The Downpour Falls × Fast Rain

It got dark.

It wasn't a dark, oppressive gloom, but rather a faded color.

A sky-like hue slowly faded.

How can one describe this scene in words?

Kevin couldn't find the word.

The faint sense of danger emanating from the surrounding air made his hair stand on end.

The atmosphere, permeated with a subtle sense of danger, made him somewhat uncomfortable.

This was not a fatal sensation, nor was it the same deadly danger as when I stood above the Sand Worm.

Rather, it is a subtle, silent, and gentle sense of danger, like the whisper of a breeze.

It sent chills down his spine, but not to the point of making him nervous or terrified. Kevin held Melusina's hand.

Seeing Kevin's expression, Melusina immediately realized what was going on, and the two of them stood back to back, observing their surroundings.

Four Maid Nen Beast appeared from different directions, standing protectively around the two.

The Nen Aura is projected in a columnar sweep.

The scan was performed to the maximum extent possible, but nothing was found.

There was nothing enormous.

There aren't even many small creatures.

Everything looked exactly the same as before.

The colors in the sky were still fading.

The two seemed to sense something.

He looked up at the sky.

The vast sky, which was originally a clear blue or gray tone, began to lose its saturation, becoming like an old parchment covered with a layer of gray that looked like mother-of-pearl.

The sunlight wasn't completely blocked, but it seemed to penetrate thick frosted glass, becoming thin and distorted, casting long, indistinct shadows that swayed slightly, like reflections in water.

"It's a vast area. Is this some kind of natural phenomenon?" Melusina murmured to herself, knowing she wouldn't get an answer.

Kevin stared intently at the sky.

A large area was already enveloped by this environment, making escape impossible.

But the faint sense of danger in the air seemed to suggest that there was no real danger.

His brows were furrowed tightly.

In this bizarre celestial scene, the colors begin to distort.

Clouds gathered inexplicably, their colors swirling together in a distorted mix.

It made the already gloomy sky even grayer.

A torrential rain is about to hit.

"Find somewhere to shelter from the rain!"

Kevin quickly replied.

The instant he finished speaking, Xiao Hong sprang forward and slammed into a giant tree beside her.

He swung his Meteor Hammer wildly, sending wood chips flying everywhere.

They dug a tree pit at lightning speed and rushed inside.

They hid in the tree pit.

Hiding inside did not improve their expressions; they remained solemnly watching the outside world.

The heavy rain began to fall.

There was no thunder warning, and no gradual increase in the amount of rain.

"Splash--!"

It was as if someone had suddenly torn open the curtain of space, and the sound of rain, so dense it was suffocating, suddenly erupted.

The rain is pouring down.

It only lasted a moment.

It was as if white sediment had just crashed down; it didn't look like Raindrop at all, but rather like water flowing down.

All they could see within their field of vision was a vast expanse of white.

The Raindrop were so dense that they connected with each other, forming a "curtain" that obscured the view.

The large tree they were hiding from also began to sway.

"They're draining my Nen Aura, so fast, so very fast!" Melusina cried out.

The sound of the torrential rain was deafening, making it difficult to hear the shouts clearly.

"Cut off."

As the Nen Aura was severed, Melusina gasped for breath.

The instant the rain began to fall, she felt her Nen Aura surge out wildly to maintain the Nen Beast outside.

The curtain of rain completely obscured their view of what was happening outside.

"Wood chips, look there!" Melusina pointed.

Kevin looked over.

Right at the edge of the tree hole, the wood shavings that had just been cut out were decaying at a visible rate.

It's like speeding up a long-shot video.

They even saw seeds and buds sprouting from the edges of the dug-out tree stump, breaking through and growing at a visible speed.

"Are the Raindrop accelerating growth here?" Kevin asked, puzzled.

"Brush!"

The sound of something cutting through the air cleaved the Rain Curtain.

It slammed into Kevin's body in an instant, and even though he instinctively used his electrical protection, a bloody hole still appeared in his shoulder.

A weasel with gray and white fur.

So fast, there was absolutely no time to react.

Kevin's eyes widened; he had never encountered such a swift and unexpected attack before.

Without hesitation, he grabbed it with one hand.

The deadly attack, without hesitation, gripped the weasel's body with a powerful claw, squeezing it tightly.

Flesh and blood exploded instantly.

He just crushed the weasel to death like that.

So weak.

What is it?

He had thought it would be a deadly danger, but he actually solved it just like that.

Shouldn't this rat be too fast for him to react? Why was it so easily crushed?

"Brush!"

Another sound of something cutting through the air.

This time, the two of them still didn't react.

A long tongue wrapped around Kevin's neck, making him glare angrily.

Why so fast?

The two attacks combined took less than three seconds, one after the other, giving the two no time to react.

The long tongue wrapped around Kevin's neck and then dragged him out.

He was pulled out.

Melusina grabbed Kevin's leg, but it was clear that the other man was extremely strong.

They also dragged Melusina out along with her.

The two were suddenly exposed to the Rain Curtain.

This wasn't rain at all; it was like a waterfall of water washing over me.

The body moves faster than the will.

The moment he was pulled into the Rain Curtain, Kevin's body started moving on its own.

Fine scales grew directly along his skin, and his body immediately entered a state of extreme strain.

It stretched its arms upwards, claws outstretched, and gripped the tongue tightly.

He grabbed it hard.

They actually tore the tongue off completely, and Kevin himself fell to the ground.

The same applies to Melusina.

However, Kevin was completely unable to react at that moment.

His body was out of his control.

He was in a state of complete hatred.

Because the series of actions just now took less than a second, so fast that he didn't have time to react at all.

From being dragged into the Rain Curtain and pushed to his limit, to having his tongue torn off, and then crashing to the ground.

It didn't even last a second.

Even if he were a god, he wouldn't be able to react in time.

It's entirely due to the muscle memory I'd built up beforehand, allowing my body to move on its own.

My head was just starting to spin around.

Before he could even begin to control his body, the thought caused him to stand up abruptly.

It was so fast that Kevin himself didn't even have time to react.

His reaction was so quick that it was as if he had stood up the instant he landed.

Melusina was also dragged in, lay sprawled on the ground, then stood up with an incomprehensible speed.

This speed was even faster than Kevin could see.

It's like the video has been cut from frame to frame.

In the previous frame Melusina was lying on the ground, and in the next frame, she was standing up.
