Chapter 422: Counter Attack (2/2)
He showed another video where President Brent stood in front of the camera.
”I won't take your time since this is an emergency. I only want to say, we have two priorities. The first being the mole, while the second one is the citizens. Last but not least, I shall elevate one person to be the general of the army, becoming the supreme leader of our entire army.
”Henceforth, for this mission, with my authority as the president, I bestow Ria Ross the authority as the General of the Army. Kai Carter shall serve you as your deputies. The rest shall support them according to your tasks.” After announcing Ria Ross's supreme position, the president saluted with a grim expression.
Everyone instinctively raised from the seat as they saluted back.
President Brent lowered his hand, followed by Ria Ross and all generals here. She then shouted. ”Move out!”
Every single person in the room quickly departed from their seat to march toward the battlefield.
…
Meanwhile, the situation was also not that much better in California.
The city was enveloped by fire and smoke. The sound of screams lingered in four corners. Magical Beasts kept hunting humans while the military tried their best to suppress them.
Their efforts were supposed to be enough, but they miscalculated the power of an S Rank Magician Beast. They could call beasts upon beasts continuously until the nearby area was empty. And this showed how many beasts actually hid underground.
Luckily, there was only one hole they needed to focus on, so this situation was redeemable even with so many casualties.
Kai and the others were still facing the mole without knowing what to do. The mole's defense far surpassed that of the S Rank Spider, so even with Michelle's Shadow Slash, there wasn't even a dent on it.
”Kai!” Isabelle shouted with a serious expression as though she found something. ”The mole's fur is the one that is strong. I can see the difference in their fur. If you can blow the fur away, I'm sure you can cut that monster.”
Hearing the information, Kai furrowed his eyebrows while trying to find a way to clear that fur.
Rain didn't want them to deal with this alone, so he shouted. ”I can create a small barrier for you to push the fur. Although the space is not going to be big, I'm sure it's enough for you. However, I need someone to cover me because it will take all my focus.”
”Michelle, Ayaka!”
”Roger.” The two plus Dark Michelle leaped toward Rain. ”We will help you.”
”Understood. Let's go.” Rain nodded.
Kai quickly leaped toward the mole's head and slashed his sword, only to find it stopped by the claws.
At the very least, the mole's eyes were focused on Kai, so the small group went around the mole.
To prevent it from moving, Sofia created another huge boulder of ice on top of the mole but to no avail. The mole slashed it with its claw before throwing the smaller portion toward her.
Little did the mole know the real attack was not her but Tasha. She had teleported to the sky and created four magic circles in succession.
The thunder began to be heard behind the white cloud. ”Lightning God's Wrath.”
Blue lightning struck forth, hitting the magic circles in succession. Each time it passed through them, it became stronger and stronger until it hit the mole.
The mole summoned many spikes to divert the electricity, but the piercing power of the lightning itself was too great for the spikes to handle. It broke through and hit the mole's hand after it tried to move to protect its head.
Unfortunately, the lightning didn't manage to pierce the mole's hand.
But that was all they needed. Dark Michelle stopped the numb mole's body with her four scythes while Rain clapped his hand, summoning a small barrier that pushed out the fur in one space like when a human brushed their hair, showing the white head's skin.
Kai also had used his Sound Blast to go around the mole, finding that empty space. Without hesitation, he struck that little area and pierced a bit of the mole's skin as red blood splattered around his sword.
Roar.
