Chapter 236: Chapter 225: The Indelible Mark of Fire!_3 Chapter 236: Chapter 225: The Indelible Mark of Fire!_3 However, this was their first time conducting a large-scale campaign deep into the forest, lacking experience. They kept devouring the isolated Mysterious Evil, constantly advancing what seemed like a problem-free action, yet they overlooked the allure emitted by this group of Awakeners.
The allure of over a hundred Awakeners was hardly inferior to that of tens of thousands of ordinary people.
Katrina’s brow furrowed slightly, sensing the earth trembling beneath her.
But it was already too late.
The hissing roars became more and more piercing as the scout Awakeners began to shout in panic, “So many, so many!”
“Light the revealing torches!”
Katrina ordered.
These were special items purchased from The Hearthfire, scarce in number, but now was the critical time when they needed to be used.
Torches were quickly lit, seeming to chase away some of the chill in the woods.
However, what presented itself before the Ultra Combat Unit was an even more chilling sight.
——From the stands of withered trees on either side, one after another hideous Mysterious Evil surged out, howling and rushing to attack.
It was like a black tide!
Especially the terrifying appearance visible to the naked eye that continuously assaulted their minds; their sanity began to slip away rapidly.
Katrina’s facade also turned slightly pale.
“Drink Calming Potions!”
“Hold them off! Shields to the front! Block the Mysterious Evil’s charge!”
“Use the disposable weapons against Mysterious Evil!”
One after another, their trump cards were thrown out.
But just within sight, there were hundreds of Mysterious Evil, including several enormous ones. If they were given time, gradually eliminating them wouldn’t be a problem; however, the risk of being wiped out was imminent as the Mysterious Evil swarmed in all at once!
How could this be!
Hold them off! Hold them off!
Katrina suddenly showed a hint of joy, “Hold on, our reinforcements will arrive soon!”
She believed that the strong from The Hearthfire would save them from this predicament!
What they needed to do at this moment was to fight fiercely, to show the mettle of the Ultra Combat Unit, and not to be looked down upon by The Hearthfire!
With this thought, Katrina’s life energy poured out continuously, and her Mysterious Whip danced in the air, momentarily suppressing several enormous Mysterious Evil with her own strength.
She even began to contemplate who from The Hearthfire’s reinforcements might be.
There were three known high-ranking members of The Hearthfire.
One was the girl who could command Mysterious Evil, as formidable as a Deity Demon, but Katrina did not believe this individual would come in person, as this battle had not yet warranted it.
The other two were Silver Bell and Mr. Pei.
Would it be these two, or some other unknown strong members of The Hearthfire?
As she pondered, the chopping sound of helicopter blades reached her ears.
The other members of the Ultra Combat Unit, upon hearing Deputy Commander Katrina’s words, saw a glimmer of hope amidst their despair and began to fight against the Mysterious Evil with gritted teeth.
“The reinforcements are close!”
“Hold firm, hold firm!”
“How many reinforcements are there, a hundred people?”
Boom——
Burst Arthur punched back a large Mysterious Evil, but immediately several more jumped at him. His keratinized skin was already bitten open in places, covered with wounds, and he was holding on purely by a tenacious will.
Then, he saw light.
A golden light! It descended from the heavens in the form of a palm print!
Accompanied by solemn and sacred chanting.
“Buddha——Light——Palm——!”
The golden palm print descended, landing on an enormous Mysterious Evil, engulfing its form in a booming roar amidst the explosion.
The earth cracked open inch by inch, fierce winds howled, and dust filled the air.
Amidst the spreading dust, a tall and muscular figure gradually became visible.
His skin had a bronze hue, and his arms bulged with muscles exploding like serpents twined around them.
Looking towards the surrounding Mysterious Evil, he was filled with a resolve to slaughter.
“Mysterious Evil, come meet your fate!”
One after another, figures fell from the sky.
A total of ten people!
They wore black coats with collars turned up partially concealing their faces, and matching capes billowed behind them. Carved on the backs of their capes, The Hearthfire’s sword emblem looked like a blazing, fierce inferno, illuminating the gloomy forest of Mysterious Evil!
The Hearthfire’s temporary combat team had arrived!
They plunged into the Mysterious Evil horde, slashing out with their blades, fists exploding with force, lightning flashing.
This kind of fearless bravery and grandeur deeply shocked the Ultra Combat Unit members present.
It was as if what stood before these people weren’t ferocious and terrifying Mysterious Evil, but prey eagerly awaited to be claimed.
Especially that robust figure.
In his presence, mountains shattered!
The earth split open!
Mysterious Evil burst apart!
Standing more than three meters tall, the bronze figure cracked a smile, his hands radiating a faint golden light as they seized an enormous Mysterious Evil.
Rip——!
The massive monster’s body was torn asunder, its blood and flesh scattering across the sky.
Against the backdrop of golden light and spattered blood and flesh, this figure seemed both divine and demonic.
And behind him, the fluttering cape with a downward-pointing fiery orange sword seemed like an unceasingly burning passionate flame, forever etching itself into the hearts of the Ultra Combat Unit warriors present.
Among the scattered limbs and remains, ten figures stood upright, capes billowing.
This was an indelible mark.
The mark of The Hearthfire warriors.
