Chapter 661: Chapter 489: The Terrifying Enemy from ‘Bonfire’!_1 Chapter 661: Chapter 489: The Terrifying Enemy from ‘Bonfire’!_1 “Unless something unexpected happens… they have indeed mostly been slaughtered…”

Akasha shook her head uncertainly, also looking at the piles of burning bodies. From the initial shock to now, she felt somewhat numb…

Originally, she thought that the power displayed by the “Bonfire” emissary was the result of some kind of outburst.

It turned out to be the other party’s normal level…

“We need some more help here, there aren’t enough hands to handle the blood,” Orange Cat’s voice suddenly came through, interrupting the thoughts of the two.

“Okay.” Vini, who was beside Akasha, looked around and seemed to notice there weren’t many helpers around.

So, she rolled up her sleeves, stepped forward, and started chopping up the burning mutated bodies, squeezing out the blood to help it burn better.

After all, although the mutated bodies were dead, their flesh and blood still possessed an extraordinary toughness.

They were not easy to deal with.

In the bustle of activity, a few more hours passed.

Following the final mutated body thudding onto the earth, they finally had enough raw material for blood extraction.

“Whew, that’s tiring…”

Colin exhaled, descended from mid-air, took out a “Colorless Crystal” to absorb, and used it to alleviate the fatigue on his body, which seemed tired but not really tired.

‘That being said…’

While Colin was absorbing the “Colorless Crystal” and adjusting his own status, he gazed upon this world.

In his recent killings, he discovered something quite interesting.

In this accursed place, although there were many mutated bodies with various bizarre abilities, it seemed as though all of them were bound by some strange restriction that prevented any anomaly in the entire world from reaching the strength of a Level 2 Containment Subject.

Colin had run over a thousand kilometers at his farthest and hadn’t seen any.

Though a thousand kilometers might be a small scale for the entire world, during this process, no matter how far he sensed, he could not detect any threat from the mutated creatures, which suggested something was amiss…

‘Many ‘mutated bodies’ appear to have had their strength suppressed…’

Colin thought it over, wondering if the missing Administrator had done something, otherwise, such a situation seemed unlikely.

However, before he could ponder any further, he suddenly felt someone approaching.

“Please, have a seat…” A “Night” power user approached respectfully with a wooden chair.

“Thank you.”

Colin thanked him, without any pretense, drew the chair closer, and sat down.

Then, looking at the young man standing before him who had not yet walked away and appeared shy, he inquired with a smile, “If you have something to ask, just speak up.”

Encouraged by him, the young man mustered the courage to speak: “Sir, I would like to ask if we have a chance… to follow ‘Bonfire’…”

Whoops, betrayal, oh, is conversion coming this quickly?

Colin did not immediately answer; his gaze, while fixed on the young man, could see through him to the group sneaking peeks from within the train carriages not far behind.

Even Akasha, despite being quite a distance away, seemed to be eavesdropping.

At this moment, seeing Colin suddenly fall silent without a word, the young man’s heart surged with panic and his mind went blank, unsure if he had said something wrong.

But fortunately, at that moment, Colin spoke up:

“I… I wish to have power like yours so that I can protect our people well. With such strength, I could explore a vaster world, whether by staying here or leaving; everything would be much easier…”

“And, I’ve found that the power of ‘Bonfire’ seems to be more suitable for us, no, for all humanity. It doesn’t dampen the user’s emotions but naturally makes one feel warm…”

“Bathed in the light of the flames, for the first time, I truly understood what it means to be human…”

The young man cloaked in black did not speak of faith or the like, but rather began practically, slightly hesitant at first, but then speaking more fluidly as he went on.

However, the far-off eavesdroppers widened their eyes when they heard his words.

“Why didn’t he follow the script from before, seeking Bonfire, praising him, saying we have seen the error of our ways…”

“It’s all over, ‘Bonfire’ is being talked about as if it’s just a tool…”

“If he’s this direct, the other party won’t accept it, I knew I should have gone up…”

“…”

A group of people whispered in hushed tones.

“Haha, pretty honest, but there’s nothing about ‘Bonfire’ worth following.”

Colin said with a laugh and a shake of his head. Hearing his words, the young man felt a sense of loss and subconsciously thought he was being rejected. But before his disappointment could show on his face, in the next second, the young man heard Colin continue:

“‘Bonfire’ is right here; there’s no need for following or not following. Simply walk with me and you will receive Pass the Flame… There’s no need to follow…”

The young man was stunned, his face showing joy, while also sensing that the other’s words offered a new path.

“Walk with the Flame”!

At the same moment, Colin flicked his finger, and a spark soared skyward.

Bursting with brilliance in mid-air, it rained down the utmost warmth…

Gazing at that orb of flame, and even though the “Night” power within him felt a bit uncomfortable from being suppressed, his human instinct craved more warmth.

In a moment, the young man’s eyes brimmed with tears, and going with the flow, he honestly spilled everything about the script, effectively ratting out the entire group in the carriage.

He really was a born betrayer… Colin shook his head and continued:
