Chapter 377: Finishing with the bridge
Vlad and Freya had reached all the way to the other end of the bridge. Nearly every one of the drones in their path lay dead, and they managed to take down three of the Leviathan warriors. The insect-humanoid hit-and-run tactics had been effective, but as the number of drones protecting them diminished, they left flaws that the duo exploited to claim their lives. The young man and the Viking princess were exhausted, but there was a smile on their faces as they heard it.
"CRACK..."
The ominous sound of the bridge fracturing echoed through the air, signaling its impending collapse.
There were still nine insect-humanoid warriors in front of the duo, but instead of dashing forward to finish things, they nodded to each other and turned around. Freya’s energy exploded as she concentrated her Force and totemic power into her mace. She dashed forward and struck the ground with immense power.
"Earthshatter Quake!" she cried.
A seismic wave rippled across the entire bridge, violently shaking the ground beneath it. Cracks spider-webbed out from the point of impact, spreading far and wide. The already weakened structure groaned under the strain as support beams snapped, and the bridge began to sag.
Pieces of the bridge started to collapse as the structures that kept it in place had been shattered and could no longer bear the burden. Of course, that single strike wasn’t enough to take down the entire bridge that extended for hundreds of kilometers, but it weakened it sufficiently for the A.I. Chip to send a signal to Vlad.
[Beep! The structure has reached a critical point. It is now plausible to achieve its destruction with a blast at its center.]
A cold smile appeared on Vlad’s face as the runic lines covering his flesh glowed. He leaped into the air, ascending hundreds of meters before focusing on the bridge’s core. His entire body shimmered with red lightning, his eyes sharp as the A.I. Chip marked the exact spot where he should strike.
He knew that if he landed there now, he would do more than just take down the bridge.
"Inferno Comet Lightning Fall!" Vlad’s voice thundered across the sky.
