In the past, when Guhan was idle, he would simulate his own battle scenes in his mind countless times, simulating the scene of him falling into a bitter battle … For example, fighting against Yuan Kou who was a level higher than him, or fighting in a place full of traps, or fighting against a group of evenly matched opponents … No matter what the situation was, the opponent in Guhan's illusion was at least an equal opponent to Yuan Kou.
Guhan had never thought that there would be a day when he would be forced into such a situation by a group of mice level Yuan Kou who were one level lower than him, three levels lower than him.
Too many!
The number was really too many!
Guhan had officially launched his attack on the Rain Flower Terrace District for more than half an hour … In this half an hour, Guhan might not even be able to advance 300 meters.
Every time Guhan killed a zombie, there would be two zombies taking over the position of the previous zombie. Only by continuously killing could he barely have enough space to stand … Fortunately, these zombie corpses of Yuan Kou would be absorbed by the Dimensional Vortex after they died. Otherwise, Guhan reckoned that the number of corpses under his feet could circle the earth five times …
However, this large-scale Dimensional Vortex had already existed by Guhan's side for about half an hour. Because there was an endless stream of Yuan Kou zombies dying, the Dimensional Vortex also continuously absorbed these Yuan Kou corpses. There was not even a gap of a few seconds in between, so this Dimensional Vortex had not disappeared.
This was a very rare situation. The sword bearers called this situation an Iron Vortex, meaning that this Dimensional Vortex was like an iron vortex and would not disappear.
If the vortex lasted for more than five hours, then it could be called a Silver Vortex. If it lasted for more than a day, then it would be called a Gold Vortex.
This type of Dimensional Vortex usually only appeared during large-scale battles between humans and Yuan Kou. It rarely appeared at other times. Where could they find so many Yuan Kou that belonged to the same world as the sword bearers in a few seconds?
After all, it was very rare for someone like Guhan to encounter so many mice level Yuan Kou at once and still rush to his death … Guhan estimated that in just half an hour, he and Yi Tian had killed no less than three thousand zombies. However, the number of three thousand was just a drop in the bucket for the Yuan Kou that covered the entire Rain Flower Terrace District.
"Guhan, we can't continue fighting like this. Otherwise, we won't be able to reach the Rain Flower Terrace Martyrs Monument before nightfall!"
Misaka Mikoto also joined the battle. Her fighting style was very simple. All she had to do was use her hands to slap the zombies in front of her. Needless to say, the effect of the battle was very good.
This was because the zombies' bodies were covered in all kinds of decomposing corpse fluid. Corpse fluid was the best conductor. Misaka Mikoto's strong electric current only needed to touch a zombie for a few seconds before it would be charred black. Then, it would be absorbed by the Dimensional Vortex. The electric current was surprisingly effective against zombies!
"I know, but my Swordmistresses are single-target combat. They don't have the ability to attack in groups!"
Regarding this, Guhan felt a little helpless. Whether it was Qing Pin, Douyu, or Yi Tian, they were all one-on-one skills that were suitable for killing monsters that were a higher level than them. When faced with these Yuan Kou that relied on numbers to win, they were helpless. Even if they used their skills, they would still be killed with one slash. It was better for them to save their Swordmistresses!
Guhan's Nine Swords Of Mysterious Heaven had some area-of-effect skills such as Sword Of The Abyss and Sword Formation Break. These were AoE skills that were quite useful in this situation. One slash would be able to kill a large area.
The problem was that these skills required a lot of Swordmistresses.
For example, Sword Formation Break required a total of 1000 quarks of Swordmistresses. The Swordmistresses in Guhan's body could only be used five times at most.
The attack range of Sword Formation Break was only a few hundred meters. On the other hand, the Rain Flower Terrace's Monument of the Heroes was a full five kilometers away … Moreover, this was in a straight line. To reach the Rain Flower Terrace's monument, one would have to climb a mountain.
Even if Guhan used up all his Swordmistresses, it would not be enough to reach the Rain Flower Terrace.
Guhan had a feeling that there was a pair of eyes watching him in the dark. Once he used up all his Swordmistresses, the eyes would rush out without hesitation and cooperate with the zombies to deal a fatal blow to him. Therefore, Guhan had to keep the Swordmistresses in his body just in case.
"I've had enough of this!
If it was me, I could've sent all the corpses on the Rain Flower Terrace on their way with a single Super Electromagnetic Break. "
Misaka Mikoto said as she panted after charring a zombie's head. It was obvious that she was very tired. Misaka Mikoto's body had not fully recovered. If she continued like this, she would probably get new injuries before her old ones were healed.
"We have to think of a way to escape from these Yuan Kou's encirclement. Otherwise, we'll be dragged to our deaths here!"
Guhan swung his sword and chopped off three connected zombies' heads at the same time. Black liquid splashed all over his body. However, the black liquid was quickly absorbed by the Dimensional Vortex in the sky.
Guhan observed his surroundings as he killed the endless zombies. Then, he saw a building that had not completely collapsed … It was a building that was about fifty stories high. Seeing the building, Guhan had an idea.
"Yi Tian, don't go directly to the Rain Flower Terrace Mountain. Change direction and go to that building!" Guhan said to Yi Tian who was leading the way.
"Okay, I got it!"
Just like Guhan, Yi Tian's hands were weak from killing Yuan Kou. Although she did not know why Guhan wanted to change his target to the building, based on her understanding of Guhan, Yi Tian knew that as long as she trusted Guhan, he would not be wrong.
This small team, surrounded by endless zombies, struggled to move forward bit by bit.
Although the building's ruins were less than thirty meters away from Guhan, it still took Guhan almost five minutes to slowly move there.
"Go in!"
Under Gu Han's command, the three of them rushed into the ruins of the building … Just like the outside of the building, the inside of the building was also filled with densely packed zombies. Gu Han looked at the direction of the stairs, and tragically discovered that even the stairs were filled with zombies.
"Forget it, let's retreat!"
Guhan's face turned cold. He immediately took back his words and made Yi Tian, who had gone in with great difficulty, retreat.
"Damn, what are you doing? Are you playing with this heroine?"
Yi Tian rolled her eyes. Clearly, she was very dissatisfied with Gu Han's decision to go back on his words.
"We can't use the stairs. I have to find another way to get to the roof!"
Guhan killed a few zombies with his sword. Then, he used his hand to touch the building's wall. Fortunately, the wall felt quite solid!
"Yi Tian, can you climb to the roof from here?" Guhan suddenly asked.
"Climb up?"
Yi Tian looked up at the height of the building. Then, she cut off the head of a ferocious-looking Yuan Kou who was trying to bite her arm. "This heroine was omnipotent in the past. I can climb up this small wall!"
"Okay, Ms. Misaka. What about you?
Can you climb up? "Guhan threw the question to Misaka Mikoto.
Misaka Mikoto looked at the fifty-story tall wall. She was obviously hesitant. After thinking for a while, she felt that she could not be a burden at such a crucial time. Then, she gritted her teeth and promised, "Yes, I can climb up!"
"Okay, Yi Tian. Same rules. You go up first and lead the way for us. If there are Yuan Kou on the roof, kill them all."
"Got it."
Yi Tian said impatiently. Then, he stomped on the ground and leaped four meters into the air, directly standing on the window of the second floor.
She did not take more than three seconds to complete the entire action.
Just like what Yi Tian said herself, her climbing action couldn't be described as climbing. She just walked up. The outer wall of the building, which had windows to stand on every few meters, was nothing more than a large staircase for Yi Tian.
Throughout the entire process, she did not even need to use her hands. She jumped and jumped like a frog and reached the roof of the ruined building. It took her less than a minute.
"Guhan, there are quite a number of Yuan Kou on the roof. However, they are not as dense as the ones below. I can clear them out quickly!" Yi Tian who was on the roof said to Guhan through the sword mark.
"Got it. Thank you for your hard work!"
Guhan cut off the sword mark communication with Yi Tian. Then, he urged Misaka Mikoto, "Ms. Misaka, it's your turn. Hurry up and climb up. I'll cover you from behind!"
After saying that, Guhan consumed 100 quarks of sword essence and unleashed a Sword of the Abyss sword aura. The Yuan Kou were cleanly sliced in half by the sword aura as if they were carrots. An empty space of about ten square meters was cleared out.
"This Guhan knows how to use sword aura!"
Misaka Mikoto was shocked. Among humans, the only person who could wield a sword with sword aura was the Swordmaster!
However, Misaka Mikoto did not have time to think about it. Under Guhan's urging, she grabbed onto a protruding object on the wall and started climbing.
Misaka Mikoto did not seem to be an expert at climbing walls. Her movements were nervous and jerky. She would look down from time to time and tremble … That was normal. Even though Misaka Mikoto had lived for more than a thousand years, she was still a complete novice at climbing walls.
Fear of heights was something that everyone was born with.
Therefore, it was not embarrassing for Misaka Mikoto to not be able to climb up to the third floor even after five minutes. She was just a beginner.
Unfortunately, Guhan did not have the time to waste on waiting for Misaka Mikoto to climb up the wall.
Guhan who had started climbing behind Misaka Mikoto took less than half a minute to catch up to her. Seeing that she was dawdling on the wall, Guhan was anxious.
"Let me give you a hand!"
Feeling anxious, Guhan could not help but want to help Misaka Mikoto. Therefore, Guhan who was below Misaka Mikoto stretched out his right hand and supported Misaka Mikoto's butt … Guhan's idea was beautiful. He wanted to support Misaka Mikoto up.
"Ah!"
Misaka Mikoto who was suddenly attacked in the buttocks screamed in embarrassment. She was like a female gorilla as she crawled all the way from the third floor to the fifth floor with her hands and feet moving in a blink of an eye.
Her speed was comparable to the Heavenly Sword.
