53: Valkyrie, enchanting!

In mid-August 2017, deep within the Amazon rainforest in South America, the largest battle between humans and monsters in history erupted.

Although the Dojo of Limits and Thunder Martial Hall had anticipated the possibility of new King-level Monsters joining the battle in the rainforest from the very beginning of the war, when these King-level Monsters appeared together, everyone’s hearts sank, and a pall of gloom gradually enveloped them.

This included Hong and Thunder God, the peak existences among human martial artists.

It was known that, according to previous understanding, it was absolutely impossible for other King-level Monsters to coexist, except for King-level Monsters of the same species.

Of course, all of this was merely accumulated human experience and speculation, without sufficient supporting evidence.

But all these theories and conjectures were completely shattered today.

Of the twelve King-level Monsters, most were of different species—snakes, monitor lizards, elephants, ants... Among them, the most terrifying was the King-level Monster, the Marching Devil Ant, which was dozens of stories high.

This terrifying devil ant, shaped like a small mountain, crawled rapidly, its giant mandibles gleaming with bone-chilling cold light in the dim jungle.

Just one glance could cause a God of War martial artist's mind to tremble and lose their combat effectiveness.

The terror of King-level Monsters lay not only in their exceptionally powerful strength and superior intelligence.

Crushing opponents with their aura was also one of the King-level Monsters' common tactics.

With a gentle snap, ancient towering trees, several people thick, broke with a clear cut.

The tropical rainforest was originally a paradise for reptilian monsters, especially after the rr virus epidemic, where all surviving species were terrifying monsters that had mutated and strengthened.

The twelve King-level Monsters went berserk from the start, attacking Hong, Thunder God, and two other Planetary-level martial artists simultaneously.

The great battle erupted instantly and immediately entered a white-hot state.

With the entry of the twelve King-level Monsters, all monsters became even more frenzied and excited, and their offensive posture became incredibly wild.

Around this rainforest, rustling crawling sounds began to echo.

The sound spread extremely quickly, and soon, such sounds came from all directions.

They rose and fell, continuous and unending.

These sounds were like a curse, lingering eerily in the hearts of all martial artists.

It felt to everyone present as if these beast hordes had endless reinforcements.

Things are not looking good!

Seeing this situation, the twelve God of War team leaders of the third echelon felt something was amiss.

They seemed to be gradually encircled by a forming monster encirclement.

The mere thought of such a possibility, even for God of War martial artists as resolute as them, made them momentarily lose their composure.

Even if this was only a possibility!

But if this possibility became reality, it would be a catastrophic disaster for the entire human battle formation.

Except for Planetary-level martial artists who could fly to safety, all other martial artists would be surrounded, overwhelmed, and devoured by the endless beast horde... As for them, these Gods of War and War Generals... complete annihilation was likely their fate.

Since the rr virus epidemic, in large-scale wars between humans and monsters, such examples were countless, leaving incredibly painful lessons.

Whether it was some island nations or small countries in Southeast Asia, attempting to resist the terrifying mutated beast hordes with the strength of a single nation.

Without exception, they were all surrounded by nearly infinite beast hordes.

Under the relentless erosion, the entire country quickly perished under the beast horde, with no one surviving.

Even those who managed to escape by warplane became homeless wanderers, leaving indelible psychological scars... Currently, the combined forces of the Dojo of Limits and Thunder Martial Hall were facing such a predicament.

“Ice Mountain, Wild Beast, Zhu Xi, your three small teams combine into one, centered on the current position, extend 1,500 meters to the left flank, expand and stabilize the battleground, leaving enough space for subsequent heavy weapons to enter.”

“Sokolov, Faer, and Mo Handerson, your three small teams will likewise emulate Ice Mountain and Wild Beast, extending 1,500 meters to the right flank, stabilizing the position.”

“Received!”

“Understood!”

“Mission accomplished!”

“...”

A tall Valkyrie in a black, tight-fitting battle suit and a golden mask issued commands in an orderly manner.

As she gave orders, with a flick of her hand, a sharp blade instantly cut a venomous ant monster that had shot from the side into two pieces, which fell to the ground with a thud.

Subsequently, the Valkyrie flicked her wrist, and a bloody stream of light shot out from her hand, piercing the head of a High-level Beast General Marching Ant a hundred meters away.

Swish!!

After a single rotation, the deadly flying knife, which had harvested several High-level Beast Generals, returned to the Valkyrie's hand.

Her delicate hand gripped the blade, its sharp edge fully revealed!

Her gaze quickly swept across the surrounding battlefield, and in her deep, black crystal-like eyes, an unprecedented murderous glint burst forth.

As one of Hong's three personal guards, Yao Rao was known throughout the Dojo of Limits as the "Ice Demoness."

Similarly, Yao Rao, who had broken through to become a God of War martial artist in the very first year of the Great Nirvana, became the Dojo of Limits' first Valkyrie at the age of twenty-one with her initial God of War strength.

Furthermore, in this great battle to attack the No. 9 Ancient Civilization Ruins, Yao Rao was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by Hong.

As the overall commander of the third echelon and even the entire combined forces, Yao Rao had special privileges granted by Hong and Thunder God—to mobilize all combat power of the Dojo of Limits and Thunder Martial Hall.

Even the authority to request assistance from the Five Great Powers, the HR Alliance, and the Mercenary Alliance was granted in advance by the two powerhouses.

This was all to deal with the most critical situations!

With a formidable enemy at hand, the two martial halls naturally cast aside all estrangements and disputes, dedicating themselves wholeheartedly to the fight against the monsters.

All past disputes and frictions vanished in the face of the great enemy.

After all, in the eyes of Hong and Thunder God, the continuation of human civilization surpassed everything!

After Yao Rao gave her orders, the two rapidly reorganized small teams erupted with powerful combat strength.

Led by six Gods of War, they seized the opportunity to break through, penetrating as deep as possible into the beast horde to establish a wider position.

Although this incurred many casualties among the War Generals, the momentum of the charge did not weaken in the slightest.

Taking in the surrounding battlefield, Yao Rao, with her long hair slightly swaying, exuded an undeniable heroic spirit.

Then, a faint, deep glow flashed in Yao Rao's eyes beneath her golden mask, and she calmly issued her command, word by word:

“Except for God of War Yang Hui’s team, which will cover the entry of subsequent heavy weapons and provide rearguard, the other five small teams will charge with me to open a path to the second echelon and maintain it at all costs.”

After speaking, Yao Rao paused, a faint glow flickering in her frosty eyes, as if she was contemplating something...

A moment later, Yao Rao continued to order:

“Transmit my order to the headquarters of Dojo of Limits and Thunder Martial Hall, commanding them to gather entry-level War General-level martial artists as quickly as possible and send them here for reinforcement.”

“Additionally, intelligence officers are to maintain smooth communication with the Five Great Powers, the HR Alliance, and the Mercenary Alliance, perhaps... we will have need of their assistance.”

“...”
