Swallowed Star

by Alexander Buchanez

  "QIANG!"

  "KUANG!"

  "BOOM!" The clash between the two advanced level warlords and the high level commander level monster caused chaos. The surrounding lion mastiffs were caught in and blown away. Even the surrounding walls and the floor was affected and messed up. With large amounts of lion mastiff monsters supporting, the commander lion mastiff was practically even with the veteran named Liu and the white brute.

  PENG! PENG! PENG!

  The gunner Dong Zi, the bald brute, and the one eyed middle aged man also jumped out at this time.

  However, the one eyed middle aged man, the bald brute, and the gunner Dong Zi were all panicking. The group of the old veteran named Liu, the white brute, the mixed youth, and Pan Ya were able to mess around in the monster horde, but the one eyed middle aged man and the others were clearly having a hard time.

  "Hurry, let's go" said the one eyed middle aged man.

  "Hurry!"

  "DADADADA~~" Dong Zi dragged his machine gun along as he freely fired at the surrounding monsters.

  At this time--

  "HOWL~~"

  After the heart shuddering howl, another huge body that was also completely silver came jumping down from the six story apartment. Suddenly, the lion mastiff leader that was fighting against the old veteran named Liu and the white brute immediately started roaring excitedly as it conversed with the huge shadow coming from above.

  Another lion mastiff leader! Also a high level commander!

  The faces of the old veteran named Liu and the white brute changed drastically. They glanced at the tiger fang captain 'Pan Ya' and the mixed youth who were already far away..... when the two of them were stalling the large amounts of monsters, Pan Ya and the mixed youth were able to get away.

  "Hurry, go!"

  "Go"

  The white brute and the old veteran named Liu didn't dare to delay at all. Even without the monster horde, they couldn't go head to head with two high level commander monsters..... and there's a gigantic monster horde surrounding them!

  "HOWL~" "HOWL~"

  The two high level commander level lion mastiff leaders roared as they charged; would they allow these two damned humans to get away?

  ......

  On the second floor of the ruined six story residential apartment, Luo Feng watched what was going on outside through the window silently. The white brute and the old veteran named Liu ran away while the one eyed middle aged man, the bald brute, and Dong Zi were still bitterly charging out, Luo Feng let out a smile on his face.

  "Now's the time!"

  Two black throwing knives instantly flew out from the window towards the one eyed middle aged man and the bald brute in the horde of the lion mastiff monsters.

  It's better like this!

  If he fought out in the open, then the one eyed middle aged man who has reached the intermediate warlord level could put up a bit of a fight, but under this ambush.....

  "PU!" "PU!"

  The brains of the one eyed middle aged man and the bald brute were instantly pierced and blew up like watermelons. Soon after, the two eerie black lights virtually instantly pierced through the head of the gunner Dong Zi, who was currently crazily shooting his machine gun! When the three of them died, they were filled with fear, question, and dissatisfaction.

  They didn't even know what killed them.

  "RUMBLE~~" the three human corpses were instantly charged at by the large amounts of monsters. The lion mastiff and tiger mastiff monsters excitedly ripped apart their flesh.

  In the bathroom on the second floor, Luo Feng quietly watched the two lion mastiff leaders charge after the old veteran named Liu and the white brute.

  "Out of the six members of the tiger fang squad, five of them are already dead!"

  "Good, all according to plan. Even though I was the one behind this, they're clueless" Luo Feng was satisfied with what he has done so far, since he doesn't want to hurt that mixed youth. As long as you aren't dumb, you can figure out that..... the power behind the mixed youth is great!

  So--

  Luo Feng didn't attack the members of the tiger fang squad when they were with the young master!

  However, because of the monster horde's attack, the seven members of the squad split into three. Running in front was the mixed youth and Pan Ya, being chased by the two high level commander monsters was the old veteran named Liu and the white brute, while the last section was the one eyed middle aged man and the others!

  Because the mixed youth, the old veteran named Liu, and the white brute have ran far away already, they couldn't see what was going on with the one eyed middle aged man and the others at all, which was why Luo Feng chose that time to strike!

  "However, the young master is probably in big trouble this time" Luo Feng thought to himself.

  However, suddenly--

  A blurry shadow of a human appeared in Luo Feng's field of vision. This human was carrying some type of staff-type weapon. With a flash, he covered a few hundred meters and charged straight into the monster horde.

  "RUMBLE~~"

  A shocking blasting sound carried out, and the dozens of lion mastiffs and tiger mastiffs around Pan Ya and the mixed youth instantly turned into piles of flesh. The speed that surpassed the speed of sound caused the blasting sound.

  The shadow moved again!

  It directly arrived in front of the two lion mastiff leaders. The two lion mastiff leaders immediately let out an astonished howl and, surprisingly, started to run away!

  "BOOM!"

  The staff-type weapon harshly smashed onto the body of one of the lion mastiff leaders like lightning. The silver lion mastiff leader was launched up by around twenty meters, and all the scales on its body completely split open. Fresh blood sprayed around in the air, and while this lion mastiff was launched up by around twenty meters--

  "BOOM!"

  The shadow instantly chased after the other lion mastiff leader and also gave it a ferocious smash!

  The lion mastiff leader was like a thrown bowling ball as it was launched away and then smashed into the large amounts of lion mastiffs and tiger mastiffs behind it. The lion mastiffs that were near were directly shocked to death, while the other large amounts of lion mastiffs and tiger mastiffs were smashed away.

  As for the high level commander level lion mastiff leader, it rolled on the ground a few times and then stopped moving completely. Large amounts of blood came pouring from it's nose and ears.

  "BOOM!" And at this time, the lion mastiff leader that was launched high up into the air came crashing down onto the ground, not moving an inch.

  In an instant!

  Two high level commander level monsters instantly dead!

  "AO WU~" All the lion mastiffs, tiger mastiffs, and some other low level commander level monsters were completely shocked. All of them wailed as they all started running away.

  Only at this time did the shadow start to take up more of a form..

  Luo Feng just saw what the guy looked like: a huge brute that was around 2.3 to 2.4 meters tall and a face that looked like it was sculpted. He wore a completely gray battle uniform and held a gigantic..... mace! One can't help but to shiver after seeing the spikes on that mace!

  "Too messed up"

  Luo Feng looked at the two lifeless lion mastiff leaders' corpses and was completely stunned. He was so shocked that he didn't even dare to breathe loudly, "This is a wargod level fighter! It must be! I should be careful. If he finds me here, then there'll be trouble".

  Even the throwing knives that were originally shot out, under Luo Feng's will, dug into the ground. Luo Feng was too scared to retrieve them.

  "Uncle Li!" The mixed youth came running over and thanked him repeatedly.

  "Mr. Lee"

  The old veteran named Liu and the white brute respectfully bowed.

  The large brute laughed as he looked at the mixed youth: "Li Wei, when your dad received your SOS signal and found your location, there were two wargods nearby: me and brother W
ang. He quickly contacted me first. Luckily, I wasn't too far away..... so I could make it in time".

  "Uncle Wang is here too?" the eyes of the mixed youth flashed with light.

  At this time.....

  As if a wind blew past, a blurry shadow appeared in the vicinity. After stabilizing, a handsome person who seemed to be around 20 to 30 years old wearing a blue battle uniform appeared.

  "Uncle Wang" The mixed youth yelled.

  "Look at your shameful self" said the man as he slightly laughed.

  The white brute and the old veteran named Liu didn't dare to make a sound on the side, while the tiger fang captain Pan Ya was looking around the area. When he saw that there were some battle uniforms, remains from corpses, and a machine gun lying on the ground, his eyes couldn't help but to turn red.

  Chapter 81: Palace of Wargods

  Tiger captain Pan Ya couldn't help but to charge towards those battle uniforms and corpses. As he looked at the bloody remains, the tiger captain bitterly clenched his fists.

  "Pan Ya, they're already dead. What's the point in being sad?" lowly shouted the veteran named Liu.

  "Oh, what's going on?"

  The man named Wang smiled as he looked over and the mixed youth immediately laughed as he explained: "Uncle Wang, it's like this. My dad let me come out here to get some combat experience. Not only is old Liu and Ka Long protecting me, but a warlord level fighter squad was also hired to protect me, in case we need more people. However, five out of the six members of their squad died, so he's the only one left".

  "Six of them, and five of them died?"

  A deep voice carried out from the throat of the huge brute, "Isn't this squad just too weak!"

  "Mr. Li" said the veteran named Liu respectfully, "It's actually not because the tiger fang squad is too weak. Truthfully, in the past few days when we left to give our young master some combat experience, the two squad members guarding our point encountered an attack by monsters and died right there! And this time, when we were resting on the sixth floor, we were also mysteriously attacked by a gigantic monster horde.... those three were weaker, so they died in the monster horde".

  The man named Wang slightly frowned.

  The huge brute also said in a confused tone: "What's going on?".

  It's very rare for a monster horde to attack a location where the fighters are hiding. And since this happened twice in a row, there's clearly something wrong!

  "Someone's causing this behind your backs"

  said the man named Wang silently, "It's probably someone who has a grudge against the tiger fang squad!".

  Luo Feng was hiding in a bathroom on the second floor of a residential apartment building. His breathing was already as weak as it could get, but Luo Feng, who didn't dare to make a sound, couldn't help but to be surprised after clearly hearing what that man named Wang said: "This guy sure hit the mark!".

  "Someone with a grudge against the tiger fang squad?" Pan Ya walked over here.

  "Uncle Wang?" The mixed youth also had a confused look on his face as he looked towards the man named Wang.

  "Even though your dad has enemies, all of them are wargods! A wargod wouldn't bother to come and kill a child like you. If that happens, then your dad will surely go mad and eradicate that person's entire family" the man named Wang smiled as he said, "And also, if a wargod wanted to kill you, you would be dead within your first day of leaving the headquarter city".

  The mixed youth nodded.

  "Your dad did the right thing. Li Wei, the training you're undergoing is the best of the best. However, your current fighting strength is quite average". The man named Wang asked, "How's your fitness level now?".

  "My fitness level counts as an intermediate warlord. However..... I can only fight against most 'low level commander level monsters'" answered the mixed youth.

  "Average! Very average! Or you could say..... below average!".

  The man named Wang said in a dissatisfied tone, "Man's intelligence is higher than monsters'! A horde leader's intelligence is only roughly equal to a human's! So..... a true fighter should be able to fight against a monster that's the same level as him. A few messed up fighters can even fight against monsters above their level! Your fitness level is that of a intermediate warlord's, and yet you can only fight against a beginner level commander? You still lack lots of training!"

  The mixed youth earnestly nodded his head.

  "Your fitness level is good, which is why your mom and dad bothered to spend tons of money on you!" said the man named Wang seriously, "With your talent, and your parents' support, there's a chance for you to step into the 'wargod level' within 10 years! So right now, you should seriously absorb some real battle experience! Only when you become a wargod and enter the 'Palace of Wargods' will people start to respect you and not treat you like a weak, spoiled child of a powerful man".

  "Understood, uncle Wang" the mixed youth clenched his teeth as he nodded.

  His father is a first generation fighter, and his mother is one of the powerful wargod fighters in one of the super families in the European Union. With his parent's genes, Li Wei is very talented. Even without entering the wilderness, after around twenty years, his fitness level has reached the intermediate warlord level!

  If his dad and mom spend large amounts of money, then it won't be hard for Li Wei to step into the 'wargod' level.

  "Dare to ask you senior, what is the Palace of Wargods?" the tiger captain 'Pan Ya' who didn't make a sound until now couldn't help but to ask.

  Even the hiding Luo Feng couldn't help but to pay attention, yeah, what exactly is the Palace of Wargods?

  "Usually, people will only get contacted when they reach the "advanced warlord level"" the man named Wang glanced at him, "Your skill is pretty good, so it's alright if I tell you in advance! The Palace of Wargods is a group formed by not only all the wargod level fighters, but also all the existences that surpass the wargod level in every headquarter city in all the five major countries on earth!".

  "You can say that all the wargods on the entire earth are part of the Palace of Wargods!".

  "And the strongest fighter 'Hong' and 'Thunder God' are the creators of the Palace of Wargods! It's a power made for us fighters" smiled the man named Wang.

  The tiger captain Pan Ya was flabbergasted.

  Even Luo Feng, who was hiding far away, was surprised. Holy shit, all the human wargods on earth forming one power together? And 'Hong' and 'Thunder God' partnered up to create that group? Once this power is established, not even those powerful countries can do anything about it!

  "The Palace of Wargods is the palace for fighters"

  "The Palace of Wargods is the final fort for humanities battle against monsters!"

  "The Palace of Wargods exist for two reasons. One, to chase our limits as humans. Two, to eradicate the monsters on earth!".

  Said the man named Wang as his eyes slightly flashed.

  The blood of all the people at the scene were boiling, including the old veteran named Liu. He was excited, because he is at the advanced warlord level. Even though he's just one step away, due to his age, it will probably be hard for him to get any stronger. Even Luo Feng, who was hiding far away, was excited.

  "Alright, Li Wei, you guys should hurry up and leave".

  The man named Wang smiled, "Me and your uncle Li have to get ready to go and fight that 'high level horde leader level' steel armored dragon. This operation is very dangerous, so you should get far away from here. It'll be better if you guys at least get to the highway outside the sector".

  "Steel armored dragon?" the mixed youth's eyes were wide open.

  Pan Ya, the old veteran named Liu, and the white brute all took in a deep breath.

  "Holy shit" Luo Feng, who was hiding far away, was also surprised, "These two wargods sure are brave. A high level horde leader level steel armored dragon!". A horde leader's intelligence is roughly equal to a human's. And naturally, the fitness level of this horde leader monster is higher than a h
uman of the same level!

  So, against a high level horde leader monster, usually even an advanced level wargod has to run.

  Two wargods teaming against a high level horde leader?

  Are they out of their minds?

  "Haha, that steel armored dragon just laid eggs recently, so it lost lots of its strength" smiled the man named Wang, "This is the best chance!".

  "Laid eggs?" the mixed youth and the others were surprised.

  "Alright, hurry and leave. That steel armored dragon is only 10 miles away from here. Once we take action, the large monster horde under it's control will start moving..... and the surrounding area will get affected. So it's safer for you guys to leave Shanghai city and run to the highway" explained the man named Wang.

  All the horde leaders are intelligent, and will have a huge monster horde under it's control.

  "Okay, understood" nodded the mixed youth, "Then your nephew wishes uncle Li and uncle Wang good luck".

  "Let's go"

  After the mixed youth's command, Pan Ya and the others immediately swiftly left. They wouldn't dare not listen to a wargod's warning, so they all immediately ran outside the city.

  On the way.

  The mixed youth and the other three were completely astonished.

  "Mr. Wang and Mr. Li sure are strong. Hunting a high level horde leader! Even if it's weaker after laying eggs, it's still a high level horde leader" the old veteran named Liu couldn't help but to say.

  "Are these two people the legendary shadow blade brothers 'Shadow Blade' Wang Tong and 'Bear Strength' Li Kan?" Pan Ya couldn't help but to ask.

  "Correct"

  The mixed youth proudly smiled, "When my dad and mom were young, they were in the same squad as uncle Wang and uncle Li. That's a friendship to the death!"

  The tiger captain Pan Ya couldn't help but to be amazed.

  This is the background! His parents are wargods, so naturally, his parents have quite a few wargod friends too!

  "One day, I'm also going to become a wargod and join the Palace of Wargods! Once I join the Palace of Wargods, I'll easily be able to make connections with other wargods..... at that time, I'll also have my own gigantic network of wargods!" Pan Ya couldn't help but to look forward to, "Yup, since I'm the only person left in the tiger fang squad, I'll go search for a more powerful fighter squad to join!".
