Chapter 700 Extra: All Out Attack
However, its electrocution powers were no longer as strong as the initial blast, so it only slowed the new monkey demons down as they tried to shake off the paralysis.
Still, this had provided sufficient time for Su Zhen and Lian to attack them with their cultivation techniques. A Great White Snake emerged from the nearby bushes and coiled around the monkey demons. It threw them into the air while Lian jumped up and sliced them into pieces.
The only one not doing so well was Rong. He was stuck in the confined space after the cage of holy light swords blocked the monkey demon paths. It was only through a stroke of luck that he found out that the swords could be pulled out.
However, the monkey demon was smart enough to try and copy Rong\'s action except it did not know that those swords were tremendously effective against dark attributes… which was exactly what these kinds of demons consisted of.
With just one grab, the holy light sword instinctively released its powers, causing all the other spiritual swords to soar out of the ground and thrust into the body of the monkey demon.
As for the caster who had performed that spell, she was ironically entrapped by the grab of the giant bone hand. However, that presented little to no trouble at all, as the giant bone hand merely acted as a cage and nothing more. It was not squeezing the life out of her, nor was it draining any of mana away. It also appeared as if the other demons ignored her for the time being.
Thus, Milk decided to use this opportunity to watch how the demon exorcists handled this particular situation.
"All of them are sentient in nature and have the ability to understand." Su Zhen shared her analysis with the group, suggesting that holding back their attacks might present more of a trouble for them than going all out.
"No shit, sherlock!" Rong replied as he was finally able to perform a proper swing against a Bone infused Monkey demon and smashed it into pieces. The inability to do so previously had frustrated him enough to show them no mercy.
Capture them? No way. It\'s an all-out massacre.
"Do you think that means there are other monkey demons watching us fight as well?" Lein made an astute observation when he vaguely noticed gazes from afar.
"This does not bode well for us. We might clear the first wave, but the subsequent wave will learn how to break us if we don\'t work together as a team to cover each other\'s bases." Su Zhen answered as she stood on the Great White Snake and commanded it to spew out a sputum afar.
The spit once broken would release a fair amount of toxic gas. Su Zhen did not intend for it to kill the monkey demons, although she wouldn\'t mind if it did. Rather she was using it as a smokescreen so that they would not be able to spectate their fights.
Even with the introduction of the poisonous gas, Su Zhen could see from the top of her snake that the monkey demons had a way of preventing the inhalation of the gas.
The infused bone armour slowly turned into a mask shape, preventing the monkey demon from breathing in the lethal vapours. Su Zhen had never even heard of demons adapting that quickly to a new situation. It went to show that they must have learned a lot from fighting against the border guards.
"Well, if what Su Zhen says is really true, thank goodness I am not in any fights for now." Milk was secretly craving a bag of potato chips as she peered down from the top, but then she started to notice that there were streaks of mini bones coming out the bony palm and fingers that had captured her. While she did not know what they would do, it was plainly obvious that they spelt terrible news.
Thus, with a slight movement of her palm, the entire bone hand started to vibrate before it shattered into pieces. But that was not the end, as Milk had already imbued the entirety of the bone hand with holy magic.
So, with a mighty swipe of her hand, the fragments of the giant bone hand dispersed into the crowd and rained down like some torrential rain. Instinctively, the demon exorcists used their chi to cover themselves from the attack. (Though Rong and Lian were complaining loudly that Milk should have given a warning of some sort.)
That attack with such a wide area of effect had weakened the crowd of monkey demons significantly, prompting Lein to fire multiple bursts of lightning, starting from the ones afar. Rong and Lein went on an angry rampage to clear the nearby targets, dropping each and every monkey demon they could see while Su Zhen finished what Lein had started to ensure there were no survivors to spread the news.
It was definitely an all-out kill with containment measures in place. But with this, the sneaky System was able to collect a variety of monkey demons as specimen samples and most importantly as minions.
However, unlike the usual minions, the System noticed that a number of them were not producing the same kind of survival output as demonstrated in the forest. It was as if the bone spirits suddenly let go of the monkey it was fused with. Thus they were not as strong as the ones the demon exorcists had struggled.
It prompted the System to determine that there might be external forces at work manipulating the monkeys, rather than it being a naturally occurring mutation among a monster horde. And if this was true, this practically confirmed that it wasn\'t a natural disaster but a major act of terrorism.
The System deduced that it was even possible that it could be counted as a potential new form of foreign invasion.
