Chapter 78

"Blood sacrifice?"

Rosen watched the familiar scene and realized that these ratmen leaders were performing a blood sacrifice to summon the ratmen progenitor.

He was now completely certain that the Gray Rat Man progenitor had come for him, and that he had used methods such as prophecy.

He had previously hidden in a mysterious study, thus cutting himself off from the prophetic abilities of the Gray Rat Man progenitor.

Now that the Nightmare Slime has been deliberately released, it has unsurprisingly attracted the attention of the Gray Rat Progenitor.

Before the blood sacrifice was over, Rosen commanded the Nightmare Slime to use Divine Split to create several clones.

These clones slithered in the shadows, silently pouncing on the Sequence 7 Gray Rat Leaders.

As soon as all the clones got close, they immediately turned into Nightmare Marks and landed on the leader of the Gray Ratmen.

Even if Nightmare Slime were to dispel Shadow Cloak, the leaders of these gray ratmen would still ignore it.

The Nightmare Slime lay directly on the head of a Gray Ratman leader, blankly awaiting the arrival of the Gray Ratman progenitor.

Moments later, the blood sacrifice was completed, and the divinity of the progenitor of the gray ratmen descended into the body of a gray ratman leader.

Before the Gray Rat Ancestor descended, he already knew what had happened. After he arrived, he immediately looked around with shining eyes, but after looking for a long time, he still couldn't find any trace of the human. Finally, he gritted his teeth and his eyes shone with seven-colored light.

This permanently consumes divinity to enhance perception, thereby raising perception from sequence 7 to sequence 6.

However, they still couldn't find it, so the Gray Rat Man progenitor had to raise his perception to Sequence 5.

Only at this moment did the progenitor of the gray ratmen see the nightmare slime.

Seeing that it was just the human's pet, the Gray Rat Ancestor became enraged and pounced on the Nightmare Slime.

The discovered Nightmare Slime fled in panic, using Shadow Cloak to teleport in the shadows to a spot slightly behind the window of the mysterious study.

The progenitor of the gray ratmen swerved in mid-air and continued to pounce on the nightmare slime. However, just as its claws were less than ten centimeters away from the nightmare slime, nine bullets that appeared out of nowhere struck the progenitor of the gray ratmen right at its face.

Its two front paws were broken, both eyes were blinded, and even its tongue and throat were smashed.

Faced with the severely injured Gray Ratman Progenitor, Nightmare Slime stepped forward, created a clone, and marked the Gray Ratman Progenitor with the Nightmare Mark. Then, it pounced on the Gray Ratman Progenitor and began to suck the blood from its wounds.

Not only that, a nightmare chain also emerged from the void, binding and entwining the Gray Ratman progenitor to his face.

Finally, fearing that the Gray Ratman Progenitor might break free, Rosen used his extraordinary five senses to deprive the Gray Ratman Progenitor of his sense of touch.

Even the powerful Gray Ratman Progenitor, in his Divine Descent Sequence 7 state, was completely stunned by this close-range, overwhelming attack.

The progenitor of the gray ratmen was temporarily unable to break free of the Nightmare Chains, but the other gray ratmen leaders present finally realized what was happening. However, since they could not see the Nightmare Slime, they could only use their supernatural abilities to strike empty air.

Even if it is hit occasionally, the Nightmare Slime can withstand it with its spiritual energy.

In the end, it was the Gray Ratman Progenitor who couldn't withstand it and was swallowed whole by the Nightmare Slime.

Rosen ordered Nightmare Slime to return to the Mysterious Study through the window, then activated the Godslayer Crossbow in its crossbow form and began shooting down the Gray Rat Leader outside.

These gray rat leaders are at least Sequence 7, so Rosen might have a chance in a one-on-one fight.

In a one-on-two situation, Rosen's chances of winning would be very low. But at this moment, Rosen used his God-Slaying Crossbow to kill eleven Gray Rat Leaders. No matter how much the Gray Rat Leaders jumped around and used all their tricks, they were all severely wounded and shot to death one by one by the unpredictable crossbow bolts. In the end, they all died outside the window, and none of them escaped.

Rosen's great victory this time was mainly due to the hidden capabilities of the Mysterious Study.

Otherwise, the progenitor of the gray ratmen wouldn't have chased the nightmare slime so close to the window without realizing the danger.

As a result, he was ambushed at close range by the God-Slaying Crossbow and was severely injured on the spot by a nine-shot barrage that was loaded with Death Strike and Storm Pursuit.

Even so, the Gray Rat Man progenitor only suffered superficial injuries.

If they really wanted to escape, there was no way he could stop them.

Simply relying on the Nightmare Chains is not enough to restrain the Gray Ratman Progenitor who can freely torture and kill Sequence 7 beings.

However, the progenitor of the gray ratman underestimated the Nightmare Slime. Faced with the Nightmare Slime's devouring, he chose to feign weakness and pretend he couldn't break free. His purpose was simply to find out that Rosen was hiding in another dimension, so he tried to follow the Nightmare Slime into that dimension to launch a counterattack.

As a result, the plan of the progenitor of the gray ratmen to feign weakness and fight back against the gluttonous Nightmare Slime turned into a joke.

The remaining Gray Rat leaders were in the same boat. Because of the Nightmare Mark, they couldn't sense the crossbow bolts fired by the Godslayer Crossbow. And because the Gray Rat progenitor was oblivious to their own mortality and dared not escape, they were all shot to death one by one.

Rosen didn't even have time to pay attention to the scavenging orbs of light, and went straight to the side of the tormented nightmare slime.

At this moment, the Nightmare Slime's body continued to expand, and the screams of the Gray Ratman Ancestor could be heard from its belly from time to time. It was clear that although the Gluttony-enhanced digestive system could trap the Gray Ratman Ancestor, the backlash it was enduring was not light.

Rosen could only feed the Gluttonous Beast spiritual crystals, which were then converted into spiritual energy and transferred to the Nightmare Slime.

With a constant supply of life force, the Nightmare Slime's condition gradually stabilized.

If he really couldn't keep them trapped, he would have no choice but to reluctantly throw them out of the mysterious study.

For the next two weeks, Rosen barely slept more than a few hours.

The rest of the time was spent outsmarting and outmaneuvering the trapped and desperate Gray Rat Man progenitor.

Initially, sensing that the flesh and skin of the Gray Ratman Progenitor inside the Nightmare Slime's belly had been digested and the remaining bones had stopped struggling, he thought the Gray Ratman Progenitor was about to die, so he planned to release the half-dead Gray Ratman Progenitor to shoot him.

As soon as the Nightmare Slime opened its mouth, the Gray Ratman Ancestor, who had been feigning death, almost escaped.

If Rosen hadn't been so careful as to make the Nightmare Slime open its mouth against the wall, resulting in the Gray Ratman Ancestor crashing its head into the wall of the Mysterious Study and shattering its skull, it might have actually been able to escape.

After this incident, Rosen learned his lesson and waited a few more days until the bones and internal organs of the Gray Rat Man ancestor were digested.

Even so, the Nightmare Slime didn't open its mouth, because Rosen remembered that when the progenitor of the Gray Ratman was killed in Spiral Harbor, he had a bit of spirituality that allowed him to possess and parasitize a human's extraordinary sequence to survive. For such beings, losing their physical body wouldn't be considered a fatal injury.

To put it bluntly, what was digested by the Nightmare Slime was merely the body of the Gray Ratman leader, which had been significantly strengthened.

So Rosen waited a full half month until the Gray Rat Man progenitor was digested down to only his divinity.

Rosen then cautiously grabbed the mouse from the main computer and shoved it directly into the Nightmare Slime's mouth. Sure enough, even at this point, the Gray Ratman Ancestor could still resist, but the mouse had already begun to continuously drain its divinity.

After drawing the mouse for a full half hour without any further results, Rosen finally took out the mouse to wait for the outcome.

Two days later, Lawson finally saw a seven-colored orb of light in the scavenging space.
