Chapter 856 Turn of the Tide
"Not good!" Kraft shouted as he pulled out a gun similar to No Mercy. ''Just Business', a 12 gauge short barrel shotgun, with the same miniature fox cravings on the wood handle itself, had been brought out magically from the depths of Kraft's coat.
Each time he fired Just Business, fox silhouettes would appear on the handle to temporarily break open the shotgun and aid Kraft with reloading the gun.
The foxes on No Mercy had started doing the same thing, holding onto bullets at the side, waiting for the right time to reload them. It made Kraft look as if he had a platoon of foxes hovering around his arms playing with bullets and shotgun shells, to enable his insane trigger happy fingers. He was firing at a rate much faster than any gunmen ever lived, except for specialised magic casters transmuting their mana into bullets.
If he wanted to, he could have used his chi to transmute it into bullets, but he was not in favour of wasting it. Why bother using chi when there were other ways to stop an enemy? The modern world had enough inventions to kill stuff. Might as well make use of it instead of straining oneself.
While one man was casually wreaking havoc, the same could not be said about Jin who was pouring all of his Maqi into the ritual circle where the ground started to draw lines by itself. The ritual circle clearly needed more than just one person to complete it, and Jin was absolutely pushing the limits to create the Banishment Circle.
Still, the five 'private' contractors on site had nearly forgotten that this was technically a collaborative effort between them and the Royal Battalions. Royal Snake General Hou Fei and Royal Tiger General Ya Bai knew the moment the hand tentacles started to multiply that it was now their job to assist the ones on the frontline to the best of their abilities.
Attack Helicopters fired their remaining missiles from a distance and sprayed their bullets while light artillery from the border wall emplacements was discharged to intercept the hand tentacles. It did provide a small reprieve, but the pressure to succeed was mounting from within the Loopa Ooofpa.
Elder Ba Tan had thrown caution out of the window and used taboo magic by offering part of his body as sacrifices for the Loopa Ooofpa to reach the highest pinnacle it could achieve.
As the hand tentacles multiplied, so did the Bone Spirit Infused Demons coming out from Loopa Ooofpa. "What the hell?" Mr Know-It-All could literally feel the earth trembling at the colossal manifestation, and they knew that even if they could remove the Loopa Ooofpa in time, the massive tsunami of demons could not be stopped by the border walls.
They literally needed something with the might of a nuclear missile to stop the horde from flowing into the cities.
"Hahahahah! You think we will be beaten by you Royal Zodiacs?! DIE!!!!" Elder Ba Tan happily cried out within the monstrosity as he felt his dantian core invaded by the hungry sentient flesh. "All hail the Banned Emperor and his magnificence! May he be reborn once more!" Ba Tan shouted with his increasingly coarse voice as Loopa Ooofpa consumed him slowly by pushing its flesh into his airways and orifices.
That caused the Unceasing Hunger to once again explode its production and in a matter of minutes, things turned for the worst. As soon as the hand tentacles were damaged, they instantly grew back their palms and started to retaliate back against the aggressors while still aiming to kill the five highly-skilled private contractors.
The hand tentacles aimlessly picked up the ground soil, trees, and even Bone Spirit Infused Demons and later throwing at whatever that was shooting at them. There was no discrimination to what they were throwing. Whatever was in their vicinity, the hand tentacles would use it.
This inevitably caused some of the Bone Spirit Infused Demons to loop over the border walls. While there was an invisible defensive barrier to prevent aerial demons from passing through, the projectile's force was strong enough to penetrate it, thereby causing a number of demons to land in the evacuated city.
Both the Royal Zodiac Generals were cursing madly when they saw the demons being flung over them. However, the only consolation was that the situation behind the border walls was well taken care of.
The provincial police, along with the Royal Tiger SWAT teams had assembled to intercept the incoming monster projectiles. Some of the firefighters as well as their elites, the Royal Rabbits' Disaster Assistance and Rescue Team (DART) also joined the fray, in case of casualties and were ready to support the SWAT with manpower if needed.
Yet, all these were just band-aid solutions to the current situation when the final huge wave of demons was still approaching them.
"System! Remember what you told me about having a contract with the land?" Jin asked as he was still pouring his precious Maqi into the Banishment Circle as it grew larger. Now the dungeon supplier had resorted to using his Dark Sludge crystals as a supplement to avoid potentially fainting from the over usage.
"Is User suggesting to take control over the land temporarily?" The System asked.
"Yes!!! Let that thing drop into the ground or build a bigger wall in front of the border walls. Heck, teleporting all these monsters into our vicinity would also be a good idea! We just need to stop them before they hit the cities! Do it, no matter the cost!" Jin panted as he looked at the Loopa Ooofpa still relentless in its production of monsters.
"If they asked, we could use this Banishment Circle as an excuse," Zieg suggested, knowing his master would not get away if the System started a large scale teleportation.
"I could also just wipe their memories away with a snap of a finger..." Kraft felt that he was being ignored once more.
"When it comes to that, we will settle it somehow. So, is it possible or not!?" Jin asked under duress.
"System does not disappoint."
