Chapter 182 – The Ink Beast Appears Again (2/2)
Since he didn’t know if this opponent was the real deal or a fake, Dr. Tony waved his claws to have Rhinoceros test the waters. Despite his hesitation, Rhinoceros still took a few steps forward.
When Rhinoceros got close to the Ink Beast, he only saw it pounce at him before he was knocked to the ground. A snarling jaw then went straight for Rhinoceros’s throat and a “crack” sound was heard. Blood then started spraying out everywhere from Rhinoceros’s neck. The Ink Beast then licked its blood drenched lips and said: “It’s been awhile since I’ve enjoyed such delicious food!”
“My God!” Dr. Tony was completely and utterly shocked. This was an Ultimate Rank Mutant whose defense had reached unimaginably high level, yet this monster with just a pounce and a bite was able to end Rhinoceros’s life in such a quick fashion. Terrifying, it was too terrifying!
With the Spiritual Bead of Longevity leaving Lei Yu’s body, this was similar to the Ink Beast shedding off its shackles. Absorbing Lei Yu’s internal energy had allowed him to restore a portion of its previous power. Even though it was just starting to regain its power and far from its peak, killing an expert of the Sixth Order was no different than playing around, it was similar to how a predator played with its meal.
It was fortunate for Lei Yu that when he met the Ink Beast, it was at its weakest moment. Or else, how could Lei Yu who was at the strength of a Second Order be its opponent?
“It’s your turn now!” The Ink Beast’s single eye stared at Dr. Tony with disdain.
“No! You… you… what exactly are you?”
“I have no interest in talking with a soon to be dead creature, nor do I feel like explaining myself to you. You are also not qualified to know! If you had let Lei Yu leave earlier on, perhaps I would have considered letting you go as well. But ever since you, a puny human existence transformed into a beast, you’ve become too vicious. If you had actually killed Lei Yu, then my chances at resurrection would have ended... therefore you must die!” The Ink Beast knew that it couldn’t stay around in the physical world for too long, he may only had a few minutes left. In this short period of time, he had to help Lei Yu leave this dangerous situation. It was fine before when Lei Yu still had the Spiritual Bead of Longevity but now since it was gone, there would be no more resurrections if he died. It would still be more cost-effective for the Ink Beast to lose all of its power and start again than dying with Lei Yu.
Dr. Tony knew the inevitable was coming so he suddenly jumped backwards and shouted: “Do it now!”
From all over, a dense stream of creatures belonging to various species started pouring out and surrounding the Ink Beast. One could say this room was packed with creatures as they began frantically pouncing on and biting the Ink Beast. But no matter how these creatures bit and scratched, they weren’t able to penetrate the fur of the Ink Beast.
“Roar!” The Ink Beast angrily roared before swiping out with its front paw and using its tail to sweep them out from behind. These creatures were either killed on the spot or they were still twitching after being split into two; the scene was too horrific to look at.
In just two minutes, the creatures that rushed out were all killed by the Ink Beast’s attack. It was if a tyrannical wave had swept through them leaving behind their corpses that could be piled up into a small mountain.
The Ink Beast slowly climbed out from under a layer of bodies before it stared at the crocodile Tony who had gone slightly bonkers with a terrifying gaze. “Are there anymore? These were only enough for one meal!” While speaking, its jaws bit onto a corpse and raised his head before swallowing the entire body in one gulp, then licking its lips.
“Run!” This was the only idea Dr. Tony could think of but it was already too late.
“Roar!” The Ink Beast roared again. Similar to a ghost, it suddenly disappeared and instantly reappeared in front of Dr. Tony. “Didn’t you just want to rip Lei Yu into pieces? I think that type of ending is more appropriate for your body instead!” The Ink Beast could feel its energy was slowly being depleted, so it looked like it would have to quickly take care of this crocodile before him.
“Spare me! Don’t kill me!”
The Ink Beast didn’t bother with these nonsensical cries for mercy. His claws tore, his jaws bit and the crocodile was no longer a crocodile. Dr. Tony had been completely ripped and torn into small pieces; his corpse littered the floor where no one could make out which part was which.
The Ink Beast’s body began to slowly blur, and then turned into a black light before rapidly flying into Lei Yu’s head. It had once again disappeared as fast as it came out.
