Free Web NovelChapter 1055: Chapter 423 Corpse?
"The angels, attack!" As Zhou Tian approached, the player who was targeted by Zhou Tian didn’t hesitate. With a single command, the angel behind him launched an attack towards Zhou Tian. frёewebnoѵēl.com
"Boom!" Zhou Tian didn’t dodge, firstly because he had ample confidence in his own strength and secondly because he wanted to test the angel’s strength. As the angel attacked him, he stood his ground and took the hit without flinching.
"Domain-level strength?" After just one exchange of blows, Zhou Tian had already acquired a rough understanding of his opponent’s strength. According to his observation, the angel had four wings. If the Angel Clan’s strength levels increased with every pair of wings—starting from Pope Level for two, then it was likely that every additional pair represented a jump in rank. This would mean that, as an Emperor-level BOSS, his combat power was equivalent to that of a Six-winged Angel within the Angel Race.
Based on Zhou Tian’s calculations, neither the player along with the angel would likely be his match. The disparity in strength between tiers was vast, not to mention that Zhou Tian was strong even among Emperor-level BOSSes, while the angel was merely being manipulated by the player.
However, even though Zhou Tian had the upper hand in strength, he felt not the slightest bit of excitement in facing the player. On the contrary, the more he fought against the player and the angel, the more uneasy he felt.
Even if Zhou Tian currently had a bit of an advantage in strength, he didn’t forget that what he faced was not just this player and angel, but all players and the camp forces they represented. If the angels had the strength to fight him with just six wings, Zhou Tian didn’t believe that the strongest existence among the angels would only have six wings.
Even if we set aside the deities of legend with more than ten wings, the existence of Eight-winged or Ten-winged Angels would not be deemed unusual. If the Angel Race really lent their full support to the players, Zhou Tian didn’t think he or the Monsters of the Monster Camp could withstand those angels.
If it truly came to combat between the angels and the monsters, Zhou Tian didn’t believe his side would stand much of a winning chance. Therefore, given his situation, facing those players left Zhou Tian unable to feel at ease.
"No, these angels lack sentience!" At first, due to the grim conjectures in his mind, Zhou Tian, though gaining the upper hand in battle, felt burdened by the heavy mood. It wasn’t until after he had fought dozens of angels and demons that he made a new discovery.
"Why lack these angels and demons sentience? Could it be that they are also being forced to become pets for these players?" When Zhou Tian noticed the apparent lack of consciousness in these angels and demons, he was surprised and immediately began to desperately ponder the reason for this situation.
If things were as Zhou Tian thought, then the current situation might not be as irreversibly bad as it seemed. After all, if those angels and demons were volunteering, they would certainly help the players en masse, and considering those two factions’ strength, once they truly got involved in the conflict between monsters and players, it’s likely that the Monster Camp would not end up well.
But if the angels and demons weren’t willingly helping the players, it meant that these beings wouldn’t attack the monsters as a whole unit. This wouldn’t guarantee that powerful high-level angels and demons wouldn’t appear in the future, but at least Zhou Tian wouldn’t need to worry about encountering such formidable enemies in the short term.
With his mind at ease, Zhou Tian’s performance in fighting the players improved due to the absence of psychological pressure, and as a result, under his leadership, the players who had just been treasure hunting in Zhou Tian’s Territory once again left behind many corpses.
After numerous players perished, the Beastmen under Zhou Tian’s command managed to stabilize the defense line. Although they lacked the capability to rout the players in one fell swoop, he believed that, given the current circumstances, the players entering the Beastman Territory would not be an easy task.
With the situation becoming stable, Zhou Tian withdrew from the combat and began focusing his energy on other Important Matters.
Zhou Tian never placed much importance on the conflict with the players, very well aware that they were too numerous to defeat entirely. No matter how many players he killed at the moment, there would likely be more to take their place. Instead of pondering how to annihilate all the players, he thought it wiser to consider other, more important issues. As for the combat, as long as he could guarantee that his defense line wouldn’t be breached by the players, that would be sufficient.
Currently, for Zhou Tian, the most important matter might be to understand the reason the Gods and Demons were being employed by the players. If he couldn’t find out why and address this problem, the shortcomings of the players would be compensated, and as they grew stronger, life for those in the Monster Camp would become increasingly difficult.
