With the sound of bats flapping their wings, a swarm of small bats quickly gathered around Hao Ren. Vivian emerged from the swarm of bats and ran to Hao Ren nervously. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Hao Ren grinned and raised his right hand. The light on the giant silver-white pistol slowly dimmed and then disappeared into the air like a phantom. "I just need a break..."
"What was that?" Lily ran over with her two large claws, licking the blood on her sleeves as she asked.
Hao Ren shrugged and said, "The inspector's gun. I just unlocked it a while ago. I felt that I needed something that could be used in the atmosphere, and I found this thing in the weapon list. But it seems that it's still too early for me to use it. "
In fact, as early as two or three months ago, Hao Ren realized that he needed to improve his combat effectiveness. He was hanging out with a bunch of otherworldlings, and there was also a psychopathic female boss who could issue weird missions at any time. He could not tell when he would get into a fight with someone. He urgently needed to improve his combat ability in the face of danger. Under the guidance of the MDT, he had been working hard to improve his control of his dissimilated body, learning the fine tuning of shields and combat skills. But he also knew that these simple and crude combat methods were not enough. As a tank who could never pull aggro, he needed more diverse skills to make up for the shortcomings of his face. So, he once again read the part about personal armor in the inspector's handbook, and last month, he successfully unlocked the permission to carry and use the inspector's gun.
After applying for the gun, the armor was sent directly to his Dimensional Pocket through the hyperspace rationing system. Unfortunately, this was the first time he used this thing.
"... I don't know much about it, but it seems to be something good," Hessiana was surprised. "When did humans have such a thing? Why didn't you use it earlier? "
Hao Ren raised his right hand, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Because of this."
Although he had put away the inspector's gun in his Dimensional Pocket, his right hand was still emitting a faint blue light. The blood vessels under his skin were bulging as if they were flowing with fluorescent fluid. The skin around his wrist was covered with a thin, scale-like crystalline substance, as if his arm was about to crystallize like the shadelings. Everyone was shocked when they saw this. Wuyue rushed forward to help, but Hao Ren retracted his hand. "Don't bother. This is a Psionic Infection. You won't be able to deal with it no matter how powerful you are. But I can break this down, and it will disappear on its own in a while. "
Psionic weapons were so powerful that they could ignore any form and strength of shields and armors made by mortals. Therefore, some mortal civilizations referred to the energy used by such weapons as the "Will of God." However, psionic weapons were not suitable for mortals. They would cause a certain amount of damage to the user and produce a sequela called "Psionic Crystallization Syndrome." Depending on the physical sensitivity of the user, the crystallization syndrome would appear at different times and in different intensity.
Unfortunately, Hao Ren was one of the more sensitive ones.
However, the inspector's gun was a specially designed weapon. It was specially adjusted for ordinary people, and it could slowly change itself according to the physiological characteristics of the user. At the same time, the inspector's special physique would slowly adapt to the psionic energy after being exposed to it for a period of time. Therefore, after a period of adaptation, this gun would become the inspector's most convenient weapon.
Hao Ren just used it a little too early. In fact, he still needed more than a month to achieve perfect synchronization with the gun.
"Are you sure it's okay?" Lily looked nervously at the strange symptoms on Hao Ren's arm, her tail wagging unconsciously. "This looks scary."
"It's okay. Let's go. We've wasted a lot of time here."
The sound of explosions and battle cries coming from the shadelings' castle had weakened a little, but it was still quite fierce. It seemed that the first batch of Mad Demons sent by Hessiana and the defenders in the castle had entered a stalemate. At one point, a few shadelings rushed out from the south side of the castle. However, the crazy vampires carrying RPGs and aerial bombs did not play by the rules. These shadelings did not go far before they were called back to reinforce the castle's defenses. Now, the battle there could be said to be a complete mess. The shadelings were desperately defending while Hessiana and the vampires were attacking indiscriminately. No one could keep up with the rhythm of the other. This kind of battle was a mixture of high-tech, magic, imagination, and neurotic thinking. Even if you resurrected Rommel and brought him to the scene, he would not be able to do anything. Hessiana herself had not tested the tactics of the Mad Demon Commandos (she did not have the qualifications to do so. How could she train her troops in a shelter?). So, the frontline could only fight blindly.
The battle in the city had long become white-hot. Even after the unusual creatures fought back and reinforced the defense, there were still at least 11 spatial rifts in the city. New demon hunters kept pouring into the battlefield from the rifts. No one knew how many demon hunters had rushed in, but everyone knew that the number was not right. Since the end of the Mythological Era, the demon hunters had rarely formed an army to carry out such a large-scale operation. The number of demon hunters in a city was limited, and the ones that broke in today... They were obviously prepared for this battle.
The streets of the city were ablaze. The city that the unusual creatures had been running for thousands of years was rapidly being destroyed. Although all the unusual creatures were powerful monsters to humans, they also had civilians. These civilians were not good at fighting. Even if they were stronger than humans, they were no match for the demon hunters. The demon hunters in long black trench coats swept through the entire city like the Grim Reaper. Every time they flickered in space, they would take the life of an unusual creature. The more powerful demon hunters had forcibly established positions near the various spatial rifts. They were channeling more powerful and more destructive magic.
The sky of the city had begun to crumble. Chaotic light and shadow fell from every spatial rift. In these light and shadow, the shadow of the real Athens could be vaguely seen. The demon hunters were casting spells to remove the shadow structure of the city. When the real world came into contact with this dimension, the entire city might be destroyed.
However, the Ancients had already taken action. They had sealed off the passages they guarded and returned to the city from the real world and the Shadowy Divide to deal with the demon hunter leaders who were maintaining the dimensional rift. These powerful Ancients had somewhat saved the situation. The demon hunters' magic that was powerful enough to destroy the city was interrupted again and again. Under the violent impact of the energy, the dome of the city creaked as if it was about to collapse, but it did not collapse in the end.
It had not collapsed yet.
Explosions and fires rose from all directions. But there was not a single demon hunter near the shadeling castle. It was as if the area had been deliberately ignored. Only the shadelings and Hessiana's vampires were fighting there.
"The demon hunters have deliberately bypassed this area." Hessiana gritted her teeth and wiped the blood off her face. They had just repelled another wave of attacks from the shadelings. The dark castle was right in front of them. They could even see the tattered coat of arms fluttering on the city gate. "But they are trying to throw the entire city into the real world... What kind of conspiracy did they make with that old bastard Bethanos?"
"It's unbelievable enough that the demon hunters would collude with the unusual creatures." Vivian looked back at the city worriedly. "Can we hold on? It looks like the demon hunters have gained the upper hand. "
"We have to hold on even if we can't." Hessiana gritted her teeth. "The shadeling castle has been trying to break out of the encirclement. No doubt, they want to rush to the city to support the demon hunters. We have to destroy the shadeling castle here. Otherwise, the city guards will be attacked from all sides!"
She then looked back at the city. "I want to help fight the demon hunters too, but at this time... we should trust in the power of the guards. Bethanos is a bigger threat now."
Just as Hao Ren was about to say something, he suddenly saw a sunset glow in the air not far away. He immediately got into a defensive stance and saw Hesperides walking out of the glow.
The Ancient, who was known as the Goddess of the Evening, had obviously gone through a fierce battle. Her clothes were stained with blood, and the faintly glowing bloodstains were obviously from the demon hunters. The weapon in her hand was stunning.
It was a mace that was almost as tall as she was. It was made of fine steel and had a hundred nails. It was a must-have for killing and robbing.
Hesperides looked at them with bloodshot eyes. She waved the mace in her hand and said in a shrill voice, "Where is he?! Where is he?! Where is the one-eyed man?! "
Vivian covered her eyes. "The second personality has come out."
