World's Apocalypse Online Chapter 1582 - Battle

Chapter 1582: Battle

Gu Qing Shan led with a dance step.

The skeleton followed.

One man and one skeleton nimbly danced to the rhythm.

“Follow the music, follow me and dance together!”

“One two three, stomp your feet”

“Four five six, wave your hands”

“Seven eight nine, shake your jaws and wiggle your shoulders——”

“Everyone on the dance floor, together and spin! Spin! Spin!”

At some point, Gu Qing Shan suddenly felt like the opportunity was ripe and snapped his fingers.

Poof!

Poof!

Two skeletons appeared on the dance floor while kneeling on one knee.

They both put their weapons down, then stood behind Gu Qing Shan following the first skeleton.

Nodding their heads, stomping their feet, light hops, spinning in the air——

And a split!

The three skeletons closely followed Gu Qing Shan’s Dance as much as they could.

The music suddenly became grim!

It had become more solemn!

As well as more rapid!

Doong daga doong daga doong daga doong—–

Gu Qing Shan clapped his hands again.

Continuous popping noises.

Three more skeletons appeared from the void of s.p.a.ce!

They appeared br.i.m.m.i.n.g with killing intent only to witness this scene, so they were unsure of what to do.

Gu Qing Shan glared at them.

The skeletons had no choice but to let go of their weapon, tilting their chins up, then performed a series of short hops to join the dance practice.

Dance! Move! Dance! Move!

Gu Qing Shan was sweating bullets while he practiced the dance with the skeletons.

From a distance.

All the Professionists were stunned.

The Bottle Caster Hei Suo couldn’t help but whisper in doubt: “Miss Safaya, I’ve seen many professions in the infinite worlds, but I’ve not had to chance to come into contact with many from the undead domain——- are everyone from the domain of death like this?”

Safaya shook her head and muttered in shock: “I’ve never seen… skeletons like this…”

At this point, Hakuru and Moon Song had both returned from their scouting.

At a glance, it was clear that Gu Qing Shan was the lead dancer.

Behind him, six skeletons were rattling their bones to follow.

Hakuru and Moon Song were also speechless.

After a while.

The chaotic music slowly calmed down.

Gu Qing Shan turned his gaze to the void of s.p.a.ce to see a few lines of glowing text:

[The dance troupe’s first practice session is about to come to an end]

[This is a good beginning]

[You must have noticed that the situation seemed to have undergone some sort of new change, everything was now so urgent that even that esteemed lady had to come and urge you to practice the Dance]

[Keep trying your best]

Gu Qing Shan’s heart felt heavy as he read these words.

Something I don’t know about must be happening right now.

Regretfully, I don’t have enough Soul Points, otherwise, I could try asking the colorful rooster.

Soul Points…

I can’t keep staying poor like this, I need to think of a way to kill some powerful monsters.

The sound of music finally stopped.

Gu Qing Shan wiped his sweat away and ordered: “Alright, we’re going to end it here today. You guys need to practice more after you return, got it?”

The skeletons all nodded in unison.

Poof!

They also vanished in unison.

Gu Qing Shan turned to the Professionists.

“Time to head out?” he asked.

The Professionists all nodded.

“Ah, right, my dance troupe is still a few members short, want to partic.i.p.ate in the Dance as well?” Gu Qing Shan asked again.

All the Professionists swiftly shook their heads.

“…Alright, how was the result of your investigations?” Gu Qing Shan asked in a regretful tone.

The Elven Archer Moon Song replied: “We found a path that can perfectly avoid all the Apocalyptic ruins and proceed another 500 miles”

Gu Qing Shan pondered and asked: “Avoid?”

“Yes, this is the fastest method of advancement” Hakuru confirmed.

Gu Qing Shan lowered his head in thought for a while and asked: “Are there any powerful Apocalyptic monsters around us?”

“How powerful are you talking about?” Moon Song asked.

“Stronger than us individually, but weak enough for all of us to defeat if we cooperate” Gu Qing Shan replied.

The Professionists exchanged glances and all thought of something.

“There is a particularly powerful Apocalyptic monster in the vicinity that no one has been able to deal with” Ramata replied.

“Why so?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“Because for one or two individual mercenary corps, it is too powerful,” Hakuru replied.

Gu Qing Shan asked: “Then with six of us——-‘

“If all of us attacked it at once, there would actually be some hope of winning against it” Moon Song answered.

“Very well, we’re going to kill it” Gu Qing Shan excitedly said.

“…For what reason?” Ramata asked.

“Because I need to absorb the power of its soul” Gu Qing Shan answered with a casual expression.

The Professionists all fell silent.

To be able to become the Head of a mercenary corps and earn their livelihood in a place like the Doomsday Necropolis, all of them naturally had plenty of wits and a pair of sharp eyes.

——they had already guessed from how respectful the Necromancer Safaya treated him.

But now, he also wants to absorb the souls of Apocalyptic monsters.

As expected…

He is that Deity, isn’t he?

“Is there a problem?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“Not at all” all five Heads answered at once.

…

A minute later.

The six of them reached the foot of the snow mountain.

“Be careful, the monster is hiding in the ruins up ahead” Moon Song informed them.

“We can begin” Gu Qing Shan ordered.

Moon Song nodded, then nocked an arrow onto her bow and pulled the string.

Shu——

The arrow flew straight into the ruins.

A thunderous voice resounded:

「 Presence of the living 」

Instantly, their surroundings changed.

They found that they had left the snowy mountain only to enter a different world.

All the ruins were burning.

This was a world enveloped in flames.

“Alright, we’re in!” Moon Song said with a low voice.

“There—— take a look, it’s coming out” Safaya called out.

Only to see the flames beginning to gather into a gigantic form.

「 Your… only outcome is destruction… 」

The gigantic form slowly s.h.i.+fted, gradually manifesting into proper shape.

Safaya hurriedly explained: “Once it sees us, we’ll immediately die, so we need to rely on Hei Suo’s power”

Everyone turned to Bottle Caster Hei Suo.

Hei Suo turned his hand over to take out a small bottle filled with drifting dark fog.

“If we throw this bottle, it will change the attribute of this world and turn it into a world of dark fog, that way, the monster will no longer be able to see us” Hei Suo explained.

“How much time will we have?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

Hei Suo replied: “The fog will remain for about three minutes”

“In other words, we need to complete this combat in three minutes?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“Yes” Hei Suo confirmed.

Gu Qing Shan immediately delegated the tasks:

“Moon Song, Hakuru, your offenses are the strongest, make sure to maintain your rate of attack; Ramata, you’re an expert at imbuing everyone’s attacks with unique powers, make sure to go all out; Hei Suo, maintain control on your technique and make sure to tell us how much time is left, Safaya—–”

The blow dart user Hakuru suddenly cut in and said worriedly: “My attacks will be exceptionally painful for it, I’m afraid that it might target me after I attack. I’m not sure if I would be able to hold on for too long”

Gu Qing Shan replied: “Don’t worry, it will not chase after you, I guarantee it”

Hakuru nodded.

Gu Qing Shan turned to Safaya: “Come, give me your hand”

Safaya put out her hand.

Gu Qing Shan lightly patted her hand and declared: “By my name, you shall be able to summon all dead spirits”

Fwoom!

A burst of black flames abruptly rose around Safaya’s body, starling everyone.

“One final thing——-”

Gu Qing Shan reminded them: “Do not kill it, leave the last hit to me”

“Understood!” everyone responded at once.

“Let’s go, everyone”

Gu Qing Shan’s figure vanished first.

A bright flash of sword phantoms broke through the darkness like a bolt of lightning.

Roar!!!

In the sky, the monster roared out of pain.

Hakuru shook his head and sighed: “A sword cultivator… how unusual, both a sword cultivator and a Deity, what is he supposed to be?”

Ramata replied: “Don’t care about such things, prepare to head out, brother”

She took out a voodoo doll and put it on Hakuru’s head.

The doll tightly hung onto Hakuru.

Layers of green fog quickly manifested around Hakuru.

He instantly disappeared.

Following that, Ramata handed a snake-shaped pendant to Moon Song.

“This snake is ferocious” Moon Song cautiously commented.

She wrapped the snake pendant around her bowstring and lightly nocked an arrow onto it.

The arrow instantly became alive, turning into a hissing colorful poisonous snake.

“Blood-sucker snake, shaman poison snake, and spirit devouring snake; all three of them combined in one” Ramata explained.

“Should be enough” Moon Song nodded.

Her figure leapt forward and followed the monster’s thunderous footsteps.

Hei Suo stood still, controlling the black bottle in his hand to continuously release fog.

Ramata glanced at him, then turned to Safaya.

“Aren’t you going to attack?” Ramata curiously asked.

Safaya shook her head with a slightly excited expression.

She then muttered in a low voice: “Ancient dragon lying in slumber in the abyss of the River of Death, heed the summon of the Death G.o.d, break through the barrier between life and death as well as the surging water, come to me and crush the enemies”

Complete silence.

The ground began to continuously tremble.

Endless water vapor manifested into a head as tall as ten stories that opened its double irises to observe Safaya.

Safaya trembled while kneeling down, muttering to herself: “A dragon… I’ve finally managed to summon the ancient dragon of Death…”
