Chapter 1553 - 444: The Might of the Demigod! (Part 2)
Old Hei was surprised to discover that this guy was actually a Bronze Level expert!
And perhaps, just like him, he was only a bit of experience away from breaking through to the Fine Steel Level!
Sure enough, war is the ultimate training ground. In the peaceful Thunder County, apart from adventurers, few Transcendents can be found, but in the neighboring Twilight Province, they are everywhere.
Not only are there Lower Transcendents, but even Upper Transcendents seem to be inflated like currency.
While Old Hei was entangled with the Centurion, he suddenly noticed the beheading knife stuck in the ground fly into the air.
Immediately, the chains dragging on the ground swept in a semi-circular arc like a tornado blowing from flat ground, without any warning. Wherever it passed, whether players or trees, were smashed into a bloody pulp, with bones and splinters mixed together and sent flying!
Caught off guard by this sudden critical hit, the momentum of the players' charge suddenly halted.
And at this moment, they saw a hulking figure emerge from the forest.
The man stood two meters tall, muscles rippling, with centipede-like scars emanating a sinister aura. His head was covered with a pitch-black hood, like an executioner on the gallows.
Unlike typical executioners, he held the beheading knife in his hand, with sinister white mist emanating from his mouth, and eyes hungry for blood like a beast's.
"Holy crap!"
"It's a boss fight!"
Looking at the imposing executioner, the players were not afraid or terrified, but rather excited.
"Catastrophe OL" is different from traditional MMORPGs; combat is not an absolute value calculation. Lower Transcendents are not completely powerless against Upper Transcendents; it's just a matter of the size of the opportunity!
Moreover, if they manage to kill a higher-level opponent, the rich experience reward could boost them several levels!
The bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish. Seeing the boss fight, the players' eyes lit up with greed!
However, the Salvation Army soldiers who rushed out of the village, and the mercenaries and adventurers staying in the village for various reasons, had serious expressions on their faces.
The terrifying oppressive presence shredded their souls, nearly freezing their heartbeats!
What terrifying strength is this!
They even felt that their leader Brennan was no match for this guy!
Seeing those terrified eyes, the face under the black hood twisted into a ferocious grin.
Delicious...
The scent of fear.
His favorite pastime was fully appreciating the panic of those about to be executed.
The despair and humility were something he never tired of; sometimes, to savor it a bit longer, he would devise inefficient execution methods to prolong their lives slightly.
He considered this a form of mercy.
Like now, when he could easily kill them all with a wave of his hand, he chooses to do it one by one.
"...Blame your leader; all traitors must die!"
As he spoke, he slightly exerted force with his right hand, tugging at the iron chain tossed beside him.
Everyone was on high alert!
But at the critical moment, something unexpected happened.
The beheading knife, slanted deep into the ground, seemed to weigh thousands of tons and didn't budge a millimeter!
The tightly-stretched chain creaked as if about to snap!
Ah Ka was slightly stunned. He tugged again, but it still wouldn't move, so he glanced sideways.
The instant he turned to look, his ferocious pupils shrank to a pinpoint.
A two-meter-tall man stood with a foot on his beheading knife, looking at him expressionlessly.
Those calm eyes showed no killing intent but tore at Ah Ka's will like a bottomless abyss.
A mix of surprise and a hint of fear flashed in Ah Ka's pupils... especially when he saw his beheading knife, like an anchor sunk at sea, deeply embedded into the ground.
"...Who are you?!"
He yelled in a stern yet fainthearted voice, while wrapping the chain around his fist, his muscles taut.
Seeing their leader seemingly subdued, the Green Forest Army soldiers froze, clearly not expecting their unstoppable "Executioner" Ah Ka to be disarmed by a nobody.
Shock, daze, fear… all appeared on their faces as if the situation reversed in an instant, switching them to the execution stand.
Not only were the Green Forest Army shocked, but the Salvation Army and the players were astonished as well.
"Damn..."
"Isn't that... the owner of the Giant Stone Inn?!"
"Is he really this badass?!"
They knew he was strong, even creating his own martial arts, but didn't expect him to be this powerful!
Standing in the crowd, the Lighter swallowed hard.
A foreboding feeling gripped him, thinking that this powerful boss might be narrative-killed before they had a chance, rendering them once again surplus to requirements in the battle.
Who's the NPC here?!
Taking a reckless risk, he planned to secretly shoot the boss for some experience, but his joints felt locked in place, immobilized.
"Damn—"
It really is narrative kill!
The damn script doesn't even try to pretend!
Vaguely, he seemed to glimpse a mysterious blue butterfly quietly resting on a nearby branch.
What a beautiful butterfly...
Just as he thought it, and blinked, the butterfly vanished again...
