116: Kill, on the eve of return

“No! How is this possible!!!”

Augustus screamed as Li An stood up as if nothing had happened.

That last blow was his strongest attack, even infused with the power of destruction.

Why wasn’t Li An dead?

From the looks of it, Li An didn’t even have a scratch.

At this moment, Augustus was completely shocked by Li An’s performance.

However, what Augustus didn’t see was that just as he struck Li An, the Hunter he had casually thrown on the ground outside suddenly shattered instantly, turning into a bloody mist that dissipated into the air.

And the Hunter should not have died.

Although he suffered severe injuries, due to the characteristics of the blacklight virus, his body was constantly being destroyed and repaired.

He only needed to wait quietly, and when the energy of the bloody lightning raging in his body was completely worn away, he would recover.

But because of Li An, the Hunter directly bore the fatal damage for him.

The power of this blow even exceeded the Hunter’s tolerance, so the Hunter exploded.

However, it was precisely because the Hunter bore the fatal damage for Li An that when Augustus saw Li An, he only saw a faint black mark on Li An’s chest, but the fact was he wasn’t dead.

This was naturally due to the effect of Li An’s innate ability.

【Talent · Blood Demon Spirit lv.1】

Talent Effect 2 · Life Binding: When you suffer fatal damage, the damage will first be transferred to the Hunter, who will bear the fatal blow.

After this effect is activated, the Hunter will revive after one natural day.

Cooldown: ten natural days.

Compared to Augustus’s shock, Li An’s expression was calm, but his heart was churning.

He hadn’t expected Augustus to hide such a killing move.

That last blow was too sudden.

Even he hadn’t reacted in time, as there was no warning whatsoever.

Fortunately, he had the Hunter as a substitute to take the hit, otherwise, if he had to bear that blow himself, it would have been almost over for him.

But Li An naturally couldn’t say anything more to Augustus about this.

At the same time, Li An also realized that Augustus was truly at his wit's end and had no more tricks up his sleeve.

The next second, under Augustus’s terrified gaze, Li An instantly vanished from his original spot.

This caused Augustus to retreat repeatedly, but because he had just unleashed his strongest attack, Augustus was currently in a state of exhaustion.

He only retreated a few steps before he had to stop in place, even finding it difficult to breathe.

This made Augustus suddenly realize something was wrong.

Just as he was about to continue pushing himself, he suddenly stopped moving in place.

At the same time!

A hand suddenly reached out from behind Augustus and rested on his cheek.

Then Augustus felt a chill at his neck.

Just as he was about to react, Li An’s voice came from behind him.

“Go to Death.”

In an instant, before Augustus could react, Li An, who had somehow gotten on Augustus’s back, directly plunged his left hand into Augustus’s back, then instantly grabbed Augustus’s spine and pulled it back.

“Ah!!!”

Augustus immediately let out a shrill scream.

Under Li An’s violent tugging, Augustus’s spine was almost pulled directly out of his body.

A large amount of blood splattered instantly.

At this moment, Augustus was completely like a puppet, unable to move at all.

Once his spine was in Li An’s grasp, it could be said that Augustus’s life was already in Li An’s hands.

Looking at Augustus’s tragic appearance, Li An’s face showed no pity, but rather some surprise.

He wondered why Augustus was still not dead even in this state.

“Since that’s the case, I’ll give you a hand.”

Pfft!

The next second, Li An’s five fingers formed a palm, and he directly plunged it into Augustus’s heart from his back.

Immediately after, he grabbed Augustus’s heart and squeezed it with force!

Bang!

In an instant, Augustus’s heart was crushed by Li An, and all of this happened in mere breaths.

At the same time, with the rupture of his heart, the screaming Augustus’s body suddenly trembled, and then his eyes rapidly lost their luster until they completely dimmed.

【Ding! You have completed the Scavenger certification mission.】

【Ding! You have killed the Dark Corruptor · Fallen Emissary · Augustus.】

【Ding! You have met the return conditions.

Do you wish to return to the paradise?】

At this moment, with Augustus’s Death, several prompts popped up in Li An’s ear.

However, Li An ignored these prompts.

After crushing Augustus’s heart, his Devourer effect was immediately activated.

In an instant, a powerful suction force erupted from Li An’s hands.

He directly placed his hands on Augustus’s corpse.

Buzz~

The next second, an invisible suction force immediately acted on Augustus’s corpse.

In just the blink of an eye, Augustus’s corpse was completely devoured by Li An.

【Ding! You have devoured biological flesh and blood, gaining a small attribute boost.】

At this time, another prompt sounded, and as Li An completely devoured Augustus’s corpse, his attributes directly received a wave of improvement.

With a thought, Li An’s personal panel was immediately summoned.

Undoubtedly, Li An’s strength had now increased by a large margin, and because he constantly used various abilities, the levels of his various abilities had also increased somewhat.

Especially the Melee All-rounder ability, due to his continuous killing, this ability had even increased by five levels.

Withdrawing his thoughts, Li An looked around.

Because Augustus had been devoured by him, only he was left here now.

But now was clearly not the time to return.

There were still things waiting for him to pick up outside.

Rustle rustle~

Taking a step, Li An immediately walked out of the building.

When he returned to the battlefield outside, he only saw the summoned undead still standing in place.

As for Li An’s two pets, the Yan Beast and the Blood Hunter, they had long since fallen in a pool of blood.

From their limp bodies on the ground, it was not difficult to see that they had been dead for a long time!

Undoubtedly, in the face of the remaining biological troops and Aberrant Zombies, the two beasts ultimately failed to hold on to the end and became a corpse on the path of evolution.

But even though he saw the bodies of the two beasts, Li An’s face showed no sadness.

This was their value of existence, and it was clear that they had also completed their mission.

As for what came next, it was his time to reap the harvest!
