Dimensional Codex System I M Really Not A Cultist
/ Dimensional Codex System: I'm really not a cultist! Chapter 494
Chapter 494: Chapter 493: Chaos Demon Beast Lord Chapter 494: Chapter 493: Chaos Demon Beast Lord “Huff… Huff…”
The distant fog began to churn, and soon, a huge figure emerged from the mist. At the same time, a series of bright red warnings quickly appeared in front of Fang Zheng.
“Unknown energy fluctuations detected: toxic gases are rapidly spreading and will reach the battlefield in three minutes.”
I didn't expect this. Last time it was the light beam type, this time it's the poison fog type? What's next? Am I playing with Little Fairies here?
Hearing Iona's report, Fang Zheng also helplessly rolled his eyes, then looked ahead. At the same time, Iona's voice rang out again.
“That's not fog, captain,” she said.
“Hmm?”
“According to radar detection, there are life signs…”
As she spoke, Iona reached out her hand, and as she moved, the screen in front of Fang Zheng rapidly transformed. Then he saw on the screen, near the huge red life signs, countless tiny red dots. As Iona continued her actions, the screen zoomed in even further–only then did Fang Zheng see that those red dots were each the size of a falcon, and they were moths!
“No wonder the Sanctuary couldn't deal with these Chaos Creatures, their sheer numbers are enough to sicken anyone.”
Looking at the scene in front of him, Fang Zheng's expression wasn't much better. He could see those giant moths constantly flapping their wings, and countless scales fell from their wings with their movements, forming something similar to fog. Although, according to Fang Zheng's biological knowledge, moth scales are generally non-toxic, the detection on his screen clearly indicated these were not so “harmless.”
“Immediately notify Wells, have the ground troops retreat backward, Rodney will take the main attack, Terror and Dark Realm will provide support, and the Unicorn is to be ready to take action on my command!”
Fang Zheng promptly issued his orders, then he stood up from his chair and walked forward, looking through the screen at the battlefield ahead. In front of him, the swarm of moths had crossed the mountains like a cloud layer and was swooping towards the fleet.
Unlike the chaos of previous Chaos Monsters, Fang Zheng could tell that these toxic moths were clearly organized and led. If he had to make a comparison, seeing the moths reminded him of watching fish schools in ocean documentaries, where hundreds of small fish swam together in the sea, able to turn and pivot as if they shared a single brain, almost flawlessly.
The toxic moths arrayed themselves in a triangular formation similar to that of a creature's head, nodding up and down. From a distance, it looked indeed like a giant creature.
Rodney's Paladin roared through the battlefield like a metallic beast charging into the swarm of toxic moths.
The next moment, Fang Zheng saw ripples quickly emerging on the massive body of Rodney's ship–clearly, it was being attacked by the swarm of moths. However, just these moths, the size of falcons, were unable to break through the Paladin's Klein Field.
Conversely, Rodney didn't have a good way to attack these toxic moths either; they were simply too small. If Rodney were to fire its main cannon, that would indeed be the literal equivalent of using high-caliber artillery to shoot mosquitoes.
Fortunately, Rodney wasn't completely unprepared.
“——————”
In an instant, Fang Zheng saw countless dazzling lights burst from Rodney at the center, radiating out in every direction. In that moment, Rodney shone like a brilliant sun, erupting in a spectacular and dazzling radiance in the dark sky.
Dimensional bombs!
This was one of the weapons Fang Zheng had equipped Rodney with. These dimensional bombs had a relatively lower yield compared to standard missiles and bombs, but their advantage lay in their ability to cover a large area with a 360-degree range, with no blind spots. They might be less effective against cosmic warships of the similar type, but they were just right for combating these toxic moths.
Rodney's three-dimensional bombs had a range even bigger than the swarm of poisonous moths. In the blink of an eye, Fang Zheng saw a large chunk of the moth swarm hollowed out, as if a giant mouth had bitten off nearly two-thirds of a loaf, leaving only a short end behind. At the same time, a huge shadow emerged from within the swarm of poisonous moths.
It was a gigantic mutated moth, appearing as a merger of a fly and a moth, with four pairs of fuzzy, disgusting-looking limbs constantly moving, and its wings behind it slowly flickering, even displaying a pattern of black with white edges–of course, to Fang Zheng, it looked more like the face of some creature.
As for its head… well, Fang Zheng felt the shock was no less than looking at a fly's head under a microscope.
The enormous Moth Lord flapped its wings, generating howling gales powerful enough to overturn a small town, and even ships on the high seas would hardly be spared. However, in front of a warship designed to withstand cosmic storms, the Moth Lord's combat effectiveness was nullified.
“Boom!!!”
Soon, dazzling beams of light shot out from both sides of Rodney, striking the Moth Lord. Accompanied by the blinding explosion and flashes, the massive Moth Lord instantly screamed and retreated. Its wings were burnt black; one could even see gaping holes, and the limbs on its body were also badly damaged. It seemed that in Rodney's strike just now, the Moth Lord had been severely injured.
“Damn!”
But seeing this scene, Fang Zheng could not help but exclaim.
“How tough exactly is this thing?”
If beforehand Fang Zheng did not have a clear understanding of the power of a Demon Beast Lord, facing this Moth Lord, he had more or less found an answer. Not to mention anything else, its body toughness was incredibly high. Rodney was a battleship, and although it had not activated Fortress Mode, in the Sea Mist World, it almost instantly killed Warships of Sea Mist, yet now in the Main World it was just badly damaged against a single Moth Lord?
This thing was tougher than Warships of Sea Mist, can you believe it?
Now Fang Zheng finally understood why last winter the Sanctuary had deployed three Legendary Powerhouses to withstand the Demon Wave. Facing such creatures, any existence below Legendary was basically useless, no matter how many came, they were merely delivering themselves to slaughter.
Although Knight Commander Wells had told him that the Demon Beast Lords were so powerful because they innately possessed a Chaos Force Field, Fang Zheng had experienced this: in the White Bone Wasteland, he had fought face-to-face with a Child of Chaos summoned by the Myriad Deaths Society.
At that time, around the Child of Chaos, all Order Power had been nullified, and even Fang Zheng's Dimensional Codex System had “gone offline.” Now it seemed, this Moth Lord also possessed a similar power.
“Iona, can you calculate the actual power of Rodney's bombardment just now?”
“Certainly, Captain.”
Upon hearing Fang Zheng's command, Iona nodded slightly, then stretched out her hand, and quickly, with Iona's movement, the light rings surrounding her started to expand and rotate.
“…calculation complete, it seems the target possesses some kind of Shield Field that can negate energy attacks; only about one-fifth of Rodney's bombardment actually impacted the target's body.”
So, this damned Demon Beast Lord essentially had a permanent damage reduction buff?
Upon hearing Iona's report, Fang Zheng also shook his head, not having expected these creatures to be more troublesome than imagined.
But that was as far as it went.
“Order Terror and Dark Realm, full power bombardment, assist Rodney in taking down that thing.”
