Super Detective in the Fictional World

2197 Side Story: Fantasy Journey 38

Hundreds of fiery streaks swiftly approached the battlefield before they suddenly slowed down thousands of meters in the air.

Even so, a rain of energy shells fell from the sky five seconds later.

Compared with Luke and Master Wayne’s string of energy bullets, these hundreds of energy shells were like a net.

The Parademons might be vigilant, but they couldn’t do anything about it.

They spread out and charged forward, but Luke just used even more firepower to crush them.

The floating cannon turrets that had been dropped from tens of thousands of meters in the air amply demonstrated their worth.

They weren’t able to move at high speeds, but had a huge energy source and plenty of ammo, as well as multiple cannons.

These cannon turrets were once-off use – there was no need to think about dodging the enemy at all. They just needed to produce the most firepower in the shortest amount of time and cause the most damage.

It was indeed strenuous to hit mosquitoes with cannons, but under a bombardment, the mosquitoes could be burned to ash.

The countless Parademons were the ‘mosquitoes.’

The highly explosive ammo didn’t care about conserving energy at all as they exploded in a range of 1,000 meters.

After a series of calculations, the hundreds of floating turrets arranged themselves layer upon layer in the sky.

The explosions caused by the energy shells left the flustered Parademons with no other way to escape. They could only charge into the sky in vain.

The simplest choice was to charge out of range and destroy the turrets.

Steppenwolf’s expression changed. “Idiots, run!”

As a leader who had experienced many battles, how could he not see that this was a trap?

But it was clearly impossible for the Parademons charging upward to hear him.

Thus, when they charged at the floating turrets and started to wreak havoc, huge balls of white light flashed in the dark sky.

The Parademons that had gathered around the floating turrets like locusts didn’t even have time to scream in the huge white explosions before their frightened expressions started to melt. In the end, they turned to dust and were carried even further away by the white light.

From the rapid descent of the floating turrets to the gunfire cover and 70% of the turrets exploding, everything happened in under a minute.

What had been a densely packed sky above the small town now only had several hundred annoying Parademons left.

In order to avoid accidentally injuring the Justice League members, the turrets didn’t bombard the ground hundreds of meters around the tower.

The lucky Parademons there thus avoided the first calamity, but a second purge followed.

A second group of turrets deliberately had put some distance between themselves and the first group of turrets that had self-destructed. A few seconds after the most intense explosions, they started to descend at a steady rate.

After the rain of highly explosive shells, a regular shower of rapid fire shells started to clean up the ground and kill the remaining soldiers.

They also fired at all the injured Parademons that had yet to die, ensuring that they all died without intact bodies.

Steppenwolf slowly lowered his head with an ugly expression on his face; he no longer looked like he had everything under control.

At that moment, Luke, Master Wayne, Diana and Arthur surrounded him like schoolyard bullies.

While all the Parademons were being destroyed, Steppenwolf had tried to escape, but the Justice League had taken turns blocking him; it was like a weakling being surrounded and pushed around.

Given how this guy had flaunted his ax last night and said it was stained with the blood of the battle goddess’ warrior sisters, it now felt a little like a black comedy.

Previously, Steppenwolf could still make a strategic retreat under the cover of the Parademons.

At that moment, the floating turrets were controlling the situation from the sky. Steppenwolf was still fine here, but once he was out of the same range as the Justice League, he would definitely be shot in the face.

What else could this commander do? He was full of despair.

The four members of the Justice League had no intention of talking nonsense with this guy. As usual, the battle goddess, Diana, let out a yell and was the first to attack this boss.

This time, with no Parademons to hinder them, Luke and Master Wayne joined the battle, and Steppenwolf immediately felt the difference.

He had just blocked Diana’s sword, when Master Wayne kicked him in the face with a metal foot.

The external gear that Master Wayne was wearing was so big that the impact was at least ten tons.

Steppenwolf couldn’t adapt to the change in rhythm at all, and was instantly trampled into the ground, creating a huge crater.

What happened next… could only be said to be utterly without class.

Falling to the ground wasn’t scary. What was scary was losing your center of gravity or losing control over the fight.

Luke literally followed in Master Wayne’s footsteps.

Luke, who was far faster than Master Wayne, kicked Steppenwolf’s right hand to stop him from swinging the giant ax.

Arthur also raised his trident and charged forward, but couldn’t find any part of Steppenwolf’s upper torso that wasn’t covered by the external firepower support gear.

But he had already raised his hands. He had to do something, right?

Helpless, he could only exert all his strength with both hands and yelled, “Ahhhh!”

Puchi!

“Ahhhh~” Steppenwolf’s scream was even louder and more wretched. Not everyone could withstand being stabbed in the groin.

Diana had just been pushed back a few steps by the giant ax. At that moment, only one third of Steppenwolf was still visible — his two legs.

Recalling how this guy had thrown her warrior sisters’ deaths in her face last night, she didn’t want to miss out.

She swung her divine longsword, and Steppenwolf howled even more miserably and struggled with all his might.

Diana cut off his legs.

Master Wayne’s surprise attack was a success. The impact sent him flying ten meters away.

At that moment, he turned around, only to see that Steppenwolf was now unrecognizable as he screamed on the ground.

What made Master Wayne even more speechless was that Luke was much more cunning than he was. He hadn’t used the momentum to retreat at all. Instead, he stood next to Steppenwolf and stomped on him like a pile driver.

He even had a strategy when stomping on Steppenwolf; most of it was aimed at Steppenwolf’s upper limbs, which didn’t give Steppenwolf a chance to swing his arms and counterattack.

Noticing Master Wayne’s gaze, Luke immediately said, “What are you waiting for? Come join us.”

Master Wayne: “…”

He didn’t say anything, but actions spoke louder than words.

Master Wayne turned around, and the plasma thrusters sent him back into the crowded ‘circle,’ right in front of Luke. It couldn’t be helped; there was only one empty spot left.

With the addition of the magnate, Steppenwolf instantly couldn’t even scream anymore.
