Chapter 1114 - The Royal Zodiac Battalions' Need To Win
"HEEEEEEEEEE HIIIIIII YIIIIIIIIIIIIIII~!" The Southern Ooofpa Loopa's screeches caused an incoming barrage of Katyusha elemental rockets to be diverted away from it and they exploded midway as the screeching sound waves were enough to cause an impact.
The Pandarens who saw the sudden change of development started to feel extremely nervous since this was the first time that the Southern Ooofpa Loopa had directly taken any action. So far it had merely spent its time spawning the eggs from which the Bone Spirit Sea Demons would emergy to fight against the Pandarens and slowly approached their location.
Despite the Big Boss starting its counterattack, the Bone Spirit Sea Demons were not letting up with their attacks too. A few of the Royal Tiger Soldiers who had been stationed at the Southern area to give their Tiger General Ya Bai constant updates met with pretty hefty resistance.
"The Southern Ooofpa Loopa just sent out another wave and this time, it seems that we might not have enough firepower to match against." One of the Tiger Scouts reported.
"Is it some Giant Squid or Octopus?" Ya Bai asked as they also saw several new additions to the Northern Bone Spirit Demon Horde which he had never seen during his fight against the real one weeks ago. Bone Spirit Velociraptors were emerging out of the fog and they were two times faster than the current wave of Demons, breaking the Royal Zodiac Battalions acc.u.mulated momentum.
While the Pandarens manning the artillery guns on the Demopolis Wall were independent of the Royal Zodiac Battalions, Pandawans Deng Long and Se Lang were constantly exchanging information with the soldiers to provide necessary support on the ground. They had dedicated four to five artillery guns to aid as the ground support and the rest were used to combat against the Northern Ooofpa Loopa.
As of now, they had managed to reduce the Northern Ooofpa Loopa down to 30% of its hit points but the Southern Ooofpa Loopa was still around the 50% mark. However, unlike its Southern cousin, the Northern Ooofpa Loopa had still not launched any counter attacks and merely continued to send out batches of stronger and stronger Bone Spirit Demons against the cultivators.
It was still difficult but manageable for the Royal Zodiac Battalions to hold the ground in the open space. And yet the streamers who were watching the fight were finally able to see their Royal Zodiac Cultivators fight to the best of their 'public' limits. Some might have incurred serious injuries but the inscriptions and potions which the Battalions poured their money tremendously into had allowed them to stay alive.
Both of the Generals were aware that the public must be watching them through various streaming platforms and it would be pathetic if their Battalions were to fall in battle because they had ordered them to restrain themselves. They would also felt responsible if their actions would lead to the Pandarens failing in this raid instance. Thus, Hou Fei and Ya Bai had allowed the unlimited spending of the necessary raid supplies to ensure that they would survive and triumph against the Ooofpa Loopa.
Yet, that was not all they had in mind. The newspapers had painted them as the saviours of the previous event despite it not being the case. Even though they were the 'scapegoats', the two Royal Zodiac Battalions could not wash the shame that they were assisted by a small name Dungeon Supplier. Although there had been State Agents in the area, Kong Rong and Ryuli had admitted in their reports that they did not need to unleash their abilities since the Dungeon Supplier's team had been able to clear the entire incident without their help.
Initially, they had only wanted to test Jin's strength but it had subsequently turned into his debut when both he and his people had banished the Loopa Ooofpa into oblivion. The two Generals, while relieved to know that they were only doing clean-ups and assisting with the redevelopment of the land once more (as requested by Jin since the Spirit of the Lands had a deal with the System), they were not satisfied with the reported outcome… until now.
They had never expected to ever see the Loopa Oofpa again. Even Hou Fei, who was one of the associates for the Dungeon Supplier store, had been completely baffled when he got news about the Final Boss being that accursed monster.
So, since the opportunity to redeem their failures in the raid instance had appeared, they intended to not only reinforce to the public that they were indeed capable of clearing the raid instances, but they also wanted to let the public see that it was indeed the 'Royal Zodiac Battalions' who had defeated the abomination and properly hide the rumours that it was some random cultivator that did it.
To Hou Fei, it was all about damage control for his battalion while promoting Jin's Dungeons and Pandas AND keeping Jin's involvement with the real Loopa Ooofpa a low profile.

"There's a short interval where the Ooofpa Loopa changed its immunity by vibrating its entire body, as if he is shaking it off. We should use that time to hit as hard as possible." General Ya Bai pointed out as he grabbed one of the Bone Spirit Velociraptors and crushed its head like an orange squash.
"So far, it's all elemental projectiles, if we hit it with our fists with pure chi energy, it should be counted as a non elemental attack." General Hou Fei mentioned as he literally cooked the head of a raptor with pure chi while it was being pinned down. The Bone Spirit Velociraptor was unable to perform any counterattack despite trying to sway its body weight around away from Hou Fei.
However as the two were discussing their next move which could potentially end the fight for the Northern Ooofpa Loopa, it suddenly started to screech the same way as its Southern counterpart.
A large b.u.t.t was seen emerging out from the magical portal and everyone feared the worst.
"A THIRD Ooofpa Loopa?! In the middle of the city?! You have to shitting me!!!" Xiong Da cursed as he could go insane from the absurdity of the current situation. However, they were unable to verify the monster emerging out of it since they had never seen the entirety of an Ooofpa Loopa before. (Maybe it had small little legs too…? Who knows!)
At that point, Pandarens also reported a few Bone Spirit Demons dropping out of the magical portal, dropping from the sky. But because of the height, most of the Bone Spirits Demons merely fell to their death. Yet, that was enough to scare the Pandarens since it was akin to projectiles falling out of the sky, damaging their defence barriers and equipment.
"Shit. We have to kill our Ooofpa Loopa fast before it summons another one!" Hou Fei shouted but Ya Bai stopped him for a moment to think.
"Remember what the previous Ooofpa Loopa did? It screeched too but nothing happened. What if that screech was actually his summoning rather than the one we are fighting?"
"You mean…" Hou Fei could understand the dilemma Ya Bai was facing. If Yai Bai was correct then it would mean they had to defeat the Southern one to stop its casting. However, if they stopped attacking the Northern boss, it might also summon a replacement…
But when all hope seemed to disappear, there was one thing they could count on. Flying through the air, was it a bird? Was it a plane? Nope, it was a Supa Robot to save the day!
