Chapter 1456: Chapter 985 Chaotic Killing!_3

"As a monster, to plead for mercy like a human—doesn’t it make you sick?"

While he spoke, Duanmu Huai clenched his right hand tightly. Feeling the force of his fist, the girl’s face grew even paler. Her expression twisted in pain, and like a helpless little animal, she desperately beat against Duanmu Huai’s hand. But Duanmu Huai merely savored her struggles, his right hand tightening slowly.

"Cry, scream, wail! And then die! Filthy alien! There’s no place for your kind here! Feel the terror and wrath of the Tribunal, and perish in despair!"

"Ugh... Ah... Aaah..."

By now, the girl’s eyes had rolled back, her mouth gaping wide, a swollen tongue protruding as drool dripped uncontrollably from the corners. Her delicate, pitiful figure convulsed and squirmed in Duanmu Huai’s grasp, kicking at him wildly with her small legs. Yet Duanmu Huai observed everything coldly, as though what he held was nothing more than a worthless lab rat.

Then, veins bulged along Duanmu Huai’s arm, and his right hand clenched forcefully!

"Crunch!"

With the crisp sound of bones breaking, the girl’s struggles ceased. Her head drooped like a broken doll. At that moment, her entire form started to dissolve, melting away like a wax sculpture consumed by flames. She turned into a thick black liquid resembling shadow, dripping from Duanmu Huai’s hand to the floor before vanishing without a trace.

"Hmph, nothing special."

Duanmu Huai dusted off his hands. Meanwhile, Nedai Shinpei and the others, who had emerged from the school building and witnessed the scene, were completely stunned, rendered speechless and slack-jawed.

"Incredible..."

They had seen how Duanmu Huai brutally crushed the Four-clawed Beast and killed the girl. While they had previously, during retrospection, managed to dispatch shadows by deciphering their weaknesses, every instance had required meticulous planning. After all, the shadows’ reactions and speed far outstripped those of humans, and any misstep often led to fatal retaliation. Every battle with the shadows for them had been nerve-wracking, a perilous tightrope walk.

But Duanmu Huai’s straightforward and relentless style of crushing everything in his path—completely unreasonable, purely focused on annihilation—was something they had never seen before...

However...

"Mr. Duanmu!"

Nedai Shinpei snapped out of his daze and quickly rushed to Duanmu Huai.

"That wasn’t the real one... it was just a clone!"

"I know."

Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes. He had seen Nedai Shinpei’s memories and naturally understood the situation. The twin-tailed girl was nothing but a clone of The Ancient Dominator, not its true form. In fact, during earlier retrospection, Nedai Shinpei and his group had managed to kill the girl once before, only for her to inexplicably revive and kill them in return.

Still, that wasn’t a complete waste. At least, Nedai Shinpei and his team had located the true body of The Ancient Dominator—it resided in the colossal underground cavern beneath Hidari Island!

But for Duanmu Huai, there was one minor issue.

Which was... Nedai Shinpei and his group had used secret passages and the sewers to reach the cavern.

And... Duanmu Huai couldn’t fit!

If he tried entering the sewer, he’d just get stuck, plain and simple!

So Duanmu Huai needed to find another route. Fortunately, according to Nedai Shinpei and Minami Rizhu, the underground cavern seemed connected to the ocean. Duanmu Huai could use the Bird Divination Tool to scan for other possible routes that he could actually fit through.

"Leave the true body to me. As for you lot..."

Duanmu Huai spoke as he furrowed his brows, glaring at Nedai Shinpei, then snapped his fingers.

"Mary."

"Yes, Mr. Duanmu? What is it?"

"While I’m dealing with that bastard, keep an eye on him for me! I don’t want him resetting the timeline again while I’m gone!"
