"What is this monster? Why hasn't anyone ever heard of it?" a trainer on the city walls asked rather gravely .

"I'm not sure, but I know that we've never heard of it or where it came from . "

"It started attacking the base city almost immediately . Looks like it isn't too fond of humans . We need to exterminate it!" said another trainer coldly .

The trainers on top of the city walls were humans, after all . They weren't going to waste time thinking about why this creature was attacking their city .

Gao Peng knew exactly why the creature was attacking, but he chose to stay silent instead of embarra.s.sing the Chang'an military .

A ring of ethereal light emanated from the Nuclear Ruler and slowly rippled outwards . Every single tree that the light touched snapped like a twig . The ring of light petered out a few hundred yards away from the city walls . Fortunately, it seemed as though the recently evolved Nuclear Ruler hadn't fully grasped the extent of its own power .

The Nuclear Ruler paused for a second before lowering its raised arm and proceeding to advance rather nonchalantly .

The Golden Eagle wasn't going to stand idly by . With a flap of its ma.s.sive wings, every feather on its wings started glowing brightly . Intricate markings could be seen weaving and curling their way across the eagle .

The sky was now positively blinding . Every feather on the eagle was a lance of golden light, hovering over the Nuclear Ruler like the Sword of Damocles .

A quick flicker, and the next moment—

Like a mythical waterfall, a deluge of light rained on the Nuclear Ruler with devastating force .

Rumble .

The force of the attack reduced the area to rubble and whipped up a huge cloud of dust that streams of residual light leaked through .

"Is it dead?"

"It should be . "

The trainers on the city walls chattered lightly among themselves .

Gao Peng squinted a little, then tapped Dumby on the thigh .

"Go and slow him down . Try to avoid direct contact if you can . "

Even though the Nuclear Ruler had indeed seen an explosive growth in its level and grade, there was still a limit to how much it could grow . Gao Peng had originally planned to capture an Ice-type familiar before taking on the Desert Ruler, so it was a shame…

Nothing ever went as he intended .

He understood . That was just how life worked .

The radiation of the nuclear core had been so deadly that the Desert Ruler had been forced to evolve just to survive . While this evolution might have increased its battle power immensely for a short time, it had also sapped a considerable amount of energy from the Desert Ruler . The Desert Ruler was in no shape to engage in a war of wearing each other down .

It was like an army being cut off from their rations .

Right by the edges of the city walls were a group of young teenagers .

"Hey, beansprout . That creature down there looks pretty scary . Do you think your dad's familiar can take him on?"

"Don't call me that!" said a skinny boy at the back of the group . "Hmph . My dad's Golden Deity is invincible . He'll take care of that beast with no problems!"

The skinny boy was pretty good looking . He was young, but he had great features . His eyes were clear, and he had a great smile .

"Huang, that guy over that is sending in his familiar . " A pimply-faced youth jabbed his finger repeatedly at Gao Peng .

Gao Peng was deployed right in the center of the of the city walls, a location that gave him the widest field of vision—and also drew the most attention from the crowd below .

Another lad with a mole on his brow sneered, "He's probably going in to finish what your dad started and steal all the credit . "

"It's okay . My dad is too generous to fight that man for credit," Huang Quan said rather pompously .

Gao Peng, who appeared to have heard them, turned around to shoot them a quick glance .

They instantly fell silent while steadfastly trying to avoid his gaze .

Only after Gao Peng turned away did someone pipe up, although somewhat hesitantly . "He looked so fierce . I thought he was coming over to kick our a*ses . "

"Who's that? Why does he look so familiar?" Mole Lad wondered aloud .

"He looks like the Salted Fishman!" another teenager exclaimed loudly .

"What? The Salted Fishman?! I have his trading card in my bag!" The Salted Fishman had quite the reputation among these youth . Since Gao Peng was originally from Chang'an, he was always a source of pride for these locals .

Huang Quan muttered rather nastily under his breath about how the Salted Fishman was all talk and could never beat his father in a straight fight .

"You're sending in your familiar now?" asked an officer quizzically .

"If not now, when?" Gao Peng was speechless .

As the dust cleared, the Nuclear Ruler could be seen standing in the same spot, seemingly unscathed . It craned its neck lightly to peer at the microscopic cracks on its chest before blowing lightly over them . The wound started bubbling like mercury .

All of a sudden, it could feel its movements slowing down, as though it was being restrained by an invisible force .

Rooted to the ground, the creature slowly turned its head around, only to see a shadowy figure in black robes rapidly closing in on it . Two orbs of white flames could be seen flickering in the depths of its attacker's hood .

Dumby raised its right arm and clenched its fist in the Nuclear Ruler's direction .

A small ball of white flames seeped slowly into the ground .

Immediately, the ground underneath the Nuclear Ruler started trembling violently .

Rumble . Rumble . Rumble .

Hordes of skeletons erupted from the ground to the surface .

"Roar! Roar! Roar!!" The skeletal remains of a 100-foot-long centipede roared majestically as it unleashed a putrefying wave of decay .

"That was the Elder King Centipede that was slain by the Golden Deity six months ago!" someone on the castle wall exclaimed .

The earth beneath Chang'an City was teeming with skeletal remains due to its history of successfully repelling waves of hostile creatures before . Once these creatures were stripped of everything useful, they were thrown into a huge pyre, and any remains left were buried in the land around the city .

The weaker creatures were usually burned to ash . Only the bones of the strong remained .

These bones now came pouring out of the earth like an army of angry ants .

The witnesses on the wall couldn't help but feel chills run down their spines . This wasn't their first time seeing the undead summoned, but it was their first time seeing it in such a high volume .

It was an unstoppable tide of ghouls .

Dumby walked slowly towards the Nuclear Ruler . Ghouls parted like the Red Sea, creating a path for it . They nodded their heads in deference as it pa.s.sed, like a va.s.sal would to his liege .

Huang Quan was beside himself now . My dad is being completely upstaged by this no-name, but d.a.m.n if that guy doesn't look incredibly cool right now!

I'm so jealous!

On the wall stood a dark-skinned behemoth of a man . His eyes narrowed . This was his chance!

"Golden Deity, now is the time! Wing Slas.h.!.+ Take its head!"
