These Familiars Are Strange-Chapter 224: Gunned down

Once again, they were pushed back by what hit them.

Even though they had braced themselves to stand their ground, they just weren't able to stop themselves when they were hit with the force of these things.

The Abyss Demons gritted their teeth as they started to bleed, but there were traces of confusion in their eyes.

They had been on guard the entire time and had made sure to watch carefully for whatever it was that came at them, but they just weren't able to see what it was that hit them.

Even with them focusing on watching out for it, they just couldn't see it.

It was as if this thing that hit them was invisible…or it was too small for them to see.

After being hit by these small things, the Abyss Demons knew that gathering together was the wrong choice. When they gathered like this, all they were doing was creating a larger target for the enemy.

What they should have done is spread out so that they were harder to hit.

As such, the Abyss Demons suddenly let down their guards without a single word and started moving in different directions. All of the Abyss Demons were moving away from each other, as if they were avoiding the plague.

They just didn't want anyone near them.

"Not bad." I couldn't help praising them in my mind.

They made a quick decision and this decision that they made really was the best one in this situation.

It was just that even if they made the best decision, it wasn't as if it was going to end well.

With a single thought, the skeletons moved closer.

The skeletons had already been moving forward to surround the Abyss Demons, but this time they moved in to prevent the Abyss Demons from escaping.

The Abyss Demons knitted their brows when they saw this, but they didn't panic. After all, they knew that each of them was stronger than these skeletons, so it wasn't as if they would be hurt from fighting with these skeletons.

Only they soon realized the mistake that they made.

Even though the skeletons weren't strong enough to actually stop them, they were strong enough to stall them for just long enough that they were hit again.

The skeletons didn't even swing their swords, they just dived at them to stop them. Without a single care for their own wellbeing, the skeletons jumped at them to be smashed to pieces.

But since they were skeletons, it wasn't as if being smashed to pieces meant the end for them. Instead, once their bones fell to the ground, there was this power that drew those bones together and reformed the skeletons once more.

At the same time, it seemed that there were more bones that were coming out of the ground.

When one skeleton was smashed, it wasn't just one skeleton that reformed.

It was two skeletons that formed after they reformed.

With the way that they were reforming, it seemed like they were multiplying.

And it wasn't just once or twice that they did this, they seemed to continue to multiply when they were smashed apart.

The Abyss Demons really didn't know what to do when they saw this.

After all, they just couldn't break free of the skeletons when they kept reforming like this and they were being sniped by something in the distance. At the same time, the more skeletons that there were, the more it seemed like they were being pushed back.

The skeletons worked with each other to hold the Abyss Demons down and with their combined power, they were actually turning the Abyss Demons into targets.

Eventually, there was the first Abyss Demon that fell to the invisible attacks.

It wasn't able to live after a direct shot to the head.

This shot went right through their eyes and into their brain, causing their eyes to turn dim. Once they had been shot in the head like this, the Abyss Demon crumpled to the ground.

All of the other Abyss Demons had ugly looks on their faces since they knew that it was just a matter of time before they would face the same fate as that Abyss Demon.

There were some that started to go crazy once they realized this, as they released all of their energy without any hesitation. It seemed like they were going berserk with the way that they fought, like they were planning on not leaving a single bit of energy left.

They were planning on fighting to the very end.

It was just that none of that worked.

"Ah!" Pained cries of regret rang out when those ones that chose to go berserk were also shot in the head and fell to the ground. They just couldn't break free and were killed in the end.

But there were some that were smarter than the others.

They realized that just going berserk wasn't the way to do this.

If they lost control of themselves, then all that would happen is that they would be trapped like the others.

They had to think of a different way.

That different way was that they grouped together and combined their power to create a path. They were working together with one another to mow down the skeletons, which actually worked.

Even with the skeletons working together, their combined power was just too much for the skeletons to withstand.

Only it still didn't work.

"It's time to test that." I said after seeing the Abyss Demons group up like this.

Iris and Wang Rong nodded in agreement before turning to look at the set of living armour behind us.

This was different from the other sets of living armour that were holding guns.

This one had a large cannon that was mounted on its shoulder.

And that large cannon was aimed at the group of Abyss Demons that was charging through the skeletons.

"Fire."

"Boom!"

A large explosion fell onto the group of Abyss Demons and their charge was stopped.
