death of hope

Chapter 1083 "Psionic Storm" (156) Unwavering Devotion

Amidst the billowing dust, the wreckage of two combat mechs resembled burning warning signs.

The armored vehicle that charged in sync with the mechs was overturned, and the sniper hidden on the high platform was killed by blood clots created by dark spiritual power. The corporate warriors dared not make any more rash moves.

"Tsk tsk, the mechs that Terran humans are so proud of, is that all?"

Jarrasso kicked the wreckage of the mech, smirking with his thin cheeks as if he himself had just killed the mech with a single blow.

"Shameless scoundrel! Disgrace to the Eldar!" Drizzt cursed.

"Keep cursing, keep cursing, you impotent rage~" Jarrasso stuck out his tongue and mocked the other party:
"Your Ark Elven race have always considered yourselves orthodox and noble, overflowing with a sense of superiority, discriminating against and hunting down us Dark Elves as heretics. But, well, that's all in the past now~"
Thanks to my efforts, the tables have turned!
"The Drow God has obtained a handy humanoid weapon. You Ark Eldar, wash your necks and wait for your extermination, hehe~"

"Both mechs were destroyed...instantly killed..." The corporate warrior's radio was filled with terror and hesitation:
"I'm saying... Boss... that psionicist is more terrifying than an entire fleet... perhaps we should... retreat..."

"Damn it! How dare you undermine morale! The patriarch has given a death order!" Higashiyama Ruriko roared.

"Let's see who dares to run away! I'll chop him down with my own hands!"

"Sorry... Boss... we didn't mean to run away... we were just offering a suggestion..."

"Listen up, you who're still breathing! Drive your vehicles and follow the target to observe. Once the last wave of reinforcements arrives, we'll go all out. If I'm killed, someone else will take command. Even if it's just to fight to the last man, we must recover the company's assets. We absolutely cannot let the patriarch down, understand?!"

"clear…"

At this moment, in the center of the ruins,
Leon and Twisted Fate exchanged a glance, then almost simultaneously raised their guns and fired. All the bullets were blocked by the psionic shields. Jarrasor's mockery grew even louder:
"Even cannons can't do anything to me, so don't bother showing off your little pistols!"

"Yuna-neechan! Don't protect those pointy ears! He's a bad guy! He's using you!" Toshio cried out.

The floating psionicist had vacant eyes. She seemed completely oblivious to the boy's desperate cries, focusing solely on manipulating the psionic shield to protect her "master."

"Who are you calling a bad guy, kid?"

Jarraso Claw's vicious gaze swept over Junxiong, and the madwoman Anna immediately shielded the boy behind her, trying to protect him with her body, repeating in a daze, "Roy! Roy!" The other psionicists, knowing they were doomed, also gathered around the boy, a scene that deeply moved Leon and Trist.

"Hmph, foolish monkeys, your so-called loyalty and love can't save anyone at all~" Jarrasso tapped his chin with his finger and began to ponder:

"Just killing them instantly is too boring. How can I torture these monkeys and make them wish they were dead?"

·
Meanwhile, on the other side of the research institute ruins, Joseph's mutated monster gradually healed from its wounds, growing to a size larger than the two mechs stacked together. It frantically sprouted countless claws and tentacles, and its gaping maw let out a deafening roar:

"Ouch!"

The dark spirit turned its head towards the direction from which the sound came. Beyond the smoke and fire, a huge, grotesque shadow was approaching:

"I almost forgot, there's still one problem we haven't solved!"

Jarrasor raised the statue of the evil god, about to command Yuna to attack, when he heard a whisper in his ear transmitted through dark psychic energy:

Wow~ That's so kind of you!
Her Majesty the Queen personally led the expedition, dispatching her flagship and royal retinue, to receive the offerings from the Drow god, and I, the great hero, will surely be promoted to a high-ranking official upon our return~ Hehe~”

Upon receiving the message, the Dark Spirit, like a boy who had received a Christmas present, jumped for joy, pointed the evil god statue at Yuna, and commanded:
"Let's go, sacrifice. The landing point is in downtown New Sapporo. Her Majesty the Queen wants to demonstrate her power to humanity. Before that, leave some gifts for your 'fan club'~"

With that, Jalaso Claws casually tossed aside his cloak, mounted the anti-gravity motorcycle crafted by the Dark Enchantress pirate artisans, and sped away.

·
"This humble servant...will humbly obey Lord Zhuo'er's teachings..."

Yuna Jinguji clasped her hands together, summoning a vortex in the ruins. She herself, like a floating, immortal corpse, followed her "master" into the distance, with the armored vehicle carrying the corporate warriors close behind. "Yuna! Wait!" Leon Vilnius pounded his chest and frantically searched the ruins for any usable vehicles.

"Yuna-neechan!" Toshio cried, his face streaked with tears. "We have to go save her!"

"But..." the psionicists exchanged bewildered glances. "We can barely protect ourselves..."

The vortex was a portal to another world, where the servants of the god of hatred, Drow, a twisted and bizarre dark race, numbered in the hundreds.

They were entirely black, varied in shape, bloated and slow, with twisted limbs, eyes that were not eyes, mouths that were not mouths, completely unlike creatures of the physical world, their bodies covered with disgusting, toad-like pustules and lumps.
It emitted a disturbing, damp, and sticky screech and swarmed towards the survivors. Several wounded men were caught before they could escape and were brutally devoured and dismembered.

·
"Pick up your weapons and fight! Not for anything else, but to survive!"

The old lady raised her two guns and fired first, the crazy woman Anna picked up a stone and threw it, and even the chubby boy Junxiong picked up a small-caliber submachine gun.

The good news is that the Dark Familiars can be hit by gunpowder kinetic weapons, and they are dull-witted, slow-moving, lacking strategy and the ability to dodge.
The bad news was that these things were extremely resilient, or rather, they had no vitality at all. They only lost their fighting ability when they were completely dismembered. Everyone focused their fire on the one in front and it took hundreds of bullets to take it down.

"Yuna...wait for me...wait for us..."

If it were the old him, he would definitely have abandoned everyone and chased after them alone, but he's different now.

Yuna's gentleness and kindness touched the nobleman of Ix who was obsessed with his past glory, making him realize that the 'love' that was worthless in the eyes of the dark spirits was the most precious treasure of the Terran humans.

Ignoring the side effects and the drug's toxicity to the kidneys and liver, Li Ang swallowed another half bottle of 'Kanglilong Quick-Acting Drug' (a potent stimulant taken from the corpses of corporate warriors).

The dull pain in his nerves and the soreness in his muscles had not subsided, but he was finally able to move. Li Ang picked up an RPG-500 portable rocket launcher from the body of a grenadier and roughly aimed it with the holographic sight.

The rocket launched with a "whoosh!" and shot out, trailing a long, narrow tail of flame. The tandem warhead exploded twice in succession, taking out more than ten enemies at once.

"These things are clumsy; we can escape as long as we break through an opening!"

·
Leon inspired everyone, and those psionicists who were physically weak, disabled, timid, and had never fought before all picked up their weapons and launched a desperate counterattack.

Drizzt picked up a recoilless rifle from a wrecked Humvee, carried it, and fired it. The small-caliber shell's warhead contained only a few hundred grams of TNT, but it was still much more effective than small arms ammunition.

"Damn it! This thing is too tough..." A psionicist, while changing a magazine, didn't pay attention to the distance and was strangled by the monster's whip-like tentacles, suffocating to death.

The mangled limbs of a Dark Familia, blasted apart by a cannonball, were still clumsily crawling. Suddenly, it grabbed the psionicist's ankle, pulling him down. The other limbs seized the opportunity to swarm him, tearing him to pieces.

"No! It can still move even if it's broken... This will never end..."

Drizzt, panting heavily, swung the scimitar left behind by the dead pirate, severing the scythe-shaped limbs of a Dark Familia.
The limb landed right on the head of the crazy woman Anna, but luckily Junxiong reacted quickly and swung his rifle like a baseball bat to knock her away.

At this moment, Joseph's mutated, gigantic monster roared and charged forward, as if it wanted to 'join hands' with the Dark Families.

"Look! A gap has been created!" the old woman shouted. "Get out of there!"

"I promised Yuna... I wouldn't abandon anyone..."

After saying that, Li Ang swallowed the remaining half bottle of stimulant capsules in one gulp, forcibly trying to restore his exhausted body to its former glory.

Come this way!

Drizzt, holding his daughter Evelyn, called out to him from a short distance away:

"These two BTR armored vehicles can still be driven!"
