Chapter 155 - 154: Clean Sweep
Hassina stared at the terrifying, ferocious Steel Beast, her jaw agape. "He’s dead! Killing Python Bika was a Great Spirit Master Peak expert, and he just... died like that! What is that thing? What kind of monster is it? How can it be so terrifying?"
A strange glint flashed in Zhao Zixing’s beautiful eyes. "So this is Shu Feng’s strongest Slaughter Fierce Beast. It’s truly terrifying. To think it still possesses such horrifying power, even in our world."
Zhao Zixing had personally witnessed the Steel Beast’s savagery in the Badge World, where it had easily slaughtered the five great generals. Now that Shu Feng had summoned this terrifying Slaughter Fierce Beast to this world, it remained just as savage, killing an expert like Killing Python Bika in a single encounter.
After killing Killing Python Bika in a single surprise attack, the Steel Beast flickered, turning into a Residual Shadow and charging into the ranks of the experts recruited by the Dark Night Church.
The moment the Steel Beast moved, it was like a tiger let loose among sheep, unleashing a storm of blood and gore.
The hearts of the Dark Night Church’s Spirit Masters and Spirit Warrior Level experts were ripped out one by one. They screamed and fell to the ground, only to be pounced upon by the Black Dog Illusion Demons and Ghost-devouring Demons, who tore them apart and devoured them.
The Blue Ocean Club had been thoroughly infiltrated by Shu Feng. No matter where they hid, the bodyguards and Dark Night Church Spiritualists inside were torn to pieces by the Steel Beast and the Synthetic Warrior Corps.
BANG!
The Steel Beast kicked the door to the general manager’s office wide open, strode inside, and slammed a fist into a wall. The wall shattered, revealing a vertical elevator shaft.
The Steel Badge on the Steel Beast’s chest flashed faintly as it activated its Steel Manipulation Ability.
The elevator below rose rapidly, appearing before Shu Feng and his group.
The Ghost-devouring Demons and the Steel Beast entered the elevator.
The elevator descended rapidly, arriving at the Dark Night Church’s main hideout.
Gathered in the Dark Night Church’s hideout were thirty Spirit Master Level experts clad in the church’s robes. At their head was an old man with white hair and a white beard, from whom emanated the Spiritual Power fluctuations of the Great Spirit Master Level.
This white-haired and white-bearded old man was Ophel, a Bishop of the Dark Night Church.
’Damn it, how did it come to this? How dare that little bastard Shu Feng fight back? Isn’t he afraid of causing a diplomatic incident? How can he be so powerful? How did he manage to attack his way all the way here?’
’Isn’t he just a Spirit Master Level Summoner? How is he so strong? And that useless piece of trash, Killing Python Bika! How could he have been so pathetically weak?’
Ophel stared intently at the elevator entrance, his mind in utter turmoil.
Ah Fei Fei had originally laid out a series of traps. First, he’d have Manali frame Shu Feng, then get the Leiyin Republic’s police force involved. Once Shu Feng surrendered without a fight, they could kill him without leaving a trace.
No matter what evidence Shu Feng presented, the only outcome was death. After all, Ah Fei Fei was the Prime Minister of the Leiyin Republic—the most powerful man in the country.
But Ah Fei Fei had never imagined that Shu Feng would just drop all pretenses and launch a full-scale assault on the Blue Sea Club. He not only broke through its defenses, which were guarded by Killing Python Bika, but also fought his way all the way to the Dark Night Church’s main hideout.
BANG!
The elevator car crashed down from above, and its doors slowly slid open.
"Fire!"
At Ophel’s command, the thirty Spirit Master Level experts from the Dark Night Church opened fire. A hail of Spiritual Power Bullets slammed into the elevator doors, riddling the steel with countless bullet holes. They were all using Armor-Piercing Bullets imbued with Spiritual Power; even a Great Spirit Master Level expert would be injured if hit by them.
BOOM!
A terrifyingly loud explosion rang out as the entire elevator car disintegrated into countless steel fragments that shot toward the Dark Night Church experts.
The Steel Beast charged out from under the cover of the countless steel fragments like a terrifying monster. With a wave of its hands, the heads of two Dark Night Church experts flew into the air, splattering blood everywhere.
"For my Lord!"
A fierce glint flashed in the eyes of every Dark Night Church expert. Wielding their Spirit Swords, they charged at the Steel Beast, only to be easily torn to shreds.
Large chunks of flesh and blood splattered across the room.
"Damn it!"
Ophel gritted his teeth, silently chanted an incantation, and took out a vial of ink-black blood, pouring it into his mouth.
The next moment, Ophel’s body swelled, transforming him into a four-meter-tall, miniature Flame Giant. His skin turned red and was covered in countless interwoven runes, and his entire body was wreathed in wisps of flame.
Flame Giants are a type of Extraordinary Creature from the Gulondo World. Adult Flame Giants stand over ten meters tall, possess the innate ability to manipulate flames, have Infinite Strength, and are extremely terrifying. If it weren’t for their low birth rate, humanity would never have become the rulers of the Gulondo World.
This Flame Giant transformation was the terrifying Extraordinary Power Ophel had received from the Lord of the Dark Night. With it, he dared to fight even an expert of the Spirit Sect Realm.
"Two-stage Transformation!"
An ice-cold voice rang out. The Steel Badge on the Steel Beast’s chest flashed, and a red glow filled its eyes. Its body rapidly swelled, and countless sharp steel blades extended from its form.
In the span of a single breath, the Steel Beast transformed into a six-meter-long steel monster covered in blades, one that bore a sixty-percent resemblance to a Xenomorph.
The moment the transformation was complete, the Steel Beast’s form blurred. In an instant, it appeared before Ophel and viciously swiped a claw at him.
"Die, you monster!"
A ferocious look in his eyes, Ophel let out a furious roar and opened his mouth. A terrifying pillar of fire erupted from his throat, slamming into the Steel Beast.
A cold light flashed. The Steel Beast’s tail shot out from its lower body, piercing upward through Ophel’s torso and extending out of his mouth.
The Steel Beast’s claw also pierced Ophel’s chest, ripping his heart out.
The terrifying pillar of fire vanished, revealing the Steel Beast. One-tenth of its Steel Armor had been melted away.
If the pillar of fire had lasted just a little longer, the Steel Beast would have been killed.
"Lord Bishop!"
"No, the monster killed the Lord Bishop!"
"..."
Watching the Steel Beast hunt down and kill Ophel, the hearts of the remaining Dark Night Church experts filled with Fear, and they began to flee in all directions.
The Steel Beast’s form flashed as it gave chase, pouncing on the Dark Night Church experts. Before long, it had slaughtered every last one of them.
