Chapter 258 - 258 171 Pure Black Magic Water (4000)_2

Chapter 258: 171 Pure Black Magic Water (4000)_2 Chapter 258: 171 Pure Black Magic Water (4000)_2 “Hehe….the neck is a crucial area that requires maximum defense. An ambush? Impossible.”

Heisha abruptly turned around, in surprise to see the magician’s lapel was now higher. A sheet of steel painted black was encasing his whole neck, five slender scratches were visible over it.

The magician snapped his fingers, and promptly the steel collar descended through the control of telekinesis, the steel plate on his throat opened at the junction.

This is a telekinetic’s understanding of their abilities. Some naive fools do not carry any tools and enter into dangerous situations. Others are deceitful and even carry loads of poisonous smoke. The magician is relatively normal; he manipulates lots of hidden weapons and defends his vital areas with steel plates.

This suit isn’t just an ordinary suit: numerous steel plates are hidden all over it. With the assistance of telekinesis, they can quickly move to cover any section.

If one’s reaction speed and eye strength are adequate, it can even stop a bullet!

“What a formidable person….”

Casio, from the shadows, thoughtfully stroked his chin in admiration.

Through observing their battles, he began to understand. These two new humans are either descendants of the Eerie Night Guest or are the Eerie Night Guest themselves. Through some strange and peculiar method, after the disappearance of the Black Rain Villa, they maintained their abilities. They had developed and studied their unique supernatural paths, forming the basics of a concrete system.

For example, the magician’s refined control over telekinesis.

For example, Catwoman’s Meow Fist which blended wildness and skill.

Although it’s still crude compared to Secret Martial Arts, it has already shown signs of forming an independent system. This did indeed broaden his horizons.

After some consideration, Casio, standing tall, felt that he had seen enough and thought he ought to attempt capturing them to question.

Just at this moment, two figures suddenly flew backward through the trees, landing heavily on the ground, tumbling and picking themselves up.

It was the magician and Catwoman!

At this moment, they both looked like they were on high alert.

The magician coughed a few times, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.

“Steam Demon Puppet!”

In the dark woods, a pair of red eyes floated in the air. Its possessor pushed through the undergrowth, revealing itself under the moonlight.

It was a puppet seemingly built from a mix of rock and steel, the white color of the rock mixed with the black of the steel. The puppet’s head was a cylindrical steel helmet, much like a medieval knight’s helmet.

In the center of the helmet, two holes emitted a red light.

In addition, as the name suggests, the Steam Demon Puppet constantly emanated grey-black steam from its body, giving off a cold aura.

“Aren’t the Anta Mountains a Level One safe zone? How can a Steam Demon Puppet appear here?! Was it attracted by our battle earlier?! Dammit!” Catwoman Heisha glanced at the sky to observe her surroundings; she found that she could no longer see the sky, only fog that resembled a cloud layer.

It was a low pressure, deep-black atmosphere, like it was about to rain.

“I do not know if you have heard a rumor….”

As the magician reached into his pocket to grab a hidden weapon, he explained, “Indeed, the Anta Mountains are currently classified as a Level One safety zone. But decades ago, it used to be a Level Five danger zone! Only later was it gradually downgraded…”

“If the rumors are true, there’s nothing surprising about a Steam Demon Puppet occurring in Anta mountains, which usually only appear in Level Two areas.”

He pulled out a metal bead, breathing heavily and wiping sweat off his forehead as he spoke. The designations of Levels One through Five were developed by these New Humans over half a century. The earth had regions suitable for normal human survival and additionally, certain other strange regions.

These areas would be associated with various dangers.

Level One: Safe.

Level Two: Dangerous.

Level Three: Trembling.

Level Four: Terror.

Level Five: Hell.

In Level One, the Safe Zone, there’s basically no difference from the normal environment and dangers rarely occur. While in Level Two, bizarre scenes start to appear- anomalies defying the laws of physics, roving Steam Demon Puppets, and so on…..

Of course, fortune comes with calamity.

Wherever there are dangers there are also benefits.

The major reason the organized New Humans classified these special regions was not the dangers alone, but also the distinctive treasures and resources found within. One of the most famous treasures was the Pure Black Devil Water- a spring water that surged from cracks in the earth. The Pure Black Devil Water changes location, drying up overnight. Once dry, it would appear somewhere else entirely.

And this spring water is quite useful for New Humans.

Taking it regularly in diluted form will enhance one’s abilities.

It enables to increase at a speed several times faster than before.

Pure Black Magic Water exists in different zones from level one to five.

The higher the hazard level of the area, the higher the quality of the Pure Black Magic Water. It’s said that the Pure Black Magic Water in level five zones has an exaggerated effect that can cause a complete transformation within a day. A newcomer who has just awakened can become a new human powerhouse.

Before the magician appeared the Steam Demon Puppet.

This thing, like the guards of a special zone, wanders around constantly. Its strength is formidable, using an unknown combat technique. It’s enveloped by a corrosive chilly black fog, being keen on tracking and killing humans at night.

It’s a killing machine driven by instinct.

The magician glanced at the catwoman Heisha beside him: “If it’s just one person, it’s impossible to escape the relentless hunt of the Steam Demon Puppet. But there are two of us. As long as we collaborate properly, escaping the pursuit range of the Steam Demon Puppet is not a big deal…”

“Huh?!”

Next to him, Heisha shot out like an arrow. She sprinted at high speed, flying out more than ten meters in an instant.

Sometimes, in the face of danger, you don’t need to run very fast, just a little bit faster than others.

“Damn it!”

The magician also sprinted away cursing under his breath.

The soles of his shoes have a layer of iron, which is the best material for telekinesis. The magician can control the iron plate to elevate, thereby reducing his own weight and making his figure more agile.

However, his speed clearly could not match that of the Catwoman.

The two, one in front and the other behind, dashed quickly against the mountain path.

Behind them, the red eyes of the Steam Demon Puppet rotated as if locking onto the target. Its whole body was emitting steam as it charged wildly.

As it passed a stone, the Steam Demon Puppet suddenly turned its head, its eyes flashing red. Behind the stone, the hearts of three teenage boys and girls thumped wildly, their palms sweaty. The girl in the dress was even pale with fear, her lips pursed and tugging at the hem of her dress.

Luckily, the Steam Demon Puppet didn’t even pause, as if the three targets were not as valuable as the two targets before.

It kept charging wildly, steam trailing behind it.

Suddenly, it stopped as it passed by a big tree.

The Steam Demon Puppet stepped heavily on the ground, creating a deep pit. It turned its head to stare at the tree trunk in front of it, the red light from its head acting like a searchlight.

It faintly illuminated the forest in front of it.

It paused like this for a few seconds.

The three people behind the stone also looked over.

“Thump!”

A hand with wide joints pressed against the tree bark, a man with a cold demeanor and expressionless face walked out from behind the tree.

“Why do you want to seek death? Isn’t it good to be alive?”

Whoosh!

A blurry black shadow flashed like lightning in the air.

Casio pulled back his hands nonchalantly, rotating the bronze ring on his finger to shed the stone powder stuck between the crevices.

Just a meter ahead.

The Steam Demon Puppet stood there, stunned and frozen.

Then,

Boom!

The body made of metal and rock exploded on the spot.

From a collapsed chest to shattered limbs, it only took less than half a second for the Steam Demon Puppet to blast into a cloud of shattered stones in the air.

Casio waved his hand, fanning away the dust in front of him.

He glanced sideways at the stone behind him where three stupefied kids stood. Turning to the opposite direction, Casio looked into the distance at the two figures and murmured to himself, “What the hell are they running for? What’s so scary about this heap of junk?”
