Xyrin Empire-Chapter 173 - : Shameless Style

Chapter 173: Chapter 173: Shameless Style

With a hint of inexplicable pity and a head full of black lines, Sandora and I faced those unlucky Demons being wailed and howled upon by a sky-covering barrage of various projectiles and saluted, then silently prayed.

Rest in peace, warriors, you fell on the glorious path of dedicating yourselves to science…

Sicaro’s voice rang out again, “Continue shooting titanium alloy sabot bullets, third squad, load composite plasma bombs!”

I saw dozens of Xyrin Warriors immediately cease firing, then they struck the cannons in their hands firmly, causing the cover on the back of the cannons to slide down, revealing the super space ammunition chamber inside that twinkled with a faint light. The warriors pressed a few buttons on the control panel above the ammunition chamber, and then the chamber’s cover closed up again. When the sound of gunfire resumed, the blaze sprayed in front of these dozens of cannons had turned into the distinctive blue-white electric glow of plasma bullets.

The entire process took no more than three seconds!

“Cool!” I couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration. The way they utilized super space ammunition mechanisms for loading and changing ammo was simply too cheat-like! Not to mention, just the personal space technology mastered by every Xyrin Apostle alone almost completely eliminates the issue of running low on ammunition!

Not to speak of this sneaky tactic of switching ammunition during combat…

“That’s nothing,” Sandora said proudly, flipping her hair to form a dazzling golden waterfall before me, nearly blinding my krypton gold dog eyes, “There’s even more advanced EX-15 Single Soldier Assault Hand Cannons. The super space ammunition mechanism of those can even instantly switch ammunition without interrupting the firing—absolutely perfect for hitting someone when they least expect it.”

Because the firepower of the weapons had been deliberately weakened, even though the current situation involved two hundred cannons firing at close range at fifty enemies, the opposition still managed to withstand this firepower – powerful enough to almost instantly destroy a tank battalion – relying on their robust bodies. They stood firm against the warriors’ firing and formed a defensive formation, and as a gray-green Energy Shield raised up by the united Demons ascended, the soldiers’ shots immediately lost their effect. A dense array of standard bullets collided violently with the Shield and then fell to the ground, exhausted of kinetic energy. In just a few seconds, the ground was covered with a large number of metal bullets.

This thing is indeed tough as nails, worthy of a shield established by fifty demons working together.

Although they managed to catch a brief breath, at this moment these demons are truly pitiful. The damage inflicted in less than thirty seconds of concentrated heavy firepower is astonishing. Projectiles filled with kinetic destructive power poured onto their flesh and blood bodies, and even though their thick hides could match a tank’s, they couldn’t hold out for long. The thick armor of a dozen demons on the outermost perimeter had been shot into a honeycomb pattern, with filthy green blood oozing from the gaps in the armor, corroding into small holes that emitted wisps of green smoke on the ground—and this was merely the external trauma. The more lethal damage came from the projectiles that had lodged deep into their flesh, carrying attributes like energy radiation, electromagnetic damage, kinetic rotation, and even antimatter annihilation. These various specialized bullets deeply embedded within the unfortunate demons’ bodies caused even greater internal damage, a few particularly targeted demons were already staggering on their feet, and even if we let them leave now, these fellows wouldn’t live much longer.

Jaina had been staring in shock all along; she knew the strength of these variant demons. Based on the last battle, to confront fifty variant demons, she would have to deploy at least five thousand elite infantry to eliminate them, and there would also be substantial casualties. But in the hands of those two hundred warriors wielding strange weapons, these powerful demons had been reduced to mere guinea pigs and toys! They didn’t even have the chance to resist before they lost nearly a third of their combat power in thirty seconds!

Indeed, those “God’s Warriors” held the numerical advantage, handling the enemy with four times the number of people, but correspondingly, they hadn’t even made use of their real strength. Did you not hear what that short Angel Envoy said just now? All of this was merely an experiment!

The demons, having found a chance to breathe, naturally wouldn’t let their enemies attack them unchecked. For these battle-hungry creatures, the current situation was nothing short of the utmost insult! As a result, the demons prepared to counterattack.

The dozen or so heavily armored demons on the outer edges, who had basically lost their combat capabilities, discarded their oversized weapons and charged out from the shadow shield full of cracks and trembling, as if on a suicide mission. The moment they burst through the shield, their bodies erupted with intense green flames, evidently a skill that burned their life force. Its power was, of course, extraordinary. The Xyrin Soldiers immediately aimed their weapons at these dozen or so daredevil demons who had charged out. Hundreds of cannons roared with rage, and a torrent of metal drowned the demons who resembled human torches. However, the life force-incinerating flames significantly weakened the kinetic bullets’ potency, with the majority melting into droplets of metal liquid due to the high temperatures and corrosive evil energy flames before evaporating into the air. Only a few bullets that penetrated the flame defenses hit the demons’ bodies, but it seemed they no longer feared such pain, continuing to charge forth fearlessly.

Although Sicaro often didn’t appear very dependable, he was, after all, a battle-hardened Xyrin Soldier. Faced with the suicidal charge of a dozen demons over three meters tall, he didn’t panic at all and instead commanded calmly, “Frontline warriors, activate Ghost Energy Shields! First Squad, weapons free!”

As Sicaro’s words fell, the black armor on the Xyrin Soldiers closest to the demons transformed. Accompanied by neat “click-click” sounds, faintly glowing blue cracks appeared at the joints of every piece of armor. Then, one by one, translucent blue energy shields materialized out of thin air, encasing the warriors. That wasn’t all—the energy shields could actually stack. As soon as the Ghost Energy Shields formed, they began to tremble slightly, quickly resonating with the adjacent shields. Immediately thereafter, the neighboring shields rapidly merged together, not only increasing the protective area substantially but also significantly enhancing their sturdiness.

Within a mere two seconds, a circular Ghost Energy Shield Wall formed on the inner side of the perimeter.

The dozen demon suicide squadders seemed to ignore this strange shield completely, charging head-on into it, and then simultaneously let out earth-shattering agonized screams.

Even after their skins were torn and flesh burst open by bullets just moments ago, the demons hadn’t let out a single cry of agony, but now, smashing against the Ghost Energy Shield caused this group of burly demons, as tough as steel and nerves, to let out collective shrieks of pain, proving just how intense the damage from the Ghost Energy was to them.

It was precisely the cheating aspect of the Ghost Energy Shield, it wasn’t just an Energy Barrier that could fend off external damage, it was also a dangerous weapon bristling with free-floating energy. Freewheeling outside the barrier was Ghost Energy far more dangerous than high-voltage electricity, recklessly crashing into it without proper protection and it would be a hundred times more excruciating than getting tangled in a barbed, kilovolt high-voltage electric fence…

So it’s said, ignorance is truly fearsome…

What these illiterate demons could be thankful for was that their pain didn’t last long, as the first squad of Xyrin Soldiers had already removed the power limiters on their weapons, unleashing full firepower with their Single Soldier Cannons. In an instant, a dozen already dying demons turned into combustible trash strewn across the ground.

However, these Suicide Squads still played a certain role. Because of their interference, a gap emerged in the formidable firepower net formed by the Xyrin Soldiers.

Believing they found a way out, the demons wouldn’t miss this opportunity. The leading winged demon let out a roar, then led his soldiers in a swarm, charging towards Sandora and me.

Hmm? Towards us? Are these demons brainless? They’ve been beaten to a pulp and still not thinking of running away, but challenging the enemy’s commanders instead?

But on second thought, I guessed the reason behind their actions.

Since Sandora and I had been watching from the side and hadn’t made a move, the demons didn’t know our strength. Under such circumstances, they weren’t fools. They naturally knew that with their speed, it would be very difficult to escape the encirclement of ranged weaponry, and it was impossible to defeat the powerful Black-armored Soldiers, so with the mentality of capturing the leaders first, they thought to try their luck with us—what if the enemy Commanders weren’t that strong? Perhaps they could then find a way out!

It was a gamble, but indeed, the only possible tactic under these circumstances. They couldn’t escape, they couldn’t win, and peace talks were out of the question, so attacking the Leader became the only possible way out.

Sadly, while the idea was nice, reality was cruel. Being Commanders who specialized in positional defensive warfare, how could Sicaro possibly let the enemy leave their position so easily?

“First squad, activate a twenty-fold Gravity Field, switch to Titanium Alloy Sabot Bullets, second squad load Ao Tie Bomb, third squad switch to Blazing Beam mode, firing Diffusion Shooting!”

Before my eyes, dozens of tall and burly demon soldiers charged towards us with unstoppable momentum. But before they got far, it was as if some tremendous weight had descended from the sky and crushed them, the weaker ones awkwardly tumbled to the ground, and even the stronger ones didn’t fare much better. Suddenly hit by the twenty-fold Gravity Field, they couldn’t react fast enough and knelt to the ground. Watching the demons crash onto the red gravel, kicking up a dust cloud, I felt pangs of pain for them.

But despite their sorry state, these demons genuinely weren’t bothered by a mere twenty-fold increase in gravity, and soon enough, they all stood up, red-faced and necks bulging, with their looks of resentment toward us intensified several times over in an instant.

It’s also true, anyone treated like that wouldn’t be able to keep calm, let alone a bunch of madman demons.

Sadly for them, someone clearly had no intention of letting these demons vent their frustrations. Within a few seconds, the Xyrin Soldiers had completed their ammo swap. Adhering to the highest creed of shameless combat—take advantage while your enemy is down—they unleashed an even fiercer barrage onto the unfortunate demons, and what’s more terrifying is that this firepower was clearly “munitions trial products” with intentionally reduced power, and under the soldiers’ precise aiming, all the bullets hit non-lethal areas…

… I even saw a demon, unable to withstand the combined pressure of the machine guns and Gravity Field, collapse to the ground, only for a sleazy Soldier to rush forward, pick the demon up, and then run back to his shooting post…

At this moment, for the first time, the unfortunate demons began to resent their sturdy bodies and tenacious Life Force…
