Abyss Sequence

Chapter 516 91: The Hunt

One bullet after another was fired, with Yan Luo holding a shotgun that seemed to have an endless ammunition reserve. As long as he pulled the forearm and squeezed the trigger, a bullet was bound to shoot out.

The Evil God stared at Yan Luo, waiting for his next move, but Yan Luo was so patient. His cold, emotionless eyes were also fixed on it, mechanically squeezing the trigger, continuously firing bullets.

Is this... a hunt?

Rage surged in the Evil God's heart, finally realizing that Yan Luo was treating it as a difficult-to-deal-with demon in a hunt.

Ordinary hunters, when dealing with a difficult demon, would set traps and then patiently wait for the prey to step into them.

This was exactly what Yan Luo was doing now.

The two sides were now competing in patience. Whoever lost their composure first would expose a weakness to be seized by the other.

Thinking of this, the Evil God felt a surge of confidence.

If it came to a battle of attrition, it didn't need to worry because it had far more energy than Yan Luo.

Once the battle entered the realm of attrition, victory would surely be its!

So the Evil God's movements turned leisurely. After all, evading bullets was a simple task for it.

Yet it was precisely then that the shotgun in Yan Luo's hand suddenly turned into a machine gun, the bullet speed suddenly accelerating, taking the Evil God, who had grown accustomed to the previous rhythm, by surprise, forcing it to dodge hastily.

Even though the Evil God had only one eye, and its facial expression could not be discerned, the people watching the screens could see the panic in its actions, causing them to burst into laughter.

The emotions gathered around Yan Luo instantaneously shifted from anxiety over his long struggle with the Evil God to joy and happiness.

The Evil God's body was grazed by several bullets, with small portions of the information within its body obscured by emotions brought by the bullets, causing it to be infuriated.

It finally realized, Yan Luo was not hunting; he was toying with it.

Just like a clown on the internet willing to do anything for attention, Yan Luo had secretly guided its actions, making it the clown in the eyes of the public.

Because of its powerful presence, whenever the Evil God did something ridiculous, it excited people all the more.

This was undoubtedly a trap set by Yan Luo!

The Evil God knew this well, as Yan Luo had purposefully done this to anger it.

For a hunter, a frenzied, uncontrolled prey was the easiest to handle, so the Evil God was well aware that it could not fall into such a plight.

It had to restrain its emotions, not falling for Yan Luo's ploy.

The Evil God quickly composed itself, only to see Yan Luo's silhouette flicker. In mid-air, he transformed the machine gun in his hand into a spear, charging straight toward it.

This move again? Or could it be some cunning trick?

The Evil God raised its vigilance internally, with many engraving abilities blossoming from inside its body, aimed at driving Yan Luo away.

It had suffered a few times before, realizing that Yan Luo's behavioral patterns were unpredictable.

It couldn't allow itself to be drawn into Yan Luo's behavioral patterns, as it could very well face severe injuries.

The more it got hurt, the less information there would be about itself. The Evil God didn't understand how it suddenly possessed a body, but it knew it couldn't continue getting injured.

Seeing many spells rushing toward itself, Yan Luo flicked the spear in his hand, drawing a circle with the tip to encircle the spells that should have been untouchable. As Yan Luo spun, they got wrapped around the tip of the spear and sent back toward their original caster.

Seeing Yan Luo manage to enclose so many spells and then use them to attack him, the Evil God's single eye widened involuntarily.

How did he do that?

The Evil God retreated quickly, unable to fathom.

Even though the Evil God moved fast, it now had a white dwarf material body, which, under the weight of its massive body, made it slightly slower than Yan Luo.

Because of this slight delay, Yan Luo caught up with the Evil God, the spearhead stabbing straight toward it.

The Evil God swiped its right hand, disintegrating the spells it sent out, then abandoned a part of its body formed of junk information, using it to offset the spear in Yan Luo's hand.

The Evil God now had figured it out; the weapon Yan Luo wielded was composed of 'thoughts.' Although countering this weapon required it to willingly discard a portion of its body, it could choose to abandon useless information, preserving the important data.

Moreover, as long as the abandoned information's weight was half the weight of Yan Luo's 'thought weapon,' Yan Luo's weapon could be neutralized.

And at that moment, Yan Luo would expose a flaw!

The Evil God's body suddenly stopped retreating and charged forward instead.

With its right hand forming a blade, it stabbed fiercely toward Yan Luo's head.

Yan Luo's spear was neutralized by the part of the body that the Evil God had discarded, and as his vision blurred, the Evil God's figure appeared right ahead.

Thunk!

The Evil God's hand blade plunged into Yan Luo's body, its electron-degenerate body beginning to draw out Yan Luo's blood and magnetic field power, disrupting Yan Luo's power exertion.

But this situation, rather, greatly shocked the Evil God, and as it attempted to withdraw its hand from Yan Luo's body, Yan Luo's hand lifted, grabbing its wrist.

The Evil God's hand blade should have pierced Yan Luo's head, but right as it closed in, Yan Luo's body suddenly rose a few centimeters, causing the blade to stab into his shoulder instead.

Yan Luo had gotten hurt, and it was a severe injury.

Because he had willingly dropped his defenses, allowing the Evil God's white dwarf material body to strike him.

Only this was part of his design, and even though he sustained a severe injury, it was within Yan Luo's anticipation and control.

Yan Luo seized the opportunity to grab the Evil God's wrist, reaching into the void with the other hand to pull out a dagger, stabbing fiercely toward the Evil God's abdomen.

Thunk! Thunk! Thunk!

The air seemed to echo with such sounds.

Yan Luo extracted three daggers consecutively from the void, stabbing them into the Evil God's body, concealing its information.

This was a battle of attrition, but if it continued like this, he might die even faster!

The Evil God recognized this, quickly deciding to sever its own right hand, withdrawing furiously to escape.

After the Evil God left, the hand blade lodged in Yan Luo's shoulder dissipated along with it.

The blood production organs began working intensely, replenishing the lost blood, causing Yan Luo's pallor to fade back to a ruddy complexion.

Even injured, Yan Luo didn't retreat, his feet treading on air as he projected forward, swiftly transforming into a meteor.

The Evil God, already far away, saw Yan Luo speeding toward it, in a fury, ready to unleash the 'world-destroying force.'

...Wait, how was that power used again?

The Evil God widened its eyes, realizing it had forgotten how to use that power, even what it was.

Damn it, this must be due to Yan Luo's previous attacks!

"You can't use it."

Just as the Evil God was filled with anxiety, Yan Luo's voice floated over.

Yan Luo charged at the Evil God, wielding a large blade, aiming it at the Evil God's head.

"Only just now did I think of it, you can't use the so-called 'world-destroying force.'"

The Evil God clapped its hands above its head, clamping the large blade to prevent it from slicing down.

[Nonsense! How could I not use that power! I'll use it now to show you!]

The Evil God blustered, straining its brain trying to figure out how to employ that power.

"Because your imagination is insufficient!"

Magnetic force suddenly erupted from Yan Luo's body as two 'thought weapons' materialized at his side, slashing toward the Evil God's flank.

The two newly manifest blades cut into the Evil God's flank, almost cleaving it in half.

"Even I can't imagine what 'world-destroying force' looks like! You're a construct born from the human ethos, people believing you can destroy this world; yet we can't even envision what world destruction entails, whether it deteriorates into a wasteland, or does the entire planet explode, or does the moon crash down, or maybe Blue Star speeds toward the sun... people imagine many scenes, but we have never truly witnessed the world's destruction, cannot envisage that situation!"

The Evil God flew backward, and listening to Yan Luo's words, it couldn't help starting to ponder.

Could the situation really be as Yan Luo described?
