Wu Jianguo
Wu Jianguo, an ordinary-looking man, strode into the forest, while the bald, burly man rushed towards the river.
"Oh, now it's just us left. So, Jasmine, who do you choose as your opponent?" A said in his usual flippant tone, "What a pity, that guy Sengruier died so quickly."
"That tentacle thing is disgusting, you can have it," Jasmine said coldly. Then, a blue aura emanated from her body, and a light suit of armor enveloped her. "Quickly defeat the opponent and go help the others."
"What a boring woman, don't you think, you honest big guy?" A shook her head and laughed at Zack. "By the way, there's something you should thank me for. The company decided to clean up the garbage, but a few people were on vacation. I found them in a house, along with a woman, and I killed them all while I was at it."
"So, you should thank me, shouldn't you?" A made no attempt to hide his mockery, then leaped backward to dodge Zack's incoming fist. A malevolent purple aura emanated from his body, and he was covered in armor with barbed spikes.
"Tsk tsk tsk, you're already getting angry?" A spread his hands, revealing half-meter-long claws, and a twisted purple phantom appeared behind him. "I'd love to know how you killed that piece of trash, Sengruier. Well then, feel the Malice from the World."
Meanwhile, the battle also began. The Twins darted into the forest, and Jasmine's cloak seemed to possess a strange power, lifting her into the air. A sphere floated in front of her, capable of releasing wind blades like an automatic machine gun. The wind blades that shot out were enough to cut through anything, and they were extremely fast.
"It's no use, you can't escape. Don't waste my time, okay?" Jasmine waved her hand, and countless gusts of wind blew to one side. The tree that had been secretly Mutation by the Twins had just made an attacking posture when it was decomposed into wood chips by the countless gusts of wind.
"Die!" Jasmine waved her hand forward, and hundreds of wind blades shot out, cutting any object in her way into pieces.
The bald, Colt, ran to the riverbank, looked at the hundreds of monsters that resembled black mist, pursed his lips without speaking, clasped his hands together, and a yellowish-brown light emanated from his body. A set of sharply defined armor appeared on his body, and then the earth trembled.
A gigantic mud giant rose from the ground, supporting Colt who was standing on it. Colt's four- or five-meter-tall armored body became its head. Then the mud giant suddenly shook its body and slammed its fist into the ground. The mud on the ground surged towards the river like waves, submerging all the black mist monsters along the way and threatening to cover the river.
Colt was the quietest member of A Team, but he was the strongest besides the captain. That's why Wu Jianguo trusted him to deal with the source of the black mist.
Just as the surging waves of mud were about to submerge and cover the river, Colt saw the seemingly boundless black mist condense into strangely shaped weapons, which were launched like cannonballs, striking the riverbank and fixing all the mud in place, staining it with a layer of black, making it impossible for Colt to control the mud there.
"Is that so? Looks like I'll have to go all out," Colt thought to himself. Behind him, a phantom image of a Triceratops condensed from an earthen-yellow light, and the clay giant moved towards the riverbank.
"Come out. There's no need to keep hiding. I should be the last fighting force the company has sent this time." Wu Jianguo's expression was very calm as he stood casually in the forest. His uniform was plain and unremarkable. If you didn't know his identity, you would think he was just an insignificant nobody from the Cordila Group.
His grandfather fled from the East to this place during a turbulent era. Despite the objections of others, the stubborn old man gave him a name that sounded somewhat dated even in the East.
With an ordinary appearance, average academic performance, and average interpersonal relationships, he resonated with an ordinary spiritual weapon after Cordila Group. Yet, around the age of twenty-seven or twenty-eight, he became the strongest fighter in the Cordila Group in terms of sheer combat power.
He is suspected to be a legendary S-class spirit envoy. Even most people in the Federation, no matter how xenophobic, have to admit that his combat strength is terrifying. His title of Demon King is known throughout the world. Of course, he also has another identity: the expert image Annihilation.
No one could match him with the image of a peerless master. He lacked imposing presence, his eyes weren't sharp enough, he wasn't tall enough, his build was neither fat nor thin, his words weren't domineering at all, his face was completely unremarkable, and he even had to squat in the toilet!
Everyone who knows his identity will doubt whether this is really the invincible Demon King with unfathomable strength. His image is completely inconsistent with his identity.
Even his aura gave him an ordinary impression. He was covered in plain armor, and if it weren't for the aura shimmering on it, most people would probably think it was some guy's low-budget cosplay prop.
Lu Li emerged from the black mist, looking at the unremarkable fellow opposite him without the slightest hint of disdain. Leaving aside the fact that Lu Li no longer harbored any negative emotions related to contempt or Pride, the mere fact that the other party posed a strong threat to his life was enough to prove that his title as the Demon King was well-deserved.
"A month ago, many powerful individuals appeared all over the world. Whether they were strange beings or spirit envoys, they all appeared out of nowhere. You were one of those who appeared out of nowhere, weren't you? Although you were a month behind them."
Wu Jianguo's words made Lu Li narrow his eyes. It seemed that other players or residents of Fairy Tale Town had arrived, but Lu Li didn't pay much attention. This instance mission was a single-player arena mode, which meant that under normal circumstances, everyone's positions would not be related.
"What is your purpose? Simply to help the Spirit of Nature?" Wu Jianguo asked with doubt. With his combat skills, although he was somewhat ostracized because of his race, he was still considered one of the high-ranking members of the Cordila Group and could know information that many people did not.
For example, why do anomalies occur? For example, the spirits of nature? Humans know more than they imagine. The Federation... no, humanity is very complex. Wu Jianguo even suspects that humanity could have destroyed the spirits of nature long ago. It is only because of resources such as spirit weapons and anomalies, and the interference between various countries, that the spirits of nature have continued to exist, barely maintaining a balance on the surface.
Now, the spirits of nature seem to have found a way to turn the tide, with many powerful and strange creatures appearing inexplicably. Wu Jianguo felt it was necessary to investigate.
"I'm sorry, I don't know much either." Lu Li smiled. Having shed the seven deadly sins, his smile was exceptionally pure, making him instantly likable.
"Well, in that case, let's fight. This forest is a crucial part of the company's plan, so no matter what, we must fight for a victory to determine who owns it." Wu Jianguo nodded, not pressing for further questions. A simple broadsword appeared in his hand, and he finally exuded a bit of imposing presence.
