Chapter 661: Chapter 333: Black Mud

The falling chunks of concrete made a loud noise, stirring up a veil of dust and ash outside the seventh-layer containment unit.

Soon, a strong heartbeat came from the dust. A huge crawling animal, whose lower half had been cut off and upper half pierced by dozens of steel bars, cried out furiously.

Multiple fatal wounds were not enough to calm its raging anger, even with its injuries so severe.

Its body grew larger and larger, and its scales thicker and thicker. Horrifying cracks appeared on its skull, and eyes emerged from them quickly.

It was evolving, evolving the organs and armor strong enough to kill enemies before it.

With the hatred of humans, it roared and howled.

It was the anomaly - The Great Lizard! An undead lizard with infinite malice towards humans, who practically negated all attempts to execute it. For it, now was the chance for revenge!

On the other side, a tall human-form creature emerged from the ruins, pushing aside stones weighing several tons. Its olive-colored skin had several grotesque wounds.

But its will to fight remained unyielding. The lizard in front of it was worth killing.

It pulled a pair of black scimitars out of an eerie space with both hands.

It assumed a battle stance.

It was Abel.

As if hearing the calls of his teammates.

Abel frowned; he hated it when people interfered with his battle. He wondered which one of them blew up the floor just now. Or, he thought, wasn’t it the floor itself that opened up?

The containment team bunch of paratroopers couldn’t even maintain the flooring properly.

"But, this has allowed me to find a formidable opponent," Abel said, looking into the distance. He had sensed an anomaly the moment he had fallen down here.

A wave of indescribable excitement surged through him. He had found a suitable opponent once more!

A huge rock was cut in half, and the azure flames illuminated the ruins.

A figure who seemed to come from an entirely different world emerged from beneath the ruins.

He was wearing a magnificent and fierce mountain-patterned armor adorned with a brilliant red cape and a mysterious azure flame mask. He wielded a horizontal blade that burst forth with a lethal cold glow.

As he appeared, the scattered dust and ashes seemed to be affected by an unknown force and gradually settled.

An inexplicable sense of danger surprised and delighted Abel.

It was an air that could only be forged through relentless in-fighting and fighting to the death.

An aura that belonged to the strong.

"It seems like there are such beings among humans too," Abel said with a smile, his tattoos resembling some demonic face.

"Captain! We received orders not to engage in any conflict with these unidentified humanoid anomalies." A teammate replied.

Abel ignored them; he had no intention of obeying such an order.

It was clear that the Parliament knew something and didn’t want the containment forces to clash with these beings.

But when faced with such a formidable opponent, how could Abel let him go?

Abel raised his dual blades, his fighting spirit boiling over.

The great lizard also noticed the mysterious figure. He was definitely not someone the humans of this world could reach. But... to the lizard, humans, or humanoids, were all targets for its malicious venting.

It growled, propping up its remaining body, the flesh and blood inside it surging, and the fire of revenge igniting. This was a revenge spanning countless spaces and time, and it would not cease until one side was obliterated.

As for Li Changhe...

To be honest, he really wanted to kill those bastards from the City of Dreams right now.

It would only take a few more minutes for him to be able to leave the Instance, but he was still affected by the curse of encountering dragons and tigers.

Due to the potential chain reaction of containment breakthroughs, each layer of containment was made of several meters thick of concrete.

The coincidence that it had collapsed right above him was too perfect.

Actually, even now, he could try to escape. But since Old Lead was still being processed, if he ran away, he would probably never find Old Lead again in this lifetime.

But that being the case, there was no need for him to hide anymore. Did they want to fight?

That was fine, his Mountain Pattern Armor was finally synthesized.

[Heavenly Tactics Mountain Script Armor]

[Quality: Epic]

[Type: Armor]

[Effect 1: ’Extremely Firm’ high physical defense force]

[Effect 2: ’Battle Mastery’ improved wearer’s close combat skills][Up to maximum A]

[Effect 3: ’Undead in Battle’ even with a shattered body, the wearer can still control the body using the armor]

[Remarks: General Li Ba... welcome back]

This was the result of the synthesis of materials and mountain pattern armor given by Li Er.

It was also, Li Changhe’s first piece of epic defensive gear. His defense force was significantly enhanced.

As for Effect Three... was more like some kind of power armor. Even if Li Changhe’s cervical spine was broken, he could still wield his blade in battle.

If things did come down to the wire, even if Li Changhe was completely paralyzed, he could still produce formidable fighting power.

Of course, Li Changhe hoped it wouldn’t come to that.

But for now...

Li Changhe exhaled, with the electric arc shimmering on his body.

He activated Hundred-Headed Shooter, then switched the Title Skill to Indomitable Ride of Hundred Tigers!

Facing anomaly 076 and anomaly - The Great Lizard, he must go all out!

As the sound of Yun Ting’s voice faded away in his mind, Li Changhe knew that his Will of Desperation had been triggered.

It had severed the mental connection between him and Yun Ting.

"Well, I’ll use you to familiarize myself with Black Mud Divinity!" A light laugh came from the Azure Flame mask.

Some kind of disturbing distortion appeared, and warnings of mental twisting in the site went off.

And that thick, sticky, twisted, and frenzied black liquid appeared on the horizontal blade.

The blade became stained black, then was covered in a pattern of azure lines.

Li Changhe... entered the Black Mud Sufferer state!

Furthermore, together with the surging azure flames, several giant iron figures appeared behind him. The chainsaw axes in their hands made deadly spinning noises.

It was the first time Li Changhe had gone all out since his Immortal Cavalry had been upgraded.

Now was a good opportunity to test his own combat capabilities.

"Charge!"

At Li Changhe’s command,

The battle instantly started. Dozens of armored soldiers wielding chainsaw axes and Armor-breaking Crossbow Shots charged at the great lizard like a steel torrent, steam surging behind them.

The lizard uttered some sort of malicious curses, howling as it fought fiercely with the armored soldiers.

Metal armor was twisted by massive force, and thick scales were cut open by chainsaws.

The raging battle between humans and the giant beast reached its climax from the onset. The great lizard indeed had no concept of death, but it was not invincible.

As for Li Changhe... he faced Abel.

The two faced each other, without words and without exchange.

As soon as their blades were lifted, both sides sensed each other’s surging will to fight.

The exchange between warriors only required a swing of their blades.

The horizontal blade clashed with the curved blades, and the collision of power was fascinating.

No one knew.

Deep down in Layer Seven,

In the containment chamber of the demonic deal, a sigh echoed.

As if regretting something.
