Apocalypse Gachapon
Chapter 1047: Who says a shield can't kill

This bloodline from the Ocean King Wheel has belonged to Shengyuan since the start.

As a continuous bloodline, the Intermediate Mountain Roar could greatly increase his stats, especially strength, defense, and regeneration. The extent of the increase was shocking.

For a defense user, this was the most suitable bloodline.

In the mutated lifeform siege, Shengyuan was the top protector, and he was at the front most of the time. However, his injuries were less severe than others. Moreover, his recovery was surprisingly quick, and he fully recovered in two days.

After activating the bloodline, Shengyuan’s body quality was comparable to that of Ye Zhongming.

Giant Shielder, along with Intermediate Mountain Roar, was a perfect match.

With the bloodline activation, Shengyuan raised his shield, and a row of orderly shield shadows appeared before him. Not only did he protect Park Xiuying, but he even protected half of the temporary hospital.

Feather Warrior Squad’s cavaliers tossed their spears and then the fist-sized metal pieces hanging on the spirit eagles’ bodies. Using the height and momentum, the metal pieces were as much of a threat as the other weapons.

Hitting sounds continued. When they hit Shengyuan’s shield shadows, these attacks made giant sounds, but none could break through the defenses.

At the same time, hundreds of Cloud Peak soldiers appeared beside Shengyuan. They aimed their crystal weapons at the air cavaliers who were focusing on Shengyuan. Dozens of enemies fell from the spirit eagles.

The Feather Warrior Squad’s formation started to scatter. They split into groups of two hundred to charge at Cloud Peak’s ranged squad.

“Others, cross. Leave this beast to me!”

As the leader of this squad, Zhong Ao gave his order. He wanted to fight Shengyuan by himself and let his other subordinates attack that strong healer.

The air cavaliers who were on the way raised their height and crossed Shengyuan’s shield shadows to charge at Park Xiuying, who was at the back.

Shengyuan stood there and didn’t move. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to but because his bloodline had a weakness. It wasn’t good at quick movement.

He could dash, but his speed would slow, and he wouldn’t be able to catch up to the air cavaliers.

Moreover, the person who charged toward Shengyuan obviously wanted to keep him here. If he didn’t break free from him or kill him, Shengyuan wouldn’t have a chance to support the others.

Zhong Ao rode his mount and placed his spear on the neck of the spirit eagle. They dove down. The spear’s tip lit up and grew brighter. The spirit eagle gave out a high cry, and the spear smashed into Shengyuan’s shield.

Both sides clashed, and there were low banging sounds. An energy wave spread in all directions and blew dust up.

The shield shadow disappeared in this clash. Zhong Ao’s spear also turned into a U-shape and was totally destroyed.

Zhong Ao tossed the spear aside and took two swords from the sides of the mount. The spirit eagle used the mobility when it was forced back to circle and charge back with its Master. The two swords sliced toward Shengyuan, who took two steps back to stabilize.

The Feather Warrior Squad’s captain saw clearly that this person with a shield didn’t have a weapon. That meant that he could attack relentlessly.

His swords hit the shields, and they gave off loud sounds. Shengyuan stepped back, and Zhong Ao surged from the sky to slice down.

Once… Twice… Three times… Five…

This captain circled Shengyuan to slice. He was confident in his swords, which the Saint Father had given him. Even if they weren’t as good as the blue shield, they wouldn’t be too weak. With his battle skills, Zhong Ao even felt like he could break the shield.

But after a dozen tries, both sides were on the same level. That guy stood there and blocked with his shield. He didn’t even bother to look. Although he didn’t fight back, he showed no weaknesses either.

Both sides were six-star evolved, but no one could do anything to each other.

Zhong Ao looked around and noticed his men battling these outsiders with beautiful armor. But his men didn’t have any advantage. Because of the weapons that were soft but could cause terrifying damage, their losses were increasing—much less talk about killing that person who used the saint light technique.

Zhong Ao was anxious. He didn’t know what the situation was like on the walls. They were alone in the enemy territory. The more time they spent here, the higher the chance the enemy reinforcements could come. If they were surrounded, their knowing how to fly was useless.

When he thought about all that, he decided to gamble.

He controlled the spirit eagle to circle before it dove like the past dozen times. But the mount didn’t close its mouth. The moment the swords hit the shield, it gave out another cry.

This was the eagle’s special attack method. Apart from its sharp beak and claws, this cry could affect the enemy’s mind and cause them to be distracted.

To an evolved, this state wouldn’t last for long, but this short time was enough to decide the battle's outcome.

Of course, not all spirit eagles knew this skill; only the captain-level mounts could.

When Zhong Ao came into contact, he felt the resistance reduce and knew that his move had succeeded. The swords slashed the shield, and the eagle flapped to regain height. After he passed the giant shield, the new attack would be launched. His swords would slice that person’s head.

Everything succeeded… Except for the final move.

The swords slashed past the shields, but they missed.

Zhong Ao looked down and saw that three-meter-tall monster squatting there. Apart from his hands holding the shield handle, he was in a ball.

Zhong Ao saw the weird smile on the beast’s face.

The shield knocked upward and hit the eagle's stomach. The huge power caused it to cry, and its eyes started to bleed. The eagle flapped its wings to fly upward.

Zhong Ao panicked and also instinctively told the spirit eagle to fly higher.

But Shengyuan wouldn’t let him go. He shouted and grabbed the shield with his hands. He spun a few rounds on the spot and tossed the shield like a shotput, which hit the unstable eagle.

This demon monster couldn’t take such a heavy hit and fell from the sky. Zhong Ao tried to control his body and managed to land on the ground. This height wasn’t much for an evolved at his level.

But in the next second, he felt a giant figure dive toward him and pounce on him. A pair of strong hands grabbed his neck and sunk into his flesh before pulling him backward.

Half of Zhong Ao’s neck with his throat bone left his body.

Even in death, he didn’t understand how this monster could defeat him.
