Chapter 700: Chapter 693: Group of Demons Run Wild

Just when everyone was in a relaxed state, suddenly, a tentacle, like an octopus arm, extended out from the barrier rippling with a purple hue, sweeping towards the utterly unguarded heavy-armored knights.

The tentacle was as thick as a water barrel and over ten meters long. One side of the tentacle had round suction cups, while the other was covered with a layer of dark purple skin. Sparse hair could be seen on the skin, standing upright like steel needles.

The tentacle swept towards the knights like a ferocious horde in one fell swoop. The caught off guards knights were knocked to the ground by the power of the tentacle’s motion. One unfortunate knight was wrapped up by the tentacle. He screamed out in terror, but after a few cries was pulled into the Door of Annihilation and dragged into another world.

The crowd immediately became restless. The companion of the ensnared knight tried to rush in to rescue him, but was held back by the people around him. These knights understood that the reason their equipment was so powerful was due to the enchantments of the Magic World. The moment they left the Magic World, they would instantly lose their home-field advantage.

In the first war of Otherworld, the overconfident Otherworld Allied Army invaded Australia, but because they were fighting on foreign soil, they lost their home-field advantage and ended up being bombed to oblivion by the technology-enhanced United States Navy.

The crowd’s commotion caught the attention of the Advance Team. Luoer and Cheng Ziang exchanged glances, their expressions immediately turning serious. Although they were in a corner of the Door of Annihilation, not worrying about becoming the main target, they had to be vigilant against possible attacks. Once dragged into the world of Annihilation, although their weapons and equipment leveraged technological advantages, that didn’t necessarily make them a match for those beasts.

"Everyone step back and keep your distance from the Door of Annihilation," Luoer ordered loudly, then turned his head to Shariya and said, "Dean Shariya, I suggest you retain the necessary personnel and evacuate the rest to a safe area to avoid being drawn into the world of annihilation by the beast."

"Okay, I understand!" Hearing his words, Shariya nodded and immediately began to organize the mages.

"I will maintain the process of the rune connection!" Tangmo walked over, her face serious as she spoke.

"Moumou, stop messing around. You are a member of the advance team." Luoer frowned as he spoke.

"Luo’er, this rune must be continuously operated, otherwise, if it is interrupted once, we have to start over from the beginning. I am more familiar with the structure of this rune than they are, and I can resolve any problems in real time." Tangmo explained.

"I’m not talking about that!" Luoer spoke a bit anxiously.

"I know what you want to say," Tangmo interjected, her eyes welling up with tears, "Luo’er, I can protect myself well, don’t always think about protecting me beneath your wings, otherwise, I won’t be able to grow."

"You always argue with me at times like this." Luoer spoke with an air of frustration.

"I’m not arguing, we are all fighting for a common goal. Since there is a need for me, shouldn’t I give it my all?" Tangmo put up a strong argument.

"You..." Luoer was at a loss for words after hearing her argument. His mouth opened but he couldn’t manage to formulate a response.

"Luoer, stop trying to persuade her, hurry up and arrange for someone to protect her, don’t let her get dragged in." Cheng Ziang walked to his side, frowning seriously as he spoke.

Reminded by Cheng Ziang, Luoer heaved a sigh and then shouted loudly, "Feng, come here!"

"Yes!" Hearing Luoer’s call, Feng quickly walked in front of him, her big eyes looking up at him.

"You are responsible for protecting Moumou, stay with her every step of the way!" Luoer commanded.

"Understood!" Feng nodded, her gaze instantly becoming icy. Upon hearing Luoer’s orders, she unsheathed her sword with a clang and walked to Tangmo’s side, standing guard with her back towards her.

"There’s no need to be so dramatic..." Seeing Feng’s serious expression, Tangmo spoke with a touch of amusement and exasperation.

"Everyone else retreats to a safe distance and stay alert," Luoer commanded, then turned his head and shouted loudly, "Fula, inform the transport plane to approach and hover, ready to receive the advance team members at any time!"

"Yes!" Fulajie’er nodded, and immediately flew towards the transport plane in the sky.

About one minute after the first tentacle appeared, more tentacles stretched out from the barrier, writhing non-stop. For a while, the entire purple barrier of the Door of Annihilation was filled with these twisting tentacles.

But they were not so lucky this time. After the first tentacle took a person away, the soldiers had already started to retreat to safer positions, not giving the tentacles a chance to snatch them away.

The tentacles swayed futilely in the air, occasionally tangling with each other in a twisted heap. Looking at these twisted tentacles in the barrier, Hu Daoke made a sound of disapproval and said, shaking his head, "I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s an Old Ruler on the other side."

"Should we give it a try?" Wu Tairan suggested from the side.

"It’s better not to. As long as they haven’t hurt us, we shouldn’t provoke them." Luoer replied, turning his head after hearing his words.

"Yes!" Wu Tairan revealed an awkward expression after being denied by Luoer.

"Everyone stay calm, the reverse runes are already in operation. As long as we can hold on for an hour, the Door of Annihilation will be completely shut and these monsters won’t be able to hurt us anymore," Luoer said calmly to his team members.

The tentacles continued to twist wildly on the barrier, creating a chaotic dance. The same thing was happening on the other side of the gate, with tentacles flying all over the sky, both disgusting and frightening to look at.

With Feng’s company, Tangmo knelt by a rune stone slab less than three meters from the gate pillar, checking the alignment of the slab to prevent any shift that would render the rune ineffective. Along with her, several young mages were nervously checking, occasionally glancing anxiously at the writhing tentacles on the barrier.

Feng had a serious look on her face and assumed an attacking stance, facing the Door of Annihilation. It was clear that if any tentacle dared to attack, she would not hesitate to cut it off.

Suddenly, a tentacle swept across their heads at three meters, and heavily slapped the gate pillar, instantly breaking all the moss and vines on it, leaving leaves and broken vines scattered on the ground.

This strike scared Tangmo quite a bit. Thankfully, the tentacle did not hit them, so she quickly started collecting the leaves and broken vines that were scattered on the runes, afraid they would interfere with the normal operation of the rune.

The strike just now also gave Feng a big fright. She crouched low, gripping the long sword in her hand tightly, almost ready to strike.

With the operation of the runes, the surrounding magic began to fluctuate. The input method for this rune is a combination of atmospheric magic and mineral magic, with atmospheric magic gathering being the main contributor, and mineral magic fueled by magic crystals coming second.

Hu Daoke and several other machine gunners were kneeling on the ground holding their guns. After a while, they began to feel pain in their arms and could not help but lower the muzzle temporarily.

"I almost took the shot just now," confessed Wu Tairan, still feeling the lingering fear.

"Don’t mess around, Feng is responsible for Sister Mourmour’s area. We can only fire after they withdraw. Don’t shoot randomly towards their direction, we could easily hit our own people," warned Hu Daoke.

"Is Feng really that strong? Her sword is not that long, I don’t see how she could cut off those tentacles," Wu Tairan said doubtfully.

"You underestimate her, she relies on not her sword, but..."

Before Hu Daoke could finish his sentence, they saw Feng make her move. A tentacle quickly shot towards the position where Tangmo and others were, then Feng swung her long sword upwards. An invisible sword aura instantly tore through the air, striking at the tentacle and easily severed it. Dark blue blood immediately squirted out from the neat cut.

Not only that, this sword aura swept across the purple barrier of the Otherworld Gate. Wherever it reached, all the tentacles were neatly cut off and fell to the ground. The chopped tentacles wriggled on the ground and their owners immediately retracted in pain back into the barrier of the Door of Annihilation.
