[BL] Daily Disposable Persona

39: The King of Clouds 08

Zong Yan, who'd just been designated as an "ant", felt like he was possessed by Ultraman.

He was engaged in a fight to the death against the Lord of Tindalos. With every impact he saw ink-blue liquid scatter in mid-air. The Hounds continually tried to bore through the clouds summoned by Yun Zhong Jun, but they couldn't pierce the god's blockade. They could only thrash wildly in the air like millions of charged particles.

The Tindalos Hounds that reached the ground were far worse. In just a few minutes they killed or injured hundreds of investigators.

Those investigators, regardless of rank, were killed in one blow. Their throats were torn open, exposing the scarlet flesh and tissue inside.

Xu Fu took out the fly-whisk he hadn't used in ages. With a flick of his brush, thousands of white whiskers stretched out to trap the Hounds.

Among the immortal elders residing in MU, Xu Fu had the greatest fighting power. Both Paracelsus and Nicholas Flamel were nonmilitary personnel, so only Xu Fu had joined the battlefield.

But he was a Daoist, and Daoists specialized in hunting ghosts, not fighting alien creatures.

Among all the combat forces, the Dragon Group suffered the heaviest casualties.

According to the plan of battle, Dragon Group members were originally distributed throughout Jiangzhou and stood by in every district. Dragon Group members were also the first to respond to the order to head to Dujiakou.

Because of the early warning, five of the ten Dragon Group teams had returned to China.

"Ahhhhhhh—" An investigator screamed in pain as he was gnawed by a Hound.

"Li Wu!"

He Yuan nearly opened his eyes. Instead he punched the ground with his fist, and his joints creaked from the strain.

He was the adjutant of Team 7. The captain, Si Yan, was on standby in a helicopter, so He Yuan was the acting captain during the battle.

He Yuan hadn't been stationed that far from Dujiakou. When the anomaly first arrived, many members of Team 7 were unfortunate enough to see it. He Yuan himself almost died.

"Don't look—don't..."

The investigator named Li Wu cried out in pain. Blood mingled with sweat and splattered on the ground, but a moment later there was only silence.

He Yuan was accompanied by almost every member of Team 7. They closed their eyes tightly, huddling on the ground, trembling with apprehension.

Their eyes were shut, depriving them of sight. Everyone knew how terrible the Tindalos Hounds were, and in darkness their fear was infinitely magnified.

As for those who'd seen the Hounds, the long wait was like anticipating their own execution.

No one wanted to die. No one wanted to die without a fight.

"Go... Get the hell out!"

One of the investigators who'd witnessed the Hounds' arrival suddenly stood up. His veins bunched in his arms as he aimed an alchemical weapon at a Tindalos Hound, opening fire and spraying golden-red tongues of flame at the enemy.

Ordinary physical attacks weren't of any use against these creatures. They even shrugged off alchemical weapons that normally worked against otherworldly creatures.

The Hound that had just bitten Li Wu and trampled his corpse exposed its maw to the alchemical flame, revealing its ferocious and terrible fangs to the investigator, as if it were teasing its prey.
