Chapter 263: Chapter 263: Freelancers

Brucku continued to lumber forward, repeatedly opening its mouth to snatch up fleeing women and children, cruelly crushing and swallowing them.

Bits of flesh and severed limbs fell to the ground.

"Bastard! Stop it!"

A garrison squad leader and his subordinates opened fire in anger, but it had no effect at all.

"Oh god, we can’t stop it!"

The reporter, Xu Tao, watched the tragic scene, his eyes red as he reported.

Everyone watching fell silent.

Just then, a series of impassioned shouts rang out.

"We’re here to help!"

Startled, Xu Tao looked up.

He saw Shi Qiang, members of other small guilds, and numerous freelancers charging in from all directions, attacking Brucku with all kinds of weapons.

BANG! BANG!

Bullets of all calibers, rockets, and mortar shells rained down on Brucku.

BOOM!

Stung by the concentrated fire, Brucku roared in fury. It turned its head toward Shi Qiang and the other freelancers and charged.

"Holy shit!"

Shi Qiang and the others scrambled to dodge.

"AHH!"

Seven or eight freelancers couldn’t dodge in time and were crushed.

Shi Qiang and the others felt their hearts tremble, terrified to their very core. But not a single one of them retreated. They continued to besiege Brucku with everything they had.

...

「Sinful City.」

Crowds of citizens were watching the live broadcast of the battle at Mountain City Mountain.

Although the fighting on the outer defensive lines of Sinful City and Star Tower was also intense, their situations were much better than Mountain City Mountain’s.

So far, the monster tides there were being held firmly outside the safe zone.

Of course, this wasn’t to say that Sinful City and Star Tower were stronger than Mountain City Mountain. This situation had arisen mainly because Mountain City Mountain’s elite forces were currently attacking the Aniska Royal City.

Therefore, Mountain City Mountain’s defensive forces were weaker than the other two cities.

The viewers in the live stream chat were constantly discussing the situation.

"The people at Mountain City Mountain suck. They’re total garbage. How long has it even been? And they’ve already let monsters into the city."

"Are you brain-dead? You think this is a game? If Mountain City Mountain falls, we’ll be attacked from the rear."

"Haha, like I give a shit. It’d be great if they all died. I’d be ecstatic."

"Fuck you!"

"Don’t bother talking to people like that. They’re obviously tired of living and want to drag everyone down with them."

"You don’t get it. These guys are all talk. The second a monster is in their face, they’ll be more scared of dying than anyone."

"Yeah, you’re all so tough. When you’re dying, I’ll be sure to applaud."

"Screw you!"

...

Just then, a comment scrolled across the screen.

"Forget that idiot! Look at the top of the residential building on the north side of the stream!"

Everyone who saw the comment looked.

A figure could be seen leaping and running across the rooftops of the residential buildings at incredible speed, rapidly approaching the battlefield.

"Whoa, is that Superman?"

"Sick!"

...

Countless similar comments flooded the screen.

「Mountain City Mountain, Lower District - Wave Street.」

Shi Qiang and the others desperately fired at Brucku without pause, tossing grenades at it.

BOOM!

The various attacks exploded against Brucku’s body, blasting open small wounds, but they healed in the blink of an eye.

"No way!"

Seeing this, Shi Qiang and the others fell into despair.

Just then, Brucku turned its head, locked onto Shi Qiang, and grabbing a nearby car, hurled it at him.

’I’m done for!’

Shi Qiang watched the car fly toward him, terrified, raising his hands to cover his head.

CRASH!

At that moment, Long Ming leaped down from the roof of the residential building behind Shi Qiang and, raising his left arm, caught the flying car bare-handed.

Shi Qiang, realizing he wasn’t dead, looked up and saw a figure catching the car with his bare hands. His eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

The reporter, Xu Tao, stammered in astonishment,

"Am I seeing things? Did he just catch a car with his bare hands?"

"Holy shit, who is that?!"

"He’s so strong!"

"Look at his gear! I’ve never seen anything like it."

...

The previously silent live stream chat instantly erupted.

Just then, another car came flying.

"Watch out!"

Shi Qiang shouted in terror.

Long Ming casually tossed aside the car in his hands, then swung his Dark Blade, cleaving the incoming vehicle in two with a single slash.

"Holy shit! Badass!"

"*Hiss*... His skills are insane!"

"When did Mountain City Mountain get an expert this powerful?"

"No idea!"

...

Everyone began to speculate.

Shi Qiang swallowed hard.

Brucku turned its ferocious gaze on Long Ming and let out a piercing roar.

"ROAR!"

Not to be outdone, Long Ming raised his Dark Blade and pointed it at Brucku.

...

「Ruins of the Aniska Royal City.」

After the baptism of the Nuclear Bomb, the once incomparably prosperous city was now nothing but charred architectural remains.

"ROAR!"

Surviving Blood Breath Beasts crawled out from the ruins one by one.

They rapidly absorbed the radiation and devoured the corpses of their comrades, quickly beginning to evolve.

But before they could finish evolving...

BANG! BANG!

A dense rain of bullets and shells fell directly upon them.

BOOM!

One by one, the evolving Blood Breath Beasts were blasted to bits.

Heavy tanks and spider tanks bulldozed a path forward, followed by soldiers in exoskeleton armor or protective headgear.

"Listen up! If any Blood Breath Beast isn’t completely dead, I want it flattened!"

Qian Yun gave the order to the entire army over his wireless communication device.

"Yes, sir!"

A chorus of impassioned voices replied.

BANG! BANG!

The heavy tanks and spider tanks forged ahead. Whenever they spotted an evolving Blood Breath Beast, they would immediately turn their cannons and blast it with a single shot.

These Blood Breath Beasts, caught in the middle of evolving, were killed off before they could grow stronger.

Thus, as the troops pushed into the middle region of the outer city, many of the remaining high-level Blood Breath Beasts shrieked and charged toward Qian Yun and his men.

Unfortunately, their numbers were far too few.

The main force unleashed a ferocious assault, and the dense rain of bullets riddled their bodies, turning them into beehives.

The entire force advanced like a hot knife through butter.

At that moment, the Monarch-level Makari floated out of the royal palace. It immediately extended bloody tentacles to bind the Blood Breath Beast corpses on the ground, rapidly decomposing and absorbing them to heal its injuries.

But this alone was not enough. The Monarch-level Makari raised its head and let out a peculiar cry.

Instantly, the entire ground began to shake violently.

Ant-like Blood Breath Ants, their bodies covered in red fleshy tumors and their heads dotted with deformed eyes; swarms of scorpion-like Blood Breath Scorpions, covered in red bumps, with giant pincers and stinging tails; and countless Blood Breath Spiders crawled out from various underground exits, swarming toward Makari.

At the same time, several Blood Breath Birds in the sky flew toward the monster tide heading south.

The Monarch-level Makari watched the gathering Blood Breath Beasts. It extended a multitude of tentacles, binding the Blood Breath Ants, Blood Breath Spiders, and other monsters, and quickly sucked them into its body.

"Not enough!"

Makari looked at its constantly regenerating body and let out a piercing screech.

Just then, two creatures emerged from the monster tide: a Lord Level Blood Breath Ant, five meters tall and eight meters long, and a Lord Level Blood Breath Scorpion, six meters tall and nine meters long. They came before the Monarch-level Makari and emitted a peculiar cry.

"Very good. Your sacrifice will not be in vain. Those ants must all die!"

The Monarch-level Makari extended two bloody tentacles, plunging them into the bodies of the Lord Level Blood Breath Ant and the Lord Level Blood Breath Scorpion.
