Man in the Ark: Revitalizing Kazdel

Chapter 369 Watching the Battle, Escape

The wounded beast raised its head and roared. The sandstorm dispersed by the main gun blast returned, covering an even wider area than before. A thick, inky black fog spread from the wound, rapidly reducing visibility.

The thick smoke not only blocked vision, but even perception spells could not penetrate it.

The giant beast took the opportunity to hide in the black fog. The aerospace battleship lost its target for a moment and became a headless fly, floating around.

In order to avoid a direct collision between the warship and the behemoth, Tracy ordered the gunners to continuously fire into the surrounding smoke to test the location of the behemoth.

"The god who possesses unknown powers is indeed not that simple..." Tracy's face was solemn. The lack of intelligence is fatal to every military commander.

It was like this when he faced the Tower of Babel built by his sister, and it was like this now when he faced the unknown god. Thinking of this, Tracys turned his head slightly, looking at the Sarkaz man standing alone by the porthole.

Tracy was not surprised that Roy's magical clone would appear in the battleship's command room. He was there to test the army's combat capabilities and also to serve as a reliable insurance policy.

If he intervened, it would mean the failure of this operation. After all, there was no such thing as insurance on a real battlefield.

However, the aerospace battleship is a very important defensive weapon for Kazdel. If it really comes to the last resort, Tracy will not hesitate to ask Roy for help to ensure the safe return of the battleship.

......

"Hmph, a mere trifle. It's annoying just to look at." The old Taoist priest glanced with disdain at the sandstorm and black fog that tried to trap him. He picked up the palm-leaf fan at his waist and waved it casually. Flames powerful enough to burn mountains and boil seas burst out from the fan, burning up half of the sky.

The giant beast hidden in the black fog was forced to reveal its tracks. In anger, it raised its sharp claws high and slapped the old Taoist priest's head hard.

"Ya, you're such a restless fellow. You could have just stayed in hiding and recuperated, and still survived for hundreds of years. Why do you have to seek suffering?"

"It seems like I haven't taught you a lesson in too long, and you're itching for it!"

The old Taoist priest stretched his muscles briefly, a wild grin spreading across his face. He raised his fist, streaked with golden lightning. A massive claw as vast as a mountain collided with a tiny human fist.

"Roar~~~~~" The arm that had just recovered was broken again, and the powerful force of thunder raged in his body, aggravating the old injury that had not been healed for a long time.

"Damn old thing, how come you are still so strong?" Ya forcibly suppressed the surging blood and the expression on his feminine face became more vicious.

"I have always been strong, it's you who are too weak." The old Taoist priest shook his numb arms and put them behind his back with a calm expression.

"Where's the guy who came with you? Come on all of you, I'll teach him a lesson."

"One for me is enough."

"Shameless talk!"

A man and a god locked eyes in mid-air, launching their attacks simultaneously. Thunder roared, the earth cracked, and the roars of angry and resentful beasts echoed clearly in the ears of every ordinary passenger on the train watching the battle.

"It's unheard of that there are such a huge number of intelligent creatures in this world."

"The one who can compete with that giant beast is probably no ordinary person."

"Being able to capture this grand scene up close is worth the ticket price."

"We shouldn't be affected..."

"It's hard to say. I think that creature could flatten the entire carriage with one slap."

"What should we do? Quickly get the train moving and escape from the battlefield."

"No, the black fog ahead hasn't dissipated yet. Who knows what monsters are in there?"

"Where's that aerial battleship? Why can't I see it?"

"I don't know, maybe they retreated."

The frightened passengers engaged in heated discussions on many aspects of the battle.

I was worried about my own safety, but I also wanted to watch the entire battle. After all, humans are creatures that enjoy watching the excitement.

......

In the pitch-black fog, Tracy discovered through careful observation that the black fog would follow the movement of the aerospace battleship, which was why the battleship was unable to break through the encirclement for a long time.

"Concentrate the naval gun fire to break through, turn the engine to the maximum thrust mode, and break out by force..." The small naval guns on the battleship fired three rounds at the same time, and the thick black fog thinned a little.

The aerospace battleship seized this opportunity, accelerating forward at full speed, and forcibly breaking through the black fog. The ominous black fog tried to attack again, but was temporarily suppressed by the dense ship's gunfire.

"General, the propulsion engine is slightly damaged, and the battleship's outer deck is damaged. There's something wrong with that black mist; it's infiltrating the interior of the ship. It appears to be some kind of living thing."

"Then fire the main gun and completely disperse the black fog. Is the main gun ready to charge?"

"Report to the General, we are ready to launch at any time."

"Aim at the center of the black fog and fire at full power."

"Yes!"

The second main gun fired, piercing through the wriggling and spreading black fog. The high temperature burned the air, and it actually emitted a shrill scream.

The severely injured Black Mist realized that something was wrong and fled without hesitation, abandoning Ya who was still struggling with the old Taoist priest.

"Bi, you damned traitor, come back here!" Ya had just been punched on the right cheek, leaving a bright red fist mark. His tied-up hair was disheveled, and he looked utterly miserable.

Seeing Black Mist abandon him and flee alone, Ya's defenses were somewhat broken. That guy had promised him before setting out that he would help him to the utmost, but at the slightest danger, he betrayed his compatriots.

"Ya, I still want to live for a few hundred more years. If you want revenge, that's your business. I don't want to fight against such a powerful weapon yet..."

As the black fog quickly fled towards Longmen, the sound in the wind became smaller and smaller.

From the beginning to the end, Ya's helper never revealed his true identity. In the final analysis, he didn't want to cause trouble for himself.

Being targeted by the Da Yan officials is already troublesome enough, and if you provoke Kazdel, your peaceful life will be over.

"Ya, your helpers have all run away, do you still want to keep fighting?" The old Taoist priest dropped back to the ground from mid-air, hands on his hips, questioning the fallen beast. Scars covered its massive body, and black blood flowed and gathered into puddles.

"Hmph! If it weren't for those Sarkaz meddling in my affairs, you would have died." Even facing death, Ya still held his ground. He possessed the pride of a god and refused to bow his head easily.

"Your era has passed. Even without me, it would be impossible for you to dominate the earth again. With your level, you are comparable to several armies of Da Yan."

"..." The giant beast fell silent. He knew very well that those ants he looked down upon were able to hunt gods hundreds of years ago. Hundreds of years later, the ancient gods were just troublesome creatures to the state machine of Da Yan.

"I lost, what are you going to do with me?"

"Kazdel and Dayan both need an explanation."
