Novel Full 799 The Demon's Greeting
The big, ultra-fat green fungus-like monster, with a giant rafflesia flower mouth on his back, glanced at the armed humans who had just entered his territory.
“Move, move, don’t get entangled by that slimy snake! Aim for the demon’s head.” A squad leader shouted to dodge the snakes and kept shooting at the demonic creature’s head.
“Argh!” A soldier screamed in agony when his head was bitten by a slimy snake. The light soon disappeared in his eyes, and he walked toward the demonic creature like a zombie.
“Timmy! Damn, he’s already a zombie.” One of the soldiers was furious and lost, but he had no choice but to blow up his comrade with a bomb.
*Boom!*
An explosion knocked the zombies into smithereens. The other soldiers immediately threw several grenades at the demonic creature.
*Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!*
Several explosions occurred, creating a puff of smoke. The demonic creature gave no sign of movement a moment after, causing the elite soldiers to stop their barrage of fire.
“Did it work? That demon blown up?” One of the soldiers muttered while moving backward. His hunch said the worst.
“Rearrange the position to the defensive formation. That demon will not die before its real body’s head is destroyed.” The squad leader beckoned all personnel to take a safe distance.
“That demon’s body is unbelievably tougher than steel. However, there’s another head when that big one has one that we haven’t destroyed yet?” A soldier sighed pessimistically.
“Use your penetrator gun. That demon will go berserk because of the explosion. Don’t die, my comrades.” The squad leader looked at his comrades, then glanced at the other two squad leaders.
“…” The other two squad leaders nodded. Everyone changed their weapons to the penetrator gun.
That demonic creature was too dangerous, and they had to destroy that monster as soon as possible. A zombie apocalypse might occur if that monster escaped from this place and ran rampant outside.
All of them knew that this monster extermination operation had wiped out the previous four squads. Still, they were prepared to die for their country.
“Roar!” The demonic creature roared in rage. His body swelled, and the rafflesia-lime mouth on his back spit out several maggot monsters.
“Support team, destroy those maggots. Esper team, come in and assist us! The main team is focused on destroying that demon’s head! Fire!” One of the squad leaders shouted and fired a shot with his penetrator gun at the demonic creature’s head.
*Bam* *Bam* *Bang!* *Boom!*
A series of penetrator gunshots were fired at the demonic creature’s head. Most of the bullets bounced off, but some managed to penetrate the steel-like defense.
*Roar!* The demonic creature curled up to protect his head. Dozens of maggot monsters rushed to attack, but they were soon shot to pieces by the modern advanced weapon.
“Esper team joined into battle.” A group of four people entered through the west door.
Another guard team re-sealed the fortified blockade door immediately to prevent the demonic creature from escaping.
“Yo, Joe. Look at that horrible monster. Let’s blow him up so I can go back to sleep.” A sleepy man rubbed his eyes and yawned.
“Elite team assembly. Don’t underestimate that monster, Steve. All right, my fellow soldiers. Now we have come and I as the strongest fighter will take over from here.” Joe raised his hand. A cluster of crimson flames of red light gathered together and formed a laser flame sword.
“Kill that demon. Follow me, my comrades!” Joe ran like lightning and slashed at the maggots he passed like tofu.
“Oh my, oh my… After ruining my sleep, I’ll give you a painful death, demon.” A lady in a black pajama throws several daggers in the air and controls them with her telekinesis.
“Ura!” The sleepy man posed like a bodybuilder, and his muscles immediately enlarged. His thin body transformed into a muscular superhuman.
“Fortify. Offensive.” A lady in a night butterfly mask muttered and spread her arms. She gave a buff to her comrades.
“Yeah, power boost! Die you demon!” Joe jumped into the wall and used that momentum to jump higher. He unleashed a superheated laser sword slash to split the demonic creature in two.
“Grr…” The demonic creature saw an opportunity. He released dozens of tentacles and whipped the man who was about to attack him with a heavy blow.
“Haha!” Joe cut through several tentacles with ease, but he missed one.
*Pa!*
A hard slap hit Joe’s cheek. He bounced and spun a few times before hitting the wall.
The self-proclaimed strongest fighter came late and was defeated in ten seconds. He was slapped into oblivion, then unconscious for real.
“That stupid head!” Steve facepalmed. He immediately dodged the tentacle attacks and threw chunks of rubble at the monster.
The situation became unfavorable as time passed. But, everyone in the hall still had to fight and exterminate the monster, whatever the reason.
“I see… High-level defense, regeneration, mini-monster production, acid poison, tentacles, great endurance, and tremendous destructive power. Despite all those terrifying abilities, that demonic creature can’t move freely.” Rhea finished analyzing their current target.
“Are we just going to take the chess pieces inside the monster?” Lynn asked just to be sure. She gulped her saliva nervously when she noticed the cold gaze of the girl next to her seemed to give off a merciless aura.
“No, the demonic creatures cannot be saved even if you take his chess pieces. They will still be demons and dangerous if left unchecked. I suggest an extermination.” Stormy made a suggestion.
“Yes, our current target is beyond salvation. The only solution for it is extermination. Lynn, assist me with your fox fire. After I release my finishing blow, burn the monster without residue. Always keep a safe distance of between ten to thirty meters from me as usual. We’re moving now.” Rhea gave her instructions and immediately jumped into the hotel building. She made a hole in a glass window on the ninth floor and entered through it.
Lynn immediately followed right behind as instructed.
“Wait, who are you guys?” One of the guard personnel positioned his shield to block two suspicious people who were approaching.
Unfortunately, Rhea just passed that person easily and quickly. She unsheathed her katana and split the fortified door into pieces.
*Slash* *Rumble*
The arrival of the uninvited guest surprised the vanguard squads. They immediately distanced themselves from the demonic creature by reflex.
“Strong reinforcements? Who?” One of the soldiers asked spontaneously.
“Hmm.” Rhea dashed at the demonic creature, covering a distance of thirty meters in less than a second. She unleashed hundreds of deadly slashes, inflicting a barrage of streaks of light.
“I am the storm that is approaching~” Stormy muttered in a rhythm and formed a thunderstorm cloud around that demonic creature.
*Rumble!* *Slashes*
A barrage of lightning struck the demonic creature, and hundreds of slashes took effect as Rhea landed back on the floor.
“Ghack!” The demonic creature widened his eyes in disbelief. His body was shattered into small pieces by an attack that he couldn’t see.
Rhea jumped back, and Lynn continued with a follow-up attack. Lynn summoned her blue fox fire and threw the dozens of fireballs at the demonic creature.
Soul fox’s fire could burn the weaker-level things without leaving any substance behind. It could even burn to one’s soul.
“!!!” The demonic creature wanted to scream in agony at the end of his existence, but he could do nothing.
A few seconds later, the demonic creature burned into nothingness. Only the surrounding mess was left to prove that a fierce battle had just occurred there.
“Wha-” The elite soldiers and espers gaped in astonishment. They find it difficult to kill that demonic creature. Still, these two people could eradicate the monster easily in just seconds.
“Ugh, my head…” Joe regained his senses and stood up, clutching his head. He looked left and right but couldn’t find the monster’s whereabouts. “Haha, once again, victory comes to justice!”
“Ahem, please excuse me. However, are you the expert team of the Esper Association?” A squad leader cleared his throat and asked politely.
“…” Rhea didn’t answer, and neither did Lynn. They waited a while, and fifteen chess pieces popped out of the remnants of the blue flame that had just been extinguished by itself.
Rhea swung her finger, and the chess pieces flew towards her. She put them in a dark pouch and then turned to leave.
‘Hou, quite impressive. So, you’re the executioners who are hunting us, huh…’ An evil voice sounded from behind.
“!?” Rhea unleashed a mighty slash at the source of the sound.
*Swissh*
The floor was split in half over twenty meters. A magic fluctuation was there, but the foreign entity dodged her attack just in time.
‘Hehe, it’s just my greeting. We’ll meet again somewhere soon…’ The evil voice slowly sounded further and further away before the magic fluctuation completely disappeared.
‘What happened, milady?’ Lynn asked confusedly, but she raised her guard.
‘A powerful deity tried to challenge me, but he just ran away. Lynn, we better get back to Japan now. We’ve hunted enough chess pieces for today.’ Rhea made a sudden decision.
‘All right.’ Lynn didn’t mind the change in plans.
‘Good. Don’t call me milady when around Ely or the Goddess of Light, got it?’ Rhea reminded Lynn. This fox girl somehow used that name to refer to her, but she didn’t want it to be heard by Elysia for some reason.
‘I understand.’ Lynn nodded slightly.
After that, Rhea took out a teleportation talisman and grabbed Lynn’s hand. They disappeared from the vicinity in an instant.
“What in the world?” Joe was astonished at the phenomenon that had just happened. The two black-robed people disappeared into thin air.
He checked where the two black-robed persons had been before, but there was no clue. He then glanced at his comrades. “Who are they really? Were you the one who exterminated that monster?”
“Unfortunately, no, Joe. The two men in black robes just now are powerful espers. They eliminated that monster with just one combination attack.” Steve shook his head.
