n“Phasing Crocodile Breath: Monstrous Laser!”
nBOOM!
nIndividually, psionic, super, and pure core energy were volatile source of energy. When they were combined in such quantities and ratios to facilitate the revival of the Crocodile, not all the energy was used up.
nThe residual energy was enough for the revived Crocodile to attack.
nThe Draconic Crocodile did not hesitate, making use of its energetic power reactor, this Crocodile controlled all the energy and unleashed it as a beam.
nFor a brief moment, it was like an angel of death passed through.
n“DEFEND!” Hunter Master Lydia roared even as she took the lead.
n“Lydia Specialty: Unmovable Heaven’s Gate; Wind!”
nUnder the control of this powerful warrior, a picture of heaven seemed to be painted in the air. Then from heaven came unadulterated heaven wind, a wind accompanied by a white mist that raged to form a tsunamic gate defense.
nHunter Master Lydia was not alone, even as Geralt and Heimdall struggled to shift to the back and escape the attack, Core Protector Shanks focused on protecting them. Even at this, the other Superhumans used their own abilities.
nDozens of shields were erected making use of different types of energies.
nAfter all these hasty preparations, the death angel’s attack finally hit.
nBam! Bam! Bam!
nIt was just one attack, but the impact and consequent sound that followed was like a charging battalion of Hell warriors battered against the dozen energy shields.
nPop!
nHunter Master Lydia’s shield held the most since it was the sturdiest, but facing the brunt of the full attack, the shield popped in just a few seconds!
nThe others were mostly shattered with indomitable force!
nHorrified, all the Grade C Superhumans used their various life-preservation techniques to brace themselves for the impact that would surely come.
nOn impact, most felt like they were suddenly flung in space.
nTheir innards turned, their intestines churned, it was a terrible experience but their incredible teamwork to weaken most of the attack worked. Most of them suffered terrible injuries only, but there was an unlucky one.
nThe Grade C Summoner regretted not having a defensive contracted beast.
nAll his beasts were equally decent offensive powerhouses, this became his bane as due to the lack of a defensive beast, the momentum of the incredible laser breath could not be stopped as he was roasted to a black crisp.
n“Ahhh….!” The screams of death of this warrior were his last words.
n“ROAR!” The Draconic Crocodile roared victoriously at them.
n“…”
nThe Grade C Superhumans were silenced in defeat.
nThis was the 11th Grade C Superhuman death today!
nHaving expelled the residual energy from the complicated mechanism to recover from death, the Crocodile felt a little drained and was now weaker.
nThis didn’t matter much though since it was still a fearsome powerhouse to face for any Grade C Superhuman. As for those who confronted it, after the Ultimate Blood Sacrifice, Geralt and Heimdall felt weaker than ever before.
nThey may have damaged the beast, but it did not come without a price.
nThey could make use of their trademark attack only one more time, but did it matter?
nThis question was hard to answer, none of them knew how many times Clown’s Bio-Mechanic Monstrosities could use that mechanism to revive themselves, Clown really broke the laws of physics and science this time.
nIf this psychotic terrorist didn’t get their respect yet but only hate before, after these subsequent happenings, Clown finally received what he expected.
nThe Grade C Superhumans felt respect and fear for this psychopath.
nFeeling their fear, Clown ruthlessly fed on it.
n“Hahaha…!”
n“Hehehe…!”
n“Hohoho…!”
n“Weaklings, join me, surrender to the order of chaos and you may receive an opportunity to live with a high status in my new world of chaos”.
nThe Grade C Superhumans felt humiliated at his words but they could not respond, at this moment, Clown had the power to back his words.
nFeeling the draining morale of the Grade C Alliance and the subtle reaction of some of them to Clown’s words, Core Protector Shanks was provoked.
n“We can’t fail!” His voice reverberated with power and confidence.
nOriginally, he simply wanted to say some comforting and motivating words but he changed as soon as he started. He turned to look at them. “Do you really want this kid to bring us all to our knees?”
n“We are Grade C Superhumans!”
n“We’re f*cking warriors!”
n“We stand at the pinnacle of strength in Planet Darvis”.
n“Being a Grace C Superhuman entails more than a name, it comes with a responsibility, it is our duty to rid our planet of threats like this”.
n“Warriors don’t run from war and death, we embrace it!”
nNot feeling what he expected, he felt a little disappointed but he did not let this get to him, he increased the tempo, his voice increased.
n“WE’RE WARRIORS!”
n“Don’t give up on me now”.
n“Let’s show this f*cker what we’re made of”.
n“We never retreat!”
n“We never surrender!”
nCore Protector Shanks no longer cared of the reaction of the Grade C Superhumans behind him, lost in the passion already, he led the charge again.
n“I may not be a genius like Norman, but at least I’m smart”.
n“There’s no inexhaustible energy, when drained enough, they’ll fall!”
n“Let’s wear these beasts to death!”
n“Let’s make them dread the day they challenged the warriors of Darvis!”
n“SHANKS SPECIALTY: QUADRUPLE BEAST DOMINATION!”
nCore Protector Shanks’ brave move pumped most of the warriors up. They lost their misgivings, instead they felt ashamed for being intimidated by a junior that only rose to fame a few generations below theirs.
n“We can’t let a junior bully us!”
n“If I retreat today or surrender, I won’t be able to face my Master even in death, this needs to end here and now!”
n“TODAY, WE EITHER DIE OR WE DIE!”
nThey all exploded with power.
nClown responded excitedly to their enthusiasm. “Hahaha…!”
n“This is CHAOS!”
n…
nAfter managing to convince Geralt and the Shadow Progenitor Heimdall to lend their power to the war efforts, Emak ignored every other superhuman that he knew and simply focused on one.
nThe While Flame may only be an average Grade C Warrior, but her support abilities were simply too valuable in a war of this scale.
nWith her support, the Grade C Alliance stood a better chance.
nThis was why Emak gave his all to locating her pocket space.
nIt took all the experience that this Shadow Elementalist had accumulated through centuries, including his intuition and a lot of other coincidences before he was finally able to locate her pocket space.
nSince their affinities were different, entering her pocket space was hard but as a professional smuggler before becoming a Grade C Superhuman, Emak always found a way and today again, he found a way.
nBzzz!
nAs soon as he teleported in, he froze as 2 pair of eyes pinned him down.
nInstantly, this Shadow expert’s face turned red as he looked away. He didn’t look away for long though as the iconic face of the muscular man flashed back in his head, shocked, he turned back to look.
nOn seeing the familiar face, Emak literally shook in emotion as he fell to his knees in respect. “S-senior…, you survived?”
nJon Stones sighed before letting go of her. “Emak…”
nBy now, of course they already finished their primal pleasurable activities as humans and they were simply enjoying each other’s company before the Shadow Elementalist came.
nEmak’s appearance reminded them of the situation of the outside world.
n“How is it going?”
n“Not good”. Emak wanted to elaborate but before he did, he paused before bowing his head. “Senior, thank you again for 130 years ago”.
n“Without your help, I would have never survived the Zombie Abomination Bear!” This warrior sincerely expressed his gratitude.
nAfter Jon Stones nodded in acknowledgement, he no longer held back as he narrated everything to the number of Grade C Superhumans that already died before he told them of the mission that Core Protector Shanks gave him.𝑜𝑽𝗅xt.𝗇𝓔t
nJon Stones stood up. “9 Grade C Superhumans dead…”
n“This…, is really unprecedented”. His tone betrayed his astonishment.
n“I admit, even in death, Newton’s brat’s achievement would remain a legend though a dark one in the history of our planet”.
n“Sir, will you help us?” Emak pleaded.
nJon Stones smiled bitterly. “I would have loved to help now but I am not back to 100%, it’s almost impossible for me to fully recover in a short time but I have a secret ability that can accelerate my recovery”.
n“I will need some time alone”. He turned to face Eleanor and without any misgivings about Emak’s feelings kissed her passionately on the lips.
nAfter separation, he clenched his fists. “Go fight for our planet”.
n“I will join you later”.
nEleanor did not hesitate, she nodded firmly before donning her war gear and turning to leave with Emak. Neither of them hesitated.
nBzzz!
n…
nBOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
nFor over an hour and 30 minutes, the war raged.
nDespite the White Flame’s appearance, not much could be done about the offensive aspect. Of course, with her healing, more Grade C Superhumans survived but the lethality of the Bio-Mechanic beasts was still next level.
nAfter so long of intense battle, the Draconic Crocodile was already weakened thrice with the other 2 Bio-Mechanic beasts being weakened each once.
nDespite this, they remained powerful.
nJust today, 15 Grade C Superhumans were already dead!
nAfter the death of the 15th Grade C Superhuman, Core Protector Shanks could no longer take it anymore. No matter how arrogant and optimistic he was, he had to accept it, they were losing badly.
n‘This can’t keep going on’. This bloodied old man felt despair for the first time in centuries.
n‘This can’t go on’.
n‘This definitely can’t keep going on’.
n‘Something needs to change’.
nCore Protector Shanks cracked his brain for an answer but none came, only one alternative remained in his mind.
nWatching Clown’s Bio-Mechanic beasts dominate, his eyes shone with determination the next moment as he made a difficult decision.
n‘This is the only alternative’.
nBzzz!
nTo the shock of all the Grade C Superhumans present, Core Protector Shanks tore the fabric of space open before teleporting out of the battlefield.
n“…?!”
nShock, fear, disbelief, they all gripped the fighting Superhumans.
n“Did…, he escape???!” They were horrified.
