142: Chapter 138 I Want Rivers of Blood!

"I'm coming too!"

The Iron-Eating Beast let out a roar, and lightning crackled across its entire body.

[ Bear Dominating the World — Full Power! ]

It surged from the size of an Iron-Eating Beast cub to ten meters tall!

Its whole body was covered in armor condensed from lightning, and terrifying bolts of electricity flashed within its eyes.

"Roar——!!!"

Like a frenzied thunderous beast, it charged into the horde of monsters.

It threw a punch!

Lightning exploded,

and a Troll was blasted away, its body turning into charcoal in mid-air!

Its punching style displayed a unique rhythm; it alternated left and right punches, becoming faster and more ferocious!

Behind it, the phantom image of a black and white Tai Chi diagram slowly emerged.

— 59473!

— 60822!

— 62239!

— 63656!

[ Tai Chi!! ]

[ Lethal Tempo!! ]

The damage kept increasing!

The speed kept increasing!

Furthermore, every punch carried lightning-elemental damage.

It dealt lightning-elemental damage equal to its attack power to several surrounding targets simultaneously!

Crackle, pop——!!!

Wherever the lightning passed, monsters were reduced to charcoal!

Under the buff of powerful attributes, the Iron-Eating Beast moved as if through empty space, rampaging through the monster horde.

Wherever it passed,

it left only scorched corpses and the smell of roasted meat lingering in the air.

"Actual combat is the best training!"

The Iron-Eating Beast shouted excitedly while fighting.

"I want to become stronger!"

"Hahaha!"

"Your master is here!"

The voice of the Demon Pill echoed across the battlefield like a ghost.

Bang, bang, bang!!!

Its body continuously collided with the bodies of the monsters one after another.

With every collision,

the Demon Pill's speed would suddenly increase slightly.

[ Speed + 10 ]

[ Speed + 10 ]

[ ... ]

In the blink of an eye, Tap Dance had stacked up hundreds of layers.

The Demon Pill's speed was so fast that it was almost impossible to track with the naked eye.

One could only see a constantly flickering line of fire and the lingering flaming afterimages.

It zipped crazily through the monster horde.

With every collision, the damage also grew higher.

At the same time,

a delayed-explosion flame trail was left on the ground along the path the Demon Pill flew.

[ Earth Resurgence! ]

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Because the Demon Pill was too fast.

The flame trails on the ground connected to each other, forming a sea of fire.

The monsters had no time to react before being swallowed by the explosions.

"Too slow!"

"You are all too slow!"

The Demon Pill shouted excitedly, its speed still stacking continuously.

[ Tap Dance — 1000 Layers! ]

[ Movement Speed: 10000+! ]

It was so fast it was almost tearing the air apart.

In the eyes of the monsters, it was like a constantly flickering flaming meteor, impossible to track, let alone attack.

"Come and hit me!"

"Come on!"

The Demon Pill crazily taunted the monsters.

Wherever it passed, explosions occurred one after another, and the sea of fire spread.

Its damage kept increasing, and its speed kept getting faster.

Furthermore, because of the effect of the [ Giant Slayer ] rune.

It dealt higher damage to enemies larger than itself.

On the battlefield, almost all the monsters were larger than it.

So—

Every one of its hits was a critical hit!

"Woohoo, your master is coming~"

!!!

Above the city walls.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

The golden Giant Skeleton Soldier.

The Iron-Eating Beast clad in lightning armor.

The dragon-shaped Slime soaring in the sky.

The Demon Pill turning into afterimages.

These four Magic Pets were like four sharp blades, completely tearing apart the formation of the demon army.

"Is this... is this Lu Yuan's strength?"

General Yuan Muzhi muttered to himself, his voice trembling.

"One person... four Magic Pets..."

"They actually... managed to block the demon army's offensive?!"

No.

Not blocking.

It was crushing!

The Little Skeleton attracted fire at the front, using its own strength to draw the attention of countless monsters!

The Slime was outputting damage crazily from underneath.

Percentage-based True Damage, indiscriminate bombing!

The Iron-Eating Beast rampaged on the flank, wreathed in lightning, left punch, right punch, the damage getting higher and higher!

The Demon Pill zipped through the battlefield, its speed increasing, flame trails, explosions everywhere!

The four Magic Pets cooperated perfectly, like four war machines.

They tore a gap right through the endless monster frenzy!

"He alone... kills more than our entire legion..."

"No, not just him."

The young soldier beside him swallowed hard, "It's his Magic Pets... those four Magic Pets, each one is a monster!"

Shock.

Unparalleled shock enveloped everyone on the city wall.

And higher up on the battlefield, several figures stood in the air, their gazes fixed intently on that golden figure raging in the ocean of monsters.

Li Muyao stood at the cabin door of the smart fighter jet, her hands gripping the railing tightly, her knuckles turning white.

Her eyes were full of worry, but even more so—pride.

"Yuan'er..."

"Have you grown to this extent already?"

Beside her, the figure of Black Impermanence emerged from the shadows.

On that face, which was covered by shadows all year round, a rare trace of shock appeared.

"Madam."

"The Young Master's Magic Pets... are strong."

"Very strong."

"And, they are still growing stronger."

Previously in the Goblin dungeon, these four Magic Pets had already displayed unparalleled combat power.

But now,

in less than two days,

these four Magic Pets had actually become even more monstrous.

Li Muyao nodded, her gaze fixed intently on Lu Yuan.

He stood so calmly on the Little Skeleton's shoulder, hands in his pockets.

As if all of this was just a matter of course.

Further away,

General Yuan Muzhi, Principal Wu Long, and Principal Kiran stood side by side.

The expressions of all three were exceptionally grave, but deep in their eyes, scorching flames were burning.

"Old Wu, did you see it?"

General Yuan Muzhi's voice was hoarse, "Those four Magic Pets... each one is abnormal."

Principal Wu Long nodded, his eyes like torches.

"The Slime's mucus bombs are percentage-based True Damage."

"This damage mechanism can, theoretically, instantly kill any existence."

"But its weakness is also very obvious—its attack method is singular and easily countered."

Principal Kiran took up the conversation, looking toward the direction of the Iron-Eating Beast.

"Is that... the Iron-Eating Beast you mentioned that has comprehended Tai Chi?"

"If it can truly evolve into a Tai Chi Bear..."

The three looked at each other, and all saw the shock in each other's eyes.

Tai Chi Bear.

An existence above the Legendary Tier.

A God-Tier Magic Pet!

"And that mutant species, the Flame Magic Pill."

General Yuan Muzhi narrowed his eyes, "Its speed... is just too terrifying."

"Does this not have a limit?"

"If that is really the case, given enough time, wouldn't it be able to exceed the speed of light?"

"Exceed the speed of light..."

Principal Wu Long nodded slowly, "Theoretically, yes."

General Yuan Muzhi took a deep breath, his gaze finally falling on the Little Skeleton.

"But the most terrifying one is still that Skeleton Soldier."

"Huge size, terrifying HP, defensive capabilities, and strong explosive power..."

"Any one of these abilities is more monstrous than those of Legendary-class professionals, yet now, all these abilities are gathered in one Magic Pet."

"It is like... an existence without limits."

"If it is allowed to continue growing."

General Yuan Muzhi's voice grew lower and lower, but every word sounded like a thunderclap, exploding in the hearts of the three.

"It might..."

"Become a true god."

Dead silence.

The three fell into silence simultaneously.

They watched that golden figure on the battlefield, watched it use its own strength to tear a gap right through the ocean of monsters.

An unspeakable emotion surged in their hearts.

Shock.

Fear.

And... hope.

"Lu Yuan..."

Principal Wu Long spoke slowly, his voice deep and solemn.

"This child has the bearing of a Great Emperor!!"

...

Center of the battlefield.

The Little Skeleton slashed down with its sword, splitting a Monarch Tier BOSS in two.

[ Heartsteel stacks + 70381 ]

It slowly raised its head and looked around.

The surrounding monsters, once watched by that seething ghost fire, looked as if they had seen their natural predator.

They retreated violently.

In their eyes, fear appeared.

That was the fear that only appears when prey faces its natural predator.

"Roar..."

A Troll let out a low roar and slowly retreated.

"Awoo..."

The Werewolves tucked their tails and turned to flee.

"Hiss..."

The Shadow Leopards let out uneasy hisses, not daring to step forward.

Lu Yuan stood on the Little Skeleton's shoulder, looking around.

Bones piled up like mountains.

Blood gathered into rivers.

Under the Little Skeleton's feet, a death zone with a radius of several kilometers had formed.

There was not a single complete corpse.

Only broken bones, minced flesh, and scorched remains.

Lu Yuan stood on top of the Little Skeleton's head, hands in his pockets, his gaze sweeping calmly across that mountain of corpses and sea of blood.

His clothes were blown by the wind, flapping loudly.

"Want to escape?"

He smiled, a hint of coldness in his smile.

"Too late."

"Little Skeleton, keep killing."

"Today, I will make this wilderness the graveyard for these monsters."

The Little Skeleton nodded respectfully.

"As you command, Master."

It raised its greatsword and took another step forward.

Boom!!!

The earth trembled, and the monsters retreated in alarm.

However,

at this very moment.

A terrifying aura that made one's heart palpitate suddenly rose from three directions of the battlefield simultaneously.

That aura was stronger than the Monarch Tier.

"Hm?"

Lu Yuan frowned slightly and looked up.

He saw that from four directions of the battlefield, four massive figures that covered the sky and blocked the sun were slowly rising from the ocean of monsters.

Four terrifying auras,

simultaneously locked onto Lu Yuan, who was surrounded by countless monsters in the very center of the battlefield.

"Roar~!"
