c18: Nervous Su Lie, Publishing a Mission
As time passed, Su Lie became increasingly anxious.
He could not defeat the three Demonic Species in front of him. In fact, he couldn't even manage to launch an effective counterattack under their coordinated assault.
Not to mention that hundreds more Demonic Species were rapidly approaching from behind like a surging tide, their roars echoing closer with every passing second.
Having guarded the Great Wall for over a decade, Su Lie, as the Great Wall Guard Commander, naturally did not fear death.
He had long since accepted that one day he might fall in battle, just like countless warriors who stood their ground against overwhelming enemies.
However, what he could not accept, what he absolutely refused to allow was for these Demonic Species to breach Guan City behind him.
Because inside that city were not soldiers… but civilians.
Among them were merchants, families, and even children who had no power to resist.
"Damn it!"
Seeing the Demonic Species drawing closer and closer, Su Lie's anxiety intensified. His grip on the blade tightened as his thoughts raced.
If only I had more power…
Strength?
At that moment, Su Lie suddenly froze.
A realization struck him like lightning.
In the next instant, a layer of deep black suddenly spread across his hands and the long saber he wielded.
Armament Haki.
This was the ability he had obtained from the Chat Group Store after snatching Karl's red packet in the previous chapter.
After acquiring Armament Haki, Su Lie had already tested it once. The enhancement it provided was undeniable his body's toughness could rival steel, and his strikes carried far greater impact.
The effect was not unlike how certain heroes enhanced themselves through sheer will and discipline, similar in principle to the combat mastery and peak conditioning displayed by Black Panther or the refined martial prowess of Batman.
However, due to the excitement of Guan City's reopening earlier, combined with the sudden ambush of the Demonic Species, Su Lie had completely forgotten about this crucial ability in the heat of the moment.
Now with Armament Haki activated, Su Lie surged forward once more and continued fighting the Demonic Species.
Although he had gained this enhancement, he still could not immediately defeat the three powerful enemies before him.
But the situation changed significantly.
From being forced into purely passive defense, he could now begin to counterattack.
Each swing of his saber now carried greater weight, and his body could withstand blows that would have previously injured him.
After all, Armament Haki simultaneously increased both his offensive power and defensive resilience.
Even so he still could not defeat the three Demonic Species in a short period of time.
And more critically, the hundreds of Demonic Species behind them had already closed in to less than five meters away.
Still not enough…
If only I had advanced Armament Haki. With that level of power, I alone should be able to slaughter these Demonic Species.
Su Lie let out a heavy sigh, fully aware of the gap that still remained between his current strength and what was required to turn the tide.
However, at this moment, he was no longer as panicked as before.
Because remembering Armament Haki also reminded him of something far more important
The Chat Group.
After exchanging a few more blows with the Demonic Species, Su Lie suddenly made a shocking decision.
He forcibly disengaged from the battle and retreated to the side.
From an outside perspective, it looked as though he had abandoned his position guarding Guan City.
But in reality, he was gambling everything on another option.
After retreating to a relatively safer position, Su Lie immediately entered the Chat Group interface.
Great Wall Guard Commander: @God of the Human Realm @All Members
Great Wall Guard Commander: Karl, everyone in the group.
Great Wall Guard Commander: The situation is urgent—Guan City is being invaded by Demonic Species. Please help me!
Tenblade King: ??
Tenblade King: What's going on, General Su Lie?
What Should I Do If My Little Sister is a Middle Schooler??: Yeah, why are you suddenly panicking?
What Should I Do If My Little Sister is a Middle Schooler??: Weren't you just happily showing us around Guan City a moment ago?
Senju Princess: General Su, don't panic. Tell us everything clearly.
Great Wall Guard Commander: Demonic Species are extremely dangerous creatures that frequently attack human settlements.
Great Wall Guard Commander: They possess beast-like forms, immense physical strength, and some even wield strange, unknown abilities.
Great Wall Guard Commander: Their threat level is comparable to monstrous entities seen in other worlds—like the kind of overwhelming threats faced by heroes against beings such as Doomsday or the Hulk at his most uncontrollable state, Hulk.
Great Wall Guard Commander: Now, hundreds of these Demonic Species have appeared in Guan City.
Great Wall Guard Commander: The city is currently filled with civilians, and there is no Great Wall Guard Army stationed here. I sincerely hope everyone can lend me a hand.
What Should I Do If My Little Sister is a Middle Schooler??: I… I'm afraid I can't help with something like this.
What Should I Do If My Little Sister is a Middle Schooler??: Karl, please help him. @God of the Human Realm
God of the Human Realm: Helping isn't a problem.
God of the Human Realm: But the Chat Group hasn't released a mission, so I currently have no way to travel to your world.
Great Wall Guard Commander: This… then how can I publish a mission?
God of the Human Realm: I'm not entirely sure either. I don't have experience with that. @Senju Princess
Tenblade King: Wait didn't Tsunade publish a mission last time? How did she do it?
Senju Princess: This… I'm not sure either.
Senju Princess: At that time, I only had one thought to save Nawaki no matter what.
Senju Princess: And then, somehow, the mission was automatically generated.
Great Wall Guard Commander: I also desperately want to defeat these Demonic Species and save the civilians in Guan City.
Great Wall Guard Commander: But right now, there's still no mission appearing at all.
Senju Princess: I really don't know the exact conditions either…
Tenblade King: Could it be… that you need to offer a certain reward to trigger a mission?
Tenblade King: I remember that the reward for the last mission seemed to be all of Tsunade's accumulated points.
Senju Princess: That makes sense!
Senju Princess: That's indeed the case. The points I signed in for last time were all used as a reward.
Great Wall Guard Commander: Is that so? Then I'll try it.
Great Wall Guard Commander: I hope someone can help me repel the Demonic Species. I am willing to pay 49 points as a reward.
This was all the points he currently possessed.
After purchasing Armament Haki earlier, Su Lie had already distributed most of his remaining points through the red packet.
If he hadn't managed to snatch some back during the distribution, he would have been completely broke by now.
[Ding! Group member Great Wall Guard Commander has published a mission, "Repel the Demonic Species".]
[Mission Reward: 49 points +??]
[Friendly Reminder: The difficulty of this mission is extremely high.]
[The Chat Group encourages members to help each other; all members can accept this mission.]
[If the mission is completed, additional points will be awarded based on the final mission rating.]
What to do if my sister is a chuunibyou: Wow! A mission really appeared!
What to do if my sister is a chuunibyou: Now that I understand how to publish a mission, I can do the same in the future.
What to do if my sister is a chuunibyou: It's a pity though—the difficulty is marked as extremely high. I'm just an ordinary person; there's no way I could handle that.
Senju Princess: Extremely high difficulty? That's strange… mine only shows high difficulty.
Tenblade King: That's odd, mine also shows extremely high difficulty.
Tenblade King: Could it be that the difficulty rating adjusts based on each member's strength, so everyone sees something different?
What to do if my sister is a chuunibyou: That actually sounds quite reasonable.
Great Wall Guard Commander: Karl, about the mission…
What to do if my sister is a chuunibyou: Human lives are at stake here.
What to do if my sister is a chuunibyou: Karl, hurry and go save them be the hero of the world. @God of the Human Realm
[Group member God of the Human Realm has accepted the mission "Repel the Demonic Species".]
...
King's World.
Su Lie saw the system prompt from the Chat Group.
The tension that had gripped his face for so long finally eased.
Since Karl had accepted the mission, the situation was no longer hopeless.
After all this was someone who possessed abilities that defied common sense, including time manipulation and even resurrection.
Such powers were reminiscent of beings who could bend reality itself, similar in concept to figures like Doctor Strange or even the near-omnipotent control over existence displayed by Superman at his peak.
Su Lie simply could not believe that a few hundred Demonic Species would be able to threaten someone of that level.
At this moment the three leading Demonic Species had already charged directly in front of Su Lie once again.
Seeing the unexpectedly relaxed expression on the human's face, the three Demonic Species were instantly enraged.
Their instincts interpreted it as contempt.
Are you looking down on us?
We were clearly suppressing you just moments ago!
With furious roars, the three Demonic Species launched another coordinated attack toward Su Lie.
Su Lie immediately reactivated his Armament Haki, the black coating once again covering his arms and blade as he engaged them head-on.
Clang! Clash!
The sounds of violent impacts echoed continuously as he held the line.
However while Su Lie was occupied with the three powerful Demonic Species in front of him, the massive horde behind them seized the opportunity.
Hundreds of Demonic Species surged forward like a flood, bypassing the frontline and charging directly into Guan City.
Some of the faster ones had already crossed the boundary and entered the city streets.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!!"
Seeing the dense crowds of civilians within Guan City, the Demonic Species let out chaotic, guttural roars.
The sounds carried a disturbing sense of excitement, as if they had found prey.
Panic began to spread among the people.
At this critical moment
A figure suddenly appeared in the path of the invading Demonic Species.
Black hair.
Black eyes.
A calm yet imposing presence.
A handsome face that showed no trace of panic.
On his chest was an unmistakable S-shaped emblem.
He wore a sleek black battle suit that perfectly outlined his physique, with a large cape flowing behind him like a shadow.
His arrival was silent yet overwhelming.
Just like a god descending upon the battlefield.
Karl.
