Chapter 116 Unscientific Weapon, Enma
Bang bang bang — thump thump thump.
The defensive machine guns and artillery emplacements around the campus opened fire simultaneously.
The barrage of bullets was so dense in the air that it formed a visible metal curtain.
The bullets first struck the vampire horde, piercing their bodies and tearing their skin and bones to shreds.
The vampire, struck in the torso by a large-caliber bullet, exploded into a bloody mist.
Arms, wings, and heads rolled out of the blood mist.
But after the blood mist lingered in the air for a moment, it visibly began to reassemble.
Cells recombine without any external intervention, bones are reassembled, skin is re-covered, and wings are re-spread.
The scattered vampires reformed into human form in a very short time, flapping their wet wings and continuing to charge forward.
Werewolves have a completely different defense strategy.
When large-caliber bullets hit them, they first pass through the newly grown rough fur, and then get stuck directly in the muscle layer.
The bullets are embedded in the muscle fibers, and they don't even twitch.
Only bullets that strike the bone head-on, or bullets that penetrate the joint space, can cause them to stumble.
The only truly effective weapon was the gun emplacement.
The high-explosive grenade struck the werewolf's chest, the impact propelling him several meters backward before the shrapnel from the explosion tore through his muscles, shattered his bones, and shredded his internal organs.
The shattered remains of the werewolf lay scattered on the ground.
But if a companion is nearby, that companion will pounce on it, open its mouth full of sharp teeth, and swallow the remains whole in two bites.
After swallowing it, its body visibly swelled up, its fur became thicker, and the bullet wound healed instantly.
Thousands of figures charged simultaneously from the sky and the ground.
The vampire's wings obscured the moon, and the werewolf's footsteps on the ground made the ground tremble slightly.
Tony stood at the window, his visor already closed.
He glanced outside, and the energy beam in his palm fired first.
Two blazing white beams of light pierced the night sky, burning the leading flying vampires to ashes. This time, they were unable to reform.
Then he turned around and shouted to Li En, "To be honest, I didn't expect so many to come on the first night. The defense system won't last long."
With a flick of his wrists, Li En pulled out Ebony and Ivory, and also took out Requiem. He stacked the three guns together and handed them to Connors beside him.
His voice was quick: "There's Damon, Mindy, Frank Jr., and other students who haven't gone home yet."
"You work with Damon to protect the children."
"Take everyone into the temporary dorms behind the cafeteria, lock the doors and windows and don't let them come out. Leave this to me and Stark."
Connors took the three guns, asked no questions, and turned to run towards the cafeteria.
His footsteps formed a rapid line in the corridor, disappearing after turning the corner.
Li En walked to the control panel and held the Demon King reagent that had been left outside in his hand.
The deep red and purple liquid churned slowly in the test tube, and with each shake, a string of tiny bubbles rose from the depths of the liquid.
He turned to Tony and said, "I'll go outside and try to see if that's what they're after."
"If it's a battlefield, then leave it in an open space. I always feel like these are just scouting ground."
"Jarvis, keep an eye on the perimeter and see if there's anything hiding behind them directing operations."
"Yes, Mr. Lee." Jarvis's voice came from the ceiling.
Li En walked towards the door. As he passed Banner, Banner rubbed his fingers together awkwardly, his voice tinged with embarrassment: "I haven't transformed into the Hulk even once recently. I've been living too comfortably. I don't know if I'll be able to get out."
He had a particularly fulfilling time at Umbrella School.
Every day, I teach the children, and after class, I go to the laboratory to study various supernatural biological samples.
With colleagues like Connors around who can exchange drafts of papers at any time, even Tony Stark has now come to hang out in the lab with them.
Not angry at all, not feeling angry at all.
Before Li En could reply, Tony spoke for him: "Don't worry, Mr. Banner, leave this to me."
He vaulted out of the window, ignited his thrusters, and streaked across the night sky, leaving a trail of platinum flames behind him.
The shoulder armor plates flipped open, and miniature missiles, trailing white smoke, swept towards the swarm of flying vampires in the sky.
Li En didn't waste any more words.
He walked to the end of the corridor, pushed open the back door, and entered the still undeveloped wasteland of the school.
The moonlight stretched his shadow long and thin.
His right hand gripped a long, sheathed sword called Yama-no-Tsurugi.
The scabbard gleamed with a cold, eerie blue light under the moonlight.
He walked to the center of the open space and stood still, raising the Demon King's reagent in his hand a little higher.
The liquid inside the test tube became more active under the moonlight, with red and purple streaks of light continuously rising along the inner wall of the tube.
The vampires and werewolves that were rushing toward the laboratory building suddenly stopped.
They turned their heads at the same time.
The vampires in the sky folded their wings and hovered in mid-air, while the werewolves on the ground slowly turned around, all their eyes fixed on the reagent in Li En's right hand.
Then they abandoned the experimental building, the defensive turrets, and all their original attack routes, and surged towards Li En from all directions.
Under the moonlight, thousands of figures converged into a dark, surging tide.
Li En's lips curled up slightly.
really.
He gently pushed the blade of the Yamato away with his right thumb, producing an extremely faint metallic scraping sound.
Hold the scabbard with your left hand and the hilt with your right hand to draw the sword.
The moment the blade slid out of its sheath, countless blade lights simultaneously appeared in the space around him.
These blades of light did not fly out to attack directly, but hovered in mid-air, like lightning frozen in amber.
Each blade of light had extremely fine black cracks along its edge.
This is the remnant of space itself after it was cut open by a blade, before it had a chance to close.
The werewolves and vampires at the forefront have already run into the net of blades.
There were no screams.
The part of the body that collided with it disappeared instantly, and was completely removed from this space after being swept into the spatial rift.
The crack widened briefly, swallowing the piece of flesh whole, before closing.
The monsters in the first few rows had half their bodies shaved off when they were still several meters away from Li En.
The debris fell onto the muddy ground at his feet, and the monsters surging up behind him continued to charge over it, stepping directly on the debris.
In the sky, Tony Stark hovered between the barrage of defensive turrets and the swarm of flying vampires.
Looking at the scene unfolding on the open ground below, he blurted out, "Wattfa, what kind of attack is that? How could it even crack space itself?"
The blade-like auras hanging in mid-air and the spatial cracks at their edges appeared as a dense mass of red anomalies on his sensor screen.
The spatial coordinates themselves were temporarily missing at those locations, and the data was completely lost.
That's completely unscientific.
Li En's voice came from the center of the open space, his tone flat: "This sword is called Yama. It can cut through space. Using it on these things is a bit of a waste."
A giant werewolf with deep silver fur somehow bypassed the front of the net of blades and pounced from Li En's blind spot from the side and rear.
Its size was several times that of an ordinary werewolf, and its claws, which extended from its front paws, were longer than daggers and had already reached less than an arm's length from the back of Li En's neck.
Without even turning his head, Li Enlian gently twirled the knife in the air with his left hand, and a circular spatial rift spread out from his side.
It swallowed the upper and lower halves of the silver werewolf at the same time.
The moment the crack closed, only the two front paws and the pair of hind legs fell to the ground from mid-air, while the entire middle section of the torso disappeared.
"Under the tearing force of space, the regenerative abilities of vampires and werewolves are meaningless."
Li En sheathed the Yamato sword again and switched to holding it with his left hand.
Step forward half a step with your right foot, lower your center of gravity, and turn your body slightly to the side.
His left hand held the scabbard close to his waist, while his right hand, with its five fingers spread, hovered loosely above the hilt, not gripping it firmly.
He remained in that pose, like a frozen statue, with only the hem of his coat swaying gently in the night breeze.
"Jarvis, let them in and take down the defensive turrets."
"Yes, sir."
All the machine guns and artillery emplacements around the campus ceased firing at the same instant.
The gun barrel and firing tube retracted neatly into the ground, and the ground closed up again, leaving no gaps in sight.
There was nothing left between the monster and Li En around the open space.
Without hesitation, the remaining hundreds of vampires and werewolves surged toward him from all directions.
The distance was rapidly shrinking, and the vampire at the front had already opened its mouth, its canines less than a meter from Li En's neck.
Li En gripped the hilt of the knife tightly with his right hand and drew it.
Several ring-shaped blade beams radiated outwards from him, each beam carrying extremely fine spatial cracks.
The crack expanded simultaneously in all directions along a perfect circular trajectory, engulfing all the monsters around him.
Sheath the sword.
The hilt struck the scabbard with a sharp crack, the sound jarring in the silent night.
Tony hovered in mid-air, capturing the entire scene on his helmet display.
The data recorded by his sensors left him stunned for several seconds.
The way those spatial rifts spread was completely abnormal.
They flew out in an arc like blades, rather than tearing a long vertical crack in the air.
This phenomenon cannot be explained by any known physical model.
However, the spatial cutting effect of the crack itself is undeniable.
The combined forces of hundreds of werewolves and vampires that had just filled the open space were now completely wiped out.
Only scattered remains of limbs lay on the barren, muddy ground, with clean cuts.
There were no radial marks of blood splattering, as if the blood had been swept away by the spatial rift the moment the body was severed.
The night wind blew across the wasteland, leaving only Li En's proud and upright figure standing in the center of the field.
