Chapter 407: Leave This To Me
[Wall!]Deep within the reinforced concrete belly of the command room below the wall, alarms blared a chaotic symphony of impending doom. A lone lady officer rushed out from the heavily fortified bunker. She was wearing a specialized, military-grade night vision mask, shielding her neural pathways from the absolute paralysis of the Blood Sacrifice domain.
"No, I must do it!" She thought, her heart hammering against her ribs. She rushed to the steep, metallic stairway, her boots clanging desperately as she started climbing to the exposed top of the towering defense wall.

She reached the top, her breath ragged. Through the green tint of her mask, she stared at the apocalyptic array of phantom swords, which were all nine hundred meters above the fragile city. The lady quickly scanned the artillery line and spotted her target: a hybrid rocket launcher machine gun, a monstrous piece of magi-tech artillery ten times her size.
The frozen soldiers on the wall, completely paralyzed by the red sky’s oppressive debuff, stared at her in wide-eyed surprise, completely motionless like statues caught in Pompeii’s ash.
"I know what I am doing!" She yelled, her voice trembling but resolute. She rushed towards the massive gun, forcefully took the targeting tablet a frozen soldier was still rigidly holding, and started rapidly operating the complex machine.
"....?!"
The Lion monster instantly sensed the mechanical movement. It turned its predatory gaze to the giant gun, then scoffed.
"You humans are so stupid! That gun is useless." It muttered, casually pointing its massive sword at the defensive wall, preparing to obliterate the annoyance.
"Fool! I am not aiming it at you." The lady gritted her teeth and forcefully moved the hydraulic controls. The heavy barrel of the gun whirred and moved towards Tang Lu, who was still helplessly frozen in mid-air.
"Huh? You want to kill him?" Now, the Lion was genuinely confused, its mind failing to process the human’s suicidal strategy.
