Human Light Umbrella

During the walk, Artemis also watched the holographic screen imaged in her right eye, paying attention to the situation in Poulton.

From the start of the second siege operation to now, the rainforest area where the ghost-faced beasts gather has almost been emptied, but more and more abnormal reports have also begun to emerge following the death of the ghost-faced beasts.

For example, the spontaneous combustion of the rainforest, or the sudden death of animals and so on.

These anomalies all indicate that the door to reality in a different space is being opened, after all, the ghost-faced beasts that were sacrificed are about to die.

It didn't take long.

Artemis and the others have come to another area.

This is not an open and open area, and there are no ghost-faced beasts standing in a sacrificial array. What are there are just camouflaged fortifications covered with branches and dead wood.

The entrance gate is open.

The plasma machine guns and artillery installed inside the fortress also showed no signs of attacking Artemis and the others, and there seemed to be no ghost-faced beasts in charge.

Come to the edge of the entrance.

Artemis used the power armor's pulse scan to try to analyze the situation inside the fortress.

Soon, the screen in front of the right eye gave the scan result, showing that the interior of the fort is unobstructed, and there is a huge underground space under the fort.

It seems that the ghost-faced beasts used the short half month of landing in the rainforest to unleash their race's construction potential, unexpectedly digging out such a large-scale space.

At the same time, the pulse scanning detected a large number of biological reactions in the space.

Artemis shared the discovery here, and waved her left hand forward, signaling the five gray knights beside her to enter the fortification together.

Walking in the dark and gloomy inner passage, the group of people could sometimes hear the cry of "Woo...Woo" and the miserable cry of "Ah--!".

Not whispers in the ear.

It's a real sound.

The air was filled with an unbearable rancid stench, which made Artemis look disgusted.

According to the best route given by the scanning results, they arrived at the southernmost entrance and exit of the underground space in about 2 minutes.

Get out of the passage.

The first thing that catches the eye is a large Greek-style temple located in the center of the huge space, located on a low hill.

It's just that the building materials of the temple are mostly purple and pink metals, and they are the metal armor of the old-fashioned armored units of the Covenant Empire.

In half a month, the ghost-faced beasts were unable to find enough marble or other stone materials to build temples for Pallas, which they believed in.

But being able to dig out an underground space about the size of ten football fields within this period of time, it can be judged that the ghost-faced beast can do almost any "great cause" in order to please the "god".

From the inside to the outside of the temple, there is a faint blue light, and under the low hill where the temple is located, there are many ghost-faced beasts with completely deformed bodies, distorted faces, and in a state of madness.

They knelt down towards the temple, repeating something in their mouths;

"My God will lead us back to our pilgrimage."

"The empire will stand again under the protection of my god."

Wait for the words about "My God".

Hearing this, it was not difficult for Artemis to guess that Pallas used this group of ghost-faced beasts to rebuild the strong emotions and thoughts of the Covenant Empire to carry out corruption.

No deliberate ordering is required.

Wielding Nemesis power halberds, the five Gray Knights rushed into the delirious herd of ghost-faced beasts in order to save the ammunition they carried.

all of a sudden.

The Gray Knight began to carry out the physical purification procedure in an orderly manner.

And this group of ghost-faced beasts who thought they were chosen by Pallas immediately reacted, shouting "For the covenant!", "For my god!" and other battle cries, trying to compete with the five gray knights.

But it turns out...

Even though they received Pallas' whispered blessing, in front of the gray knights, this group of ghost-faced beasts only had body and soul, cut and burned by the power halberd of Nemesis.

What's more, there is also the chief instructor of the Gray Knights present.

In order to save ammunition, Artemis also attached the bolt gun to the outer armor of his right leg, and drew out the moonlight scimitar with a blade wrapped in a clear green light with his right hand.

"Roar!"

"Die! Weak human!"

But before she could charge, two ghost-faced beasts surrounded her, and one of them raised a gravity hammer and hit her head-on.

In an instant.

Artemis reacted extremely quickly, first dodged to the left to avoid the smashing blow, and then twisted the dancing moonlight scimitar on his wrist, taking advantage of the opportunity to cut the ghost-faced beast holding the gravity hammer in half.

Immediately afterwards, he made a fist with his left hand towards the upper body of another ghost-faced beast, making a seemingly random swing...

"Bang!!" sounded like a watermelon cracking.

Chapter 289 "Home"... gone

Get rid of these two easily.

Artemis quickly rushed into the ghost-faced herd.

The scimitar in the right hand reaps the fallen.

Although the armor worn by some ghost-faced beasts has shields, they cannot resist the scimitar slashing full of spiritual energy, and the strength of Artemis' swing is enough to "smoothly" cut the body of the ghost-faced beasts, which is far more efficient than having stand energy weapon.

at this time.

Artemis stretched out his left foot and tripped a ghost-faced beast, stepped forward and turned around, stepped on the breastplate of the ghost-faced beast with his right foot, and pressed down...

"puff!"

Smelly, rotten blood spurted out, and the upper body of the ghost-faced beast collapsed directly, dying instantly.

And all of this is just a gap that can't be blinked. .

A hunting god and five gray knights quickly wiped out all the ghost-faced beasts below the low hill.

Make sure nothing else survives.

A group of people gathered again, walked to the top of the low hill, moved forward steadily, and gradually approached the interior of the metal temple.

Enter the temple.

Come to the hall.

Artemis and the others discovered the source of the faint blue light, which was a slowly expanding vortex entrance created by a leap engine.

Or a portal.

This vortex-like portal is temporarily closed, but it has already begun to cause airflow fluctuations in the hall.

In front of the portal is a skinny ghost-faced beast with sunken eye sockets and eyes filled with blue light.

The moment it saw Artemis and the others walk into the hall of the temple, it spontaneously ignited uncontrollably, as if it had completed the last item of the ceremony, using itself as a key to completely unseal the portal.

Wait until that Brute is reduced to ashes.

"Huh~----!" The wind was strong, and the vortex intensified.

Artemis' white-haired ponytail also swayed with the violent airflow. She didn't care about her hairstyle, and immediately shared what happened in front of her to remind the Spartans and Gray Knights.

Just finished sharing.

The communication sent a reply from a crew member of the Full Moon: "Sir! Portal gates of the same size have been found in the rainforest of Poulton, and there are twelve of them so far!"

"Understood." Artemis made a judgment: "Notify the knights to rush to the portal and assist the friendly forces to deal with the incoming wave of demons."

"Got it." The crew member replied.

End the conversation.

The airflow gradually stopped, and the vortex of the portal also stopped expanding, and its diameter finally remained at about 25 meters.

The dim light dissipated and was no longer hazy.

I saw a clear blue sky at the end of the portal, and the surrounding environment seemed to be on the top of a certain mountain, with many buildings and a large and magnificent palace.

And in the square in front of the palace, there are twelve conspicuous statues.

The five gray knights were unfamiliar with the scenes at the other end of the door, but they were very familiar to Artemis, even...kind.

Because it is almost the same as the Temple of Olympus.

The twelve statues are the God King Zeus holding the divine weapon "Thunder", the God Queen Hera wielding the "Scepter", the Sea God Poseidon holding high the "Trident", Hades wearing the "Pluto Armor"...

They are the twelve main gods of Olympus, including the god of hunting who used to draw the bow.

Of course, all kinds of memories and emotions of Artemis are fleeting, and now she is focusing on the seemingly inexhaustible "army of demons".

"Roar~---!"

The roar of wild beasts echoed throughout the temple hall, breaking the short silence.

More than a dozen "owls" rushed out of the portal first.

These "owls" have a wingspan of five meters, with layers of blue, purple and pink wings, asymmetrical and irregular multiple eyes, and jagged talons.

Immediately afterwards, there was a wave of beasts on the ground covered with gradient scales that looked like wolves and tigers.

"Get rid of this group of bastards!"

Artemis roared and sprinted quickly, clutching the moonlight scimitar tightly in his right hand, taking a grenade from behind his waist with his left hand, snapping the ring with his index finger, snapping the safety with his thumb, and throwing it forward without using much force.

"Howl!"

Not knowing what to think, a wolf and tiger suddenly jumped up, opened its mucus-flowing mouth, and accurately swallowed the grenade in mid-air.

Subsequently.

"Boom~!"

The explosion shattered the wolf-tiger beast, which was thinking of dogs picking things up, into several pieces from the inside to the outside, and at the same time sprayed a dense fog of water from the full moon to the surrounding area.

in a blink.

This full moon grenade dedicated to the gray knight successfully created a vacuum zone in the beast tide, corroding the wolf and tiger beasts of the "native creatures" in different spaces, and the effect was immediate, and the efficiency was much faster than dealing with the ghost beasts in the real universe .

It can be seen that the wolf tiger that swallowed the grenade in its belly wanted to use itself to reduce the killing range of the grenade.

Its behavior did play a role, otherwise the grenade exploded in an open area, it would only "purify" more of its kind.

At the same time as the grenade exploded.

Artemis was already "going upstream", repeatedly waving and slashing with her right hand, and stretched out her left hand to catch the wolf and tiger rushing towards her, twisted her neck hard, and then flicked it at will.

After freeing her left hand, she twisted her waist, took off the bolt gun attached to the outer armor of her right leg, and continued to harvest the demons gushing out from different dimensions.

So did the five Gray Knights.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!"

The melodious gunshots unique to the Bolt series sounded, representing the uninterrupted "performance" of the demon's body being cracked, exploded and corroded.

"Aw...! Roar...!"

With the wailing resounding in the hall of the temple, Artemis and the five gray knights are like a flood dam, forcibly resisting the torrent of demons.

"Boom~!"

At this moment, at the entrance of the temple, three groups of space distortions that were visible to the naked eye appeared.

Immediately afterwards, the moment the distortion ended, three more gray knights teleported here to join the battle to "purify" the demon.

The Holy Shield Terminator currently equipped by the Gray Knights, together with the Glory Guards of each legion, have completed a "major update" one after another, and have a short-distance teleportation device.

14 years ago.

In name, the research was led by Sui Bian, but in fact it was the individual equipment of the Chronos Corps exchanged by Sui Bian. After the company's researchers simplified the project, the transmission device could be incorporated under the Terminator's power backpack.

just now.

The three gray knights arrived here, and it didn't take long before they ushered in three Spartan squads who had been sweeping nearby.

A total of eighteen Spartans equipped with Thor's Hammer Mark 5 (ark-[-]) ran through the passage, rushed to the underground space and came to the temple hall, using absolute firepower output to suppress the wave of demons.

In addition to the standard .75cal bolt rifle, one of the heavy squads has a 1.0cal bolt machine gun and a handheld plasma cannon.
