The Figure of Light’s Scheme
[ Afraid? ]
Upon hearing Yan Wuyue’s words, Zhou Mingrui sneered through the voice transmission. [Do you think I’d be afraid of those pathetic puppets that are being controlled? ]
Yan Wuyue said, [I may not know anything about psychology, but I was once dead. You look like me after witnessing war several times. ]
[ It’s something called post-traumatic stress syndrome. To be honest, the current beast tide is nothing compared to the monsters after the great calamity. ]
[ That’s why you should be glad that you have the chance to get used to this kind of traumatic scene through battle. I didn’t have the time back then, and I had to face a beast tide that was even more terrifying than this. ]
[ During that period, I wasn’t allowed to grieve because the world after the great calamity was too chaotic. Before true order was established, I lived under heavy pressure. ]
[ I’m not saying this to show you how sad I am. I’m just telling you that I can still stand here and talk to you despite these traumatic memories. ]
[ Reality won’t take pity on you just because you’re weak but will only be harsher and crueler on you ]
[ That’s why, Zhou Mingrui, you shouldn’t be acting like this. ]
After hearing Yan Wuyue’s words in one breath, Zhou Mingrui rubbed his forehead.
He wanted to refute, but he had no reason to, for Yan Wuyue was right. He had been indeed a little scared just now.
But after all, he had never experienced any battlefields in his previous world. Killing and facing so many powerful enemies at the same time could easily destroy a person’s psychological endurance.
He used to be a hater online, criticizing the protagonist in a novel for being too weak and not tough at certain times.
At this moment, Zhou Mingrui finally realized that having emotions only showed that he was a human.
Bang!
Just as Zhou Mingrui was thinking, a loud explosion suddenly came from the sky not far away, attracting the attention of everyone present.
Everyone got up and looked at the sky where the sound came from, but it was blue and clear.
However, after a breath, a twisted black ball suddenly appeared in the sky.
As time passed, the black ball was getting closer and closer to them.
Along its way, the black ball kept emitting powerful crescent-shaped energy fluctuations, which spread in all directions.
“That’s …” Red Fox seemed to know what happened, but she was not sure.
“That’s Lieutenant General Yu’s team and that figure of light,” Yan Wuyue said with certainty.
While everyone was still in shock, the black shadow had already closed to a height of several hundred meters above them.
Rays of light blue crescent-shaped brilliance spread out from the black shadow one after another, and the surrounding clouds in the sky were scattered at the first moment.
After the ball was close enough, everyone could feel the power of the energy fluctuations. It was clear that the battle inside was overwhelming.
A few minutes after arriving, the black ball exploded under constant distortion and shock, revealing the battle scene inside.
Following an intense burst of light, seven figures directly flew out from the black shadow Ball, but they quickly found their balance.
These seven figures were the general’s team led by Lieutenant General Yu. They split up for a second, but they still quickly surrounded the figure of light.
After half an hour of battle, the uniform of Lieutenant General Yu’s team was torn and scarred. It was clear that the previous battle had not been easy.
At this moment, the figure of light had already transformed into an irregular monster shape. A large number of light bands formed into huge tentacles, which could change form at any time to meet the enemy.
After the generals came out of the black shadow Ball, they all subconsciously scanned their surroundings. When they saw the countless monsters below, everyone’s expressions changed.
“Sir, this guy is up for no good!”
The generals were not ordinary people, and they had been already suspicious when they saw the scene. How could the figure of light be able to get them to the front of the beast tide after half an hour of intense fighting?
Lieutenant General Yu’s expression turned grave as he looked at the figure of light, whose body was covered in threads of light that kept extending and changing forms.
What he noticed was different from others. From the very beginning of the collision and the battle until now, the figure of light gave him the feeling that he was stalling for time.
As for what his plan was, Yu Zhongwei didn’t and couldn’t know.
But now, looking at the enormous beast tide below, he knew what was wrong.
“Get out of the way!”
Lieutenant General Yu’s shout stunned the surrounding generals, but they still subconsciously took a step back.
The summoned spirit beside Lieutenant General Yu was instantly disintegrated into pieces of armor and attached to Lieutenant General Yu’s body.
Within a few seconds, a set of armor was already on general Yu’s body.
War Spirit Synchronization
After the skill was activated, the armor on general Yu’s body suddenly burst into a bright light, and the lines on the armor glowed continuously.
He clenched his hand forward, and a huge sword that was three meters long and half a meter wide was caught in his hand.
[ Here we go. This is Lieutenant General Yu’s strongest move in the early stages of the great calamity. He must have sensed something and is ready to end the battle as soon as possible. ]
Yan Wuyue explained to Zhou Mingrui when he saw what was happening in the sky.
[ What is that guy trying to do? There must be a reason for him to bring those generals to the battlefield,] Zhou Mingrui said with a frown.
[ No matter what, everything will be fine as long as he gets rid of this guy,] Yan Wuyue said directly.
After completing his transformation, Lieutenant General Yu let out a low growl. His body moved, causing a sonic boom in the air as he charged toward the figure of light at a terrifying speed that exceeded the speed of sound.
He hadn’t used his full strength before because it was very risky to go all out against a completely unfamiliar opponent.
After all, they had no idea about the figure of light’s abilities and special combat methods.
That was why they had been all testing him out. However, seeing the current situation, Lieutenant General Yu, who had a strong battle instinct, naturally could not let this guy go.
In the blink of an eye, Lieutenant General Yu had crossed a distance of several dozen meters. The longsword in his hand was already slashing down at the figure of light with a dazzling red flame.
The figure of light’s huge tentacle had already turned into a blade or a spiral spike, stabbing straight at Lieutenant General Yu’s body in advance, while the other tentacle turned into a thick meat shield in front of him.
His offensive and defensive stance were enough to trap most of his enemies, but Lieutenant General Yu’s eyes were cold and murderous.
