Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 784: Section 779 - Protecting Family

A loud boom echoed in the sky, and a monster made a dazzling entrance, but this moment belonged to Little Sister Chen.

Her little hand shaped like a pistol, she aimed at the monster screeching and lunging towards her, and with a light command from her tiny mouth.

"Biu!"

A fierce beam of light shot out.

The monster collapsed with a boom, bisected from head to tail by the beam, its cross-section charred black, dotted with sparks.

Chen Meng, brimming with pride, blew on her fingertip, still looking unsatisfied.

At the entrance of a large supermarket, one sister held her ground, keeping a horde of monsters at bay.

Behind the glass doors, a group of commoners trembled, collectively watching Little Sister Chen perform miracles outside the main entrance.

Their gazes shifted upward to the top of Chen Meng's head, where a little bird with an entirely black plumage and a small plume on its head cocked its little head cheerfully hopping about.

"Jiu?"

For it, this was just a small scene.

The little fellow didn't care about the ridiculous poses the monster beneath its claws tried to strike; it simply killed any creature it encountered, disregarding their origins, annihilating them all with a deadly light.

The half-street outside the supermarket was haphazardly filled with the bodies of monsters, no fewer than fifty in number. The laser, powered by the magic of the Sixth Rank of the Human Order, had a power output, more accurately, quite remarkable.

As a special form of light, lasers, whether in destructive capacity or in versatility, are extraordinarily powerful. Theoretically, their power has almost no upper limit, naturally breaking the restrictions of rank.

Compared with the distant sounds of gunfire, explosions, and the wails of police, fire, and ambulance sirens, the area around the large supermarket was eerily quiet.

Suddenly, darkness fell from the sky, and fierce winds rose as a massive figure descended from above.

"What, what the heck is that! Is it the BOSS?"

Upon seeing a horrifying giant beast enter her field of vision, the previously unstoppable Chen Meng nearly peed herself.

How frightening, she didn't even bother to look and just raised her hand.

"Eat my special killer move! BiuBiuBiuBiuBiuBiuBiuBiuBiuBiuBiuBiuBiu…"

Not a single beam appeared; Little Bird was on strike.

Little Sister Chen tried to act cool and ended up looking like a fool.

"Silly sister, what are you doing?"

A familiar voice entered her ears, and Chen Meng was stunned.

Second Brother?

When she looked up, however, she saw the horrifying giant beast almost upon her, scaring her so much that she squat down on the spot.

"Mother!~"

It was a terrible giant dragon, wait, why was there a giant dragon here, could it be that it's a monster shaped like a giant dragon, will tomorrow be the anniversary of my death?

Yu Chun's sister's series of actions just now, resembling those of Yu Chun, left Chen Xiao'er utterly speechless. Already a university student, how could she still be as childish as a kindergarten kid?

Standing on the back of the X-D-005 Giant Dragon-type Combat Mobile Armor, the "Dragon King" Assault-Type Combat Mobile Armor released a pair of air streams behind it and gently jumped down with a roar.

"You, you, you, don't come over! I'll have you know, I'm very dangerous!"

Chen Meng, like a little kitten with bared claws, apart from acting fiercely, posed no real threat, not even Little Jiu was helping her, revealing her true colors.

Not until the "Dragon King" Assault-Type Combat Mobile Armor opened its chest plate to reveal Chen Fei inside, looking helpless.

He had thought his little sister had awakened some special ability, but now it seemed she was just having a bout of adolescent delusions.

"Second Brother?"

The pale-faced Chen Meng was completely dumbfounded, seeing her Second Brother Chen Fei, rubbing her eyes, yes, it indeed was him!

Second Brother was playing with something increasingly high-tech, that giant dragon suddenly seemed benign.

She turned back and shouted through the glass door at her mother in the crowd, "Mom, it's Second Brother!"

"Second Brother, what is that thing?"

Standing among the crowd, her mother looked at the mechanical dragon outside, feeling very nervous, and carefully cracked the door open just a bit.

"It's a Combat Mobile Armor!"

Chen Fei gently broke free from the "Dragon King" Assault-Type Mobile Armor and opened the tightly closed glass doors.

Behind him, the X-D-005 Giant Dragon-type Combat Mobile Armor, under the control of the AI "Adam", constantly looked around like a living being, maintaining a vigilant state.

Chen Meng tentatively asked, "Second Brother, it's not really a dragon, is it?"

"You're thinking too much, this is a Conceptual Armament from Louis Industries, a mechanical product."

Chen Fei repeated himself once again, as more than one person mistook the X-D-005 for a Metallic Giant Dragon. If placed next to a real Metallic Giant Dragon, it definitely would make it hard for anyone to tell them apart.

"Tsk! Here I thought you had become a Dragon Knight, but you just got yourself a big toy."

Chen Meng looked disdainful.

Boys do love their fierce gadgets.

The historically knowledgeable Chen Fei smiled and said, "The era of the Dragon Knights is long gone. Modern warfare has modern tactics, who still needs Dragon Knights."

The Dragon Knights on Cangqiong Star were born out of the need for all races of Heavenly Order to participate in battles beyond the atmosphere, while the inner atmosphere was guarded by humans and dragons together; Dragon Knights were a special combat combination, similar to tanks and infantry cooperation.

As the threat of Parasitic Species vanished, so did the battlefields beyond the atmosphere, and the races of Heavenly Order withdrew to within the atmosphere. The Dragon Knights thus lost their purpose, and the Dragon Clan naturally abolished the ancient covenant, reclaiming all the Dragon Flutes.

Boom!—Boom!—Boom!—

Distant roars thundered one after another, and the army finally entered the urban area, commencing the ultimate cleanup battle.

That day, countless pieces of glass shattered throughout the city.

Harsh, strange screams grew closer as more monsters fled toward them.

"Quick, get inside, be careful not to get splattered with blood."

Chen Fei pushed Little Sister Chen, who still wanted to say something."

"Ah? Brother, be careful!"

Chen Meng obediently retreated into the supermarket's glass doors, waving to Chen Fei.

Although pretending to be brave, she still had some self-awareness.

With Second Brother here, all these monsters were merely easy pickings.

Adam: "2 o'clock direction, unidentified creatures, four heads, 100 meters away. Contact in 5 seconds."

Ten reconnaissance drones covered nearly half of the urban area, and the number of monsters scrambling within the city diminished rapidly before the naked eye.

Chen Fei immediately leaped back into the "Dragon King" Assault-Type Combat Mobile Armor and set up the Rail Sniper Cannon on the spot, the 5-meter acceleration track instantly charged.

The X-D-005 Giant Dragon-type Combat Mobile Armor emitted a threatening roar, attracting the attention of the monsters with simulated ecological habits and charged directly at them.

The artificial intelligence AI "Adam," having collected a large amount of bionic data from the Metallic Giant Dragon Iridium Lan, could independently control the Mechanical Dragon. Though unable to perform complex postures, it could still mimic basic pouncing and tearing movements vividly.

Whoosh!~

A 30 mm caliber Armor-Piercing Incendiary round whistled out, instantly creating a laser beam-like tracer effect.

The monster at the forefront was hit straight in the forehead, exploding into a fireball. Its entire head burst open like a grotesque, bloody flower.

The Mechanical Dragon collided head-on with another monster by its side, creating sparks and lightning. The two gigantic creatures tumbled into a pile on the spot, even disrupting the charging path of the remaining two monsters.

Whoosh!~

The second 30 mm caliber Armor-Piercing Incendiary round was fired, eliminating another monster.

Almost simultaneously, a Smart Combat Bomb whistled out.

A fierce explosion devoured the last monster.

At this moment, the Mechanical Dragon, too, had dismembered its opponent and, blood-soaked, ceased its motions, standing tall and maintaining a vigilant posture.

Within just about ten seconds, this sudden skirmish had abruptly come to a close.

"Hiss, hiss, Second Brother is so strong!"

Chen Meng, standing with her mother inside the glass door, kept drawing in breaths of cold air.

It wasn't just her; many people in the supermarket had seen it, and waves of astonished voices followed.

"Mom, is Second Brother really just a plane repairman?"

Chen Meng still found it hard to believe, looking towards her mother.

"How would I know!"

The mother, laden with bags of veggies and meat, rolled her eyes.

All she knew was that Xiao'er worked at the private military contractor's Aircrew Base repairing warplanes. How had he ended up playing with Combat Mobility Armor, and with so much weaponry and ammunition? Could there be any problem?

Within the loose internal policies of The First Sovereign, commoners were prohibited from possessing lethal weapons, and what Chen Fei displayed clearly exceeded the limits.

At the street's end, a sudden torrent swept through, with a dozen monsters rolling helplessly in the surging waves, their scales flickering intermittently among the relentless surf.

Adam: "2 o'clock direction, unidentified creatures, thirteen heads, 200 meters away, spotted the Magical Beast 'Sky Dragonfish' approaching, expected contact in 15 seconds."

The Mechanical Dragon adopted a battle-ready posture as if facing a formidable enemy.

"'Adam', stay alert, the Sky Dragonfish is one of ours, no, one of our monsters."

There was only one Sky Dragonfish in the city, and Chen Fei was not unfamiliar with it. It must be Yu Dajiang, the Director of the Urban Monster Management Center.

Surprisingly, it had managed to escape the confines of its giant tank and swim onto the streets.

Truly deserving of a Ninth Rank in the Human Order among monsters.

The torrent dragged the monsters along, unnaturally making a sharp turn towards the supermarket, with the two-meter long Silver Scaled Giant fish riding the wind and breaking the waves.

A screen with a keyboard floated up to Chen Fei; the keyboard was tapped by an invisible force, creating a cracking sound, and a line of text appeared on the screen.

"Chen Fei, what are you doing here?"

The giant fish opened and closed its mouth, its bowl-sized emerald eyes gazing at Chen Fei.

Not all magical beasts could speak, and the Sky Dragonfish was one such species. However, with auxiliary devices available, communication wasn't hindered, as textual communication was one of the primary modern methods, and no one found it unusual.

Chen Fei straightforwardly said, "My mother and sister are shopping here. I came over after dealing with that 'black cloud,' planning to take them back."

More rapid clicks followed.

"Was that 'Dragon Slayer Missile' yours?"

The explosive visual effect of the "Dragon Slayer Missile" always stood out, making it hard to go unnoticed.

Daring to deploy a "Dragon Slayer Missile" in the urban area showed recklessness that stretched to the heavens.

"My trump card tucked away at the bottom of the box!"

Chen Fei shrugged his shoulders, acknowledging that some explanations would be needed later. However, given the urgency of the situation, there was no other choice.

When the time came, he could pin it on the Silan Royal Family or Louis Landon the magnate, as there were plenty willing to take the blame.
