BXBX NOVEL Chapter 488: Fighting Against Desert Monsters
Each person inside the Desert Palace Ruin had a tracker on them. Therefore, even if someone gets lost and forfeit the tournament, they can be evacuated.
The camera relayed the video as it projected on a large holographic screen on the middle of the stadium. Other than that, each person had a personal screen before them.
They can enjoy both the main holographic screen to see the most popular mercenary unit or they can watch their own prefered unit.
It\'s like a giant game, with almost every movement of a practicipant is displayed before the viewer.
After the teams entered the spatial gate, they arrived inside the spatial realm.
Their goal was to finish the tasks and return before the day ended.
Not to mention, with the technology of the Sajhad Nation, they can change the coordinates of the spatial realm. So, each team would enter separately, ensuring minimal clash between the group at the beginning. After all, one need to rile up the audience for more excitement and betting.
The betting counters were already opened as people betted on their their favorite mercenary units.
" Look! What are those?"
" Desert Hyenas! Those are Desert Hyenas!"
People exclaimed as they pointed at the holographic screen.
It was a B rank guild called Iron Sword Team. Their luck was pretty bad as their team of ten surrounded by the monsters.
The entire tournament focused on squeezing out all the potential of a person. Therefor, modern weapons were vastly limited. Only handguns and small assault rifles with limited ammo were allowed.
Other than that, all sorts of cold weapons were allowed inside.
" Damn it! It\'s a pack of ten hyenas!" The leader of Iron Sword Team shouted.
" Get into the formation! Defenders, move forward!"
" Gunners, shoot from behind! Aim at their head!"
*GRRR! GRRRR!*
The hyenas growled as they looked at the team with bloodlust. As they charged forward, the gunners of the Iron Sword Team started to fire at them.
As expected of a B rank guild, the accuracy of the marksmen were pretty good.
But the Desert Hyenas were also cunning. After seeing few of their comrades getting killed, they started to rush towards the team in a zig zag way.
Their bodies bounced around like springs, making it difficult to shoot at them. As they reached near the team, the defenders too charge.
At the front stood two tall men whose arms were covered with a thick armlet.
" Hmph! Die! You mutts!"
*BOOM! BOOM!*
The claws and the teeth of the hyenas were unable to do harm to the defenders. Perhaps they have superhuman strength, but they managed to stop the horde of the hyenas.
" Now, My time to shine!"
The leader of the Iron Sword Team rushed forward as he pulled out a straight european sword from his sheath.
His sword shone with a dim silver as he slashed out his sword. Carving out a straight path, the leader killed more than five hyenas at once.
" Leader! Be careful!"
Before the the leader could react, he felt an imposing figure casting a shadow on him. Turning around, he saw a giant hyena spring on him.
" Damn it! It\'s the pack leader!"
*GRAAFFF!*
The leader hyena looked much smarter and more powerful than the average Desert Hyena. Rather than attacking the upper body of the Iron Sword Team\'s leader, it attacked his legs.
" ARRGH!"
The leader winced in pain as he felt the teeth of the hyena digging into his flesh. Using that chance, all the hyenas charged at them.
" Damn it! Kill those bastards!"
" Protect leader!"
The leader swung his sword and beheaded the pack leader. However, the injuries he received were quite a lot.
" Fuck! Why these hyenas are so aggressive?"
" They are more powerful than the average Desert Hyena!"
" Kill them all! Gather the points!"
The woman behind them threw a grenade, killing the remaining hyenas at once.
" Damn it! What a bad luck. To think we will get ambushed like this." -verified
" Give a fast aid and move forward. We must kill more monsters!."
At the arena outside, the people cheered as they saw the fight of the Iron Sword Team. After that, the holographic screen showed the situation of the various teams.
*BOOM! BOOOM!"
Flames raged as a person burned a monster with his punch. It created a burning hole in the corpse as he killed three monsters within a few seconds.
" Look there! That\'s the Flame Fist Arnold from A rank Sky Guardian Guild!
" I know, He has B rank ability of Fire Fist. Although he can\'t control fire like a mage, his physical power mixed with flames can be devastating."
" Not to mention, There is a B rank supporter in his team, who has the talent of Whispering Wind. He can use his power to bolster the Flame Fist of Arnold!"
" Huh? What was that?"
Suddenly, the screen flickered as it showed a team wearing a perfectly black military suit, with pitch black helmets. The only thing that attracted people\'s eyes was a gorgeous pair of beauties.
One blonde bombshell with an hourglass body, one with black hair and sharp eyes.
" Right here, Everyone, get into the position!"
The ground rumbled as fissures appeared. Both ladies remained at the back as they commanded the team.
Suddenly, gigantic worms crawled out from the ground, charging towards the mercenaries.
" It\'s the Deep Monster Worms! Be careful!"
" Don\'t worry, Commander Ashley! We can handle it!"
Pulling out their swords three soldiers charged forward. Suddenly their bodies became a blur as their swords slashed out.
The audience was shocked when they saw a faint arc of sword light erupting from their blades, slicing the body of the Deep Monster Worms.
" Heavens! What\'s that?!"
" What kind of sword is that? Nanofiber Titanium Alloy?"
" Not to mention their power and techniques, are they all Martial Grandmasters?"
" Which team is that?"
" That\'s the Heaven\'s Calamity! Heaven\'s Calamity mercenary unit!"
" Damn it! I never expected them to be so powerful!"
The fissures on the ground expanded as more and more Deep Monster Worms emerged.
Their power and agility were pretty fast. Not only they can easily dig through the sand and swim like a fish, but their jaws are also very powerful.
Suddenly, the ground rumbled as a deep crater appeared. A giant ten-foot worm surged out, opening its mouth like a star.
" It\'s a gold grade elite monster!"
" Hurry up and kill it!"
" Get into the formation and attack its weak points! Vanguards, Stay at the front!"
" Archees, aim at other worms so they won\'t disturb the raid!"
" If you can\'t catch this, I am going to double the training!"
Hearing Ashley\'s words, the members of Heaven\'s Calamity unit became energized as they pushed forward.
" Azure Swirl Sword Art! Tempest!"
A member jumped out as his sword slashed out. Suddenly, the wind gathered as it created a large gushing wound on the worm\'s body.
The others attacked the worms with their martial arts. Not long after, they slaughtered all the worms along with the gold grade elite leader.
" Wow, I never expected they are so powerful. You trained so many Martial Masters?" Jun Ronghua looked at Jun Tianyun.
" Hehe, nothing much. I just supplied them with medicine and techniques. It\'s their effort they reached this far." Jun Tianyun smiled.
" Then allow me to showcase mine." Jun Ronghua changed the screen.
This time, the focus was on the Dark Phoenix Guild.
