Meanwhile, the Chilong Squad was trapped by the subsequent horde of monsters.
These two giant six-star magical beasts leading the way were the vanguard of the magical beasts. Following them was the advance force of the magical beasts. The Chilong Squad was a step too late, and all of them were trapped in front of the vortex, their fate unknown.
"Amplification! Enhancement! Weakening Aura!"
Bu Xiaosai used different auxiliary effects on Liu Shenjun and the giant beast in front of him respectively.
Liu Shenjun, on the other hand, immediately prepared his third sword strike – Heaven Opening!
This is his most powerful single-target attack to date. If it doesn't work, then he should just wait for reinforcements.
"One sword! Opens the heavens!"
Just as the giant monster in front of him deflected a large magical attack, he turned his head and saw an unparalleled, sword-light attack hurtling towards him!
"A 40-meter increase!"
Liu Shenjun finally remembered the style of his forty-meter greatsword when he awakened his superpower. His attacks in the air were also amplified accordingly. Before the vanguard monster could react, the entire beast was pierced through by the sword light!
It was a success!
Liu Lang and Dai Shanren watched the sword strike with surprise, while Liu Shenjun had used up a third of his strength and almost lost his balance after swinging the sword.
"roar!!!"
But to everyone's surprise, although the sword pierced through the six-star behemoth, it failed to kill it! Instead, it thoroughly enraged the beast.
Ignoring the other humans holding them back, the giant beast launched a direct attack on Liu Shenjun and his companions!
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and moisturize!"
Bu Xiaosai let out a strange cry and ran away, while Liu Lang and Dai Shanren reacted and pulled Liu Shenjun, who was still panting heavily, back.
Although they didn't know why their sword strikes pierced through their opponent while the opponent was still able to move freely, the four of them managed to keep the pathfinder monster at bay, reducing the pressure on their classmates by half.
Not long after, the sound of machinery roared in the sky, accompanied by the smell of burning coals in the air. The mech squadron that came to evacuate the people arrived at the scene!
"Holy crap? What kind of monster is that?! How come it's five or six times bigger than a mecha?"
"Warcraft! It's warcraft! How did they get inland?!"
"Go quickly to provide assistance, alert nearby students, and report the situation to the teachers!"
The mech squadron has successfully arrived here!
However, this mecha squad was also composed of second- and third-year students from the School of Science and Technology. Among them was Senior Ji Xinghuo, a third-year student at the peak of the fourth star level. He directly activated his SS-level superpowered mechanical factory and, together with other students from the mecha squad, created troops on the spot to perform a mechanical deus ex machina to block the advance of those magical beasts.
"A squad from the Southern Military District is caught in the center of the vortex, and their fate is currently unknown."
"We understand. The first battalion of the mech regiment will try to break through, and our automated mechanical units will follow shortly."
Ji Xinghuo nodded and immediately issued the order to make the breakthrough.
At that very moment, another S-class anomaly erupted in the sky. In everyone's eyes, the entire world was covered in heavenly fire, which fell like a torrent, destroying and burning everything in its path!
"No! The timing of this anomaly is terrible. We can't continue to risk a head-on confrontation with the monsters."
Another senior, a fourth-star peak student in his third year, frowned as he looked at the increasingly hot environment.
After a day of rescue efforts, all the people who could be saved in the area surrounding the University of Polar Night were taken to the underground shelters set up by the Institute of Technology. Otherwise, without the protection of buildings, this wave of falling flames would have melted all the exposed civilians.
"All members of the mech squad, go and block the giant monster in front of us. People in the camp, activate the protective shield. We must first avoid this abnormal outbreak of the Descendant Flame."
"Senior, we still have classmates outside! They've attracted the attention of another giant monster. What will happen to them if we activate the protective shield?"
Ji Xinghuo's pupils contracted as he looked up at the falling flames getting closer and closer in the sky, his face filled with anxiety.
An alternative trolley problem: should we wait for the classmates who sacrificed themselves to protect everyone to return, or abandon them to save ourselves?
"We can't delay any longer, let's continue the operation, I'll protect them."
"Hey? Senior Mechanical Engineer!"
They couldn't stop Ji Xinghuo, who piloted his mech away and followed the destructive path of the other giant beast.
Meanwhile, Bu Xiaosai and his three companions...
