Chapter 579: Chapter 578: Prisoner from a Thousand Years Ago

After using the Other Shore Requiem, the Deer Head Monster’s attack became much more fierce.

The entire alternate space’s ground seemed to come alive, its attack methods no longer limited to releasing spikes beneath Wen Wen’s feet. Huge limbs and sharp blades came one after the other, as if dozens of giants were lurking underground, waving their arms and legs, trying to catch Wen Wen.

If Wen Wen stayed in one place for more than a second, he would be subjected to focused attacks, and only by maintaining high-speed movement could he avoid being hit.

"What exactly is this stupid deer’s ability? I’ve shattered its body several times, but it remains completely unharmed."

While running, Wen Wen pondered how to deal with the Deer Head Monster.

The Deer Head Monster would protect its actual body to a certain extent, but that protection was too weak. Wen Wen had broken through several times using various methods to destroy its body, but no matter how Wen Wen destroyed it, the Deer Head Monster would recover in a short time.

The Deer Head Monster floated in midair and said blankly to Wen Wen, "I’ve already said that this space is an extension of my limbs, no matter how powerful you are, you cannot defeat me here; you might as well surrender now."

Countless giant palms tried to grab Wen Wen, but he agilely weaved through them, not a single hand could touch him.

"The attacks are getting fiercer, and it’s trying to persuade me to surrender, which means it’s anxious... If it really is invincible, why hurry to kill me, I would eventually be worn out."

"Although I don’t know where its vital point is, at least it shows that I’m not the only one being exhausted..."

The Four Cubs flew out of Wen Wen’s pocket, landed on his shoulder, and emitted a cyan light that slightly restored Wen Wen’s strength.

The Power of the Four Spirits from the Qi Ling Mountain Range, besides showcasing strength equivalent to that of Disaster Level monsters, also added enhancements to Wen Wen: increasing his killing power, defense, speed, and recovery.

With the Four Cubs present, even in a battle of attrition, Wen Wen was not inferior to this bizarre Deer Head Monster.

But Wen Wen’s relief did not last long before the eerie Other Shore Requiem played again, causing his movements to stiffen slightly.

The next moment, Wen Wen was pinned to the ground by several fists as large as buildings, which grew numerous spikes hammering fiercely at the spot where Wen Wen lay.

After hammering for a while, the fists dispersed, and the Deer Head Monster walked to the edge of the large pit only to frown immediately—Wen Wen was not in the pit.

Suddenly a green light appeared, and Wen Wen emerged behind the Deer Head Monster, grabbed its head, smashed it with a punch, and then hacked its body into pieces with the Blade of Contamination. This wouldn’t kill it, but at least it would drain some of its energy.

Facing an opponent like the Deer Head Monster, the abilities copied by the Faceless Demon from the Corrupt Blood were of no use, so Wen Wen had secretly switched to Yan Biqing’s constitution, leveraging Yan Biqing’s ability to temporarily phase his body, allowing Wen Wen to escape that predicament.

The Deer Head Monster that Wen Wen had chopped to pieces recovered in a few seconds, looking at Wen Wen with a sinister expression.

"It seems angry. Its ability is monotonous but when combined, it’s terrifyingly powerful; relying only on the ability to phase isn’t enough..."

"I must give it my all, ’Dark Matter’... activate!"

A black robe covered Wen Wen’s body, and thick chains emerged from the sleeves of his robe.

With these chains, he could at least provide himself with sufficient protection in critical moments, as these chains were absolutely indestructible.

To Wen Wen’s slight surprise, the Deer Head Monster did not immediately attack, instead gazing somewhat absently at Wen Wen’s chains.

"Chains... these chains... roar!"

The Deer Head Monster opened his huge mouth and roared, as red scalp started oozing blood, and his body spasmed irregularly, seemingly enduring immense pain.

Its roar was even more piercing than the Other Shore Requiem, yet it lacked the effect of soul assault. Nevertheless, Wen Wen couldn’t help but retreat several tens of meters.

After the roar ended, the blood-stained deer-headed monster pointed at Wen Wen and said, "I recognize your chains, you are a Containment Officer! A Containment Officer from the Catastrophe Containment Facility!"

"How does this monster know about the Catastrophe Containment Facility?"

Wen Wen’s pupils shrank. He had never dreamed that he would hear those words from the mouth of this monster.

He had utilized the resources of the Hunters Association to conduct investigations and had interrogated many monsters incarcerated within the sanctuary, yet he had never uncovered any information related to the facility.

Actually, this made sense. If the sanctuary really existed a thousand years ago and operated in the same fashion as the present one, then it was fitting that no trace of the sanctuary’s existence was known.

Because only Containment Officers knew the name of the sanctuary, and they were not allowed to disclose its existence; additionally, every Containment Officer had perished over a thousand years ago.

Then why does this monster know about the sanctuary?

Previously, this monster had said that it had been wandering this world for a thousand years...

Plus, its massive reaction after recognizing the sanctuary...

Wen Wen had a terrifying guess; this monster was one of those imprisoned in the sanctuary a thousand years ago!

"Catastrophe Containment Facility... you have finally reappeared, indeed, it was such chains that kidnapped me."

The undulating ground halted its movements, and the Other Shore Flower returned to its gray color. The Deer Head Monster calmly looked at Wen Wen, and the air suddenly quieted down.

But this did not mean the Deer Head Monster had given up on the fight; rather, it became even more terrifying than before.

The energy previously harbored in the ground and the Other Shore Flower began to surge into the body of the Deer Head Monster, causing its body to swell like a balloon being inflated.

Its shriveled body became muscular, its slender, elongated claws like hooks forged from steel, and its aura like a volcano about to erupt, causing Wen Wen’s scalp to tingle.

"This thing, compared to before, is completely a different creature... did it eat spinach?"

Step by step, the Deer Head Monster walked toward Wen Wen, and once it covered a certain distance, Wen Wen started to retreat at an even pace; he needed to maintain a certain safety distance.

"My name is Aker Aru, the tiller of the Soul Other Shore, and I have been away from that dreadful place for a thousand years..."

Following that, it fiercely roared at Wen Wen, "Do you know how we have spent these thousand years?"

Wen Wen wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, scratched his cheek, and said, "Wanna play Blue Moon?"

Aker Aru hesitated for a moment, what on earth was this ’Wanna play Blue Moon’?

After a brief two-second pause, it realized Wen Wen was mocking it, and it roared again, "It’s hatred! For over a thousand years, we have been waiting for you to appear, to take revenge on you lot!"
