Chapter 501: 500, Monster Group Scouting Squad_1
The entire horde consisted of 3533 monsters, all controlled by the commander of Skuru’s expeditionary force—Langqi.
He had no choice but to control them.
Monsters had low intelligence. Without deliberate control, they would become disoriented. Not only would they be unable to methodically destroy Japan, they might even start attacking each other!
Because of this, when the Skuru people created them, they implanted control chips into the brains of each monster, allowing Langqi to command them.
After the Monster swarm emerged from the “Gravity Funnel,” Langqi ordered most of the monsters to destroy Japan’s Kyoto Prefecture, while simultaneously sending out three squads of twelve flying monsters, not for destruction, but specifically to scout out human society.
The first squad of three flew northward all the way along Hokkaido and Sakhalin Island into the Asian continent;
The second squad of three headed northwest, crossing the Sea of Japan to land on the Asian continent from Haishen City;
The third squad, being the main direction of movement for the monster swarm, had more monsters—six in total—heading southwest towards the Tsushima Strait.
…
After two hours of flight, the third squad had already crossed the Tsushima Strait and the Korean Strait, entering the territory of Goryeo. They prepared to find the most suitable route in East Sea for the monsters’ forced march in China.
But at that point, they noticed two black “dots” rapidly advancing towards them from not too far ahead.
These two “black dots” moved at an extremely high speed. In mere five seconds, they had covered a distance of five to six kilometers, rapidly enlarging in front of them.
This information was of course immediately passed on to the commanding officer Langqi, who immediately paid attention to it.
He was greatly surprised when he closely examined the images sent back by the six monsters, as he could clearly see the face of Su Yu in one of the rapidly enlarging “black dots” two kilometers away!
The other did not even need a second thought: if Su Yu was there, his pet Cat Morning Star would definitely be there.
“Retreat! Turn around 180 degrees and retreat at full speed!” Langqi immediately gave the retreat order to the six flying monsters.
These six flying monsters only had the strength of the fifth order, while Su Yu and Sprng Dawn were both at the peak of the sixth order. It would just be a delivery of a meal if they were to fight!
So Langqi ordered the six monsters to retreat immediately.
But it was too late.
Su Yu had just finished watching the video of massacres by the swarm, where each large-scale spell cast by magic-type monsters meant thousands and tens of thousands of Neon People’s death.
The Prime Minister of Japan, Fujiwara Chika, was letting out a raw, desperate cry on social media.
Su Yu was already full of suffocating anger.
Why would he let go of these six “delivered” monsters sent by the Skuru?
“Morning Star, I will kill the three on the right, you kill the three on the left. Let’s see who is faster!” Su Yu used the long-distance Flash Skill constantly in exchange for draining his magic power, but still had the time to turn back and talk to Cat Morning Star behind him.
“Okay.” the cat replied.
But then she flicked her whiskers, “If I win, what’s the reward?”
“If you win, I will treat you to grilled fish in Wanzhou after this battle. It’s the most famous grilled fish on our planet, unsurpassed.”
“You said it!”
When Morning Star heard the words ‘grilled fish’, she immediately perked up. Her excitement shot straight from “1” to “10”.
“Well, I’m going to be serious now!” She extended her sharp claws, which reflected the sunlight as if made of steel.
Whoosh—
A burst of starlight, moving almost at the speed of light, shot past Su Yu and flew towards the three monsters to his left.
This was the bottom-of-the-box displacement skill of the Cat Morning Star, [Stellar Transfer], which was even faster than Su Yu’s [Flash Skill].
In less than 3 seconds, Cat Morning Star reached the monster on the far left, activated the explosion skill, [Beast King’s Fury], and struck with a [Star Brilliance Claw Attack]. The cat’s paw, wrapped in a heavy swirl of star energy, lunged at the neck of a monster resembling a winged dragon.
The winged dragon monster, terrified, hastily gathered a red spiritual energy shield to place between it and Cat Morning Star.
However, against a full-fledged strike from a peak-stage 6 cat star, how could a stage-5 monster hope to block it?
According to combat power calculations, the Cat Morning Star was more than 30 times powerful than this monster!
Crack—
The red spiritual energy shield shattered under the claws of the Morning Star as if it was made of paper.
The cat paw of Cat Morning Star, breaking through the defense shield, clutched firmly onto the monster’s neck.
Hiss—
A sound that could make one’s teeth tingle, as the entire head of the winged monster was torn to pieces by the morning star. Its 30 meters long huge red body fell freely toward the sea below.
Cat Morning Star ignored the falling corpse of the monster and glanced at Su Yu.
However, when she looked at Su Yu, her expression instantly condensed.
At the moment, Su Yu had activated a multitude of explosive states, transforming into a small giant over four meters tall.
While she was instantaneously killing the monster, Su Yu activated the skill [Thunder Dragon Roar]. A two-meter-thick thunder dragon, moving at lightning speed, rushed towards a hawk-like Warcraft, with less than 10 meters separating it from the monster!
Cat Morning Star quickly calculated in her heart.
If she continues to kill monsters at the speed of [Cat Form], the thunder dragon released by Su Yu might kill the three flying monsters ahead of her!
She couldn’t agree to this.
Quickly, the Cat Morning Star morphed into the [Star Spirit Fox] form in the sky. A fluffy, adorable blue and white fox appeared.
[Star Spirit Fox] is a magic-type form that Cat Morning Star unlocked at level 70, enabling her to cast long-range spells.
However, Cat Morning Star doesn’t usually use this form because the [Star Core Dragon] completely substitutes the [Star Spirit Fox], delivering spells with a wider range and greater power in [Star Core Dragon] form.
But now was different.
The big battle was about to begin, and Cat Morning Star needed to save as much magic power as possible for the coming conflict, so she couldn’t waste a large amount of magic power by transforming into a [Star Core Dragon].
So she transformed into the [Star Spirit Fox], and as long as she killed the monsters before Su Yu, it would be enough.
…
After the successful transformation, Cat Morning Star immediately released her magic burst skill [Super Alliance].
[Super Alliance]: Connect with the Star Realm to increase the damage caused by all your spells by 40%, and increase the star realm energy generated by the Bright Moon Strike and Scorching Sun Wrath by 50% for 30 seconds. Cooldown time: 3 minutes.
The stars in the sky completely enveloped the small blue and white fox.
The little fox cast [Scorching Sun Wrath] and [Bright Moon Strike] on a target. A high-damage instant skill, [Star Surge Skill], was released, hitting another target with a huge meteor.
The Skuru people, creators of the monsters, had designed them primarily to combat Blue Star’s missiles and gunfire. Except for a hundred or so “Su Yu-special” monsters, the rest specialized in physical defense with almost zero magic resistance.
Under the little fox’s high magic damage, two monsters were utterly incapable of resistance. They were instantly dissolved into fine powder by the star realm’s energy, sprinkling towards the sea below.
