More and more missiles were fired by both parties, but neither did any major damage to each other.
The explosions of missiles in midair were so loud that they deafened the academy"s guards. They were not wearing their helmets, so the loud explosions were enough to tear their eardrums.
On the other hand, the opposing party was well equipped. The armors that they were wearing were also capable of blocking or deflecting energy bullets, and it could even be said that they were armed to the teeth.
They advanced forward while firing an unending amount of energy bullets. Their vehicles seemed to be capable of blocking energy bullets since all shots fired their way merely bounced off their cars" surfaces.
The attacking party looked to have made great preparations for this surprise a.s.sault.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Loud booming sounds echoed within the twenty kilometers area solely owned by the academy. The air whistled from time to time as missiles and javelins were fired continuously.
The academy"s guards were at a disadvantage because they were unprepared for the attack. They were only equipped with energy bullets and thick kevlar body armor. Still, it was not enough to block the energy bullets of the opposing party.
Kevlar body armor might be able to block normal bullets, but the energy bullets fired at them were way beyond an average bullet in terms of power and penetrating force.
Cale was still on the process of providing weapons and armors for his soldiers, but he was short on Black Coins after buying a lot of Energy Guns, military weapons, and also the anti-ballistic missile system from "The Black Market". So he was only able to buy kevlar body armors for his soldiers. It was supposed to be enough to deter any other country"s soldiers, but their current opponent seems to be backed by the demi-humans.
Some of the academy"s guards had their bodies riddled with holes before they dropped on the ground, dead. Blood dyed the walls of the academy as more and more guards lay dead on the ground.
"This is not good. Our energy bullets" power is not enough to penetrate their armors. We need High-Powered Energy Rifles to kill them. But only a few of our men were equipped with those." Demetrio gritted his teeth. He did not want another repeat of what had happened to their world. He did not want to experience the same painful feeling of losing his family members.
After staying for more than a year with Cale and his subordinates, he started to accept them as his new family, especially his disciples and the men under his command.
"Their missiles are not unlimited, in another three minutes or so, they would consume all their missiles. As for their javelins... that I don"t know." Kenji spoke solemnly while glaring at the advancing attackers. He similarly held the same hatred towards the demi-humans. And although the attackers were humans, he knew that those aliens played a great role in this surprise attack.
"But with our current situation, more than three minutes of continuous missile attacks would be dire for us. With that amount of time, they would be able to breach inside the academy." Leonhart fired his Energy Rifle after he spoke.
"Defend the academy, I will destroy their missiles. I will also try to destroy their anti-ballistic missile system." Zero pulled out two Energy Pistols with a long and gleaming knife attach below their barrels. He disappeared from his location as he jumped from atop the wall of the academy.
"s.h.i.+t! What a reckless fellow!" Demetrio cursed under his breath after seeing Zero vanish from where he stood. He then glanced at the academy"s guards and shouted an order.
"Soldiers, provide cover fire for Zero! Don"t hold back! Fire at will!"
He then pulled his own Energy Rifle and fired madly at the advancing party.
The attacks from their Energy Pistols might not be able to kill their enemies, but the resulting shock from directly receiving an energy bullet would still be enough to injure their internal organs. And since the attackers were human, their internal organs would be much easier to injure.
Zero dashed amidst the ongoing crossfire. He was wearing a bionic armor that can block heavy energy rifle bullets. But he was still carefully evading the shots fired his way.
The energy bullets appeared to be in a slow-motion in his eyes. This was the ability he gained after advancing towards the Divine-Cla.s.s level. He was able to see the trajectory of each energy bullet in great detail. But it was not easy to control this ability as it consumes a lot of his origin essence.
"I can only use this ability for three more minutes. And after that, all of my origin essence would be consumed. But it should be enough time for me to destroy their missiles." He fired shots as he dashed towards the enemy"s missile carrier.
"How were they even able to bring these weapons here without the government detecting them? The Philippines" government could not really be trusted. s.h.i.+t! His lords.h.i.+p was right!"
"Doov!"
"Doov!"
"Doov!"
He evaded the energy bullets like a phantom and arrived at the attackers" perimeter. They fired madly at Zero, but it was hard to shoot him down at close range. Zero used the knives attached on his Energy Pistols to slash the enemies that were surrounding him.
"Slas.h.!.+"
"Slas.h.!.+"
"Slas.h.!.+"
More than five heads rolled on the ground while their headless corpses dropped with heavy thuds. Blood can be seen trickling down the gleaming surface of Zero"s Energy Pistols" knives.
Zero dashed towards the missile carrier and threw all his energy bombs, but before he could retreat, a tall and robed silhouette blocked his escape route.
The strength of a middle stage Divine-Cla.s.s level fighter burst out of his body as his reddish pupils glared at Zero.
"Five or ten more seconds before those Energy Bombs would explode. Looks like this is it for me. I"m sorry, my lord. I"m sorry, brother Brogen."
Zero smiled weakly as he pulled out several knives from his sleeve. He threw the knives towards the robed man who evaded them with ease. He then charged at Zero and kicked him with all his strength.
Zero blocked the kick with his arms, but he was still thrown out by the force of the kick. His opponent dashed towards Zero and smashed his body with a strong punch. He then saw the human with grayish-white pupils smirking evilly at him.
He suddenly felt that something was wrong, but it was too late for him to know what it was.
"4... 3... 2...1..." After the words left Zero"s lips...
"Booooooom!"
