Volume 12: Cafe Heroes Chapter 34: War (Part 2)
"Dear audience friends, I am a reporter on the scene, and I am now broadcasting the terrorist attack on the Kongchan store live for you!"
Sitting in the helicopter, the reporter nervously introduced the business to the microphone and the cameras flying around him . Looking at the small shop below with thick smoke billowing out, his voice couldn't stop trembling:
"Please look, this is the attacked Kuchan shop. It used to be a place of spiritual comfort for many office workers, and it was once on the list of shops with the best atmosphere. I also liked to have a drink here after get off work, until I changed my job and became a reporter. But now a criminal case comparable to the terrorist attack five years ago is happening here!"
"A fight between a group of players in this small store has resulted in the deaths of more than a dozen residents! We can't help but wonder if it's really okay to continue to let the players do what they want?! We haven't had such a tragic accident for hundreds of years! I think the government and relevant departments should be held responsible for this incident! But compared to those, we are more concerned about the situation on the scene! You may also know clearly that this is the real situation, and we are observing from high altitude how these thugs carry out their terror!"
"Look, they're out—"
However, the moment he saw the figure flying backwards, all the sounds disappeared. The reporter opened his mouth in astonishment, but could not make any sound.
It was as if the sound itself had been taken away, something beyond common sense was operating around it, making the sound no longer exist. The world began to no longer have anything that could transmit sound.
In the silence, the figure that flew out of the smoke and dust fiercely crashed into another building. In the silent area, the huge building was instantly blasted with a crack several meters wide and high. In the countless collapsed bricks and smoke and dust, a huge black palm instantly tore through the smoke and dust and stood up again from the pit.
It was a terrifying-looking monster , with a body several meters tall covered with a colorful, indescribable rainbow shield. Its snake-like head spit out its tongue, silencing all sounds around it. Just looking at its streamlined body, one could tell how terrifyingly powerful it was. The huge monster tore through the dust, stood up from the ruins, and stared closely at the interior of the coffee shop, which was billowing with thick smoke.
In the silence, only that elegant and steady voice echoed in the hearts of the people around along with the fluctuations of their souls.
"Sallys... loves the Great Demon. She really became a human's lackey just as the rumors say."
"Heh, you can be a lackey of the devil, so what if I do it for the adults?"
What's more, you can't defeat me with just an incarnation.
No one was seen, and no changes were detected. It was as if the space was distorted by some invisible will. The entire street suddenly flipped like were divided into layers and suddenly exploded into countless pieces.
'That's not necessarily true!'
The huge monster turned into a shadow at the moment of the attack, and suddenly rushed into the smoke with a howling in its heart.
The sound that had been stilled resumed its flow, and the terrifying explosion and air waves overlapped as if the fast-forward button had been pressed. The sound waves and roars continued to rise, causing the reporters in the sky to almost fall off the plane. It took a lot of effort to return to the original position, but everyone was still looking at the collapsed street below in shock.
That's 50 meters above the ground! Can air waves and sound waves affect such a far place? The reporter gestured to the pilot, who was sweating profusely and immediately understood. He pulled the helicopter up to 100 meters. Seeing that the street below had become a very small part, the reporter wiped his sweat, smiled awkwardly at the camera, and explained professionally:
"It looks like the fighting between the thugs was very intense. I don't know why they seemed to be infighting with each other. This is really a good thing."
"It can be seen that these terrorists are quite powerful. If you have the second stage of magic awakening, you may have seen that their battle in the smoke and dust is extremely fierce, and it can be said to be a fight for life and death. But why did such a situation occur in the city center?"
"Think about it, everyone. In our peaceful world, there would be no such lunatics and fanatics. It must be society that has forced these people to become like this. They should be full of kindness and poetry, but our world has forced them to become such cruel monsters. The cries of these players may be the last roar against government oppression. This is a desire for freedom and justice. I think the government should pay for these attacks-"
"Hmm..."
Before the reporter finished speaking, a pure white light streaked across the sky along with the helicopter and cut a passing airship in half.
Amid the explosion of the airship, the dusty field changed again. Under the burning and falling airship, the beacon of light gradually emitted heat and residual breath. In the cut mist, a figure different from the two voices just now gradually appeared.
"…I told you that your actions were meaningless and reckless. Why didn't you believe me ?"
There is also a considerable gap between players.
Where the light passed, a human figure radiating light threw a tattered figure into the ruins outside like garbage.
It can be seen that it is a player, because his body vaporized and deformed in the blink of an eye, and dissipated into the air. At the moment when the body vaporized, the world suddenly turned black and white, and another figure howled and rushed out from the inside of the smoke, knocking out a gap in the still time, waving a dazzling long sword towards the glowing figure.
The translucent field that filled the surroundings collapsed at the touch of the shining sword like a balloon punctured by a needle. The moment the dazzling blade was about to touch the body, the world began to turn again.
However, the player did not touch the figure even at all. He looked at the empty white ground in astonishment and subconsciously jumped to the side.
But the world in front of him suddenly became chaotic, and then returned to peace. Only something appeared on his chest.
"Time system, I have it too."
The sword pierced through the player who had inexplicably returned to his original position. As he looked in disbelief, light was drawn from his chest, and boundless flames instantly burned his corpse to ashes.
Turning his head to look at the helicopter hovering in the sky, the shadow with white light tilted its head, as if nodding to the frightened pilot and reporter, and then turned back to rush into the smoke and dust. Once again, there was a faint vibration. Then, silence returned again. God knows what happened inside.
