Chapter 336 The Battlefield of Extraordinary Engagement

Nicaea,
Maluku Strait,
North Sulawesi Province Line 7: Manya County.

As a city that has developed in recent decades, it is exactly the same as most emerging cities around the world: high-rise buildings made of steel and concrete are everywhere, as if they were copied and pasted, and the square shape is filled with the so-called 'modern' atmosphere.

However, the city's residents had been evacuated, replaced by a large number of troops.

Large sections of floor-to-ceiling windows were sealed off by cement brick walls, leaving only firing ports the size of a human head, and anti-aircraft guns were mounted on the roof.

Armored vehicles were parked everywhere on the streets, and countless gun barrels and cannons were pointed diagonally into the sky; the smell of gunpowder permeated the air, all of which stimulated the nerves of everyone.

"what is this?"

Energy-saving lights hung overhead, illuminating the dimly lit building.

A soldier wearing a helmet and stab-proof vest took the pills from the sergeant with a puzzled look on his face.

"Hey, sir."

"I don't need 'military stimulants'."

War is where the truly ruthless are used, and many infamous poisons were once legitimate 'military supplies.' They could keep soldiers alert for days and nights on end; lying in trenches filled with corpses, they showed no fear; as for the aftereffects? We'll talk about that when you survive!
Do you really think that all the soldiers who survived the war were mentally ill?
No, many are 'physiological diseases'! It's just that different countries tacitly cover them up.

"This is not a stimulant, it's an iodine tablet."

The sergeant distributed the medicine while explaining it to the officers.

?

"Oh, shit!"

"Isn't this to neutralize radiation?"

Upon hearing the sergeant's explanation, several soldiers immediately cursed out loud.

"Have those old men in parliament finally given up and decided to drop nuclear weapons on the front lines?"

Moreover, what's the point of just taking iodine tablets? They can only reduce the body's absorption of radioactive iodine to a certain extent, thus reducing the damage caused by radiation. Are the infantrymen on the front lines really not human?

"What's the noise about?"

"If we're going to drop a nuclear bomb, we'll drop it into the fog zone!"

The sergeant roared, using his voice to suppress the soldiers' angry curses.

"As mentioned above, a group of special combat units will be entering our defense zone today: their attacks are nuclear-radiated, so try to avoid contact with them."

what? !

There are soldiers who like to play games.
The image of the radiation soldier from "Red Alert 2" flashed through my mind; he took off his pants, squatted down, and instantly turned the screen green with death.
No, could it be:

"Island Nation's Extraordinary Countermeasures Department?"

"Why are they super SWAT officers? It shouldn't be super SWAT officers from the army."

"Shut up!"

"We should thank God for the reinforcements."

After dispensing the medication, the sergeant also took out an iodine tablet and put it in his mouth.

"We're in charge of the skies, and the superhumans are in charge of the ground—both of you better be alert! If anyone gets distracted and wounds the reinforcements from behind, I'll personally kill him!"

However, in the face of the Nine-Tailed Fox's forces, regardless of faith, nationality, or skin color, everyone is treated equally: kill! So these Nicaean locals, armed with weapons provided by the Commonwealth, went to the front lines to fight to the death, or to die in battle, under the allocation of the "Joint Command".

Various 'military stimulants' are naturally also essential items; whether or not to use them depends on the individual: most people will eventually use them.

Now, the island nation's reinforcements have finally arrived.

"Zizzi"

"Attention all soldiers of the 7th Line!"

"A combined force of the Nine-Tails is approaching from the north. Prepare for battle!"

"Repeat that."

coming!

Upon hearing the words on the walkie-talkie, the soldiers disregarded everything else and rushed to the firing ports, peering out through the large holes: the distant sky was covered with dark clouds, and blackness surged toward them, as if a storm was imminent.

It was indeed a torrential downpour; however, it was a bloodbath.

"Ready to fight!"

As the sergeant gave the order in a hoarse voice, missiles streaked across the sky, trailing white flames, and flew towards the dark clouds.

boom! ! boom! ! boom! !

Giant fireballs burst forth in the sky, their shockwaves spreading outwards.

Abandoning precision in pursuit of lethality, this terrifying creation, loaded with several tons of explosives, recklessly displays the destructive power of science; yet in the blink of an eye, an endless 'cloud' covers the fireworks, continuing its indifferent advance.

The seemingly overwhelming 'monster horde' is actually filled with a large number of illusions.

In other words, these demons are spaced a certain distance apart, and the missiles that seem to have huge explosive power actually only cause a pitiful few hundred casualties each.

Despite the continuous bombardment by missiles, the demons came in like a tidal wave, overwhelming the sky: in addition to the demons flying in the sky, there were also many flying close to the ground. Once they used the terrain to rush in front of the coalition forces and fight in the streets, the multinational coalition forces would definitely suffer losses.

"Yuzu Light Hadouken - Machine Gun Barrage!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh

As soon as the demonic tide surged into the city, it was met head-on by 'spheres of light' the size of ping-pong balls.

These orbs of light traced trajectories, accurately hitting the demons mixed in with the illusions, and exploding into clusters of blue-green light.

The orb of light was not only powerful, but also had a special effect on living beings: the monsters that were hit fell to the ground with cries of agony, and soon lost their lives while struggling on the ground.

On rooftops, on streets, and in front of buildings, extraordinary special police officers took action.

"Familiar scene"

Kawai Mai, with her bob haircut, looked up at the hordes of demons surging towards her, but her expression remained relaxed.

"I am not the weak person I used to be."

"Yuko Hadouken - Heavy Artillery Bombardment!"

Standing on the rooftop, the policewoman lowered her stance and swung her fists forward:
Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh—whoosh—whoosh!

Orbs of light, each the size of a human head, roared out from her waving fists;

It traced arcs, creating halos of light that covered an area of ​​tens of meters in radius among the demons.

"Hahaha~~"

"I, Mai, am also a transcendent master—"

"Mai, hold back a bit."

Fuji Seiko's voice came through the earpiece, interrupting the young policewoman's proud declaration.

"These are just grunts. Save your spiritual energy to deal with the synthetic beasts, the mummified ninjas, the demon warriors, and the even more advanced black flames."

"Yes, Senior Holy Son."

Shaking his arms, Kawa and Mai raised their hands to look at the demons that continued to surge past the radiation explosion.

"Hmph, you think you can take me on?"

Charging headlong into the demon tide, the young policewoman didn't need to use any abilities; a single punch or kick was enough to blast the charging demons into dust.

After all, she is a veteran wolf-level powerhouse. For her, dealing with these 'weak dog' level demons is easier than beating a dog: unless they are exhausted to death, the demons will have a hard time hurting her.

"Roar~~~!!"

Noticing the rampage of Kawa and Mai, the surging demons began to merge with each other.

"Captain Kawai, a large number of chimeras have been detected approaching you. Please be careful."

"Received—Tsuchigumo!"

Boom!

A giant earth spider burst from the ground below, climbed up the building wall to the roof, and stood next to Kawai Mai.

It was hit by several bursts of bullets from who-knows-where along the way, but ordinary bullets were nothing more than a tickle to it.

Bang!
"You bastard,"

Inside the building, a sergeant kicked a soldier who had fired a shot away.

"I told you to be careful: those are friendly forces, friendly forces!!"

"Excuse me, cough cough cough."

The soldier, who had been hit by a boot, got up and repeatedly admitted his mistake.

When that 'giant spider' burst out of the ground, he mistook it for a chimera and reflexively fired a few bursts of bullets.
"Everyone be careful. At this time, we must not offend the other side since they have sent a superhuman to help us!"

As the demons continued to pour in, all the firing ports in the buildings that had been converted into bunkers spewed out flames and bullets. The anti-aircraft arrays on the rooftops also roared incessantly, raining down dense bullets and explosions into the sky.

The entire city was filled with gunfire and explosions, and there was killing and death everywhere.

This prompted Director Zhu Ya, who was standing atop the central building in the city and witnessing all of this, to push up her non-prescription glasses.

"Is this what it feels like to be on the battlefield?"

The sky, the sea, and the earth were densely packed with demons.

The coalition's bunkers and armored vehicles roared incessantly; missile and rocket positions whizzed in from the rear; and swarms of suicide drones descended from the sky. Only with modern technology ramping up production and extraordinary countermeasures could they barely hold back the relentless tide of monsters.

"I wonder how people lived a thousand years ago."

"Ah,"

Thinking of this, Director Zhu Ya chuckled self-deprecatingly.

Buzzing buzzing buzzing

A dozen or so demons broke through the enemy's defensive lines and rushed into the city. Noticing Director Zhuya on the rooftop, they immediately swooped down towards him.

brush,

Faced with these demons descending from the sky, Director Zhuya simply waved the 'Exploding Blade' in her hand.

Boom boom boom boom,

A series of explosions spread across the sky in front of the director.

"Can I even be considered a 'human' anymore?"

Amidst the smoke and fire, Director Zhuya, wielding a blasting knife, strode out.

If we use ordinary people as the standard, then he absolutely cannot be considered human—although there was no technology a thousand years ago, the extraordinary individuals who were active back then are incomparable to those of today.

Ashiya, Kamo, Abe, Koyasan, the imperial family, and Genji.
It took the combined efforts of these legendary and extraordinary families to seal Tamamo-no-Mae away.

"I wonder what will become of this world, Japan, when the Nine-Tails is fully resurrected?"

While sighing, Director Zhu Ya held a knife in both hands.

"Hair broken, strangled to death!"

Like a giant scroll wielded by a famous sword, a continuous series of explosions spread out in a fan shape, densely covering the surging tide of demons; in the blink of an eye, it spread for hundreds of meters. It was a weakened version of the 'mutual multiplication explosion technique' that Director Zhuya had been exploring for many days.

He single-handedly unleashed the force of a heavy artillery barrage, terrifying countless forces secretly watching him.

Who would have thought that this director, known for his smooth-talking and skillful management, would also possess such abilities?

Horror!
Explosive Blade - Droplets
This knife was created specifically for 'wide-scale destruction'.

The scene before them was perfect for Explosive Blade.

Bitong County Town,
"Hahaha~~"

"Men, let these soldiers witness the might of us seamen! Kill them!"

With a wave of his hand, the arrogant Teach unleashed a multitude of superhumans belonging to the 'Teach Pirate Crew', who charged out with strange cries.

The demons and chimeras are their old rivals—they've fought from the northern islands of the Libyan Empire to the southern islands, and now to these Nicaea archipelago. They know exactly how to deal with them.

"Water chaos!"

"Water Array Pillars!"

"Exploding water surge!"

"A massive burst of water jets!"

A group of superhumans whose ability was to 'spit water' took the initiative. No, they used their mouths.

Streams of water of varying sizes spewed from their mouths, surging and spreading through the city streets in the blink of an eye: under the control of the casters, they deliberately bypassed buildings, simply covering a large area of ​​water on the battlefield.

Each superhuman spews out a small amount of water, but when the quantity is accumulated, it is still quite considerable.

After the site was set up, it was time for the remote attack team to get to work.

"Water Dragon Bullet!"

"The water dragon bites and explodes!"

"Water breaks the waves!"

"Water waves!"

"Water sleet!"

"Water Gun - Double Ding -"

Giant water dragons, unleashing devastating attacks like water jets and water bullets, surged into the sky, repeatedly wreaking havoc among the charging horde of demons. Faced with these water-based attacks, swarms of demons plummeted to their deaths.

Even if there are tough-skinned chimeras that can withstand the attacks and get close, melee members wielding water whips, water blades, and water swords will immediately meet them.

With a large number of extraordinary individuals joining the battle, the Nine-Tailed Fox's offensive was contained.

Balamogan County Town

Da da da da,

The reinforced concrete buildings were hastily converted into bunkers, with each floor constantly spewing flames and bullets.

boom--

A chimera flew straight in and smashed a huge hole in the building.

Pulling its body out of the hole, the chimera shook its head; without lingering, it immediately flew towards another building.

Buzzing buzzing buzzing

A large number of demons immediately flew towards the gap.

As the demon continued to penetrate the building, the bullets that were originally spraying in all directions suddenly became chaotic.

"Watch out, the demon has come in!"

"The fourth floor has been breached! The fourth floor! Ahhh!"

"Fifth floor requesting backup! Requesting backup!"

Gunfire shifted inside the building, interspersed with screams and explosions; however, it quickly subsided as the swarming demons broke through.

Ordinary people must rely on equipment and terrain to contend with extraordinary beings.

Once they get close, how could you possibly defeat them with sharp teeth and claws?
"This is war."

In the sky, a crystal-clear white Western dragon soared through the air.

Any demon that dared to approach the dragon immediately exploded out of thin air.

As for the human side?
We had been repeatedly warned by our superiors that we must never fire at the dragon.

Because on the back of the dragon stood two mysterious figures dressed in long robes with black backgrounds and red clouds, and wearing bamboo hats.

This attire clearly indicates that the individual is a superhuman from an island nation: regardless of who they are, as long as they are not from the Nine-Tailed Fox's faction, the multinational coalition responsible for this battlefield will never provoke them.

"Yes, this is war."

Hearing Xiaoying's reflections, Qiongmei's clay clone responded.

"The intensity is even greater than during the Koyasan incident. It's said that the number of yokai has exceeded 100 million, hmm."

As she spoke, Qiong Mei waved her hand.

One after another, the 'exploding birds' flew towards the synthetic beasts, and then exploded into balls of flames: compared to the weaklings who could only fight with 'exploding talismans' back then, the current Qiong Mei is a tiger-level expert, and dealing with this situation is a piece of cake.

"It was too tragic."

Xiao Ying sighed, her eyes lowered behind her fox mask.

Unlike Sora, who follows Yu around everywhere, Koei was kept under the protection of the island nation in a shrine after her 'identity was exposed'; the reports she saw were all carefully embellished.

Now, suddenly being on the front lines, the sounds of gunfire and explosions still couldn't drown out the dying curses and desperate screams!

"It's normal,"

Qiong Mei remained completely unfazed by this.

"I'll go down and help—"

Xiao Ying was still soft-hearted and leaped down.

"Attention, attention!"

Numerous reconnaissance drones were pointed in this direction and immediately noticed a mysterious figure leaping off the dragon.

"A superhuman has entered the battlefield,"

"All units, stand ready!"

What are we on guard against?
Of course, it's to be wary of this superhuman's attack.

The multinational coalition did not know whether these two mysterious figures were friends or foes.

Next second,
"Trees, grow!"

Landing atop a building amidst a fierce battle, the mysterious figure raised both hands.

Rumble, rumble~~~
The earth trembled continuously, and roots thicker than a person's waist burst forth from the soil, spreading out to the left and right, forming a 'defense line'.

?

While all the soldiers who witnessed it, as well as the commanders in the rear, were completely baffled.

"Then it blooms—"

With a wave of his hands, the mysterious man...
These roots stretch out, sprout green leaves, and unfurl stamens, and then:

In full bloom!

Flowers the size of houses bloomed on the battlefield.

这 是
The next second, the flowers swayed and their fragrance filled the air.

Thump thump thump thump thump,

As if an invisible giant hand had swept across, all the demons in the sky fell down in a flurry; even the chimeras swayed precariously as they twirled and spun as they fell.

The moment the sea of ​​flowers appeared, the demonic tide was defeated.

? !
In a flash,

The battlefield, which had been roaring with artillery fire just moments before, suddenly became as quiet as a chicken's nest.
