Legendary Person: I brought my skills back to reality!
Chapter 44 Defeating the Strange
The tentacle monster staggered back a few steps, its massive body trembling with excruciating pain. Dark green slime gushed from its wounds, leaving foul-smelling trails on the ground. A flicker of terror flashed in its crimson eyes; it clearly hadn't expected this tiny human to possess such power.
The monster's tentacles waved nervously in the air, as if weighing the situation. Its massive head swayed from side to side, as if searching for an escape route. Suddenly, its eyes locked onto the direction of the factory gate, and its pupils contracted slightly.
The next second, the monster suddenly contracted its body, like an athlete about to start a race. Its tentacles pressed tightly against the ground, poised to strike. Then, with a low growl, the monster sprang forward, hurtling towards the gate.
Its speed was astonishing; its massive body left a blurry trail in the air. Its tentacles slapped the ground, propelling it forward and leaving a trail of slippery marks. The air was torn apart by its high-speed movement, emitting a sharp whistling sound.
The monster clearly realized it wouldn't win today, and it threw itself entirely into the escape, its eyes fixed on the door that represented freedom. It knew that as long as it rushed through that door, it could regain its freedom and escape this terrifying adversary.
"Trying to run?!" Xu Hao growled, like a wounded beast. He felt his magic power rapidly draining away, and the scenery before him began to blur, but he still stared intently at the monster, his eyes filled with madness and resentment.
"Too late!" Xu Hao roared, enduring the waves of dizziness in his mind. His hands trembled as he recklessly flung out soul fire talismans, which rained down on the enormous creature like dense raindrops.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The violent explosions echoed in the abandoned factory. The eerie blue flames almost dyed the entire space an eerie blue. Heat waves rolled and air currents surged, blowing debris all around in all directions.
The tentacle monster writhed in agony in the flames, letting out mournful howls. Its massive body was covered in charred marks, and dark green liquid mixed with the flames emitted a nauseating, burnt smell.
However, just when Xu Hao thought victory was assured, the monster suddenly stopped struggling. It abruptly raised its head, and a cunning glint flashed in its scarlet eyes.
"This is bad!" Alarm bells rang in Xu Hao's mind, and a strong sense of unease surged into his heart.
The next moment, the monster suddenly leaped up and broke through the blockade of flames, rushing towards the factory gate.
"Damn it!" Xu Hao cursed inwardly. He knew that in his current state, there was no way he could catch up with that monster.
Are we just going to let it escape like this?
No! no way!
A resolute glint flashed in Xu Hao's eyes. He took a deep breath, enduring the excruciating pain in his mind, and desperately mobilized the last bit of magic power within his body.
"Stop! Stop!" Xu Hao roared, and the talisman in his hand instantly burned away, turning into a dazzling flame that shot towards the monster.
However, the monster was too fast, and the flames only grazed its body, without causing any real damage.
As the monster was about to escape from the factory, Xu Hao's heart sank to the bottom. Was he really going to fail at the last minute?
Just then, a figure suddenly descended from the sky and stood in front of the monster.
"Trying to run? Did you ask me first?" A deep voice rang out, carrying a hint of mockery and a touch of coldness.
Xu Hao suddenly looked up and saw a familiar figure standing there, blocking the monster's path.
It's Shi Shaowei!
"Finally here!" Xu Hao breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that with Shi Shaowei around, this monster wouldn't be able to escape.
Looking at the enormous thing in front of him, Shi Shaowei's lips curled up slightly, revealing a disdainful smile.
"You beast, where are you going this time?"
Shi Shaowei stood before the monster, his eyes blazing. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a skeleton standing to the side, and his entire body tensed, instantly assuming a fighting stance.
"What's going on? Another weirdo has appeared?" Shi Shaowei said sharply, his eyes scanning back and forth between the skeleton and the tentacle monster.
Just then, Xu Hao came running over, panting. Seeing Shi Shaowei's reaction, he quickly explained, "Don't be nervous, that skeleton was summoned by me. It's my helper."
Upon hearing this, Shi Shaowei frowned and looked at Xu Hao in disbelief. He scrutinized Xu Hao as if he were seeing him for the first time.
"You...you're a summoning ability user?" Shi Shaowei's voice was filled with surprise. "How come I didn't know you had this ability?"
Kid, how many secrets do you have?
Xu Hao smiled slightly, about to explain, when he was interrupted by a roar from the tentacle monster. The two immediately snapped back to reality and refocused their attention on the enemy before them.
“Let’s deal with this big guy first,” Xu Hao said. “I’ll explain it to you in detail later.”
Shi Shaowei nodded and assumed a fighting stance. The skeleton also stood silently to the side, ready to obey Xu Hao's commands at any time. The three of them formed an encirclement, trapping the tentacle monster in the middle.
The three of them tacitly surrounded the tentacle monster, each on high alert. Shi Shaowei made the first move, waving his hands and two gleaming psionic blades appeared out of thin air, shooting towards the monster.
Sensing danger, the monster swiftly swung its tentacles in defense. However, the psionic blades were incredibly sharp, easily severing several tentacles, and green liquid gushed out. The monster let out a piercing howl, the pain driving it even more ferocious.
Just then, the skeleton warrior charged forward. Wielding its bone sword, it fearlessly met the frenzied tentacles. Although the skeleton's attack power was not strong, its tough skeletal structure made it a perfect meat shield, drawing most of the monster's attention.
Xu Hao stood at the rear, continuously casting fire talismans. The eerie blue flames burned on the monster's body, scorching its skin. At the same time, he periodically cast healing spells on the skeleton and Shi Shaowei, ensuring they remained in optimal condition.
The battle was fierce and protracted. The monster was incredibly resilient; even after enduring so many attacks, it continued to fight back frantically. Its tentacles lashed out like a storm, each strike carrying immense power.
However, the three of them became increasingly coordinated. Shi Shaowei's psionic blades continuously slashed at the monster's body, while the skeleton warrior firmly drew the fire, and Xu Hao's fire talismans and healing spells provided a constant stream of output and support for the entire battle.
Finally, after a powerful psionic blade struck the monster's head, it let out a deafening wail. Its massive body began to convulse violently, its tentacles pounding the ground helplessly.
"You...you...detestable humans..." the monster said with difficulty in a hoarse voice, "One day...we will descend...we will rule this world...you...will all die!"
Before the words were even finished, the monster's body suddenly began to disintegrate, turning into clumps of dark green liquid, which eventually vanished completely into the air.
The three waited cautiously for a moment, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the monster had truly been eliminated. Xu Hao slumped to the ground, exhausted, while Shi Shaowei leaned against the wall, panting heavily. Only the skeleton warrior remained standing upright, as if the fierce battle had had no effect on it whatsoever.
