Perhaps in the eyes of others, this is a battle.

But for both parties involved, this is a war.

"clang!!"

Fang Zheng swung the dark sword in his right hand and slashed at Akkad in front of him. Akkad raised his double guns and pulled the trigger at Fang Zheng.

"Bang!"

But at the same time, Fang Zheng's left hand moved slightly, and with the sound of gunfire, a light bullet shot out from Fang Zheng's gun muzzle at an incredible angle, then turned a hundred degrees and flew upwards diagonally, hitting Arcade's shoulder. Arcade's body shook, and he immediately fell to his knees.

The next moment, the dark sword held tightly in Fang Zheng's right hand pierced through his chest.

"boom!!"

The flames rose, and in the blink of an eye, they enveloped Akkad. The raging flames burned Akkad's flesh and blood, and he turned into a pile of ashes in the blink of an eye. But soon, the flames began to expand, and then a shadow burst out from it. Then dozens of knights wearing armor, riding war horses, and covered in blood jumped out of the shadows, holding up their knights' lances and stabbing at Fang Zheng.

Fang Zheng was naturally not afraid of these undead knights who suddenly appeared in front of him. He took a step back, and then the greatsword in his right hand drew an arc on the ground. Soon, the knights of the Fran Undead Team appeared from the flames, raised their greatswords, and chopped down the undead in front of them.

This was a battle between infantry and cavalry, but facing the galloping cavalry, the knights of the Faran Undead Corps showed no fear at all. They swung their swords forward and collided with the galloping undead gate. Then, hundreds of undead cavalry suddenly stopped like a flood blocked by a dam. Faran's sword directly separated their bodies and the horses under them. The scattered blood and flesh began to burn before they fell to the ground, and then turned into ashes.

But soon, a series of dense gunshots rang out.

The Crusaders who were supposed to be dead before reappeared, raised their spears and pulled the triggers at the Fran knights in front of them. Beside them, the vampires and judges from the church also raised their weapons and worked together to attack the target in front of them.

But their eye sockets filled with blood and with pupils completely invisible showed that these people had long since lost their souls and lives.

"I didn't expect that the vampire's ability is so troublesome..."

Fang Zheng swung his sword and tore the enemy in front of him into pieces. At the same time, he was muttering to himself. At first, Fang Zheng thought that vampires only gained infinite life by absorbing the lives of others. But in fact, the body of a vampire is more like a warehouse of souls. Every soul that has been taken away by him is in this warehouse for emergency use. And likewise, as the master of this warehouse, the vampire can also release all the souls he has absorbed and enslave them to fight like a king.

Now, Akkad was using this method to fight a war of attrition with Fang Zheng. Most of his own ministers and soldiers were destroyed by the dragon's breath before. But for Akkad, this was obviously not a problem. The city had experienced too much death and war that night, and the blood and souls left by these people were his best food.

"Come on! Fang Zheng, let me see what you can do!"

As the shadows gathered again, Arkad fell from the sky with a big laugh, holding a long sword in his hand and slashing at Fang Zheng. Although it was reasonable that the two guns he had were more suitable for dealing with Fang Zheng, Arkad had already discovered that the other party was obviously not afraid of gunfire, so the deterrent effect of the gun was greatly reduced.

The dark greatsword collided with the long sword in Arcade's hand. Fang Zheng suddenly took a step forward. At the same time, the muscles on his right arm began to swell. A powerful force burst out from Fang Zheng's arm, directly cutting off the long sword in Arcade's hand, and then splitting his body in half.

When Arcade fell, the smile on his face had not yet disappeared. But soon a black dog as tall as two men jumped out from Arcade's shadow, opened its bloody mouth and bit Fang Zheng, biting Fang Zheng's arm.

"clang!!"

The black dog's sharp claws were enough to penetrate the hardest metal, but it didn't even leave a tooth mark on Fang Zheng's arm. On the contrary, because it bit Fang Zheng's arm too hard, several of the black dog's sharp teeth were immediately broken. It opened its mouth wide and wailed, trying to retreat. At the same time, a hand holding a gun stretched out from the black dog's mouth, aimed at Fang Zheng and pulled the trigger.

Along with the sound of gunfire came flames that were strong enough to melt everything.

"Oh my... I never expected the plot to develop like this."

At the same time, on the bell tower not far away, a young man in military uniform was looking at the battlefield below with a smile.

"Although it's not quite what the major expected, but... our major is a very stubborn person. Even if it's a dragon, he won't give in so easily..."

As he spoke, the young man looked at the river of blood flowing below.

"It's about time."

Having said this, the young man pulled out a dagger from his waist, then he raised the dagger without hesitation, stabbed it into his throat, and then cut off his head.

The next moment, the boy's body, head, and blood merged into the flowing river of blood.

“Hahahahaha!!”

And at this moment, the battle is still going on.

"Come on, keep killing me! Let me see how many times you can kill me! Can you do what humans can't do?"

"Although I don't want to say too much, but..."

Looking at Akkad who had been resurrected before him, Fang Zheng raised the greatsword in his hand.

"To be honest, I am half human too."

"Oh... so what? Are you going to continue to fight me like this? Or are you going to abandon it all and transform into a dragon again?"

Arcade looked at Fang Zheng proudly, with a fanatical glow in his eyes.

"But at least I haven't lost yet!"

"No."

However, just as Akkad finished his words, a strange man's voice rang out, a voice that did not belong to him, nor to Fang Zheng, or even to anyone else present.

"You lose, Arcade."

"oh?"

Hearing the sound, Akkad and Fang Zheng turned to look in the direction of the sound, only to see a bright red, burning airship slowly approaching from a distance.

"Lose, who are you talking about? Are you saying I will lose? I will be..."

Arcade suddenly stopped talking here. He stood there blankly, motionless. Not only that, the undead that were originally controlled by Arcade also seemed to be crazy at this moment. Countless bright red eyes emerged from the shadows and began to flow out crazily.

"What's going on?"

Looking at Akkad in front of him, Fang Zheng couldn't help but be stunned. He could see that the souls and powers that were originally absorbed and condensed by Akkad were now rapidly draining out of his body, like a flood that broke through a dam!

"I... I am..."

Not only that, at the same time, Akkad's original appearance began to become blurred. His original clothes, attire, appearance, everything disappeared and melted into the depths of darkness.

"how so?"

Seeing this scene, not only Fang Zheng, but also Silas and Integula in the distance were equally shocked. If Arkad was completely burned by Fang Zheng, then they could still accept it. But now, this is obviously not what Fang Zheng did!

"What on earth have you done, Major?"

"Hahaha……"

Along with Integula's roar, the major's laughter rang out again.

"Need I say more? Killing Arcade... This is my mission, my life goal... Throughout history, the best way to kill a cruel tyrant is to poison him... The same goes for Arcade. As the king of vampires, I don't have the power to confront him head-on like that dragon. After all, I am just a fragile, weak, and incompetent human. However, even a human can kill an undead monster with enough skills..."

"poison?"

Hearing the major's answer, Fang Zheng also frowned. He didn't think there was any poison that could work on vampires, or was there another implication?

"He absorbed Lieutenant Schrodinger's life force, so... apart from assimilating with Lieutenant Schrodinger, what else will he become?"

Lieutenant Schrodinger?

Hearing this, Fang Zheng suddenly remembered the boy he met in the Rio de Janeiro stadium, who was killed by him and then quietly resurrected. Wait, Schrödinger... Oh my god... No way!

"That was Schrödinger's cat, which could recognize and observe itself. But now, this cute little cat has been integrated into the lives of millions of people. It can no longer recognize itself, let alone observe itself. So, if it cannot recognize itself and cannot observe its own existence... will it still exist in this world?"

“…”

Hearing this, Intergula's expression changed.

"The current Akkad is nothing more than a collection of imaginary numbers... He exists everywhere, and he doesn't exist there. In the end, it seems that I am the winner of this war, not Akkad, not the Vatican, not the vampires, and not the strange dragon... In the end, this war is still a victory for mankind..."

“…”

As if to explain the major's words, Arcade's eyes slowly began to close. He had lost focus and could no longer even recognize his own existence.

but……

"You mean, because he has assimilated with millions of lives, he can no longer recognize himself, right?"

Fang Zheng raised his head and looked at the airship in the distance.

"As a powerless human being, you really surprise me. But unfortunately, human power has its limits..."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng raised the greatsword in his right hand, and soon, flames appeared from the blade.

"Since there are millions of him who are unable to recognize himself, then as long as there is only one left, isn't that enough? You have to remember this, old bat, you owe me a favor!!"

Along with Fang Zheng's roar, the pitch-black sword stabbed heavily into the ground.

The next moment, a roaring burst of bright red flames shot up into the sky, covering the entire city.
