Chapter 48 – Striving with All Might to Block

“Boom!!”

Accompanied by earth-shattering roars,

The surrounding sky seemed to be torn apart in this instant.

With Xestila’s command issued, all soldiers fired simultaneously, launching attacks fervently toward the Myriadface Avian. Several huge mobile fortresses suddenly activated, their cannon muzzles spitting out dazzling flames, massive shells cutting through the sky like meteors, crashing into the Myriadface Avian’s body with intense explosive sounds.

Armed helicopters swooped low in the high skies, launching anti-corrupted beast missiles and rockets, the piercing whistles of air being torn almost painful to the eardrums. Each missile explosion would shake the surrounding space as if it were tearing apart, the air filled with strong gunpowder and smoke.

Not only that,

Dozens of mechs moved into position, their chest laser cannons and pulse guns firing together. Laser beams cut through the air, shooting toward the Myriadface Avian, instantly creating bursts of sparks on its body, hot light intertwining with explosions.

Each shell and missile explosion was like doomsday descending, the shockwaves in the air causing all surrounding objects to vibrate violently.

Without a doubt,

When facing the legendary Vassal Tier corrupted beast, all soldiers of the Specter’s Lament Legion unleashed their most powerful attacks without reservation.

Under this crazy bombardment, the ground and sky seemed to be torn into pieces, smoke billowing, flames reaching the heavens. Each expansion of the shockwave would crack the earth, the ground being bombed into deep craters, flames and dust obscuring vision. The deafening roar of explosions continued to echo, as if the entire world was trembling from this catastrophe. The silhouette of the Myriadface Avian gradually blurred in this scene of destruction, until it was completely engulfed by fierce fire and lasers.

…

“As expected…”

While quickly evacuating from the battlefield with the Ailiya sisters, Hein turned back with a cold smile to look at the scene of towering flames.

Hehe,

Marshal Xestila, I knew you would do this.

Although I had the Valkyrie Battalion lure the Myriadface Avian here, you would absolutely not let it pursue me. Because you know very well that if the Vassal Tier Myriadface Avian caught up with me, I would certainly die, and not only would I die… Ailiya and her sisters would die too.

That’s right,

If you didn’t interfere at all, the Myriadface Avian might have completely ignored you,

But,

Knowing clearly the importance of Ailiya and her sisters, you would absolutely not let that monster come after us.

Rеad оո ΚαtRеаdinɡCαfе

Even if you were extremely unwilling~

Seeing everything going as he had planned, Hein’s smile became increasingly smug.

“Work hard, Marshal Xestila… try to buy us more time. Hehe, hehehe…”

Hein muttered teasingly.

…

—

On the other side,

Compared to Hein’s joy, Xestila’s mood was not so good.

Hein-Anloxi…

That bastard must be secretly laughing now, right?

Knowing I would definitely block it, so he directly ran away?

“Damn beast…”

Xestila cursed coldly.

Of course, this Marshal also knew that now was not the time to curse Hein. The actions of House Anloxi could be reported to the President later for handling.

The focus now was,

“How to deal with this thing.”

Staring ahead, Xestila began to pray constantly in her heart, praying that this wave of attacks would be effective.

However,

Xestila’s prayers seemed to receive no response from the Heavenly Lord.

Only to see now,

Under the grave gaze of Xestila and countless soldiers,

As the towering explosions and thick smoke gradually dissipated, the huge figure of the Myriadface Avian reappeared in the dense smoke.

Rеаⅾ оn KatRеаⅾіnɡСafе

It suddenly spread its wings, its enormous wings starting to flap, bringing a gust of strong wind sweeping out. The strong airflow surged in all directions like a hurricane, instantly blowing away the surrounding fierce fires and gunpowder smoke, dust and sparks flying from the uplifting storm, the entire battlefield in chaos.

After enduring such an intense bombardment,

Several deep, ferocious wounds were clearly left on the huge body of the Myriadface Avian, with dark red blood and black liquid flowing from the split skin. These wounds seemed extremely severe, but what was terrifying was that the Myriadface Avian didn’t stop its movements because of this.

Dark blue curse power began to spread,

Quickly covering the wounds of the Myriadface Avian.

Soon, the damaged areas began to squirm violently. The black liquid gradually congealed into tough scales, flesh under the nurturing of curse power visibly recovered at a rapid pace, wounds quickly healing as if being rewoven, as if its body had never been injured.

In just a few seconds, the former scars had completely disappeared, and the Myriadface Avian’s body fully recovered, as if that terrible bombardment had never caused any substantial damage to it.

Witnessing this scene,

The Covenant soldiers unanimously showed expressions of terror and despair.

In an instant, the emotion of fear spread rapidly.

After noticing the changes in the expressions of the surrounding soldiers, Xestila bit her lip in unwillingness.

As expected,

Without Celestial Augur Knights, conventional weapons alone could never seriously injure this monster.

Since that’s the case…

“Lena!!”

Looking at her deputy holding a sniper rifle not far away, Xestila directly used spiritual energy to transmit information.

“Pass down the order, have all Divine Martial Realm officers focus attacks on that monster’s eyes, stall it as much as possible! Then go to the rear to prepare for the charging of the ‘Radiant Soul Purifier Cannon’!”

“Soul Purifier Cannon?!”

Hearing this command, the female deputy named Lena immediately showed an expression of astonishment.

“Lady Xestila! The Myriadface Avian is so close to us, if we use the ‘Radiant Soul Purifier Cannon,’ our soldiers will also be caught in it!”

To this,

Xestila did not explain, but resolute and serious, unquestioningly roared:

Rеаԁ оո KаtRеαԁіոgСаfе

“Go quickly!”

“Yes!”

After a serious response, Lena gritted her teeth, and with the enhancement of the flight device on her legs, quickly moved toward the direction of the Specter’s Lament Legion’s flagship.

After watching her deputy leave, Xestila, as a high-ranking Divine Martial Realm, also released all her spiritual energy without reservation. Empowered by the purple spiritual energy light, she resolutely charged toward the terrifying bird monster ahead.

Stall,

Must stall…

Stall until reinforcements arrive!

————

However, what Xestila didn’t know was that the scene of her conversation with Deputy Lena had already been observed by one of the human heads controlled by the Myriadface Avian.

Radiant Soul Purifier Cannon?

If they fire that thing, it would indeed be a bit troublesome.

After capturing their conversation in its mind with its terrifying perceptive abilities, a trace of dark blue light gradually seeped out from the Myriadface Avian’s eyes.

At the same time,

The other dozen or so dead human heads controlled by this Vassal Tier corrupted beast also began to look around.

Looking at these humans continuously launching attacks on itself, the Myriadface Avian felt increasingly displeased.

If it weren’t for these humans blocking,

It would have already completed its mission and eliminated those human brats.

And moreover,

They even dared to injure its body…

They dared to injure this body bestowed by Lord Ulutiel?!

Ah, this is really…

——”Unpleasant…”——

Rеаⅾ οո КаtRеаԁіngСαfe

The bird head suddenly rotated a full 180 degrees, thick dark blue light emanating from the Myriadface Avian’s pupils. And along with the seeping glow came curse power several times more surging and violent than before.

Originally didn’t want to bother with you all,

But since you’re seeking death… I’ll eliminate you first.

The collection pieces you damaged will be replenished with yourselves.

——”Abyss Hex – Blood Phantom Deception Feast!”——

As the curse power on the Myriadface Avian surged more violently, its enormous pale body rapidly began to change.

Countless rotting dead human face skins from its huge wings and every crack of its body suddenly opened their mouths, and abruptly emitted screeches like wailing ghosts and howling gods! Like the final wails of the dead, or whispers from the abyss.

Terrifying sound waves swept the surroundings, the air seemed to be violently vibrating, the entire space seemingly torn apart.

The soldiers of the Covenant had not yet reacted before they felt this irresistible shock.

Countless soldiers were instantly overwhelmed by this sense of oppression, their faces turning pale, eyes revealing extreme fear. Those with slightly insufficient strength directly had blood gushing from their seven orifices, as if they had suffered violent internal organ rupture.

In just a few seconds, hundreds of Covenant soldiers lost their lives in this screeching sound.

However, this was just the beginning.

After emitting a series of screeches,

The thousands of dead human faces on the Myriadface Avian suddenly opened their glowing eyes, and beams of dark blue lasers were abruptly released from them.

Countless blue lasers with extremely powerful penetration swept indiscriminately toward everything around.

Laser beams penetrated the air, cut through the sky, sweeping toward surrounding soldiers, mechs, fighter jets, heavy tanks, and fortresses like the Death God’s scythe…

Each time a laser hit a target, there would be an earth-shattering explosion, followed by the entire target being cut in half, sparks and fragments flying in all directions.

Mech bodies were instantly split into two halves, metal fragments dancing in the air, scattering like lava eruption; fighter jets directly exploded when hit by lasers, bursting into intense flames, wreckage falling like torn cloth; tanks and heavy mobile fortresses could not escape either, instantly cut into charred fragments by lasers, the shockwaves of explosions destroying surrounding trees and mountains, the ground shaking, dust flying; soldiers, when swept by lasers, were directly vaporized on the spot…

With the ravages of lasers and sound waves,

The army’s lines instantly collapsed, completely defenseless.

Mech troops, air support, ground firepower, all turned to ashes in this round of devastating strikes. The entire battlefield instantly fell into dead silence, smoke billowing, blood splattered, flames reaching the sky…
