adventurers in the sewers

The second encounter between Louis and the demon bear is a long story, but in reality, to outsiders, the two simply passed each other by.

One is still standing, while the other has had its legs cut off; it's obvious who has the advantage.

But both Louis and the other two members of the sewer team knew very well that the corrupted monsters could not be judged by common sense. The injury to a leg might be nothing to them.

However, Louis did create the best opportunity for Dana and Nora to deal damage.

"Louis, tilt your head."

The necromancer's voice came from the treetops in the distance.

In the instant Louis subconsciously tilted his head, a bullet with a snow-white finger bone grazed his hair and struck the head of the demonic bear kneeling on the ground with perfect accuracy.

bang——

Remy's twisted head was blasted off in half, and even one of his strange goat horns was blown off.

The demonic bear's body trembled, and like a computer that had crashed and gone black, it suddenly stopped all movement.

The high-precision sniping of the Bone Rifle is virtually guaranteed to result in headshots every time, proving its effectiveness time and again.

Louis had initially worried that Nora's marksmanship would decline after losing her "aiming eye," but to his surprise, it remained excellent.

"Louis, get out of the way!"

At that moment, Dai Na's voice rang out from not far away.

Without hesitation, Louis darted to the side like a rabbit, only glancing back after running five meters away from the demonized bear.

Then the blue-haired girl raised her long sword high, the blade of which resembled a red-hot iron pillar, radiating a dazzling red light like the sun.

"Magic! Unleash!"

The girl let out a low growl and brought her longsword down heavily!

A burst of red light erupted from the sword, transforming into a fiery red pillar of light one meter in diameter, which slammed heavily into the demonized bear.

The stench of charred fur and flesh filled the entire venue, while crackling sounds from evaporating moisture continued to erupt.

Half of the demonic bear's body quickly burst into flames, which then spread to areas not affected by the beam of light.

"That's spectacular."

Looking at the flames that stretched for dozens of meters, Louis couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.

This was the first time Louis had ever seen Daina unleash her ultimate ability.

Magic Liberation is a level-less skill that President Hughes purchased for Dina at great expense, exclusively for magic swordsmen.

The effect of this skill is simple: it involves pouring all the magic power into the sword, condensing it into a single point, and then releasing it all.

Judging from the power of this beam of light, Dina probably used all of her 9.1% magic power to unleash the lightsaber, leaving her with no magic power at all.

Furthermore, because Dina's magic is naturally fire-attributed, her magic release effect has a burning effect, making it much more powerful than the magic release of an ordinary magic swordsman.

The only drawback is that she's not very proficient with this skill, and it takes several seconds to charge it up.

Furthermore, Dina's current magic power is insufficient to unleash a light cannon; she can only unleash a small water gun attack.

First his legs were severed, then his head was blown off, and then half of his body was burned. The demonic bear was riddled with holes. If it were a living monster, it would probably be dead by now.

"Nora! One more blow!"

Louis shouted behind him.

"it is good."

The hooded girl jumped down from the tree, reached into her cloak, and pulled out a string of human hand-shaped grenades—seven or eight human intestines tied together—and hurled them at the demonized bear.

A string of grenades disappeared into the flames, followed by a series of explosions blazing with blue flames, engulfing the demonized bear completely.

Boom boom boom—

Dina and Nora gathered behind Louis, watching warily as the demonized bear was completely engulfed in flames.

"Did it...work?"

Daina's hands trembled slightly. The release of magic just now had left her arms sore and weak, and her meridians were stinging from the magic's impact.

Even the longsword in her hand turned into a twisted, blackened solid, like molten iron that had solidified, so hot that it was almost impossible to hold.

But at this moment, the girl was in a state of high excitement.

With the combined strength of three quasi-professionals, they managed to kill a supernatural monster—a feat rarely seen in the history of Blackrock City!

Of course, the main reason they were able to win was that the demonized bear was not very clear-headed, and neither the giant bear that made up its body nor Remy's head had reached the extraordinary level.

Strictly speaking, the Demonized Bear is a pseudo-supernatural monster.

Regardless, this is enough for her to brag about for a while.

Louis: "..."

He responded to Daina's excited question with silence.

Because Louis did not hear the pleasant notification sound from the cheat code.

Could it be that the demonized bear still has a breath left?

Louis turned and asked, "Are there any more grenades, Nora?"

Nora glanced at Louis:

"Why do you call it a grenade? It's called Claw... But the name grenade isn't bad either."

After a brief protest against Louis's haphazard naming, the hooded girl shook her head.

"That was all. That's all. After all, my cloak is just an ordinary cloak, not some kind of magical space."

So it wasn't a magical space after all? I thought your all-powerful cloak was a four-dimensional pocket.

Louis gazed longingly at the demonic bear in the firelight, his heart filled with reluctance.

Perhaps the demonic bear only has a sliver of health left; one more casual attack and you can easily collect its attributes.

But he dared not gamble, nor could he gamble!

No one knows just how tenacious the mutated creature's vitality is. Rather than risk being killed by getting closer to it, it's better to take this opportunity to run away.

Moreover, if the demonized bear is really about to die, you might hear a system notification before you run a kilometer away.

After carefully considering the pros and cons, Louis gritted his teeth and said:

"Never mind this thing, let's go..."

However, before he could finish speaking, the flames on the demonic bear suddenly went out.

It's like a candle exposed to a large amount of carbon dioxide; its flame goes out without warning.

The next second, a thick, dark mist, so dense it was visible to the naked eye, rapidly spread outwards, instantly enveloping an area of ​​several hundred meters in radius.

In this area, the lush green vegetation quickly turned black and withered. Insects that chirped and nested among the leaves fell like raindrops, twitched their legs once, and then fell silent.

Silence reigned over the world.

thump--

Dana and Nora clutched their necks in agony, their exposed skin bulging with veins, and they collapsed heavily to their knees, as if an invisible hand had gripped their necks.

Louis looked around in shock at the changes.

Immediately, he saw a grayish-white centipede, about the length of a person and covered in bone spurs, crawl out from the neck of the demonic bear, with Remy's head on its head.

Those goat horns seemed to have originated from the centipede.

Louis's mind raced, and without hesitation, he showed a look of pain and collapsed to the ground like Dana and Nora.

"Hehehehe..."

Remy's mouth moved, emitting a strange and hoarse cry:

"What a talented human, but not even a superhuman. He can't withstand my demonic energy at all."

"No... even human superhumans cannot resist me after being corrupted by my demonic energy, unless they are heroes who are naturally able to restrain my demonic race."

"Now I have three more useful bodies."

The centipede with Remy's head on its head slithered and soon reached Louis's side.

"This kid's not bad, hehehehe! He actually managed to fight head-on against the power I've enhanced to the Demon Bear level. Let me see what skills you have."

The last remaining goat horn softened rapidly, transforming into a long beard that wrapped around Louis's neck as he lay motionless on the ground.

However, before the tentacles could wrap around Louis's neck, Louis's hand shot out like lightning.

The large, iron-like hand gripped the centipede's bony body tightly.

This body was sturdy, but under Louis's 10 points of strength, it was crushed instantly like an empty plastic bottle.

A look of human astonishment instantly appeared on Remy's face.

"How...how is this possible!"

Louis slowly opened his eyes and smiled:

"Excuse me, but I really am a hero."
