Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After Kareenlynis suddenly made a sharp move without warning and ended Sheila’s temporary boyfriend’s life, she used her eyes that glistened a dim red to glance through the entire table emotionlessly, causing those on the table who was just about to yell out to swallow their voices.

The female warrior’s display was terrifying. However, Zhang Lisheng, who had fallen into an absolutely calm state through the incantation of a spell in his heart, felt a sense of joy instead.

He was finally sure that it was not only him who thought that his opponent was unpredictable and must be treated with extreme caution, but the same also went to Sage Altman as well.

The sage who came from the supernatural realm and the eccentric sorcerer beside him hated Zhang Lisheng so much that it had already started to provoke the wizard power in the young man’s body to surge to the extent of boiling already but still, they remained at the stage where they only kept testing him with words.

It was apparent that in the hearts of these two people, this Zhang Lisheng who appeared in front of them in a pretentious manner in the evening with a radiant look while holding on a big dog after killing their powerhouses — Casdia, the weapon master who coordinated in both offense and defense; Efyrmin, the berserker who was keen in bloody and violent attacks; and Ovidiste, the archer who was good in stealth and long-range attacks — had a prowess that far exceeded their imagination. When they put this image together with his strange performance of a weak facade yesterday, they could only describe him as enigmatic.

Now that the young man had sorted his mind clear about this, he suddenly felt that he was no longer in the passive position as he had first thought. There was only one warrior left to protect Altman and Julinas while he had three wizard gus to protect himself.

The psychological change in a human being was ever so subtle. Due to the enemy’s cautiousness, Zhang Lisheng’s confidence unconsciously increased, his heart turned 180 degrees as a bold idea flashed in his mind.

“Sage Altman, I’ve just witnessed the brutality and strength of all of you who came from the supernatural realm last night so there’s no need for you to use your indiscriminate killing to deepen my impression of you. Just tell me directly, what is the purpose for you to look for me after kidnaping Tina?”

“I’ve said before, we want to leave this island.”

“This is easy. Even though Oahu has four military bases, in such an international tourist spot like this city, the US army will never seal the entire island to restrict the tourists’ departure unless the situation deteriorates to the extreme. Since all of you can make a breakthrough to the city of Honolulu and can even eat your dinner without a worry in a five-star hotel like the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, this means that...”

The young man casually caressed the big dog beside his feet as he talked with fervor and assurance. Just when Altman and the two others had their attention entirely on him, he suddenly made an attack gesture with his hand, as taught by the dog trainer from the Walrus Bay Pet Shop.

The Mastiff that had been rigorously trained before did not even hesitate. At the same time when the young man made his gesture, it dashed forward, with strength so great that it actually overturned the table as it charged towards Kareenlynis.

In the midst of awe and dumbstruck, the female warrior smiled coldly. She did not block nor counterattack. Instead, she pulled Tina to block in front of her.

The big dog pounced on Tina, causing the girl to cry in terror. When Kareenlynis who was behind her was just about to ridicule Zhang Lisheng, she realized that the Mastiff’s body suddenly split open, gushing out hundreds of giant flying insects that had a stinger as long as their bodies.

After the flying insects ripped the big dog’s body apart, they flapped their wings rapidly and wiggled their stingers as they stabbed at the female warrior’s hands that were binding Tina’s body.

Kareenlynis did not get flustered. Her left hand waved lightly as if there was no heavy object loaded on it as she began to brandish Tina as a shield. A rapier the size of a table knife slipped out of her sleeve and soon pierced through three insects in just a blink of an eye.

However, at this time, more and more flying insects had surrounded her closely. At the same time, three stingers that were more than 100 meters long suddenly emerged out of the darkness of the coastline and stabbed the female warrior’s back with a strong sharp wind.

Upon hearing the wind resonating from behind, Kareenlynis did not even turn her head around before brandishing her arm around to play the same old trick, using Tina to block behind her. Right at that moment, the flying insects in front of the female warrior suddenly enlarged in size, more than ten times of their original size. Their full bellies engorged rapidly before bursting open silently.

In an instant, a vacuum formed from a cluster of vacuum bombs emerged without warning, tearing half of Kareenlynis’ body into pieces.

Her shattered skeleton could no longer hold her brain and internal organs. Just like that, the wreckage of her body collapsed on the ground. At this moment, Tina had already been grasped by the giant claws appearing out of nowhere, together with Trish and Sheila, before being placed somewhere safe.

As Zhang Lisheng sacrificed his Mastiff to make the sudden attack on Kareenlynis, he fell onto the ground directly and commanded the Mountoad to expand, bursting through the backpack to cover him entirely.

After killing Kareenlynis, he immediately commanded these several dozens of insect soldiers to turn around to attack Altman and Julinas who had already inflicted severe injuries on the Mountoad.

“Alysius...” Constantly flipping through the heavy book in his hands, Altman summoned a warrior, automatic flying shield and a consolidated air wall he drew on the pages with his finger using his Spiritual Energy as ink to block the wizard gu’s sticky tongue. Not only that, but he also fought back with formidable strength as well. When he witnessed the force of the insect soldiers exploding, he had no choice but to take out his concealed chess piece to join in the battle.

Upon hearing his shout, a green-chinned big man with a face of perseverance blended in among the panic-stricken tourists scattering everywhere picked up the shield and longsword buried in the sand, before appearing in front of Altman to shield him in one fell swoop.

At this moment, a series of horrifying buzzing sounds resonated from the distant horizon. A few seconds later, a group of dark fog consisting of millions of tiny flying insects shrouded the entire starry sky above the Royal Hawaiian Hotel’s private beach.

“Let’s go.” Without the need to ponder over it, Altman knew who was the culprit for this group of bloodthirsty flying insects that were getting near the beach. After he had distinguished between their strength, he howled out loud and drew three pair of wings on the pages, prompting a pair of wings to grow on Julinas, Alysius and him in reality, before flying to the sky.

However, Zhang Lisheng, who had already turned the situation completely around, was not willing to let go of these banes of trouble. He commanded the insect soldiers blended in the cloud-like flying insects to chase up to the sky to bite them without letting go.

Seeing that they could not escape at all, Alysius, who was a weapon master like Casdia, transformed the round shield in his hand to a tower shield through his vindictiveness before displaying a final bow at Altman. “Sage Altman, let me cover a retreat for you.”

Then, no longer retreating, he flew up and down dancing in the air to block the innumerable flying insects on behalf of his companion.

By the time the warrior fell on the shore covered in injuries and got devoured by the wizard gu, Altman and Julinas who did not hesitate over Alysius’s sacrifice as they continued to flee decisively, finally disappeared into the night in the midst of the boundless darkness.

After the enemy escaped, Zhang Lisheng, who commanded his Mountoad to jump into the sea, stood up from the beach and muttered to himself, “They’ve escaped... sigh. If Crocodragon who can fly was here in the first place, they would have died tonight.”

Soon after, he gradually searched for his way to reach Tina and the two others in the midst of the blinding clouds of insects that were prancing all over the place.

“Tina, are you okay?’

“I-I’m okay! I’m okay! Lisheng! Lisheng! I remember now! The horrifying encounter w-we encountered in Amazon and y-your Mountoad, y-your Island Dragon... Who were these people? W-Why could they fly like S-Superman? A-And they’re very strong too... What the hell? It was like a scene from a magical movie just now...”

“They came from a supernatural realm. Urgh, forget it! These are not important. I’ll explain it to you in the future. What’s important now is that we have to leave Oahu immediately! These two people who have escaped have no way of retreating now so god knows what they would do.”

“I have a yacht license and a yacht at the Hanalei Pier...”

“What are we waiting for then?”

“That Alice...”

“She’s dead, so are those few beach boys that you just newly knew. Julinas’s sorcery has killed them and many innocent people on the beach. But still, she was the one who brought it upon herself. We should go, Tina. It would be hard for us to leave by the time the police arrives.”

After Zhang Lisheng said so, he grabbed Tina’s hand and ran inside the Royal Hawaiian Hotel together with Trish and Sheila who had yet to recover from their shock.

A long queue was already formed at the front desk in the lobby, all of them were guests waiting for check-out. It was apparent that the peculiar scene on the beach had terrified many people.

Feeling that the check-out time was taking too long, Zhang Lisheng did not even check out his room before taking the three girls through the panicked crowds and quickly walked out of the hotel to stop a taxi by the street.

As the four of them rushed to the Hanalei Pier, 13 kilometers west of Honolulu City, in the US Armed Force’s most powerful and strongest fortress in the Pacific that was made of billions of tons of cement and steel in the Naval Base Pearl Harbor, a moderately built middle-aged officer with a slightly thin body and an ordinary face who had an extremely dignified and sharp gaze, was striding towards the office of the US Pacific Fleet’s commander, ignoring the officers who saluted at him in the brightly lit spacious corridor.

“Major Maeger, General Ordi is in a meeting...” The officer standing in front of the commander’s office and the secretary who stood up in haste said nervously when they saw him walking towards them from far away.

“Ask him to suspend the meeting then,” the middle-aged officer said with a blank expression before pushing the officer aside and pushed the door open to the office directly. “The lives of the frontline soldiers are more important than any meeting.”

The size of the office was not big. Other than the Pacific Ocean map, world map and American map plastered on the three walls that were filled with colors, the room was furnished with monochrome decorations, like a white floor, white computers, black desks, black office chairs and so on.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, an old man with three stars on his shoulder sitting on the office chair looked up. After waiting for the middle-aged officer to finish his speech, he waved his hand and let the officer shut the door before saying amiably, “Maeger, I was once a battlefield commander too so I fully understand what you’re feeling right now. However, we’re not the civilians. As a soldier, you should remember that the interests of the state are above all else, and the command of the chief is the maxim of action.”
