"Die... die!"
The lump of flesh seemed to have lost its mind. Painful wails came from its twisted human faces as it swung its fleshy arms at Bai Sheng.
Bai Sheng raised the Scythe Blade and severed one fleshy arm in a single strike, then used the shaft to brace against the other, locking down its movement.
"Eat my sword!"
Aatrox chopped off the other fleshy arm with one swing. Chunks of broken flesh kept falling from the wound as blood poured out.
"I want you all to die!!!"
The lump of flesh did not care in the slightest that both its arms had been severed. It regenerated four more arms at incredible speed, and its attacks became even more frequent.
"Watch out!"
Bai Sheng and Aatrox dodged to opposite sides. The spot where they had just stood had already been smashed into a pitted mess by the fleshy arms, the once incredibly sturdy alloy floor now looking like a pool of rotten mud.
"I'll take the left, you take the right. Cut down the main body first. I refuse to believe you can still regenerate after we chop you into minced meat!"
Bai Sheng was fed up with this endlessly regenerating ability. He was ready to hit this giant lump of flesh with something big.
Aatrox naturally understood what Bai Sheng meant. The bat wings on his back beat as he endured the fleshy arms' attacks and took the chance to drive the Greatsword in his hand into the lump's bloated body.
"Ahhh... ah!"
Several twisted human faces were squeezed together, their wails sounding utterly inhuman.
Bai Sheng did not care about any of that. Seeing the lump temporarily stop attacking, he rushed before it at top speed and hacked at it with one scythe strike after another, only stopping when the Scythe Blade had cut it into several large chunks.
Looking at the chunks of flesh still twitching faintly, Bai Sheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and turned to Aatrox.
"Done! Let's clean this up, then—"
Before Bai Sheng could finish, Aatrox saw the chunks of flesh behind him rapidly gathering back together. Knowing something was wrong, he charged over at top speed and shoved Bai Sheng away.
The next instant, the freshly reassembled mass of flesh suddenly shot a massive bone spike from its body, impaling Aatrox straight through.
"Hahaha! Die!..."
The reassembled lump of flesh was covered in scars of different colors, making it look even more vicious and disgusting.
Bai Sheng broke out in a cold sweat. If he had still been standing there just now, even the gods probably could not have saved him.
"You're celebrating a little too early!"
Aatrox, despite being impaled, grabbed the bone spike with one hand and instead hurled the lump of flesh away.
As the leader of the Darkin, even though this body could only wield thirty percent of his power, he still had plenty of strength.
Bai Sheng accelerated as well, raising the Scythe Blade high and slashing at the lump of flesh again. This time, however, he was forced back by suddenly growing bone spikes.
His Path was [Harmony]. It was not really suited for combat, but rather for support. Yet with circumstances as they were, Bai Sheng, a support, could only act as a warrior.
For the first time, he disliked how little killing power his Path possessed. It had neither [Destruction]'s ability to endure and fight nor [Path of the Hunt]'s incredible speed and one-hit killing power. Aatrox's current puppet body could not receive any buffs—was he supposed to buff the lump of flesh instead?
This was getting troublesome. He and Aatrox could not deal with this lump of flesh, but it was blocking the door, leaving them unable to get out. They were stuck in a deadlock.
Aatrox's Greatsword had also been absorbed into the lump of flesh, leaving him unable to help much now.
In a moment of carelessness, Aatrox was caught up by a fleshy arm. In an instant, crackling sounds came from the puppet body. Bai Sheng knew that the lump of flesh had directly destroyed the puppet.
"Wait for me. I'll be there soon. Hang in there, kid!"
Aatrox's figure vanished. He could not help here anyway, so he might as well return to the body Bai Sheng had made for him earlier, the one that could let him wield one hundred percent of his strength. Then he could use Path Energy.
Yes, the temporary puppet Bai Sheng had hastily made could not withstand Path Energy. That was also why the two of them had failed to take down this lump of flesh for so long.

Scene Break: Sob sob sob o(╥﹏╥)o)
Bai Sheng nodded. Looking at the still-howling lump of flesh, he gathered himself and prepared to deal with it. Unexpectedly, in the very next moment, a powerful shove suddenly struck his back.
Holy Beleria! He had been ambushed!
Only then did he see clearly that, at some unknown point, a fleshy arm had silently extended behind him, allowing it to ambush Bai Sheng successfully.
He felt as though he had been hit by a dump truck. His back was in agonizing pain!
Just as the fleshy arm swung again, intending to lash Bai Sheng, a blood-red afterimage suddenly appeared. The arm that had been raised high vanished without a trace, leaving only a massive, horrifying scar resembling a bite mark on the flesh.
"Ahhhhhhh!..."
The lump of flesh howled in pain again, several fleshy arms flailing wildly without a target.
"Hehehe, Bai Sheng, Bai Sheng! Good friend! I'm here!"
The blood-red afterimage teleported before Bai Sheng. Only then did he see clearly that it was a little girl. A few drops of blood had accidentally splattered onto her white hair, giving off an eerie crimson glow.
"Beleria?"
Beleria seemed happy that Bai Sheng remembered her name. She nodded excitedly, then pointed at the lump of flesh and said:
"Is that big thing bullying you?"
"Uh... in a way, I guess it is..."
Hearing Bai Sheng say that, a trace of anger appeared on Beleria's face, though she still asked him with a smile:
"Then can I eat it?"
Looking into Beleria's sparkling eyes, Bai Sheng knew how unusual she was. She could eat an entire army, so this chunk of flesh probably wouldn't be a problem, right?
"Can I? Can I? Best friend, pretty please~ Beleria hasn't had a full meal in such a long time~"
Bai Sheng silently observed a second of mourning for the lump of flesh. For it to catch this little ancestor's eye, it really was unlucky.
"Go ahead. It's not like I can stop you, right? Just don't make yourself sick. Once I'm done here, I'll take you out for a feast!"
At Bai Sheng's words, Beleria's eyes instantly lit up with excitement. After happily hugging Bai Sheng, she turned around to deal with the mass of flesh.
"Big guy, where should I start eating you?"
The way Beleria looked at the lump of flesh was plainly that of a diner eyeing a delicious meal. It seemed she truly didn't take this infinitely regenerating mass of flesh seriously.
"Ahhh!... You all deserve to die..."
The lump of flesh roared as it swung a fleshy arm at Beleria. Beleria merely revealed a sickly expression and murmured:
"Hehehe, tasty food, Beleria's coming for you~"
