2193 Side Story: Fantasy Journey 34
In particular, when Master Wayne landed among the buildings, he was like a fish in water.
Master Wayne was a professional at fighting on the streets.
With a grappling hook and his cape, and the energy pistol switching between hands, he was still able to open a path as he glided forward.
When he was surrounded by a large number of Parademons, he used the formidable power support system and a combo of the pistols’ various firing modes to force his way through.
Diana only paid attention for a moment before she turned around and looked at the tower that was hundreds of meters tall. “If we take down this tower, the dome will definitely be affected. His fighter plane outside will come in handy then.”
Without the dome, the fighter plane and the Batmobile could combine ground and air firepower to cooperate with Master Wayne in killing the Parademons.
The butler was an old hand at driving. It was common for him to drive the Batmobile remotely, and it was the same with the fighter plane.
After confirming their target, the group sped up and rushed to the bottom of the tower.
There were still some Parademons here. Although they looked irritated, they weren’t drawn to the noise made by Master Wayne.
When they saw the group, they immediately flew over. Hundreds of them was quite an alarming sight.
Luke said, “Keep moving. I’ll take care of them.”
As soon as he said that, his two shoulder cannons fired.
Compared with ordinary bullets, energy bullets were much more useful firepower support.
The two shoulder cannons each had a backup reactor and didn’t lack rapid fire, high explosive, and armor-piercing power.
Master Wayne’s firing tempo was like a light drizzle compared with the shoulder cannons, which were like a storm.
The shooting support program tagged the incoming Parademons. It didn’t lock onto a specific target, but directly covered a route with firepower.
As if they had hit a wall of light, the Parademons that flew over exploded.
None of them could enter a range of 100 meters. In the end, even the Parademons that had just emerged from the tower were blown up.
Everybody, including Diana, now had a little more confidence in this mission.
Based on Master Wayne and Luke’s performances, it was unlikely that the Parademons, who had the absolute advantage in numbers, would be able to surround and kill them.
In the face of a powerful opponent like Steppenwolf, the slightest delay by the Parademons could affect the tide of battle.
After eliminating the Parademons at close range, Luke switched to the armor-piercing and high explosive firing modes.
With a series of muffled bangs, several huge balls of light shot out and hit the tower two-thirds of the way up.
The tower section here was thinner, and was only ten meters in diameter.
More than ten armor-piercing and high explosive energy bullets hit this section, creating a huge hole.
The impact of the high explosive bullets caused a crack to appear and spread throughout the tower.
Luke used another round of armor-piercing and high explosive attacks on the crack, completely shattering the balance that the tower was barely able to maintain.
The top half of the tower, which was more than 100 meters tall, fell at an angle. Luke deliberately controlled the angle of the bombardment so that the tower fell in the opposite direction from the Justice League.
As the tower fell, the defensive dome quickly disappeared.
The battle goddess at the very front perked up. She took the lead and blasted a huge hole in the tower with her sword as she charged in with everyone.
Steppenwolf roared angrily, “You idiots, come back.”
As Old Master Wayne fought and ran, the Parademons that had been lured several kilometers away paused before they turned around to defend the tower.
Master Wayne frowned.
He indeed wasn’t in any danger from the horde of Parademons chasing him.
But if the demons wanted to run off, he couldn’t stop them with his limited firepower.
“Alfred, use the plane and try to intercept some of them. Oh, remember to drop the car here as well,” he instructed as he ran toward the tower, firing wildly.
The butler’s voice was as even as ever. “Your car is on the move. The plane missiles are ready to launch.”
Less than five seconds later, dozens of white streaks shot out from the fighter plane that had just taken off, and they exploded 100 meters away from the tower.
Caught off guard, the Parademons that were in range of the explosions were blown away. Those that couldn’t get out of the way in time charged into the flames and were sent rolling by the violent shock wave.
The reinforcements stopped moving forward.
Master Wayne jumped onto the Batmobile that sped over, but didn’t get in. Instead, nanomaterial stretched out of his suit and turned into a hook to latch onto one side of the car.
The firepower from the energy pistols was really useful, and it would be a waste to sit in the car, so it was better to leave the driving of the Batmobile to the butler.
In any case, the old man had been very energetic recently, so multitasking wouldn’t be a problem for him.
More importantly, Master Wayne realized a problem. He instructed, “Alfred, have the fighter plane fire at maximum power. Help me control the Batmobile.”
On the other side, the butler was sitting in front of a wide curved screen. He casually pulled up a second remote control system on the side. After inputting an automatic attack command for the fighter plane, he turned around. “Our air burst missiles aren’t lethal enough against the Parademons. Most of them only have minor injuries and can still move.”
As the butler spoke, the Parademons that had been blown away by the explosions got up from the ground. Many flapped their wings and flew toward the tower, while some with damaged wings started to run.
Overall, the fighter plane’s firepower had caused about 30% damage.
But that was just limited to the Parademons that had been affected by the explosions; the damage to the total number of Parademons was at most 5%.
Those were all the missiles on the fighter plane. It was impossible to take down another 5%.
The resilience of the Parademons was beyond Master Wayne’s expectations.
He had thought that the explosions would damage most of the Parademons within range, but the transparent wings, which looked a little like dragonfly wings, weren’t afraid of high temperatures.
Most of the Parademons who couldn’t fly had only sustained injuries when they crashed hard to the ground.
Master Wayne had only completed half of his task, which was to lure the Parademons away and allow his teammates to charge into the tower. However, they were also surrounded.
Now, Master Wayne had to rush over and deal with the upcoming fight with everyone.
Master Wayne cleared the way with the Batmobile as two machine guns on the car mopped up the Parademons that were chasing him from the air. He just hoped that his teammates could hold on.
When Luke opened fire earlier, Master Wayne had been tussling with a large group of monsters and hadn’t paid much attention to Luke’s firepower support gear.
Master Wayne was facing the tower at that moment, when he saw a horde of flying Parademons abruptly explode in a storm of light.
Amidst the hiss of rapid fire energy bullets and the bangs of high explosive bullets, a large number of Parademons were hit dozens of meters away from the tower.
Master Wayne couldn’t help but mutter, “Holy sh*t!”
He estimated that these energy bullets were more than twice as fast as his rapid fire energy bullets, even accounting for the significant decrease in speed of the high explosive mode.
That firepower support gear was so fierce? Master Wayne couldn’t help but recall the muzzles on Luke’s shoulders. He was pleasantly astonished.
