Chapter 333: Chapter 213: Miracle Reappears, Giant Descends (5000 Words)
"Boom..."
Yara City.
Just a moment ago, the sky had been pristine and cloudless, but within the blink of an eye, it was enveloped by pitch-black clouds like ink.
The black clouds blotted out the sky and sun, plunging the entire city into darkness while simultaneously paralyzing its mechanical systems.
Looking out over the city, the dazzling lights extinguished rapidly, and the blaring alarms fell abruptly silent.
Countless people fled in panic toward the safe zone, various streams of Star Power converging into a torrent that brought a flicker of light to the city drowned in darkness.
Atop the Yala Group building, Su Liang stood at the pinnacle of Da Xia, lifting his gaze to the ink-black clouds above, his expression dark with frustration.
Behind him, three men adorned in ornate battle armor observed the chaos in the city, their expressions varying wildly, their thoughts unreadable.
"Mr. Su, these black clouds not only interfere with distress signals, but the bat-like sound waves emanating from them are affecting mechas and battle armors alike. What should we do now?"
One of the men stepped forward and addressed Su Liang’s back.
Su Liang turned his head, a faint trace of disgust flickering across his face.
"What should we do? The mess created by your Yala Group—now you’re asking me what to do?" His tone brimmed with sarcasm.
Another of the three stepped forward, "Mr. Su, our immediate priority should be resolving this disaster. Once this passes, we’ll leave the handling of Yala Group to Beast Cultivation Main City."
"Exactly, Mr. Su. As someone from Beast Cultivation Main City, surely you wouldn’t stand idly by and let hundreds of thousands of people in Yara City perish at the hands of the monsters?"
The remaining man wore a facade of benevolence that made Su Liang’s stomach churn.
Now they’re thinking about the lives of hundreds of thousands?
A pack of greedy, hypocritical fools.
Although Su Liang wanted nothing more than to ignore the three, their attempts at moral coercion were a burden he had no choice but to endure.
As much as he loathed them, he couldn’t bring himself to coldly consign them all to their doom.
"Relax. Before the black clouds struck, I already requested reinforcements from Beast Cultivation Main City. As long as we hold off the monsters in the clouds for a bit, this crisis will soon be resolved."
No sooner had Su Liang spoken than Leng Wanbai shot over, trailing Cold Ice Energy.
"Mr. Su, it’s bad news. Because of the black clouds, the transmission array has failed—the reinforcements may not arrive."
"What?"
Hearing this, Su Liang and the others were utterly shocked.
"The transmission array isn’t working—then the reinforcements..."
Su Liang gritted his teeth, his heart filling with dread.
Judging by the menacing nature of the black clouds, the monsters hidden within were at least Nightmare Level 5-star—far beyond his ability to contend with.
As for the three Yala Group leaders behind him, who were weaker than Su Liang himself, they were even less equipped to be decisive.
Without the transmission array, reinforcements from Beast Cultivation Main City would take significantly more time to reach Yara City.
Even using the array to teleport to the nearest sea-base in South America would still require half a day at minimum to get here.
During this time—relying solely on the four of them, each at the level of Unbreakable Realm Three Stars—they had no hope of survival!
Just as these thoughts raced through his mind, the black clouds covering the sky suddenly transformed into a massive vortex, from which sharp, piercing sound waves emanated, splitting heads with agony.
"Buzz..."
Visible sound waves swept through the city, driving countless people to clutch their heads as they wailed in pain, their eyes turning bloodshot with terror.
Leng Wanbai, struck by the sound waves, suffered searing agony in her mind—a cold, detached aura engulfing her body.
The Frozen Bone Eater Gu that controlled her body was impervious to the sound waves.
Su Liang and his three companions froze briefly, but quickly regained their composure.
"The three of you—follow me later to confront this monster. Everyone else from Yala Group should gather the population and focus all efforts on eliminating those hordes of Bloodsucking Bats."
Su Liang’s expression was grave as he commanded the three.
No matter how powerful this monster may be, he could not afford to retreat.
Humanity is not meant to be food for monsters!
It was this belief that drove him to become a Monster Hunter, and later, the opportunity to be chosen by the principal to become a teacher at Beast Cultivation Main City.
The three exchanged uneasy glances, fear flashing in their eyes.
"Mr. Su, the monster’s strength is beyond anything we could handle. Perhaps we should withdraw and wait for reinforcements..."
Before the man could finish his sentence, Su Liang’s eyes flashed with Thunder Power. Lightning shot forth in the void, enveloping the three in a terrifying aura.
"Cowards have no right to survive. Either join me in holding off the monster...
Or I’ll kill you myself!"
At this moment, Su Liang radiated a ferocious energy, like a Nightmare-level Monster ready to devour anyone in its path.
Their cowardice had pushed Su Liang to an eruption.
He couldn’t remember the last time he had been this consumed with fury.
As a child, witnessing monsters feast on humans for the first time.
As a teenager, losing his parents to the Beast Tide that stormed the city, while being utterly powerless and plunged into despair...
After becoming a Monster Hunter, encountering horrors far worse than monsters—including the ugliness of human nature—and finding comrades who shared his conviction...
Until he met the principal and became a teacher...
Memories he had long buried now surfaced one by one, and even the near-death experience under Atomic Breath had failed to ignite his rage as today’s events did.
Millions of lives were at stake, and he absolutely refused to walk away.
Even if it meant facing death, he would not let down the principal—or betray his convictions!
Under the crushing aura that Su Liang unleashed, fear rippled through the hearts of the three.
Such terrifying Thunder Power.
