Chapter 427: Chapter 425: Victory and Defeat Decided

The Golden Sea Urchin crawled ashore and made a beeline for the direction of the Sea Urchin Pyramid.

This time it didn’t notice Weisu’s presence, so it seemed no one would stop it from enjoying the delicious offering.

Soon after, Wen Wen stood in its path, the aura of someone from the Disaster Intermediate Sequence unfurled without any concealment.

The Golden Sea Urchin came to a halt, its whole state changed in an instant, becoming extremely dangerous and agitated, as it threatened Wen Wen.

Although Weisu was annoying, he posed no threat to it, but Wen Wen was different, Wen Wen could be a threat to its life!

Standing in front of this creature, Wen Wen felt the oppressive force it emitted.

A creature the size of a house, its body covered in spikes like long spears, exuded an aura of opulence that brought a special sense of awe.

Wen Wen had seen bigger monsters, but the body cast in gold gave this monster a distinct allure.

Wen Wen blinked and then drew out the Ice Longsword.

"Let’s test it out first..."

The Ice Sword Qi howled forth, striking the Golden Sea Urchin and exploding into icy blooms that froze everything between the urchin and the ground.

"This attack was slow enough, yet it didn’t dodge; it should be immobilized now..."

Wen Wen’s pupils contracted to see the Golden Sea Urchin’s spikes slightly move and shatter the ice, then changing its direction and barreling towards Wen Wen like a steamroller, crushing everything in its path!

"Such strong defense, my Ice Sword Qi didn’t leave even a mark on its skin... Is it resistant to ice attacks, or is it just pure toughness?"

Wen Wen sheathed the Ice Longsword and took out a flint near his mouth, then snapped his fingers, using the Oxygen-Sucking Sheep Demon Yao’s ability to exhale at the Golden Sea Urchin.

The scorching flames enveloped the Golden Sea Urchin like a fire dragon, turning the entire Golden Sea Urchin into a blazing furnace.

But the Golden Sea Urchin quickly burst through the flames and then fiercely accelerated towards Wen Wen, sweeping a spike at him.

Wen Wen, intent on testing its strength, did not dodge but instead manifested the Catastrophe Gloves, using his arm to resist the spike.

The spike hit Wen Wen’s arm, sweeping him off his feet with a startled expression and sending him flying until he crashed into, and shattered, a rock and came to a stop.

Wen Wen emerged from the rocks unscathed, looking at the huge sea urchin with a flicker of surprise in his eyes.

"This thing isn’t just abnormally strong in defense; it’s also powerful... But its movements seem a bit sluggish, otherwise, it would truly be difficult to deal with."

...

On the small hillside where the Hunters Association’s camp was set, two supporters kept an unblinking watch over the town through the lenses of two telescopes, but due to the fog, they couldn’t see clearly.

At night, the town would be so full of sea urchins that they covered the ground, forcing them to remain vigilant at this hillside camp.

Suddenly, one of the supporters noticed something fiercely colliding within the thick fog, disturbing the flow of mist, indicating that something must be happening in the town.

He was about to press the alarm when he was gently pushed aside, and a Female Demon Hunter, with a voluptuous figure in a tight uniform, placed her right eye to the telescope, after which a golden eye appeared on the lens!

By then, all five Demon Hunters stationed there had emerged from their rooms, their expressions grave—they had sensed the clash of auras between Disaster-Level powerhouses even quicker than the supporters.

"Du Xiao Ruan, what’s the situation over there?" asked Sun Yue, the Demon Hunter team leader with a triangular-shaped physique, gravely.

Hmm... his physique isn’t an inverted triangle, but a regular triangle.

"The Disaster Level sea urchin has appeared again, but this time is different. The one battling the sea urchin isn’t that shadow, but a strange superpower user in the Assimilation Realm!"

Female Demon Hunter Du Xiao Ruan said with her soft voice, her eyes able to pierce through the fog.

A strange superpower user in the Assimilation Realm...

Sun Yue’s expression grew even more solemn, "Is it one of our people?"

After hesitating for a moment, Du Xiao Ruan replied, "Probably not, the Association hasn’t issued a task for Rangers to deal with the Golden Sea Urchin, and the aura of that person is quite terrifying, not like a good person."

The Golden Sea Urchin only comes ashore for two hours each day and does no harm. Moreover, according to medical team observations, its behavior is unrelated to this epidemic; in fact, due to its frequent shoreline visits, the patients’ conditions have slightly improved.

So after the report was made, the Association’s stance was temporarily to leave the sea urchin be and first observe the situation.

Sun Yue’s face almost squished together as he struggled to take out his phone, "With the appearance of a strange superpower user in the Assimilation Realm, we must report this to the Association. This is beyond our ability to handle."

He had just dialed the number, getting ready to report, when a call came in. After answering it, Sun Yue had a weird look on his face, "Now, a Ranger has taken on this task; it must be the superpower user fighting the giant sea urchin."

"His code name is—’Mystic Detective’!"

"This way of making an entrance is weird enough..." Du Xiao Ruan commented.

...

After discovering the shadow of the Golden Sea Urchin at sea, Wen Wen took on the task.

Since he had decided to use his monster physique, there was no need for him to keep hiding.

After a few hard clashes with the Golden Sea Urchin, Wen Wen had become somewhat disheveled, while the enormous Golden Sea Urchin was completely unscathed!

Its shell was so strong it was almost perverted; most of Wen Wen’s attacks were ineffective against it.

However, it wasn’t invincible; after all, it was just a sea urchin.

Through previous direct confrontations, Wen Wen had figured out all the characteristics of the sea urchin. Although it was troublesome, it wasn’t unbeatable. He certainly wasn’t as weak as Weisu, who couldn’t kill a sea urchin even after more than ten days.

Wen Wen’s black hair behind his head silently spread out, but it didn’t attack the sea urchin directly. Instead, it dispersed in all directions, as if weaving a large net.

With the intelligence of the Golden Sea Urchin, it was unable to detect Wen Wen’s stratagem and kept clumsily charging at Wen Wen, damaging the terrain with its powerful spikes.

When Wen Wen finished all the arrangements, he stopped dodging and just stood in front of the sea urchin, sneering at it.

The Golden Sea Urchin charged straight towards Wen Wen but, in its rush, it suddenly stopped moving.

It wasn’t that it wanted to stop, but rather each one of its spikes was entwined by the black hair, rendering the giant sea urchin immobile!

Wen Wen’s strength fell short in comparison to the sea urchin, but it wasn’t his own strength that bound it!

The black hair wound around nearby rocks, trees, houses, and even burrowed into the ground before re-emerging, forming an unshakeable net that wrapped around the sea urchin.

To move, it had to either break free from Wen Wen’s numerous resilient hairs or shake everything around it by its own strength.

Now, the winner was clear!
