Chapter 246: Hunting (5800 Added)

"As expected... first creating a clone, then using shadows to attack; the Beast of Darkness is still so stupid, its attack patterns are always the same old tricks."

"This beast has completely lost its sanity, but... it happens to be equivalent to the purest 'Darkness' Fourth Primordial Substance Extraordinary!"

Aaron ignored the panicked Langley and Luosi, opened the cylinder of his Zoulun, and began replacing the special bullets.

Before, he had only been using Radiant Bullets to go through the motions.

But now it was different!

He needed to hunt this Beast of Darkness as a resource for his own advancement!

'My disguise is about to be blown.'

A strike with the power equivalent to a Non-human combatant!

It effectively repelled the Beast of Darkness, causing that woman's head to howl, drop the professor, and shift its attention to Aaron.

"And that Magical Item that can release insects, it can Rend the darkness, it is definitely Non-human Grade... Great... Gelin is that 'Craftsman'!"

The woman's head glanced at Aaron seriously, and her entire body elegantly submerged into the shadows.

On the other side, the invisible swarm of insects also dispersed, revealing Aaron's true body.

Aaron shot himself with a 'Ghoul's Embrace' again, drew the 'Crying Blade', and charged forward expressionlessly.

Those high-temperature flames landed on the raincoat like raindrops, sliding off the body of the Beast of Darkness without causing the slightest harm.

Only the pocket watch in his hand was still emitting a faint glow, as if it were the final protection.

The professor's expression was pained, and pitch-black flames seemed to be seeping from his eyes; clearly, he could no longer continue fighting.

——Evil Spirit Curse Bullet!

Most of the woman's skull was blown away, brains splattering everywhere.

'Hmm, it's best not to expose my identity as an Evil Spirit if I can help it.'

This was also just a clone!

And when Aaron turned around, the true main body of the Beast of Darkness leaped out from the shadows; the woman's head bore an expression of extreme madness and destruction, letting out a roar.

They, along with Langley, had been induced into the deepest madness within their hearts!

At this moment, Aaron reached into his bosom and pulled out a pitch-black box—Roberts' Magical Insect Box!

Buzz!

This was a special bullet Aaron had made using Nicholas, who had been contaminated by Roberts!

Just as the Beast of Darkness was repelled, Alexander's furry arms suddenly became incomparably thick, and he lifted a boulder and smashed it toward the Beast of Darkness.

Aaron chanted an Incantation of the Spirit World, summoning vast swathes of pure white Light, which flooded this area like a tide.

Inside its body, pitch-black flames burned fiercely, repairing the wounds from the previous Insect Pupa bullets and turning those insects into ash.

'It's not a disguise I made myself, so it doesn't matter if it's blown...'

'Of course, if that doesn't work, I'll prioritize seizing the remains of 'Darkness'; as for these Extraordinaries, I'll just silence them...'

In the darkness, the surfaces of Luosi and Alexander's bodies were stained with a layer of shadow, their faces twisted as they began to struggle against the influence of 'Corruption'.

Bang!

This bullet accurately hit the head of the Beast of Darkness, and the cold aura of an Evil Spirit exploded outward.

Pop!

Aaron's entire body dispersed, turning into countless tiny insects.

——Shadow Shift!

The next second, a pitch-black claw reached out from the shadow behind Aaron, attempting to pierce Aaron's heart from behind!

Langley held a rapier, guarding the professor on one side while dragging him to retreat.

The orange Fireball landed on the Beast of Darkness, and a scene that made Luosi's eyes widen occurred.

Then, a ball of orange flame appeared on each of her hands, landing where the Beast of Darkness was dodging, executing a sophisticated coordination with Alexander.

But clearly, they were also in precarious danger under the attacks of the Beast of Darkness.

At this time, the stronger the companions, the more likely they were to survive.

At this moment, the Beast of Darkness let out another roar.

——'Non-burning' trait!

If it were Aaron, he certainly wouldn't use fire abilities to deal with the Beast of Darkness!

'Wait, I never disguised anything; it's just that others assumed I had a 'Craftsman' behind me...'

He held the revolver, aimed at the head of the Beast of Darkness, and pulled the trigger.

Clang!

The Beast of Darkness pounced on the shield, turning into raging flames.

An Invisible Spell was cast again, and a ball of pitch-black flaming Fireball smashed fiercely into Aaron's back.

'A Non-human Existence must have a background; it would be bad to attract attention and investigation.'

Accompanied by the sound of vibrating wings, vast swathes of Demon insects flew out of the insect box; they could devour all tangible and intangible things, and the mouthparts of the black beetles directly tore through the dark canopy, revealing the original scene of Diate.

'But in reality, I am that 'Craftsman'!'

The eyes of the woman's head on the Beast of Darkness turned pitch-black in an instant, and it let out a roar from its throat.

It only had one roar, yet it seemed to condense countless syllables into it, turning it into an Incantation to trigger a Curse!

Langley watched this scene, feeling only surprise in his heart.

Aaron turned around rapidly, and the pitch-black beetles in front of him formed a strange metal shield.

Bang!

The boulder landed, easily avoided by the Beast of Darkness, but while Alexander was acting, the 'Witch' Luosi had already rapidly chanted an Invisible Spell, making the space seem to become viscous.

In an instant, a thick, impenetrable darkness centered on the Beast of Darkness spread violently in all directions.

"This ability to utilize radiance, he... he is definitely an Extraordinary of the Third Primordial Substance... possessing the power after Sublimation!"

Aaron raised his gun and aimed at the Beast of Darkness.

'The role I must play is that of a "Craftsman" of the Third Primordial Substance, who can possess a Non-human Level Magical Item of unknown origin to conceal his identity, and use such combat power to kill the Beast of Darkness as much as possible!'

If he were of flesh and blood, he would likely have died on the spot after being so heavily wounded.

Countless syllables praising the Great Existence were condensed into a bestial roar, making it seem as if it had borrowed the blessing and protection of the "Fallen Corona" from the void, causing the surrounding darkness to deepen further and press down upon Aaron.

Bang!

Aaron fired suddenly, the bullet accurately hitting the Beast of Darkness.

However, the professor was in the form of a Spirit Body at this time and had no vital points, so he did not die immediately, but he suffered even more intense pollution and corruption from the Beast of Darkness, screaming incessantly while wrapped in Black Flame.

Luosi watched this scene, murmuring to herself.

Inside the Beast of Darkness, that bullet suddenly exploded, turning into countless specks of Light, like tiny insects, and began to gnaw at the black flames.

Aaron felt that he should not have to go that far; after all, his essence as an Evil Spirit would not change, and while he could not openly reveal the abilities of an Evil Spirit, there was absolutely no problem in utilizing the mobility and resistance of an Evil Spirit, and coupled with his extraordinary understanding of the Beast of Darkness, there was still a very good chance of taking it down.

The woman's head on the Beast of Darkness aimed its only remaining eye at Aaron and let out another roar.

And at this moment, the professor was actually still screaming and wailing, yet he had not died!

"Light!"

At this time, the Beast of Darkness in the Spirit World was no longer just a Spirit World Creature, but also a kin of the "Fallen Corona"!

The surrounding darkness was like a cage, causing Aaron's figure, which was charging like the wind, to falter, making the onlookers Lan Li and the others unable to help but look full of despair.
