Return of the last survivor

Chapter 63: Dragon's Might

After instructing his AI butler, Merlin used some mana to pick up the collapsed blob of blackness and made his way to the nearest window. Opening it, he took one large step into the outside air.

Not using any mana to keep his body in the air, he began falling parallel to the glass exterior of the Colossus.

Just as he was about to reach the ground, the black ball in his hand recognised Merlin's wishes and transformed into a suit.

Just before he was going to hit the ground, Merlin used wind magic to float in the air, with the only difference that he applied the wind magic from a small circle on his palms and heels.

'Fufufufu, I finally did it. That scene which I always wanted to try out. Hahaha. Now all that is remaining is a super-hero landing!! Let's go to the battlefield quickly, or else I will lose the chance! Kekeke.'

As Merlin's thoughts began wandering into reminiscing his chuunibyou years before university in his past life, his body was instinctively following his orders to use the most efficient way to travel 10km.

Back at the battlefield, the number of zombies had been reduced to around 1/10th of their original size. However, it seemed like the zombie general realised that sending their Tier 1s one at a time was not effective, and would result in them losing powerhouses. Therefore, it had not sent even a single one of the Tier 1s after the lich was killed, and all the team leaders had nothing to do for almost 2 hours.

At this point, an extremely large amount of mana was released. Sensing this, all the team leaders, including Kyle, the only Tier 1 in the sanctum excluding Merlin and his wolf.

Without another word, they all rushed out from the building they were resting in and charged toward the mana source.

At this moment in the air above the battlefield, Merlin was hovering in the sky, concealing his presence using [Presence Concealment], waiting for a chance, a chance which just arrived.

"Keke, my time has come. I will ascend from the lowly level of a human and evolve into a superhero!! Here it comes!! A superhero landing!!!!!!"

Seeing the large number of Tier 1s charging towards the team captains, while the latter was doing the same, Merlin used a significant amount of mana to boost his speed to land just before the two parties clashed.

Just as Kyle and the rest were preparing to engage, they heard sonic booms coming from above them, along with an even more intense mana fluctuation, which caused all those present to feel difficulty breathing.

Some of the lower level creatures were pressured into kneeling, both zombies and humans alike. This was akin to the descent of a god.

*Rumble*

As soon as Merlin landed in the ground, he caused a large portion of the battlefield to cave in. Dust flew everywhere, along with broken pieces of glass, metal and road.

When the dust cleared, the stronger team leaders, and the Tier 1 zombies saw the cause of this commotion. It was a human covered in pitch black armour, resembling the deepest part of the void. Although he was kneeling on the ground with one knee by his chest and the other on the ground, the aura he emanated was that of a ruler. It was as though he was the lord of the battlefield, and all beings under him had to surrender to his might.

This was the passive effect of the title [Asura: Enemy of the Gods]. It caused all those with lower levels than him to feel pressured by even a little of his mana.

Looking up, Merlin noticed the Tier 1 zombies, and a malicious smile crept up on his face. Ignoring anything else, he stood up and dashed, appearing next to a Skeleton Tier 1, the creatures known for the strongest defence.

Reaching out, he grabbed the creature's head before it could react. Using this 'strong weapon' he acquired, Merlin began his farming. He currently needed a quite a few Tier 1s to fully satisfy his need for stat points.

Within 12 seconds, he had killed off all of the Tier 1s, excluding the general, who was also at the peak of Tier 1, similar to himself. Furthermore, it was incredibly smart, which allowed it to control such a large army.

Using [Inspect], Merlin read his status. Although he seemed extremely carefree when battling, he was very calculative in reality. Knowing the enemy and its weaknesses was the basic principle Merlin followed.

The experiences from his previous life had ingrained this form of action into his subconscious.
