As the attackers led by a dark one in golden colored armor approached the human warriors, the five warriors spread out their formation. The five of them had fought many wars together, and had drilled the formations and team attacks so many times that it had become a part of their muscle memories.
"Number two and three, stop that big a*s bug, NOW!"
"Roger!"
Warrior number two and three charged towards the giant Zerg; they were surprised by its agility despite its lumbering weight.
Lieutenant Kun was confident that two of the level twenty METAL warriors should be enough to fend off that giant bug. These types of giant Zergs were not bred to dish out damage; they filled the role of a tank in the Zergs' army composition. Kun Caiyi conceded that their real threat was the dark one in the golden armor.
Seeing Kun Caiyi getting closer, the dark one let out an ear piercing shriek. Kun Caiyi didn't waver, and jabbed at the dark one with his spear, which landed squarely.
The public cheered after seeing Kun Caiyi's attack landing. The first Zerg attack had killed hundreds of innocent people, and the second attack was worse. However, Lieutenant Kun was ordered to stay put during both battles. Their champion had finally risen to the Zergs' brutality, which gave the citizens much-needed hope and encouragement.
"Kom!"
Despite the supposedly legendary power in Kun Caiyi's spear techniques, he staggered back a few feet after the impact. He was forced back by a sharp bone that suddenly protruded out of the dark one's armor. The move a resemblance to that of a mastery spell. The dark one's power not only came from the energy crystal on his METAL, but also from within his body. Although the dark ones were not able to use the natural force directly as the humans could, this particular dark one was somehow able to convert the natural force into his own and release it through his armor.
Kun Caiyi could tell that this dark one had reached at least level twenty one. Although he was only one level below the dark one, the gap in their power could be huge.
The other two soldiers quickly closed in onto the dark one and attacked him from both sides. However, the dark one was able to stand his ground with ease, despite the barrage of deadly attacks.
The dark ones were not well known for complicated moves, as their attack relied only on speed and strength. Occasionally, the dark ones would copy the humans' moves.
While his guards kept the dark one busy, Kun Caiyi had charged up his soul energy and was ready to unleash his coup de grace - Ice Drill!
This was one of the authentic Templar moves that survived the war. Although Kun Caiyi had not yet reached the legendary level, he had learned to harness the cold element through this spear technique.
The other two soldiers didn't back away; instead, they increased the frequency and vigor of their attacks, trying to overwhelm the dark one while Kun Caiyi readied his attack. Sensing the human fighters' intention, the dark one cranked up his strength in order to get out of harm's way. As he poured out his GN force, bone-like protrusions speared out of his armor and pierced through the flesh of both human soldiers. However, the two soldiers didn't flinch, as they swallowed down their pain and doubled down on their attacks.
"KOM!"
The Ice drill was only inches away from the dark one, and it was too late for him to dodge. So seamless was the teamwork among the human soldiers that the timing of the attack was perfect.
But, just as everyone thought that the dark one was done for, bones in his ugly head shifted, and he opened his mouth, letting out a sharp bone towards Kun Caiyi.
Kun Caiyi hadn't let his guard down, so he reacted quickly and shifted his body to the side. The bone wheezed pass his scalp; it was a near escape.
"KOM!"
Only with the slightest hesitation, Kun Caiyi carried on his attack and drove the tip of the spear deep into the dark one's chest. At the other end of the field, the two other soldiers had successfully lured the giant Zerg into a Mastery caster's ambush, and by then, the giant Zerg caught on fire and was rolling on the ground in agony.
Sensing the promise of victory, the citizens rushed to the streets and started celebrating.
But, the dark one quickly taught them a lesson: never celebrate too early.
"Zenn, Zenn."
Two bone shards pierced the chest of the two warriors, and the dark one reappeared amidst the smoke. His golden armor shimmered under the sunlight, casting a golden hue against the screen of black smoke behind him.
Immediately, the dark one hurled another two bone spears at the two soldiers who were finishing off the giant Zerg. The two human warriors dodged. Still ablaze, the giant Zerg took off and flew to the sky like a rising fireball.
The turn of events caught all the mastery casters off guard. Was their spell ineffective against the Zerg?
The dark one landed on the back of the giant Zerg, and the fire extinguished suddenly, leaving only a thin layer of charred crust on the large bug's shell.
"For f*ck's sake, they evolved again! Now, our fire spell is useless!" Kun Caiyi shouted.
"Evacuate the city! "
"Lieutenant, I will protect you!"
"NOOO! QUICKLY! GET TO THE CHOPPER! NOW!" Kun Caiyi shouted.
Kun Caiyi knew that the Zerg's target was him, and therefore, he could easily attract his attention and save some precious time for the citizens.
Elbert started to order the soldiers to evacuate, but no one wanted to leave their Lieutenant alone to face the Zergs.
"Let's kill them! Save our lieutenant!" Some soldiers shouted.
As Kun Caiyi struggled to fend off the Zerg, he could feel energy draining away from him; he knew he couldn't last for very long.
In a few seconds, he was dealt a blow in the belly. The Zerg cut through his armor and into his flesh. The blow staggered Kun Caiyi, and from the corner of his eyes, he saw a tail sweeping towards him.
"KOM!"
Kun Caiyi felt that he was hit by a semi-truck. The blow sent his body flying until he hit a skyscraper a few blocks away.
The mastery casters hurled fireballs at the giant Zerg and the dark one, but their attack couldn't even make a scratch on the two.
The dark one didn't spare any attention to the mastery casters. Instead, he went straight for Kun Caiyi.
Kun Caiyi picked himself up from a pile of rubble and gathered himself, but was struck by another bone shard right away, the pain making him drop to one of his knees.
In the streets, children cried in their mothers' tight embrace as fire licked the tattered pavement, melting the tarmac right before their eyes.
The soldiers on the ground froze in action as they watched their leader subdued by the Zerg. In the air, the dark one let out a shriek that could pass for a laugh.
"Mom, there's an Einherjar!" A child shouted out at his mother.
The mother looked up at the smoke ridden sky and saw nothing. However, she heard many people gasp around her. She narrowed her eyes and finally found a golden speck in between the fingers of the black smoke.
"Einherjar!" She gasped.
"He is coming to save us!"
"We are saved!"
The dark on also noticed the approaching human in the Einherjar METAL. He shot a piece of bone shard at him. But, the Einherjar waved his hand gently and deflected the it with ease. His movement carried a certain measure of levity.
The dark one's eyes glinted as he realized that this human was much more powerful than the keeper of the city.
The giant Zerg charged towards the Einherjar and attacked him with its claw.
"KOM."
The Einherjar blocked the giant claw with one hand. Before the citizens realized what was going on, they heard the giant Zerg's painful howling. The Einherjar had twisted the claw off, jabbed it into the Zerg's underbelly, and pinned it onto the side of a skyscraper.
The dark one didn't seem to mourn over his companion's brutal death. The fire in his eyes burned even brighter, and a bone spear appeared in his hand out of nowhere. He was about to unleash a powerful attack, which looked like the Ice Drill used by Kun Caiyi.
Lieutenant Kun's face was knotted after seeing that his ability was copied by the dark one.
The dark one's golden armor pulsed with light as it pumped energy into the bone spear. The bone spear was part of the dark one's body, and therefore, the transfer of the energy was effortless.
Everyone looked up in the sky, watching the showdown with new found determination. This time, they would not choose to run away and let the Zergs lay waste to their city. This time, they chose to stand with their hero.
"Kommm!"
The dark one charged the bone spear at Wang Tong; he was able to pack more energy into the spear than Kun Caiyi would.
Wang Tong moved gently and caught the tip of the spear with his fingers employing a graceful finality. The dark one let out a cold gasp: the human was much stronger than he thought.
"Whoever defiles the human race… will die! "
Wang Tong pushed the spear tip and drove the other end of the spear into the chest of the dark one. Before long, two Zerg bodies, one small and one big, were pinned together on the same skyscraper.
"Victory!"
"Long live the human race! Long live the Einherjar!"
When the citizens finally realized that both Zergs were killed, they shouted out into the sky, where the Einherjar was already nowhere to be seen.
The little boy tugged his mother's hand and shouted: "Mom! I want to be an Einherjar when I grow up!"
Although the Einherjar had left the fight scene as soon as the battle was over, he had left a strong message for the Zergs.
The victory at Einstein City quickly spread throughout the internet. The image of the two powerful Zergs being skewered and pinned onto a skyscraper ignited human soldiers' spirits. The morale of the human forces was improved significantly.
The defeat of one or two high-level Zergs might seem trivial in the large scheme of things, but it had encouraged the entire human race to look forward and fight for their freedom.
The words of the mysterious Einherjar at the end of the battle struck a chord with everyone. "Whoever defiles the human race… will die! "
