Chapter 23, Bucar, Destroyed!
"Kong! You're seriously injured?!"
Tsuru brought Kong back through the window; the earth melted back into the wall, disappearing without a trace.
"Cough… cough… Damn… those giants… so strong…"
Blood soaked Kong's white Marine uniform; he looked gruesome.
"Can you still hold on?"
"I'm fine… cough, just surface wounds."
Chaton stood by the window, extending his hands.
"Boar Tooth Rush!!"
His body swelled, his mouth growing curved fangs, his nose transforming into a upturned snout.
That was chaton's ability.
Pig Pig Fruit. Mythical Beast. Zhu Bajie form!
Zhu Bajie, the god who controls the land in legend, has thirty-six Tiangang skills!
Chaton stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and a nine-toothed rake condensed from the wall.
"Ha!!"
As the rake was swung down, a huge earthen boar appeared out of thin air and rushed towards the two rock armored hill kings.
"Roar!"
The two Hilichurl were actually at a disadvantage in terms of strength, and were knocked back by the wild boar.
The half-pig Chatun stepped on the window sill with one foot, and swung the spiked rake again.
"Armament Haki. Slashing with Fangs!!!"
Hundreds of small wild boars rushed out, their fangs were all covered with Armament Haki, and instantly tore a hole in the hillbilly army.
Kong was terrified, he overestimated his soldiers and underestimated Chatun.
In his previous life, he didn't know much about Chatun, he only knew that he was a candidate for general. In this life, he also felt that Chatun was a mediocre person and didn't have any scary momentum.
But this time, he really experienced how powerful Chatun was. If Chatun was given time, this army of tens of thousands of hillbillies would not be enough for Chatun to fight alone.
"It's troublesome... It takes a high-level combat power to hold Chaton back..."
As Kong pondered, thunder and lightning crackled in the distance. The Fatui Electro Cicin mages had arrived!
More than sixty Electro Cicin mages simultaneously summoned nearly two hundred electro butterflies, immediately seizing air superiority and unleashing a barrage of lightning on the navy below.
At the same time, over twenty Cryo Cicin mages summoned more than sixty Cryo butterflies, constantly flapping their wings to shower the navy and CP1 with snowflakes, inflicting Cryo status.
The Superconduct reaction triggered again, reducing everyone's defense.
At this moment, thirty earth-yellow domes rose from the army below—the Geovishap Riders' shields, increasing their defense.
This ebb and flow, coupled with the charge of the Anemoboxer and Electrohammer vanguard units, and the giant Hilichurl Stonehide shield-bearers,
completely shattered the navy and CP1's defensive line!
Tsuru became extremely anxious, hurriedly shouting to the troops below.
"Shrink the formation! Block the gate!!!"
"Yes!!"
The rest of the city lord's mansion was emptied, all forces concentrated at the main gate. Cannonballs, firearms, and incendiary bombs rained down relentlessly, somehow allowing them to withstand the onslaught. Naturally, the CP1 agents, wielding Haki, played a crucial role.
Chaton slammed her hands on the ground, veins popping out on her forehead.
"Earth gate! Armament Haki!"
A thick wall of earth enveloped the rest of the city lord's mansion, preventing the entire structure from collapsing.
With Chaton's protection, the navy below found it easier, managing to hold the army outside the city lord's mansion.
Kong seemed to have realized something, exclaiming in surprise.
"No!"
"What's wrong?"
Kong's expression was one of terror.
"That teleportation ability hasn't appeared! He might already be inside. If he uses the mansion to teleport those troops..."
Chaton's expression changed, her Kenbunshoku Haki warning her instantly.
"Clang!"
A flaming dagger collided with her nine-toothed rake. Balaru slowly materialized from his invisibility.
"Hee hee hee, worthy of a Navy Vice Admiral..."
Chaton's pig-like face contorted.
"You're the one with that ability!?"
"Boom!"
As if to confirm Chaton's suspicions, two Cryo Gunners and four Hydro Gunners appeared behind Kong.
"Go, kill the Celestial Dragons, I'll hold this Vice Admiral."
"Yes!"
The corridors of the city lord's mansion were too narrow for a fighter like Chaton, who relied on wide, sweeping attacks. Balaru, being an assassin, was incredibly agile. Even though he couldn't defeat Chaton, temporarily restraining her wasn't a problem.
"Lord Bukar! Run!!"
Kong, despite his apparent "serious injuries," struggled to block the entrance.
"If you want to harm Lord Bukar! You'll have to get past me!"
Six large and heavy Gunners grinned.
"Then die!"
Their elemental guns sprayed a mixture of ice mist and water, creating a thick ice wall that separated Chaton and Balaru.
"Kong! Lord Bukar!!"
"Instead of worrying about others, you should worry about yourself! Die!"
"Get out of the way!!"
At that moment, from within the iced-over room, Kong's pained scream echoed.
"Aaargh!!!"
"Kong!!!"
Chaton's eyes turned red with extreme rage!
The truth within the ice wall was that Bukar was being held tightly by a Cryo Gunner, his mouth covered. He looked at Kong in terror.
The other Gunners retreated to the side, kneeling before Kong with respectful expressions, swearing their allegiance.
Kong, holding his longsword, had a cold expression. He walked step by step towards the richly dressed Bukar, grinning.
"You... made me kneel quite comfortably before."
"Mmph! Mmph!!!"
Bucca understood what was happening. Tears and snot streamed down his face, his trousers soaked. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't escape the Cryo Gunner's grip.
"Shink!"
Kong didn't waste words. His first strike pierced Bukar's groin, blood instantly staining his white trousers.
"Ugh!!!"
Bukar's eyeballs were about to pop out of his head in pain, and Kong squatted in front of him.
"Attacking children, you're truly amazing. Since you don't want to be a man, I'll help you. Don't worry, I won't kill you. After all... if the Celestial Dragons die, I'll be in trouble too."
Bukar breathed a sigh of relief, but Kong's next words intensified his struggle.
"So... I've decided to make you an idiot..."
"Bang!!!"
An ornate chair smashed down on Bukar's head. Celestial Dragon goods were high quality; it took Kong three blows to break the chair.
He then switched to a vase, then a broken bed leg, relentlessly smashing Bukar's head until he stopped.
Bukar had completely fainted, his head a bloody mess. In several places, you could see fractured skull.
Kong took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood from his hands. Then, a Water Slime pup appeared in his palm.
He placed the Water Slime pup on Bukar's head.
"Go, parasitize his brain, sever his nerves."
The little slime was only the size of a fist. Its round eyes blinked, then it hopped and bounced, transforming into a liquid that seeped into the cracks in Bukar's skull.
Immediately, Bukar's body convulsed violently for about ten seconds before stopping.
At that moment, he was dead, yet his vital signs remained. The Water Slime had taken over his body, unable to control it, but able to maintain life. Medically speaking, Bukar was now a vegetable.
His brain wasn't dead, but it was isolated by the Water Slime's presence. He could still think, but none of his thoughts could be transmitted.
In this world, perhaps only Law, who ate the Ope Ope no Mi, could save him.
However, if Law were to intervene, the Water Slime would immediately detonate, using the resulting water current to pulverize Bukar's brain to prevent any future problems.
Having finished, Kong looked at the six Gunners.
"You will die soon. Consider it payment for your service."
The six Gunners clenched their fists and pounded their chests.
"We die without regret!"
Kong looked at the thick ice wall at the entrance.
"Then, go forth and slaughter. This city is full of slaves and Celestial Dragon lackeys. They fawn over their masters and use their power to do evil. Killing them is a worthwhile endeavor; killing two is a great profit."
"As you command! For the glory of Snezhnaya!!!"
Kong picked up the last bed leg and took a deep breath.
"Bang!!!"
The next second, blood flowed from Kong's forehead. He carried the unconscious Bukar on his back, his body crackling with electricity.
"Whether I live or die... depends on my acting skills... ugh... it really hurts..."
"Boom!!"
Lightning flashed, shattering the ice wall.
Kong, covered in blood, carrying the equally bloody Bukar, burst through the ice wall.
"Revolutionary Army! I stake my honor as a Navy officer!!! You will pay!!! I will protect Lord Bukar with my life!!!"
"Kong!?"
Chaton had already pushed Bareru into a corner. He would be able to kill Bareru in a little while. The sudden appearance of Sora disrupted his rhythm.
Baralu threw down a cruel word upon seeing this.
"Damn... Damn marine boy, I'm screwed this time! Goodbye!!!!"
