72: Chapter 72 There's something wrong with those twin tails!

Cheng Niannian suddenly raised her head. Her entire face was hidden in darkness, making it impossible to see clearly.

However, those scarlet eyes were exceptionally terrifying.

"Die!"

"All monsters deserve to die."

"Ah—!"

Cheng Niannian kept emitting suppressed low growls.

It seemed she could lose control at any moment.

"???"

Lu Yuan's eyes widened.

What was going on?

What happened to the sweet girl he was promised?

Why did she look like she was about to go dark?

One moment cute, one moment timid, one moment turning dark...

This contrast was truly a bit terrifying.

Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes. The pendant hanging on his chest was flashing with red light.

That was one of the pieces of equipment his mom gave Lu Yuan before he left.

[Blessing of the Demon Spirit]

[Grade: Legendary]

[Effect: Can sense fatal danger in advance...]

————

The effect of this equipment was very simple; it could only sense danger.

And specifically fatal danger to himself.

"How is this possible?"

Lu Yuan felt somewhat incredulous.

You have to know, besides the protector set, he also had eight other pieces of Legendary equipment on him.

Under these circumstances, this girl in front of him, who had always been so timid, could actually pose a mortal threat to him.

How could this be?

Lu Yuan's entire body tensed up, and he gripped the 'Light of Eternity' in his hand.

Ready to activate the protective shield at any moment.

"There is something wrong with this twin-tailed girl!"

"And a big problem at that!"

...

On the other side, the Bald Strong Man captain saw this scene and cursed.

"Damn it!"

"I knew it, this money definitely wouldn't be so easy to earn."

The skinny monkey was shaking all over, seemingly terrified of the twin-tailed girl's current state.

"Captain, what do we do now!"

The Bald Strong Man's eyes were bloodshot as he roared:

"There's no other way. Whoever the hell let us take the money. We took the money, so we have to do the job. Now we can only fight for our lives!!"

"Even if we die, we must complete the escort mission."

"We must not let the monsters get close to the 'escort target'."

"And that genius from Star Academy as well."

"Everyone, take out your Glory Badges. Once we are surrounded by monsters, you know what to do."

In the caravan, the expressions of these Professionals, who had originally been a bit lackadaisical, changed.

One by one, they took out a resplendent, golden badge from their chests.

They gripped it tightly in their hands.

[Glory Badge]

[Grade: Gold]

[Effect · Sacrifice: Consume vitality to gain power that transcends one's own limits.]

——————

They were just a caravan, not official law enforcers or an army.

But at this moment, not a single person hesitated.

They took out the [Glory Badge] directly, prepared to risk their lives.

Tears shimmered in the Bald Strong Man's eyes.

"I'm sorry, brothers."

"This time, I might not be able to bring you all home."

"Quit your yapping and go kill the monsters!"

Just as the people in the caravan were brewing up their emotions.

An untimely voice came from overhead.

The Slime was somewhat disdainful,

"It's just a few monsters, do you need to be so tragic?"

"Watch how King Slime massacres these monsters."

After saying this, the Slime flew unhurriedly toward the center of the monster horde.

After waiting a few seconds, a 'Self-destruct' bomb appeared out of thin air above its head.

The Slime's mouth curled up fiercely.

"It's time to let you all witness King Slime's new ability."

With a roar, the Slime flapped its dragon wings and, in an almost crazy posture, smashed directly toward the area where the monsters were densest.

Rumble~~

The moment its body touched the ground, the earth began to shake violently.

[High-tier Skill · Cataclysm!]

Under the incredulous gazes of everyone, thick earthen walls slowly rose from the ground.

Enclosing all the monsters in the core area.

????

In the caravan, those Professionals who were prepared to risk their lives were stunned.

"Wait, what is this skill? It's so broken?"

"A High-tier Skill, Cataclysm!"

"What, a Slime can actually learn a High-tier Skill?"

"Are you crazy?"

They had seen footage of the Slime fighting before.

They knew this Slime was a mutant.

It was good at releasing a type of explosive area-of-effect skill.

If it used 'Cataclysm' to restrict these monsters to a fixed area.

And then used that explosion skill!!

This scene...

Everyone's eyes lit up.

Perhaps they wouldn't have to risk their lives after all.

...

Inside the earthen walls, hundreds of Dark Knights were trapped within the range of the Cataclysm skill.

Pairs of scarlet eyes looked exceptionally terrifying in the darkness.

The Slime was not only unafraid but conversely, its eyes glowed with excitement.

It grinned, revealing a mouth full of sharp teeth.

"Feel the art of the explosion."

[Split!]

Before the words faded, Bang—!

The Slime's body suddenly exploded, tearing apart and turning into pieces of Slime that flew in different directions.

Then it continued to Split!

Soon, dense patches of Slime filled the entire pit.

?

These Dark Knights were all converted from demonized Professionals, and their intelligence was much higher than ordinary monsters.

But at this moment, they were also unable to comprehend it.

"What is this thing?"

Hovering above every piece of Slime was a giant bomb!

Tick! Tick! Tick!

Tick...

Inside the bombs, the sound of a second hand ticking continued to ring out.

"Oh no, these are bombs!"

"Dodge quickly!"

Dodge?

Looking at the thick earthen walls dozens of meters high, comparable to city walls, surrounding them.

All the Dark Knights felt despair.

They smelled the scent of death.

A few seconds later, Boom! Boom!!!

Countless explosion sounds overlapped together.

- 10043!

- 3431!

- 8032!!

...

Dive Bombing!

Can deal True Damage equal to 10% of the Slime's maximum HP.

Self-destruct!

Deals True Damage equal to 10% of the target's maximum HP within the range.

Comes with a knock-up effect.

Jester Academy!

Deals True Damage equal to 20% of the target's maximum HP.

Comes with a 1-second fear effect.

Every piece of Slime's Self-destruct could simultaneously trigger the effects of three Hextech Runes.

Moreover, the explosion was area-of-effect damage.

In the narrow environment created by Cataclysm.

The explosion damage stacked on top of each other.

In an instant, hundreds of Dark Knights were completely destroyed.

Even the terrain effect created by the 'High-tier Skill · Cataclysm' was destroyed.

Everyone could see the hellish scene inside.

Hundreds of Dark Knights, not one survived.

One could only see charred limbs and broken arms covering the ground, impossible to piece together into complete corpses.

Amidst the firelight, clumps of Slime Slime slowly squirmed, eventually gathering and fusing together.

Transforming into a dragon-shaped Slime.

The Slime spread its wings and flew into the sky.

"I am the Slime Heavenly Emperor, I shall suppress and kill all monsters in the world!"

!!!!

"Holy crap?"

"This, this, this..."

The people in the caravan, their eyes were almost popping out of their sockets.

They had anticipated that the Slime's combo would produce a terrifying effect.

However, this was just too exaggerated.

A Level 20 Slime, in one combo, wiped out hundreds of 'Dark Knights' who were over Level 35?

Because the number of monsters this time was very large.

The Slime's combo only killed a small portion.

There were still many that had already rushed to the outskirts of the caravan's stronghold.

The Bald Strong Man and the many Professionals in the caravan began to engage in close-quarters combat with these monsters.

Just at this moment, a round, black-and-white figure rushed up.

"Roar—!"

"The Iron-Eating Beast shall never be a slave!"

The Iron-Eating Beast was on all fours, rapidly charging from a distance.

"Iron Mountain Lean!"
