Chapter 538 - 530: Let Sister Beat You All Limp!
"This is the skill I’ve developed after evolving to A-level, and I call it—Curse Source!"
"The principle behind it is to create a penetrable layer of spiritual power barrier, which automatically triggers the preset curse whenever it gets touched!"
Moyu boasted happily, "I created a Curse Barrier in front of the Space Crack that guarantees any creature falling through it will break its legs unless they are very small Magic Beasts. Even if I leave, the curse still works~"
"How is it, impressive right?" Moyu looked for praise.
"You evolved to A-level?! When did that happen? How come I didn’t know?" Qian Qi, more shocked by Moyu’s secret evolution to A-level than the new skill.
Seeing Qian Qi so shocked, Moyu, instantly agitated, raised a wing to slap her arm, "Pay more attention to me! If not for you always ignoring me, would I be stuck in the Secret Realm just training and leveling up?"
Filthy Contractor!
Other Contractors nurture their Contracted Beasts frequently; hers might as well be nonexistent! It’s like having a wife but not letting her warm the bed!
Ohhh, it’s so miserable!
"You can’t have both money and love," Qian Qi sheepishly touched the tip of her nose, hurriedly changing the topic, "Can this Spirit Barrier exist indefinitely or is there a time limit? Will it still function if you leave?"
"Yes, it’s already affecting that space, though there is indeed a time limit. With my current ability, it can only exist for an hour."
An hour!
So for that hour, any Magic Beast crossing this Spirit Barrier will break its leg?!
It’s unbelievably powerful!
Seeing Qian Qi’s eager glance, even rubbing her hands together, Moyu panicked and retreated a few steps, shouting, "I can only create two more of these Spirit Barriers at most! Don’t think I’m going to curse all the Space Cracks! I’ll exhaust myself!"
Qian Qi finally gave up the idea of overworking it, "Alright, let’s find two more large Space Cracks."
Finding Space Cracks is easy, with the system guiding the way, Moyu quickly placed Curse Barriers at the two largest Space Cracks in Qing City.
As for Qian Qi, she drew an A-level stick from her foot and drove the Hovercar toward those Magic Beasts whose legs haven’t been cursed yet.
Hehehehe.
Be good, Beasties, don’t run, let sister beat you lame!
On the other side.
Qing City, Gong Family Army headquarters.
A piercing communication request blared; the commander frowned and answered the call while sipping hot tea.
"Commander! Space Crack fluctuations detected in Red Ancient District! A large number of Advanced Magical Beasts are emerging!"
"Tsk, another Space Crack? Which team is freer now? Send them over!"
"Only Team Seven has completed their battle and is clearing leftover Magic Beasts..."
"Then assign Team Seven to support Red Ancient District, make sure to intercept that group of Magic Beasts!"
"But the location shows it’s very close to the neighboring city’s population center! Team Seven is at the far west in Mingsha District, it might be too late to make it!"
"Too late or not, they must go! Ensure Qing City’s defense line remains secure, don’t let the Magic Beast Tide spread, or they’ll face severe consequences!"
"But..."
"No buts, execute the order immediately!" the commander barked, hanging up promptly.
Team Seven received the task; the sky seemed to fall.
They tried to appeal to their superiors to contact the commander, asking to alter the strategy, at least deploying troops closer to Red Ancient District first and then sending Team Seven to cover the positions of the redeployed troops, which was better than sending Team Seven directly to Red Ancient District.
Unfortunately, their superiors regretfully informed that the commander would not change the strategy.
"Damn it! How did that Shen even get to be commander? Every strategy is a mess, killing so many of our brothers!" a warrior couldn’t help but curse.
"Drop the complaints; use the time to hurry to Red Ancient District!"
Team Seven’s commanding officer directed grumblingly, "If we can’t complete the mission, it won’t be pleasant for any of us."
The commanding officer of Team Seven didn’t believe he could hold the defense line in Red Ancient District, having been through many battles knowing that at their speed, they couldn’t possibly catch up with those A-level Magical Beasts.
Even if they caught up, given the current intelligence on Magic Beast numbers, their entire team might have to sacrifice themselves.
But the orders had to be followed; knowing it was an impossible task, the Gong family operated with strict orders. They faced death either way if they went or not.
Unless a miracle happened.
...
A miracle appeared!!!
At the Red Ancient District’s defense line, Team Seven’s commanding officer stared shocked at the Advanced Magical Beasts hobbling in front of the vehicle, jaw nearly dropping in disbelief, thinking he must be dreaming.
They arrived at Red Ancient District to find the Space Crack had disappeared; as they pursued the Magic Beasts’ direction, expecting to miss them, they unexpectedly discovered their movement was quite slow.
When they caught up, most Advanced Magical Beasts had limped legs and seemed seriously injured, making it easier to clear them by targeting their wounds.
"Could it be that Shen predicted they were injured, so he ordered us Team Seven here?"
The warrior who previously cursed the commander muttered, given most monitoring in Qing City was damaged, the thermal devices were still operational; was Shen perceptive enough to notice something unusual from thermal videos and dared order Team Seven from the furthest point near Red Ancient District to clear the Magic Beasts?
It didn’t seem like Shen was that smart, right?
"Perhaps..." Team Seven’s commanding officer said with a complex tone, "Or else, who could have purposely disabled them, by beating them?"
The commanding officer didn’t know he had half-guessed correctly; at this moment, he felt grateful these Magic Beasts were injured, reducing their workload by about forty percent, saving lives that seemed of little value to some, sparing them from dying of exhaustion on the battlefield.
Also saving the neighboring city’s residents who are unaware of the looming threat.
"Let’s disembark!" With newfound lightness, he commanded, "We can survive."
The war to defend humanity unfolded as usual on this land, yet this time, there was something different.
Perhaps in the future, there will be more differences.
Who knows?
