Chapter 169: Final Battle Of Crimson City (Part-1)

The fifth-rank zombie’s roars grew frantic as panic gripped it. Sensing the horrific reality, it thrashed wildly, trying to break free from the Chimera’s grip, but every effort was futile. Its once-great strength was vanishing, drained by the relentless power of the Human Chimera, while the creature’s own aura swelled with every passing second.

Boom!

Just as the zombie’s remaining strength was almost entirely devoured, a powerful surge erupted from the Chimera. It broke through, its body growing taller, more imposing.

The air around it pulsed with a terrifying aura—soul-sucking, saturated with bloodlust, and the overwhelming essence of death and slaughter. The Chimera had evolved, becoming even more menacing and dangerous.

It finally became a fifth rank, becoming strong to rival saints. With its regenerative abilities, it would be stronger and more troublesome than most saint-rank warriors, even better than the fifth-rank zombie who was being devoured right now.

"No... I gave up everything; I cannot lose." The zombie murmured his last words in a low voice as it crumbled slowly, leaving nothing.

Apollo’s domain also disappeared, and in the sky, only Apollo and Human Chimera, his new bloody, fierce aura, remained. The soldiers and others watching in the sky first were a bit shocked, but they quickly understood that a fifth-rank zombie was dead and burst into excitement.

"Yeah, we are safe, we are safe!"

The shout of relief echoed through the battlefield as soldiers, reinvigorated by the sudden shift in momentum, rallied together.

"Come quickly, push back these remaining weak hordes of zombies!" one of the commanders called out, spurring the exhausted warriors into action.

With renewed vigour, the soldiers fought back; their spirits reignited. They swiftly destroyed the remaining horde of beasts, their earlier fatigue seemingly forgotten in the face of victory. Meanwhile, Alyona, unnoticed by most, quietly and efficiently dealt with the last three fourth-rank zombies.

Meanwhile, Pussy King sat calmly on the rooftop of a house, gazing into the distance as if watching something interesting.

Apollo, on the other hand, was focused in a different direction, sensing that the battle was far from over. The other three sides of the city were still locked in fierce combat, with powerful auras radiating from each clash. Every attack sent tremors through the land and sky, making the air tense.

The fiercest of these auras was emanating from the eastern side, where two formidable forces clashed, their power seemingly surpassing even the saint rank. Apollo’s expression became grave, realizing the gravity of the situation. This battle could determine the fate of Crimson City.

Apollo’s gaze seemed to pierce through the dark, eerie death aura and space, locking onto the battle between two titanic figures. One was the City Lord, Rex, whom Apollo recognized, his aura blazing with authority and mysterious power.

The other, although almost appearing human, unmistakably radiated the same weird deadly aura as the zombies. This opponent was clearly a fifth-rank zombie as well, but there was something more—its strength seemed exponentially greater than the one Apollo had just defeated.

The strength of both fighters was so immense that the space around them shattered like glass. Every movement and attack seemed to reach the deeper layers of space, and their speed was so great that the world couldn’t repair itself fast enough.

Because of this, the space around them was torn and filled with destructive energy. Anyone below the Saint-level couldn’t even come close to their battlefield, as they might die by falling into the broken space around them.

He also saw the battle between Kaleb and another fifth-rank zombie whose strength was similar to the one he defeated.

They both were fighting fiercely, but it seemed difficult to tell who would win as they seemed to have similar strengths, with neither side being able to overpower the other.

As for the other two sides, their battle was also intense. The trialists that came with him were showing some decent strength, especially the people brought by Kaleb; they were quite good.

Whether it was Asa, Aiden, or Lyra, all three were exceptionally strong among the fourth-rank grandmasters and able to hold their side of the battle.

Compared to them, the three Grandmaster trialists from the gathering were weaker. Their strength was decent but not outstanding, and they were struggling the most. Even with the support of other Grandmasters from the city, they could barely hold their own against the fifth-rank zombie, which was the weakest among all the fifth-rank zombies that had appeared.

Apollo clenched his sword, the Frost Star gleaming cold in his grip. He needed to act swiftly, or the entire city might fall. He cannot let the west side fall.

He stepped forward, commanding the Chimera with a wave of his hand.

"Go," he ordered. "Help the west side subdue their enemies."

The Chimera obeyed without hesitation, its enormous form hurtling through the battlefield toward the west side battlefield.

Now that the chimera has already reached the fifth rank, it can take care of the weakest fifth-rank zombie on the west side, and after devouring it, it should also become stronger and bring much help later.

With the Chimera headed to assist, Apollo’s focus turned back to the eastern front, where City Lord Rex and the fifth-rank death zombie were locked in combat. At the same time, he brought the Book of Death out and went outside the light barrier. Its dark, ancient pages seemed to pulse with an otherworldly energy.

Apollo’s fingers traced the edges of the book as he whispered to himself, "Time to test its true limits." And with those countless weird death auras outside that covered the vast death desert, it started to be swallowed by it.

In addition to them, two other Saint-level battles were happening on the eastern side. One involved Kaleb, and the other featured the man who had previously used the Law of Gravity, who turned out to be a saint and was quite strong. He didn’t seem to be losing to the fifth-rank zombie either.

He controlled the gravity domain, forcing the zombie to the ground, where it was continuously suppressed. Given the current situation, it was only a matter of time before he won, though it could have been quicker if the opponent wasn’t the zombie who had such a strong and tenacious body.

Kaleb, on the other hand, was a bit different. Shockingly, his life force was an extremely rare poison life force, which was completely unlike most mutated life forces. In most cases, mutated life forces are based on the Five Elements or their rarer derivatives, like Apollo’s ice or lightning life force.

The poison life force was entirely different. It’s a rare occurrence, and in the history of Rion, there have been very few poison warriors. Most people with poisonous life force die at a young age due to the toxicity of their own life force.

"His life energy was purplish and had terrifying poisonous properties. A single drop of it could corrode a kilometre-wide area of land, turning it into a poisonous wasteland filled with toxic gas that could kill anyone below the third rank just by breathing it in.

Because of this, poison life force users are considered highly dangerous, as most living organisms wouldn’t dare come into contact with them, fearing the risk of being poisoned, no matter how strong or careful they were.

However, now Kaleb was facing a zombie, a technically dead being. While his poison still had some effect, it wasn’t as significant since zombies don’t feel pain, making it less useful for Kaleb in this battle.

He clapped his hands, and waves of poison surged like a tsunami, enveloping the zombie as if it were being burned by the strongest acids.

Bang!

In response, the zombie erupted into flames, its eerie death aura fusing with a burning inferno that devoured the poison waves with its overwhelming power.

’Fire Domain — Burning Purgatory.’

’Poison Domain — Leviathan’s Anger.’

Both of them had finally unleashed their domains, using their most powerful skills to bring out their strongest attacks and annihilate the enemy.

The sky and earth trembled under the weight of their confrontation, as Rex’s poison sought to dissolve everything in its path while the zombie’s flames sought to incinerate all life.

Boom!

Both domains and attacks collided, and for a brief moment, it appeared as if they were evenly matched. However, that illusion quickly shattered. The Poison Domain and the sheer might of Rex’s powerful ancient skill Leviathan’s Anger surged forward with unstoppable force.

A massive serpent made entirely of venomous energy coiled around the zombie, its scales glistening with lethal poison. The once-formidable fifth-rank zombie’s body, despite its strength, began to disintegrate under the serpent’s crushing power. Its death aura was smothered as its body was destroyed, leaving behind only the remnants of what had once been a terrifying threat.

On the other side, the saint with the gravity domain also ended his battle as he finally crushed the other saint using his special skill of gravity domain.

Similarly, the situation on the other side seemed to be under control. The southern side was held by Kaleb’s friends with the help of the Crimson City Grandmasters. Meanwhile, the west side situation was brought under control as the Chimera arrived to save the day, suppressing the fifth-rank zombie.
