Chapter 134: Castle Skirmish

~6 min read 1,134 words

The Thunder God Hammer possesses a flame‑jet device far more powerful than TPS, and it can even enable its wearer to make long‑range flight jumps.

But it is clear that the OriginalBodies have no intention of activating the device for buffering.

Because when they rode the Yuyou and shortly before arrived at ten‑kilometer altitude over Romania, the Red Queen shared the helmet video of Ka Luosi and the others.

After reaching the designated location.

One by one they leapt out of the cabin, and through the Red Queen's feed they witnessed a vampire boasting of its immortal body.

Having abandoned their human identity, they even turned around and insulted humanity's weakness?

So the OriginalBodies decided to use the most violent means to teach those vampires who the truly weak one is.

The inner courtyard on the north side of the castle.

Robert detached the burst gun attached to his back, gripped it, then left the shallow pit he had smashed out of, and walked toward Ka Luosi and the others a short distance away.

John, Kelakesi and two other OriginalBodies, who had also landed nearby, rendezvoused with Ka Luosi and the others.

"Second Lieutenant, we're late," Robert said apologetically.

"Not late, not late," Ka Luosi replied, patting the shoulder of a paratrooper equipped with a missile launcher, and laughed:

"Going back would inevitably get us nagged by our air troops, after all we wasted ten rounds and still haven't inflicted any real damage on those scraps."

"Hmm." Robert offered no comment, and turned his head toward the nearby building.

Ka Luosi also looked that way, and, suppressing his laughter, reminded Robert and the other OriginalBodies:

"Based on those flying scraps just now, that guy named Victor Vincent must have already begun the sacrificial ritual.

Inside the castle or underground, there may be more such mutated scraps, even… the company's most coveted target, the Blood Demon."

Robert thought for a few seconds and replied, "Second Lieutenant, you and your men stay outside; we'll continue the containment and elimination operations."

"I need to report to my superiors," Ka Luosi said without giving immediate consent.

"Alright." Robert had no objection.

Ka Luosi then opened communications with the Red Queen, and soon received the reply "Seal the castle's perimeter."

With a concrete order in hand, Ka Luosi resumed his hearty laugh and said, "Then we'll leave the rest to you; we must not let any scrap escape."

"Don't worry." Robert nodded, then turned toward the main building's gate.

Kelakesi, John and the two other brothers followed closely.

And John held the burst gun in his left hand, raised his right hand with fingers spread, as if awaiting something.

Ka Luosi and the other paratroopers were a little puzzled.

At that moment, the Spear of Fear, which had been deeply embedded underground, burst forth with a "Boom!"

This drew Ka Luosi and the others' attention.

The long spear emitting an eerie red light automatically adjusted its angle and then surged toward John's direction.

The spear swept over Ka Luosi and the others, whose eyes tracked it, and they saw John grasp the returning Spear of Fear and attach it to the back of the Thunder God Hammer.

"."

Because they wore helmets, their facial expressions could not be seen clearly.

However, back at the Gobekli ruins, when Sui Bian reserved John's Spear of Fear, they were all eyewitnesses.

Having Sui Bian, a master who can wield a divine artifact, as their patron gave the paratroopers confidence to confront all manner of monsters.

For the paratroopers, Sui Bian is an unwavering solid backing.

And now, after seeing the OriginalBodies endowed with the artifact display such overwhelming power, that confidence has grown even stronger.

As for the backing…

"Paratroopers!" Ka Luosi shouted over the comms, "Everyone, rally your spirits and carry out the sealing! Do not let any scrap escape!"

"Hoo ha!" the paratroopers roared in unison.

As for the backing, it will always be Sui Bian, who gives the paratroopers their purpose.

And the OriginalBodies' displayed toughness further fuels the paratroopers' fighting spirit.

The next time they encounter similarly abnormal creatures, they will certainly eliminate those "scraps" before any support arrives.

…

Inside the castle's interior.

The place is unusually dim, with only faint light seeping in through cracks in the walls.

On the ground along both sides of the passage, a few unextinguished torches provide the scant illumination.

"Ah—, ah—!"

In the silent, gloomy corridor, intermittent, extremely nauseating wailing cries echoed.

"Dong! Dong!"

At that moment, rhythmic heavy footsteps drowned out those cries.

Robert, John, Kelakesi and the two other brothers stepped onto the ancient stone tiles, fearlessly marching toward the castle's interior.

The ten OriginalBodies, following Robert's orders, split into two squads: this side entered the castle from the north, the other side from the south, to improve efficiency in locating the Blood Pool.

Inside the helmet.

Through the visual aid of his display screen, Robert could discern every detail nearby; even the darkest corners could not escape his gaze.

At that moment, a pulse wave on the screen radiated outward from his position.

The areas swept by the pulse appeared, slightly compressed, on the radar in the screen's upper‑right corner, giving Robert a clearer picture of the surroundings.

Very quickly.

Several red dots appeared on the radar, rushing toward them at breakneck speed.

Without any word from Robert, the brothers instinctively halted, pointing the muzzles of their burst guns forward.

Observe from outside the helmet.

Robert and five others are in a dim area where the wall has no cracks and no torches provide light.

Can't see five fingers when stretching out the hand.

Silent and soundless.

If they were ordinary humans, without wearing any auxiliary tools, they could not possibly observe the surroundings.

Click-click-click!

In an instant, deafening gunfire echoed throughout this area.

The dazzling firelight from the muzzle of the burst-loss gun illuminated the silhouettes of those using them.

The burst-loss bullet exiting the barrel, with its tail spraying propulsive flames, continuously accelerated as it swept through the corridor.

Boom! Boom!

Each bullet precisely struck the target's body and instantly caused a violent explosion.

Howl~! Howl!

The mournful howl of dogs suffering extreme pain came from ahead.

Ordinary humans cannot observe movements, but the OriginalBodies are not within the range of ordinary humans.

Even without the visual aid of Thor's Hammer and the warning of pulse radar, the OriginalBodies could still detect the werewolves preparing to ambush them in the dark.

In the vision provided by the helmet, Robert discovered that this group of werewolves also showed a relative degree of mutation.

Their bodies became larger, they had reddish-brown fur, and their claws and fangs became sharper.

And

Howl~~!!

Accompanied by the werewolf howl, numerous werewolves launched an attack on them.
