Zenless Zone Zero The Random Kamen Rider

Chapter 45: Chapter 45: The Butcher and the Three Musketeers



When they first saw the Dead End Butcher, everyone would be intimidated by the sense of oppression from its huge size. Let alone fighting it, just standing required extremely high psychological quality. And this huge Ethereal did not attack with its body but held a long-handled cleaver in its right hand that matched its huge body.

This was the difference between the Dead End Butcher and ordinary Ethereals. Its weapon was an independent entity formed from Aether metal, not some limb part grown from the Ethereal's body. This meant that it could even throw this huge killing weapon during battle, causing serious casualties.

Mo Xuan felt his heart pound for the first time. This was a natural reaction of a human when facing a terrifying creature. But he soon calmed down. A ringing seemed to sound in his ears, and an extremely uneasy feeling came from the bottom of his heart, as if someone were pricking his scalp with a needle. This made him stare at the surrounding environment. Soon, he saw a faint yellow light light up in an inconspicuous corner.

Mo Xuan reacted subconsciously. He stepped on the ground and came to Zhu Yuan's side, raising his shield to block. A sharp blade slashed at the shield. Amidst the sparks, he saw the enemy's appearance through the peephole on the side of the shield.

This was a slender humanoid Ethereal, about two meters tall. Its limbs and body were very thin, and it had a white cloth cape on its back. And what it generated in its right hand was not a cleaver-like weapon, but a bow. The bow itself was composed of a reinforced blade sharp enough to cut through a combat suit, which meant it could both fight at a long range and kill enemies at close range.

In addition, this Ethereal was good at high-speed movement. The trouble it brought to the team was imaginable. Although Mo Xuan could block its attack with one hand and a shield, and the slashing power of the blade was not great, its lethality was absolutely terrifying in a situation of high-speed movement and sneak attacks.

Zhu Yuan's action at this time was to raise her gun and aim. She had also noticed this monster's sneak attack. She had originally planned to shoot while dodging, but after noticing Mo Xuan coming up to cover her, she didn't dodge. Instead, she confidently entrusted her vitals to his defense and then fired a shot at the Ethereal in front of her.

'BANG!'

A spray of buckshot was all fired. The Ethereal's figure swayed for a moment and then disappeared. In its eyes, the speed of the bullet was a bit too slow. It could dodge it with a single move. This speed could no longer be described as high-speed. "Teleportation" was more suitable.

"It's a Thanatos. This is going to be difficult."

Qingyi came to Zhu Yuan's side and said with a grave expression. One Dead End Butcher was already difficult enough to deal with. Plus the constantly teleporting Thanatos-class Ethereal, not to say the chances of winning were very low, but casualties were probably unavoidable.

"Mo Xuan, Senior Qingyi and I will deal with the Dead End Butcher. Since you can see the Thanatos's attacks, you cover our comrades."

Zhu Yuan said to Mo Xuan with a serious expression. A boss monster like the Dead End Butcher was not something Mo Xuan could block. Its power was too great. Raising a shield against it would basically result in being sent flying. Even if he could withstand it, he would be shaken to the point of vomiting blood. So, to deal with the Dead End Butcher, Qingyi had to draw its fire, and Zhu Yuan was responsible for finding an angle to attack its core.

"Okay."

Mo Xuan replied, then turned back to the veterans' assembled team to provide cover. He also didn't know why he could see the teleporting Thanatos. Since he had the ability, of course he had to do what he should do.

'Beep-beep-beep—'

Interference came from Mo Xuan's earpiece. This made him secretly rejoice. Fairy's support had finally arrived.

"The strongest AI on the surface has taken over the communication. Please move fifty meters to the east. Your delivery has arrived."

Fairy's emotionless voice came into his ear. She had successfully hacked into the Public Security Bureau's communication network, and it had happened without anyone else noticing. It had to be said that she was really powerful.

"I can't get away right now."

This was Mo Xuan's headache. He couldn't switch places with his substitute in plain sight. He could only use a self-injury plan like being knocked flying to move. But right now, there was no chance.

"Don't worry. Two more Thanatos have come to help you." Fairy kindly prompted.

"Fairy!"

Mo Xuan cried out in astonishment. In his perception, two yellow lights were attacking from the front and back. They were the elite-class Ethereals with bow-blades.

Mo Xuan raised his shield to block a slash for a veteran, then kicked another veteran away. A piece of flesh was directly cut off from that veteran's shoulder, and the white bone was exposed, blood splashing everywhere.

"Thanks, little brother."

The veteran reacted quickly. Before the pain could numb his body, he immediately raised his gun and fired, forcing the Thanatos beside him back. Just as he was about to thank Mo Xuan, he found that the little brother had been sent flying into a dilapidated building in a very exaggerated posture.

Although he really wanted to complain that the little brother's stance was too unstable, and whether his kidneys were weak, the veterans had already quickly formed a team to guard against the three Thanatos squatting in the dark for a sneak attack.

Mo Xuan quickly stood up from the ruins, exchanged places and the equipment in his hands with Stand-boo who had run over. After being covered with an Aether mosaic, he ran towards the other side.

At this time, Qingyi and Zhu Yuan were already in a fierce battle with the Dead End Butcher. Qingyi was a robot, and only her body could go head-to-head with the Dead End Butcher. Every time the long-handled knife in the Butcher's hand fell, she would block it with her long staff, making a strong impact sound.

The Dead End Butcher saw that its slashes were useless against Qingyi, so it changed from chopping to sweeping. Qingyi could block the attack, but there was no place to borrow strength on the left and right sides. After blocking one sweep, she was swept away a dozen meters, and the ground under her feet was plowed into deep gullies.

Zhu Yuan's figure flashed and appeared above the Dead End Butcher's head. The modified shotgun in her hand fired downwards. The target was the Dead End Butcher's core. A black palm was raised to protect the core, blocking all the bullets. Zhu Yuan, seeing this, did not linger in the fight. She immediately raised her gun and fired bullets to her side. The strong recoil caused her body to shift slightly in mid-air, just enough to avoid the long knife scraped by the Dead End Butcher.

"Zhu Yuan, this guy is not simple. He should be an elite among elites."

Qingyi's voice came from the earpiece. The two of them were not just trying to hold back the Dead End Butcher, but they wanted to kill it and go to help the other team members. At this time, it was not just being besieged by three Thanatos. There were also Ethereals coming from a distance. It could be said that it was a situation where they would surely die if they dragged it out.

"I'm fine, but the team over there..."

Zhu Yuan didn't dare to look back now. She was afraid that seeing Mo Xuan's bitter struggle would shake her will. She could only stare at the Dead End Butcher in front of her.
