Chapter Forty-Three: Freak Monsters
Surrounded by the corrosive forces of darkness, he stood in the middle of the cafeteria, confronting these monsters.
With the outer wall of the abandoned building blocking it, it doesn't matter if the dark power is released, it will not affect the surrounding forest.
"Fix them quickly......"
He didn't want to stay here any longer.
Suddenly, a monster leaped in front of him, shattering a table at his feet as it landed, and its standing body was huge, its black shadow obscuring half of the room's moonlight, and its head was on the ceiling.
"Magic Light Slash!"
Black Feather slashed at the monster with a swift and relentless black slash. Despite its huge size, the monster was slow to react and had no time to dodge, and was hit head-on in the chest.
It howled miserably, and as it ran frantically to the side, it knocked over a bunch of tables and chairs, and when it ran quickly along the wall, it was able to claw at the wall with its sharp claws, and at the same time, the sharp claw marks continued from the side of the wall, turned the corner, and approached the direction behind the black feather at great speed.
Black Feather thought to himself, "This huge size, well-developed muscles, and dark skin are similar to those who have been injected with ogre potions...... It's just that there is too much difference in strength and intelligence. ”
With the previous battle with the white scorpion, he was more sure in his heart.
The monster leapt from the wall again and pounced on the black feather. Although the speed of its attack was fast, with the blessing of Black Feather's first seal, its eyesight had improved, and in his opinion, the opponent's movements were like slow motion that had been slowed down countless times, and the moves and trajectory of the attack were clearly visible.
He stood still, and then easily lowered his head to dodge the blow of the monster's two claws crossed, and at the same time, the staff pressed against the monster's chest, and a "magic light blast" shot out, and the monster immediately howled, a large hole was broken in the chest, and a murky blood fountain splashed against the walls and ceiling behind it.
As soon as Black Feather flicked the staff, the body of the huge monster was thrown out of the window sideways, and it rolled down to the grass in a dull manner. Black Feather's movements were clean and neat, and there was not a drop of blood stained on his pitch-black magic robe.
Turning back, he continued to stare at the monsters in the fall. The monsters behind them gradually stood up, revealing their huge bodies, their cloudy eyes showing no emotion, and the corners of their mouths spewing foul stench, and salivating incessantly.
What made Black Feather feel even more uncomfortable was their twisted posture, the muscles that had multiplied and expanded were all over the body like tumors, some arms were long and short, and some had a single eye bulging out, and their limbs were twisted and strange.
Seeing that the monster companion just now was thrown out of the window, some low-level monsters prostrate on the ground turned their backs to the sky and let out a painful howl. The sturdy monster in the rear showed anger.
Black Feather thought pityingly, "It's hard to imagine that these monsters were once human...... Use this trick to end your suffering. ”
Facing the direction where the monsters were collectively running, he raised his staff, as if waving a sharp sword and rushing into the encirclement, the staff slashed left and right.
"First slash—"
He slashed out vertically, a sharp flash, a monster with huge eyeballs, the upper and lower body had been split in half, gradually separated, the speed of its eyeballs could not keep up with the speed of Black Feather's move, and bright red blood spurted from the rift.
"Second slash—"
Black Feather turned around and slashed at the strange-shaped monsters that were rushing towards him with a backhand, the moonlight shone right on his side, half of his face was splashed with blood, the corners of his sneering mouth were hooked, and his eyes flashing with cold light were bloodthirsty and ruthless.
The slash slashed away, spraying several streaks of blood on the walls and ceiling, and a row of monsters fell. Then there is the third slash, which is a three-stage slash move that is swung with enough power and speed when the first seal is opened, and the last move is a round dance slash, which attacks without dead ends.
"For the rest of you, let me relieve your pain!"
As he spoke, he ran quickly towards the center of the enemy in the corner, his staff making a terrible arc.
"Magic Light - Round Dance Slash!"
The body rotated in place, and a beautiful black arc light came out of his hand, cutting horizontally through the bodies of the monsters around him, and the bodies of the monsters exploded one after another, and the fragments exploded, blood splattered like raindrops, and the stumps and severed arms fell to the ground.
It's a pity that as a magician, you can only use a staff, and if it's a sword-like weapon, the power of hunting enemies will be doubled.
Black Feather stopped, and the bloody aura suddenly filled the turbid air, which was suffocating.
"The difference between the strength of these monsters and the white scorpion is still very big, maybe it is the product of the failure of the experiment, the potion used by the white scorpion has reached the level of invulnerability, and my slash at that time did not hurt him in the slightest. ”
After a brief summary, he walked out the door and continued to explore the institute, in order to maintain his physical strength, he temporarily closed the first seal, and the boiling dark aura on his body gradually cooled down.
The cafeteria was at the end of the hallway, and when he returned the same way, in the middle of the long hallway, he found an iron door, the frame of which had been badly corroded. Black Feather kicked it open, and the iron door rumbled to the ground, and he walked straight in.
Silence soon returned, except for the echo of empty footsteps, breathing and heartbeat. The darkness was unsettling, and the faint moonlight, the narrow corridors, and the mottled walls on both sides evoked a sense of familiarity, and the terrifying memories that had been buried in his heart gradually came flooding back to him.
His heart beat faster, and the dark tunnel was like an abyss. Compared with the threat posed by the monster, he was more afraid of the overlap between the images in his memory and the reality, and his breathing couldn't help but be short.
Continuing to walk inside, heavy iron doors were opened one after another, and the images in my memory came to mind again......
The whispers of the staff of the institute wearing masks, the blinding shadowless lamp, his young body was tied to the operating table, unable to move, breathing rapidly, looking at his toes, suddenly there was a mechanical sound, he raised his head in horror, and a person with a chainsaw saw at him......
Black Feather gasped and closed his eyes, and he slowly crouched down to shake off these suffocating memories, like a drowning man struggling in the deep sea, gradually coming to the surface.
His palms propped up the dusty walls on one side, and he gradually stood up and insisted on walking forward. As his memories overlapped, on the other side of the hallway, he seemed to see a little boy who looked exactly like himself, walking up the stairs in the basement.
His hands and feet were heavily shackled, clanging with every step, his wrists and ankles were red and swollen, his body was thin and malnourished, and his two eye sockets were sunken downward.
