Chapter 31 The Titled Cultist <TOC> Chapter 33 Instant Kill
Translator: SumTLMan
Li Mu twirled his knife, alleviating the discomfort caused by the burst of energy. So far, he had severely wounded one of the seven monsters and slightly injured one, while the remaining five were unscathed. However, Smolte had kept one monster to guard himself, so he now only had to deal with five monsters.
If he used the Shock Calamity, he should be able to slay these troublesome monsters with one slash, but the recognition of the Seven Demon Calamities was too high, and if he was recognized, his identity would be exposed.
The knife sliced through the air, making a whistling sound.
Li Mu narrowed his eyes, ready to face the monsters’ siege.
Smolte, sitting on the car’s bucket seat, clenched his fingers, and the rest of the monsters roared and lunged at Li Mu.
They opened their big mouths and wildly tore and bit, the rancid smell making one nauseous.
Li Mu only used the long sword in his hand to defend himself, and the sharp teeth of these monsters bit on the blade, making a clanging sound.
He kicked the monster that was tightly biting the sword out.
Gunshots rang out, and Li Mei fired a long shot, the whistling hail of bullets whistled on the monsters, sparks spattered, and tracer bullets flew around.
Her NII-203 was too weak, and its threat to these monsters was very limited. Even if she hit the face, it only popped out sparks.
These monsters seemed to be deliberately created for the manipulation of the awakening system.
But her bullets also disrupted the monsters’ offensive, allowing Li Mu to grab the opportunity.
A monster that was ahead had its vision instantly occupied by the fierce blade light, and the blade light was like electricity, an ordinary slash, and when Li Mu followed up with a thrust, there was a powerful aura of nothing left unscathed.
The blade first sliced into the monster’s facial bones, Li Mu pulled and cut with his psychic energy, enlarging the wound, and then twisted his wrist and stabbed, plunging the tip of the blade deeply into the monster’s brain.
The monster gave a terrifying and pitiful scream, its body convulsed violently, and the rancid blood spewed out from the wound pierced by the knife.
【Source essence +4.2】
The source essence of these monsters was surprisingly scarce, mismatching their formidable combat power.
Li Mu drew his knife and shook off the monster’s body from the tip. The rest of the monsters had already rushed in front of them.
With a roar like a bomb, Li Mu turned his voice into a storm-like thrust with a dragon’s roar, blowing away the several monsters that charged in front.
He leaped directly, and with momentum, he hacked a monster’s waist with his knife. The knife severed a few tough hairs and cut a fierce wound on the monster’s waist.
Li Mei seized the opportunity, pulled the trigger, and several bullets accurately hit the wound on that monster, the cavity effect making the soft internal organs of the monster directly mashed into a mess.
“Bam!”
The monster fell to the ground like a torn bag.
【Source essence +3.6】
Its body was like a fountain, gushing blood.
These monsters had an unusual amount of blood on them, and each time they were killed, the amount of bleeding was exaggerated. Li Mu landed on his feet, feeling the sticky and slippery fresh blood under his feet, and frowned.
Smolte’s face became very unsightly. In his opinion, a small fifth-level awakener, as long as he releases his bloodthirsty beasts, he can easily tear him into pieces.
But after a comparison, to his surprise, it was the bloodthirsty beasts he controlled that suffered heavy losses.
As a titled cultist of the Soul Cult, he naturally has a holy relic. His holy relic is Hidden Breath, which can reduce his own and the presence of psychic energy control targets.
This holy relic is perfect for him as an awakener with weak combat ability, as it can protect himself well and avoid being beheaded by beheading tactics.
But when he was ambushed, he had already used the Hidden Breath to reduce the presence of two transport vehicles, with serious psychic energy consumption. He could no longer use the holy relic to reduce the presence of himself and his bloodthirsty beasts.
But now, seeing that Li Mu looks no different from psychic energy exhaustion, it is feared that the remaining three bloodthirsty beasts will also be defeated by him.
The brute Meirweir, also known as the Beast of Darkness, was suppressed by that woman and if they don’t come up with a solution, their entire army will be wiped out here.
The once secure mission was about to fail.
Moreover, these bloodthirsty beasts created had an insatiable desire for flesh deeply ingrained in their souls. The more they fought, the stronger this desire became. If this continued, even if they defeated their opponents, these dangerous bloodthirsty beasts would lose control and turn on them directly.
He devoted all his energy to studying the manipulation of psychic energy, and his own combat ability was almost non-existent. He feared that he would be devoured alive by the bloodthirsty beasts that his subordinates controlled.
Thinking of this, Smolte took out a potion from his pocket and swallowed it with a bite. His expression was very ugly, as if he had swallowed concentrated sulfuric acid.
Firstly, the taste of secondary psychic potions was already very bad, like the mucus of a booger mixed with stinky fat. Secondly, the price of secondary psychic potions was expensive, one cost as much as the price of a primary energy potion.
But its effect was worth the high price. Smolte immediately felt that his previously depleted psychic energy was rapidly recovering.
“Ha!”
He immediately activated the holy relic, and his own existence disappeared from Li Mu’s eyes. Soon, several ferocious bloodthirsty beasts also slowly disappeared, as if they had never appeared here.
“Be careful! They have not truly disappeared, but have erased their presence!”
Li Mei quickly changed a magazine and swept her gun towards Li Mu’s surroundings. Those bloodthirsty beasts still had a physical form, and when the bullets hit, sparks burst out immediately.
“Hah!”
Li Mu breathed out and yelled, rushing towards the direction where the bullet hit, with his knife in hand, piercing and slashing.
What he pierced was immediately followed by a surge of putrid blood from the void.
Li Mu immediately advanced to slash, but instead slashed at empty air. The alert bloodthirsty beast had already left its original location and left behind a bloody footprint on the ground.
The sound of whistling wind came from behind, and he bristled, immediately turning to dodge, but his shoulder was still clawed and bled.
The bloodthirsty beasts continued to attack, and Li Mu could only passively draw his knife to defend and guard the vital points. In a moment, his body was covered with wounds caused by the bloodthirsty beasts.
He could hear the intense breathing and greedy choking of the bloodthirsty beasts, but he could not see their figures.
This kind of unknown terror was enough to drive a weak-willed person insane.
Li Mu quickly transferred his position to the blood pool on the ground and used the blood on the ground to judge the position of the monsters.
But these bloodthirsty beasts were not foolish, let alone having Smolte manipulating them from behind. They directly used their strong jumping ability to jump over the blood on the ground and reach with their claws.
Li Mei held her sword handle, ready to take action. She thought that she could only kill the woman Shen Luoyan later.
The Hidden Breath holy relic can hide the presence of objects in the field of vision, but using mental rays can easily determine their position.
Shen Luoyan, who was entangled with Meirweir, moved in her heart, ready to unleash the holy relic and eliminate all enemies on the scene.
Just then, Li Mu suddenly closed his eyes, closing his eyes to face these terrifying bloodthirsty beasts.
“Don’t worry, I can take care of them!”
