Monarch of Evernight - Chapter 1210

Chapter 1210: 1210

Chapter 1210: Invincible

The gunship fell down into the fortress . This was an air-to-ground gunship that had been reinforced in the neutral lands, but it couldn’t take a single hit from the fortress' main cannon . The projectile merely brushed the airship, but the impact took away half the vessel .

Fortunately, the main cannon began turning around without firing the next shot . The downed airship crew scattered in all directions while the battlecruiser’s main cannon began firing at the fortress’ turrets . The other gunships also fired with all their might, quickly overwhelming the counterattack from below .

The werewolves had probably never faced such a fierce aerial assault . The firing range and angle of their cannons were somewhat limited . They could pose a threat to the gunships but couldn’t even reach the battlecruiser . Within moments, they were reduced to a miserable burning state .

Qianye cleared out all the werewolves on the surface level of the main cannon tower . However, the massive turret was actually half-buried in the base structure . This so-called base was a big fortification in and of itself .

Qianye found the entrance leading in . The steel doors had been bolted shut from the inside, but that was no problem for him . The door was immediately warped as he grabbed the handles and pulled hard on them, tearing them off entirely .

Qianye then reached into the opening and exerted force once again . Following a shout, strength poured out of his body as he dragged the steel door from the wall—one that was several tons in weight—revealing the dark passage beyond .

A faint screen of light lit up around him as he walked into the passage .

Soon after turning a corner, several werewolves suddenly appeared and began firing at Qianye .

The sheer amount of origin bullets fired at him from such a close distance was on par with the force of an origin cannon . However, the dozens of bullets only dimmed his defensive barrier somewhat and couldn’t break it .

While the werewolf knights were stunned, Qianye passed through their midst and headed deeper into the fort . The werewolf knights fell down clasping their necks; they didn’t even know how the enemy had attacked .

Qianye walked along the passage, investigating every room along the way until he had visited the energy room, machine room, ammunition room, etc . By the time he could no longer find any more enemies, the entire base structure had gone quiet .

Qianye walked into a large hall at the bottom where one of its roller-shutter doors led to an opening in the fortress . Through it, he could see dark race soldiers running about frantically, occasionally flung into the air by a cannon shell .

Qianye walked casually through the fortress with his hands behind his back, almost as though he was taking a stroll in his backyard . He was no longer interested in interfering with fights between ordinary soldiers . All he did was save his mercenaries in passing if they were in danger .

The current battle was an overwhelming victory for them . The dark races were greater in number, but their equipment was more than just a few generations older compared to the decked-out elite squads . Additionally, most dark race soldiers were dying from the bombardment . They were probably never trained to fight against air raids since their evasion was often ineffective and, at times, even hastened their demise . The small number of experts who did counterattack failed to do so properly .

Qianye wasn’t just roaming aimlessly . He would move in whichever direction he could sense the aura of an expert . In the blink of an eye, one viscount and three barons had fallen to his blade .

The dark races were numerous, and there were stray bullets flying everywhere . Even Qianye’s origin barrier would ripple from time to time, let alone ordinary soldiers . Yet another titled expert collapsed before Qianye . He had killed the enemy barehanded without releasing his domain, but for a split second, he could sense the enemy’s willpower drop sharply . The decline was so sudden that it felt abnormal . This gave him an idea—he released his suppressive might without holding back in the slightest, drowning half the fortress with the terrifying aura of a glorious marquis .

Countless dark race soldiers, regardless of race or rank, were overcome by a deep sense of fear from the depths of their bloodline . That was terror born of the darkness origins, an instinct every dark race member was born with .

In the blink of an eye, all resistance disappeared from half the fortress . Almost all dark race soldiers lost the will to fight, throwing down their weapons and scattering in all directions .

This feeling wasn’t bad at all . Qianye stood firmly, enjoying the taste of complete dominance, when he felt a sharp pain from the back of his head .

He turned around at lightning speed to find a physical bullet flying quietly toward his forehead!

At that very moment, Qianye saw the intricate structure of the projectile and the mottled black color mixed into its grey . This was an origin bullet containing a large amount of black titanium, a powerful weapon for killing human experts .

The origin bullet blasted Qianye’s origin barrier, causing the shield to erupt with light! The bullet forced the origin barrier to shrink steadily but simply couldn’t get through it .

It was at this moment that the bullet exploded, its outer shell breaking into paper-thin shards that cut through the barrier . The core originally hidden inside the shell penetrated the barrier and made straight for Qianye’s forehead .

This was an armor-piercing round made specifically to penetrate origin power defenses and barriers . The design and craftsmanship were worthy of praise . Its price was probably extraordinary, and only elite snipers would be able to master its use .

The bullet became reflected in Qianye’s eyes, and soon afterward, its trajectory shifted away . The projectile barely brushed past his cheek when he reached out to grab it .

The bullet was so sharp and heavy that his palm was cut open slightly after catching it, and a drop of blood seeped out . With how poisonous black titanium was, the hand should’ve been crippled once there was a cut . Yet Qianye’s dark golden blood energy was far above black titanium in grade . There was no way it would fear the substance . After circulating his blood energy, a drop of grey blood squeezed out of the wound and he was fine thereafter .

Qianye tossed the bullet away and shook his head . He had just unleashed the aura of an ancient vampire, but this sniper was trying to use black titanium against him . Perhaps the sharpshooter couldn’t react quickly enough, or maybe he didn’t have any other bullet of the same grade . Then again, werewolves would have mithril bullets at best; there was no way they would have the human race’s extreme yang bullets .

Qianye was somewhat curious about this sniper since they were the first proper opponent since the assault began .

He looked up in the direction of the bullet and disappeared with a flicker . In his True Sight, he noticed a faint darkness origin power still lingering in the air .

Qianye appeared several hundred meters away, where he could see the street block down below . The sniper had fired from this location . The person should still be in the vicinity unless he had fled immediately without checking the results of his attack .

Snipers at this level were usually quite confident and most of them would want to witness the results of their shot . If this person possessed the same weakness, he would be startled after seeing Qianye’s strength as he caught the bullet . This momentary delay made it impossible for the sharpshooter to escape Qianye’s coverage . The street block below was a chaotic mess packed full of fleeing dark race soldiers . Not far away, two small mercenary squads were covering one another as they advanced through the buildings . Every tactical movement they made highlighted their teamwork and combat discipline . Such small squads would usually produce great results on the battlefield even if their individual strength was mediocre .

The mercenaries joining the ground battle added to the chaos . Adding to all that, Qianye had released his expert’s aura, but no one from the dark race side had stepped up to meet the challenge . Almost all dark race soldiers lost the will to fight—most of them were focused on fleeing for their lives, and only a small number offered actual resistance .

Qianye’s gaze landed on a certain dark race soldier—one that looked fairly mediocre in every way—pushing his way through the ordinary soldiers and toward the next street block .

Qianye landed right behind him and gave him a pat on the shoulder . “Good disguise, but doesn’t this come as a blow to your dignity?”

The dark race soldier turned back, his expression full of terror and shock . He pulled out his dagger and tried to stab Qianye in the abdomen . The attack looked extremely weak, no different from a rank-three fighter .

In Qianye’s eyes, however, he could see an extremely faint wisp of origin power dancing about in an erratic trajectory . If Qianye were to doubt his own judgment and become momentarily distracted, this mobile origin power would give the enemy a chance to escape .

“It’s no use . ” Qianye strengthened his grip . An indefensible pressure bore down upon the soldier, causing his knees to go weak and forcing him to the ground .

As the pressure came down onto him, the soldier finally cast away his disguise and resisted with great strength . How was a virtuous count to withstand Qianye’s slap? He still ended up slamming into the ground .

He said with a bitter expression, “Since you’ve discovered me, just do it . To die in the hands of a glorious marquis from a famed vampire clan is not a dishonor to my tribe . ”

“It’s good that you can think that way . ” Qianye raised his right hand with a nod, ready to end the sniper’s life .

A virtuous count sniper was too dangerous; even a marquis of ordinary strength might fall prey if he were careless . This person could not be left alive .

“Wait!” The sniper’s eyes were finally filled with terror .

Qianye’s palm hovered above the man’s head . “What do you have to say? Don’t tell me you want to surrender?”

The sniper smiled wryly, “Sire, we’re both nobles of Evernight . Why would you lead the humans to fight us? Even if that’s the case, in a war for the glory of darkness, captives are usually allowed to submit or pay ransom . This is the norm on Fort Continent . Even on the higher continents, similar rules apply if there’s no blood feud between the two parties . There’s never been anyone like you who kills without even an explanation . ”

Qianye chuckled . “Look closely, I’m no Evernight noble!”

With that, a flame lit up at the tip of Qianye’s finger . The power of Venus Dawn produced a scorching effect as it illuminated the werewolf count’s face .

“Daybreak origin power!” The sniper was shocked out of his wits .
