Chapter 359: 357 Chapter 359: 357 “Boom boom boom!”

Gigantic explosions kept ringing out.

Even the “Son of Sadomasochism’s” complexion suddenly changed, sensing the strain, but his hands never ceased moving. Facing the storm-like onslaught of slashes, he still maintained his “dance,” only now it moved as if on fast-forward.

“Tch, not playing by the rules and unleashing colorless skills, huh?”

Seeing this, Colin didn’t hesitate and directly tossed a “Colorless Crystal Block” at the “Son of Sadomasochism.”

However, although the battle situation was tense, watching the two fight as if they were competing in a dance battle at the village edge…

Colin couldn’t help but let his thoughts wander a bit and felt like saying, “Stop it, you can’t kill anyone fighting like this… Huh?”

Why was he distracted?

“Detected a subtle mental influence, please be alert!” the Little Maid’s voice sounded in his ear.

Upon hearing this, Colin immediately alerted everyone.

“Eh, they responded so quickly, noticing the effects of ‘Mental Interference: Attention Loss’?”

“…That’s kind of impressive…”

“No big deal, get ready, I can break his defense in one second… and take out that blessing-added one… so annoying…”

“…”

The very next second, the D Level Squad Leader suddenly swung his sword with force, tearing a hole through the dazzling light shield.

At the same time, an image suddenly popped into Colin’s mind: a shadow loomed above, and a rope, emerging from nowhere within the darkness, dropped down, snaring his neck in less than 0.1 seconds…

And then, it pulled with force.

Amidst a snapping sound,

Colin was hoisted up into the air.

“This prop effect, why does it feel somewhat familiar…”

As thoughts flashed by, Colin didn’t dwell on it; he was about to shout a warning and prepare to dodge when he heard “Fuer Mushroom” next to him speak first, “Righteous Father is in danger, get down!”

As he spoke, Fuer Mushroom swung his fist upward with force, sending a shockwave that dispersed the shadow overhead.

With the disappearance of the shadow, the rope vanished as well.

However, that attack seemed to be just a feint. While he was distracted, multiple illusory figures emerged from thin air, rushing towards Colin and continuously expanding.

“Warning! High-energy incoming!” Little Maid’s voice transmitted, inquiring whether to counterattack.

In this critical moment, “No.7 Little Chicken” on the other side suddenly shifted form, transforming into an upright werewolf, with a large string of prayer beads around its neck.

The beads, with a pale golden glow, adorned and reinforced its body, giving it the appearance of a golden werewolf.

Then, it threw itself on top of Colin, using its flesh and blood to block the explosion.

“Boom!”

After the explosion, “No.7 Little Chicken” got up with its back a mangled mess of blood and flesh. Despite the damage, it swung its golden claws, forcing an illusory figure from the air and tearing it apart before it could explode.

…

“Mutation-type blessings, suspected to be the aura of a Level 5 Ancient God Type. Moreover, from their reactions just now, one of them seems to have some form of death premonition…”

“… Continue probing. Starting now, reduce the frequency of fatal attacks from once every two seconds to understand the interval of this death premonition before arranging assassinations…”

“Having taken a few ‘Illusory Body Bursts,’ that werewolf-like creature shouldn’t last much longer. The Ancient God’s Aura is the biggest variable; it could attract ‘God Descent’: he should be dealt with as a priority…”

“Alright, let’s kill him first…”

“The way they are acting, it’s like they are intentionally dragging out the time? I have a bad feeling. We need to wrap this up quickly. Captain, how much longer before their shield is completely destroyed?”

“It’s a bit troublesome, but I can shatter that ability of his within ten minutes!”

“It’s weird, I always feel like they can predict our moves. No matter how many flaws we sell, they don’t bite. But I didn’t notice the ‘Fate’ being peeked at. What’s going on?”

“…Get me the ‘Book of Fate’ and see if they have any precognitive counter-surveillance measures…”

“What about the other carriages? Why haven’t they responded yet? Has someone cut us off?”

“Something’s not right; it seems like something’s going to happen in ten minutes. There’s a problem, and I can’t probe into anything…”

“If there’s still no response from the other carriages in five minutes, abandon all the seriously injured personnel, take the members that are still valuable, initiate an evacuation protocol, and jump into the grey mist. I’ll cover the rear, and you guys evacuate. Don’t worry, these people aren’t strong, I can hold them down on my own, they can’t kill me, and unless something unexpected happens, I’ll catch up.”

“Got it!”

“…”

“These people are quick observers…”

Colin was internally surprised; this group not only quickly figured out their abilities, they also immediately made arrangements, and from beginning to end, everything was orderly and decisive.

Mistakes were occasional, but the speed of their corrections was very fast.

With their coordination, even maintaining a stalemate was difficult, let alone a counterattack.

And there was a critical point, all the “counterattack” opportunities that were currently visible were all deliberately exposed by the adversaries.

However, with time passing by, after a few minutes, the brainwave transmissions within the team became less frequent, gradually turning into chaos and noise, with incomprehensible roars starting to dominate…

It was at this moment, a D Level personnel suddenly dropped the tool in his hand.

His eyes bloodshot in an instant, he charged our way with a half-crawling, half-running gait, his face ferocious like a deranged monster…

Simultaneously, the flame of the greatsword wielded by the man vanished.

Though he still held the tool, it no longer triggered any explosive effects with the flames; his attacks could now be said to be without any technique, simply holding the sword and swinging it wildly.

The pressure on everyone began to greatly lessen!

Finally, as the transmissions within the team came to a complete halt, the “Son of Sadomasochism” stopped “dancing”, and on his skin, one after another, bizarre purple tattoos emerged, with two new pairs of arms stretching out from under his armpits…

“Kill!”

As his voice fell, he dropped his protection, and everyone armed with tools and weapons counterattacked these deranged beasts in human skin!

Though the beasts were still fearsome, it was like armed hunters facing wild beasts.

The battle didn’t bring much suspense…

Just ten minutes later, they had successfully killed the enemy one by one.

[Prepare to rejoin the second detached carriage in one hour.]

As this message appeared, everyone collapsed on the ground, exhausted.

The investigation of the first carriage was thus completed.

Colin looked over the people present, deployed the Nano Intellectual Mechanism, and began to heal the group.

In this battle, they indeed honored their promise; he fell into “traps” multiple times yet the enemy never managed to touch him directly…

And the most severely injured “Little Chicken” took several blasts to protect him, with one sword qi puncturing his hand clean off—

If Colin hadn’t kicked him at the crucial moment, it would have been his head flying off.

To be honest, he was quite moved.

However, as he helped everyone recover from their injuries, Colin turned to look at the corpses of the D Level personnel scattered everywhere, eyes unblinkingly dead, and inexplicably felt a wave of sorrow…

These people truly died too pitifully.
