Chapter 25: A Sword Piercing the Darkness
“Rumble!”
With a sound like a knife piercing flesh, the golden Time Shuttle plunged into the Leviathan’s interior.
Although the Leviathan’s tentacles tried to stop it, the Time Shuttle’s material was exceptionally sturdy—even armor-piercing rounds couldn’t penetrate it, let alone those soft tentacles.
“Everyone be careful.”
“Hold on tight!”
The scenery outside the window instantly turned pitch black, like diving into a pile of mud.
But soon, the surroundings changed. It was a hall entirely composed of flesh walls. As far as the eye could see, there were halls made of tentacles and flesh walls, like scenes that could only appear in nightmares.
“The Leviathan’s interior… is hollow?”
“Of course. Otherwise, how would it fly and transport exotic beasts?”
“Wuwu?”
“Naturally. Inside, it’s similar to human ships, with different functional divisions. I’m going to destroy the Leviathan’s core now. Lonis, you stay here and behave.”
…
…
After speaking, Elus rushed out to battle without delay.
Isumi, Senior Zhisheng Luo, and Dean Emerald also followed. Kiriyu was responsible for the ship’s vigilance, while Mi Xue Zhou and Senior Yan were in charge of communications.
Lonis and Su Ling Zhou, however, still had nothing to do.
“Lonis, that’s great! It’s our turn to handle logistics again!”
“Wuwu…”
“Su Ling, don’t you feel it’s a shame?”
Lonis felt quite disappointed that she couldn’t accompany Elus this time.
However, Su Ling tilted her head and asked blankly, “A shame? Why is it a shame?”
“It’s a rare opportunity, of course, to crush those demon beasts.”
“Yes, you’re right, Lonis! But Su Ling thinks staying at the main camp is also a very important task.”
“Eh?”
“Because, Lonis, everyone else is out there fighting bravely, right? They’ll definitely come back dirty and exhausted. Isn’t this the perfect time for us to help them?”
“Uh?”
Lonis’s body trembled. She suddenly felt that what Su Ling said made some sense.
In fact… war was indeed like that.
Once a battle occurred, the personnel needed for logistics far exceeded those fighting on the front lines.
“So, Lonis, let’s quickly prepare some blankets. We should also place plush toys in key positions so that everyone will be in a good mood when they return.”
“Mm…”
While Lonis was preparing to welcome everyone back, on the other side, Elus was in the midst of a fierce battle.
“Elus, over here!”
“Mm.”
Elus raised the Crimson Lotus War Hammer and stared at a Fierce Teeth Wolf pouncing towards her.
These exotic beasts were not strong. They resembled wolves, and their eyes had degenerated from walking in darkness for extended periods, making them almost unable to see. However, their hearing was exceptionally sharp, able to detect the sound of airflow.
But in front of Elus, they were like a group of fools.
Under the black light radiation, the air seemed to solidify. These Fierce Teeth Wolves couldn’t determine the girls’ positions at all. Despite their numbers, they could only be cut down one by one by the group.
“Ming Jin Sword!”
Zhisheng Luo waved her hand, and a blade pierced the throat and chest of a Fierce Teeth Wolf.
However, quite bizarrely, the Fierce Teeth Wolf’s back was completely unharmed—this was the Ming Jin weapon that Zhisheng Luo possessed. Her long sword could freely switch between solid and void states, directly striking the opponent’s internal organs.
Isumi’s halberd-staff in her hand was equally formidable.
Not only was it extremely sharp for slashing, but under the illumination of its clear light, almost all the Fierce Teeth Wolves seemed to have been X-rayed, their outer skin becoming faintly translucent.
Blood vessels and internal organs were clearly visible, and the heart was glowing with an orange light—so everyone could hit the weak points directly without any guesswork.
…
In just a quarter of an hour, the group had annihilated over a hundred Fierce Teeth Wolves.
However, at this moment, Dean Emerald suddenly warned:
“Everyone, be careful. The commander of this Leviathan is here. It should be a Rank 7 Yixiu Lord.”
“Hmph, just a Yixiu Lord? That’s not enough to impress me…”
Elus sneered coldly. In fact, she had personally killed an 8th-rank Yixiu royalty before. With so many companions by her side now, a Yixiu Lord shouldn’t pose any danger.
However, Emerald shook her head:
“She is not a native, but a mutated form.”
“Mutated form… Be careful!”
…
…
Rumble, accompanied by a violent crashing sound.
The wall made of flesh was forcefully breached.
And from within emerged a woman with long black hair.
Her height was about 1.8 meters, her skin was a grayish-blue, and she wore no clothing.
Although her figure appeared pleasing, upon closer inspection, many strange details could be seen—for example, the high heels on her feet were actually not shoes but fused with her feet.
Dark black patterns spread across her wrists and ankles. While they looked like stockings, they were more like a strange shockproof suit.
Her eyes held no emotion, transforming into a bottomless black.
It was somewhat similar to Isumi’s eyes… but Isumi’s eyes were more like calm, whereas this woman’s eyes held an indescribable resentment.
However, none of this was the most important thing.
The most important thing was…
“Captain Elus, there’s no need to be soft-hearted.”
Isumi’s body suddenly twitched.
Usually, this orange-haired girl appeared unfazed by anything she saw. But at this moment, she displayed a very complex expression.
“This is…”
Zhisheng Luo also seemed to have discovered something and gasped.
“Hoo… I understand. Then let me join forces to defeat her… We’ll discuss the aftermath after we win.”
Elus also clenched her fist, as if having made a decision, and charged forward.
—————–
Rumble, clang!
Listening to the sounds from afar, Lonis clenched her fist nervously.
Although she trusted Elus,
Every time she saw the black-haired girl go into battle, her heart was always filled with anxiety.
Afraid that Elus would be defeated, afraid that she would be captured by the demon race and never be able to return.
Lonis also knew that her worries were unfounded. If Elus had to take care of her during the battle, it might distract her even more.
(No, I won’t die! So I’m not afraid of danger… Does Elus not want me to feel pain?)
Realizing that Elus was protecting her, Lonis was startled, and the sweat on her hands flowed even more.
If she never saw Elus again, if Elus was violated by the demon race, she would definitely regret it immensely.
But at this moment, Su Ling suddenly jumped up and said to Lonis,
“Lonis, look quickly!”
“Eh?”
“It’s everyone, everyone seems to be rushing back! Huh… What are they carrying on their backs?”
