Chapter 490: Anti Climatic Fight
" How is that possible? I thought we would wait at least half a day before someone gets the main boss?"
A newcomer looked around with confusion. " What\'s the matter with the main boss monster? Is that hard to defeat?"
" It\'s more complex." An old man rubbed his beard as he explained. " The main boss monster is more powerful than any of the elite monsters the mercenary troops are facing."
" But what\'s more, finding a boss monster is also difficult as finding the mystery boxes hidden across the spatial realm."
" Even with the best communication and rada system. It takes a lot of time to find the lair of the main boss monster. Yet the Heaven\'s Calamity group managed to do it."
The main screen on the Desert Arena changed as it replayed the scene of Heaven\'s Calamity\'s boss monster raid.
After all, even the organizers didn\'t expect the Heaven\'s Calamity team to hunt the main boss so fast.
" Look, The scene is being replayed!"
" Let me see! I am really curious how they managed to hunt the main boss so fast."
The screen showed the Heaven\'s Calamity team traveling a fast pace. Strange enough, after killing the Desert Worms, they didn\'t encounter many monsters.
But what\'s stranger, they managed to find two hidden gold bars in their path, resulting straight two thousand points.
" Erm, Didn\'t they say the gold bars were hidden very well?"
" Look at them. They are acting like they know the gold bar in that place."
" Could it be they have some sort of powerful detection machine? Or does someone among them have some sort of perception related superpower?"
" The gold bars were sealed inside anti detection material box. Even powerful mutants would have a hard time perceiving them. If they managed to find it like that, they must have someone capable."
" Look! They have found the lair of the main boss!"
" I wonder what sort of monster it is?"
As they reached the lair, they removed a giant rock and revealed a cave inside. Reaching the center, they suddenly felt the entire cave rumbling.
A pair of eyes shone like burning charcoal in the darkness, gazing at the team of Heaven\'s Calamity team.
" What\'s that?"
" That\'s… Is that the legendary Earth Dragon?"
" Wow? You are saying dragons are real?"
The anchor saw the scene as he explained to the audience. " Since the boss monster has revealed itself, Allow us to give a brief description."
" This is a Magma Lizard, who resides deep in underground caves of desert. It lives where the flame energy is abundant. It has a gigantic body, as legends say it inherited a drop of dragon blood."
" It\'s a powerful monster and can be categorized as a peak A class monster. Not to mention, it has various abilities like a mutant!"
" What? A class monster?"
" Wow, I thought those monsters were rare? An A class monster like that needs at least an S rank member in the team to defeat it."
" Look! They are charging forward!"
The audience looked at the floating screen with bated eyes as they saw the team was led by Ming Yue. Ming Yue turned around and looked at Ashley and the team.
" So? You wanna go forward?"
" Sister Ming, Don\'t worry. I can handle it easily." Ashley punched her palm as a grin spread on her lips.
" We must not reveal our power easily." Ming Yue frowned. " There are still many pests hidden in the dark."
" Hmph, These beasts are nothing before the mutated beasts back in our home." Ashley couldn\'t help but mutter.
" Don\'t worry, I don\'t think I need to reveal my power."
Raising her hands, Ashley shouted. " Get in formation. Pull out your cold weapons! Gunners, stay behind and shoot!"
The soldiers nodded as they pulled out their swords. Their swords glinted even in the darkness. Two gunners pulled out sniper rifles as they aimed at the Magma Lizard from far.
*BANG! BANG!*
The bullets shot toward the Magma Lizard. However, suddenly, the Magma Lizard moved as it used the two crystal horns on its head to deflect the bullet.
*HISSSS!*
It looked as giant as an elephant. Suddenly, the body of the lizard moved fast as wind. Ashley\'s eyes narrowed as she looked at the lizard charging towards them.
" Raise your shields! Vanguards, Move!"
Three people walked forward as they waved their hands. Suddenly, light blue energy shields appeared before them.
*WHOOSHHH!*
The Magma Lizard breathed flames as it fell on the team of Heaven\'s Calamity like a torrent. The energy shields glowed as they bore the burnt of the raging flames.
The shield beares were pushed back. However, the energy shields defended the team perfectly.
" Now, Charge!"
The remaining soldiers held their weapons as they charged forward. Swinging their weapons, they attacked the Magma Lizard.
*HISSS!*
The scales of the Magma Lizard was thick, making even the sharpest weapons deflect easily.
However, the material quality of Heaven\'s Calamity team was way much higher.
The Magma Lizard let out a painful hiss as it hurriedly retreated. Breathing enough waves of fire, it created a defensive firewall around itself.
It already sensed the immense danger from the group of humans before it. However, before it could do anything else, it saw a female jumping through the wall of fire.
" DIE!!"
Raising the sword, a ray of purple flashed. The lizard groaned loudly as both of it\'s crystal horns were sliced off along with a large chunk of its face.
After Ashley attacked, the remaining soldiers of Heaven\'s Calamity Team also rushed forward.
" Attack its vital spots!"
" Kill it instantly!"
The audience outside looked at the screen with dumbfounded expression.
" The fight…"
" Isn\'t that rather…Anti climatic?"
" Wait, How much time has passed? It\'s only ten minutes!?"
" They killed a peak A rank monster in ten minutes? And the soldiers only used their martial arts abilities!"
" No, That blonde lady…She used some sort of power. It managed to slice through the tough skin of Magma Lizard so easily!"
" What sort of power is that? Is that Buff type Mutant power? Or elemental type?"
" Too vague! It\'s way too vague."
Someone stood up as he shouted. " Wait, this is a recap, isn\'t it? We need to see the latest footage!"
" Indeed! Show us the live feed!"
" We need to see what the Heaven\'s Calamity team doing right now."
Jun Ronghua was stunned as she looked at Jun Tianyun. " I knew your Heaven\'s Calamity mercenary team was exceptional. However, I never expected them to be this powerful."
" And those two women, they must be powerful mutants, no? Both of them…Are they S rank mutants?"
" Well, Maybe?" Jun Tianyun grinned as he looked at the screen. " Both of them could be said as the ace of my team."
" Haah, I guess my Dark Phoenix Guild can learn a lot from them." Jun Ronghua mused as her gaze fell on the screen.
When the live feed was back, the audience sucked a breath of cold air.
" What? Who are they?"
always-on-NovelFire
" They…They are the members of Dark Specter guild!"
Broken limbs, people lying on the ground and moaning in pain, with blood splashed around.
" Fuck, What the hell again happened in this period of time?"
" Recap! Show us the recap!"
As the audience booed, the organizers sighed as they played another replay on the screen.
Not long after killing the Magma Lizard, the Heaven\'s Calamity Team was gathering the material around it. But at that moment, they suddenly faced ambush from behind.
" Look! It\'s the Dark Specters! They are ambushing the Heaven\'s Calamity team!"
" I see, So that\'s how they defeated Sky Vanguard and took the first position?
" Not a bad plan. After killing the main boss, any team would have exhausted their strength. So, It\'s the perfect opportunity to ambush them and steal their points."
" Well, But unfortunately…Heaven\'s Calamity isn\'t just any team."
Wind swirled as the entire area was covered with a dusty gale storm. Even the screen was blanked out for a few moments.
" What happened?"
" Clear the screen, damn it!"
" AARRGH!"
" Help me! They are here!"
" Use the black magi-AARGH!"
Despite the blacked screen, the audience could hear the painful cries of the Dark Specter members.
And when the dust settled they saw Ashley standing in the middle of the littered bodies, her fist dripping with blood.
" Pathetic bastards." She took a huff as she turned around, waving hands at Heaven\'s Calamity soldiers.
" Pack up everything. We are going back!"
The audience remained silent as they watched the scene.
" I…I feel so scammed."
" This is…so bland."
" I want my money back."
