Chapter 220 The Diamond Quest (Part 3)

There were nervous faces all around, including that of Begal himself. There wasn't much they could do now, if they wanted to escape, then they would have to try and take one of the vehicles. If that happened would they be chased down by the demons?

The army was staying there because they knew it was their best chance for survival, as for Zain, well, he decided that he still had a quest to complete in the end.

'If it comes to it, I'll have no choice but to summon the others, but in a situation like this, I already have the support of the army, so things should be okay.' Zain thought.

'We can't leave without those supplies, and that thing looked dangerous, the military might even need our help to take it out.' Wendy thought.

At the same time, there was Mr X, along with Sid who were whispering away at each other.

"Now we're in this situation we can't just really leave, the army will think of us as deserters." Sid commented.

"I know." Mr X replied. "Of all the things we could come to face with, it had to be demons and three of them as well. Honestly, I'm not sure this was worth the risk and if we knew demons were going to be here we would have brought more with us."

"Are demons really that strong?" Pink asked.

A few sharp screams were heard at that moment, ones that didn't exactly sound human coming from the tent. The sun had completely set and it was now night time.

The strange screech mixed with a growl stopped, and ripping through the outer tent were the same tentacles that they had seen from inside.

"Everyone, launchers... fire now!" Begal ordered.

Rather than grenades they were using launchers instead for fear that the grenades could be hit back. Unlike with the launchers that blew up on impact. The demons seeing this strangely brought their tentacles together and they started to intertwine.

Soon it looked like a giant ball of demon flesh was in front of them. The rockets blew up creating a large amount of smoke, but next came a raining fire of bullets.

'I've seen this routine before... it won't work.' Zain thought.

'If they had a tank, or maybe some other weapons to use, then maybe we can expect a different result. Looking at things as well, it looks like they're learning how to deal with the more troublesome weapons as well.'

The smoke disappeared but the bullets didn't stop, and just as Zain had predicted the demons were fine. Unlike before, their limbs weren't damaged, and they began to untangle them, revealing the main bodies of the three of them.

The bullets were hitting their bodies, and it looked to sting a little, but they weren't getting damaged at all. Seeing this, Zain knew he needed to do something.

"General, I'm going to make a move, we won't win the fight this way, and they're just going to figure out how to get through the rain of bullets like they did before." Zain ordered. "Just keep two of them busy, and I'll take care of the one in the centre."

Before the general could disagree or agree, they could see Zain running off ahead.

"Soldiers avoid the middle one, continue to fire on the two at the sides. If you think you're going to hit our friend then don't fire. Make sure you don't get in his way and support him!" Begal ordered and the soldiers understood, immediately complying.

Although Zain was strong and his endurance was high, unlike the demons, if he was hit in the head by a few bullets he would be down for the count.

The demon in the centre saw Zain, and there was no smile on its face like before, but there was one on Zain's. The tentacles came out right toward him and just like before Zain hit it with his Titan sword, knocking it up in the air.

Another tentacle tried to get him from below, but with a  jump and a spin he managed to cut the bottom one slightly. A third tentacle was ready to hit him, but Zain pushed off, jumping to the side and avoiding the third, and the tentacle smashed on the ground lifting up part of the concrete rocks.

When Zain jumped though, he had gotten in the way of the soldiers bullets, and now the demon next to the one he was attacking was free to attack. Since Zain was closer, the demon seemed to charge in, but when it moved from its position a rocket launcher came out hitting the demon on its side, it managed to stop its advance for a few seconds but it would take a while before another would come and help him.

Three tentacles at once, intertwining each other came straight for Zain and it was at a fast speed. Not being able to dodge this one, he placed both of his weapons in an X shape blocking the attack.

It was heavy as he felt it push him back relatively far.

'Three tentacles, these demons have four on their back, where's the fourth one!'

Before he knew it, another tentacle came from his side and hit him right on the leg. It was a powerful strike crashing through his bones, but Zain felt no pain, and he used his other leg to jump back out of the firing line, allowing for his leg to heal.

While healing though, the two demons seemed to be getting used to the rain of bullets, and were pressing forward. Using their tentacles they lifted them in the air, and all of them went toward Zain in different areas.

"It looks like, your going to need a bit of help!" A voice shouted out.

The tentacles to the left of Zain were hit away, it looked like by some invisible force, but he could see the Zombie Hunter named Wendy standing there.

Meanwhile, a bunch of soldiers dressed in strange suits and helmets came out, hitting the other tentacles on his right side with their bare hands.

Finally, another rocket launcher was fired towards the demon in the centre, giving more time for Zain to heal his leg, but the shot turned out to come from incredibly close to Zain's side.

"It looks like there are a lot of people that want to help you, Zain." Ryan smiled as he stood by his side.
