Salton's understanding of his own body was very accurate. In fact, those who were skilled in fighting techniques all knew their own bodies very well. It included the muscles, bones, blood vessels, and even the cells in the blood. Those who had a higher level of ability also knew their own genetic information like the back of their hands. This was a problem that had different abilities. It was similar to how an Elemental Domain user would understand energy, or how they would perceive the user's mind.
At this moment, Salton could feel the pain of his right wrist breaking. He knew that the fourth man's sniper rifle was stuck in a broken bone, crushing his nerves and numbing one of his arms. However, right now, Salton did not have the time to deal with his injuries even if it was the simplest possible treatment.
He backed away quickly and shouted roughly, ”Soldier, what are you waiting for? Gather the f * cking defensive formations. ”
At Salton's shout, a dozen soldiers came forward. They were divided into two groups, each holding a tower shield. One group squatted down while the other used the two layers of tower shields to form a wall three meters high and ten meters wide. At the same time as the defensive formation was being assembled, Salton ordered the gunner to step forward, reached the barrel through the gap left by the shield wall, and fired at the edge of the square.
Under the intense and intense gunfire, countless sparks flew out from the edge of the square. The tight rain of bullets had almost no gaps in them, and the erected Shield Wall effectively defended against the enemy's sniping attacks. This was a simple yet effective method of attack, and it was also a battle technique commonly used by Parkland's soldiers. Generally speaking, such an approach has no major drawbacks other than lack of initiative and mobility. But tonight, its shortcomings had expanded infinitely.
The heavy rain of bullets continued for a minute before the soldiers stopped firing after they emptied their magazines. Since there was no sound coming from the attack just now, it was so strange that it seemed as if the mysterious intruder had already retreated. Salton felt the same way, but he was sure that the invaders had not retreated.
As expected, the soldiers' gunshots stopped. In the darkness at the edge of the field, there was a dull whistling sound, like the roar of a demon beast from ancient times. Salton suddenly felt an extreme sense of danger. At this moment, a dark green ball of light lit up in the darkness.
An energy ball flew across the ground, heading in the direction of Salton and the others. The energy ball was wrapped in a layer of dark green light, and in the middle was a ball of blazing white light. The energy bullet was so fast, it appeared right before his eyes in the blink of an eye.
”Dodge!” Salton roared, and at the same time he threw himself to the ground, intending to roll sideways away from the trajectory of the energy bomb.
Never before had Salton felt that the passage of time was so slow that he could divide a second into innumerable intervals. This was because his body couldn't keep up with the speed of his thoughts. However, the speed of the energy laser was clearly not on the same level as his. Even as his mind was racing, Salton could see that the energy beam was still closing in at an extremely fast speed.
It gently touched the lower shield wall. The tower shield made of fine steel was easily penetrated by the energy beam, and there was no explosion that Salton had imagined was intercepted by the tower shield. But this situation was even worse, and Salton saw it pass through the tower shield and emerge from the back of a soldier. At this time, the dark green membrane surrounding the energy bomb had already disappeared, leaving only a dazzling, unstable white light.
Salton instinctively stretched out his hand, trying to push away the dangerous glow. However, before he could even stretch out his hand, the ball of light had already reached his chest. As if he had touched the sun, Salton's battle suit silently dissolved and his flesh disintegrated. Even his bones were charred black under the high temperature. When the ball of light half entered Salton's body, he could clearly feel the little sun in his chest explode. After losing the green halo, the Blazing Paradise started to emit a terrifying torrent of energy.
It did not only inundate Salton, but it also encompassed nearly twenty soldiers on the left. The air burned and expanded in the heat, followed by a huge ball of light rising in front of the tulip building. When the light illuminated the glass on the sixteenth floor of the building, the sound of an explosion rang out. Even the glass windows, which had undergone a complicated process, had cracks formed from the shockwave from the explosion. It was a shocking sight to behold.
After the explosion, the intense light was replaced by raging flames. A thousand degrees of flame swept across the first floor of the building. The glass was melted and the concrete walls were crystallized. As for the lamps and other things, they exploded one by one. As the flames died out, the building was charred black and filled with the scent of death. The hot air rose, causing the air to distort. Thus, when a figure appeared at the edge of the square, it was distorted like a demon.
When old Brent saw the figure, his hand trembled involuntarily.
”Father, hurry and leave.” While there's still time. ”
He wasn't the only one in the old man's room. Sauron's father, Heine, his brother, Jester, and son, Johansson, were present, with the exception of old Brant. The only difference was that Heine looked concerned, and Jester trembled. His son Johansson, on the other hand, seemed calmer. The shy boy was comforting his father, who was about to be overwhelmed by fear.
