Chapitre 18: All hell Break Loose
The sun had completely set, the dim light of the basecamp lights flashed one by one.
Meanwhile, Audrey set the fire and prepared dinner for everyone.
"Thank you, Audrey," said Elena as she sat down at the dining table, followed by the others.
"I never thought I could go on a mission with you, Elena," said Audrey in a soft voice who happened to be sitting next to Elena.
Elena only replied to Audrey's words with a smile, then ate her meal quietly. For a few moments, no one spoke and the only sound was the clink of spoons and plates made of aluminum foil.
"Alright, tomorrow morning, we will attack the enemy base," said Elena once she devoured the last piece of her meal.
"Are we going to do kiting?" asked Yunyun, who was already very familiar with Elena's methods.
Elena immediately opened the minimap and pointed to a point as all the Team members stood around the map.
"Yep, you read my mind. I'll draw their attention while you guys ambush the enemies here."
"Isn't that too dangerous?" Yunyun asked.
"Don't worry, I can take care of the rest," said Elena as she patted Yunyun's shoulder.
Rocky, the bulky young man, kept rubbing his head because he was still confused about what he had to face the next day.
"Are you sure that everything will go smoothly? We are outnumbered!"
"As I said, there's no need to hesitate. I have a surprise for them," replied Elena with a solemn look.
Yunyun saw that the team's mood became doubtful because, of course, their numbers were outnumbered by the enemy troops.
"If you still have doubts about Elena's plans, you can call for SOS assistance from your WristNect. Elena and I will complete this mission alone," Yunyun said as she rested her head on Elena's shoulder.
They all became pensive. Even Audrey became indecisive about it. However, the prize offered was not an amount that could be missed.
Rocky took a deep breath after weighing the enormous risk of the mission and the hefty reward.
"Okay, I'm going," said Rocky.
Then James, "Count me in."
It was continued by Siphone with a big smile full of enthusiasm, "Do you even need to ask? I'm in!"
Rake just nodded in agreement. He rarely spoke, but his skills in battle were well known in the world.
Then Audrey stepped forward, holding her wand tightly and nodded her head, "I'm in your care."
Elena and Yunyun smiled with satisfaction, proud of their courage.
"Good, that's more like it! Now, we just need to rest. And storm their base at dawn."
They all nodded in unison and went into their respective tents.
Dawn began to break from the eastern horizon. The fog began to dissipate, and the sounds of forest animals that communicated with one another were heard. Elena was ready for the opening of the battle as well as all the personnel who had been waiting for her command.
"Everything and everyone ready?" asked Elena as she checked at the readiness of their equipment.
The group lined up neatly in front of Elena swiftly.
"Good, I will explain our strategy. It's quite simple. We just need to rush in and finish off the Abyssal Creatures on the surface. Then Yunyun and I will enter the ship's core and blow them all up within ten minutes. Hold all the enemies at the entrance.
"Then, if you're not out in ten minutes?" asked Rocky.
"Leave the two of us as soon as possible and call for help. Don't be a hero and just run," said Elena when she swept her holo screen.
"Understood,"
Rocky didn't really agree with this genocidal plan which was usually under 10% success rate. However, he needed to remember that Elena was the legendary S Rank who wouldn't raise her status to protect the earth. He was sure Elena had something up her sleeve.
James immediately ran towards the plane that was parked on the beach and aired over the enemy base.
Meanwhile, the others put themselves in their respective positions.
After he found the target, James immediately launched dozens of missiles with high explosion power and onslaught them without mercy.
Woosh! Boom boom boom!!!
All vital targets were successfully paralyzed and created panic on the enemy side. Explosion after explosion sounded very loud, black smoke billowed high, birds flew, and enemy troops ran here and there, hundreds of soldiers on the surface lost their fighting ability.
"All targets have been taken out, enemy drones have been disabled, the armory has been destroyed," James reported from inside the plane.
"Good! Keep giving us airborne reports! Rocky, I need you to hit the enemy defenses in the south!"
Rocky nodded and immediately activated his ability. He then jumped very high and plunged into the middle of the enemy's defense.
With the fire energy at his disposal, he hit the ground with his feet. The ground he crashed on immediately became a meteor crater tens of meters wide. He effectively hurled down and burned all the monsters that attacked him into the air.
The attack simultaneously destroyed the south gate, Elena and Yunyun immediately entered the enemy base. What came afterwards was Rake, with his ability to control the ground to take over. He was able to repel enemies who tried to flanked Elena and Yunyun from the side.
Meanwhile, Siphone and Audrey helped from a distance as they shot energy balls into the enemy's backline.
Elena and Yunyun fought the captains of the enemy troops, C-rank monsters. They were large and tall, with prominent muscles all over their bodies. Their scales were very hard like armor and their nails could tear metal plates easily.
Yunyun, who mastered the Qingong martial arts, an ancient Chinese martial art for lightening the body, moved very swiftly and attacked her enemy's vital points. In a short time, Yunyun could go around knocking out her enemies with her sword. Dozens of holes pierced through the monster's body with the wind energy she fused with her technique.
Elena, on the other hand, took out her blood sword. With the ability to manipulate blood, she made the sword in her hand to be as hard as pure adamantium metal. She formed a beautiful 2 metres long katana.
With just a few swings of her hand, 2 enemy army captains' heads lay on the ground. Her movements were so fast that even the enemy didn't even notice that they had been beheaded.
"Yunyun! I'll distract them and lead them east! Prepare the artillery!" Elena screamed as she ran and slashed at the enemy in front of her.
Elena, who had killed two enemy captains, certainly made the enemy's attention fixated on her.
Elena's plan was going very smoothly. Siphone prepared a long-barreled rifle as Audrey prepared dozens of automatic plasma mortars The mortars shot out plasma energy in turn and bombarded the troops that Elena had provoked.
"YES!!! Big catch!!" shrieked Siphone, who was very pleased with the result.
With a .50Cal adamantium calibre rifle coupled with the fire energy she put into her cartridges, Siphone could kill 5 monsters with one shot.
Most of the troops that Elena had fished out were crushed! The remaining troops were frantic to see their comrades had turned into corpses. But Elena had no intention of letting a single monster escape her sight.
She turned towards the enemy troops and took the stance of "Iai", then focused her strength on her legs and arms. As fast as lightning, she shot past the enemy and slash after slash came to the enemy one by one, taking their life as an angel of death.
"Crimson Wind, my farewell gift." After Elena said that, blood immediately splattered from the enemy's body simultaneously, and their bodies were cut into pieces.
Rake's face immediately turned pale when he saw what happened, he didn't even have time to blink! Hundreds of enemies in front of him had been killed with just one move.
"Terrifying! Is this the power of Rank S?!" said Rake with his eyes and mouth still wide open.
"Jesus Christ! We are lucky that Elena is on our side," said Audrey with great admiration.
Things were getting under control on the battlefield. They managed to finish off most of the low-level soldiers and finish off several enemy captains.
However, it was not all over. One enemy commander with a terrifying face as well as a large energy fluctuation released a surge of energy and shocked the team members.
"It's finally out… I'm tired of these endless sea cockroaches," said Elena. She casually swayed and swung her sword left and right.
"HUMAN! You insolent monkey! How dare you interfere with the revival of our race!" shouted the enemy commander with facial characteristics like a shark, his gills deflated around his neck. He was tall and stocky with a trident spear.
"A peak Rank B monster, huh?" said Elena with a grin.
Without replying to a single word, Elena immediately charged forward at full speed! In less than a second, the sword of dense blood had already arrived at the enemy Commander's neck.
But Elena's attack could still be blocked with his spear. A very fast body reflex that was able to keep pace with Elena. The clash of the two weapons with great energy caused a very strong shockwave, sending dust and fragments of the severed limbs away.
High-class fight!
Slash!!
One slash of the spear managed to graze Elena's cheek. She then realized that she had wasted time.
"Release!" said Elena with a horrifying look.
Elena unleashed her ability. Dimensional Anomaly trapped the enemy commander. Time seemed to stop and with an incredible speed, she butchered him hundreds of times.
After that, Elena snapped her fingers, and the enemy commander's body disintegrated.
"Yunyun, hurry up a bit. The grand prize is in there!" Elena exclaimed as she rubbed her wounded cheek, and the wound closed completely.
