Chapter 1007 What New Hell Was This?

Meanwhile… The battle progressed smoothly for the elite team and the special team in the interior of the red zone. 

With the support from the undead unit and the imprisonment of the two level 150 isons, the rest of the isons in the swarm were taken care of rather quickly. Even though their levels were nothing to scoff at, the fight still ended without a single casualty. 

However, as the last of the insects from the swarm were cleared, everyone was beginning to notice the obvious problem. They still did not have any means to deal with the two Level 150 isons!

They were sitting in their cages and hissing for now, but what about when the cooldown of the cages ran out? No one had any idea about this skill, so they couldn't help but become apprehensive.

But the person in charge did not seem to give any thought to these two deadly creatures. Instead, Kouske calmly ordered the troops to continue pushing forward.

"The undead will take care of the remaining isons. Keep moving forward. Don't stop." He issued the command, and the Generals carried out his orders.

The two units shouted in unison and headed further into the interior of the red zone. To their surprise, the dense wilderness that was sprawled around without any restraint was suddenly starting to become thinner.

Some of the trees and plants here seemed to be eaten clean. This was only more and more evident as the troops continued to move forward. This was not really an issue, except that their cover was gradually disappearing.

But a few minutes later, it became clear that there was no need to worry about this anymore. 

In the depth of the red zone, there wasn't a single tree or plant left alive. Everything was completely destroyed right to their roots. There were only rocks and barren land around. Even the river that flowed in a segment was fully dried out.

More importantly, in this zone where there was nothing to hide under, there were hundreds and thousands of isons flying around. The sky, the air, and the land were full of these insects. They swirled around endlessly as if the whole world was made for these insects.

The troops felt like they were in the middle of a sandstorm, except that the sand here was these insects. There was no beginning and no end in sight. The very sight was too horrific to look at. 

There were no traces left anymore that showed that anything alive was present there. Not beasts, not humans, not trees, not plants, not even water. Everything was completely exhausted by these insects who left behind nothing barren land.

This was clearly the fate that awaited the rest of the world as well!

But what most of them did not know was that the real situation was much worse. Only a few Generals among the elite troops were sensitive enough to mana, and these men instantly figured this out.

Every single one of them turned to look at Kouske and the Oracle, dread filling their hearts. This was because not just life was sucked out of this part of the earth but also mana!

These isons had somehow depleted the mana in the area too. It was as if they had inhaled everything in sight without even leaving the bones out. They were simply creatures of mass destruction and eradication.

Just how the hell did creatures like these step foot in their world? How were they supposed to fight against these monstrosities?

The only consolation was that the mana in the air hadn't yet been fully depleted. For now, one could feel that the density here was much lower, but mana was still there. 

However, if things progressed in the same way, soon there won't be a lick of mana left in the air or water or land.

And then humanity would truly be fucked as the one way for them to fight back would have also been eliminated!

Unfortunately, in the current situation, no one had any time to think about the bleak future that awaited them. 

It only took a second for the countless isons swirling in the sky to notice the presence of new life, and these creatures swooped down in a frenzy to attack the living.

"Don't stand like statues! Use the grenades to create a diversion! Use the bazookas! Fire at full power and leave nothing alive!" The commander shouted.

At the same time, the undead unit once again made its appearance. This time the army was even stronger after facing the last swarm.

Moreover, the presence of these undead meant that the two level 150s were somehow taken care of! 

So everyone's spirits flared up as they started attacking with confidence and courage! The troops fought back with everything they had!

Immediately, the entire area became complete mayhem. Terror was raining down the skies, and the human beings who faced this terror stood tall and fought bravely.

Each and every single one of these isons was level 50, so keeping them at bay required everything from their side.

Within seconds, the entirety of the elite troops and the special troops became completely overwhelmed. It was only a matter of time before this sandstorm of isons wholly devoured every one.

However, the elite troops and the special troops did not falter in the slightest. They continued firing on all cylinders without a second to take a breather. 

They had, after all, faced and persevered in front of Level 150 isons, so they did not allow themselves to be scared by these puny lesser creatures.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The air crackled with mana and power as all sorts of attacks blasted at the isons. The raw power was enough to blast them apart. The only problem was that more and more were replacing the dead insects.

The swarm was endless.

As seconds ticked by, even the most courageous of the Generals panted heavily without any stamina left to push further.

As if this was not enough, a few more isons made their appearances, to be more specifically, Ison Generals. Each of them was Level 160 and above.

Along with them, two more Ison Generals showed up. These two were Level 150, and the direction that they came from was slightly different from the others. 

To their surprise, it was the same direction they had come from!

When everyone saw these two, they immediately understood what had happened. The previous two isons had never really been taken care of!

Everyone was shocked at least the elite troops. This meant that they never really had any capacity to deal with these higher leveled monstrosities?

Just what the hell were they even doing here? Wasn't this simply a suicide mission?

Then, right in front of their bewildered eyes, something even more shocking occurred. A black mist appeared out of nowhere and surrounded the whole area.

What new hell was this? This was the question on everyone's mind.

However, shockingly, this black mist seemed to do nothing to them. Though the aura was eerie and ominous, and clearly nothing good could come out of it, it still did not do them any harm.

But the same couldn't be said for the isons.

The moment the black mist entered the space, the isons all started twitching and creaking. 

.comno//vel//bi/n[.//]net'

A deafening clicking sound filled the space as if every single one of the million insects in front of them were in absolute torturous pain!

Just what was happening?

Unable to understand anything, everyone could only dumbly turn to look at their leader for orders. 

Naturally, not all of them were confused by this sudden development. It looked like only the elite troops were kept out of the loop. 

The leading Generals and the special unit grinned confidently as, one by one, all the isons started fumbling about.

"What are you looking at?! ATTACK! NOW!"
