Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Killing Sacrifice

Night fell, and the night in Cambridge under the moonlight was a bit depressed.

Because of the continuous beast attacks, there are basically few pedestrians who dare to travel alone, and the crowd that was originally strolling leisurely has disappeared, leaving only cars whizzing by, with a panicked hurry.

Obviously, they were right to be cautious, because the horrible killer was still hovering the ancient city

chirping

There was a slight sound, and the seemingly sealed ancient wooden window of an ancient building in the dim alley suddenly opened slowly.

Behind the window appeared a terrifying claw with hard fur, long hooked claws with a metallic chill, and after that, a pair of ruthless eyes that reflected the cold green light in the darkness suddenly opened!

Another night of killing, it's begun!

"Purr"

With a strange groan, the monster swerved out of the window, its swift movements turning its form into a complete afterimage.

Under the faint afterglow of the street lamp, the behemoth that pulled out a long shadow flicked its whip-like tail to close the wooden window again, and then quietly dived into the darkness with a few jumps with a strange agility, peeking into the light in the light in front of it.

Boom, boom, boom

At this moment, several cars suddenly sped past on the silent road outside the alley, perhaps sensing that this noisy metal creature was not easy to mess with, and the miserable green eyes in the shadows suddenly retreated into the depths of the alley again.

"Purr"

With that strange sound again, the monster, which had already devoured more than a dozen lives, suddenly looked up, looked at the low building on the side, and jumped suddenly, with the help of the walls on both sides, it jumped almost silently and crossed into the roof of the two-story old building next to it.

However, for its current huge size of nearly two meters, it was obvious that this old-fashioned roof was really a bit small, because the next moment, with a slight touch with the bricks, the black shadow with a little big movement almost fell down as soon as he took a step.

However, it seems that this has happened quite a few times, and it quickly adjusts.

Choosing a few relatively wide and sturdy buildings at the top as a foothold, the terrifying beast had completely devoid of superfluous sounds by the time he stepped again, as if something had absorbed the sounds that were preventing it from killing.

Shuttling and jumping, the shadow scurried from building to building, its faintly pointed ears guiding its prey in the direction of its prey—a young man who had clearly drunk too much.

Although judging from the man's sloppy but valuable clothes, it is clear that this is not the kind of real drunkard like a homeless man, but the swaying pace and the smell of alcohol all over his body at the moment also show that his current state does not seem to be good.

"Di Lina, why did you leave me..."

The man who was unaware of the danger muttered inarticulately, perhaps grieving his lost love, but he did not know that the footsteps of death had come to him

The miserable green eyes seemed to be getting brighter and brighter, as if they couldn't wait to enjoy the killing.

The monster is getting closer and closer, but the more experienced it is, the lighter it becomes.

The body skimming under the light can clearly see the subtle rhythm of the muscles under the fur, like a pre-heating machine, accumulating the power of future explosions

Call!

There was a fierce gust of wind, and the black shadow swooped down in a scream, accompanied by an abruptly terrified scream, and blood was splashed everywhere!

I don't know if it's an illusion, after the man's tragic death, the monster that was devouring it seemed to instantly become a little bigger, and the miserable green eyes were brighter, and even the cold minions seemed to become darker and more tenacious and sharp

And all this happened to fall into the eyes of a figure who had just fallen from the sky to the roof in the distance.

"I've awakened such a strange arcane"

Frowning his brows, his eyes blessed with arcane power made Dong Xuan, who had just arrived because he sensed the violent arcane fluctuations, clearly peek into the appearance of this murderous beast that terrified the entire city.

It's a strange creature that resembles a leopard overall.

It had a gray-black fur, the kind of fur that was tough and wide like alien scales was undoubtedly the best hiding in the dark, and the long claws and terrifying fangs like saber-toothed tigers that fell low on blood and minced flesh, with the strong muscles covered by the fur.

This monstrous creature seems to be the most stark expression of nature's definition of violence.

Of course, the most impressive thing is its eyes.

The miserable green eyes carried a cruel and indifferent wisdom, and even there seemed to be a hint of madness that flashed from time to time between the inadvertent shaking

"Judging by the size, this was supposed to be a wild cat, right?"

This can be regarded as solving Dong Xuan's doubts about why human deaths have only recently occurred.

He could almost imagine how the poor little wildcat, after awakening to arcane powers, had evolved step by step by killing rats, snakes, and other wild cats and dogs, and had mutated to the point where it had now surpassed the tiger by more than two meters.

It's definitely a long story with animals as the main characters.

However, the only thing that sets this kitten apart from those protagonists is that this kitten is far less lucky.

"An Unlucky Beast"

Sensing the arcane wisdom it had awakened, Dong Xuan gave up his plan to subdue this monster that seemed to be very fierce and had an unusually rich combat experience.

Because he knew very well how dangerous this monster that looked like a mixture of a leopard, a saber-toothed tiger and a lizard, and most importantly, immune to the mark of enslavement!

"Is it really a killing sacrifice? Looks like this arcane energy can't even be recovered, I don't want to be turned crazy by that polluting power, it's a pity"

It was one of his worst predictions, and one he didn't want to see at all, as it meant a precious piece of arcane energy was wasted.

It all started with the forbidden arcane of Killing Sacrifice.

Except for the super antique of the God of Wisdom, this kind of special arcane that few people in the Destruction Universe can do, although the release level is only level 7, but its power and evil make even a high-level arcanist of more than ten levels dare not try it easily.

This strange thing, which is more like a ritual than an arcane artefacts, can only be released on oneself, and after using this arcane art, the releaser will suddenly enter a wonderful state of accelerated evolution with killing as the source.

As long as you continue to kill like crazy, even a weak mouse can eventually turn into a terrifying beast comparable to a dragon!

If it were simply so, it would undoubtedly be an arcane ability that everyone could only dream of, but it was clear that under the name of forbidden art, it naturally had a huge flaw that no sane person could accept

- The power of the arcane will gradually devour all the user's mind and even soul as they kill, and finally cultivate a terrifying puppet that only has the killing instinct left!

This is also the reason why Dong Xuan said that the mark of enslavement is invalid against it.

Obviously, the means of controlling the soul are undoubtedly of no use to a soulless thing.

It can be said that the animal in front of him seems to be very rational because the use time is too short, and the killing power has not accumulated a lot, as long as the momentum continues, kill another hundred and eighty people, and a crazy mutant monster can be declared fresh.

Suffice it to say, except for a handful of guys who will do anything to get revenge, no one will want to try something terrible.

Moreover, this thing is not without additional risks for the user.

"Fortunately, this universe without Arcanists exists, if it were replaced by a ruined universe, it is estimated that many people would go crazy because of the appearance of this thing."

The reason why the Killing Ritual is more like a ritual is that once someone else kills a presence using this arcane, the previously accumulated power will be integrated into the killer at once to improve it comprehensively.

These big, filthy power orthodox arcanists may not look down on them, but for the vast majority of people who aren't, it's a crazy good.

So, even if they learn this arcane by accident, the crazed Avengers will have to weigh whether they can get everything done before they are discovered.

"Actually, when you think about it, it seems to be more operable than those simple arcane powers?"

As the only person on earth who knows about it, Dong Xuan, who touched his chin, suddenly felt a move in his heart.

This kind of enhancement that could be obtained by anyone was more valuable than absorbing it on certain targets before he could research something like a reliable enhancement potion, and he immediately began to think about how to make the most of it.

Of course, there were a few minor problems to deal with before that, such as the figures that had also been silently observing in dark corners before finally pounced on the mutant wildcats

"Is the British government subduing the Arcane Humans?"

Feeling the arcane power that he had already noticed, Dong Xuan raised his eyebrows, and then slowly hooked the corners of his mouth
