Chapter 125: Chapter 56 Master of Horror Tales_3

It had a Spiritual Barrier, but it was of average thickness. It was probably not as solid as a Second Awakening Spiritual Ability User’s barrier.

But its reactions were swift, responding to the stealth attack with lightning speed.

Moreover, it could still stand up after taking a Top Heart Elbow.

You know, Li Yelai’s physical strength was very high now. Just by looking at his physical power, he was not inferior to a Third Awakening True Martial.

The power of that elbow strike was not small.

It had to be said, this Abnormality was a bit strong.

This must be one of the elite monsters in the art museum’s Master of Horror Tales. If every security Abnormality was of this standard, then Li Yelai would have to be more cautious.

"Night General?"

At this moment, a voice rang out.

In the second-floor corridor, Starfire and Shadow Stream, who were helping students and teachers escape the rooms, were somewhat astonished as they watched Li Yelai and the security Abnormality.

Around them, there were many wax statues, with quite a few already melted by the burning flames.

Starfire and the others had planned to protect the students and teachers as they left the second floor. Everything was going smoothly; those wax statues had come to life but failed to withstand Starfire’s Flames and were ignited one by one.

But before they had even reached the staircase,

Li Yelai had burst in with the monster, leaving everyone stunned.

"Ignite it!" Li Yelai quickly ordered. He directed Starfire to surround and attack with high intensity.

Starfire didn’t hesitate, snapping his fingers and striking.

From the friction of his gloves came sparks, which in an instant turned into a Fire Snake shooting towards the security Abnormality.

However, the security Abnormality swung a two-meter-long chain with its left hand, creating an iron net around it, which astonishingly scattered the Fire Snake.

At the same time, its right hand clenched a T-shaped baton for a charge at Li Yelai.

Facing the swiftly swinging chain, Li Yelai’s eyes narrowed slightly.

He waited for the opportunity created by his teammates.

The next second, just as the chain was about to close in on Li Yelai, a dagger suddenly stabbed into the back of the security Abnormality.

The Abnormality’s body stiffened, the speed of the chain slowed. Following that, its right hand swung the baton back fiercely.

But it could only see a fleeting shadow behind itself before disappearing into the darkness.

That was Shadow Stream, a Spiritual Ability User of the Netherworld Path, capable of releasing a dark mist that can conceal their form, especially effective in dim environments.

Thanks to the cover of Starfire’s Flames, Shadow Stream had successfully backstabbed the security Abnormality.

And that was enough!

As the security swung back, Li Yelai charged, stepping on the chain to prevent it from swinging further.

At the same time, his Hot Melt Axe cleaved into the monster’s head riddled with holes, shearing off half its skull.

Foul-smelling black blood splattered everywhere, the security Abnormality’s body stiffened, then collapsed limply to the ground.

That’s the importance of teamwork; with the support of his two colleagues, Li Yelai easily took down the troublesome monster without even having to activate Wanxiang Wumian.

"Beautifully done!"

Li Yelai complimented Starfire and Shadow Stream, their teamwork—one bright and one dark—was simply perfect!

Starfire cracked a smile, "I can grow too!"

Shadow Stream nodded shyly with a hint of embarrassment.

Then, Li Yelai returned to the third floor and gathered the students.

With two groups successfully converging on the second floor, and including the injured, there were eleven, making a total of thirty-seven people.

Many cried tears of joy, finally convinced of Li Yelai’s official identity.

They just needed to get through the first floor to leave safely.

However, for safety considerations,

Li Yelai had everyone rest on the second floor and left Starfire and Shadow Stream to protect them.

He then went down to the first floor alone.

Planning to check the situation there first.

But after just a few steps, he spotted Cheese.

At the moment, she was leaning against a wall, drenched in sweat as if desperately avoiding something.

Sensing Li Yelai approaching, she immediately placed her index finger on her lips to signal for silence.

Li Yelai complied.

Wondering what was happening, he then heard a very heavy set of footsteps coming from around the corner not far away.

Soon, a two-meter-tall, bulging figure emerged from the corner, bringing with it a terrible sense of pressure.

It made Li Yelai involuntarily hold his breath.

This grotesquely swollen figure, also wearing a security uniform, had thick chains hanging from its body, dragging sparks along the ground.

Each step carried a terrifying heaviness, crunch, crunch, crunch...

It lingered around the corner for a while, shaking its flashlight, before slowly moving away.

Only when the footsteps could no longer be heard did Li Yelai approach Cheese to inquire, "What was that?"

Cheese, dripping with cold sweat and seemingly drained of energy, leaned on Li Yelai’s shoulder and weakly said, "That’s the art museum’s Master of Horror Tales..."

"Security Captain."
