Inside the cramped basement, a loud explosion roared.
In that brief instant, the generator overloaded, the hand-built engine pressurized, power transmitted, hydraulic force accumulated. Blazing heat leaked from the extremely crude exoskeleton as violent power transferred amid the shriek of metal grinding. The steel rebar reinforcing the shoulders groaned and split with cracks, unable to bear the burden.
And the absurdly oversized Wailing Iron Hammer came falling from the sky with a wave of Ji Jue's hand!
The shockwave spread in every direction along with sprays of viscous blood plasma.
As if a tomato had been smashed.
The Mutated Creature that barged through the door literally had its vision blackened. Then it blackened again. Before it could react after taking a full blow from the hammer, Ji Jue swept it sideways, sending it flying into the wall. Another boom rang out as cracks spread across it.
In pain, the Mutated Creature formed from countless limbs let out a mad howl. Its limbs flailed wildly, propping up its body in a chaotic mess as it rapidly restored itself.
It had already been a bloody and mangled lump of flesh. Ji Jue's two hammer blows had practically given it plastic surgery.
At that moment, eyes opened across its "shoulders," "waist," and even its "six legs," staring fixedly at Ji Jue. Without warning or any windup, it finished charging and launched itself at him!
Its speed was unbelievable.
Like a phantom, it rushed towards him in an instant.
Ji Jue had no time to lift his overly heavy hammer before his neck and head were exposed beneath the huge mouth that suddenly opened from its chest.
Then...
With a bia~ sound!
The Mutated Creature was plastered against the enormous shield that seemed to have appeared out of thin air in his other hand.
