Chapter 864 A Fatal Blow
The thing that Duanmu Huai was most thankful for was that they were still deep underground.
If the other party did this on the ground... then they could only use the light spear to destroy the entire country directly.
This was also the reason why Duanmu Huai brought a warship here. Even if he didn't issue an extermination order, he had to consider the possibility of cleaning and disinfecting the floor for safety reasons...
But the situation is not much better now.
"Hah—————!"
Duanmu Huai had already retracted his warhammer and took out the chainsaw sword behind him. The black flames expanded and exploded around him, burning constantly and devouring all objects that came into contact with him. The spores ejected from the Son of the Black Goat were quickly entangled and destroyed by the flames. But the Son of the Black Goat obviously did not intend to give up. Survival and reproduction are the greatest desires of all creatures, so in turn, resisting death and destruction is naturally their first rank.
Therefore, when Duanmu Huai unfolded the domain of the God of Destruction, the Son of the Black Goat immediately regarded it as the top priority target to be eliminated. At this moment, dozens of tentacles flew out of the body of the Son of the Black Goat, rushing towards Duanmu Huai like snakes.
Duanmu Huai would not sit still and wait for death. Facing the tentacles attacking him, he clenched the chainsaw sword and swung it down with force. The rotating and roaring chainsaw, burning with black fire, easily tore apart the tentacles rushing towards Duanmu Huai and burned them to ashes.
The tentacles cut off by Duanmu Huai would be quickly retracted, but they would regenerate again not long after and continue to rush forward.
"Mary, have you found it?"
"Not yet, Mr. Duanmu, not in this area!"
"What a trouble, continue!"
Hearing Mary's answer, Duanmu Huai frowned and rushed forward again. Even if those tentacles hit Duanmu Huai's power armor heavily, they could not stop his steps. On the contrary, Duanmu Huai swung the chainsaw sword again, and in a moment, he once again cut off the tentacles that hindered his movement.
Mary's golden eyes are really powerful, but they are not completely without shortcomings.
That is--as a human, Mary's field of vision is limited.
Just as human vision can only see scenery within a 180-degree range, so is Mary. Her golden eyes can see through everything, but other than that, Mary's eyes do not have the ability of perspective or farsightedness, and her field of vision is no different from that of ordinary people.
It's like if a person stands in front of a skyscraper, her field of vision can only see the section of the skyscraper in front of her, and she can't completely capture the whole thing.
Now for Mary, the Son of the Black Goat in front of her is like this. Even if she can look directly at the Son of the Black Goat, she can only see the body of the Son of the Black Goat in front of her, but can't see its whole picture.
If it were on the ground, then Mary could pull away and stand farther away to see, but there is no such space underground. So they can only move forward. Only by getting close to the huge body in front of them can Mary capture and determine the core of this huge Son of the Black Goat through the "up and down" vision.
Fortunately, she can still see the flow of power in this disgusting and filthy body.
"Where exactly?"
"Above!"
"Above?"
It must be said that Duanmu Huai was also surprised to hear Mary's answer.
"Are you sure it's on top?"
"Yes, the flow of power is upwards rather than downwards, so I believe the core should be on top!"
"This is really strange..."
Generally speaking, most of the huge BOSS will put their core deep underground, and I have never seen a core placed on the head - what does this mean?
"Boom boom boom!"
At the same time, the ground began to tremble, and a lot of dust and gravel fell down. Feeling the vibration, Duanmu Huai's face also sank.
"Not good! This guy is going to go out to bask in the sun!"
If possible, Duanmu Huai still hopes to solve it underground as much as possible. After all, once this guy runs to the surface to release the spore cloud, the scope of the damage will expand to the entire city and even the entire country. At that time, things will be difficult to deal with.
No way, only this!
Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai also made up his mind.
At the same time, in other places, the team of the Countermeasures Bureau also began to retreat rapidly.
"What the hell is going on? Is that a new trick of the ghouls?"
Leading the remaining troops to retreat underground, Investigator Yamen couldn't help but curse in a low voice. At the beginning, the operation was very smooth. Although they lost a lot of manpower, they also successfully advanced to the depths of Area 24.
But at that time, the situation changed.
The earth began to tremble. At first, they thought it was just an earthquake, but soon, the ground cracked, and strange tentacles like tree roots emerged from it, spraying strange spores into the air. This scene naturally aroused the vigilance of the investigators, but before they could come up with a countermeasure, something even more unimaginable happened to them—the ghouls shrouded in the spore cloud suddenly began to scream, and then their flesh and blood began to twist and deform, and tumors like flower buds appeared on their bodies. Then, in a moment, those ghouls turned into disgusting and terrifying monsters.
The ghouls that have turned into monsters are more difficult to deal with than before. Not only that, their bodies are also covered with those weird spores. Once they get close, even investigators and ordinary soldiers will be infected and turn into that kind of monster. Monsters that are unimaginable to ordinary people.
In this case, continuing to move forward was just a fantasy, so the Yamen Investigator had to lead his remaining men to evacuate quickly. At the same time, in order to prevent this poisonous gas-like thing from leaking out, he also blew up the passage to seal it. , Of course, it’s unknown how useful it will be, but at least... it should be able to hinder it for a while.
"How is it going?"
After exiting the tunnel, Investigator Yamen looked around and saw similar situations everywhere. Many soldiers were seriously injured, and some investigators were as embarrassed as him.
But there was no very eye-catching figure among them.
"Where is Mr. Duanmu? How is the situation at the Tribunal?"
Thinking of this, Investigator Yamen hurriedly grabbed a Countermeasures Bureau employee who came next to him and asked, and the other person also hurriedly answered loudly.
"We have lost contact with Mr. Duanmu! Currently, two-thirds of the members of the Countermeasures Bureau are still in District 24 and cannot be contacted!"
"Damn...!"
After hearing the report, Investigator Yamen gritted his teeth. He remembered that Duanmu Huai had been drinking today. Generally speaking, he should not participate in the operation under such circumstances. But he didn't stop him at that time, and Miss Mary was by his side at that time. In Yamen's view, although Miss Mary was not old, she was a very calm and smart girl. If anything happened, she should be able to ………Um?
Completely out of instinct, Yamen suddenly felt a little flustered, and then he subconsciously raised his head and glanced upward.
It was this glance that saved his life.
The ceiling collapsed in an instant. At this moment, the Yamen investigator almost instinctively ducked backwards in embarrassment. The next moment, a torrent of light fell from the sky, broke through the thick crust, and penetrated directly into the depths of the ground.
The light spears launched outside the atmosphere turned into waterfalls of light falling from the sky, flowing down and completely swallowing up all the land within the entire 24th area. The abandoned building above exploded instantly under the bombardment of high-temperature energy beams, and then the solid ground collapsed completely before it could hold on for long.
The same goes for everyone in the countermeasures bureau below. Except for Yamen and a few other people who were further away, the others didn't even have time to scream before their figures were swallowed up by the dazzling torrent of energy.
There is only one exception.
"Mary, look carefully!"
Duanmuhuai hugged Mary tightly, and the dark steel power armor was like a shield at the moment, blocking the surging light spear bombardment. This was the only way Duanmu Huai could think of - entangled with the opponent here was not his style at all, so Duanmu Huai made a prompt decision and ordered the battleship to launch a light spear attack on Area 24.
In Duanmuhuai's view, this is the only way to limit the scope of the victim to a minimum. The light spear will destroy the entire area 24, and in the process, the body of the Son of the Black Goat will also be destroyed by the bombardment of the light spear. As long as Mary locks the core with the golden pupil during this period, he can Take action immediately after the light spear bombardment is over to eliminate it.
Of course, for ordinary people, even if they are not directly hit, there is only one way to die in this high-intensity energy beam. However, Duanmu Huai is the God of Destruction after all, and it is not a big problem for him that his body can only resist naval guns. And Mary was also given a protective spell by Duanmu Huai in advance - after all, she didn't have Duanmu Huai's ability.
Just treat it like a hot bath.
The surrounding ground collapsed, and the shining light enveloped the entire field of vision. Even Duanmuhuai, who was wearing a helmet, could not completely see what was hidden in the dazzling beam of light.
However, golden eyes are golden eyes.
"Found it, Mr. Duanmu! It's the one!"
The torrent of light spears disappeared, and Mary, ignoring the hot gas that was almost enough to burn everything, stretched out her hand and pointed forward. Duanmu Huai looked up and saw that not far in front of him, in the steamy and hot cavity, a thing that was completely black and looked like a huge burnt vine was falling downwards. On the top of the vine, there was what looked like a huge bud. It was the bud that Mary was pointing at.
"Hold on to me!"
Duanmu Huai jumped up, raised the chain sword in his hand high, and the jetpack behind him sprayed out fierce airflow, even the surrounding flames and stones melted into magma were blown away. Then he took Mary and fell from the sky like a meteorite, rushing towards the Son of the Black Goat in front of him.
“——————!!!”
The Son of the Black Goat, which fell downwards, seemed to be aware of the danger coming. Soon its burnt skin cracked again, and several tentacles stretched out from it, hitting Duanmu Huai.
But this time, before Duanmu Huai could make a move, Mary raised the staff in her hand, and the shining meteor magic burst out from it, directly hitting the tentacles that rushed towards them. With continuous explosions, the tentacles that emerged from the Son of the Black Goat were blown away, and even the flower bud was blown open. Soon, the two saw that in the depths of the "flower bud", a man whose body had almost dissolved and merged with the Son of the Black Goat appeared from it. He was wearing a mask, and his body was covered with tentacles that kept wriggling.
At this moment, the masked man raised his head, stared at Duanmu Huai, and opened his mouth to say something.
But at this moment, the chainsaw sword in Duanmu Huai's hand had penetrated the masked man's head and cut deeply into the body of the Son of the Black Goat.
"Buzz-----!!!"
The chainsaw began to spin wildly, and the surging black flames roared out from it, directly penetrating into the body of the Son of the Black Goat. Soon, the body of the Black Goat Son began to expand. Raging flames that were powerful enough to destroy everything emerged from the gaps, greedily devouring everything they touched.
"Boom!!!!"
The explosion sounded, and the pitch-black flames surged out at this moment, covering the entire hole.
