Chapter 266: Chapter 266: The Kill
"Qian Yun!"
At that moment, Qian Xing seized the opportunity and rushed toward Qian Yun, then vaulted into the air.
Qian Yun stomped the ground and jumped as well, quickly extending his left hand.
Qian Xing’s foot landed squarely on Qian Yun’s palm.
"Hah!"
Qian Yun unleashed a burst of Power, launching Qian Xing upward.
In an instant, Qian Xing raised his blade. He became a streak of light, plunging the weapon straight into Makari’s largest main eye.
CRACK!
The entire red main eye burst apart.
Qian Xing violently slashed downward.
His blade carved a gruesome gash down Makari’s body.
"ROAR!"
Makari let out a furious roar as the red light coursing through its body erupted. Fissures split open all over its form, each sprouting a dark-red eyeball.
"Look out! Get back!"
Qian Xing’s expression changed drastically as he shouted a warning.
"All of you, die!"
Makari unleashed its full Power.
Beams of red light swept out indiscriminately in all directions.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Many of the surrounding soldiers and tanks were caught in the beams, erupting in massive explosions.
Even some of the congregating Blood Breath Beasts were sliced apart by the beams.
When the attack ended, the area around Makari was completely cleared, leaving only Qian Xing and Qian Yun.
Qian Xing and Qian Yun looked grim. That single attack had wiped out several thousand of their soldiers.
But after its rampage, Makari also entered a weakened state. The red glow within its body had dimmed considerably, and its wounds were healing very slowly.
"It’s on its last legs."
Qian Xing said to Qian Yun.
"Hit it while it’s down! Concentrate all fire!"
Qiansha raised his hand and issued another command.
Tanks and spider-tanks charged in from the rear, unleashing a fierce barrage on Makari.
In the rear, dispersed heavy weapons like rocket trucks also launched a furious assault.
A sky full of shells rained down on Makari, exploding ceaselessly.
"Aargh~"
Makari’s body was blown to a bloody pulp, its tentacles shredded. Its massive form tipped over and crashed heavily to the ground.
BAM~
Dust and smoke billowed out.
The surrounding Blood Breath Beasts charged toward Makari in a frenzy.
But Luo Lie and the others gave these Blood Breath Beasts no quarter, charging forward without hesitation to intercept them.
"Now’s our chance!"
Qian Yun and Qian Xing charged forward simultaneously.
Sensing the danger, Makari struggled to rise, forcing its remaining tentacles to lash out at Qian Yun and Qian Xing.
Qian Xing swiftly dodged and leaped nimbly onto Makari’s body.
He plunged his blade into Makari’s flesh, slicing it open as he ran toward its head.
Sensing the threat of death, Makari forcibly spewed a massive cloud of red blood breath, blanketing the area in an attempt to drive Qian Xing back.
But it had underestimated Qian Xing’s determination.
Qian Xing pushed through the searing blood breath, struggling to slice open Makari’s body as he searched for a vital organ.
The surface of Qian Xing’s second-generation exoskeletal armor began to glow red, and his helmet’s virtual display flashed with red warning pop-ups.
"Warning: Armor surface temperature critical!"
...
Qian Xing ignored the warnings, calmly observing the gash he had carved into Makari.
Suddenly, a dark-red, tumorous sphere came into view.
"Qian Yun!"
Qian Xing roared.
"Get out of the way!"
Qian Yun’s furious roar echoed from behind him.
Qian Xing decisively leaped aside.
Qian Yun vaulted forward, flipping his mechanical Giant Hammer and bringing the spiked end down hard on Makari.
BAM~
The mechanical Giant Hammer tore through Makari’s flesh, striking the red, tumorous heart.
BOOM~
The entire tumor exploded!
"AARGH~"
Makari let out a deathly wail that echoed throughout the ruins of the royal city.
Having succeeded, Qian Xing and Qian Yun immediately leaped off Makari’s corpse.
SWOOSH! SWOOSH!
A sky full of artillery shells followed.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Violent explosions continued to wrack Makari’s body.
「Royal Palace Plaza.」
The Monarch-level Blood Breath Beast, Xi’om, heard Makari’s death wail and let out a heaven-shaking roar of its own.
"You bastards!"
Just then, the entire tumorous sphere began to tremble violently, as if sensing its mother’s life force fading.
Xi’om was startled and tried to placate Hilic.
"Hilic, no! You’re at the most critical stage right now. You must hold on."
The giant, tumorous sphere didn’t stop after hearing Xi’om’s words. It grew even more enraged, and tentacles sprouted from its red, fleshy base.
These tentacles wove together into a pair of enormous, bloody hands that pushed against the ground.
In an instant, the entire red tumor heaved itself off the ground and started to move forward.
"What are you doing? Don’t go!"
Xi’om was horrified. It quickly shot out its tentacles to bind Hilic’s tumorous body, trying to drag it back.
But Hilic didn’t stop, simply dragging Xi’om along as it moved.

「Mountain City Mountain – Artillery Position.」
A team of soldiers rushed over, escorting reserve gunners and mechanical technicians.
"Hurry, get the undamaged heavy weapons restarted and support the front line!"
...
An old man with graying hair and a solemn expression, clad in exoskeletal armor, roared anxiously as he led a group of soldiers, firing at Blood Breath Bats and other monsters.
"Yes, Commander Zhao Yi!"
Numerous gunners rushed forward to replace their fallen comrades.
The technicians quickly repaired the heavy weapons with minor damage.
BANG! BANG!
Soon, the heavy weapons were brought back online one after another and resumed their attack.
「Behind the C11 Defensive Line.」
Long Ming and Jing Chuan hurried back, only to be met with the sight of countless Blood Breath Beasts surging toward them like a tide.
BANG! BANG!
The artillery position in the rear continuously fired dense volleys of rockets and shells.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Fierce explosions ripped through the monster tide, but the effect was far from ideal.
Even though the artillery position had been reactivated, its firepower was noticeably weaker. It wasn’t enough to suppress the tide of monsters.
The monster tide slammed relentlessly into the tank units. Large numbers of Blood Breath Beasts breached the defensive line of tanks and charged straight for the trenches.
Many defensive sectors had already devolved into close-quarters combat. Soldiers in exoskeletal armor brandished melee weapons, charging in to fight the monsters hand-to-hand and buy time for their comrades in the rear.
"How did it get this bad?"
Jing Chuan said, his expression grim as he surveyed the brutal battlefield.
"No time to talk. We need to help, now!"
Long Ming rushed toward a silent machine gun nest, leaped into the trench, and began firing the machine gun at the charging Blood Breath Beasts.
Jing Chuan followed suit, grabbing another machine gun next to Long Ming and opening fire.
BANG! BANG!
Blood Breath Beasts were gunned down one after another.
But more and more Blood Breath Beasts kept surging forward.
Long Ming and Jing Chuan both pulled out and threw spinning grenades.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Unfortunately, it was just a drop in the bucket. The tide of Blood Breath Beasts continued to advance.
"Dammit, we don’t have enough firepower!"
Jing Chuan was growing frantic.
If the monster tide reached the trenches, the defensive line would be considered lost.
Not everyone in the Mountain City Mountain forces was equipped with personal mechanical armor. Most wore only bulletproof vests and combat fatigues, so they stood no chance against the Blood Breath Beasts in close combat. For them, getting close meant certain death.
