Chapter 16 Beyond Human Power
Cursed spirits have two special characteristics: "invisible" and "intangible". They only appear physically when they use their magical power to attack humans.
When the power of the curse is not used, even if the curse spirit is attached to the human body, it will not be noticed.
This means that thermal weapons are completely ineffective, and human bullets and cannons have no effect on them.
So an association composed entirely of spellcasters with the ability to kill cursed spirits is the last life-saving straw in the hands of mankind.
Spellcasters, their transcendent status in human society is established in this way.
As early as thousands of years ago, conjurers were guests of neon nobles, shoguns, and even the royal family. Today, the Conjurers Association has become a behemoth.
With a considerable degree of autonomy and immunity from criminal offenses, only the Association of Conjurers can judge conjurers! The laws of human society are completely ineffective in them.
Some extreme spellcasters even think that they are superior to others and treat ordinary people who cannot use spells as the lowest level of "monkeys".
Although the Spell Masters Association is also protecting human beings, public order has also been destroyed at the hands of some Spell Masters with ulterior motives.
In recent years, the Neon government has become less and less tolerant of it.
As a result, the Ministry of Defense's Supernatural Countermeasures Headquarters was born, dedicated to scientific research into terrifying spirits and spells.
Until today, it finally became a reality, and the "Scavenger" from the Spell Masters Association, who specializes in testing high-level spell spirits, came to watch the ceremony.
"Scientific methods to get rid of cursed spirits?"
Isayama Norimei was shocked. He thought that he had already exploded by using his spiritual energy to exorcise the cursed spirits, but now these guys have developed a scientific way to eliminate the cursed spirits.
Two other Black Hawk helicopters carrying an eight-person "Scavenger" team hovered in the sky and also came to this battlefield where the curse was raging.
This was Mr. Akube's request. He had to see with his own eyes how the Ministry of Defense attacked the cursed spirits, so that he could make the most professional assessment and suggestions and report them to the Magicians Association.
So Nori Isayama boarded an armed helicopter for the first time because he was on official duty.
Mr. Akube and the others don't need headsets to isolate the noise of helicopters or night vision binoculars for use at night, because these experienced curse hunters are already proficient in the use of curses and can handle everything with curses.
But Isayama Kenmei still needs night vision goggles. The noise can be covered with psychic energy. But for his eyesight, he was scared out of his sight by Chitanda Eru. Without complete assurance, Isayama Norimei didn't dare to use spiritual energy. I can now see other objects.
The night vision device the staff gave Isayama Norimei also had a small LCD panel on it. With this thing, even ordinary people can see the cursed spirit.
Isayama Kenmei tried it and it worked. Just now, a bird-shaped curse spirit flew beside the helicopter. It was a rough outline. The terrifying and twisted face of the curse spirit was invisible. This has a great impact on the mental health of ordinary soldiers. Great protection. Not everyone can be indifferent to tentacles with big eyes like Isayama Nomei.
"Did the exchange of fire begin?"
Isayama Nomei looked at the ground with his telescope. Two Chinook transport planes were already parked on the elevated platform. Dozens of soldiers quickly formed a neat queue, with those holding explosion-proof shields at the front.
The lights on the viaduct have been paralyzed due to the strong spell power around them, and only the flashing electric light from time to time provides weak illumination.
"coming!"
Isayama Nomei's eyes narrowed
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" X10
In the next second, all 10 trucks used as roadblocks and blocking the curse were overturned in an instant, thrown high into the sky, and then hit the ground heavily under the viaduct. For a moment, flames shot into the sky, explosions and the ground The shock was like a natural disaster.
It was as if there was some invisible legion, charging straight at the soldiers from afar. There were sunken footprints on the road, and the distance was getting closer and closer!
"Don't panic!"
Sensing the fear of the soldiers, the on-site commander roared
"Same as trained, shoot!!!"
Their opponents were hundreds of third-level curse spirits. These were real curse spirits, not the low-level ones Isayama Nomei killed in the academy.
"Top, top, top"
The sparks ejected from the barrel were very dazzling. Forty soldiers fired in volley. The hot metal shells popped out of the magazine and fell to the ground with a clanking sound.
"It actually works."
The cursed spirits lying on the ground that looked like lickers in Isayama Nomei's sight were hit by countless bullets. Their armor covering the whole body with cursed power could not hold on for less than a second before they were hit on the head. The limbs and torso were all smashed into countless pieces.
It looked like a massacre. Hundreds of cursed spirits were wiped out in less than two minutes in front of the metal frenzy of death.
"Report, all enemies are silent."
It went so smoothly that it was incredible
After hearing the exciting news from the Special Operations Team, the headquarters burst into applause.
This is a great step for mankind to fight against the curse!
"How about it? The power of our Ministry of Defense!"
Kazuo Manfune, who was sitting in the main seat of the command post, showed a proud smile.
"We can protect ourselves without you conjurers."
"What's this."
A researcher at the command headquarters broke into a cold sweat when he saw the red data on the instrument, which was close to the critical value.
he shouted
"Target 300 meters, high energy reaction detected!!!"
"It's too late."
In the depths of the pitch-black viaduct, a terrifying giant appeared in the darkness, and black cursed mist rolled around its side.
Such a huge cursed reaction suddenly erupted as if it appeared suddenly, and even Mr. Abe and others only sensed it at the moment when it launched the attack.
The expressions on their faces, including Kenmei Isayama, became ugly, because even the two Black Hawk helicopters hovering at an altitude of 300 meters were within the attack range of the unknown terrifying cursed spirit.
"Xiao Ming, it's time to jump out of the plane."
Mr. Abe and the other members looked at each other. He first kicked open the door of the helicopter, then grabbed Kenmei Isayama with one hand and jumped down. The others also grabbed a pilot and an accompanying person, and followed Mr. Abe without hesitation and jumped down.
Professionals are professionals. It took less than two seconds to respond to the "emergency" when it came. This execution ability is really terrifying. The helicopter has been locked and staying there is a dead end.
Kenmei Isayama, whose arm was grabbed by Mr. Abe, suddenly heard the whistling wind and an inexplicable sense of weightlessness.
And at that moment, two very dazzling black and white beams of light with a very amazing concentration of cursed power accurately hit the Black Hawk helicopter hovering in the air. The black metal was melted by the high temperature in less than 0.01 seconds, and the entire fuselage was blown to pieces.
The straight-line distance from Kenmei Isayama was less than 50 meters
The Black Hawk helicopter, which costs 49 million US dollars per unit, turned into two fiercely burning hot fireballs in the sky in the curse artillery.
And those members of the Special Warfare First Division, who were highly expected by the Ministry of Defense, were specially taken care of by three shots. It is conceivable that they had no chance of survival.
Forty members, along with two "Chinook" transport planes and those precious weapons, were evaporated under the terrifying high temperature.
The command center, which was applauding in the last second, became deadly silent in the next second, and the smiles on everyone's faces froze.
The live broadcast in front of them turned into a snow screen with a "sizzle, sizzle" sound as the signal was lost.
Mafune Kazuo took a few steps back in despair, and collapsed to the ground after hitting the wall, muttering
"Is that really something that we humans can defeat with technology?"
