Luo Jiajun was not arrogant.
It's important to know that his current strength is much greater than the women remembered. Since the battle with the Storm Bear, he has learned a new legendary skill, "Giant Transformation," and obtained a legendary weapon, "Redemption," along with the special ability "Infinite Power" that matches that weapon.
"Alright, that's settled then. I promise I'll be back as soon as possible."
Finally, Luo Jiajun waved his hand and called Rinko, Rosemon, and Dreyer to go out together. Rinko was called because she was needed to destroy the northern portal to advance the mission. Rosemon and Dreyer were called along for a quick trip—after all, they could fly, so one could take Luo Jiajun and the other could take Akiyama Rinko.
And in the north.
At this moment, Archina and her companions were surrounded by orcs.
The two sides didn't even exchange any words. After a brief standoff, the orc leader, clad in iron armor and wielding a moonblade axe, gave orders to his hundred-odd warriors:
"Kill these human women! Then stew them and eat them!"
Then, the orcs roared and charged towards the defensive formation formed by Archina, Zyra, Mai Shiranui, and Zhou Meiling.
"Roar--!"
In an instant, a ferocious battle cry tore through the oppressive silence, and the crimson eyes of the sturdy soldiers gleamed with a bloodthirsty light through the gaps in their helmets. Heavy footsteps trembled the ground.
Facing the surging torrent of steel, Archina's three-meter-tall pale body was like the hardest rock, advancing instead of retreating, taking a step forward to shield Zyra, Mai Shiranui, and Zhou Meiling behind her! Her wide skirt billowed in the strong wind, and her five fingers instantly swelled and stretched, transforming into five long, narrow, jet-black claws that gleamed with a cold metallic light!
"Whoosh! Splat—!"
The two heavily armored orc warriors charging at the forefront hadn't even fully raised their heavy battle axes before Achina's lightning-fast, jet-black claws swept across their chests! The thick metal breastplates were torn apart like paper, accompanied by the crisp sound of bones breaking and the muffled thud of internal organs rupturing. The two orc warriors were sent flying like ripped sacks, their scalding, foul blood splattering onto the cold ground and their companions' armor, emitting a strong, pungent stench.
At the same time, Mai Shiranui moved, like a nimble fire fox, cutting into the gaps in the orc formation from the flank under the cover of Archina's tall figure. Her folding fan unfurled with a "whoosh," and blazing flames instantly erupted from the edges of the fan ribs!
"Drink!" the female ninja shouted, her folding fan sweeping across with a trail of fire, precisely passing through the gaps between the helmets and neck armor of the two orc warriors. The high-temperature flames instantly scorched their fur and flesh, sizzling and crackling, accompanied by the orcs' painful screams. The impact of the flames sent the two iron-clad warriors staggering backward, tearing a small gap in their dense formation.
Compared to Achina, who was at the forefront, and Mai Shiranui, who was roaming and attacking, Zyra and Zhou Meiling were as stable as turrets, standing still in place.
Zyra's fiery red hair moved without wind, and she was surrounded by a rich, green natural energy. She pressed her hands to the ground, chanting ancient and obscure incantations. With her movement, the surrounding earth trembled violently!
"Puff puff!"
Thick, dark green thorny vines, as thick as a bowl and covered with menacing barbs, burst forth from the ground beneath the orc warriors like giant pythons breaking through the earth!
These vines possessed immense strength; some coiled tightly around the orc warriors' legs or waists like pythons, no matter how much they roared and struggled, or how they chopped with axes, the tenacious vines were difficult to sever, firmly pinning them to the spot. Others were even more ferocious, piercing directly into the relatively weak joints of the orc warriors' armor, the barbed vines twisting inward like living creatures, eliciting bursts of shrill screams! Zyra's nature magic instantly created a death zone of thorns, effectively slowing down and dividing the orcs' charging formation.
Zhou Meiling calmly held her Frost Impact Gun, moving the muzzle steadily. Her gaze was sharp, specifically targeting the orc warriors who were temporarily immobilized by the vines or trying to bypass the entanglement in front and pounce from the flanks.
"Puff! Puff!"
Frostbolts, radiating a chilling aura, were fired with pinpoint accuracy. The orc warriors struck instantly had thick frost condense on their armor, their movements visibly stiffening and slowing, as if frozen in place. While not immediately fatal, they significantly reduced their threat, relieving pressure on Archina and Mai Shiranui, and preventing the orcs from rapidly breaching Zyra's "turret."
The four women worked in perfect harmony. Archina, like an unbreakable shield and a ferocious spear, used her powerful physique and claws to withstand the onslaught; Mai Shiranui, nimble and agile, used her fiery fan to harass and attack, targeting vital points and openings; Zyra's natural magic powerfully controlled the battlefield, creating obstacles and inflicting damage; Zhou Meiling's precise freezing shots filled in any gaps, freezing the threats. For a time, despite the orcs' superior numbers and armor, they were held back by their tight coordination, unable to break through the defenses. Instead, they suffered continuous losses due to the entanglement of thorns, the burning flames, and the slowing effects of the freezing. The ground was soon covered with orc corpses and writhing wounded, their blood soaking the soil.
However, this brief balance was instantly shattered when the two orc commanders who had been watching coldly from the sidelines made their move!
"Useless trash!" The orc chieftain, wielding a massive moonblade axe, roared deafeningly. His heavy boots slammed forward, seemingly sinking the ground beneath them. His imposing figure, covered in beast-headed shoulder armor, moved like a mountain, exuding a suffocating oppressive aura. His crimson eyes were fixed on Achina, who was wrestling like a meat grinder among the beasts!
"Get out of the way!" the chief roared, swinging his massive, door-sized moon-blade axe, utterly disregarding the few of his own men blocking his path! The heavy axe blade swept across with a piercing whistle, tearing through the air! The enormous figure, radiating a ferocious aura, crashed into Archina like a runaway heavy chariot! He swung his moon-blade axe high, bringing it down on Archina with the force to split mountains and shatter rocks!
Achina's crimson pupils suddenly contracted! She felt an unprecedented threat! This orc chieftain was far superior to ordinary orc warriors in terms of strength, speed, and combat skills! She dared not take this earth-shattering axe blow head-on. Her massive body displayed amazing flexibility, and with a swift sidestep, she narrowly avoided the frontal edge of the axe blade.
"boom!!!"
The giant moon-bladed axe slammed down on the ground! The hard road surface was cleaved open like tofu, leaving a deep crack several meters long, with gravel and dirt flying everywhere!
The orc chieftain, his attack missing its mark, didn't hesitate. As if he had anticipated this, he used the momentum of his massive battle axe to flick his wrist, the heavy blade tracing a strange arc as it slashed upwards towards Archina's ribs! This sudden change of attack was lightning fast, cunning, and ruthless!
Archina had barely dodged the slash when her old strength was exhausted and no new strength had been generated! She only had time to cross her dark claws in front of her to block!
"Qiang——!!!"
The ear-piercing clang of metal clashing echoed across the battlefield! Sparks flew everywhere! A tremendous force came from the axe blade, and Archina felt her arms tremble violently, as if she had been struck by a battering ram! Her tall, heavy body was even shaken back two steps by the force!
A cruel sneer flashed in the orc chieftain's eyes. He pressed forward relentlessly, his heavy boots pounding the ground, and his moonblade axe swung again, unleashing a barrage of heavy attacks on Archina like a storm! Each strike was powerful and precise, forcing Archina to constantly parry and dodge, completely on the defensive. Her indestructible claws clashed head-on with the massive axe, producing a series of teeth-grinding scraping sounds and deafening booms. Faced with this pure power and masterful combat skill, Archina's prized close-quarters fighting was completely suppressed!
Just as Achina desperately parried the slanting axe blade, her body momentarily stiffening, the orc chieftain's eyes flashed with a sharp light! Seizing this fleeting opportunity, his massive body suddenly lunged forward and spun around. With astonishing skill, he wielded the heavy moonblade axe, the blade not slashing straight down, but rather, like a viper striking, it thrust out at an extremely strange and tricky angle, just below Achina's parrying arm, with lightning speed!
"Tsk-!"
The sharp, cold axe blade instantly tore through Archina's white silk dress at the waist, slicing a gruesome gash into her pale skin! The gash was deep enough to expose bone! A large spurt of dark red blood gushed out!
"Ugh!" Archina groaned, the immense pain causing her body to tremble violently, her face instantly turning even paler. Instinctively, she clutched her horrific wound with her other hand, her massive body staggering back several steps, attempting to create distance.
However, what appeared in the orc chieftain's crimson eyes for the first time was a sight of utter astonishment: the blood gushing from the horrific wound that had nearly ripped Achina open was visibly decreasing! The muscles and skin around the wound were writhing, frantically repairing and regenerating themselves! Although the speed wasn't extremely fast, this terrifying regenerative ability clearly exceeded his understanding of "humans"!
Just as Archina was in danger, another orc lieutenant wielding a hammer also made his move! His target was Mai Shiranui, who had become even more active after Archina had diverted a lot of firepower!
This orc lieutenant was also tall and incredibly strong. His blacksmith's hammer swung with tremendous force, creating a chilling whistling sound as it sliced through the air! He lacked the orc chieftain's refined combat skills, but his superior strength and sheer power made him a force to be reckoned with!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The heavy hammer slammed down, each blow shaking the ground and sending shards of stone flying! Mai Shiranui moved with agility, weaving through the hammer's shadow like a butterfly flitting among flowers. Her fiery fan either parried or deflected the force, always managing to narrowly avoid the fatal blunt strikes. Her speed far surpassed her opponent's, and the flames scorched the armor, leaving charred marks.
However, the orc lieutenant's goal was not to kill her immediately, but to keep her pinned down! His massive body was like a moving city wall, blocking Mai Shiranui's movement path. The heavy hammer blows forced her to dodge constantly, making it impossible for her to support other positions as freely as before, let alone help Zyra and Zhou Meiling, who were under increasing pressure at the moment!
With Achina heavily injured and entangled by the orc chieftain, and Mai Shiranui being held back by the orc lieutenant, the orc warriors, who had been suppressed by thorny vines and frost bullets, immediately felt the pressure lessen!
"Roar! Tear those spellcasters and those human women wielding guns to shreds!" roared a small orc leader.
More orc warriors began to desperately break through the blockade! They wielded their battle axes fearlessly, hacking at the blocking vines, or braving the stiffness caused by Zhou Meiling's frostbite bullets, howling as they swarmed from both sides towards Zyra and Zhou Meiling, who were standing at the rear and lacked close-range protection!
"Watch out!" Zhou Meiling's expression changed, and she fired her Frost Impact Gun rapidly, attempting to freeze the charging orcs. However, there were too many enemies rushing in, and her freezing effect couldn't cover all targets instantly! One was frozen, and another immediately stepped over their companion and charged forward!
Zyra also felt immense pressure. She needed to focus on controlling the vines, leaving her defenses weak. Facing the heavily armored orcs charging like wolves, she could only continuously summon new vines to sprout from the ground in front of her, attempting to block them. But the vines were growing too fast to keep up with the orcs' momentum!
"Archina!" Zyra cried out urgently, her voice tinged with rare tension. The situation had taken a sharp turn for the worse! They were surrounded, and their two vulnerable ranged positions were about to be exposed to the orcs' axes!
The excruciating abdominal pain persisted, and blood stained her hands, pressed against the wound, and the hem of her skirt. Archina saw the perilous situation of Jera and Zhou Meiling, and a resolute glint flashed in her crimson eyes!
Can't keep it any longer!
Facing the orc chieftain's renewed ferocious charge, Archina let out a piercing, inhuman scream! Her body began to swell and contort violently! Her white silk dress was torn apart! Grotesque bone spurs and grayish-white scales bulged beneath her skin! Her spine stretched and deformed, and enormous fleshy wings pierced through the flesh of her back! From her tailbone, a massive tail, as thick as a tree root and covered in bone spurs, burst forth from the flesh!
"Roar--!!!"
In just a few breaths, the pale, noble female giant vanished! In her place stood a dragon-like monster hovering in mid-air, with an astonishing wingspan, its body covered in grayish-white bone spurs and scales, its form grotesque and hideous, radiating a terrifying aura! It was Archina's ultimate battle form!
The thick fog was dispersed by the gale whipped up by the giant wings! The dragon-shaped Archina's crimson vertical pupils, burning with hatred and rage, were fixed on the orc chieftain below who had severely wounded her! She opened her ferocious maw, filled with sharp teeth, and a deafening roar echoed throughout the battlefield! A devastating dive attack was brewing!
However, just as this ferocious dragon-shaped monster was about to unleash a thunderous attack—
"Boom!!!"
A deep rumble of thunder echoed in the sky! A massive black shadow, accompanied by a gale that tore through the thick fog and powerful energy fluctuations, descended from the sky at an astonishing speed!
The figure, carrying unparalleled momentum, crashed heavily into the center of the battlefield, landing precisely below the dragon-shaped Archina who was about to launch an attack, and also blocking the path between Zyra, Zhou Meiling, and the surging orc horde!
The earth trembled! The dust and shockwaves that were stirred up sent several of the nearest orc warriors flying!
Amidst the dust, a tall figure slowly straightened up.
It was none other than Luo Jiajun!
Added URL 127
The earth trembled violently, and smoke and mist billowed into the sky. The shockwave sent several orc warriors flying, their horses and bodies thrown to the ground.
As the dust settled, Luo Jiajun's tall figure slowly straightened up.
His sudden arrival, with its unparalleled aura, brought a momentary deathly silence to the entire battlefield. Whether it was the berserk orcs, the enraged Archina after her transformation, or even the anxious Zyra and Zhou Meiling, their movements froze for a split second.
Luo Jiajun's gaze was sharp as lightning, quickly sweeping across the entire area. He immediately spotted the orc chieftain in front of him, wielding a huge moon-blade axe and covered in heavy armor, and another powerful orc on the other side, who was locked in combat with Mai Shiranui, wielding a heavy iron hammer.
【High-Value Target - Miros: Steel Wind (Purple)】
【High-Value Goal – Baliaz: The Steel Wind (Purple)】
'Turns out they're just two punks.'
Upon seeing that these two bosses were only purple-named epic-level, Luo Jiajun's gaze became even more disdainful.
Not to mention that there were many other teammates present besides himself. Even if we take them individually, the legendary bosses whose names weren't in gold font posed absolutely no threat to him.
Then, Luo Jiajun took a few steps to the side of the ferocious dragon-shaped monster that was hovering low in the air.
Despite its terrifying form, he could still sense Achina's unique aura, so he reached out and, without hesitation, stroked the rough, cold, grayish-white tentacles on the dragon's body, his voice low and steady:
"Sorry, I don't think I'm too late, am I?"
The dragon-shaped Archina let out a hoarse moan, a mixture of pain and disbelief:
"Hmm... I can hardly believe it... But, darling, you've come at just the right time."
Meanwhile, on the other side, Mai Shiranui, who was still trembling with Baliaz Steel Wind, seized the opportunity. With a nimble somersault, she lightly touched the iron hammer that Baliaz was throwing at her with her toes, and used the momentum to leap backward. She landed lightly next to Luo Jiajun and Achina, and stood firmly.
Jiela and Zhou Meiling immediately seized the brief moment when the orcs were stunned, quickly broke away from them, and came to stand behind Luo Jiajun, where they all gathered together.
The orcs recovered from their initial shock. Although they temporarily stopped attacking, they maintained a tight encirclement formation. Pairs of bloodthirsty red eyes stared intently at the uninvited guests through the gaps in their helmets, especially at Luo Jiajun, who had just arrived.
Milos Steelwind, wielding a crescent-bladed axe, stepped forward, his heavy boots thumping the ground. His towering frame, covered in beast-head shoulder armor, exuded an overwhelming aura of power. His crimson eyes scrutinized Luo Jiajun intently, his hoarse, deep voice carrying a metallic quality:
"So... who are you to talk to me?"
Luo Jiajun's lips curled into a cold smile as he met Luo's gaze without fear: "Does that matter? Right now, I just want to kill all of you orcs, or be killed by you, that's all."
After saying that, Luo Jiajun raised his hand and snapped his fingers crisply.
Whoosh whoosh!
Three figures immediately descended from the sky, landing beside Luo Jiajun. They were Akiyama Rinko, Rosemon, and Dreyer.
As Rosemon landed, her gaze met Zyra's for a fleeting moment. Being both plant-type beings, they felt a subtle, natural connection, but with a formidable enemy at hand, it was not the time for them to communicate.
Milos was thoroughly enraged by Luo Jiajun's arrogant words. He roared and slammed the massive moon-blade axe he was carrying on his shoulder onto the ground with a muffled "boom," causing the ground to tremble slightly.
"Humans, do you think you can defeat so many warriors of the Steelwind Clan with your small numbers?!"
In response, Luo Jiajun raised his arm without hesitation, and in his hand was a simple-looking yet dangerous silver-gray revolver—"Redemption".
The trigger was pulled.
"Buzz—Bang!"
A condensed beam of azure energy instantly tore through the air and headed straight for Milos's face!
Milos lacked knowledge of "firearms," but his fighting instincts made him feel a deadly threat. In the nick of time, he suddenly raised the door-sized crescent-bladed axe, barely managing to block it with its broad blade!
The scorching energy beam slammed into the axe blade, producing a piercing sizzling sound. The immense impact caused Milos's massive body to sway slightly, and he was horrified to discover that at the point where the axe blade made contact with the energy blast, the metal was turning crimson red, softening, and even beginning to melt and deform slightly at a visible speed!
"Damn it!" With his weapon damaged, Miros completely lost his patience and roared, "Kill! Warriors of the Steelwind Clan! Tear these humans to shreds!"
The battle erupted once again!
The orcs howled and swarmed in from all directions.
Luo Jiajun's eyes were icy, his arm as steady as a rock, as the "Redemption" gun continuously spewed out deadly blue flames. Each energy projectile fired contained astonishing destructive power, easily penetrating heavy armor, and often dissipating only after piercing through the bodies of two or three orcs in succession.
The orcs who were hit instantly developed charred holes in their bodies and collapsed to the ground without even uttering a sound.
Meanwhile, Luo Jiajun's concubines were also displaying their unique talents.
First, Akiyama Rinko moved like lightning, drawing her long sword, a flash of cold light passing by:
"Vacuum Slash!"
With a low shout from the demon ninja, an invisible, sharp wave tore through space, sweeping forward in a fan shape! In an instant, more than a dozen charging orc warriors froze, their upper and lower bodies twisted in a bizarre manner, blood and internal organs gushing out, and they all fell to the ground dead.
The Rose Beast spread her arms, and the emerald vines wrapped around her hands instantly hardened and extended, transforming into sharp rapiers. Her target was clear: Milos, who wielded the damaged Moonblade Axe. The vine rapiers pierced out like a whirlwind, so fast they left only afterimages, precisely striking Milos's heavy armor joints and helmet seams.
Milos roared repeatedly, wielding his nearly broken axe to barely parry, but was forced to retreat repeatedly by the relentless thrusts, and for a time could only defend himself.
Delaire gracefully ascended into the air, his body surging with magic. He waved his hands rapidly, unleashing a barrage of dark purple magic bullets that rained down on the orcish horde below. Explosions rang out in succession, each one sending several orcs flying and effectively disrupting their formation.
At that moment, Mai Shiranui let out a sharp cry, her body engulfed in blazing flames, and once again confronted her old rival, Bariaz.
"Super Killing Ninja Bee!"
The female ninja's figure transformed into a fiery meteor, charging fiercely towards the orc lieutenant wielding a blacksmith's hammer. Bariaz roared and swung his hammer to meet the attack, but was knocked back by the violent impact of the flames, his armor charred black.
Achina, transformed into a dragon-like monster, let out a cathartic roar. Her massive, fleshy wings flapped, creating terrifying wind pressure as she swooped into the densest part of the orc horde. Her claws swept across, her tail hammer slammed down, each attack tearing any orc unable to dodge, armor and all, to shreds or smashing them into a bloody pulp.
Zyra's thorny vines grew wildly again, entwining and piercing, complementing Zhou Meiling's frost shots, constantly limiting and reducing the number of orcs.
Despite the large number of orc warriors and their fearlessness, they were like harvested straw, their numbers rapidly dwindling in the face of Luo Jiajun's team, whose members were all "boss-level" fighters and worked together seamlessly.
The advantage on the battlefield is visibly tilting towards Luo Jiajun's side. Lin Youmei is too busy, Lin Zaizai is too...
Seeing his people fall in droves while battling the Rose Beast, Miros was frantic and his movements involuntarily faltered. The Rose Beast seized the opportunity, and several strong vines, like venomous snakes emerging from their holes, instantly wrapped around Miros's arms and ankles, tightening their grip!
"Ugh!" Milos struggled, the heavy armor rubbing against the vines making a teeth-grinding sound.
