The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human?
Chapter 336 - 317

Chapter 336: 317

Meteorite after meteorite was moved in front of the Moon Demon, and some were moved above Liu Zheng’s head.

Facing a meteorite larger than the Observatory, he had no way to avoid it.

So he chose to lie flat.

"Under the bridge, wrapped in a small blanket, just sleep regardless of what happens."

Liu Zheng muttered, draping the Dragon Robe Cloak over himself as he spoke.

"BOOM!"

As the first meteorite struck the ground, his figure vanished amidst the continuous sound of explosions.

Meanwhile, the golden liquid continued to fly forward, piercing through the meteorites trying to obstruct its path.

Amid the scattered specks of starlight from the shattered meteorites, the golden liquid arrived in front of the Moon Demon.

By then, the fishing net’s strands had been frayed to almost invisible thickness.

Just a little more time, just one thread breaking, and it would free itself.

Unfortunately, the one with the ability to control time was the Foolish Spider, not it.

Amid the Moon Demon’s desperate roars, the golden liquid pierced through the fishing net, shooting into its brain.

Glorious flames, golden as Gold, ignited from its head, quickly spreading to engulf its entire body.

Soon, even the fishing net caught fire.

The Moon Demon attempted to escape, but found it could neither use Albert’s arcane magic nor the abilities inherent to higher beings.

Even its final curses were suppressed by the power contained in the golden liquid.

The blood-red flames and golden flames were distinctly apart, the two non-human entities competing in willpower and vitality.

Whichever could not endure and perished first would signal the end of this grand performance, and Yate would also reach its conclusion.

And naturally, the victor would not be the one on the side of righteousness.

After a long yet brief wait, Liu Zheng struggled to climb out from the Observatory, now a crater, drenched all over.

When the first meteorite collapsed the Observatory, the lake water had backflown, and the effect of the Heart of the Ocean also took effect.

With 50% damage reduction, 100% recovery speed enhancement, and a massive reserve of stamina, he had forcefully endured until the meteor shower ended.

Of course, the effect of the Dragon Robe Funeral Clothes to block a fatal injury was still consumed.

"Muro, was this also in your calculations?"

Liu Zheng looked towards the lake, seemingly seeing that foolish woman’s gentle smile.

He then looked towards where the Moon Demon had stood, and there too was a deep crater.

But it wasn’t created by a meteorite; it was burnt by flames.

On the gradually cooling lava, a Blood Gem as large as a heart and shaped like a crescent moon reflected dazzling firelight.

"Phew, that’s a relief."

Liu Zheng let out a sigh of relief.

He had expended so many trump cards in this wave; it would have been too great a loss had he not achieved anything.

"Splendid, truly splendid. If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed that a man could accomplish killing three higher beings consecutively in such a short time."

Accompanied by applause, a man wielding an iron staff slowly walked out from the mist.

"Old man, you’re still not dead yet."

Liu Zheng sneered.

The person was indeed Albert, even his attire was exactly the same as before.

"I won’t die before I exhaust the truths of the universe."

Albert said with a smile.

"Then who was that unfortunate soul who got possessed just now?"

He asked.

"That was Mikolbach, an outstanding young Scholar. Sadly, he attempted to obtain the secrets of the Inner Eye violently from me, so I had to let him play a rather insignificant role."

Albert explained.

"Ha, that’s just like your dark old tricks."

Liu Zheng was already somewhat suspicious.

After all, a smart person like him, even if he wanted to benefit from the chaos, would stay a bit further away, not in the thick of things.

"It’s merely the wisdom of the elderly. Now, let’s talk about something more valuable."

Albert said.

"What topic?"

"Cooperate with me on some experiments, and then you can leave Yate safely."

Albert offered the conditions.

"Ha? Old man, are you senile? You know I’ve speedran through three higher beings, and you still dare to threaten me?"

Liu Zheng looked at him as if he were looking at a fool.

"I suggest you kindly go die a death, lest I pull out your intestines and stuff them down your windpipe."

"Blustering won’t work on me, young man. I know your cards are all played out, and now you’re nothing more than a powerful mortal."

Albert wore a confident expression.

"Killing one old fool is enough."

Liu Zheng said coldly.

Though he had almost used up his items, and his reserves of stamina were depleted, he still had the Heart of the Ocean.

As long as he jumped into Meteorite Lake, with the dual enhancements of speed and reduced damage, he could still fight.

"It seems you still misunderstand me somewhat."

Albert shook his head.

"Before I hired the Hunters, how do you think I explored the Tommer Ruins?"

He released his staff and unbuttoned the seam stitched inside his garment.

"It was precisely through this well-tempered body."

Albert laughed loudly, pulling off the wide Scholar’s robe to reveal the body underneath.

The muscles, twisted like writhing long worms or entangled tree roots with their grey and parched hue, appeared fearsome.

Regardless, Liu Zheng could still sense a terrifying power within.

"Gelman was known as the First Hunter, but few knew that I taught him all his combat skills."
