My Special Ability is Perfect Replication Chapter 42 – The Beast Tide Strikes, Class Chapter 6 Direbeasts

Chapter 42: The Beast Tide Strikes, Class 6 Direbeasts

“A Class 6 Direbeast, the Bloodgorger Bat!” Ling Jiu uttered those few words with difficulty, and he was stunned. “Why has a Class 6 Direbeast appeared here? It’s too dangerous!”

A Class 6 Direbeast!

It was the very symbol of strength!

Each Class 6 Direbeast had the power to collapse mountains, and most firearms were useless against them!

Plus, a Class 6 Direbeast often had many underlings and could easily launch a Beast tide. It was literally a disaster for small- to medium-sized base cities!

At that moment, Lantian Base City’s defense system had been activated because the high and thick defensive concrete walls were lined with Arcanists.

At the same time, the sound of all the firearms and ballistas that had been installed on the city walls tore through the place as a continuous stream of lead and projectiles were unleased.

The effect of the firearms was clear right then. The weaker Direbeasts were turned into pincushions, while munitions only bounced off the more powerful Direbeasts, creating bursts of sparks in the process.

It was obvious that firearms… were not very useful, especially when up against the powerful Direbeasts. Hence, Arcanists remained the key!

A large number of Arcanists stationed themselves at the front of the city, resisting the Beast Tide.

Flames roared, icicles shot out, violent winds whirled about, and stone bullets ripped through the air… The entire Lantian Base City was a veritable meat grinder.

A large number of Direbeasts were killed, and their corpses piled up high on the city’s grounds. The flowing blood was so dense that it formed a creek, which emitted a pungent bloody smell.

“Everyone, keep fighting! We only need to hold on a little longer to break the Beast Tide!”

The commander’s voice resounded in the city. He was from the military and was the supreme commander of Lantian Base City’s military district, Wang Chao!

It was worth mentioning that the army was responsible for the entire base city’s defense and safety. Every time there was a Beast Tide, the army would always be the first to show up and fight off the Beast Tide while they summoned the Arcanists in the city.

So, the army was the patron saint of the people in the entire base city!

Just as Wang Chao had said, the number of beasts was indeed shrinking quickly. Unsurprisingly, the Beast Tide would soon be completely destroyed.

By then, the Beast Tide would disperse, but that was on the premise of the Class 6 Direbeast not joining the battle.

Perhaps enraged by the scene before it, the Bloodgorger Bat flew over the base city and opened its mouth wide as it released a loud, high-pitched shriek.

Skriiiing!

Ripples spread out from the bat, and the entire space was filled with sound waves. All of the fighting Arcanists suddenly screamed and rolled around in unison as they clutched their heads. There was blood flowing out of their ears, and they were clearly wounded by the sound wave.

“This is… a sonic attack!”

Ling Jiu also felt his ears ring, and he was dizzy as his heart thumped in fear.

Every Class 6 Direbeast was a catastrophe, and a Class 6 Direbeast like the Bloodgorger Bat that could emit ultrasonic waves was even more terrifying; the destructive power of its ultrasonic waves was just too wide-spread.

“The Bloodgorger Bat has acted!”

All of the Arcanists looked fearful. A Class 6 Direbeast was not something a low-level Arcanist could deal with. Only an Arcanist of the same level could kill it!

The issue was…

Lantian Base City was only a medium-sized base city, and a Level 5 Arcanist was pretty much the limit. Where were they going to find a Level 6 Arcanist to kill the Class 6 Direbeast?!

“Quick! Launch the electromagnetic cannons and take it down!” Wang Chao roared.

“Yes, Chief!”

A gun port slowly appeared at the center of the city walls as a cannon more than ten meters long stood quietly inside the port. It was one of the Lantian Base City’s most powerful weapons, the electromagnetic cannon!

With Lantian Base City’s level of technology, the electromagnetic cannon could not be manufactured there, and it was instead purchased from a large base city!

In theory, as long as the electromagnetic cannon shells found their mark, it would be enough to kill a Class 7 Direbeast.

However, that was just a theory!

Although the electromagnetic cannon was powerful, it took a long time to charge and required aiming.

On the other hand, Class 6 or Class 7 Direbeasts were as fast as lightning, and it was just too difficult to hit them!

Bzzzt…

Electric arcs permeated throughout the cannon as a large amount of electricity filled it. The blue light from the cannon gradually turned green before it turned white.

Finally, the electromagnetic cannon completely turned white!

“Chief, the electromagnetic cannon is fully charged!”

“Aim it at the Bloodgorger Bat and fire!

Wooosh!

The electromagnetic cannon roared as a white light beam of pure concentrated electricity blasted out and headed toward the Bloodgorger Bat at a speed that was difficult for ordinary people to see.

“Great, the electromagnetic cannon has been fired!”

“Hit it! Hit it!”

All of the Arcanists stopped and stared at the electromagnetic cannon without blinking, praying that the cannon would hit the Bloodgorger Bat. As long as the bat died, the crisis would naturally be averted.

Unfortunately, something caused everyone to despair. Just as the cannon’s shell was closing in on the Bloodgorger Bat and about to hit its mark…

The Bloodgorger Bat suddenly exploded into a cloud of blood mist as it propelled itself to the side like lightning. The cannon’s shell grazed the tail of the blood mist when it flew into the air, and the mist once again reformed into the Bloodgorger Bat dozens of meters away.

“It… It dodged it!”

All of the Arcanists were dumbstruck as a trace of despair rose in their hearts. “This Bloodgorger Bat has an Arcana! It also has an Arcana!”

“Damn it!”

Wang Chao’s face was green. “What a misfortune for us to run into a Class 6 Direbeast with Arcana. This will be tricky!”

After Direbeasts evolved, they generally possessed extremely powerful bodies, strength, or speed. Rarely any would develop Arcanas.

But nothing was absolute!

There would always be a small number of Direbeasts with Arcanas, such as this Bloodgorger Bat before them. This type of Direbeast was often the most difficult to deal with.

“This Bloodgorger beast’s ability seems to be Blood Mist Transformation. It’s very difficult for the electromagnetic cannon to hit it. If we want to kill it, we need to find a way to lock it in place or hold it in place!”

A staff officer calmly analyzed. “As long as we can lock it down for a second or two, or hold it in place for a moment, the electromagnetic cannon will be able to hit it!”

“Hold it in place? How?”

Wang Chao rubbed his temples and felt his head aching. That was a Class 6 Direbeast!

“We will need the help of the Arcanists!”

“We need to look for those Arcanists with control-type Arcanas, or those who can delay the Bloodgorger Bat for a while!” the staff member said.

“Contact all Arcanists at once and ask for their help!” Wang Chao decided immediately and barked orders.

“Yes, Chief!”

…

“Bloody hell! A Class 6 Direbeast that can hide in blood… How do I even kill it?!”

Ling Jiu secretly wiped away his cold sweat. “Let’s head to the city to help fight off the Beast Tide. If that fails, I have to run!”

“Hello, everyone!”

Suddenly, a loud voice rang above the city. “Everyone has seen it, right? The Bloodgorger Bat has a special ability, and it’s very difficult for the electromagnetic cannon to hit it…”

“Hold the Bloodgorger Bat?”

Listening to the announcement echoing above, Ling Jiu had an idea. “I am now a Level 4 Arcanist, and the maximum gravity I can use is 8G’s. Eight times the gravity should be able to hold the bat in place for a while, right?

“Besides, I can blink, so even if that fails, I can still escape! How about… I give it a try?”

Ling Jiu was a person who was afraid of death, and he never did things that he did not have full confidence in. However, he felt that with him and the electromagnetic cannon, it was entirely possible to kill the Bloodgorger Bat!

Ling Jiu understood that the Bloodgorger Bat was the key to ending this Blood Tide!

As long as it was alive, the Beast Tide would not disperse!

If the city’s defenses were breached, the lives of the five million people living there would be in peril.

His dad and little sister would be in danger then!

“F*ck it! Let’s do this!”
