Chapter 968 - A Swift End (1/2)

Once the commoners were out, they couldn't help but notice the large hole near their houses.

”What the hell? When did that appear?”

”And what was that cry?

”Forget that. Why did our houses crack?”

There were many questions they had, and they didn't know if they were ever going to get any answers.

”Do you think we should check what's there?”

”Are you crazy? There's still some weird sounds coming from there.”

”Hang on! That's old Lu's shop!”

”Fuck, that's Old Lu lying there too!”

A few people went to the unconscious shopkeeper that was lying nearby. They check to see if he was alive first and finding him breathing, they took breaths of relief.

”What the hell is going on today in our city?”

”I know, right? First, the barrier and fight happens, and now this…”

Many were lost and didn't know what to do. They could only wait for the guards to appear, which they still hadn't.

”Why are the guards not out yet? They usually come with one of the elders, right?” someone wondered.

His question made everyone's curiosity peak, and they looked around, to not find any guard.

While the commoners were talking amongst themselves nervously, Lin Mu was checking to see what had happened to the humanoid mutant.

'The attack certainly should have killed him and yet… I can sense some vitality.' Lin Mu thought as he spread his spirit sense around.

The body of the humanoid mutant was broken apart into several fragments and pieces of flesh. Lin Mu looked around and found that the pieces that had landed in a puddle of the red and Grey liquid were still wiggling slightly.

Some of the larger ones were even absorbing the liquid and growing.

”It really is very resilient.” Lin Mu muttered.

~shua~

A flame ignited in Lin Mu's hand before he threw out several fireballs.

~poof~

The intense heat of the fire burned all that it touched and the pieces of the humanoid mutant were burned. One by one, more of the fragments were reduced to ashes until one final one was left.

Lin Mu didn't burn this thought. Instead, he picked it up and scooped up some of the red and Grey fluid into the box. Having put both inside it, he closed it and chanted a few words. His finger then moved on the box, drawing several runes on it.

About a minute later, he was done and the box shone with the glow of runes.
