Chapter 229 Chapter 229 This is too easy.
A group of six was gathered inside an elevator. They were only 1 of the supernatural teams deployed to strategic parts of the country's defense.
"We get to kick some demon's balls at last! And not in those fucking temples but out here for a change. Let's do it!" A woman was thrilled to take this challenge head on.
"It's just sad that we can't take Leah in this quest." Another team member commented. The party was supposed to be 7 and they have all farmed and grinded their levels at the same time.
In the 4 months since the start of the world change of heroes and villains, this team called The Mad Dogs has set records across the globe in terms of rankings inside the dungeons.
They were definitely among the best teams at play. But with just the 6 of them this time, it would totally create some minor problems for them.
"Zip it. We have our orders. And besides, Leah feels worse than the rest of you combined." The leader of the group was his usual gruff self.
"Boss, isn't it too dangerous for us to go out with an incomplete team? I feel naked without Leah." A man could not help but complain since Leah was a vital part of the team.
She had the ability called Ultra Perception that was absolutely key for the rest to survive during quests inside the magical temples.
Without her, it would be truly like losing one useful eye in combat.
"You'll survive, Ricky. You're the most slippery person among us here." The leader gave a rare smile to the man who moaned and whined for his safety.
"But boss... I think that if we sh..." Ricky had wanted to say more but he was stopped by his boss's raised palm. Ricky looked at the big hand of his leader and gulped in fear.
He knew how many monsters had fallen victim to that very hand.
"We are here. And we will do our job. Not buts and ifs." The leader's severe voice echoed loudly in the elevator.
There was an awkward silence for a breath or two before the leader decided to erase this bad air around them with a bad joke.
"You have my permission to run and escape alone if you see the 5 of us already dead or dying on the ground."
The leader laughed heartily while the rest of his team members could only curse their luck today. This was certainly not a good omen at all.
Alas, no more words were to be said as the elevator finally opened to usher them towards the helipad.

Approximately 30 minutes later.
"BOOM!"
"BOOM!"
"BOOM!" The noise was loud in the air but that has definitely not muted the scene of carnage below them. There were mangled remains of misshapen monsters in all directions.
At least the populace was safe for now due to the concentrated effort of the military.
There were thousands of troops on the ground and an array of tanks to slow the onslaught of monsters into the city nearby.
Up above was of course a formation of fighter jets that rained down further destruction into the ranks of the dungeon overflow. It was a ghastly scene indeed!
"Time to do what we are paid for." The leader of the Mad Dogs said and he was the first one to step out from the helicopter.
Behind him, his teammates followed and everyone of them embraced the ugliness of war in but mere seconds.
* * *
"Interesting. The heart of the brave is truly very surprising indeed." Our bored gamer said as he was busy looking at the live reports on the television.
The supernatural men and women had captured most of his attention as these gifted individuals tried to fight off the rotting cancer that wanted to devour the world's people and civilization.
Clark was of course not that heartless to let this come to pass. He had assigned his Blood Twin to safeguard any defenseless man, woman, or child, and teleport them into safety.
Even the poor animals were spared from the mass of crawling scourge in the land.
Alas, what our good gamer could not hinder was how the landscape was destroyed by the battle and it was quite sad to see that a few forests burned in the engagement of military forces against monsters.
"Hmmm... I guess I should make an entrance soon enough." Clark rubbed his chin when he saw that several stronger monsters were coming out from the unexplored dungeons.
Any moment from now and the barricade of men and machines would be completely overrun into oblivion.
"Let me see how cool I can be if I take a complete transformation." Our good gamer was thrilled to do this test.
He took a deep breath and one second later, he was gone from his palace in Royal Vista City.

"Are you okay, boss?" Ricky asked his team leader. He was full of sweat and blood. The latter was not his of course. It was those of his victims in the fray.
"You're still here. Who would have thought?" Sid replied in surprise. This man was of course none other than the leader of the Mad Dogs. He only got one arm remaining.
There were bite marks in his chest area also. No doubt his attacker would have wanted to eat him whole in process. Luckily for Sid, he only paid with one arm in exchange for his life.
"Don't talk, boss." A woman chastised in between. She was busy speaking an unknown language and these alien words brought about a strange healing unto the damaged flesh of Sid.
It was slowly regenerating. At this speed, it would have taken her one month before she could regrow the missing limb of her team leader.
But she was of course not foolish to do that. The woman just needed to seal the wounds completely in order to prevent blood loss and further complications.
"You sure are nasty today, Alisa." Sid noticed.
"This was a mistake! If Leah was here, this would have never happened in the first place! She would have seen that damn animal on the ground and not get the chance to be close to us!"
Alisa, the healer, was angry. She thought that whoever let Leah stay was absolutely stupid.
"You can't blame them. This is the first time we have encountered a monster like that thing also. A burrower."
Sid shook his head as he recalled his brief yet deadly encounter with the creature. A few moments more and he pulled himself from the dire memory.
He looked around and saw the struggles of his team. One was throwing fireballs left and right. Another was commanding his uncanny summons into the fray.
And the third was busy shooting fast piercing and sometimes exploding arrows into the distance. This was their team makeup.
A tank, a healer, a runner, a walking trap detector, flame magician, archer, beast summoner. It was good in the early stages of the conflict.
Alas, it was proven to be futile in the end. The monsters just kept on getting stronger until The Mad Dogs could no longer engage in close combat.
To get near those monsters at this late stage was absolutely suicide. In the end, they could only suffer a slow strategic retreat over and over again.
It was good that the multiple rocket launchers still worked miracles to stop the overflow. At least for a time.
"BANG!"
"BANG!"
"BANG!" The detonations of missiles from a combination of air and ground sources rocked the land into complete disarray.
It was lucky that aside from the ravenous bats at the beginning, there were no other flying creatures to assail them. If not, the outcome today would have been pretty different indeed.
But that did not mean that these land based monsters were easy to deal with. Their numbers alone were enough to smother any resistance to pieces.
Thus, the monster rush continued unabated. There were vast and varying ugly pictures of nightmares all around them, old and new ones, that Sid could only sigh in helplessness.
He hated this feeling. He did not know that it would only get worse in the next few minutes.
"BOOM!" A whole forest collapsed and an eerie silence arrived in their midst. The sea of monsters stopped moving as if to await something that was a whole lot bigger and nastier than all of them combined.
"LOOK!" A soldier shouted in fear. Behind the carnival of freaks was a lone giant that probably measured up to 200 meters or more.
He was a sorry form of a human being that was too unimaginable to conjure. It had 3 huge eyes, was naked, and had a big ginormous club on its hand.
The huge monster took another step and an earthquake rippled in all directions. It could be seen from this fact alone on how heavy this big 3 eyed monster really was.
"We're fucked." Sid heard Ricky's voice beside him. The man was ever the fatalist. But Sid would have to agree that this was absolutely a no man's land for all of them.
"BEEP!" A command was issued on the line.
"Boss..." Ricky called.
"I know." Sid nodded and replied. It was a recall order.
"Let's go." Sid added after a breath.
"What about them, boss?" Alisa whispered as she looked at the brave soldiers who were still left unmoving in their spots.
"They have their orders also." This was all Sid could say before quietly leaving the scene of combat.
"BANG!" The giant walked.
"BANG!" And one step closer to the end.
"BANG!" At the third note, The Mad Dogs was already high above the skies. Overlooking at the unfair confrontation between a giant and a mortal. But how could our bored gamer let this happen to his fellowmen?
"I have arrived to cleanse all things evil! Begone!" A voice that came from the heavens roared into the world.
Everything went dark as a huge draconic form slithered on the entirety of the planet.
Clark could no doubt expand in size more but that was already not helpful in any way, shape or form.
The dragon breathed out and an extreme heat descended in a flash. And all the monsters melted in an instant. They were just gone!
"Hmmm... Too easy." Clark's huge voice boomed once more. In humor this time around.
