Black mist shrouded the entire world.
Thunderous rumbles and howls rang out without pause.
Several powerful adventurers circled the Apocalypse Monster, constantly maneuvering as they waited for a chance to attack.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Each time the monster took a step, the ground trembled faintly.
It was fast. Several times, just as it nearly caught up to Gu Qingshan, a Flying Sword casually slapped it back.
"It's determined to kill you," Earth Sword hummed.
"Stop using the 'Holy Land' divine ability all the time. Let it get a little closer and give it a tiny bit of hope. Otherwise, it'll go after someone else," Gu Qingshan sent through voice transmission.
"Fine. Be careful." Earth Sword moved aside.
Gu Qingshan shifted his sword technique.
A sharp whistle split the air. Heaven Sword erupted overhead, sending nine enormous sword images roaring down in succession to crash into the monster.
—Heaven's Judgment!
The monster's body, made of flames, was cleaved apart again and again, and gobs of magma poured out.
"You... damn..."
The monster roared and staggered after him.
Yue Ge followed not far behind it. Her hands moved like afterimages, emptying her entire quiver in a single breath. She immediately stopped to replace it.
Blowgunner Hakulu took her place, raising his blowgun and calmly aiming at the Apocalypse Monster.
Whoosh—
A sharp wooden dart streaked through the air and plunged straight into the Apocalypse Monster's backside.
Splat!
Magma rained down everywhere, splashing in all directions. It turned to ash and went out completely while still in midair, then plummeted to the ground.
The blowgun dart carried three powers: penetration, shattering, and death. It was the most lethal attack among the mercenaries. Once it hit its target, it dealt considerable damage.
The monster immediately let out a long, furious roar.
"Who's behind me?
