"Hiss …"
Kou Mako was hiding in a hot cave with his back against the hot rock wall. He panted rapidly as his bloodshot eyes stared at the entrance of the cave. The screams of the demons were getting closer and closer.
The energy of the intelligent wristwatch was close to its limit, leaving only the basic emergency functions. The magic radar had been turned off, and now he could only rely on his eyes and ears. Compared to the demons, his intuition was obviously much worse. However, at this moment, the thick black smoke gushing out from the depths of the cave exuded a pungent smell of sulfur, which was very good at covering the human scent on his body.
Soon, shadows appeared in front of the cave. Their ferocious figures and rancid smell had already revealed their identities — they were the most notorious Nazura demons of the Purgatory Abyss.
Kou Mako held his breath when he saw this. His physiological activities were also deliberately controlled and suppressed to the lowest level as if he had entered a state of suspended animation.
The Nazura demons searched in front of the cave for a moment before slowly walking forward and soon disappeared from Kou Mako's sight.
"Phew …"
Kou Mako let out a long sigh. Fortunately, it was the Nazura demons … If it was the Euboris demons who were sensitive to mental strength, Kou Mako would probably be dead by now.
Before hiding in this cave, he used his personal items to make some camouflage and directed the human scent in another direction. The cave he was hiding in was the most common geothermal steam ejector in the Black Rain Plains. It was very inconspicuous, which allowed him to escape the demons' encirclement.
After waiting for a while and confirming that the wandering demons had gone far away, Kou Mako patted the intelligent wristwatch. Looking at the last trace of energy, he licked his dry lips, then activated the intelligent casting system and cast a level-0 water-making spell on a simple cup.
However, in this dry and hot environment, even the Intelligent Spellcasting System's water-making spell could only create a few mouthfuls of water. Although this was a steam ejection hole, it was not water vapor that was ejected, but sulfur vapor that was highly toxic to humans.
Kou Mako carefully licked the water in the cup. The temperature of the water had risen rapidly as soon as it was created. If not for the survival environment maintenance system provided by Shelter, it would probably have evaporated in an instant.
After moistening his lips, Kou Mako hesitated for a moment before drinking the rest of the water in one gulp. He felt the comfort of his dry throat being moistened by the water and almost groaned. Then … he showed a bitter smile.
Because he did not know what he was holding on to.
Compared to the demons, the innate conditions of humans were too poor. Once they left the base and fought deep into the enemy's territory, without the shield and powerful firepower of the base and abundant supplies, the disadvantage of human soldiers became even more obvious.
Mecha paratroopers. It sounded impressive and impressive, but who would know that this type of soldier was risking their own lives?
Airdrop from the aircraft, use the flight device of the magic power armor to directly penetrate deep into the enemy's territory, and then fight guerrilla warfare without any logistical support. Once there was any abnormality in the communication with headquarters, they would be in a very bad situation.
Without a doubt, Kou Make's team was one of the most unlucky ones.
When they landed on the ground, they happened to encounter a wave of wandering demons, and there were quite a lot of them. Facing the tide of demons, how many human soldiers had the courage to stand there? Even if they stood there, what were the chances of defeating the demons? After all, it was impossible for humans to fight against these demons head-on. They could only take a roundabout battle and sneak attack the demons that were left alone. This kind of battle method could easily cause the team to lose morale, not to mention that they were outnumbered.
The fear of death defeated their courage. Almost at the instant of the battle, the recruit squad he was in had been scattered. His teammates fought for themselves and did not listen to the orders of their captain. After losing the advantage of fighting as a group, their willpower quickly collapsed. One by one, they activated the Return Crystal and fled back to the base at the rear.
Although Kou Mako fought hard, he was outnumbered. What could he do?
At this moment, he was the only one left in his squad. The other veterans and elites were probably deep in the battlefield and could not turn back.
There were only two paths left for Kou Mako. One was to go deep alone and risk being surrounded by demons to catch up with the rest of the squad and continue the mission. The other was to activate the Return Crystal and return to the base at the rear to enjoy a hot bath and a good rest before preparing for the next battle.
Kou Mako checked the condition of his equipment. The Gauss gun still had half of its energy, the assault rifle's ammunition was still sufficient, and there was a certain amount of various bullets in the Dimensional Warehouse. It was enough to sustain a small-scale battle. The chainsword's energy was almost depleted. At least for now, Kou Mako did not need to engage in close combat with the demons, and he did not have the ability to do so as he had just advanced to Gold.
Other than that, there were various individual combat weapons, such as high explosive grenades, RPG launchers, ten mini missiles, anti-magic bullets, and so on. After using more than half of them, there was still a lot left.
Of course, this was thanks to the application of new technology. Because the cost of the Dimensional Warehouse had been greatly reduced, every soldier wearing the magic-powered armor could enjoy the convenience of the Dimensional Warehouse.
There was still plenty of food, but because the pressure on the magic-powered armor from the demons' pursuit was too great, it caused a lot of energy to be consumed. There was not much reserve in the Dimensional Warehouse and it was all used up. The most important thing now was that the communicator seemed to have been damaged by the impact of the spell. There was no way to contact the headquarters or other comrades. Secondly, the energy system of the 'Shelter' personal armor was close to the red line. Without Shelter to maintain the environment, no matter how long he could hold on, he would die in a short while.
Kou Mako looked at the chainsword and sighed. He dug out the magic crystal from it and put it into the Shelter personal armor. The armor that had fallen to the red line resumed its normal operation, and the weak shield began to recharge.
Kou Mako let out a sigh of relief. He then took out a mini missile and opened it up. He took out the magic crystal inside and put it into the intelligent wristwatch.
After receiving the energy replenishment, the intelligent wristwatch regained all its functions. The detection magic wave quickly spread out, and then the surrounding environment appeared on the holographic radar.
At this moment, Kou Mako was deep in the Black Rain Plains. According to the built-in map, he could see that the nearest comrades were more than ten kilometers away from him. Moreover, those people were still moving at high speed. At their current speed, by the time Kou Mako arrived, they would have already run far away.
Of course, he could also choose to leave the battlefield immediately. In this situation, no one would say anything about him. He had persisted long enough. Compared to the others, he could already be called a hero.
But …
Kou Mako wiped his face and revealed an excited smile. Was he really going to go back with his tail between his legs?
"Don't joke around!"
Kou Mako muttered to himself. "It wasn't easy for me to struggle out of that life full of shame and become a great Seer. I can fight for my happy future. How can I give up just like that!"
As he muttered to himself, he quietly crept out of the cave. Under the cover of the thick steam, he quietly poked his head out. On the radar, he could clearly see that there were two groups of demons wandering around him at this moment. One of the groups had a stronger signal, and there were more of them. They were the Uboris demons. They were good at magic, so their mental strength had a stronger reaction to detecting magic waves.
The signal of the other wave was weaker, and there were fewer of them. If he was not wrong, it should be the Nazura demons because the reaction of the Komala demons was between that of the Euboris demons and the Nazura demons, but it was more troublesome.
After thinking for a moment, Kou Mako decisively chose … the Uboris demons.
It was not that he was stupid, but because he had the protective inner armor and the magic energy armor's own shield. These two layers of protection allowed him to have a strong resistance in the face of magic. At the same time, the intelligent spellcasting system of the intelligent wristwatch allowed him to compete with the Uboris demons in terms of spellcasting.
Therefore, compared to the Nazura demons, although the Uboris demons were good at magic, the threat was lower.
The Nazura demons were different. They would not give you a chance to breathe. The moment they saw an enemy, they would rush up without hesitation. Their only goal was to kill you. They would use every part of their body that could be used as a weapon to kill you …
Logically speaking, Kou Mako really hated this kind of enemy.
Under the cover of the hot sulfur steam, Kou Mako quietly went around a gentle slope. Lying there, he could already see the three Uboris demons wandering a thousand meters away. After the bombardment, the number of demons on the Black Rain Plain had decreased a lot.
They were using a special method to summon their companions, but in the Bloody Battlefield near the Red Lake, the demons' main army had completely suppressed the demon army. There was no chance for them to send reinforcements for a while.
For the time being, the Black Rain Plain was safe.
Kou Mako licked his lips, then quietly put away the assault rifle, and took out the long-range and powerful electromagnetic sniper rifle from the slot on his back. He then crouched there and aimed at the chests of the Uboris demons in the distance.
Kou Mako had been patiently waiting for the opportunity to kill two birds with one stone. When half of the bodies of the two Uboris demons overlapped, he decisively pulled the trigger.
A special mass bullet was pushed out of the barrel by the strong electromagnetic force. Like a beam of blue light, the mass bullet flew at a speed close to Mach 6 and crossed a distance of a thousand meters in half a second. The huge impact brought by the terrible kinetic energy instantly shattered the chests of the two Uboris demons!
Kou Mako grinned and quickly turned his gun, locking onto another target: "Bong! … Have a good trip. This is a greeting from an ordinary human. "
But …
