Chapter 712: Chapter 705: Entanglement

Under the onslaught of a new round of attacks, Naptios recoiled after throwing down another dozen tentacles in desperation. Seeing his opportunity, Tangmo once again rallied the members of the Advance Team to fire into the Door of Annihilation.

Meanwhile, two transport planes had also adjusted their direction. The heavy machine guns at the rear of the planes joined the Advance Team in their barrage against the Door of Annihilation.

Naptios’ tentacles should now be nearly depleted, leaving it no choice but to enter the fray itself if it wanted to continue the attack. If it left now, then Shariya could continue directing the magic forces to perform the closing ceremony on the Door of Annihilation. Either way, the Door of Annihilation had to be closed as soon as possible.

In the two ceremonies, the first attempt was interrupted by a horde of monsters, and the second was disrupted by Naptios. Both failures reminded everyone that the Door of Annihilation must be closed as quickly as possible. The consequences of Naptios amassing forces from the annihilated world on the other side were unpredictable.

Originally, closing the Door of Annihilation was merely the final stage of the cleanup operation. Nobody would have thought that with the emergence of Naptios, the entire operation would turn into the toughest battle within the cleanup effort.

Right now, the aerial fleet and the Church Court’s army were ceaselessly hurrying over. If the Advance Team and the others had not yet closed the Door of Annihilation when these two massive forces converged, this place could likely transform into a new battlefield. To the headquarters, this outcome would cause a staggering loss and significantly disrupt their planned schedule.

The headquarters spared no efforts to support the Church Court’s actions for Lipei and the Otherworld Gate. It had consumed considerable resources deploying the Advance Team to support them in their battles. With the additional deployment of the aerial fleet, they already owed a great debt of gratitude to Ronisca. If they continued to delay here, the accumulated contradictions at the headquarters could quickly trigger a chain reaction, leading their entire plan to collapse.

"Come out now, let me avenge Luo’er!" After firing the last photon bullet, Tangmo looked up at the Door of Annihilation and muttered subconsciously.

After shooting continuously for more than a minute, there was finally a response from the other side of the Door of Annihilation. A giant hand once again stretched out of the barrier and grasped the doorframe. Next, the massive head of Naptios slowly emerged from the barrier, its completely black eyes glaring angrily at Tangmo, who was looking up at it.

Upon seeing this colossal creature for the first time, everyone felt a sense of panic and was struck with overwhelming awe, to the point they forgot to fire. Its massive form made everyone inevitably feel their own insignificance. In the face of this creature, everyone felt as though they were nothing more than an ant.

Seeing Naptios glaring at him, a brazen smile formed on Tangmo’s fierce face as he apparently showed no fear towards its presence.

"Feng, go!" After laughing wildly, Tangmo shouted with gritted teeth.

In response to her call, a figure leaped from behind her at lightning speed, shooting straight towards Naptios, who had just shown its upper body.

Feng held a long sword in her hand, staring coldly at the massive creature in front of her, teeth clenched beneath her ordinarily calm exterior. Her speed was extraordinary. In the blink of an eye, she had vaulted in front of Naptios, giving it no time to react.

"Puh!"

Using her momentum, Feng leaped in front of Naptios and brandished her sword. An arc of sword energy immediately shot out, accurately hitting Naptios’ huge eye.

Naptios’ round, pitch-black eye popped open instantly. Almost black liquid splashed everywhere, and Naptios let out a painful roar, covering its injured eye with its massive right hand.

Its voice was deep and sonorous, and extremely loud, causing the people present to cover their ears. Amid the panic, the force stationed at the back could no longer restrain itself and started firing at Naptios.

"Cease fire, cease fire!" Tangmo, covering her ears, turned her head and shouted her order while waving her hand.

"Roger that," Cheng Ziang nodded painfully and turned his head to instruct the people behind him, "Murong, tell the people in the back to stop firing, they might hurt Feng!"

"Received," Murong nodded, then called to a few companions loudly, "You guys, come with me to get them to cease fire!"

"How the heck can Feng jump so high? This is too much of a bug, right?" Hu Daoke said, his eyes wide in disbelief at Feng’s performance.

"Didn’t Luo’er say that Feng’s full battle potential hasn’t been unveiled yet? Now none of us knows what other abilities she has." Cheng Ziang glanced at him and replied.

Tangmo stood still on the spot, intently watching Feng’s fight. If nothing unexpected happened to Feng, her plan could be executed perfectly. Unlike Luo’er, who adhered to a so-called policy of ensuring everyone’s safety, if Feng had the strength to challenge Naptios, Tangmo saw no reason not to let Feng try.

After slashing Naptios’ eye, Feng used the momentum to jump onto its shoulder. Then, she lightly tipped her toe on Naptios’ rough shoulder and her body immediately sprang up lightly again.

A few intact tentacles attacked again. Feng twisted her body in the air. Invisible sword qi instantly and accurately cut off the twisting tentacles.

Next, she lightly jumped onto Naptios’ forearm, then flipped in the air and shot out a sword qi, hitting the back of Naptios’ hand. The severe pain made it let go of the pillar. Feng then used the momentum of her jump to leap onto the tall pillar. With one hand holding her sword and the other tightly gripping the remaining vines on the pillar, she half hung on the pillar.

Naptios, recovering from the pain, looked around angrily, trying to find the tiny creature who just blinded one of its eyes. Seeing this, Feng swung her sword, sending another sword qi that hit Naptios’ forearm, which was just retracting.

Napitos’s body spasmed violently, retracted its left hand and then swung desperately at Feng who was hanging on the pillar.

"Bang!!!"

Naptios’ punch was so powerful that it hit the pillar with a loud noise. The entire Door of Annihilation shook, even the ground began to tremble.

But it didn’t touch nimble Feng, who had let go of the vine and pushed off the pillar before its fist arrived. She made a beautiful flip in the air to dodge Naptios’ attack and then fell downwards.

Feng was like an ant, the fall from a height of more than ten meters did not harm her at all. She landed steadily on the ground, but immediately after, Naptios’ left fist followed closely, smashing at her from above.

"Be careful!" Tangmo warned loudly.

Feng looked up at the enormous fist falling from above, unfazed. She calmly jumped back, narrowly avoiding the deadly blow. Naptios’s fist dug straight in to the earth, creating a blast wave not inferior to the explosion of a shell. It smashed a deep pit on the ground.

Feng stepped back, then jumped again to avoid the fist’s shockwave. She jumped onto Naptios’ hand, then knelt down, stabbing her long sword into its rough skin.

"Whoosh!" Sword qi was built into this stab, so although her sword only went through Naptios’ skin, her sword qi pierced through its hand, creating a through-hole.

Naptios shrieked in agony again, but Feng did not wait for its outburst. She pulled out the sword, made an on-spot jump, curb-stomped a ten-meter-high jump to the top of the gate, and stood steady.

Naptios let out a furious howl. Its left hand, once buried in the soil, was raised up high once again and smashed down at Feng on top of the gateway.

"Bang!" Another loud crash, Naptios’ backhand slammed onto the top of the Door of Annihilation.

The effect of this attack was quite shocking. Two attacks on the Door of Annihilation made the light purple barrier in the middle of the gateframe nearly disappear. The runes on the gate pillar flickered, demonstrating the considerable damage that the two attacks by Naptios had caused the Door of Annihilation.
