirty Blood Crows flew towards the Spartans, targeting a Spartan gladiator with his Vitality Points reduced by half using a control skill;

The spear that originally aimed at Song Jian suddenly weakened. Song Jian took advantage of this, controlling four longswords and launching four Flash Thunder Strikes onto the Spartan, each attack dealing over a thousand damage;

These Spartan gladiators originally had less than 8000 Vitality Points. With this round of damage, the injured gladiator was instantly killed.

“The second one!” Song Jian whispered.

After leveling up the Blood Pool Summoning Skill, these originally scouting Blood Crows had now also gained a control skill called “Enchantment”, which was difficult to guard against due to its stealthy release. However, the skill duration was very short, lasting less than two seconds and was difficult to use repeatedly on the same target. When used for the second time, the odds of being resisted would increase significantly;

However, for Song Jian, he didn’t need to keep these Spartans controlled. As long as there was a brief pause, he could deal heavy damage to them and even instantly kill some injured Spartan gladiators;

“Sparta…” A scream rang out as another Spartan gladiator was hit by a Vortex Fireball sprayed by the Black Dragon. Engulfed in scorching Dragon Breath, he couldn’t finish his last words before dying;

The remaining Spartan gladiators showed sorrowful and furious expressions. One of them fiercely thrust his spear into a Blood Wolve’s body, before unleashing a skill and launching a fierce attack. In an instant, dozens of spear phantoms relentlessly stabbed the Blood Wolf, turning it into a pool of blood;

As he excitedly raised his spear, preparing to shout, two Blood Wolves targeted him and pounced;

With the Black Dragon in the air not daring to attack, these Spartan gladiators who couldn’t fly could only desperately dodge the dragon’s assaults. However, Song Jian was surrounded by at least four gladiators, while the rest were fending off the monsters he had summoned.

Fighting with the strength of a Tier 1 elite, they could completely crush these Blood Zombies and Blood Wolves, however, the number of these creatures was several times that of the gladiators. They knew no fear and would even risk severe injuries to bite a gladiator, causing considerable trouble for those left;

Most importantly, Song Jian’s formidable attack power could not be resisted by just one or even two gladiators. Even with four gladiators attacking Song Jian simultaneously, under the powerful assault of four longswords, they could only retreat incessantly;

All the Blood Zombies were killed, only seven or eight Blood Wolves remained, and even the flying Blood Crows had been skewered to death by the gladiators with their spears;

Only the Black Dragon continued to wreak havoc, breathing fire and launching Vortex Fireballs. At level 35, the Black Dragon had learned a new skill – Meteor Fall Strike!

Meteor Fall Strike was a composite magic, dealing triple damage to the target through fire, earth, and physical impact. However, with the Black Dragon’s current strength, it could only release one meteor at a time and needed a long rest in between;

At this moment, the gladiators were glowing faintly crimson, a result of their passive skill Bloodthirsty Cruelty, which stacked their attack power based on the enemies they killed. The effect lasted a long time, up to 120 minutes;

Moreover, with each enemy slain, the duration would refresh. The more enemies the Spartans killed, the stronger they became;

The gladiator with the most stacked Bloodthirsty Cruelty was the leader, who had already gained twelve stacks and increased attack power by 120%. This effect could be infinitely stacked, and if allowed to do so, no one could withstand their attacks;

“Spear Throw!” The leading gladiator roared, and his spear drew an arc in the air, piercing a Blood Crow and causing it to explode. His Bloodthirsty Cruelty effect immediately added another stack;

Song Jian frowned, as by now the Blood Crows had all used their “Enchantment” skill on the gladiators and the chances of being resisted again were huge. The skill had lost its usefulness in battle.

Now, the Blood Crows had become tools for the remaining gladiators to stack Bloodthirsty Cruelty. With a thought from Song Jian, the remaining dozen Blood Crows turned back into blood and returned to the game’s Blood Pool;

Roar~

Two Blood Wolves tackled a gladiator to the ground, their sharp fangs fiercely piercing his throat and instantly killing him;

On the other side, a gladiator who had been constantly attacking Song Jian couldn’t take it anymore, and he roared, charging towards the two Blood Wolves. He thrust his spear into one of the wolves before lifting it up and smashing it into the other;

Even though the gladiator’s strength far surpassed that of the Blood Wolves, by facing seven or eight of them at once, they showed no fear. The cunning wolves didn’t fight gladiators in good condition. Instead, they continuously moved around, targeting the severely injured ones;

The number of Blood Wolves was also dwindling, and by the time Song Jian killed another gladiator, all of the Blood Wolves in the arena had been wiped out as well.

At this point, apart from Song Jian and the Black Dragon above him, there were only five Spartan gladiators left. Though among these five, besides the leader who still maintained over 60% Vitality Points, the other four were all severely injured, with scars and wounds all over their bodies;

However, the momentum of these gladiators remained strong, giving off the impression that they could fight against a hundred enemies despite being only five in number; The remaining gladiators were all covered in a strong Red Glow, with at least ten stacks of Bloodthirsty Cruelty on each, while the leader had already gained eighteen stacks;

“Sparta!” Two gladiators shouted, holding their spears and initiating an attack on Song Jian;

At this moment, the Black Dragon in the sky suddenly launched a Meteor Fall Strike towards the two of them. A flaming meteor, the size of a grinding stone, appeared out of thin air in mid-air and fiercely crashed down;

Boom!

The two Spartan gladiators were directly sent flying, with their already low Vitality Points hit hard by this attack, bringing them to the brink of death;

At this moment, the leading Spartan gladiator suddenly roared, rushing towards the two injured gladiators, and viciously thrust his spear into their throats, finishing their last sliver of Vitality Points;
