He quickly went down from the rooftop, and after going down several floors, he jumped from a broken window sill of one of the houses onto another building next door.

The sudden 'coming to life' of these monitor lizard carcasses is most likely related to the enormous, mournful creature he had just encountered.

The other party's ability is very likely to control the dead.

He Ao had only ever seen this kind of 'necromancy' in novels and on TV before; this was the first time he had encountered it in real life.

When faced with the unknown, the first thing to do is to avoid its sharp edge, observe it, and gather enough information.

He Ao roughly estimated the direction the wailing monster had left in, then quickly moved forward with his back to that direction.

Without rocket launchers and ammunition boxes, his body was much lighter. After dodging and jumping between buildings several times, he finally landed on the ground.

The black monitor lizards did not pursue them.

He Ao breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked around. Most of the streets in the ruins looked similar. In the pitch-black night with extremely low visibility, he couldn't tell whether he had been to this street before.

After walking a few steps, he noticed some dilapidated buildings around him, with mutilated giant lizard carcasses lying at the bottom of these buildings.

Unlike the monitor lizards that had just chased Heo, these monitor lizards lay motionless beneath the building, as if they were truly 'dead'.

The scene before him seemed somewhat familiar, and He Ao frowned.

He stopped going forward, compared his vague memory with his own, and turned left.

But he stopped after taking only a few steps.

In the darkest of nights, a vast, seemingly endless 'black plain' appeared before him.

He Ao squatted down and picked up a handful of humus soil from under his feet.

Then a brief silence fell.

It was as if he had returned to that huge black earth square.

And just as he bent down to examine the soil.

A huge, enormous object, floating in the air, slowly hovered above his head.

Countless crimson 'flames' watched the youth below, flickering in the pitch-black night.

woo-

It was as if the mournful cries of the dead echoed in Heo's ears.

Above my head!

Without hesitation, he rolled to the left, reaching for his waist and pulling out a pistol, firing a shot at the spot above his head.

The bullet pierced the silent night, passed by the scarlet 'flame,' and flew into the air.

Only then did He Ao realize what had been above his head.

It was a slender, enormous creature resembling an octopus, floating in the night like a fish on water, without any support.

Its tentacles were long and thin, clustered together under a round head. In the darkness, He Ao couldn't even see the ends of these tentacles.

Surrounded by these tentacles, the head, which appeared as a spherical shape in the darkness, had crimson flames flickering in the night.

No, that wasn't 'flame,' but rather its eyes radiating a scarlet light.

Its spherical head was covered with countless scarlet eyes that glowed in the darkness.

These eyes stared at He Ao in the darkness, each one seemingly carrying a sorrowful emotion. These emotions surged into He Ao's mind the moment he looked at them.

In a fleeting moment, He Ao felt as if countless spirits were weeping in his mind, and countless sorrows and despairs flooded into his soul.

These intense emotions attempted to suppress his own thoughts and will, leading him to eternal oblivion.

He Ao raised his head, looked at the huge monster, and fired another shot.

The scorching bullet pierced the dark skin between those scarlet eyes, then seemed to encounter something hard and was bounced off.

The other party is a physical entity.

He Ao breathed a sigh of relief.

If the opponent is truly a spirit creature immune to physical attacks, then he'll be completely stumped.

It seems the situation isn't too bad right now.

woo-

Painful cries echoed around them once again.

The giant octopus floating in the air seemed somewhat surprised that He Ao was immune to its mental abilities. As the mournful cry rang out, a series of rustling sounds emerged from the darkness.

One after another, huge, jet-black lizards scurried out of the abandoned building next door.

At the same time, long tentacles emerged from the darkness and attacked Heo.

This guy has the ability to control the dead.

He frowned and looked at the eyes in the air, each filled with a variety of emotions.

Then he suddenly drew a fine steel short sword from his back.

As he walked along, he saw more than a dozen lizard carcasses in his field of vision. Adding those he might not have seen, the number of lizard carcasses around him was definitely terrifying.

These dead lizards are not afraid of pain, and bullets cannot disable their mobility. If a few surround them, Heo may be able to kill them and break through, but if there are too many of them and he gets bogged down, the situation will be different.

His advantage lies in his burst damage in a short period of time. Once he gets into a war of attrition, he will only get weaker and weaker and eventually be worn down and killed.

If you choose to escape

Judging from the density of the giant lizard corpses around him when he arrived, he would most likely be held back by a continuous stream of undead lizards before he even left the area.

Since that's the case, let's take down the octopus that's controlling these corpses first.

Catch the thief first to catch the king.

In fact, one-on-one is currently He Ao's most advantageous situation.

Because no matter whether He Ao fights or flees, the octopus monster in front of him will participate in the battle with He Ao.

The only difference is that if He Ao tries to escape, the octopus and the lizards will follow him and attack him together, but if he goes straight in and charges at them, before the lizards gather, He Ao will only have to face the octopus monster.

Retreat means certain death; advance offers a glimmer of hope.

All thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant. He put away his pistol and raised the submachine gun in front of his chest.

He held a sword in one hand and a gun in the other.

Hyper memory, activate!

At this moment.

He Ao's physical fitness level skyrocketed from 201 to 338.

woo-

With a mournful cry, the terrifying mental pressure from the octopus monster acted on He Ao. After close contact and activating his super memory to start calculating the model, He Ao roughly figured out the strength of the monster in front of him.

He is much stronger than Pena, but he doesn't have an invincible sense of pressure. He should be considered a relatively strong existence in the C-class, but not quite B-class.

After all, each level of advancement brings a drastic increase in strength, and the gap between the monster in front of them and Pena has not yet reached the level of a major difference.

Although the monster in front of them was stronger than Pena.

However, Heo's true form is still stronger than Joey, who is only an 'assassin'.

It's not impossible to fight.

He raised his gun, aimed it at the octopus, and pressed the trigger. Bullets rained down on the octopus monster's crimson eyes in the sky.

Generally speaking, the eyes are one of the most vulnerable parts of a living organism.

While firing at the octopus monster's eyes, He Ao gripped his steel short sword with his other hand, facing the incoming tentacles.

scandium--

With a soft sound, the tentacle closest to He Ao was knocked away, and a gash was cut open on the dark flesh of the tentacle, revealing purple blood and... pure white bone.

He Ao looked at his steel short sword, which had been dented by the white bone.

Bones grow inside its tentacles, and they're such hard bones! This octopus really has no sense of martial ethics.

However, even this fine steel short sword seemed unable to withstand such an intense battle; with just one move, it developed a small nick.

This short sword is actually much better than ordinary swords, but it is ultimately a tool for killing people and dealing with ordinary wild animals.

Its designer probably never imagined that this sword would be used to fight against a C-class terrifying monster.

After repelling the tentacle, Heo found an opening and dodged the subsequent tentacle attacks.

He looked at the octopus's head, which was covered in scarlet eyes; his burst of bullets had had no effect.

The octopus's eyes were closed at the moment, with slight marks on its dark eyelids, as if it had just been hit.

The ground was littered with bullets that had been bounced off.

The octopus's eyelids look like a solid hemispherical dome, lacking the suppleness of flesh and blood, and instead resembling small pieces of bone.

Submachine gun bullets cannot penetrate the defenses of these eyelids.

As He Ao stared at those eyes, the tightly closed eyes suddenly opened and looked at He Ao.

In that instant, He Ao felt those sad and twisted feelings flood back into his mind, trying to erase all his emotions.

Although the octopus monster still failed to kill He Ao this time, it did briefly affect He Ao's movements, causing He Ao's body to stiffen for a moment.

The surging tentacles seized the opportunity and attacked instantly.

Meanwhile, the lizard at the front had already approached Heo. It leaped from behind, its enormous, rotten-smelling maw opening wide, ready to swallow Heo whole and chew him to pieces.

In that instant, He Ao suddenly crouched down, put down his submachine gun, and drew another short sword from his back.

The giant lizard flew over his head, and He Ao leaned back as the sharp blade of his sword sliced ​​through the black lizard's body, splattering foul-smelling blood onto He Ao's combat uniform.
