Chapter 860 Recovery Efforts
"What kind of spell was that? A combination spell?!" Ryuli asked as she quickly moved away from Kraft and instead used a tree for support before stabilising herself. "How is it possible to remove that large berserk colossal manifestation and that huge Monster Horde, all in one go?!" Her mind could not wrap around the fact that three unknown people had been able to basically single-handedly stop the entire Monster Horde.
Even though the military was supporting them from behind and having two State Agents on the scene, she felt that they could handle this crisis on their own without any of their help at all. What\'s more, this fox gentleman was not sweating after all that effort. Did that mean that what he had shown wasn\'t even the entirety of his true powers?!
Oddly enough, his chi did not give out an \'evil\' vibe which she had encountered so often when fighting against enemies of the state. If she had to describe it, it felt more like Chaos. As strange as it sounded, it felt as if someone had taken Chaos and tamed it.
"Now, now. I can\'t give up secrets just like that, right?" Kraft grinned at Ryuli before giving her a formal bow. Then he went over to pick up Jin\'s body from the ground. "Peppers, let\'s return back to the shop."
"You gotta be kidding me. Do you seriously think I have the strength to move after performing that magic spell?"?Peppers questioned as she was lying flat on the ground with her large witch hat as a cushion. Even while disabled, she had to feel comfortable.
"In that case, allow me to help you out, little girl!" Kraft\'s smile got wider.
"Policeman! Policewoman! Arrest this lecher! This paedophiliac! KYAAAAA! Ahahahhah~!" Peppers screamed as she was being pulled up via her abdomen and put over Kraft\'s shoulder just as Jin currently was. (He did not hesitate to tickle her waist while doing so.)
"I honestly do not know whether that was a real scream for help or that\'s just their way of bonding." Ryuli, now finally able to stabilise herself, whispered to Mr Know-It-All.
"Well, like it or not, they are certainly the heroes of this particular event." Mr Know-It-All replied.
"Oh yeah. Do remember your deal. Feel free to claim the credit for this. Just make sure to keep our involvement out of the media. Or I will find you and crush you both!" Kraft winked. After which he slapped Peppers\' butt, and a portal appeared right in front of them while the remaining portals which had been used by the Valgs to catch the Bone Spirit Infused Demons were closed.
"Did you see that?! Sexual harassment! You caught him in action! Arrest HIM!!!!!!!" The unmovable Peppers cried out loud as Kraft entered the portal and the entire forest suddenly turned dead quiet. At that point, soldiers started to move in already, doing a sweep in case there were any remnant Bone Spirit Infused Demons around.
"Looks like our work here is done." Mr Know-It-All said as he pulled his badge out to show the first wave of soldiers that they were private contractors.
"You sure, we can keep this out of the report? How are we going to answer the higher-ups properly?" Ryuli questioned as she too showed her badge to the soldiers. They thanked them for their service and continued to walk through the area, making sure the dead bodies around were truly dead.
"Let me worry about that. But I have an inkling, they are going to keep things under wrap, too. You heard the fox gentleman. They don\'t want to be involved, and I bet the higher-ups would love to use this event as propaganda. Agent L, go back to the hotel and rest. When I have settled the stuff, I will bring you to that shop."
"Can\'t you just give me the address?"
"Heh, indulge your supervisor\'s whims once in a while." Mr Know-It-All denied her request as he started to walk towards the border wall. "Maybe, just maybe. I will get to witness something very special. Besides, I am looking forward to seeing that master of yours myself."
"Please, I will not call him master after abandoning me at that place. Besides, you are the only one I will ever acknowledge as my master." Ryuli declared as she followed him side by side.
"Heh, we will see." Mr Know-It-All felt that things were not that simple.
------------------
As of 2056hrs, the Monster Horde had officially been stopped along Huizhou borders. The casualties and damage to infrastructure were devastating, but considering the eventual scale of the attack, it was minor. As for Dongguan, the elite Demon Exorcists were still hunting the remaining Bone Spirit Infused Demons.
While it was a little more difficult to fight in the night since the Demons were more aggressive with nightfall, the elite Demon Exorcists were able to clear them rather quickly within two hours after their arrival. The only problem was hunting each and every one of them which was eventually assigned to Claire and Grandma Yuan\'s latest batch of graduates.
With the System\'s control of the area, it was able to point out to Claire where the remaining Bone Spirit Infused Demons had been hiding. As much as it wanted to keep those demons for itself, the System believed it would be better to have the Demon Exorcists under Jin receive their official emblem.
This particular situation would definitely get Lein, Lian and Rong out of their provisional status. (It just did not want to admit that the current horde the System teleported caused it to be near full capacity once more.)
With the alert dropping, the citizens were able to return to their homes and the provincial officials had already started to send in construction teams late in the night to fix the damage done to the cities. In the meantime, fresh batches of soldiers were sent beyond the border walls to make sure none of those Bone Spirit Infused Demons survived. (They were mostly sent out to make the citizens feel safer)
The forest fire in Dongguan had also been put out with rescue planes and helicopters water bombing the area along with the aid of several water mages and capable cultivators. After which, the Demon Exorcists who took care of Dongguan\'s remaining horde were also seen patrolling the burnt forest to assist the soldiers doing the sweep.
The only real setback was that the Royal Horse Army Battalion had effectively been wiped out by the horde and their General had been reported dead after they found his body during the cleanup. It might be a victory for the cities but not to the military force who had taken a blow from this domestic terrorism.
