Chapter 181: The War Begins
_____
"Three extremely dangerous species. The situation is very dangerous."
Mine picked up the pumpkin again. "But the more dangerous it is, the stronger I will be."
A thick golden beam of light shot out like a sharp arrow. The giant snail's head hid within its shell, remaining motionless.
Boom!
The golden beam quickly expanded, turning into a huge fireball. When the flames dissipated, the giant snail was revealed, and one section of its shell turned black, with visible burn marks.
"Still not broken?"
Mine looked solemn.
What a strong defense! The enemies we encountered before weren't even on the same level as this one.
Is this what it means to face a super dangerous species?
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
A barrage of tentacles shot out from the giant snail's shell, rushing toward Mine in overwhelming numbers.
Two people stepped forward to stand in front of Mine.
The boy on the left held a machete, and the woman on the right, dressed in a purple outfit, wielded a giant pair of scissors.
Tatsumi! Sheele!
"Leave this to us!"
Leone, Bulat, and Lubbock also stepped up.
According to the plan, the six of them were responsible for dealing with the giant snail. Najenda, Susanoo, Aoki, and Akame then turned and rushed toward the Tyrannosaurus Rex without hesitation.
The four of them would be the main force against the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
"Roar!"
There was intense anger and hatred in the Tyrannosaurus Rex's eyes. It was these tiny beings that had almost killed it.
It opened its mouth, and red energy surged out.
The four dodged.
Boom!
The energy struck like a cannonball, flames expanding, waves of air rolling, and leaving a deep pit in the ground.
Kurome landed lightly on the ground, drew Yatsufusa, and activated her ability without hesitation.
A sphere of black energy appeared at the tip of , and black lightning crackled out.
Rumble.
The ground shifted, and massive figures began to emerge one by one.
Akame and Najenda both showed surprised expressions.
They were all dangerous species, extremely powerful, top-tier dangerous species. However, what surprised them wasn't just the strength of the puppets—it was their sheer number.
A total of sixteen puppets had appeared!
The March of the Dead, Yatsufusa, could control up to eight corpses. Why did sixteen puppets appear?
Boom!
A sphere of red energy passed by, devouring the upper body of one of the puppets, leaving only its legs and part of its chest. But in the next moment, flesh and blood spread, and in the blink of an eye, the puppet returned to its original state.
Najenda and Akame were increasingly astonished. They both knew that an ordinary dangerous species did not have this level of regenerative power.
Could this be Yatsufusa s' ability?
When did Yatsufusa gain such power? Kurome smiled faintly. Yatsufusa had become one with her.
Not only could she now control up to sixteen puppets, but the puppets she summoned had the properties of demons and could regenerate quickly.
This was her blood demon Art—simple yet incredibly powerful.
Najenda looked at Kurome deeply. Although she had known Kurome was not easy to deal with, she had never expected that Kurome would be this powerful.
It was fortunate Kurome left the Empire; otherwise, she would surely have brought them huge trouble.
"Go ahead!"
Kurome pointed with her long blade. Sixteen puppets rushed toward the Tyrannosaurus Rex together.
Susanoo followed closely behind.
As a biological Imperial Weapon, he, too, had no fear of injury. Najenda knew her own limits, so she held back instead of charging forward.
With the support of the puppets and Susanoo, Akame silently came up behind the Tyrannosaurus Rex, maintaining her calm, as Murasame flashed forward like lightning.
She was an assassin.
Although she is highly capable in frontal combat, she is also skilled at assassinations.
Anyone injured by Murasame will die, even if they are extremely dangerous.
At this moment, the Tyrannosaurus Rex suddenly turned and swung its claws.
Clang!
Akame felt a terrifying force rushing toward her. She didn't dare take it head-on and flew backward.
Although she did her best to absorb the impact, her palms were still numb upon landing.
However, more than its sheer strength, she was surprised by another aspect of this dangerous species' response.
"What a keen sense!"
This extremely dangerous creature certainly didn't know Murasame's abilities, but among many attacks, it had keenly identified the most threatening one and made the right response.
More dangers kept appearing around them.
The black-eyed puppet had to abandon its attack on the Tyrannosaurus Rex to deal with its dangerous minions.
Seeing this, Akame's eyes gradually sharpened. If Murasame injures you, death is inevitable.
But to avoid relying too much on Murasame, she would still target fatal points. For example, the neck or heart.
This way, even without Murasame, her strength would not drop significantly. However, this approach also restricted Murasame from fully unleashing its power.
Aoki had said there were four super-dangerous species in this secret realm.
Three had appeared so far, and one had not yet shown itself; this last one was the strongest and most dangerous.
If that extremely dangerous species suddenly returned and they didn't have enough manpower to handle it, the hunting plan could directly fail.
One super-dangerous species must be taken down as soon as possible!
Aoki was handling the flying super-dangerous species alone, while the super-dangerous species Mine and the others dealt with had extremely strong defenses.
Only they had the means for a quick kill.
Akame's gaze swept over the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Its massive body and limited flexibility meant that this extremely dangerous species had many blind spots.
Now that she had decided not to restrain herself or Murasame, she quickly noticed multiple flaws.
"Bury it!"
Akame pointed her toes and shot forward.
…
Whoosh!
A sharp whistling sound filled the air as countless wind blades flew toward him.
Aoki quickly flapped his wings, his figure tracing an arc to dodge the wind blades.
The saying "seeing someone after three days will make you see them with fresh eyes" held true.
He was completely different from the last time they met. The last time he came here, his average attribute was only 28 points; now, it had reached 37 points.
His power had increased by more than a level.
His increased speed, combined with the foresight granted by the "transparent world," allowed him to dodge the wind blades.
The Super Pterosaur's gaze grew cold.
It took note of this "small creature."
Though small, he was highly dangerous. There was no need to rush in recklessly.
Whoosh!
The Super Pterosaur retreated as numerous dangerous species swooped down to attack Aoki.
"Very cunning."
Aoki's body swelled, and in an instant, he transformed into a three-meter-tall, fierce and imposing dragon-man.
It was slightly inconvenient.
After transforming into a dragon-man, Aoki's tube whip and bone whip vanished.
However, The tail now served as an enhanced version of the bone whip—more powerful, more flexible, and far more formidable.
The techniques he had developed were still usable, though their reach was slightly shorter.
A vulture-shaped dangerous species approached Aoki first, radiating the aura of a high-level threat.
This was the kind of dangerous presence that could only be handled by a powerful imperial weapon user or the military.
But, It was now facing Aoki.
Even when Aoki first arrived in this world, he wasn't someone a top-tier dangerous species could easily harm. Much less now.
"Get out of my way!"
Aoki let out a low roar and swept his tail in a flash, like black lightning. The vulture-like dangerous species was split cleanly down the middle.
Aoki didn't even look back, instead flapping his wings and charging into the swarm of dangerous flying creatures like a cannonball.
Limbs and blood flew everywhere, creating a brutal, bloody rain in his wake.
None of these airborne threats could match him.
Moments later.
Aoki's gaze sharpened as he looked up to see the Super Pterosaur only dozens of meters away.
Whoosh!
The Super Pterosaur opened its mouth, unleashing a torrent of wind blades. At this close range, with dangerous species surrounding him, Aoki had no way to dodge.
But he had no intention to evade—nor was there any need to.
Ultimate form, activated!
Aoki's body suddenly began to swell.
