Floating Island - Triple S Talent - Chapter 178

Chapter 178: China island: Laras arrived
Ugh…

The soldier who had asked earlier was thrown 30 meters, crashing into the rubble of a building that had been reduced to ruins. The lion-shaped alien lifted its head, displaying a wide, horrifying grin, as if relishing the destruction before it.

“Hahaha… pathetic! You will all die today!” it jeered, its voice echoing amidst the sounds of gunfire and fear-filled screams. The lion then charged at the man, ready to finish him off.

The man who had been thrown earlier struggled to lift his body. His vision was still blurry, unable to think clearly anymore. Looking forward, he saw his fellow soldiers still fighting the alien creature. Observing further, his eyes focused on the lion he had previously fought.

“Ahahaha…”

Hearing the man’s carefree laughter, the Chinese alliance soldiers glanced for a moment. They saw him laughing as if he was in the happiest moment of his life, despite the terrifying situation around him.

“Come on, let’s die together,” said the man, his eyes glowing with ferocity. He knew he couldn’t hold on any longer; his Tier 2 power, once a source of pride, seemed meaningless against the powerful lion-like creature.

“Die!” roared the lion-shaped creature, now airborne, its hands enveloped in a blue aura, its claws gleaming sharply.

As the lion shot toward him with incredible speed, the man who had been laughing earlier looked at it calmly. With a smooth movement, he pulled out a piece of paper from his storage space, ready to activate an explosive talisman. But suddenly, a terrifying scene unfolded before his eyes.

He witnessed the lion’s body being split into four parts, falling to the ground like delicate fragments. Not only that, after hitting the ground, the lion’s body was bombarded by waves of white light that turned it into dust, vanishing without a trace.

“What??? Who?” The man shouted internally, shocked and awed by the devastating attack. He hadn’t even seen the attack coming.

“WUOHH!”

His eyes fell on a figure with long hair, a delicate white gown, and a floating white cross hovering around her. Aside from him, there were also several others in black uniforms, appearing to be her subordinates.

“Miss Laras?” shouted a soldier from afar.

“Incredible… I thought the intelligence from headquarters was joking, but it turns out they really requested help from the World Market Trade alliance,” said a female soldier in awe. She occasionally glanced at Laras. As a woman, Laras was the pinnacle of power she knew.

Yes, it was Laras. She had arrived near Changdu City due to an active portal still present in the area. All the portals in the main city had been destroyed by the alien creatures.

Her gaze swept over the alien creatures attacking. From their appearance, it was clear they were beings with bloodline power cores. These aliens could transform into fierce beasts with terrifying strength, a unique ability from their bloodline power cores.

“Spread out, and regroup once the city is clear,” Laras ordered the 10 officers accompanying her.

“Yes, ma’am.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

The 10 officers immediately spread out, rushing to assist the Chinese alliance soldiers in facing the alien enemies. Fortunately, there were no Tier 3 creatures, allowing them to help without much hindrance.

Laras didn’t remain idle either. She directed her cross toward the sky in the middle of the battlefield. The cross, originally 2 meters tall, grew to 10 meters, radiating a refreshing holy aura. It continued to float higher into the air, and once it reached a certain altitude, the holy light spread out like the morning sun, shining on everyone.

“Holy Offering Zone,” Laras uttered calmly.

Immediately, the area within a 200-meter radius of the cross was bathed in the holy light. The Chinese alliance soldiers, who had been exhausted both physically and mentally, were now revitalized, returning to their peak state.

“Incredible… so powerful,” said a soldier wielding a large sword, slashing at the golden-armed gorilla in front of him with renewed strength.

“Miss Laras… truly powerful,” the female soldier from earlier remarked, her admiration for Laras rising even higher in her heart.

“Thank you, Miss Laras… you saved me.”

“I’m alive… hahaha!”

The enthusiastic shouts of the Chinese alliance soldiers made the alien creatures tremble. They had previously dominated the battle due to their larger number of Tier 3s, but now a woman with a giant cross had come to help.

“Quick, inform the leader that the operation at Point #13 has failed…”

“A human with Solar Empowerment has appeared,” said one Star Beast, a half-human creature, to a large crow next to him. He looked in horror at Laras, who continued to mercilessly slaughter his comrades.

“Understood!” The crow nodded and immediately flew into the sky, trying to deliver the message as quickly as possible. But fate had other plans. At an altitude of nearly 1000 meters, a woman in a long white gown suddenly appeared beside him.

“What? At this height?” the Tier 2 crow screamed in terror. In front of him stood Laras, blocking his path. He realized it was impossible for an ordinary human to chase him at this altitude.

“An artifact? Damn, this girl is terrifying!” the black crow shouted in despair. In an instant, he understood that the flying device beneath Laras’s feet was a high-tier artifact. Indeed, Laras was able to catch up to him at this height thanks to the Vortex Plate, a celestial artifact given to her by Lein. As the crow tried to escape by diving downward, Laras swiftly drew a golden sword very similar to Lein’s.

“Heavenly Light Slash!” Laras yelled as she launched a fast, sharp attack.

Although the black crow had flown 50 meters away, its speed was still no match for Laras’s strike. The light from the golden sword slash immediately sliced the crow’s body without resistance.

[Killed (Crow Poert – Lunar Growth) EXP +26,000]

[Crow Poert drops: (silver storage ring)]

Laras heard the notification from the system, confirming that the black crow was truly dead. She saw an item drop from the crow’s severed body, a silver ring. Before the ring could fall to the ground, Laras moved quickly to retrieve it.
