Chapter 102: Chapter 85 The End of Evil (4k)_2
This beastly consciousness is also a double-edged sword, enhancing the transformed person's instinctive intuition and giving them sharper reactions in combat, yet it can also cause a disruption in their judgment ability, making it very difficult to discern the strength of friends and foes alike.
Within the instincts of Remnant Beasts, there is never a notion of seeking benefits and avoiding harm, only destruction and slaughter, unless they are truly at death's door, they wouldn't recognize what danger is.
And at this moment, facing the fire-like Magic Power, it finally felt a profound sense of fear.
By using this white Magic Power, Lin Xiaolu could easily harm it, rendering its originally formidable defense as thin as paper in front of her.
The purple-black Remnant Beast Magic Power curled up, shrinking back as if resisting intersection with this white Magic Power, the innate fear of power finally awakened its reason.
So, it howled and then, seizing the retreat momentum after the attack, it violently turned around and, with a few leaps, fled the scene, trying to escape.
Lin Xiaolu had not expected the enemy in front of her to suddenly change direction and opt for escape, her face stern as she fired several Magic Power Beams at its fleeing trajectory. However, to her surprise, even when the Magic Power hit its back, it still couldn't be stopped.
She furrowed her brow, ready to incite her Magic Power to chase, but suddenly noticed that a mirror had been set up in front of her at some unknown time.
Turning her head, Lin Xiaolu saw Xia Liang not far off lying on the ground, slightly opening her eyes, somewhat in disarray as she gestured a cutting motion toward her.
"Give it a ruthless one." she said.
Looking up, Lin Xiaolu saw that, ahead on the path, six mirrors had appeared out of nowhere, positioned at angled locations in a circle, all pointing in the direction of the fleeing Remnant Beast.
"Holding a grudge now?" she couldn't help but ask.
Xia Liang then found a more comfortable position to lie down, smiling as she closed her eyes: "This is called attending to official duties."
So, the blazing white Magic Power Beam erupted toward the mirrors set up along the road.
The white beam of light quickly hit the nearest mirror and then transmitted down the line, jumping forward at a terrifying speed along the zigzagging path. Finally, the light concentrated in the distance, striking the Remnant Beast's body head-on.
This time, the Magic Power Beam penetrated its chest without any hindrance.
"Roar—ahhhhh!"
Purple-black Magic Power continuously leaked out, the huge form began to shrink, and the deep howls of the Remnant Beast turned into human cries of pain. The man retrieved his human form from within the pitch-black Remnant Beast body, as the contorted beast's head gradually revealed his original visage.
"So it is, so it is..."
He ran forward frantically with an expression of pain and struggle on his face, but for some reason, there was also a hint of excitement: "To think there's another sacrificial offering, so this is how Gong Chu Eleven died... To have two sacrificial offerings appear in this city in such a short time!"
After being pierced by the white Magic Power, he could feel his life and Magic Power quickly seeping away, but it was this very fact that steeled his resolve.
He did not want to die here yet.
"It's not over yet, it can't be over..."
Seeing that Lin Xiaolu was about to catch up from behind, he finally set his face in determination, with a pained expression making a decision, grasping the purple-black flesh on his chest and then squeezing fiercely.
Boom!
The green tubes throughout his body exploded, and the purple-black mist that was flowing within burst out, forming massive clouds of fog, which stood in front of Lin Xiaolu, obstructing her view.
This blood fog was a product of him damaging his own beastly organs, stimulating the Remnant Beast blood and Magic Power within, containing intensely potent poison and hallucinogenic components. It was both a trump card meant for perishing together with the enemy and a means to continue causing trouble for the enemy after death.
But now, he used it cleverly, not fully activating it, but rather using it as a smokescreen.
Blocking his own movements with the blood fog, the man's face was strained with bulging veins, yet he bore the pain silently, covered his chest and suddenly jumped up.
Behind him, Lin Xiaolu summoned up her white Magic Power, continuously dispersing the blood fog around her. Unafraid of the effects of the poison fog, she quickly broke through it, but when she emerged, the man's figure had vanished from her view.
"Damn it, where did he go!"
She hurriedly looked around but could not see which way the man had gone.
Meanwhile, beneath her blind spot, a black figure had swiftly climbed up a nearby building and started to jump clumsily among the high rises.
The man's transformation into a Remnant Beast was nearly over, deflating like a punctured balloon. His originally huge body, inflated to four or five meters tall, was now barely over two meters, which gave it a somewhat comical look.
However, he could not afford to care about his appearance and injuries, with his face twisted in ferocity, he leaped desperately towards the outskirts of the district.
"A city, two sacrificial offerings... and a mysterious Magical Girl, Fangting City, there must be some other secrets here."
He muttered to himself, strategizing, "This is indeed a big surprise, I must survive and get this information out, bring it to 'the Moth,' then I can get stronger..."
In the midst of his escape, his words suddenly stopped.
It might have been an illusion, but from the distant sky, he thought he saw a flash of azure blue.
"Blue?"
Realizing something, his expression started to grow dark.
He remembered the target he had been avoiding on this journey, but behind him was the sacrificer wielding white magic power; there was no possibility of turning back to escape anymore.
Changing direction now and trying to leave from the side would probably be too late. By his estimations, in a dozen seconds or so, he would collide with that fast-moving person, their paths inevitably intersecting.
In that brief moment, driven by a strong desire to survive, he began to devise a new plan. When his gaze fell on the crowd below the high-rise buildings, an idea suddenly dawned on him:
He might be able to blend in with them.
The other's flying speed was fast, so in a sudden encounter, it would likely be impossible to use any powerful offensive moves right away but would instinctively choose to defend.
If that was the case, he could bluff and pretend to engage the opponent head-on, when in reality, he would use a feigned attack to draw their attention, causing them to instinctively attack or defend, allowing him to quickly dive towards the street below.
Once in the crowd, even if he was pursued again, he could use the lives of ordinary people as bargaining chips to negotiate with these Magical Girls.
The man went through his calculations in his mind, and during that brief pondering, the distant blue light had already approached. Immediately, he steeled his resolve and leaped towards the direction of the light.
Almost the instant he leaped, he first fired several purple-black Magic Bullets upwards, then suddenly changed direction, plummeting towards the ground below.
Faced with the sudden attack, the opponent would have to defend themselves somehow, and he would use that opportunity to create a window of time; then there might be a chance...
Boom!
His thoughts halted right there.
Because the blue light, like a comet, shot straight through his body, the azure Magic Power trail piercing him and enveloping his entire being in a radiant glow with intense destructive force.
The man, or the Remnant Beast, was instantly torn in two.
The severed body twirled in the air, and the last thing the man saw was the blue figure, with two question-filled words arising in his mind.
Leaf tier?
Then, his consciousness plunged into silence.
After piercing the man in the sky, the blue comet suddenly stopped midair. The petite blue-haired girl emerged from the Flow of Magical Power, subconsciously holding her forehead, then shook her Magic Wand with a look of disgust.
After shaking off the Remnant Beast's blood from it, she turned her head and clicked her tongue:
"Tch, disgusting bug."
