Star Calamity (IV)
After devouring half of the prospective hero's brain, the killing machine pulled a spike from its back and stabbed it directly into the hero's body. Although the killing machine had no eyes, when its head swept towards the person, the person only felt a chill run through their body, as if being stared at by some terrifying monster.
The killing machine didn't act immediately. It stood on the corpse of the prospective hero, quietly waiting for something. But Zeng Yunge was already furious. She flew down from the sky and threw a punch.
Zhang Yanqige's Ability Synchronization was still in effect. Guan Hongge had swelled into a muscular giant, continued to provide Zeng Yunge with Strength Amplification. White mist billowed, and under the powerful force, it condensed into a pitch-black fist, which slammed towards the killing weapon.
The fist passed through the afterimage; the monster's speed was simply too fast. After dodging the attack, its body trembled and suddenly swelled up to two meters tall. With a wave of its hand, a terrifying impact force was launched from its hand, knocking away a prospective hero in the distance.
"That's! That's Kedo's Invisible Impact force!!" one of the heroes cried out in fear. The shock force used by the killing weapon was the same ability of the prospective hero whose head had been bitten off by it earlier.
"Could it be that monster gains the abilities of whoever it eats?" some heroes said in disbelief, then suddenly raised their hands, activated the equipment on their bodies, and fired energy cannons at the monster.
The other heroes also began to use their abilities to besiege this killing weapon, but the monster was too fast and agile, constantly dodging bullets and occasionally waving its hand to launch attacks that sent people flying.
The towering dust giant seized the opportunity and swung its hand down. Suddenly, another force struck the dust hand, causing it to deflect slightly. The killing weapon took advantage of the moment, leaping onto the giant hand and then quickly climbing up.
Only then did they realize that Kedo, whose head had been half-eaten, had stood up again. The spike stuck in his body fell limply to the ground, and the wound he had created healed rapidly, but black liquid could be seen flowing inside.
Kedo's mutilated head began to ooze black liquid, and with a roar, it charged towards Zeng Yunge was not far away.
The killing weapon crawled on the dust giant's body, and seemingly having identified a spot, it opened its mouth, its highly elastic tongue shooting out and piercing through the dust giant's neck.
A mass of flesh and blood was drawn back by the tongue full of sharp teeth, then retracted into the mouth. The dust giant began to dissipate little by little, drifting towards the killing machine. The Dust Messenger's body fell into the dust, a large hole torn open in his chest, his heart gone.
Each time the Dust Messenger condenses a dust giant, its location is different, but this killing weapon can easily determine the location of its true form and rip out its heart.
The killing weapon trembled again, its form halting as various energy projectiles and attacks flew towards it, slamming into the monster. Hit by these attacks, the monster's body trembled like a tattered rag, and cracks appeared on its exoskeleton.
However, to everyone's dismay, the exoskeletons seemed to shed their skin and crumble like dust, and the monster inside swelled up to three meters tall once more. Its purplish-red skin instantly hardened and turned into a purplish-black exoskeleton.
Dust swirled around the monster, then was gradually absorbed into its exoskeleton. The newly formed exoskeleton turned a shiny, blackish-gray, and emitted a hissing sound, as if mocking everyone.
Then the monster pounced on another person with even greater speed, but the next moment, several crows blocked its way. The monster was not picky about its prey; its tongue shot out like a cannonball, hitting a crow, dragging it back to its beak, and biting it, only to find that the entire crow had turned into a feather.
The monster bit a feather and then spat it out. These Lu Li didn't even have cells, let alone genes. It rushed over and scattered the crows. Then, a blade of light descended from the sky and slashed at its body, leaving a long gash on its exoskeleton.
Shimada Ikka shouted repeatedly, increasing his momentum, gripping the hilt of his sword with both hands, and wielding the Blade of Light to slash continuously at the killing weapon.
"Those with poor combat awareness and slow speed, all of you, retreat!" Zeng Yunge ordered angrily. Two people had died in the blink of an eye. Although many people wanted to join the Gale Society, this was still a blow to their reputation. Heroes were supposed to be a profession that protected the people, but if they couldn't even protect their own heroes, how could they protect the more vulnerable ordinary people?
"Get out of my way!" Zeng Yunge roared, his mechanical arm armor activating as he threw a punch. Hundreds of white wisps of energy shot out, passing by Shimada Ikka and striking the monster directly. The immense force caused the monster's exoskeleton to shatter again, revealing the purplish-red flesh beneath.
Zeng Yunge walked toward the killing weapon with a gloomy expression. Not far from him, Kedo, who had been charging toward him, had been turned into a pile of minced meat. Just now, when he charged toward Zeng Yunge, he unleashed an unprecedented Invisible Impact, which slightly slowed Zeng Yunge's steps. Otherwise, that monster might not have been able to kill the Dust Messenger.
"Ha!" Zeng Yunge swung his fist, and the white mist fist carrying terrifying power rushed directly towards the monster. However, the next moment, some monsters with snake-tailed insect features flapped their wings and blocked in front of the white mist fist, and were punched into blood mist.
The white fist pierced through the blood mist and struck the monster directly. The monster's body disintegrated, with black fluid and exoskeleton flying everywhere. Then, a smaller killing weapon rushed out and pounced on another person at an even faster speed.
Countless data flashed through the tactical goggles in front of the man, but he only had time to activate one Arc Light before he saw a hand be shot off by the tongue and then swallowed by the monster in a few bites.
Mori's body appeared at the other end of the Arc Light, clutching his severed arm, letting out a painful howl, enduring the pain as he activated the Arc Light again and disappeared from the spot.
A black Arc Light flashed past. The already incredibly fast killing weapon became even faster after acquiring Mori's Arc Light ability, and quickly caught up with a retreating reserve hero.
Emerging from the black Arc Light, the monster opened its massive maw and bit off half of the prospective hero's head again. However, the monster's mouth immediately melted away, and disgusting yellowish-green liquid dripped continuously.
This prospective hero's ability is acidic blood; his blood can even melt special metals on spacecraft. However, the monster seems to feel no pain, pulling out the spikes from its back to penetrate this person's body.
Suddenly, a loud roar came from behind, "Take this from the Dragon God's Sword's Sword!"
The next moment, a dragon's roar resounded through the sky.
