Chapter 1243: Mythical Creatures?

Lin An!

You're courting death!!

Inside the North American War Zone, the battlefield suddenly formed a bizarre scene.

One side is Lin An, sword in hand, standing aloof in midair as if waiting for something; the other side is a large group of Three Fourth Rank desperately fleeing, wishing to escape the battlefield.

Meanwhile, the other side, shocked and angry, could no longer hide their remnants.

The remnant at the forefront had a ferocious look; its original body suddenly burst open, turning into a huge monster.

Sharp fangs and a slender, hunched body close to the ground resembled the werewolf of Western legend.

Realizing Lin An was forcing them, unable to bear it any longer, they no longer cared whether their abilities differed from those of the Awakened Ones!

They clearly understood that Lin An intended to kill everyone!

Hiding is pointless now!

Hum

Like the werewolf remnant, a blonde female Awakened One closely following also revealed her true form.

A flash of gold flickered in her pupils; the next second, her standard combat uniform, as if bursting with light, instantly turned into golden scales.

Her elongated lower body directly turned into a thick snake tail.

Werewolf, Medusa, Behemoth...

As one strange form after another appeared, all the Awakened Ones fleeing on the battlefield were shocked, staring at the scene before them.

It was as if myth had descended; they had never seen such an unimaginable scene!

That's right; although many Awakened Ones have shapeshifting abilities, they are usually basic transformations, rarely resembling legendary beings.

The most common are turning into beasts or enlarging their bodies.

Beings like these mythic creatures before us, clearly bearing a special aura, inevitably make one think of the legendary entities in human history.

Isn't that Phelps?!

Isn't he the agility type?!

Is that Kore?! Why did he turn into a giant deer?!

In shock, many of the North American Three Fourth Rank familiar with these remnants couldn't help but cry out in surprise.

Having fought side by side for a long time, they were familiar with these people's abilities.

In past battles, these twenty-plus individuals kept a low profile, almost indistinguishable from any Three Fourth Rank, utterly unnoticeable. Even though many were High Level beings, their displayed abilities were nothing special.

Therefore, upon seeing this scene, many quick-reacting Awakened Ones immediately realized that these beings transformed into mythic creatures might not be human!

Especially that aura, several times stronger, obviously concealed their strength.

Are they all at least intermediate level?

Is the physique greatly enhanced, accompanied by special abilities?

Unlike the North American Awakened Ones, who felt a shocked sense of being deceived, Lin An, who had long been mentally prepared, showed little reaction.

He could sense that the strength of these remnants didn't seem too great; it was merely that their power differed greatly from that of the Awakened Ones.

No, it's the way of power.

He felt no scattered spiritual energy; rather, it was more of a bodily oppression.

Is it leaning toward bodily strengthening?

Is the spiritual energy hidden within the body, mutating one's physique? Or is it different at the genetic level?

Feeling a faint, unusual 'pressure,' Lin An's brows furrowed slightly.

This pressure gave him a feeling somewhat like the fear from a biological instinct.

It was as if, in his genes, these creatures had once slaughtered...

Indeed, have they slaughtered humans throughout history?

Relying on his extremely strong will, Lin An instantly dispelled this instinctive fear.

The battle erupted.

The werewolf that charged first had bloodshot eyes; its huge claws, swung high, left a blur of afterimages in the high-speed impact.

Seeing Lin An, who seemed stunned by them, he couldn't help but grin wickedly.

Their spiritual energy level, converted to Awakened One standards, might be only intermediate, at most high.

But their actual combat power far surpasses that of humans.

Their powerful bodies are more than three times that of peers of the same rank! Twenty-three remnants working together could tear Lin An before them to shreds!

Lowly humans!

Savor the wrath of the divine!

As if not speaking meant no battle, the snake-woman that followed burst with holy, dazzling light in her eyes, like a divine whisper; a strange, religious-toned voice instantly struck Lin An's heart. At the same time, a petrifying attack turned into a beam, shooting straight into Lin An's body.

Still standing unmoving.

As if ignoring all attacks.

After two layers of shields, Lin An indifferently watched the approaching 'gods.'

God?

He could tell from their demeanor and tone that this group of remnants seemed to despise humans from the bone.

In every move, there was a stiff 'ritual feel,' as if their combat style had to display divine traces.

Are these the aftereffects of playing god?

Lin An gave a light chuckle, and his previously still form instantly flickered.

Divine beings? Legendary creatures?

Just a bunch of trash!

Boom!!

Destroy!

Extreme stillness rotates.

In the body originally covered by stone carvings, Lin An casually shook off and broke free of the petrified state.

Although the opponent's attack method was far stronger than a third-rank skill, under the rules and double defense, Lin An only felt his body slightly sluggish.

Spirit energy consumption... 17%!

Spacetime rules stacked!

Dual swords slash out.

As two sword lights surged to hundreds of meters and suddenly slashed down, the wolfman at the forefront felt his muscles cut as easily as paper.

Jet-black blood spurted out; the metallic sword edge, like a saw, sliced his bones into pieces.

Ahhh!!

A tragic cry.

Feeling Lin An's power now fully unleashed, the survivors who had been full of confidence instantly lost their souls in terror.

No!

Lin An had still been hiding his strength!

This sword, they simply couldn't block it!

Moreover, Lin An, who earlier seemed only slightly hindered by a third-rank attack, now appeared uncontrolled, directly surpassing all their abilities!

Even the slowest-reacting survivors now realized that Lin An hadn't even unleashed one percent of his strength earlier!

This monster was waiting for them, waiting for them to deliver themselves to death!

Without pause.

After using the Destroy skill and a large amount of spirit energy, Lin An backhandedly slashed out again with a sword.

He rarely has moments when his combat power is fully unleashed.

Especially when facing the Awakened Ones.

Even though he previously killed Andre in an instant, he mostly pursued speed and precision, using all his abilities to strike at a single point for explosive effect.

Facing this group of survivors who considered themselves demigods, he only felt they were a joke.

A bunch of wastes who could only cower before the system could deceive pre-apocalypse humans, but putting on airs before him?

Do these wastes even deserve it?

With his current strength, ordinary third-rank power is over a hundred times weaker than him; it's not that he intentionally hides his strength, but rather no one can push him to use his full power!

Hum-hum-hum

With consecutive Blinks, Lin An was like a death god constantly teleporting from the void, each appearance erupting in a cloud of blood mist.

In just a few seconds, the survivors, originally as many as twenty-three, were halved in the blink of an eye.

"Is this the survivors Andre worried about?"

Dividing his attention.

I had thought it would be a splendid battle, a chance to witness the so-called survivors.

But after engaging them head-on, Lin An couldn't help but frown, feeling only disappointment.

Weak survivors.

Judging by strength, they are generally on par with the evil god in the Soviet Union dungeon.

Such strength might threaten ordinary third-rankers, being stronger than humans, but before him it poses no threat at all.

Did I overestimate them?

It doesn't even feel as threatening as the alien species.

After stepping on and crushing a giant deer, Lin An actually felt somewhat bored.

Too weak..

If he didn't have the constant rules, perhaps he would still be controlled by the survivors' chaotic abilities.

But now.. the abilities shouted by these guys are really useless..

It seems that, no matter how strong Andre's calculative abilities, he would still suffer from insufficient strength and could only hide?

Or perhaps, among the actual survivors, there exists a stronger being?
