Chapter 244 244: The Frozen Dead Hiding In The Snow [2]
There was a huge wall of ice, extremely tall, like a wave over twenty metres, had crashed onto the land from the sea—the ice was more than several hundred metres thick and inside this cold, frigid frozen land were millions of undead and mutants of all stages... as if they were buried in the earth millions of years ago... some were starting to thaw and pull themselves from the frozen wall that dwarfed Alexander.
"Oh, wow..."
"So many.... If they broke free, not just New Haven but... even the north would be in danger..."
What do I do... If I stay longer to wipe these zombies out, then getting north gets harder and harder with the increase in their power and evolutions... what if I am too late?
Is splitting up the right choice?
Then what if my beloved women die while I piss about going north... do I wait alone... with a select few as they push ahead? Those that can flay and adapt to the cold?
[Alexander! Calm down!]
Suddenly, Alexander's mind went blank as Sapphira forced his mind to focus and stopped him from panicking.
"Brunhild, what do you suggest..."
Alexander spoke in a calm tone as he asked his mother-turned-lover, who floated beside him, her white wings and pure beauty almost making him jealous of whoever created her...
"Well, I suggest we split into groups—one large group goes ahead with you while the others clear this mess... After all, the mutations and evolutions mean they are far stronger, and we must kill them before they melt and cause problems."
"No...."
He looked up at her face with a wry smile and leaned out to touch her soft wings that folded around his finger as he pulled her close and kissed Brunhild's lips, his tongue pushing deep into her mouth and caressing her delicate and sensitive insides.
"I will remain with a small group—I will attack and exterminate them all... While you, Valulaela and Kaliara lead the entire army north and eradicate everything that isn't human or succubus, clear the path for our future land, and I will meet you after fighting through these insects."
"Alex...Mmmnph!?"
Alex kissed her once more, their tongues coiling together, dancing, with a long, passionate kiss before pulling apart.
"Mother, please trust in me—I need you to lead them north and create a base... Also, I want you to take Francesca and Carmine... They are not fully recovered, and I want them safe... "
"Alexander... Okay."
Brunhild reluctantly agreed after realising he had made up his mind and flew off to give the orders to the leaders while Alex descended to meet the women who would stay with him.
Amy, Sarah, Himari, Ayami, Maria, and Althea were the ones he chose to join him, with Laura and Mildred taking command of the ghouls thanks to their special skills and abilities able to boost them in battle as much as he could.
The Lamia and Slime Megan and Patricia would also remain.
"Laura, Mildred... Protect Brunhild for me, okay? Make sure Francesca and Carmine are healed and ready to meet me north..."
"Alexander... I will protect them all with my life."
He hated the thought of splitting up, so he stopped as they were hugging, "Let's meet after three days and switch members... there is no need to rush. Let's thoroughly clear the way, search for possible supplies and items and make a base camp along the way. You and Mildred deal with that, okay?"
"Understood!"
"Darling... you would miss us so much you changed the plan? Fufu...."
"Ah, I don't want to be apart from you all, my cute women, more than three days from now!"
With Brunhild kissing him once more, Alexander watched as the thousands of Vesta and Humans split into six smaller groups before turning northwest, heading around the snow.
Thankfully, McAlister created the item needed to communicate long ago in the forsaken village, so he gave them to all the captains and commanders, while Alex took four to give to Sarah, Amy and Sylvia as Brunhild and Valuleala led the huge army.
"Phew... I am happy you were there..."
For Sarah and Amy, these words were directed to them, but for the goddess who was guiding and helping him, she made him realise the thing he hated most.
Long separations; thus, he changed the plan to something which might increase the time slightly but would also allow him to see all his women every three days, allowing them all to get experience and grow stronger as they fought on two fronts.
"Now then, shall we kill some zombies?" He turned to the several women standing with their weapons, waiting for his command and looking at the slow-moving, half-frozen monsters with eager eyes."
Alexander unfurled his wings as his eyes glowed crimson, and his hands grasped both his swords, the black and white blades shimmering in the frozen landscape, before shooting into the sky and piercing downwards towards the frozen stage five zombies.
The impact shattered the shallow ice, allowing over a dozen of them free, causing his hands to tremble from the impact as Sarah and Amy rushed forward to crush the skulls of the enemy—he flicked his hand as a storm of spears decimated the weaker mutants with ease as the women charged forward.
Only Maria and Althea remained beside Alexander with their white wings and deadly spears as he shot forward and began slashing and piercing zombie after mutant, slaughtering them with ease and showing off the difference between the evolved stage seven ghoul and the mere mutants.
Alexander sliced through the necks and limbs of the enemies, cutting them into pieces with ease, while Sarah, Amy and Himari used their weapons and strength to shatter skulls and rip bodies apart with ease.
The first wave was dead in less than ten minutes, but the ice was damaged and began to crack for the second wave, as Alexander noticed he would likely evolve again soon if they kept fighting at this pace.
However, as Alexander landed to rest, a sound of cracking echoed through the frozen wasteland, followed by an eerie and ominous cry as something monstrous crawled from the cracks of the icy wall, its body covered in frost and ice, yet a strange energy leaked from its body.
"I guess we couldn't be super lucky... It seems some of them are like those huge giants from the ice field... Evolved to adapt to the cold temperature."
Alexander muttered as he drew both swords and gazed at the five-metre giant humanoid that glared at him with a hungry expression.
Its muscles bulged as it threw a fist towards Alex, whose wings opened and blocked the strike with ease, but he still slid back in the ice slightly.
Alexander unleashed his aura and pushed the monster back as Maria and Althea stabbed their spears into the chest of the creature, causing it to roar and thrash about before ripping the weapon from its chest and throwing it towards Alex, who swung his swords and cut through it.
The giant roared as blood poured from its wounds before grabbing two stage four zombies and crushing their heads before devouring their flesh, healing rapidly before its muscles began to grow and pulsate with flashing eyes glaring at Alexander, who stepped forward to fight it.
"Damn... they can eat each other to regenerate here?"
"Darling~ let me help!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Amy's powerful magnum blew several of the monster's thick bones apart, making the soft, exposing the soft, fleshy chest.
He shot forward with his sword and ripped into its chest cavity, slicing through the ribs and ripping its heart out before flinging it into the air and slashing the sky dozens of times until it was shredded into strands.
Alexander landed as he wiped the blood from his white blade, and Amy fired rounds into the head of the stage five zombie that was pulling itself from the wall, the skull and brain just popping like a balloon filled with minced meat.
"Sarah, Himari, Ayami—clear the ice while Maria and Althea assist me. Once we get tired, we'll slow down and start alternating to take a rest! Megan and Patricia support Athlea and switch in when the other's get tired!"
Alexander shouted as he shot into the air once more, followed by Maria and Althea, as they pierced the brains of over a dozen stage-five zombies before landing and watching the Lamia and Slime use their long tails and tendrils to pierce the skulls with ease.
