The Bullsh*t System

Witnessing that the three were destroying all the Met-3, the various Met-2 analyzed the problem, "Detected three problematic targets. Analyzing a solution... astral cannon."

As they were stopped by the Longevity Realm experts from attacking the three physically, the Met-2 decided to retort to the Astral Cannon, to attack from distance. Soon, on their mechanical hands appeared small rods, which exerted an impending feeling of threat, giving chills to anyone.

The moment Shu Himo stopped in the midst of another group of Met-3, a Met-2 aimed its Astral Cannon to him. It quickly accumulated force, before shooting him, or better, attempting to.

When the Met-2 was about to shoot, the atmosphere appeared to freeze, as ice began to cover its mechanical body. *Frrr* Before anyone could realize, the Met-2 was completely frozen and fell on the ground.

Looking calmly at everything, a young man with a cold look retracted his hand, while his voice lightly resounded everywhere, "[/Ice Age/]"

Not only that Met-2 was frozen, but also various Met-2 were frozen as they continuously fell on the ground, shattering upon impact. In less than ten seconds, over twenty Met-2 were destroyed by a single Arcane Magic.

Shaking his head, the young man muttered, "As it is quite expensive I did not want to use it... but there is a limit to my patience." Sighing, he knew that he did not have any other crystal, so he could not unleash such attack again.

Turning toward the young man, Shu Himo smiled, "Thank you, brother!"

Lightly nodding, Shu Eitha went once again to fight other Met-2. His objective was to stop any Met-2 from attacking Shu Himo. Normally, he would have to hide his strength due to the orders from the headquarters, but in a war against the forces from the demons he did not need to worry about something like that.

While he was still in the Longevity Realm, he overpowered quickly most Met-2, showing a strength clearly superior to his realm.

Not only him, but also most Longevity Realm experts focused on protecting the trio from the attacks of Met-2. Knowing that the three were able to destroy quickly the Met-3, they held such strategy as the most optimal one.

However... even if they were able to cover the majority of them, being barely over a hundred and a half Longevity Realm experts they could not possibly defend from the over two hundred Met-2, and as expected, a few Met-2 suddenly overcame their defenses, presenting themselves in front of Shu Himo and Phylia.

"Master!" Screaming hurriedly, Phylia prepared herself to act as a shield, but she suddenly felt a hand grabbing on her arm.

"No need, just hold on tight!" How could Shu Himo let her sacrifice herself again?

Being a slime, Phylia did not have any difficulty on evading the punch, and simply clung onto Shu Himo as they dashed forward.

Feeling a gush of wind blowing on his back, Shu Himo looked behind, and seeing that Phylia was still there he sighed in relief. Not only he did not want to make her suffer again, but also, revealing her identity in such a moment would be risky.

While the concept of 'beast taming' was widespread, shapeshifters were never welcomed too much; but the real problem would be if someone knew her real race. Even if Shu Himo did not think someone of this planet would know it, it was always better safe than sorry.

Not giving up, the Met-2 chased after him, but they weren't only three anymore; over ten Met-2 suddenly appeared around him!

Shu Himo frowned, what were the others doing?! It was one thing to let through a couple of them, but this was too much! Shaking his head, he resolved himself to use five stacks of [Hopper], while it would hurt like hell afterward, it was still better than ending up dead!

Taking out his scythe, he chose four Met-2 from the group to kill by abusing the momentum gained from the burst of speed.

At that moment, the numerous Met-2 sent a punch towards him, giving chills all over his body; he knew that being hit by them, only death would be the outcome. Seeing the two in such a pinch, everyone felt their heart leaping out of their chest in worry, however, Shu Himo's eyes were clear, as if he were not in such danger.

Having made such a decision, he was about to generate the five invisible platforms, when everyone suddenly felt their own soul crushed by an unfathomable power, as if a mountain itself was befalling on their shoulders.

"Stop!"

Resounding through the air, such a simple word froze the heart of every expert. They were overcome with a feeling of impending death, which may claim their lives had they dared to move.

It was the overbearing feeling usually felt when against a cultivator of a superior realm, which could be fought only with indomitable willpower.

Like the Longevity Realm experts, even the Met-2 and Met-3 were unmoving, as if the command was something absolute.

Unlike the reaction from everyone else, Shu Himo, Phylia, and Aura Azusa after hearing such an authoritative voice lightly smiled.

Some noticed their reaction, making them wonder if the three knew the origin of such a terrifying voice. Under their eyes, Shu Himo raised his head toward far east, and grinned, "We meet again, Runa."

'Runa... wait, is she perhaps?!' While most did not know who she was, Shu Eitha clearly knew it, she was the Demon King! Such revelation made him speechless, 'Why does Shu Himo know the Demon King? And why did she come here? ...Was it perhaps due to that tornado of Qi?' Shu Eitha was dumbfounded. How come he had such a troublesome little brother?!
