"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
A barrage of skills exploded on the array barrier.
It was like a grand yet deadly fireworks display.
The intense explosion illuminated the entire sea area as bright as day, only to plunge it back into darkness in an instant.
Inside the command center, the piercing alarm blared incessantly.
More than half of the dozens of monitoring screens embedded in the wall were flashing a dangerous red, indicating that the energy barrier was being depleted at an alarming rate.
"What's going on? How much longer can the energy barrier hold?"
The outpost commander, Ichiro Matsushita, stared at the steadily decreasing energy bar on the main screen, his forehead covered in a fine layer of cold sweat.
A soldier in charge of monitoring was frantically operating the control panel with both hands, his face pale as he loudly reported.
"Sir! The attack frequency is too high! The energy consumption rate is thirty tis the normal rate!"
"At most...at most, I can hold on for another ten minutes!"
Matsukichiro's heart sank.
Ten minutes?
Are you kidding !
The protective array of this outpost is said to be of the highest standard, capable of withstanding attacks from SS-level powerhouses in succession for a full hour!
Now, he can't even last ten minutes?
How many people did the [N O V E L I G H T] Great Xia Kingdom send this ti?
He dared not hesitate any longer and roared angrily at the communications soldier.
"Contact Nagasaki headquarters imdiately! The outpost is under heavy attack from the main force of the Great Xia Kingdom! Requesting support! Imdiately! Right now!"
"yes!"
The communications soldier's fingers clattered on the keyboard, but a few seconds later, despair set off on his face.
"Sir! Communications are being heavily jamd! We...we can't get in touch with headquarters!"
"What?!"
Matsukichiro felt a chill run from the soles of his feet straight up to the top of his head.
Unable to contact headquarters ant they had beco an isolated island.
An isolated island...waiting to be destroyed.
Just then, a tremor heavier and more violent than any previous explosion suddenly ca from beneath their feet.
"Thump!!!"
It was more like a giant hamr from ancient tis, smashing heavily onto the island's foundation.
The entire command center jolted violently upwards, the ceiling lights flickered wildly, and countless specks of dust fell down.
Matsushita Ichiro imdiately had a very bad feeling.
He suddenly looked up and stared at the main screen.
On the screen, the thick fog that shrouded the island was sohow parted by an invisible force.
That's why he finally saw the source of the heavy impact.
Outside the array barrier, a colossal creature, towering to the heavens and standing upright, had appeared out of nowhere.
It was a giant beast that was at least ten ters tall.
It has a panda-like silhouette and is covered in thick white fur.
However, its limbs, back, and head were covered with layers of obsidian-like, ferocious, and heavy armor, gleaming with a cold tallic luster.
What is most chilling are its eyes, a pair of crimson orbs burning with raging fury, filled with a will of tyranny and destruction.
Iron-eating beast!
The na that had only appeared in ancient books flashed through Matsushiro's mind in an instant.
At this mont, the ancient ferocious beast was arching its body, repeatedly slamming its iron fist, which was larger than a car, against the pale golden array barrier.
"Thump!"
"Thump!"
"Thump!"
Each punch was accompanied by a deafening roar.
The sound seed to possess a magical power that could penetrate everything, ignoring the obstruction of buildings and striking directly into the hearts of every soldier in the command center, causing them to turn pale and have difficulty breathing.
"Baka! What kind of monster is that?!"
"At least hell level!"
Terrified screams erupted from the command center.
"Shut up, all of you!"
Matsushita yelled.
He tried to remain calm.
"What's the panic! It's just a beast!"
"All magic cannons! Abandon free fire! Lock onto that monster! Focus fire!"
"Fire!!"
The order was quickly relayed.
Buzz—
Dozens of magic cannons deployed throughout the island simultaneously turned their muzzles, emitting a piercing tallic scraping sound.
High-intensity energy rapidly converges at the muzzle, emitting a buzzing sound.
The next second.
Dozens of thick energy beams tore through the thick fog and darkness, striking the iron-eating beast with unparalleled precision, like long spears of judgnt.
However, the mont those energy beams touched the Iron-Eating Beast's black armor, they vanished instantly, like water splashing on a red-hot iron, rely creating a dazzling energy ripple.
Completely unhard!
The iron-eating beast didn't even flinch.
"roar!!!"
A deep roar ca from deep within the Iron-Eating Beast's throat.
He seed utterly enraged by these tickling attacks.
It no longer exists, and the frequency of attacks has suddenly increased!
"Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!"
More ferocious and denser fists rained down on the sa spot on the energy barrier.
"Crack..."
Matsukichiro suddenly looked up.
On the main screen, a tiny crack quietly appeared in the area that had been continuously bombarded by the Iron-Eating Beast.
Imdiately afterwards, the crack spread wildly in all directions at a visible speed, like a spider web that had been set ablaze.
It's over.
Only those two words remained in Matsukichiro's mind.
His legs gave way, and he slumped weakly into the conductor's chair behind him, his eyes vacant.
Outside the array barrier.
The iron-eating beast seed to sense the weakening of the barrier as well.
It let out a final roar and abruptly retracted its right fist.
The dark red patterns on the black armor covering its right arm suddenly lit up, bursting with dazzling light, and a wave of heat swept out.
Terrifying energy rapidly gathered in its fist.
The next second.
A punch, fully charged and imbued with earth-shattering power, crashed down!
"Boom!!!!"
An unprecedentedly loud explosion ripped through the air.
Under the desperate gaze of Matsushita Ichiro and all the soldiers guarding the island.
The array barrier shattered with a deafening roar!
Countless golden specks of light, like fireflies dancing in the sky, slowly drifted away in the night sky and finally returned to nothingness.
The Iron-Eating Beast slowly retracted its fist, took heavy steps, and stepped into the shattered area.
It was at this mont that...
The thick fog churning behind the iron-eating beast receded slowly to both sides, as if a curtain had been torn open by a pair of invisible hands.
Countless silent figures surged out from the thick fog.
They were all dressed in black combat uniforms, with a few barely noticeable green bamboo patterns adorning their arms and chests.
Its face is covered by a ferocious panda mask, revealing only a pair of cold eyes.
"Stop them! Stop them!"
An officer from the Sakura Kingdom roared, about to unleash his skill.
A dark figure appeared beside him like a ghost.
The cold blade silently sliced across his throat.
The skill in his hand ca to an abrupt end.
This seems to be a signal.
The next second, thousands of professionals from the Sichuan Military Departnt charged into the panicked defenders like tigers among sheep.
This was a massacre with no suspense whatsoever.
More accurately, it was a highly efficient and ruthless "cleanup".
