"roar--!"

The next second, Valentine's body began to swell violently.

Layers of black keratin grew on the surface of the skin, the nails swelled into sharp claws, and two huge fleshy tumors even bulged on the back, as if something was about to burst out of the body.

The once elegant nobleman instantly transformed into a humanoid monster.

Without using any weapons, he charged directly into the monster horde, his hands like knives, tearing everything in his path, from hounds to rats, to shreds.

Blood splattered on his face, making it difficult to tell whether he was human or a monster.

"Extraordinary power is truly terrifying."

Lu Yuan stood in the back row, sighing as he raised the bronze shotgun.

"Splash!"

The water exploded as a tentacle attempted to ambush Valentine, who was wreaking havoc.

"Bang!"

Lu Yuan pulled the trigger without hesitation.

The copper bullet exploded, instantly turning the tentacle into a bloody mess, causing it to retract in pain.

"Well done, doctor!"

Valentine turned around and grinned, his mouth full of sharp teeth making the smile look particularly terrifying.

With Valentine and Hans's rampage, the once densely packed horde of mutated creatures was finally cleared of a bloody path.

"Now! Close the roads!"

Hans roared.

Without hesitation, Gray hurled a bottle of mithril from his backpack at the swarm of rats rushing from the side.

The other bottle was thrown by Toby onto the huge pile of corpses blocking the drain.

"boom--!!!"

Two dazzling silver flames rose up simultaneously.

The rat horde turned to ashes in the silver flames, while the mountain of flesh in front was also devoured by the silver flames.

A piercing roar echoed through the pipes, and a strong, acrid smell filled the air.

"Is it resolved?" Ed asked, panting heavily as he wiped the black blood from his face.

"Stop talking nonsense! If you don't want to suffocate, get out of here!"

Hans pulled up Lu Yuan, who was still panting, and signaled everyone to quickly evacuate by the light of the fire.

However, things did not go as smoothly as expected.

Just when everyone thought that the mountain of flesh had been burned to death by mithril.

"Guji—"

A chilling wriggling sound suddenly drowned out the crackling of the flames.

"careful!!"

Lu Yuan turned around abruptly, his pupils shrinking.

The mountain of flesh burning in the silver flames actually moved!

It didn't die!

On the contrary, the bottle of mithril seemed to have only burned away a layer of its outer "cocoon".

At this moment, countless charred tissues peeled away, revealing the fresh, bright red new flesh beneath.

Its enormous body, which almost filled the entire pipe, began to writhe violently, and countless pale arms stretched out from the flesh.

Like some kind of insect, it frantically scratched at the wall, using it to move forward.

The target was Valentine, who was covered in blood!

"It's chasing us!!"

Ed muttered in disbelief, "The mithril didn't burn it to death!!"

"It's got its eye on Valentine!"

Hans's expression changed drastically. He swung his greatsword backhand, attempting to sever one of the outstretched tentacles.

But the tentacles were incredibly tough, and the greatsword was deflected when it struck them.

"roar--!"

The mountain of flesh let out a greedy roar, its massive body rumbling down like a derailed train of flesh and blood at an astonishing speed.

Wherever it went, whether it was the moss on the walls or the rubble on the ground, it was all swept into its gaping maw.

"Run! Run!!"

No one dared to continue fighting.

"Damn it! Why is this thing so hard!"

Valentine ran wildly, turning back to try and tear it apart with his grappling hook.

But the newly torn wound was instantly filled with new fleshy growth. "No! My attacks are useless."

The mountain of flesh was getting closer and closer.

The nauseating, fishy stench almost hit the back of everyone's heads.

"There's no other way! We have to kill it! Otherwise, no one will escape!"

Hans stopped, a resolute glint in his eyes. "Toby! Do you still have any mithril?"

"Just one more bottle!"

Toby, who was running in the lead, suddenly stopped and turned around, clutching the silvery-glowing potion tightly in his hand. "But the last one didn't work, this one..."

"Just throw it in!"

Hans was about to order a full-scale attack.

"No!"

Lu Yuan, who had been observing silently, suddenly roared, interrupting Hans's command.

"Don't throw it away! Its restorative power surpasses that of mithril."

Everyone was taken aback.

At this critical moment of life and death, everyone's eyes instinctively turned to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan offered no explanation.

With the hint of the gray-white writing, he could clearly see deep within that wildly writhing mountain of flesh.

A black sphere of light was pulsating violently.

That is its core, and the source of all its power.

But the core was hidden too deeply, enveloped by a thick layer of corpse.

"This aggregate most likely contains a core!"

Lu Yuan stared intently at the orb of light, speaking rapidly, "The core must be exposed for the mithril to take effect! Follow my command!"

"Valentine! Can you tear it open?"

"Okay!" Valentine's beastly face revealed a ferocious smile.

"Alright! Watch my hand gesture!"

Lu Yuan took a deep breath, and even though his rational mind was screaming warnings, he did not look away.

The mountain of flesh had already rushed in front of him, and countless arms were about to grab Valentine.

"Now! Above the abdomen! That wound that's healing! Tear it open!"

Lu Yuan suddenly pointed to a spot in the upper part of the mountain of flesh.

It looked ordinary, but in Lu Yuan's eyes, it was the best way to get to the heart of the matter.

"Die... Get out of here!!!"

Valentine did not hesitate at all.

He let out a beastly roar, and instead of retreating, he charged forward to meet the overwhelming tentacles.

With a murderous intent, the sharp claws plunged into the spot Lu Yuan had indicated.

"Rip—!"

With a tearing sound that made your teeth ache, Valentine used his strength to rip a large hole in the belly of the mountain of flesh.

Dark green sap gushed out, but he held on tightly to the wound, refusing to back down an inch.

And deep within that bloody mess, a black tumor, still throbbing wildly, was finally exposed to the air!

"Toby! Throw it!!!"

At the same time Lu Yuan shouted it out.

Having been poised to strike, Toby used all his strength to throw the last vial of mithril into the large hole, hitting the tumor precisely.

"withdraw!!"

Valentine kicked off the mountain of flesh and used the force to fly backward.

"boom--!!!"

next second.

An unprecedentedly dazzling silver light exploded from inside the mountain of flesh.

Without the protection of its outer layer, the fragile core instantly vaporized under the mithril fire.

Immediately afterwards, the enormous creature that had been frantically pursuing them froze.

It let out its last, most mournful howl.

"ah--!!!"

The sound carried an invisible spiritual impact, sweeping across everyone.

Except for the physically strong Hans, who managed to kneel on one knee, everyone else present instantly lost their balance.

Ed and Gray rolled their eyes and fainted, nosebleeds gushing out.

Valentine, who was in a berserk state, was severely injured and spat out a mouthful of black blood.

Its body shrank, and it crashed heavily to the ground like a kite with a broken string, its fate unknown.

"Well..."

Lu Yuan felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, and warm liquid flowed from his nostrils.

But Lu Yuan gritted his teeth and forced himself to stay awake.
