Chapter 296: The crucible of War 9

The big bang Part 1

/*unedited*/

An almost endless number of different kinds of creatures stood before them, and behind them are the already ruined building. They could not fly, they could not run, how can they escape this predicament?

In this desperate the voice of Shin Jiao echoed through their minds with a resounding snap, bringing their attention towards the situation at hand.

"I will give each of you some weapons. And to use it all you have to do is pull the trigger. If you can understand arrays, you can inject your Qi in that array making your bullets more powerful…" Shin Jiao quickly explained to them how to use the weapons he will give them.

"Humans… have you decided what to do next? I am not a very patient Lord, but I will still give you some time. Now, I will give you another five minutes and then my army will kill you… Hahaha. Oh, by the way, your highness. Welcome to my lair… Keke…" Azmodiaz said with an evil grin.

Hearing the echoing words of the demon, the three people who just joined Shin Jiao's team was confused.

However, Shin Jiao didn't bother with the demon Azmodiaz. He began to distribute a long-barreled rifle to each of them.

When the young cat woman saw the rifle she immediately realized what Shin Jiao was talking about. And because she had learned about arrays from the humans these past few months, she is a bit familiar with them.

Then Shin Jiao gave them some instructions on how to shot and what to do.

It didn't take long for them to learn about the rifles.

After that Shin Jiao began setting up array formation around them. Since their opponents are golems, holy shield array is useless, so he just set up a level 3 high-grade array which expended two of the unique cores and a thousand of spirit stones.

Luckily for them, he has stolen so much from those underground gangs.

After setting up everything and even creating three bunkers-like defensive spots for the cat woman and her two companions, Shin Jiao began working on his project under a camouflage array.

Upon seeing this, the demon Azmodiaz immediately became interested in Shin Jiao that he forgot to command his golems to attack while Shin Jiao is building stuff.

"This human is interesting, I need to get him alive. I force him to create those weapons and then arm my golems with his unique weapons and armors. If I can do that, then I would be the most powerful being in this world. I will conquer everything and then turn them all into golems. Hihihi…"

As he muses while looking at Shin Jiao Azmodiaz can't help but lick his dark lips with his long slimy tongue. Then his gaze turns towards the woman standing beside Shin Jiao. Her beauty and elegance would truly make one dream of having her for one's self.

The incomparable beauty of Agnes is a cause of talk inside the demon kingdom. Even the great general Belfast has his sight on her. But what confused him right now is that she seems to be fine and she turned into a human.

But her aura as the demon queen still lingers into his consciousness.

In truth he has never seen her before, what Belfast gave him is the scent of the demon queen's dark aura. Hence upon smelling it inside his lair, he decided to try her out. But who would have known that his golems would immediately fall in the hands of that young human?

While thinking, Azmodiaz suddenly noticed that Shin Jiao's figure suddenly disappear from his view. He immediately panicked and searches his surroundings. But no matter how hard he tries to search he can see nothing.

Knowing the ability of the young man, he began to panic. He immediately flew towards his safe bunker. In actuality, Azmodiaz is a coward. This is the reason why he relies fully on his golems and began making them stronger because he didn't want to face anyone in battle face to face.

Upon entering the bunker, he activated a spell and suddenly a small circular object floated to the sky. This seemingly inconspicuous object is actually the eye and heart of the huge spell array surrounding the city and about 300 meters in radius around it.

"Where are you? Do you think you can hide from me?" muttered Azmodiaz as he began searching the vicinity within the city for Shin Jiao.

"There you are, got yah."

Peng!

Shin Jiao was actually waiting for this. For a while now, he has been sending out his absolute sense and is slowly checking the array in the city. And he found out that the array is actually a very simple one. However, it can camouflage the whole city that even a heavenly nascent realm cultivator would not notice anything that is happening inside this ruined city.

But now, using a long rifle he immediately shot that small eye-like object and shattered it into pieces.

No!!!

"Attack! Attack! Kill them! Kill them all!" shouted Azmodiaz inside his bunker.

Upon receiving a mind transmission from their master, the golems began to move. They began rushing like a large wave of seawater crashing towards the defensive barrier that Shin Jiao has set.

Suddenly, Agnes activated the cloaking function of the array and made them disappear. Upon doing so a large commotion happened. Those at the front stopped rushing however those behind still charge forward making a large stampede.

BANG!

CRASH!

The loud destruction happened as the golems began falling to the ground. Azmodiaz who is hiding behind his bunker can't see anything outside because the array is now broken. This means that the cloaking and the restraint in this ruined city are now off.

Immediately, Agnes felt her power coming back in her body as a strong wave of mana began revolving inside of her. This same feeling was felt by the rest of the people with her.

Shin Jiao didn't bother with what is happening outside; instead, he focuses on his work. The reason for this is because of the danger of what he is making. With a single wrong move, it might cause the end of his life and the lives of his companions.

So he needed to be careful and put all of his focus in his work. Shin Jiao has actually known that there might be a time when he needs to use this weapon. However, since it causes such huge destruction to both humans and the environment, Shin Jiao is unwilling to have that. However, this time it is different.

He began to combine the already prepared materials and began assembling the components with careful precision.

…

Outside Agnes and the group began firing at the incoming waves of the golem. With the long rifle on hand and the level three shields protecting them, they were at ease as they clean out row after row of golems. Even Jinyu Ji excitedly picks his target and also began firing rapidly than the rest.

This is because he is just a mortal and didn't need to charge bullets with Qi or mana. All he did was shot and shot and then reload and then shoot again.

However, his effectiveness far surpasses the four powerful men and women around him.

When Agnes saw this she immediately frowns and then decided to follow his lead.

However, they soon found out that their bullets are decreasing rapidly.

Although because of the war Shin Jiao prepared hundreds and thousands of bullets he didn't expect that is would soon be depleted this way.

On the other hand, Azmodiaz began frowning after hearing the still rushing sound outside. He thought that everything was over. However, he still needed to take a peek outside so that he can communicate with his golems.

Without a choice, he began going up. Then upon reaching the covering of his small bunker, he slowly opens the lid and takes a peek outside.

What he saw immediately dumbfounded him, and then rage suddenly wells up his chest.

He painstakingly grew and cultivated these living golems like his own children until they became as strong as a grand knight. And now, they are being picked like flies by those despicable humans?

He was too outraged that he immediately flew out of his bunker.

"How dare you hurt my children? I will kill every one of you and turn your corpses into food for my babies! You must die!" shouted Azmodiaz as he began to congeal a large amount of mana energy in his hands.

"Not good! He is an Elemental Lord just like me!" Agnes shouted as she too immediately formed a strong force in her hands and began congealing her mana.

The rest continuously shots the golems who are charging towards them.

Now a small mountain has already formed out of the dead bodies of the golems around them.

As Azmodiaz threw a beam of lighting towards the barrier, Agnes released her dark power meeting that lightning beam. Because of this the barrier broke coming from the impact of two energies colliding together.

Azmodiaz flew backward like a kite with broken strings, and Agnes spews out a mouthful of blood from the backlash.

At this time, Shin Jiao went out of the concealment array and immediately saw the carnage around them. Upon seeing that Agnes was sitting weakly on the ground and a trace of blood leaking at the side of her mouth, he felt sorry for her.

But he is happy to have finished a small bomb in his hand.

However, a glint of slyness appears on Shin Jiao's eyes as he suddenly rushed forward towards the battlefield. Everyone was dumbfounded at his action.

Shin Jiao hides the bomb and in its place, his black katana extended out.

He began slashing and stabbing as his figure blinking to and fro in the middle of the army of golems.

"What is he doing?" shouted Agnes in agitation.

Worry is clearly written all over her beautiful face.

Suddenly everyone noticed something. They have noticed that many of the huge golems that have died start to disappear. And upon seeing this, they can't help but shook their head at Shin Jiao's action.

"Is that guy a miser or something? How can he think of harvesting those corpses during battles?" Agnes grumbled.

She was worried for nothing.

Suddenly Shin Jiao's figure flashed towards them and shouted.

"Convey on me immediately or you will die!" he shouted.

Although they were a bit taken aback, they immediately ran towards Shin Jiao while still shooting at the endless number of golem going at them. Without the barrier, they knew that they would die in this situation.

Suddenly, they saw Shin Jiao taking out a teleportation scroll.

"Hold on for 30 seconds."

Shin Jiao shouted and his voice started counting down.

30…

29…

28…

…

20…

…

10…

The golems have already broken pass through the barrier and are already almost at them. Everyone is already firing like crazy at this time.

3…

2…

1…

Suddenly their vision turned blank and then they felt the sand on their feet.

"Move now!" Shin Jiao shouted as he jumps into his hoverbike.

Everyone didn't hesitate and follow towards his direction.

And then…

BOOM!!!
