Doomsday Pillars

Sydney Harbour Bridge, North of Sydney City.

The Sydney Harbour Bridge is an Australian heritage. Connecting the Sydney central business district and the North Shore. Before the apocalypse, the view of the bridge, the harbour, and the nearby Sydney Opera House is widely regarded as an iconic image of Sydney, and of Australia itself.

As his eyes gazed at this glorious heritage, Malcolm, the prime minister and commander in chief of Sydney city looked at the battle at that very spot of heritage from the Sydney Governor House located 1 kilometer south of the bridge.

Seeing the current state of the bridge, Malcolm could not help but sigh deeply. Regret and frustration appeared on his face as his palms clenched tightly and slowly turned red due to how hard he clenched them.

24 hours of continuous battle had happened there, with the soldiers and zombies fighting tooth and nail to seize ownership of this important choke point. The soldiers had tried their best to defend this bridge, regardless if it was because the bridge is the pride of their motherland or to protect their loved ones from danger. But in effort to protect the bridge, all of them had sacrificed their life valiantly in the process.

Unfortunately for these nameless heroes that had bravely sacrificed themselves, the worst possible situation happened 30 minutes ago as the Spirit Barrier was finally smashed into pieces by the relentless attacks of stage 3 black zombies and stage 4 white zombies.

The barrier that had protected the Sydney Harbor bridge for more than 8 hours was finally broken down. When the barrier was destroyed, the zombie hordes quickly crossed the bridge and entered the downtown area of Sydney city.

The soldiers that were defending behind the barrier before it was destroyed had tried their best to stop the approaching waves of zombies. However, due to the fact that 90 percent of Sky realm fighters was currently at Cooks River in the south; fighting the zombie hordes who crossed the river, the soldiers at the bridge could not do anything and were immediately overrun by the zombies.

But a moment later, when all hope seemed lost, a warship, more precisely a destroyer, appeared to be approaching Sydney Harbour. It was quickly followed by canon bombardments to the north shore of the bridge. 

When the destroyer reached the harbour, More than 1 hundred elite fighters came out from the destroyer as they immediately flooded the bridge and defended it from the zombies until not a single zombie was able to penetrate into the city anymore.

Seeing dozens of zombies manage to enter the city, Malcolm swiftly ordered all the Sky realm fighters whose job was protecting him to quickly kill all the zombies. They were the last fighters he could send. But with the situation having turned to the worst, it's best to save the civilians first. After doing that, he continued to watch the situation at the bridge with full concentration.

A fierce battle took place at the Sydney Harbour bridge between the zombie hordes and the troops led by a middle aged woman. From the sky, one could see the endless wave of colorful zombies held by the blue-camo line of fighters.

Karra, the commander of Fatahillah destroyer, the girl who used to be a victim of the tsunami, ironically is a Water Magus. Karra calmly stood on the front line of the fight with several water balls around her as she quickly moved the water balls and threw them at the approaching zombies.

[Whip Splash - Tier 1 Water Spell]

Each blow would drop a group of zombies to the ground. It might not be a deadly attack, but with the zombies laying on the floor flat, it's much easier for her troops to kill them. Kara was brilliantly able to maneuver the water splash. It's an example of using a simple spell to create maximum results.

On her right side stood Rangga,member of the Deathsquad; with his two swords and martial arts could easily overwhelm several zombies at once. Meanwhile, on the left side stood Russel, the strongest fighter from Indonesian Navy frog soldier, with his dagger and rifle.

However, the strongest fighter among them is the brown skinned man with a muscular body full of tattoos who stands behind the woman. Makali, a Lightning Magus and a shaman from Papua. With the double-edged halberd he had, Makali fought and decapitated the zombies that approached him easily. The way he fought was truly mystical as he moved around the zombie horde as if he danced with them.

When he 'danced' with the zombies, he also occasionally cast his lightning spell when he felt that he was going to be surrounded.

[Chain Lightning - Tier 3 Lightning Spell]

Erratic streams of lightning appeared and shot towards the crowd of zombies as the lightning leaped from one zombie to another, electrocuting and incinerating them. With this one spell, half a dozen zombies were completely scorched.

These troops might be a level below Alex's elite team, but they are more than enough to defend the bridge against the zombie hordes.

It was not long since they started to defend themselves against the horde when suddenly they felt the zombie horde's aggressive attack rapidly slacked off. Karra could see the zombie horde began to separate themselves as half of them turned around and retreated.

Upon realizing the situation, she did not let this opportunity pass and immediately ordered her elite troops to push forward and chase the zombie horde, killing as many zombies as possible. Her troops continued to pursue the zombie hordes as they crossed over the bridge until they entered the North Shore region.

However, at that location, Karra began to get overwhelmed by the zombies because she did not have enough troops to fight thousands of zombies at once. The reason she was able to defend the zombie horde's relentless attack before is because of the limited space the bridge had that severely restricted the zombie hordes from using their numerical advantages against her troops.

At this very moment, a commotion suddenly appeared at the rear side of the zombie horde, north of Karra's troops current location. Several explosions could be seen in the distance as black plumes of smoke appeared and slowly enveloped the battlefield, followed by a girl charging through the sea of zombies as she shot out multiple fire arrows.

Each arrow would create an explosion and kill the surrounded zombies into bits and pieces. From behind the girl, dozens of fighters came forward to kill the zombies from behind. 

The zombie horde quickly turned even more chaotic by the sudden flank attack. Karra was stunned by the sudden appearance of unknown troops, but her shock did not stopped there. Amidst the crowd of zombies, she could see a figure that shook her entire being. A figure of half-human and half-tiger with golden furry skin and black patches on its body appeared in the middle of the zombie sea, fiercely crushing a stage 3 zombie with its bare hand easily.

The figure roared loudly.

*ROAR*

[Beast Transformation - Lynx - stage 2]

[Enhances strength]

[Enhances speed]

The half-human half-tiger figure was seen running with its hands and feet while crushing all the zombies in its way. Within a few minutes, the dense zombie horde began to disperse, elevating the pressure off Karra's team.

The lynx figure walked over to Karra as she cautiously looked at the figure. She did not take the initiative to attack because of their help earlier. In seconds, the furry body began to quickly disappear as the person beneath it appeared, a beautiful young blonde girl, Cindy.

When she turned back to her human form from her lynx form, Cindy was dazed for a few seconds and went naked. Once she started to wake up from her daze, she hurriedly opened her storage ring and put on her clothes. This is the reason why she is always reluctant to use this technique in a fight. It always left her naked!

When Karra saw this dressed girl up close, she finally recognized who the girl was. Cindy, the girl she met and knew in Bali.

Karra was about to open her mouth when Cindy suddenly grumbled furiously.

"That cold hearted Colonel! Forgetting about us and leaving us in Brisbane! Luckily, Alex told me about this… I almost miss the fight!!!"

This troop is the 2nd platoon led by Cindy and Dinda, the partner of Arief's platoon. Apparently, Arief left their platoon to join Alex's team.

She quickly turned around while still grumbling about the old man. She then immediately entered the battlefield again with a sword in one hand and a whip in another, leaving the dumbfounded Karra there gaping with her mouth open.

When the sun is directly above them, only a quarter of zombies can still be seen roaming around Sydney city.

The battle of Sydney had ended.
