Da! Da! Da! Da!
The sound of gunfire rang out continuously as countless bullets poured forth.
All of Umbrella's tactical personnel had cold expressions, showing no rcy despite their targets being won.
They were confident.
They could turn those won into swiss cheese without harming Ayato in the slightest.
But the next mont,
everyone was shocked.
They saw a wisp of breeze drift by, and all the bullets they had fired ca to a complete standstill in mid-air in an inconceivable manner.
Everyone who witnessed this showed looks of shock and disbelief.
'What was happening?'
'Was the target before us another monster secretly created by Umbrella?'
Spurt! Spurt! Spurt!
All the bullets flew backwards, striking their owners.
Under the influence of an invisible force, each bullet seed to turn into a cannonball.
The bodies of all the personnel exploded violently, scattering red and white matter across the ground.
"Wh-who exactly are you?"
Cain, having snapped back to reality, spoke tremblingly. "Not only lightning, but you can also control the power of wind?"
"To be honest, I do admire you a bit."
Ayato shrugged casually. "You witnessed my power, yet you chose to attack without investigating properly."
"Of course, I'm sure you wouldn't have found anything anyway."
"Wh-what do you an?"
Cain stepped back subconsciously, and the helicopters in the sky also began adjusting their weapon angles.
"Saeko, you handle it."
"Yes!"
Saeko leaped into the air. Mid-flight, a pair of black wings unfurled from her back, her eerie aura instantly enveloping the entire area.
'A De... Devil?'
Looking at Saeko, everyone felt their scalps tingle, their minds going blank.
'Our opponent was a Devil?'
'What kind of joke was this?'
'What were the Umbrella Corporation's top executives thinking?'
…
On the other side,
Saeko's eyes flickered with excitent.
Finally,
She could fight with all her strength.
Although killing the zombies had been very satisfying...
She always felt like sothing was missing.
Hum!
A crimson light flashed, and Saeko's body was covered in a layer of delicate red armor.
Her long blade flashed, emanating a sharp killing intent.
Swish!
The air was torn apart.
It seed as if several red shooting stars shot forth, sweeping towards the dozen or so helicopters.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Thunderous booms echoed one after another.
The surrounding helicopters were sliced in two, causing terrifying explosions.
Glancing at the surrounding buildings, Ayato praised, "Very good. In such a short ti, your control over your power has improved by several levels."
Hearing this, Saeko was overjoyed.
'Master had praised again.'
Unconsciously, her body trembled slightly.
On the other hand,
Cain was completely terrified.
"Impossible. This is the age of technology. Devils can't exist. You must be so company's biochemical product."
Cain stepped back, muttering to himself.
Of course…
Rather than saying he couldn't believe it...
It was more accurate to say he was rejecting reality, instinctively protecting himself.
"Believe whatever you want."
Ayato glanced at Shizuuka.
She imdiately understood and walked towards Cain, dragging her blade.
"Don't worry. I'll make it quick."
Shizuuka's expression was calm, as if she were about to slaughter a chicken.
Although she had been an ordinary person before...
After being baptized by so many zombies...
She was numb to killing.
"Yo-you can't kill ."
Cain scread in terror. "This city is about to be cleansed by humanity's most powerful weapon. A yield of a full 5,000 tons. Not even a Devil can stop it."
As soon as these words were spoken...
The expressions of Jill and the others changed.
If that were true, the entire city would likely beco a dead zone.
Sensing the change in the won's expressions, Cain said smugly, "It's not too late to surrender. I can still..."
"Shizuuka, do it."
"Yes!"
Shizuuka raised her blade and brought it down.
Puchi!
Blood sprayed.
Cain's head flew high into the air.
His face was filled with terror and disbelief.
He completely failed to understand why the other side had acted so decisively.
"Master, should we call Alice and the others back and leave quickly?"
Jill suggested. "If what he said is true, this city is no longer safe."
"That won't do."
Ayato smiled. "I promised my cute servants I would protect this city."
"Besides, what right does a re 'ultimate weapon of humanity' have to make retreat?"
"Then, Master, what do you plan to do?"
"Simple. Just block it."
Ayato said calmly, "Winds, heed my command..."
As if an ancient, vast voice echoed, a great wind swept across the entire sky and earth.
Under the awestruck gaze of countless people, countless hurricanes gathered on the outskirts of the city, forming what seed to be an invisible barrier.
Originally...
There was no need to place the barrier so far outside the city.
But as everyone knew...
The true terror of humanity's ultimate weapon wasn't the explosion, but the horrific radiation. Naturally, Ayato had to account for that.
Of course,
With his abilities, there were better solutions.
But,
He had no fondness for this place.
He was doing this only because of Alice's request.
He wasn't interested in wasting ti on anything else.
Before long...
A missile tore through the sky and impacted the barrier.
Boom!
A vast, surging light illuminated the night.
A gigantic mushroom cloud shot straight into the sky, rising like a blazing sun.
The terrifying explosion, carrying earth-shattering aftershocks, rolled out in all directions.
Everything around was completely destroyed.
But the entire wind barrier remained as firm as a mountain.
The city within rely trembled slightly.
"Th-this is it?"
Jill took a deep breath and finally sighed. "As expected of Master's power."
"These are small matters."
Ayato said indifferently. "With effort and your Subspecies Balance Breaker, you could do all this too."
"Roar! Roar! Roar!"
Just then, more zombies ca running from afar.
Shizuuka was about to raise her blade to strike...
But these zombies fell to the ground like cut wheat.
'It seed Rei and Alice had succeeded over there.' (T/N: I'll be using just Alice since there's difference between her na and Irisviel in English.)
Seeing this, a knowing look appeared on Ayato's face.
This was clearly...
Umbrella activating its large-scale virus counterasure.
