Chapter 1461 - Battle in the Moonlight (2/2)
Hao Ren quickly hemmed and said, “Don’t just stand here, the Soulless Guards can only slow down the Malevolence, we need to deal with it ourselves. Hasse, show us what you have got and kick its butt!”
Hasse needed no reminder; he had noticed the powerlessness and limitations of the Soulless against the Malevolence. Hasse was ready. As Hao Ren and Lily lunged out at the enemy with their weapons respectively, Hasse focused his eyes and disappeared into thin air in the blink of an eye.
The next moment, Hasse reappeared at less than a hundred meters from the Malevolence. He raised his hand and threw out a powerful silver-white flame.
As Hao Ren said, the Soulless was powerful reinforcement, but they could not kill but slow down the Malevolence. In the Shadow Realm, the Malevolence was also a part of Vivian, the Soulless could never defeat the Malevolence.
That left outsiders like Hao Ren, Lily, and Hasse to stop the Malevolence.
Every Malevolence had a different form of power and fighting style. Hao Ren quickly analyzed the enemy as he attacked. The Malevolence always stayed a range around the light fall under the moon. It rarely ventured away. It might indicate that the Malevolence got her power from the crimson moon above. Secondly, her method of attack was mostly silent shrill, which could vibrate the air and damage energies. It not only rendered a long-range strike against her ineffective but also possessed a horribly destructive effect on physical objects. Even Lily and Hao Ren with their strong physique and Steel Membrane Shield respectively could not stay for long in the shrill. They had to keep a distance and use guerilla warfare. Thirdly, the Malevolence did not use a precise targeting attack, whether it was her silent shrill or directional shockwaves. It made her attacks less lethal compared with the other Malevolences. But it could spell trouble for a large group of enemies.
The more Hao Ren learned about this Malevolence, the more frustrated he got.
Two of the Malevolence’s three characteristics were nasty. They were causes for concern if Hao Ren wanted to launch an attack—short-range or long-range alike. That aside, the fact that the Malevolence staying near the light fall was also a problem. Moonlight had a mysterious connection with the Malevolence, allowing the Malevolence to disintegrate and reconstruct freely, almost like resurrection. Hao Ren had decapitated the Malevolence more than once using the Godslayer sword. He even destroyed half of her body with his psionic gun, but the moonlight had mitigated all these damages. The Malevolence was smashed at one time and then reappeared in the moonlight in the next second.
It made Hao Ren wonder what the Malevolence took to perform this resurrection and how long she could keep doing that.
Hasse flew up in the air while rapidly firing his bolts. He then teleported himself up to the Malevolence as she tried to block the bolts. Hasse drew his silver stiletto in an arc and cut the violent ‘Vivian’ into two.
The Malevolence shattered like glass and vanished in the moonlight. But the next second, her body reemerged and materialized under the crimson moon.
The negative energy concentration in the steppe rose once again.
“This will never end,” Hao Ren said, pulling away from the Malevolence. “What tactic did you use last time? Slowing her down?” he asked loudly.
“There is no other way,” Hasse replied loudly. “She has no weaknesses. She is unkillable!”
No, she is killable, Hao Ren said to himself. He had killed them before, more than one. He knew that the reason for not being able to destroy this Malevolence was because they had not enough firepower. Given enough time, Hao Ren would be able to finish this terrible creature off. He was not worried about whether he could kill the Malevolence, but whether he had enough time.
He looked at the border of the grasslands, where the horizon had begun to distort and blur. The edge of the earth seemed to be falling apart and shattering into pieces. The fragments fell in a swirling motion into a looming dark border, which was swallowing up the dimension.
The Shadowy Realm was about to collapse, but there were no signs that Vivian would rise. What was more worrying was that Hao Ren did not even sense her breath.
If Vivian still did not wake up when the Shadowy Realm collapsed, what would be the consequences if the Malevolence went to the real world?
Hao Ren could not imagine it for now. But even dumbo like Lily knew that it would not be looking good.
If that happened, perhaps it would significantly impact the already not-so-stable sandbox, and Raven 12345 would swear to high heaven.
The dimension in which the graveyard was located suddenly trembled violently. The tremor apparently had nothing to do with the fierce battle taking place.
