Game: Civilization Paradise

Chapter 264: Chapter 264: Monarch-Level

The two lords quickly shriveled before their very eyes, leaving behind nothing but empty husks.

"ROAR!"

The Monarch-class Makari let out a terrifying roar as its entire body erupted with a dark-red halo.

Its body began to rapidly grow taller and expand. In the blink of an eye, it became a thirty-meter-tall behemoth. Countless red eyeballs sprouted from its upper body, while its lower half split into a mass of tentacles. Its entire form emanated a crimson, bloody aura.

In that moment, Makari managed to recover from its injuries, returning to its complete form.

It then led its horde of Blood Breath Beasts toward the inner city entrance.

Meanwhile, Qian Yun and Qian Xing had led their troops in a successful breach from the outer city into the inner city. As they pushed forward, they came face to face with the colossal Makari leading an innumerable swarm of Blood Breath Beasts on a charge!

"What kind of Blood Breath Beast is that?"

"How is it so huge?"

...

The soldiers stared, stunned, at the massive Makari, their faces filled with terror and dread.

Qian Xing’s brow furrowed as he spoke with a grave tone.

"A Monarch-class Blood Breath Beast!"

"Haha, we finally found it. This thing must be the ringleader. As long as we take it down, we win."

Qian Yun declared, a savage glint in his eyes.

"Don’t get careless. This thing looks anything but ordinary!"

Qian Xing warned, his expression serious.

"So what if it’s strong? In the face of absolute firepower, it’ll die all the same. All heavy weapons, prepare!"

Qian Yun barked the command.

One after another, tanks raised their barrels. Rocket launchers, self-propelled artillery, and other weapons all entered firing readiness, awaiting Qian Yun’s command.

「Mountain City Mountain - Wave Street」

Shi Qiang’s legs were shaking with fear.

Long Ming shot him a sidelong glance and spoke coolly.

"You’re not running yet?"

"Right!"

Shi Qiang started at the sound of Long Ming’s voice, then snapped out of it and took off running.

Just then, Brucku charged furiously toward Long Ming.

Long Ming stood his ground, unmoving, his eyes fixed on the charging Brucku.

The reporter, Xu Tao, exclaimed in excitement.

"The monster is attacking!"

"Dodge!"

"Why isn’t he dodging!"

...

Everyone’s hearts were in their throats.

The instant Brucku closed the distance, it raised its sharp claws and slashed viciously at Long Ming.

Long Ming’s Power erupted in an instant. Stomping hard on the ground, he surged forward and swung his Dark Blade to meet the attack.

The sharp claws and the Dark Blade collided.

CLANG!

A powerful shockwave swept out from the impact.

Long Ming’s expression hardened. He twisted the Dark Blade, changing its angle and bringing it down through a gap between the monster’s claws.

SLICE!

A deep gash was instantly carved into Brucku’s claw.

It recoiled its right claw in pain, opening its gaping maw to snap at Long Ming.

Long Ming dodged to the side and slashed his blade across the side of Brucku’s face, dragging it downward viciously.

SCHRRIP!

A gruesome wound was carved into Brucku’s head, revealing the dark-red flesh within.

"Beautiful!"

Reporter Xu Tao shouted, watching the scene with wild excitement.

The viewers in the livestream’s chat flooded the screen.

"Go for it!"

"Take it down!"

...

The injured Brucku spun around, sweeping its tail at Long Ming.

Long Ming leaped back to dodge the attack, landing steadily on his feet before accelerating and charging Brucku once more.

Brucku opened its mouth and spewed a thick cloud of red mist.

"Get clear!"

Shi Qiang and the others shouted in terror upon seeing this.

They had already witnessed firsthand how scorching that red mist was.

Long Ming’s eyes narrowed. He charged straight into the red mist, accelerating as he swung his Dark Blade.

SLICE!

A gash was torn open on the side of Brucku’s mouth.

"ROAR!"

Brucku twisted its body in pain, swiping its claws at Long Ming.

Long Ming quickly retreated to dodge, putting distance between them once again.

Brucku’s crimson eyes stared at Long Ming. Then, its entire body quickly curled up, forming a ball of flesh.

Long Ming was taken aback by Brucku’s maneuver.

After curling into a ball of flesh, Brucku began rolling at high speed, aiming to ram Long Ming.

Holding his breath, Long Ming faced it head-on.

The instant before they collided,

Long Ming sidestepped the charge and swept his Dark Blade across its surface.

SCREEECH!

Sparks flew instantly.

Long Ming was stunned. ’This thing’s biological carapace is that tough?’

Having missed its target, Brucku smashed straight through a residential building.

BOOM!

The entire structure collapsed.

Long Ming’s eyelids twitched as he watched. ’The force of that impact is incredible.’

Brucku rolled its body and charged again, this time even faster than before.

Seeing this, Long Ming didn’t dare to face it head-on and immediately turned to run.

Brucku gave chase desperately, crushing every car in its path to smithereens.

It was like a merciless bulldozer, flattening everything in its way.

Just then, Jing Chuan arrived with his men. The roads had been too congested, so they had abandoned their vehicles and come on foot.

When they saw Long Ming running toward them, they immediately shouted.

"Long Ming, we’re here!"

"Run!"

Long Ming shouted back at Jing Chuan and his men.

Jing Chuan and his men froze for a second, only to then see the giant ball of flesh rolling behind Long Ming.

"Holy crap!"

They immediately turned and ran for their lives.

As Long Ming ran, he quickly tried to think of a strategy.

’If I want to take this thing down,’ he thought, ’I have to force it to stop rolling.’

’Of course, that wouldn’t be too hard. I just have to guide it into crashing into the nearby buildings. The problem is, those residential buildings might still be full of people who haven’t evacuated.’

’There’s no way I can lead it into those buildings. I’m here to save people, not get them killed.’

Suddenly, Shi Qiang appeared at an intersection up ahead on a motorcycle, shouting to Long Ming.

"Turn left!"

Hearing this, Long Ming immediately veered into the left fork in the road.

As expected, Brucku also turned left, continuing its relentless pursuit of Long Ming.

Long Ming ran for his life and soon reached the end of the road.

The artificial lake—North Lake—came into view.

He instantly understood Shi Qiang’s plan and accelerated toward North Lake Park.

Brucku remained in hot pursuit, continuously accelerating as it rolled.

Long Ming activated his mecha armor’s power source to its fullest, charging toward North Lake.

Just as Brucku was about to crash into him, Long Ming leaped directly into North Lake.

Brucku had no time to stop, and its entire body rolled straight into North Lake.

SPLASH!

A huge plume of water erupted as Brucku sank straight to the bottom of the lake.

Long Ming then swam to the shore and climbed out.

"We did it!"

Shi Qiang and the others cheered ecstatically.

Panting, Long Ming glanced back and couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.

But just then, the surface of the lake began to churn violently. Brucku’s head broke the surface, and it started swimming toward the shore.

"You’ve got to be kidding me!"

Shi Qiang and the others were dumbfounded.

Brucku quickly scrambled onto the shore and irritably shook the water from its body.

’An opening!’

Long Ming’s eyes narrowed. He raised his Dark Blade and charged at Brucku.

Brucku spotted him too and angrily raised its claws, swiping at him.

Long Ming ducked under the attack, then pushed off hard with both feet, leaping into the air.

He plunged his blade into Brucku’s neck and viciously dragged it downward toward its abdomen, gutting the beast and slicing its heart in two.

Dark-red blood instantly splattered all over Long Ming.

"GURGLE~"

Brucku let out a final, agonizing howl. It staggered back a step, then its entire body pitched backward, falling into North Lake.

Dark-red blood stained the entire surface of the lake.

Jing Chuan and his men ran over. Seeing that Long Ming had finished off Brucku, they couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Whew. It’s finally over."

Long Ming then disengaged the mecha armor, stepping out of the suit.

The moment he was free, his vision suddenly went black. He staggered, nearly losing his footing, and dropped to one knee.

Jing Chuan and his men rushed to help him up.

"Are you alright?"

"I’m fine."

Long Ming took a deep breath and replied in a low voice.
