Chapter 429: Anger
When Vulkan saw that flame spraying toward him, he was just about to defend himself, but discovered that Dabeiwenqiao, who was following behind him, had opened a Psionic Barrier at that moment, blocking the flame.
The scorching sensation made Vulkan feel the great power of this fire; a Prowler Tank that had been at his side just moments ago had already become a puddle of molten iron, and the ground the flames had swept over was charred black, emitting waves of heat.
"Dabeiwenqiao, you should be protecting the soldiers in the rear."
Vulkan saw that many of the soldiers following behind him had been swallowed by the flames; whether they were Human Alliance soldiers or Cadian soldiers, none were spared.
Dabeiwenqiao spoke slowly from behind his angular helmet.
"Lord Vulkan, you did not issue such an order just now; if necessary, you may issue it next time."
Vulkan felt quite helpless regarding these warriors known as Grey Knights, always feeling that it was difficult for him to work with them, as there were great differences in their styles of conduct, though their starting point was always for Human Civilization.
Looking at the largest Dawuqi beast, Vulkan gripped the Power Hammer in his hand and said to Dabeiwenqiao.
"Dabeiwenqiao, drop the barrier, let us finish off this Alien!"
"It is my honor to fight alongside you!"
Dabeiwenqiao activated his Heavenly Punishment Demon-Cleaving Halberd, and the Psionic Barrier in front was dropped; Vulkan clearly felt a scorching breath rush toward his face, mixed with the smell of burning.
Vulkan gripped the Power Hammer and charged toward the largest Dawuqi beast, with Dabeiwenqiao following closely behind.
Vulkan leaped up, his superhuman physical fitness allowing him to be directly level with the largest Dawuqi beast; a flash of anger crossed Vulkan's reddened eyes, and he swung the Power Hammer in his hand down fiercely.
Following a dull, thunderous sound accompanied by a shockwave, this largest Dawuqi beast began to collapse directly toward the ground; the head that Vulkan had struck was already a bloody mess, and the skull slumped limply onto the ground, motionless.
Vulkan also returned to the ground, straightened his body, and looked at the dead Dawuqi beast with his reddened eyes; without a hint of hesitation, he prepared to go and finish off the other Dawuqi beasts.
Just at this moment, two Aliens wearing colorful robes appeared not far away; their gazes looked at Vulkan wantonly, and the staffs in their hands emitted a wave of energy.
Seeing this, Vulkan immediately realized that these two Aliens before him were the leaders of this Alien Army, and as long as he finished them off, victory would be within reach.
Watching his progeny fire upon and attack those Dawuqi beasts amidst the flames, Vulkan prepared to deal with these two Aliens first.
"Boom—!"
Vulkan only felt the ground beneath his feet begin to shake; following a series of violent tremors, a group of Stone Giants appeared around those Dawuqi beasts.
"Dabeiwenqiao, you deal with those stone men summoned by the Aliens!"
Having just arrived, Dabeiwenqiao replied immediately after receiving the new order.
"As you command, Lord Vulkan!"
"Dawuqi, that black Two-legged Sheep seems to have locked onto us."
Diwanhu looked at the black Two-legged Sheep not far away with a grave expression and said in a low voice.
"Ah, I feel it; the aura radiating from this Two-legged Sheep is pressing down on me so hard I can barely breathe. Damn it! Is this an aura a Two-legged Sheep should possess?"
At this moment, the two felt their bodies trembling instinctively; the black Two-legged Sheep before them gave them a fear that came from the soul.
Dawuqi nodded slowly, his right hand gripping his staff tightly, and suddenly added another sentence.
"Could the one that Maike encountered be this very Two-legged Sheep?"
"Very likely... Careful! He's coming!"
Seeing that Two-legged Sheep charging toward them, Diwanhu watched as runes continuously emerged from the staff in his hand and flew toward Vulkan.
After seeing those runes strike the black Two-legged Sheep, Diwanhu saw they did not leave a single scar, and did not even slow down the speed at which the opponent was charging toward them.
"Diwanhu, think of something! Make this Two-legged Sheep stop! I still need a little time!"
At this moment, Dawuqi was gripping his staff with both hands, and waves of Rune Power were emerging, currently converging into a Magic Array.
Diwanhu was already covered in sweat, muttering to himself.
"Stop? If I could make him stop, would I need you to tell me?"
Thinking of this, Diwanhu suddenly thought of something; a pale purple rune emerged from his staff and flew toward Vulkan. Upon colliding with Vulkan, the rune instantly shattered, becoming tiny specks of light around Vulkan.
Diwanhu quickly condensed more runes, but saw the black Two-legged Sheep's footsteps gradually come to a halt; only then did he slowly exhale and curse in a low voice.
"Where is this a Two-legged Sheep? It's clearly a monster wearing a Two-legged Sheep's skin!"
At this moment, Vulkan looked at the changes in his surrounding environment, stopped his footsteps, looked around with his reddened eyes, and muttered to himself.
"Is this some trick of the Aliens?"
Just at this moment, Vulkan discovered the scene in front of him changing; he had actually returned to the living room of his home. Under the warm lights, Yingxin was flipping through a book with a red cover, and his grandmother was sewing a huge garment to the side.
His father and Angron were nowhere to be seen in the scene, which suddenly gave Vulkan a bad premonition.
Just as he prepared to take two steps forward, he discovered the scene in front of him beginning to collapse; where Yingxin had originally been, Rifts appeared, and green arms reached out from the Rifts, grabbing toward Yingxin.
And his grandmother was grabbed and pulled into a Rift, falling into it without even leaving a sound.
Vulkan's heart sank violently; the illusion before him made him feel a surge of intense anger.
He knew this was an Alien trick, attempting to use hallucinations to disturb his mind.
However, even though he knew it was fake, the fear and powerlessness of losing his loved ones still surged into his heart like a tide.
Just at this moment, Vulkan heard an evil voice appear in front of him.
"Despair? Pain? This is..."
"Damn Aliens! You! You actually dare to play such petty tricks regarding this matter!"
Before that voice could finish speaking, Vulkan angrily interrupted it and charged forward quickly; as he moved, the scene in the vision also began to shatter gradually.
Vulkan raised the Power Hammer in his hand and swung it down fiercely toward the location where the voice had just come from; the sensation of the hammer striking the ground returned the surrounding scene to the battlefield.
Vulkan saw those two Aliens looking at him with expressions as if they had seen a ghost; without wasting words, he pulled the Power Hammer embedded in the earth out and charged toward the two Aliens again.
"How is this possible? It's only been 13 seconds! His anger broke the illusion?"
Diwanhu's face turned pale instantly; he had not expected this black Two-legged Sheep to easily shake off his illusion.
This was an illusion guided by his own memories!
He hurriedly waved his staff, attempting to launch a rune attack again, but Vulkan's speed was faster than his.
"Boom!"
Vulkan charged in front of Diwanhu, and the Power Hammer struck down with destructive force; Diwanhu didn't even have time to scream before he was smashed into the earth by the Power Hammer, accompanied by the sound of shattering bones, becoming a puddle of meat paste.
