Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

Chapter 138: Chapter 95: The Road to Survival (Part 4) _1

”For the Demon Tribe!”

The Bone Demon’s body abruptly swelled. Then, the bone armor across its body flared outward, making it look as if it were bristling with steel sabers.

Bone Explosion Technique (A-Class, Active Skill): A natural ability of the Bone Demon Clan, mastered by only a select few elites. They abandon everything in pursuit of ultimate killing power! This suicide move causes the host’s entire bone armor to explode, inflicting fatal damage on all surrounding enemies! After the bone armor explodes, the host dies instantly!

BOOM!

A cruel yet beautiful firework bloomed where the Bone Demon had stood. Sharp fragments of bone armor flew everywhere! And William was caught right in the blast radius of the Bone Explosion Technique!

CLINK, CLANK.

First came a series of crisp impacts—the sound of William’s heavy armor deflecting the Bone Blades. This was followed by the sound of tearing flesh.

When the dust settled on the battlefield where William and the Bone Demon had fought, the Bone Demon’s bone armor was gone. In its place lay a small, pitch-black figure. The figure lay motionless on the ground, clearly devoid of life.

The Bone Demon was dead!

Not far away, William’s figure came into view. No, it could hardly be called William anymore—it was merely his skeleton! William’s steel armor and the flesh on the front of his body had been stripped clean! His internal organs were shredded!

A red light enveloped William’s body.

Death Scapegoat Doll (S-class Tool): When a fatal blow is sustained, this tool activates and completely heals all the host’s injuries.

With the consumption of a precious S-class Tool, William’s injuries healed at a visible, rapid pace. In no time, he was fully recovered.

HUFF, HUFF!

William scrambled out of his shattered armor and knelt on the ground, gasping heavily.

”I died once!”

Lingering fear finally surfaced in his voice.

BANG.

Another gunshot rang out. Burly Bear continued to provide relentless fire support, this time aiming at Jiang Wentao’s opponent. The Spider Demon, already mangled by Jiang Wentao, was finished off by Burly Bear’s shot!

Seeing his opponent dead, Jiang Wentao didn’t pause to catch his breath before rushing towards Chu Ziling’s position.

Seeing this, William bit his tongue hard to focus, steadied himself, and pushed his body up to go support Wen Yu.

The battle situation suddenly clarified.

Except, that is, for the area where Cyclops and the Ancient Demon fought.

BOOM!

A violent explosion erupted from Cyclops’ body! He was blasted ten meters away, his massive frame kicking up a large cloud of dust.

Cyclops was in an extremely dire state. His head was gone, and not a single piece of flesh remained intact on his body.

Normally, faced with such fatal injuries, the Ancient Demon should have stopped its attack. However, the Ancient Demon continued to savage Cyclops, because it already knew about Cyclops’s ability!

Touch Perception (S-class, Passive ability): Making physical contact with an opponent directly reveals their class and skill information.

”KEKEKEKE! Are you still thinking you can increase your power by taking more damage and then defeat me?”

”KEKEKEKE! You truly underestimate our Ancient Demon Tribe!”

”Well then, trash, let me see... Ah, yes, this ability!”

The Ancient Demon shoved a finger into its mouth and clamped its jaws shut forcefully. Its sharp teeth crunched through the scales on its hand. Black blood gushed out, then coalesced into a Black Light on the Ancient Demon’s hand.

The Black Light, carrying a mysterious aura, shot towards Cyclops as the Ancient Demon pointed at him. The Black Light pierced into Cyclops’s body at extreme speed.

Demon Blood Seal (S-class, Active Ability): Uses the Ancient Demon’s blood as a catalyst to seal one of an opponent’s abilities. Only one Demon Blood Seal can be active at a time.

This was clearly a sealing ability! And the ability the Ancient Demon chose to seal was Cyclops’s Mortal Combat!

”Now, what can you do? KEKEKEKE...”

With another strange laugh, the Ancient Demon punched Cyclops in the waist again.

Without the enhancement from Mortal Combat, Cyclops couldn’t withstand such a powerful blow. His waist exploded on the spot!

If not for a few shreds of flesh still holding him together, and if not for the enhanced defense capabilities of his internal organs provided by the Blood and Flesh Badge, Cyclops would have died instantly!

Boss, save me...

A faint Spiritual Fluctuation entered Wen Yu’s mind. His expression changed instantly, and he immediately activated his 2nd Soul Realm.

BOOM!

The Ancient Demon punched the spot where Cyclops had been, but it was empty.

”KEKEKEKE! So this is the power of the Soul Realm, is it!”

Its Touch Perception ability had allowed the Ancient Demon to discern everything!

It kicked the Spider Demon far away. Then, a tremendous Sword Light sliced through the Spider Demon’s body. Thanks to Wen Yu and William’s coordinated attack, the Spider Demon died on the spot.

Behind them, the bull demon was also tottering under the combined assault of Jiang Wentao and Chu Ziling.

Within the Soul Realm space, Cyclops’s grievous injuries were rapidly healing. Simultaneously, he conveyed the details of the recent battle to Wen Yu via Spiritual Fluctuation.

”Get back here, you fool!!”

Amidst the swirling dust that filled the air, the Ancient Demon’s furious voice echoed.

The bull demon immediately shook off Chu Ziling and rapidly closed the distance to the Ancient Demon’s position.
