I, The Dragon Overlord-Chapter 647 - Everything Is A Mess!

"Da da da da da—"

As the soldiers gathered together, the bright discharges of their rapid firearms flashed in the darkness. With measured accuracy and consistency, they focused their fire in their targets, minimizing any wasted ammo or time.

"Bullets don’t seem to work on these things!"

"I know. Even headshots are useless!"

"No more talking, continue firing!"

“......”

The ghouls, unlike zombies in movies, were entirely different. While their bodies seemed to be made of flesh, the bullets fired at them ricocheted off their skin like steel. Consequently, they were highly resilient and required numerous shots to bring down at the very least.

The battle was no longer just the Black Beret squad, as the main force had already joined in, engaging in a positional battle against the horde of ghouls. Unlike the slow-moving zombies, the ghouls ran at a fast pace, and their jumping ability far surpassed that of humans. Soon, casualties began to rack up on the army’s side.

"Commander, we need heavy firepower cover!! The terrain here is complex, and these creatures are too fast. We can't hold them back!"

The frontline commander shouted desperately as he watched his soldiers being slaughtered.

"No! No large-scale firepower cover until we find that book."

The cold and ruthless command came from the top South Korean top brass.

"But there aren't any living people here. I suspect the people in this slaughterhouse ran away long ago. This is a trap!"

The frontline commander continued to roar.

Special forces excelled in small-scale infiltration, raids, and special operations. However, when a war turned into trench warfare, special forces were not significantly superior to regular soldiers.

Their abilities were challenging to unleash in a battle where pure firepower confrontation prevailed.

The high-ranking South Korean command hesitated for a moment, seemingly discussing something with those around, then the commander said, "We cannot perform a full-scale saturation attack, but we've already sent reinforcements to you."

As the words fell, several armed helicopters appeared over the slaughterhouse. The Vulcan cannons on board began pouring firepower, and Special Forces soldiers in flame-resistant suits rushed in, wielding high-temperature flamethrowers, wreaking havoc inside.

With the assistance of the armed helicopters and these flamethrower soldiers, the situation temporarily stabilized.

The frontline commander sighed in relief. He didn't need much support. As long as there was heavy firepower from the helicopters, he was confident they could eliminate these steel-bodied monsters.

Suddenly, one of the armed helicopters hovering in the sky began to descend. Screams from the personnel inside the helicopter echoed through the earphones. Subsequently, the uncontrolled helicopter's rapidly rotating rotor collided with a nearby helicopter, and both aircraft tumbled from the sky, blooming into two fireballs as their gas tanks caught fire.

"What's happening?"

"What's going on?"

“......”

The South Korean high-ranking commander urgently asked, but there was no one to answer.

"Ahhhh—"

Another scream resounded. This time, within the formation of the Black Berets, the frontline squad leader hurriedly turned to see only a vague mist flashing through the team. In that mist, there seemed to be some strange creature. One Black Beret member had already collapsed on the ground, dead.

The squad leader quickly approached for an examination, and with a changed expression, he spoke into the communicator, "Be cautious! There are new creatures here. These monsters seem to be able to turn invisible or possess some other ability. Their attack methods are like beasts, using claws and teeth!"

From the dead member, the squad leader roughly analyzed the killing method of that mysterious creature.

“Boom boom boom—”

“Da da da da da da—”

As soon as the squad leader finished reporting, he heard gunshots from outside the slaughterhouse, curses, and the thunderous roar of cannons. His expression changed drastically, and he asked, "What's happening outside?"

The plan for the battle was for infantry forces to surround the slaughterhouse while elite units were sent into it. But now, it seemed that the armored vehicles, tanks, and numerous soldiers outside were also facing issues.

"Hisss ssss..."

The communicator seemed to be letting out static noise, and the commander's orders sounded intermittent, "... Our forces are under attack. It's the strange creatures you just reported. These creatures aren't invisible! They seem to be able to attack across space!"

"Across... across space?"

Soldiers who heard this explanation were dumbfounded.

"It's the Hounds of Tindalos. The Americans just gave us information about these creatures!"

"Hisss ssss..."

“Command, command!”

The Black Beret members looked at each other; had they lost contact just now?

Just as the team members were still bewildered, the remaining armed helicopters in the sky began to wobble precariously, one after another, plummeting from the sky, transforming into streaks of flames.

The sounds of fierce combat outside intensified, occasionally accompanied by the thunderous roar of artillery. Just imagining the scenes outside painted a grim picture.

Complete defeat!!

Many surviving soldiers flashed this thought in their minds. This war was supposed to be in the bag, capturing the enemy leader directly and obtaining the necessary items. However, from now on, it was a failure. The most elite South Korean forces, near Seoul, the capital of South Korea, had unexpectedly suffered defeat!

Was this the power of the supernatural? Was this merely the power unleashed by an ordinary person gaining something extraordinary, already capable of rivaling an entire military force?

"Don't stand there in a daze! Those monsters are coming again!"

Just as the situation was gradually deteriorating, the ghouls advanced with ferocious claws and teeth. This unit was still one of the elites, and they immediately shifted into combat mode.

"Report the remaining ammunition!"

The squad leader shouted, and then came a series of reports. Upon hearing that the unit had limited ammunition, the squad leader's expression turned cold.

Who would have thought that the South Korean forces in the capital city would face an ammunition shortage in their own country's battle?!

And as if adding insult to injury, at this moment, the earth suddenly trembled violently, with an extremely strong shockwave.

"Earthquake?!!"

People just managed to stabilize themselves, barely standing, when they heard eerie cries. Suddenly, a group of flying creatures appeared in the sky. These creatures were incredibly fast, streaking across the sky and diving towards the large forces on the ground. Simultaneously, the ghouls from the slaughterhouse rushed out, joining the chaos outside.

The military's cries, the terrified screams and shouts of the surrounding journalists, the booming of cannons, and the burning of flames converged into an eerie symphony.

Chaos, complete chaos. The entirety of Seoul was descending into madness!
