World-saving Plan: The Only Savior

Chapter 223: Chapter 110 Esa, Death Apostle

Zhang Xiaoman was both shocked and surprised by what the monster had just said.

He hadn’t expected the Communication Skill Engraving he had left behind to actually come into play here, enabling him to understand what this monster was trying to convey.

Now, the creature had completely changed its appearance, its massive size bringing an even greater oppressive force, making the tall Star Guard seem like mere children before it.

Its hands were like hooks, its legs like steel needles, and compared to ordinary people, its limbs appeared extremely long.

At its chest, there were mouths full of sharp teeth, which opened and closed as if choosing someone to devour, much like a nightmare.

This scene had also clearly been captured by the audience in the live stream, triggering a wave of astonishment.

"Holy shit! The monster is transforming! This must be its true form! It seems that the Scarecrow from before was just a disguise!"

"Damn it, how can a human deal with such a terrifying creature? Hey, where is the big shot from before? Host, give him some screen time!"

"This is so frustrating! Why does it feel so unreal? Am I dreaming right now?"

"Come on, who said this was a person in disguise? Step forward, I promise I won’t smack your face. Let’s see you try disguising as this thing?"

"Barrage Shield Barrage Shield Barrage Shield..."

"..."

The live stream was in an uproar, and at this point, Zhang Xiaoman also began to feel some pressure.

He didn’t know if the four Star Guards could take down the opponent, as the creature before him appeared far more concentrated than some monsters he had encountered before, according to his Spirit Detection Technique.

Based on his experience, under Dark World observation, the higher the concentration of the monster, the more points one would gain after absorbing it post-death, and the stronger the Combat Power.

Although in actual combat, one couldn’t rely solely on this combat power, as many factors such as environment and counters came into play.

However, clearly, this manifestation of combat power was an important criterion in assessing the situation of the battle.

If a distinction had to be made, then in his eyes, creatures like Little Refining Demon, Mineral Essence, and Horror Claw would be 1st level in strength, the Energy concentration of the Blood Butterfly would reach 3rd level, and the creature before him was at 2nd level, in between the two.

On the field, Zhang Xiaoman had already sent all four Star Guards forward to form a tight barrier in front of himself and the girl.

Song Shuting was extremely anxious at this moment. She wanted to step back, but to her horror, she found that she seemed to be unable to move.

"I, I can’t move! What, what should I do... wh-why..."

Zhang Xiaoman looked at her somewhat unexpectedly, speculating that the girl might have been subjected to some kind of control by the monster earlier.

He stepped forward twice, stopped in front of her, and planned to command the Star Guards to pull the battle site further away, to prevent her from getting involved.

This move immediately exposed him in the live stream.

Zhang Xiaoman was now bolstered by the Eternal Veil Skill, while his Polar Star Robe was left in the car.

Although the robe could speed up the automatic recovery of Dark Energy, it was equivalent to a drop in the bucket during combat and could hinder his movements, so it wasn’t convenient to wear.

After sensing his remaining Dark Energy, only 101 points were left. If he used the Soul Raiding Skill once more, he would have enough Energy to use the Constitution Increase.

But Zhang Xiaoman didn’t plan to do that, why should he rush in to fight the unknown monster himself when he has his minions present? He isn’t the kind of mage who specializes in close combat.

"Esa, this is not where you should be."

Zhang Xiaoman said to the monster in front of him, wanting to take this opportunity to try out the Communication Skill.

As expected, the monster seemed taken aback upon hearing these words. Then it opened its mouth and let out a hoarse roar.

"Esa...sa...hiss! Roar!!"

("Esa! Death! Angel Envoy!")

Zhang Xiaoman kept his gaze fixed on the other party, feeling confident that the Communication Skill was indeed useful through this exchange.

However, it seemed that the intelligence of the monster before him was not very high, as the meaning it expressed was quite limited.

Seeing the monster in front of him, snarling and seemingly angered by his words, he couldn’t help but curl his lips and said softly,

"Death Apostle, huh? You, a level 2 Mixed Soldier, are not worthy of such a title."

Obviously, the monster also heard this sentence. As for whether it could understand the meaning of ’Mixed Soldier,’ only heaven knew.

The scene unfolding on the field was also witnessed by the audience in the live stream, leading many to speculate about the seemingly conversational situation between the two parties.

"Oh my God, I finally see that big shot at the back! What on earth is he carrying? So cool!"

"Is this the legendary Transcendent? My heavens! He’s so cool, and those wearing armor too! Big shots, I want to have your babies!"

"Fan girl alert! He’s shrouded in black shadows, if the moon hadn’t come out and the host’s flashlight hadn’t shone right at him, I wouldn’t have even seen him. How can you tell he’s handsome?"

"This is a Transcendent! A real Transcendent! I feel so passionate all of a sudden! It’s like my blood is boiling."

"Did any of you notice that the big shot was apparently talking to the monster just now? And by his tone, he seems quite used to dealing with these things. Boys, does this make you think of anything? Anyway, I feel like I’m beginning to understand some things, this world isn’t what we imagined!"

"..."

While the live stream audience was still marveling at what they had seen, Zhang Xiaoman had already issued an attack command to the Star Guards, targeting the core on the monster’s chest.

The four Star Guards charged forward, and unlike in their previous fight, they seemed to form a small attack formation, cooperating with each other in a practiced manner, like comrades in life and death on the battlefield.

It was only now that he realized that the combat power of the Star Guards, once increased in number, wasn’t as simple as 2+2=4.

Under Zhang Xiaoman’s command, the Star Guards consciously directed the battlefield towards the distance, and soon the location of the fight moved away.

For a moment, the field was filled with the glimmer of weapons, with the Star Guards two constraining, one defending, and another lying in wait for an opportunity to strike a deadly sneak attack.

The monster showed ferocious bravery. Standing three meters tall, its long arms sweeping around could instantly cover a large area, forcing the Star Guards to dodge.

Any Star Guard who tried to confront it was immediately sent flying by its immense strength.

Although the limbs of the monster appeared relatively slender, when the Star Guards’ two-meter-long spears struck its body, they could not chop through but got embedded instead, and the wounds they inflicted were quickly repaired by the monster using its core.
