Volume 2, Chapter 67 – Hmm? Trying to Escape?

“ROOOAAR!!”

Facing the white Infernal Hound’s imposing swipe, Brak-Vonima gritted his teeth and, propelled by spiritual energy, leaped high into the air.

Meanwhile, Resentment’s curse-infused claw struck the ground violently, sending shockwaves and wild cursed energy that pulverized everything around it.

After dodging Resentment’s attack, a cold gleam flashed in Brak’s eyes.

Having temporarily lured out this Vassal Tier monster, Brak saw no need to hold back anymore. The spiritual energy within him, symbolizing his high position in the Divine Departure Realm, suddenly erupted without restraint.

Following his movements, thick pink mist gushed from his palms, quickly spreading forward and enveloping the five-headed Infernal Hound.

Terrifying corrosive power howled forth in an instant. Surrounding rocks were instantly corrupted into nauseating, viscous liquid.

Under the mist’s erosion, low “wails” constantly emerged from the pink fog. The Infernal Hound’s silhouette flickered in and out of visibility, struggling as if being corroded by the caustic mist.

Seeing this, Brak’s smile grew increasingly smug, as if he could already see the dawn of victory.

Scattered.

“Did it work?!”

However, just when he thought the scales of victory were tipping in his favor, a blinding crimson light erupted without warning from within the mist.

The next instant, the crimson light pierced through the pink mist like a sword. Immediately after, a thick crimson Abyss Hex blast shot out from the mist, carrying devastating power, instantly dispersing the pink fog.

Resentment’s attack moved with a speed that defied reaction, directly penetrating the entire estate. The estate’s walls, trees, and even the ground turned to dust under the impact of the Abyss Hex blast. The laser’s remaining force continued forward, eventually crashing into a distant lake.

“BOOM—!”

An earth-shattering explosion sounded, instantly lifting the lake’s surface dozens of meters high, splashing water everywhere as if the entire lake was boiling at that moment. The explosion’s shockwave swept through, completely destroying nearby buildings, filling the air with heavy smoke and moisture.

The powerful impact struck Brak directly, sending his body flying before he crashed heavily onto the ground, blood trickling from his mouth.

He struggled to raise his head, looking toward the Infernal Hound, fear flashing in his eyes.

Under Brak’s anxious gaze, Resentment’s massive form slowly emerged from the dust cloud, all heads simultaneously emitting low growls, the crimson laser gradually dissipating from its mouth. The gaze from multiple heads immediately converged on Brak as soon as they emerged from the mist.

Due to the mist’s corrosion, Resentment was covered in blood, with bones even exposed on several heads.

However, with a surge of white curse energy, all wounds instantly regenerated.

“…….”

Seeing his attack had no effect, a bitter expression spread across Brak’s beautiful face.

As Lord Duan’s right-hand man, Brak’s strength was unquestionable. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been sent to deal with Xi Xuan-West.

However, though Brak’s abilities were powerful, they clearly targeted humans or Vassals of Sky with lower defenses… When dealing with Vassals of Earth—thick-skinned creatures with extreme regenerative abilities—he seemed particularly strained.

Damn it!

Why, why would a Vassal Tier creature suddenly appear!

You’ve got to be kidding!

Brak screamed hysterically in his heart. Unfortunately, this “beautiful man” had no time to continue thinking and complaining about this matter, because at this moment, Brak discovered another fact that made him extremely uneasy.

Staring at Resentment’s four terrifying heads, Brak’s pupils suddenly contracted.

Wait a minute?

Didn’t Resentment have five heads?! How did one go missing?! Where did the other one go?!

“Could it be!”

In an instant, Brak abruptly turned to look behind him.

As it turned out, Brak’s battle experience was indeed quite rich, and his judgment was quite correct. Unfortunately, his realization came too late…

The next moment, the ground cracked, curse energy surged wildly. Surrounded by white light, a snow-white Infernal Hound emanating murderous aura emerged from underground, opened its bloody maw, and pounced directly at Brak.

“What the fuck?! It can split its body!! I’m f—”

Just as the curse words escaped his mouth, Brak was suddenly seized by the Infernal Hound, pinned to the ground, and savagely mauled.

At this moment, the pink spiritual energy in the world was firmly suppressed by the terrifying white curse power…

Without a doubt, in the battle with Resentment, Brak had already fallen to a disadvantage.

But regardless, Brak, possessing Divine Departure Realm strength, along with numerous fearless bio-mechanical soldiers, still barely managed to contain Resentment.

As for those from House Anloxi facing Mercy, their fate was far more miserable.

Although following Coburn-Anloxi’s panicked orders, the Anloxi family members had exerted their utmost to attack Mercy.

However, whether using spiritual energy bombardments, mechanical soldier self-detonation attacks, or countless laser bullet barrages, none could inflict direct damage on Mercy.

Despite its massive size, the black cat’s figure moved like a specter, evading every attack as if it had predicted everyone’s movements.

Moreover, its offensive movements were equally difficult to track.

Claws carved through the air with flashes of cold light, each swing bringing a gust of bloody rain. The guards’ armor was as fragile as paper under its claws, instantly torn to pieces, blood splattering.

The drones and mechanical guardians Coburn urgently summoned were equally vulnerable, their armor easily penetrated. Sparks and metal fragments flew in all directions, instantly becoming piles of scrap metal.

“Don’t retreat! Continue attacking!”

A loyal guard captain shouted, his voice carrying a slight tremor.

However, as soon as his words fell, the black cat’s figure appeared before him like lightning. With a swipe of its claws, the captain’s body was instantly torn in half, blood spraying into the air, staining the surrounding ground red.

The next moment, Mercy opened her massive jaws, suddenly condensing a ball of dazzling lightning.

With a deep roar, the lightning exploded, transforming into countless thunderbolts sweeping in all directions. Guards and mechanical soldiers nearby instantly turned to ash under the thunderbolts’ impact. The air was filled with a charred smell, as if even the earth was trembling.

In just an instant, dozens of House Anloxi members were directly eliminated by Mercy.

Many guards, seeing this, began to contemplate retreat.

But when they tried to flee, Mercy would charge toward them with lightning speed, killing them with a single swipe.

Clearly, this Vassal Tier monster was toying with her prey.

“Re-retreat…”

Seeing his subordinates cut down like vegetables by Mercy, though Coburn still felt anger, alongside that anger grew increasing unease.

After a brief engagement, Coburn could already be certain: that Vassal Tier monster was definitely beyond their ability to handle…

Now Mercy was obviously playing with them; if that monster became serious, they would face total annihilation in an instant.

However, if we can’t handle Mercy, that doesn’t mean we can’t handle you!

“Ignore that monster! Capture Lianna-Anloxi directly!”

Pointing his scepter at the ethereal blue figure in the pool of blood, Coburn shouted at the top of his lungs.

Mercy and Resentment.

The two Vassal Tier monsters under Terran Malevolence Gaia Lobir—why had they evaded layers of defenses to appear here…

Coburn couldn’t understand. But Coburn was certain that these two monsters were now under Lianna’s control. If they could capture her!

They could end all of this!

However, controlling Lianna didn’t seem as easy as Coburn had imagined.

After a flurry of blade flashes, those guards who followed Coburn’s orders and charged toward Lianna were directly cut down by the blue-haired girl into pools of blood. Yet the girl still maintained an indifferent demeanor, her expression not even changing.

Hmm, maybe that’s not quite right?

Rеaԁ oո KаtRеaⅾiոɡCаfе

It seems she’s drooling?

“Damn it!!”

The enraged Coburn suddenly raised his staff, condensing surging water-attribute spiritual energy atop it, and with Coburn’s roar, blasted it toward the distant Bai Lianyue.

Of course, Coburn’s attack ended in failure without suspense. Although the impressive spiritual energy wave killed several unfortunate guards, just as it was about to hit Bai Lianyue, strange thorns suddenly burst from the ground and scattered it, turning it into blue spiritual particles that dissipated in the wind.

“Damn it?! What is this thing now!”

Seeing his attack blocked by thorns, Coburn almost felt like having a brain hemorrhage.

But Coburn’s anger quickly turned to fear and anxiety.

Because this attack, though unsuccessful, directly attracted Mercy’s attention…

That terrifying black beast had already crouched down, fixing its crimson eyes on Coburn. Not just Mercy—the blue-haired girl who had just cut down dozens of people also turned her ice-cold, penetrating gaze toward Coburn.

No, this is bad!

Feeling a terrible premonition, Coburn retreated several steps.

The next moment, guided by fear and survival instinct, Coburn disregarded his family members fighting to the death, grabbed his staff, and fled toward the rear in a pathetic state.

Watching Coburn’s retreating figure, Bai Lianyue’s emerald eyes narrowed slightly. Then, the girl glanced sideways at the black cat beside her.
