Chapter 354 Synergy
The words that came from the professor woke up the minds of people. They realized that they didn't have much control over what was happening right at the current moment. No control over their life. Why? Because they were powerless! They were weak! Only a monster could beat the monster.
So, with that, the crowd of people became quiet. And they could only watch the fight while keeping their thoughts to themselves. They also backed away from the battlefield, as they knew that they would die with just one attack. Their bodies were fragile, they can easily die at any time.
"Since that human had escaped. It's your turn now. No one will save you. You are all destined to become my food! You should feel honored. As the most perfect being in this world is about to devour you!" The sound of gibberish came out of the monster's mouth.
Eugene, as the strongest, should be responsible for fending off the monster. But he doesn't feel that he has that responsibility. He only treats humans to those who are pleasing to his eyes. Those pleasing to his eyes were those who had value. So he continued to act as a spectator.
The degu users released all their abilities and all their eyes glued to the monster. They watched every movement the monster made. They knew that they have to be careful after they saw its speed from its earlier fight with Chris. After all, just one second is all it takes.
One second is all it takes for the monster to reduce its number! One second became crucial as they faced a monster that exceeded their speed and reaction. So, a magical scene appeared. The abilities appeared like a colorful rainbow that drew the gasps of those people who saw it.
"Hahaha!! Bring it on!" Brick Norty walked step by step towards the degu users. His momentum and speed increased by seconds. A powerful pressure poured out from his body, full of malice and killing intent, which suffocated the opposing group of degu users. And so, he vanished from his place.
One of the degu users raised his hand, and the four beside him follow. Then, a four-meter puppet with crystallize body rose from the ground, which has a strange dark star summoning mark. Beside the puppet, a yellow mist flowed smoothly around it. It acted as a protective cover.
Just like that, it moved to the front of the four degu users like a guardian. A transparent chain also appeared on the hand of the puppet, which made it hard to spot from the naked eye. This is the synergy they came up with after they discussed their abilities.
'These scums really thought that this is enough to stop me? Do these humans use their brains?' So with an unparalleled speed. Brick slashed the yellow mist... He felt a strange repulsive resistance for a second, but his scythe easily passed through it, as if it was water. 'That's it?'
Before he could even think, a transparent chain suddenly attached itself to his arms, which slowed down his attack. When turned around, he saw a man in a yellow coat connected to the chains which progressively bound his limbs. Then, the golem raised its hand, its crystallize, diamond fist moved forward.
"Pummel him!! Can this monster resist our combination attacks?" The man shouted in excitement as he held the transparent chains tightly. Then he infused a small amount of degu energy on the chains to make it tougher. "Madonna, use your abilities now! We will turn this abominable monster into dust!!"
Madonna, the woman that looks like a mannequin, nodded and touched the chains on her hands. Then on her palms, purple flames flowed through the transparent chains smoothly, an excellent conductor. The flames burned vigorously, and the air crackled with its intensity. One would even notice the chains cracked slightly.
The purple flames reach Brick Norty in an instant and fully enveloped his body. His dark skin wriggled, and the purple flames incinerated his cells. The pain was so much that he growled three times. He felt as if acid devoured his body, directly thrown into a sea of poison.
Before he could even exert his strength to destroy the chains that bound him. He felt a heavy pressure hit his whole body. The internal organs, which have a different structure than humans, took the force and were crushed thoroughly. Then he flew out and collided with the wall.
"Did we finally get him? Hahaha! It seems we will become heroes of this city!" The man looked at his transparent chains that got broken from the monster's struggle. He didn't expect that he would be among the group that would take down a monster that defeated an A rank!
"Yes, you really got me. For your B rank realms, what you did is an achievement. But it would take more to even hope of killing me! Now die! You have failed this city." A fifteen-meter anaconda with crimson eyes, black scales, and opened its mouth with green acid.
The mouth revealed two sharp fangs, and a long, pointed pink tongue. Without suspense, the black anaconda bit the man whole and swallowed him alive. The man who was just about to celebrate died just like that. Corroded by the combination of almost deadly acids that could be found.
'Forty-five left...' Brick Norty counted on his head as if he was just counting how many hotdogs he would eat. He didn't even chew the guy out of spite. After all, the purple flames from a C rank can't really bring harm to him, but it lets him experience pain.
What really inflicted damage on him was the golem. Externally, it didn't give him even a wound. But it was a pure blunt force that targeted his internal organs! And he might be strong externally, but not internally! After all, from the genes he collected, there's not anything that improves it.
The four degu users quickly jumped at the back of the golem in fear. The appearance of the black snake and the horrific death of the chain user startled them. As they witnessed how the monstrous snake swallowed their comrade alive and made them lose the will to fight.
