Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

”Can we kill them?”

After all, our party is merely guests, and considering the content of the dialogue between Lin Haifeng and the ”Mysterious Man” just now... On the matter of killing, the Sea King thought it best to consult Lin Haifeng.

Hearing the Sea King’s inquiry, Lin Haifeng nodded emotionlessly.

Those professionists who launched the attack below were basically marching to their deaths! In Lin Haifeng’s eyes, sacrificing some lives for the Sea King’s control plan was an absolutely necessary cost.

Then, the Sea King nodded to the divine beast beside him. ”Begin.”

HUMMM...

A sound resembling a bee’s hum emitted from the Sea King Tribe’s divine beast. The next second, a transparent ripple formed out of thin air. The light-blue ripple, seemingly brewing some mystical power, gently undulated around the divine beast’s body twice and then... instantly spread out in all directions!

CRACKLE... CRACKLE...

A series of crisp sounds instantly echoed around the rostrum. Through the billowing smoke and dust, Lin Haifeng clearly saw that all living beings within a 500-unit radius of the rostrum seemed to have been instantly frozen, standing motionless in place.

”Shatter!” A strange tone and language emanated from the mouth of the Sea King Tribe’s divine beast. The next moment, all the frozen creatures collapsed as if they were made of building blocks.

A Peak Level 5 divine beast, with a typical skill set (not perfect, but reasonably effective), should possess strength between Sequence Number 6 and Sequence Number 10. Such a level of power was an absolute cataclysm for ordinary professionists! Thus, facing a Peak Level 5 divine beast, these professionists who charged forward first were utterly defenseless.

However, how could Lin Haifeng, the architect of this plan, not have foreseen this issue? The arrangements were long in place; the drama had played out to this point, finally entering its ultimate stage. And typically, the final stage inevitably involved open, head-on confrontations!

The next second, more people converged from all directions.

The divine beast frowned slightly. These pieces of trash, like flies, mindlessly rushing forward—I’ve had enough of them! It’s like a person trying to sleep at night with a mosquito constantly buzzing in their ear. The divine beast decisively raised its large paw and swatted at the irritating ”mosquitoes.”

Another ripple flickered. In the areas where the smoke and dust had yet to settle, countless sounds of shattering ice echoed successively. Killing these professionists was perhaps even easier for the divine beast than it was for an ordinary person to kill a mosquito.

Then... another group of people rushed forward!

Chaotic sounds from the outside echoed from all directions: the roars of military police, the clashes of powerful experts, and the cries for help from innocent civilians. The divine beast thought, None of this can disturb my judgment. Whatever is happening out there is the Human Race’s concern. Right now, my mission, along with my nine other kin, is to protect His Majesty the Sea King and Lin Haifeng. Any creature daring to approach our guarded perimeter will be met with a thunderous strike!

With no particular thought in its mind, the divine beast’s actions continued unabated.

HUMMM...

Another freezing ripple...

Listening to the CRACKLING AND POPPING explosions from all directions, the divine beast narrowed its eyes slightly. This time, it’s a bit different... In its perception, the crisis had not been immediately resolved!

A black shadow silently emerged from the distant darkness. The figure wore a black hood, identical in attire to Qin Tian, and held a pitch-black short blade that glinted with a chilling, heart-stopping light.

Then, the black shadow’s Adam’s apple bobbed slightly. Through a device attached to his throat, he transmitted his command to all combat personnel involved in this operation: ”Continue!”

Then, another group of differently attired professionists charged toward the rostrum! But this time was different. The black shadow seemed to melt into the boundless smoke, his short blade already raised, stealthily advancing towards the Sea King Tribe’s divine beast positioned at the very front!

HUMMM...

Another freezing ripple! Four successive freezing ripples, like four whispers from the god of death, effortlessly claimed hundreds of lives.

However, the very instant it unleashed the freezing ripple, a sense of danger abruptly surfaced—unprecedentedly intense!

SCHLICK!

”Watch out!!!”

First came the sound of a blade piercing flesh, followed by the warning from its kin behind it!

The divine beast, which had been reveling in the slaughter, stared dumbfounded at the figure that had abruptly appeared at its side. It then looked down at the black short blade embedded in its thigh... Its lips quivered slightly, but as if drained of all strength, it couldn’t utter a single word.

The next second, the short blade pulsed with Black Light, then exploded into countless fragments with a BANG! A bizarre energy, unleashed by the short blade’s detonation, surged directly into the divine beast’s body!

Then... black flames erupted from the divine beast’s body, instantly incinerating it to ash!

”You dare kill him?!”

”Die!”

”Mere humans, daring to attack our Sea King Tribe!”

The instantaneous death of their kinsman undoubtedly infuriated the remaining Sea King Tribe guards. Several abilities, charged with Massive Energy Fluctuations, slammed into the ground almost simultaneously where the divine beast had fallen.

Under the violent energy impact, the black figure was almost instantly blasted out from the nearby shadows. The fierce astral wind tore the black robe from its body...

”It’s you?” Lin Haifeng exclaimed the moment he saw the black figure’s true face.

Spitting blood, the black figure looked with a face full of resentment at Lin Haifeng, who was surrounded by the remaining Sea King Tribe members. His right hand lightly touched his space ring, and he pulled out another short blade.

Then, aiming in Lin Haifeng’s direction, as if determined to fight to the bitter end, he charged straight forward!

”Don’t kill him! We need him alive; he’s the leader of this assassination attempt!” Lin Haifeng urgently shouted to the Sea King nearby.

The Sea King glanced emotionlessly into the distance. Under the assault of the nine remaining Sea King Tribe members, the black-robed man was already on his last legs. Then, the Sea King looked at the spot where the divine beast had been reduced to ash.

After a long moment, the Sea King finally spoke softly, ”He must pay the price!” His voice was calm, yet anyone could discern the volcanic rage simmering beneath that composure.

The loss of a divine beast... This is a visceral pain, one that cuts to the bone!

”I know he will die, absolutely. But before he does, we need intelligence! Hurry, he’s dying!”

”Keep him alive!!!” The Sea King’s furious roar echoed out. Though reluctant... I have to admit, Lin Haifeng has a point.
