Chapter 1515: Wind Rises in North America 3

~8 min read 1,581 words

Capital Safe Zone, outskirts.

Besides some meaningless roars of zombies, this city, seemingly abandoned, in the afterglow of the setting sun, looks like a dying old man.

Under multiple sacrifices by alien species, even though this place once had a population of over a hundred million, now it is sparsely populated.

Having concealed his tracks, the Overlord of Annihilation at this moment, like a soundless ghost, swiftly swept over the outskirts' sky.

"The number of mutants and zombies... has indeed decreased a lot!"

At a glance, it looks like a dead city.

Not only are there no humans, but even monsters are less than half.

His heart trembled.

Upon first seriously scouting the outskirts of the capital, the Annihilator finally discovered with a startled heart that he had actually been overlooking this place all along!

Not just a lot fewer; in fact, over a third of the mutants have vanished completely!

The corpse tide that originally surrounded the capital's urban area even more instinctively spread outward.

Thinking of the group of third-stage mutants staying near the North Sea, Gao Yin finally realized that those mutants were not relocated by him, but were literally scared away!

Speaking of it, it's ridiculous.

As an Overlord of alien species, he knows little about what happened after the alien species descended upon Earth.

Besides knowing Earth's general situation from the records left behind, he knows what the alien species once did.

Moreover, he actually failed to notice any abnormality right under his nose!

"A 'mutant' that attacks and kills mutants? And even devours corpses?"

"A special monster that moves with a zombie tide and actively attacks other mutants upon encounter?"

His eyes flickered.

While searching for the so-called monster, the Overlord of Annihilation furrowed his brows.

After agreeing to the conditions of that group of high-stage mutants, he felt that the trouble they wanted him to solve sounded truly bizarre.

"Able to strengthen by devouring mutants... abnormally brutal... and even hide himself.."

"This sounds so much like..."

"Roar!!!"

Without giving the Overlord of Annihilation time to think further.

In an instant, a cry of extreme pain, broken and intermittent, came from within a collapsed building.

This is...

Instantly he identified the roar as coming from a mutant.

But in the Annihilator's perception, he actually detected no sign of another monster.

One was howling in pain, under attack...

"Boom!!!"

How swift his thoughts!

Realizing the problem, the Overlord of Annihilation simply stopped hiding himself. Seen at his Fourth Stage speed, his whole body became like a black line of teleportation, suddenly smashing through building after building. He rushed forward in nearly the shortest straight line.

A distance of less than a kilometer passed in an instant.

Accompanied by the sound of buildings gradually collapsing and shattering, the Overlord of Annihilation flying at over ten times the speed of sound had already instantly reached the target location.

The next second, inside a financial skyscraper at the edge of his vision.

One mutant was desperately clawing at cars on the ground, but its lower half was still being dragged into the building's parking lot entrance by a huge mutant, which at this moment was the source of the wails.

Its whole body trembled, its rotting flesh like a skin suit.

Under the pulling of the unknown monster, it was actually scraped off the ground, peeling away alive.

A crimson skull burst through the scalp; though it was a monster, its eyes at this moment were likewise filled with fear.

Unknown whether another monster hidden in the underground parking lot possesses a paralyzing attack.

As half of its body seemed to be devoured by darkness, its howling from the mouth gradually weakened.

"Boom!!!"

Instantly arrived!

Noticing that an unknown monster was devouring mutants right under his nose.

The Overlord of Annihilation was both shocked and angry, instantly realizing that this monster he couldn't perceive was very likely the "enemy" feared by those mutants!

"Sha!!"

The power of Annihilation instantly erupted.

Facing an invisible monster, the Overlord of Annihilation simply launched an attack straight away, blasting it out first and talking later!

In an instant, a massive amount of rule-based power suddenly condensed.

Although he didn't use too much power, as a destructive blast instantly struck the building's interior, a startled and angry shriek suddenly rang out.

Fearing death, it no longer bothered to continue devouring.

At the instant the attack arrived, the other monster that had been dragging this mutant to prepare a feast simultaneously sensed the danger.

With a "boom", it leapt out of the parking lot and, turning, fled at top speed in the opposite direction!

Agile and nimble, like a skinning monkey.

The Overlord of Annihilation blinked in surprise.

He had never before seen a mutant so small in form.

After regaining his composure, seeing the opponent already fleeing at great speed, he simply gave chase as well.

However, what surprised him was that this monster, though its speed was comparable to Fourth Stage, showed no spiritual energy fluctuations all over its body. It looked merely like a physically strong being, extremely similar to those aberrants!

But... why is its size so tiny!? He had noticed that this guy, in just those few seconds, had swallowed down dozens of times its own body mass in flesh and blood!

What the hell is this thing!?

「Boom!!! 」

Seeing the opponent about to escape from under his nose, the Annihilation Overlord was both shocked and angry.

Damn it, given that he didn't dare to unleash his full power, this monster he actually couldn't quite keep up with!

No time to worry about that!

With an icy expression, he took a deep breath, simply released a portion of his power, and sped up again! With the aura bursting out, he locked onto the target directly.

The pressure from a higher rank against a lower one should be able to intimidate the opponent!

However, this was beyond the Annihilator's expectation.

As he tried to lock onto this monster with no aura whatsoever, the monster seemed to sense his strength, and its speed actually increased again!

His whole body darted rapidly through the ruins, looking utterly absurd.

His heart sank; seeing that the monster's speed was comparable to a mid Fourth Stage, the Annihilation Overlord's expression grew even uglier.

Killing intent surged.

Thinking of all the recent misfortunes, he couldn't help but become angry.

"Do you really think... you can escape!?"

He didn't dare to go all out, for fear of attracting the system's attention again!

But this doesn't mean that the Annihilator can't handle a monster of this level!

「Boom!!! 」

In an instant, a black light wave shot out suddenly.

One minute.

Looking down at the humanoid monster whose legs had been obliterated by him on the ground.

The Annihilation Overlord's eyes were full of astonishment; despite having seen many special races, looking at the blood person still desperately struggling on the ground, he couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.

"It's actually pure physical strength..."

"Moreover... it even carries Term: Faith Power? What kind of faith? Faith in what?"

"Its healing speed is also terrifyingly high..."

He slowly descended onto the blood person's head, Gao Yan clicked his tongue in wonder, also understanding why that group of Mutants feared this peculiar monster so much.

No aura, no spiritual energy fluctuations whatsoever.

Its devouring ability is extremely strong, its self-healing speed terrifying, and after consuming a target it can convert flesh and blood power at the fastest speed.

Such a peculiar monster truly opened his eyes.

With such a tiny size, for Mutants who habitually judge strength by aura and volume,

Running into this guy, they would have no vigilance at all.

"This monster, how does it look like a skinned person?"

In the vast universe, nothing is strange; while marveling at the opponent's peculiarity, the Annihilation Overlord also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Fortunately, this monster is fast, full of vitality, and can even burst out with mid Fourth Stage speed at most.

But in terms of overall combat power, with no energy at all, it's essentially early Fourth Stage.

Catching it, however, is not difficult.

The only thing he finds hard to understand is that a faint Term: Faith Power is hidden within the opponent's body. Or rather, a power similar to Term: Faith Power...

But looking at this monster's appearance, it doesn't seem to have a brain at all...

Just as the Annihilation Overlord hesitated whether to kill the opponent and directly fulfill the Mutants' demand, or first study it a bit.

A hoarse roar suddenly left him stunned in place.

"Lin An...!! Lin An!!..."

"Eat.."

"Ice!!"

Fuck!?

What the hell!?

His pupils suddenly contracted.

Hearing the roar of this blood-person monster, the Annihilation Overlord's expression instantly turned to great shock.

Damn it!? What the hell!? This monster just chanted Lin An's name!?

To him, the two words 'Lin An' were like a nightmare, terrifying.

However, before the Annihilator could even recover from his shock, while he was trying to figure out why the monster kept shouting Lin An's name,

"Whoosh!"

The next second.

All that could be seen was like a flexible red snake.

The blood-person monster he had stepped under his feet actually fled suddenly, like a snake, madly escaping to the south.

Damn it!

Realizing his lapse, he had actually let the opponent escape, and the Annihilation Overlord hurriedly gave chase.

In that moment, his mind was filled with ten thousand questions!
