"Level 3 mutant."
Standing on Leo's shoulder, Yaoyao could see the whole situation and remind Leo when Leo was focused on killing.
" Body Refinement Wizard, Second Layer Thunderstorm Giant Bloodline, Activated!"
The Hunter instantly swelled to over eleven meters tall, as tall as a four-story building. The giant sword in its hand, which appeared to have been obtained from some trophy, a wizard's ring, stretched to a terrifying ten meters in length, with the width of the blade alone exceeding two meters.
With a single, sweeping slash, the buildings along the entire street were cleaved in two, and countless mutants were torn apart by the sword's energy.
With a sudden downward slash, the sword energy transformed into a long dragon, flattening all the mutants along the street. But immediately, even more mutants filled the entire street.
They had already seen the level three mutant; he was the only one who hadn't been torn apart by Leo's sword energy. The Thunderstorm Giant murmured...
" Thunder Conversion Great Sorcery!"
All the magical power in the body was converted into electric current, which flowed rapidly with the blood. The electricity generated magnetism, creating a strong magnetic field in the abdomen that enveloped the stomach.
With nuclear materials in its stomach, the Thunderstorm Giant calculated the nuclear fission formula at top speed.
The Level 3 mutant didn't give Leo enough time to prepare his magic. Instead, it suddenly launched itself from the mutant army to the head of the Thunderstorm Giant and launched a fierce attack on the Thunderstorm Giant's eyes.
The Thunderstorm Giant ducked to avoid the attack, and with its giant sword swatting at a fly, it sent the Level 3 mutant flying over a thousand meters away with a deafening boom.
The shockwave from the attack sent dozens of Level 1 mutants flying, shattering countless bones from their bodies. It also blasted a building, leaving a huge dent, just like a missile strike.
Such an attack was not enough to harm the Level 3 mutant. In just a few breaths, the Level 3 mutant was once again in front of the Thunderstorm Giant's head.
At that moment, the Thunderstorm Giant didn't dodge; instead, it opened its massive maw.
" Atomic Breath "
A powerful beam of energy instantly enveloped the Level 3 mutant, and the violent energy relentlessly attacked his body, vaporizing him completely.
"These mutants' strength doesn't even meet the minimum standard for their level; their strength is more like that of a pseudo-level."
Seeing Leo instantly kill the level three mutant, Yaoyao had already discerned the strength of these mutants.
They appear to be at level one, but they don't actually possess level one strength. They are merely somewhere between apprentice and level one, and "pseudo-level one" would be a more fitting description of their strength.
The same applies to those at level two; their strength is only that of a pseudo-level two.
It's the same as Level 3, a pseudo-Level 3. Otherwise, Leo wouldn't have been able to kill this Level 3 mutant so easily.
Leo is not currently at his peak, when he can unleash an attack power of over 15,000. At this moment, his attack power is only 65% of his peak, just barely breaking 10,000.
The fact that such weakened attack power could still instantly kill a level 3 mutant indicates that the mutant's strength was far below level 3.
"We'll explore more thoroughly after we break through."
Level 3 mutants are extremely rare in this city; Leo has only just discovered one.
After killing the Level 3 mutant, Leo immediately deactivated the Thunderstorm Giant and reverted to Hunter Form.
Although unleashing Bloodline True Body does not require magical power, it does consume physical strength. Prolonged battles would inevitably lead to a significant reduction in physical strength, so Leo dared not fully unleash his Bloodline and could only maintain a low-intensity Hunter combat style.
In battles against these three-meter-tall mutants, four-meter-tall Hunter are the best choice, at least they don't have to fight while bending over, which would be more physically demanding.
"Hold on, just fifteen more streets and we'll be outside the city."
Shadow Walking
Leo was on a killing spree, suddenly disappeared and reappeared on a rooftop 6,400 meters away.
Shadow Walking
"Boom"
This time, Leo failed and was instead blasted away by a punch.
"Did you see how the shadow disappeared?"
The Hunter cleaved the level-two mutant in two with a single sword strike and asked Yaoyao why her Shadow Walking had failed.
This was the first time in his life that he had been pulled out of his Shadow Walking state by life.
If it weren't for the failure of his Shadow Walking, he would have escaped using this method long ago.
"A powerful force discovered your whereabouts and forced you out of the shadows." As expected of a being from the Shadow World, Yaoyao saw through the problem immediately.
Is it that tree?
"I'm not entirely sure, but he's probably the only one in the entire Homo Sapiens World with that kind of power," Yaoyao said.
"Then I'll try again, so you can see clearly."
"Good."
Shadow Walking
The Hunter's figure disappeared once again from the mutants' encirclement.
Before the Hunter could emerge from 6,400 meters away, a fierce attack once again forced Leo out of the shadows.
"It was him. I saw a shadow of a tree; he dispersed the shadow, leaving you with nowhere to stand."
Yaoyao cried out, for if he hadn't looked closely, he wouldn't have seen the fleeting attack.
Leo released all his senses, but he couldn't detect the tree shadow Yaoyao mentioned at all. This situation clearly indicated that he was being watched by that big tree.
"Go and take a look in the Shadow World, see if you can find anything."
"Good."
Yaoyao vanished in an instant, leaving Leo to continue wielding his greatsword alone, slaughtering the endless mutated creatures with a sword-wheel technique.
" In the Shadow World, you can see that each of these mutants has a branch connected to that large tree; it is that tree that controls these mutants."
The news Yaoyao brought back weighed heavily on Leo's mind. It turned out that all the energy of these mutants was provided by that big tree, which explained why they didn't need to absorb energy from the outside world.
All Homo sapiens in the entire Homo Sapiens World are puppets, puppets of that big tree. They could be countless Homo sapiens, or they could be just one.
You could even say that the Homo Sapiens World is that big tree!
This will make many things clear.
Thinking of this, Leo felt sorry for those wizards. If they hadn't seen through this, many wizards wouldn't have survived to the point of being rescued by the Wizard World.
If even Leo's method of transforming into a Homo sapiens didn't work, how many wizards could completely deceive that giant tree?
"I don't believe that giant tree lacks the ability to constantly monitor the entire world; otherwise, it wouldn't have sent the Earth Pulse Stigmata Wizard to Mount Sayeda to sign the contract."
"That big tree must have some kind of limitation, otherwise it could have wiped us out the moment we arrived." Yaoyao was also racking her brains to figure out how they could survive this failed escape.
"Go to the Shadow World and observe the tree's attacks. If it tries to attack me, notify me immediately."
Leo wasn't afraid of the big tree pulling him Shadow Walking; he was afraid the tree would attack him.
Once he attacks, no matter how high Leo's defense is, he will absolutely be no match for this Earth Pulse Stigmata Wizard.
Currently, only Yaoyao can find his trail through the Shadow World, Leo must make good use of this to ensure that he can successfully break through the encirclement.
Yaoyao left, returning to the Shadow World to observe the attack situation for Leo.
Leo continued his relentless attacks and slaughters outside the city. Any mutants that stood in his way were turned into mincemeat by a shredder, and corpses were everywhere.
Despite enduring countless attacks, Leo remained completely unfazed, letting them hit him as they pleased, acknowledging defeat if he cried out in pain. Unfortunately, so far, no one had managed to break through Leo's defenses.
Leo could focus solely on the army of mutants in front of him, ignoring the mutants in other directions.
Thanks to the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard's Stone of Indestructibility Defense System, Leo was able to advance steadily amidst the encirclement of millions of mutants.
"Watch out, he's about to attack."
Hearing Yaoyao's anxious shouts, Leo shifted his feet and moved away from where he had just been standing at top speed.
"Boom"
In that short time it took to pass each other, the spot where Leo had just been standing was now riddled with a bottomless crater.
As for what kind of attack it was, Leo couldn't see it at all; the speed of the attack was beyond Leo's perception.
"It's a thin twig that extended from the main body of that big tree," Yaoyao explained to Leo.
"Here it comes again, this time it's two tree branches!" Yaoyao shouted.
Perhaps they realized that one branch wasn't enough to kill Leo, so this time it was two!
Leo twisted his body urgently, dodging the frontal attack, but the hurricane generated by the two attacks scraped against Leo body like sharp knives.
The defense, which no mutant could break through, was shattered by the wind generated by the aftershock of this attack.
The shadow inside his body instantly absorbed half of the remaining damage from the defense, startling Leo. Fortunately, he did not suffer any real harm.
"You can't dodge the three paths."
This time, Yaoyao's voice came too late; Leo sensed the attack just as he uttered the cry.
Leo's body instinctively tried to dodge, but he only had time to turn slightly before a whip-like attack struck Leo directly in the chest.
"Boom"
Leo felt an irresistible force lashing at him, sending his entire body flying like a spinning top on ice.
The damage from the shadow within his body was instantly absorbed, and a second shadow appeared.
Leo let out a series of painful groans from his throat; the blows had almost shattered his body.
The Hunter's form could not be maintained, and it was directly forced back into its human form on Earth.
It crashed through countless mutants, smashing through three buildings before finally coming to a stop. The giant sword in its hand had vanished, leaving only the Godslaying Staff tightly clutched in its grasp.
"It's too late, let's go."
Yaoyao appeared on Leo's shoulder, and without giving Leo any explanation, grabbed Leo ear and ran into the Shadow World.
The moment Leo was pulled away by Yaoyao, the building he had just been leaning against was instantly smashed, and a sinkhole with a diameter of more than ten meters appeared on the ground.
If Leo hadn't been pulled away by Yaoyao, this move would have sent Leo straight to death.
