Chapter 1113 - Descend of an Angel
“Oh, Lord…”
Facing Lydia, not only were the soldiers stunned, but the soldiers in the control room observing the situation through the surveillance cameras widened their eyes helplessly. Even though they witnessed the scene through the screens, they felt the formidable, holy energy exuding from Lydia. The title of an archangel wasn’t just soothing to the ears. It felt so sacred and oppressive at the same time that no one dared to speak a word. Some of the soldiers had even knelt on the ground, gazing at the beautiful image with pious eyes and saying their prayers. Looking at this scene, the supervisor shuddered. After returning to his senses, he hurried forward and ordered the soldiers.
“What are all of you doing!? Fire! Fire!”
Even though he didn’t know if the young lady was truly an angel, her emergence in this place wasn’t advantageous for them. At this moment, he just couldn’t believe in religion anymore!
Are you kidding me? If she’s here to destroy my base, do I still have to keep my faith in her? Also, I don’t even know if she’s a real angel. Maybe she’s just a made-up creature from a certain monster and is here to make us lose our will to fight and bewitch us?
“Fire! Fire! That isn’t a real angel! Don’t be tricked by its appearance!”
The supervisor’s scream shook the flustered soldiers to their senses. Some of the soldiers hesitated before laying down their weapons and retreating to the side eventually. The instant they looked at Lydia, they sensed a warm, sacred, and formidable spiritual aura to the extent that they couldn’t resist her consciously. The other group of soldiers did the exact opposite. They were full of doubt against this young lady. Upon hearing the supervisor’s order, they lifted their weapons, aimed at the target, and pulled the trigger.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
A barrage of bullets enough to rip apart humans erupted from their rifles. But in the face of this attack, Lydia merely scanned their weapons curiously and moved her hand to the side swiftly. Shortly after, holy shield flickering in golden brilliance appeared before her, blocking the continuous waves of bullets.
Interesting… Those gadgets can actually shoot metal. They seem like crossbows, but are much stronger and faster. The technology of this world sure is amusing. But…
“Send out fighter aircrafts! Fighter aircrafts!”
The supervisor had gone crazy. Instead of being ashamed into anger, he was on the verge of giving up all hope. As the saying ‘those whom God wishes to destroy, he first makes mad’ went, this perhaps was the part of that madness. Upon hearing the hysterical command from the supervisor, no one dared to dissuade him. In fact, the soldiers were in a similar mood. They shouldn’t have made the wrong decision from the start. But at this point in time, there was no turning back.
“———!”
The gates opened with fighter aircrafts taking off into formation and flickering in metallic brilliance, flying straight at the young lady in the distance. Shortly after, they locked onto their target and blasted several guided missiles at her.
Even though the missiles came in strong, Lydia disregarded them entirely. It could also be said that she wasn’t mindful of the ‘cylindrical, metallic object flying in the air’ as she curiously twirled her hair and looked at them drifting slowly like in water, which amused her. After all, such an environment didn’t exist in the Dragon Soul Continent.
How interesting. If a banquet were being held here, it would surely be fun.
Boom!
While Lydia had an irrelevant thought in this situation, a fast-moving missile arrived before her and exploded.
The powerful shock waves erupted in flashes, causing the surveillance screen to lose its image due to the massive disruption.
“…”
The screen flickered in black and white. The crowd in the control room held their breath and stared at it. Even though the young lady didn’t react to the missiles and was struck by them defenselessly, they couldn’t let their guard down after witnessing her powerful strength earlier.
“————!”
The disruption lasted for only a few moments. Shortly after, the image appeared on the screen again. Looking at this scene, everyone took in a breath of cold air.
Lydia continued to hover in midair without any change to her expression. The fragments of the missiles were quickly breaking down around her, turning into light dust that vanished into the air. At the same time, Lydia seemed to have realized something. She raised and swung her right hand.
A golden blade ray flashed and faded away quickly. Almost simultaneously, she heard a voice filled with despair.
“Our fighter aircrafts were completely destroyed!”
“…”
The control room was in a dead silence. No one knew what they should do. They froze to the spot, gazing blankly at the holy, beautiful, and incomparably powerful young lady. But at this moment, as though a declaration, a loud explosion boomed. Shortly after, the siren let out ear-piercing blares. Everyone turned around instinctively, only to witness a scene of criss-crossed blazing flames and holy beams on the other screen. At the same time, they heard a frantic voice.
“We’ve been ambushed!”
