Chapter 851 System Intern's Powers

Even as the Golden Griffin flew and fought on a less favourable footing, Grandma Yuan was still able to evade and counter while dishing out damage on the colossal manifestation.

It was also because all her techniques were solely for demon exorcising and thus its potency against this big bad boss was far higher than an ordinary cultivator's technique or the ones possessed by the Border Guards and Royal Horse Battalion.

However, the only thing that she was unable to do was to halt the waves of monsters constantly coming out of the belly of Loopa Ooofpa. She had already tried her best stopping the manifestation from moving forward, but with only one person on the scene, there was only so much the district guardian could do.

That was why she had asked her students and assistant to stay at the border walls.

The low glowing green hues that crept on the wall via Claire's technique got even brighter, and she pumped in even more chi into it. "Advanced Trap Formation: Slime Scarecrows!" She called out the name of the technique in order to fully stabilise the formation she created along varying sections of the border wall.

As the name depicted, the glowing green hues that seeped through the crevices of the damaged concrete border wall immediately grew slimes in the shape of scarecrows. The remaining Bone Spirit Infused Demons that tried to climb over or bash the wall had been met with significantly high resistance as the Slime Scarecrows shot slimy projectiles to slow and if possible, kill them.

For those who got too close were instead entrapped by them and subsequently strangled. Slowly with no air or oxygen, the infused demon died from asphyxiation as the slime entered into their airway and filled their lungs with nothing but semi-viscous fluid.

This trap formation had also brought the much needed relief to other sections of the border wall in Dongguan especially with the flames in the forest starting to die down near the border walls after the deadly napalm strike.

The firestorm was still spreading at a significant pace further from the wall, but there's nothing left in front of the wall for the flames to burn, giving way for the Bone Spirit Infused Demons to dash through the smoke for safety.

And without the flames to slow the demons, the border walls only had barebone defences against the horde until Claire summoned her Slime Scarecrows.

"This is amazing! We can at least wait for some reinforcements because of that!" Lian said as she saw Claire's trap formation techniques in action.

"It's not even the start of it. I have successfully modified it in the past month or so. Besides, when it comes to Trap Formations, I have to show my powers once in a while, right? Else I cannot be teaching any more students on such a topic." Claire lied through her teeth as she actually used the Sub System's power to modify her current technique.

The other monsters or bellators might have thought that she possessed the same powers as Qiu Yue. To use money to boost her offensive strength since Claire had the Financing Sub System with her. But that was not exactly the case for the intern.

Instead, any monster that she killed got converted into valuable metals or gems. (With of course heavy taxing by the System.) And with the properties of those valuable resources, Claire was able to power up her techniques.

The killing of Bone Infused Demons enabled her to earn a bag full of topaz which she immediately utilised to enhance her current trap formation. Due to this the Slime Scarecrows eventually evolved into Slime Topaz Scarecrows, allowing them to possess the ability to fire energy beams from afar or burn the demons when caught inside the slimes.

As the Slime Topaz Scarecrows were similar to a carnivorous flytrap, many of the Border Guards also made use of them by luring the Bone Spirit Infused Demons towards them for better offensive options.

"Claire, I have information to pass to Grandma Yuan. But seeing that she is busy fighting, the System prevents me talking to her." Hou Fei informed the young woman via the System Channel.

"Shoot." Claire said as she held onto a topaz and used its energy to create a sunburst effect, blinding the demons in front of her. It allowed the Demon Exorcists to finish them up in a jiffy. Hou Fei then explained the situation to her, and she understood the current state of the problem they were in.

"I understand. Basically, we just need something to aim at those eerie-looking holes so the Royal Zodiac Dragon Air Force can blast them to kingdom come?" Claire summed it up.

"Yeah, preferably doing some damage to them at the same time but they are using some sort of gravity like bomb to take the target out. So I have no idea what could be used to complement it." Hou Fei replied, but suddenly it clicked on Claire.

"Hey, Lein! You remember when you did that electro ball trick which nearly devastated the entire place and created a crater?" Claire queried as she went to Lein's side.

"Ehhh, yeah. What's up with it?" Lein had a blank look on his face as he was not expecting such a random question out of the blue.

"Can you replicate that and shoot them towards those genitalia looking holes?"

"You mean the monster's vaginas?" It was obvious Lein was holding his giggle back.

"Language!" Claire beat his head but at the same time, instinctively stifled a short chuckle. "It doesn't have to be at full power, just something enough to wound it."

"It will be hard to do so at this distance. If I try, I can't guarantee that I will have much control especially when this is a technique I have yet to master. Why do you need it??" Lein asked as he continued to stake a lookout for more demons.

"Because the Royal Dragon Air Force is coming down to beat the shit out of that thing and your electro orb seems like the best marker we can use to guide their bombs," Claire replied.

"Sounds like an adventure that Grandma Yuan will kill us for!" Lian was nearby and overheard the conversation, wanting to be in.

"I am only asking Lein about his assessment for this task. If it is too risky, I am just gonna need a lightning trace towards those holes."

"As defiant as this sounds, that electro orb thing is probably the best way to help Grandma Yuan." Su Zhen agreed as she wanted in.

"Why are you all here when I was talking to Lein only a few seconds ago?!"

"Call it team telepathy!" Rong exposed their trick and got knocked by Lian's fist.

"Don't worry. I believe we already have a plan to accomplish that. Besides, it should be safer if we do it together." Lein looked at the others, and they winked back at him with a complimentary thumbs up.

"Just don't make things too worrying for Grandma Yuan…" Claire warned as she let them go since it was her fault to overlook that they were a close knitted team.
