Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

Chapter 345: Chapter 134 Meeting (Waiting 500 years for a good book plus more)_1

Kuangliu was driving, mulling over Wen Yu’s words. After a while, he finally spoke.

”Can the two of us take it down together?”

Wen Yu shook his head immediately.

”If it wants to run, no one can stop it!”

There was something Wen Yu didn’t have the heart to say. He had seen Kuangliu’s strength. Kuangliu also followed the path of martial arts. However, when facing a powerful expert like the Ancient Demon spawn, who took a more esoteric path, Kuangliu would be utterly crushed, not even dust remaining. Star had a huge physique and could withstand a Dimension Reduction Attack from the Ancient Demon spawn. If such an attack targeted Kuangliu, he’d probably be flattened instantly!

Kuangliu hadn’t seen Wen Yu’s battle with the Ancient Demon spawn. Having just advanced to Level 5, coupled with the Level 5 skill provided by the military, he was extremely confident and promptly stated, ”Retreating is difficult; the military won’t agree to it. Let’s do this: we’ll re-evaluate our tactics when we get back to the outpost.”

Wen Yu nodded slightly, sighing internally. I’ve said all I can. If Kuangliu still won’t listen, then there’s nothing more I can do!

Moreover, based on Wen Yu’s observation and deduction, aside from himself, no one at the outpost could stop the Ancient Demon spawn. Furthermore, their enemy was hidden while they were exposed. The threat of this Ancient Demon spawn was even greater than that of the Bipedal Lizard army!

「...」

The military vehicle, carrying the five Sequence Number operatives and the Demon Qi Shield Generator, slowly returned to the outpost. Of the six top-ten Sequence Number powerful experts who had left, only five returned...

Meanwhile, on the drive back, Wen Yu had used a large number of healing potions and Energy Recovery Potions to restore himself to peak fighting condition.

Seeing Kuangliu and the others hurriedly heading towards Central Castle, Wen Yu shook his head and decisively went in the opposite direction.

Kuangliu and the others were about to hold a meeting. However, Wen Yu had already fully explained the situation with the Ancient Demon spawn to Kuangliu, so he naturally wouldn’t participate in this pointless assembly.

Furthermore, Wen Yu estimated that the outcome was already set—the military would definitely not withdraw from the outpost.

Regarding this, all Wen Yu could do was sigh and shake his head.

They simply didn’t understand that the Ancient Demon spawn’s skill system not only made it unbeatable in direct confrontations but also greatly enhanced its assassination abilities!

Once the Ancient Demon spawn unleashed its full power, the entire outpost’s defense system would be torn apart like paper!

After returning to his quarters, Wen Yu set the Cyclops on sentry duty. He then lay down on his bed and first checked on Star in the Soul Realm space.

After the several-hour drive, Star’s injuries had almost completely healed, and it was currently sound asleep in the 3rd Soul Realm.

He briefly reviewed his recent fight with the Ancient Demon spawn.

The Pitch-dark World skill has considerable potential. Its various transformations and powerful adaptability give it virtually limitless power. Unfortunately, the rate at which it drains stamina is a major issue. During the recent battle with the Ancient Demon spawn, if the spawn hadn’t severely underestimated me at the start and tried to kill me within the Pitch-dark World, the outcome might have been me desperately defending myself.

I can add more offensive techniques to the Pitch-dark World, and perhaps some sealing-type Pitch-dark type skills as well. The Pitch-dark Demon Lord can also be strengthened further. Alternatively, I could use Pitch-dark type skills to find another way to recover my vitality. After this business at the outpost is concluded, I’ll need to communicate with the military. I should find more professionists who use Pitch-dark type abilities and observe their skills. Plus, I absolutely must find a divine beast for the 5th Soul Realm, preferably one with a special Attribute!

As Wen Yu organized his thoughts, he suddenly realized there were still many ways he could increase his strength.

He quickly glanced at his Pitch-dark Divine Light skill and nodded with satisfaction.

The effectiveness of this ability far exceeded his expectations!

Although the Pitch-dark Divine Light skill was currently SSS-Class, as soon as he reached Level 7 and awakened his Divine Light, it would advance to Esoteric Level.

Pure darkness itself, as a skill, likely fell somewhere between Esoteric Level and SSS-Class.

The effects it could achieve had already far surpassed those of an SSS-Class skill by leaps and bounds!

「...」

While Wen Yu was contemplating his battle from that day and his own skill combinations, another meeting was being held in the central castle of the outpost.

The reason Wen Yu always avoided these meetings was because they were too long-winded.

Nearly an hour had passed, and the meeting was still focused on how many benefits the Cathay military needed to offer the foreign military forces.

Fang Wenhai was banging on the desk, vehemently berating the chief commanding officers of the foreign military forces, spittle flying.

Beside him, Kuangliu yawned out of boredom while murmuring something quietly to Yang Pengguang.

After a while, the foreign military forces finally reached a compromise. Only then did Kuangliu straighten his collar and solemnly speak to everyone present.

”We encountered some issues during our recent mission. An Ancient Demon emerged from the Demon City. It possesses strength at Peak Level 5, and its skill combination is incredibly frightening. Sequence Number 9 died at its hands!”

Although they had already heard about Sequence Number 9’s death, upon hearing Kuangliu’s words, the representative of the Japan military still wore an expression as if he had lost his own father.

At this table, every country’s military had a super-powerful expert. Setting aside differences in strength, they were, at the very least, all top-ten Sequence Number experts. Only Japan and a few European countries lacked powerful experts of this level at the outpost, which undoubtedly made these nations feel inferior.

Kuangliu looked at the Japan military representative and said seriously, ”Regarding the conditions we just promised you, I’ll personally add another thirty percent! Consider it compensation for Sequence Number 9!”

After speaking, Kuangliu ignored the Japan military representative’s deep bow and continued solemnly.

”We have already detailed the course of the recent battle to you. The Ancient Demon, the one with a black crystal on its head, killed Suzuki Masao with a single move! I haven’t personally witnessed its specific combat power. However, based on Sequence Number 2’s description after confronting it, this creature’s power is terrifying. Sequence Number 2 suggested we evacuate the outpost. Now, I want to hear your opinions!”

”Absolutely not!”

As soon as Kuangliu finished speaking, Fang Wenhai immediately responded.

”Kuangliu, you should know how many warriors the military has lost at this outpost. Now, when the overall situation is nearly settled, you want us to retreat because of one Demon Fiend? That’s unacceptable! I’m afraid no one will agree to that!”

The representatives from the other countries quickly voiced their agreement.

”Alright, then it’s decided. I will find a way to deal with this Ancient Demon.”
