The wolf pack leaped out from the shadows, instantly engulfing the convoy.
Shadow wolves were assigned weak targets, no matter what rank they were.
But this shadow wolf was indeed a City-breaking Level Demon, possessing the mighty power to destroy a town single-handedly.
Conventional weapons struggle to kill City-breaking Level Demons; employing powerful Engravers against them is the most cost-effective approach.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The doors of the armored vehicles burst open, and the Hunters rushed out. Engravings lit up among the wolf pack as they used bullets and blades to kill the lesser shadow wolves.
Li Xinyue moved among them, two engravings unfolding behind her.
One was called [Gentle Breeze], the other [Extension].
[Gentle Breeze] granted her agility and a slight control over airflow. After performing the second engraving [Extension], her agility reached a new level, and the superpower that could originally only cause a light breeze had now evolved into a fierce gale. If she concentrated, it could even blow a person away.
Li Xinyue grabbed a machine gun with her left hand and gripped a spear tightly in her right. After kicking open the car door, the first thing she did was sweep with the machine gun.
Of course, her goggles marked each teammate’s position, and Li Xinyue avoided them when shooting.
The other Hunters did the sa.
Interwoven lines of fire sliced easily through the wolf pack, tearing them to pieces.
These lesser shadow wolves were not Demons; they were rely derivatives of the shadow wolf without the authority granted by the Abyss for deflection shields.
Yet the wolf pack was so vast, constantly erging from the shadows of the armored vehicles and the Hunters. While firing, Li Xinyue had to divert her attention to deal with lesser shadow wolves erging from her shadow and lunging from the armored vehicles’ shadows beside her.
As long as the shadow wolf’s Magic Power remained, their numbers were endless.
But to deplete a City-breaking Level Demon’s Magic Power was a ridiculous notion.
Yin Guangming took out his protective weapon and pulled the trigger at the lesser shadow wolves lunging at him.
Flas shaped like a rhombus appeared at the muzzle, summoning a tallic storm.
The bodies of the lesser shadow wolves were made of Magic Power. When killed, Magic Power would dissipate, allowing Yin Guangming to quickly restore his own Magic Power.
He had fired twice, depleting over half of his internal Magic Power, unable to sustain a third shot.
Although Yin Guangming could choose to lower output power and enchant the bullets, it would be difficult to harm the shadow wolves.
"Protect yourselves! Everyone must survive; we have to return to Blue Star together!"
Second Squadron’s vice-captain Cheng Qing, having cleared the lesser shadow wolves around him, roared, charging resolutely at the shadow wolf.
Three engravings blood behind him, the third nearing completion, making him the third strongest Hunter here, aside from Guo Cuii and Yin Guangming.
As the third strongest, he had a mission to complete before Yin Guangming recovered: to contain the shadow wolf.
The marking devices could be destroyed. If their number reduced to fewer than three, the strong magnetic field binding the shadow wolf would disappear, allowing it to vanish into the shadows again.
At that point, not even Yin Guangming could attack it across dinsions.
Cheng Qing bore the [Warrior] series, and his triple engravings of [Gunpowder], [Strength], and [Enhancent] granted him imnsely powerful combat abilities. With external armor, he could even fight a City-breaking Level Demon.
— Here, ’City-breaking Level Demon’ specifically referred to the shadow wolf.
As Cheng Qing charged at the shadow wolf, the sudden sound of an engine revved up.
Yan Luo, riding a motorcycle, slamd into the wolf pack, sending the lesser shadow wolves in front of him flying.
"Yan Luo!"
Noticing Yan Luo’s intrusion, Li Xinyue’s face changed dramatically, "What are you doing?"
Yan Luo was just an ordinary person, without the power of engravings. When facing Demons one-on-one, he could only rely on his knowledge of Demons to find their weaknesses, playing to his strengths.
Conventional weapons were effective against Dangerous and Lethal level Demons, but this shadow wolf was City-breaking level!
Yan Luo didn’t reply; he demonstrated his stance through actions.
The motorcycle charging straight into the wolf pack sent many lesser shadow wolves flying. As the motorcycle advanced, its montum waned, and it couldn’t gather speed, blocked by several lesser shadow wolves in Yan Luo’s path.
With his left hand, he drew a long-barrel shotgun, aid at a lesser shadow wolf, and pulled the trigger. With his right hand, he drew a long knife, spun it, and impaled the head of an oncoming lesser shadow wolf into the ground.
Yan Luo kicked forward, allowing a lesser shadow wolf to bite his ankle, racked the shotgun back, chambered a round.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Shot after shot fired, each killing at least one lesser shadow wolf.
When the magazine ran dry, Yan Luo stowed the long-barrel shotgun, drew a short-barrel shotgun from his waist, and aid it at the lesser shadow wolf biting his ankle.
At this point, Yan Luo’s front was cleared, but many lesser shadow wolves gathered behind him, surrounding him.
Pulling out the long knife stuck in the ground, Yan Luo remotely controlled the motorcycle to return.
Although just a few ters of space, it was enough for the motorcycle to accelerate.
The tire spun in place, and monts later, the motorcycle shot towards Yan Luo like an arrow.
At the mont he was about to collide with the motorcycle, Yan Luo suddenly leaped, vaulting over the top, and the motorcycle crashed into the wolf pack gathered behind Yan Luo.
Then, the motorcycle perford a beautiful 180-degree tail whip, sending several lesser shadow wolves flying, and charged towards its master.
A lesser shadow wolf peeked out from Yan Luo’s shadow, attempting to attack him, only to see a rapidly enlarging spinning tire, as the motorcycle ran over its face.
Like a chariot, the motorcycle plowed in the direction Yan Luo pointed, knocking away nurous lesser shadow wolves.
As the motorcycle stopped, Yan Luo caught up, leaped high, used the saddle as leverage to gain more altitude.
Several lesser shadow wolves used their companions’ bodies to jump high as well, but Yan Luo swung his long knife, slicing two, and then threw the knife, pinning a third to the ground.
In mid-air, Yan Luo’s body rotated.
He drew the preheated heat-lting axe with the montum of his spin, as a surge of light and heat erupted under the blood moon.
And at this mont, he was above the shadow wolf.
"Get out of the way!"
Seeing Yan Luo’s action, Cheng Qing instantly realized his intention and roared, bursting through the lesser shadow wolves’ interception straight at the shadow wolf itself.
Even if such a reckless charge would injure his exoskeleton, or even himself, it didn’t matter.
The one-eyed shadow wolf lifted its head to look at its ’prey,’ the blazing hot axe etched in its mory. It instinctively whimpered, curling its body.
The lesser shadow wolves paused for an instant, then turned to lunge at the main body, seeking to form a barrier with their own bodies.
"Beast, don’t you dare!"
Cheng Qing shouted, throwing a powerful punch.
The shadow wolf main body didn’t even notice him; it was hit on the head by Cheng Qing and collapsed.
Yan Luo descended with the heat-lting axe in hand, the lesser shadow wolves lunged from all directions, attempting to bite or knock him away.
But his descent could not be disturbed by these lesser shadow wolves.
Yan Luo plumted straight down, his swung heat-lting axe cutting directly into the shadow wolf’s head.
Instantly, the shadow wolf’s head broke and bled!
But, that’s all it did.
— It was a City-breaking Level Demon!
Countless lesser shadow wolves surged like a rising tsunami towards Yan Luo, but he stood firm, shouting to Cheng Qing, "Together!"
Yan Luo first grabbed the shadow wolf main body’s hindquarters, and Cheng Qing seized the shadow wolf’s head.
Suddenly, the shadow wolf realized sothing, attempting to struggle, but Yan Luo and Cheng Qing exerted their strength at the sa ti, tossing its body into the air.
In mid-air, without any cover and with its deflection shield shattered, the shadow wolf main body frantically attempted to control the lesser shadow wolves to shield it, but it was too late.
A jet stream pierced through the sky, blasting through the shadow wolf’s head. Yin Guangming coldly pulled back the bolt, ejecting the third bullet casing from the chamber.
Boom!
The shadow wolf’s body exploded, the ground wolves followed in suit, bursting into clusters of Magic Power.
The Magic Power coalesced in the air, forming an object that fell down.
But no one focused on the falling object; they turned their attention to the raised dust field beyond the convoy.
