Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

Chapter 517: Chapter 98 Surround and Kill _1

”Just average, I guess...” Wen Yu muttered, not bothering to lower his voice from Cyclops and Star. Cyclops, for his part, certainly had a knack for flattery.

”Exactly! In front of you, Boss, these little Demon Bastards can’t stir up any trouble.” Cyclops stuck out his tongue, hissing and cackling, only to be rewarded with a thump on the head from Wen Yu.

Hmm... My hand is a little sore... It seems that under the influence of the Great Feast, Cyclops’s skin really has grown thicker.

The master and pet bickering playfully on Star’s head didn’t spoil Star’s high spirits. Star, at this moment, was lost in the thrill of slaughtering Demon Fiends... until a faint light shone from a distance.

The light was very weak, as if it were just a harmless skill released by some Low-grade Demonic Creature. Star didn’t take it seriously—because the glows of countless skills lit up the area below, it was impossible for Star to distinguish which skill came from which Demon Fiend. Besides, none of them could penetrate its Demon Dragon Armor.

Then... an intense sense of mortal danger instantly flooded Star’s mind. Every cell in its body frantically screamed warnings at it. Under this severe threat, Star reacted instinctively—it shifted its body slightly to the side. It barely had time to do even that...

The next moment, blood splattered everywhere!

Wen Yu, still holding Cyclops, continued to chat idly on Star’s head. He couldn’t be bothered to deal with the Low-grade Demon Monsters below. The existence of the Level Lock had somewhat reduced the usefulness of points. Moreover, their priority now was escape; Wen Yu had neither the time nor the desire to harvest points and magic crystals from these Low-grade Demonic Creatures.

But deep down, Wen Yu remained vigilant. They were still within the Demon Fiends’ encirclement. No matter how strong he and his soul pets were, there was no guarantee they wouldn’t encounter danger. Although Wen Yu appeared to be chatting idly with Cyclops, in reality, almost all his attention was focused on monitoring their surroundings for danger.

Until a warm liquid splashed onto Wen Yu’s face...

”ROAR!!!”

A furious roar erupted from Star beneath him, and then, like a crashing airplane, it plummeted towards the ground.

Only then did Wen Yu realize something was terribly wrong. He hurriedly turned his head, his gaze falling upon a massive wound on Star’s wing!

As if sliced by a razor-sharp blade, half of Star’s right wing had vanished. Hot blood spurted everywhere, forming a dense, lingering mist in mid-air...

Wen Yu’s heart clenched violently.

Because I didn’t detect this attack at all...

This meant a highly lethal, highly concealed assassin with long-range attack capabilities was on the battlefield!

”Prepare for battle!!!”

Wen Yu instantly tossed Cyclops towards the ground, swiftly opened the 2nd Soul Realm, and recalled the injured Star into the Soul Realm space.

Wen Yu, hundreds of meters up in the air, allowed gravity to pull him towards the ground. His hands moved ceaselessly: he simultaneously opened the 4th Soul Realm to release Faceless, applied Tang Haofei’s blood to it, and summoned Victor from the 5th Soul Realm.

Truthfully, Wen Yu really didn’t want to face Victor right now. He couldn’t completely absolve himself of responsibility for the destruction of Las Vegas; so many people had died, after all. He always felt somewhat indebted to Victor... But circumstances compelled him...

Not only had Star failed to react to the previous attack, but neither Wen Yu nor Cyclops had either. As the saying goes, it’s hard to guard against a hidden arrow. In this situation, Victor, with his outstanding surveillance and concealment abilities, would be Wen Yu’s best asset for finding the unknown Demon Fiend!

Wen Yu was mid-air, purple lights flashing continuously beside him. The next moment, Star’s enormous, blood-splattering body vanished, replaced by a dough-like object and a black cat.

Before they even landed, Victor had already sent a Spiritual Fluctuation to Wen Yu: ”Wen Yu, what’s the situation? Is the Purple Light Spawn and Grow Barrier broken?”

Wen Yu remained silent. He issued a ”clear the field” command to Faceless, which had already transformed into Tang Haofei’s likeness, while gesturing towards Las Vegas.

Actually, Wen Yu didn’t need to point. The moment Victor landed, he had already turned his head towards the Red Stone Hotel. The area there had become a huge basin...

”MEOW~~~ MEOW MEOW MEOW...” Victor wailed, incomprehensible cat sounds spilling from him as he wiped his small face with his paw.

The sorrowful meows tugged at Wen Yu’s heart, but he couldn’t utter a word.

Until a glint of cold light shot out from the distance...

”CRACK!”

The sound of bones cracking echoed from afar.

A sharp torrent of energy instantly tore through all the Demon Fiends between the Spider Demon Hunter and Wen Yu. Blood and organs of various colors sprayed continuously. Viewed from the sky, a distinct bloodred line seemed to have appeared on the ground out of nowhere.

The silent and incredibly fast attack gave Wen Yu no chance to react; he could only watch as the sword-like Energy Wave mercilessly sliced through his body...

Then, like a phantom, Wen Yu’s form shimmered and instantly melded back together the moment the Energy Wave passed through him.

”Its Attribute is pure Physical Attack. It’s ineffective against me personally. You all be careful!”

The Spiritual Fluctuation quickly transmitted to the minds of the deployed soul pets. The next moment, Wen Yu immediately sent a Spiritual Fluctuation towards Victor, who was still staring blankly at the Red Stone Hotel in the distance.
