Chapter 2588: As expected of Apocalypse

In the central area of the swamp, more than thirty contractors surrounded the two giant apes. Strangely, these contractors did not take action to besiege these two giant apes.

The Illusionist stood on the black ape's shoulder. If one observed carefully, one would find a semi-transparent pocket watch floating beside him, and the only second hand on it was jumping.

Click, click~

With the jumping of the second hand, the expressions of the two giant apes gradually became ferocious. The Illusionist could not influence them for much longer.

An afterimage rushed from afar. It was Mu Xiao. At this time, her attire had completely changed. She was wearing a long coat with a hood, and parts such as her arms and waist were bound by locks, and the hood she wore was pressed very low.

"Original Sin · Punishment Scythe."

Mu Xiao's right hand gripped the void, and a large amount of blood gushed out from the wound in her palm, forming a blood-colored giant scythe.

Mu Xiao gripped the blood-colored giant scythe with both hands, flipped her body with the momentum of rushing forward, and slashed a scythe at the white ape in front.

With a whoosh, a huge blood-colored streak slashed on the white ape's chest. The blankness in its eyes disappeared immediately, but the sharp pain from its chest almost made it lie directly on the ground.

With a loud boom, the white ape sat paralyzed on the ground, its huge palm blocking in front of it, and a deafening roar came from its mouth.

After slashing this scythe, Mu Xiao's face was somewhat pale, and she disappeared into the air after a few leaps back. This was clearly an ability that exceeded her body's load and required a period of time to recover.

Although Mu Xiao retreated, the contractors surrounding the two giant apes did not watch the fun. The first to attack was a laser-like energy beam, which blasted on the white ape's head.

With a thud, energy pulses overflowed. This blinding white energy beam seemed to have locked onto the white ape's head and began to burn continuously.

The burnt smell of hair instantly dispersed. The white ape rolled on the ground in pain, covering its head with one hand, while the battle hammer in the other hand smashed wildly.

Various attacks blasted on the white ape's body, and dark blue flames spread all over its body, starting continuous burning. A fish spear over five meters long pierced through its body, and the contractor holding the fishing rod leaned back with all his might, retreating step by step.

According to normal circumstances, Mu Xiao's blood scythe should have at least seriously injured this extraordinary white ape, which was second only to a Hegemon creature, and 'Jealousy Sin' would deepen the damage suffered by the white ape within a certain period of time. The white ape should have died by now.

The white ape not only didn't die, but instead splashed water everywhere on the ground, mud water flying wildly. Looking at that force, where did it look like it was about to die.

With a bang, the battle hammer swung wildly by the white ape smashed onto the black ape's back, and the Illusionist standing on the black ape's shoulder felt a burst of dizziness.

"Not good."

Just as the Illusionist finished speaking, a giant hand covered in black hair grabbed him. After this giant hand squeezed hard, it threw the Illusionist in its hand fiercely into the mud water on the ground.

Thud.

Like a cannonball landing, the contractors who witnessed this scene all twitched their cheeks. They all suspected whether the Illusionist would just die like this.

With a boom, the black ape stepped into the mud water where the Illusionist had fallen, and it seemed that it was not enough to vent its hatred, so it jumped up and stepped again.

Thud!

The ground trembled, and the splashed mud water slowly fell. In the falling mud water, the black ape's body was trembling. It grabbed the white ape beside it with one hand and pulled the white ape up from the ground.

"Roar! x2"

The black and white apes roared at the same time. The contractors around felt a buzz in their brains, and water droplets were shaken up from the shallow water under their feet.

After completing the 'Combo Skill · Couple Roar', the black and white apes jumped up at the same time, and the battle hammers in their hands smashed toward the contractors in front.

"Holy Dragon Mountain."

At the same time as a roar spread, a golden energy giant shield appeared, blocking in front of several contractors.

Two giant hammers fell, and the next moment it was quiet. It wasn't that there was no sound, but because the sound was too loud, the nearby contractors experienced temporary deafness.

The energy giant shield collapsed, and the black and white apes were shaken back. The white ape among them almost collapsed to the ground. It was already at the end of its rope and only survived because of the life force provided by the black ape.

The white ape put down the battle hammer in its hand, stabbed its own chest with one hand, and amidst blood splashing, it took out its own heart and threw it to the black ape.

The black ape swallowed this huge heart in one bite. Its left hand reached out and grabbed the battle hammer on the ground. Its originally black and shiny hair changed, and the tips of the hair turned grayish-white.

The black ape holding double hammers roared and pounced toward the contractors. At this time, the contractors' heads were still a bit dizzy. The other abilities of the two apes were not too terrible, but every time they roared, it was a large-scale non-judgment control, which really disgusted them.

Only then did the contractors realize that the Hegemon battle had just begun.

"Brothers, it's seriously injured, charge with me."

The tank-type tough guy who had just released the golden energy holy shield roared. As his shout fell, three contractors near him turned and ran.

The holy shield tough guy felt as if ten thousand wild donkeys were galloping through his heart. The Hegemon battle had just begun, and several of his own teammates actually ran away. Preliminary estimation, those who ran seemed to be contractors from Apocalypse and Holy Light.

"This is really damn Apocalypse."

After the holy shield tough guy cursed, he resolutely rushed toward the black ape. The melee began. Before long, those contractors who had fled returned and rejoined the battle group.

On a low hillside not far away, the Illusionist, covered in mud, was sitting on it, his face not looking very good. The black ape was stronger than expected, but with things developing to this point, if the black ape wasn't killed today, the hundred-person team plan would be a delusion.

"Mu Xiao, leave that guy to you. Don't fight him to the death, just beat him back temporarily. If you die, I can't suppress these people who have their own thoughts."

The Illusionist spoke. After using the ability just now, he had already sensed that Su Xiao was nearby. This was actually an ability he borrowed, and the price was high, but looking at it now, it was worth it.

"You trust me so much?"

A female voice appeared near the Illusionist.

"No, he said you are trustworthy."

"Heh~, being trusted by him will lead to death. I don't want to have anything to do with him."

After Mu Xiao left behind words with unclear meaning, she approached the direction where Su Xiao was in a hidden state.

What Mu Xiao and the Illusionist didn't notice was that Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, who had merged into the environment, was near them.

Behind the stone pillar a hundred meters away, Su Xiao was slowly chewing the Soul Crystal Fragment in his mouth. He had already learned through the information sent by Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang that he was exposed. Similar to his guess, the Illusionist had an ability that could detect in a large range. This ability could distinguish the difference between contractors and creatures of this world. This should be the main reason why the Illusionist could recruit so many contractors in a short time.

The other party's ability could not only detect, but just now it also made the two apes confused for at least ten seconds, but after the two apes were attacked, that ability was immediately lifted.

Su Xiao came this time not to grab the treasure chest and the black ape's heart at the last moment. Those present were all Seventh Tier contractors and would have precautions against such things.

Su Xiao didn't come to grab the treasure chest this time, but to 'help' the Illusionist and others deal with the Hegemon creature. However, the 'helper' he summoned didn't distinguish between friend and foe.

A pitch-black key appeared in Su Xiao's hand. He made a throwing posture and threw the black key in his hand near the black ape.

Just as Su Xiao threw the key, his trail was completely exposed. The black key flipped in mid-air and finally stopped a few meters from the ground.

A stained metal giant door appeared, the black key was embedded in the card slot on the giant door, and black smoke gushed out from the gaps on the four sides of the metal giant door.

The metal giant door opened, and a large amount of black smoke gushed out from inside. Vaguely, one could see a pair of black-red eyes in the black smoke.

Su Xiao had fought against many strong enemies, and the only one who could cut him to the point of depression was the Butcher of Souls. That's right, he summoned the Butcher of Souls.

This time was different from previous summons. In the past, the strong summoned using props would have a gain effect on the summoned object if the summoner's intelligence or charisma attribute was high.

The Butcher of Souls was different. When summoning it, the higher the summoner's charisma attribute, the weaker the Butcher of Souls' combat power. Conversely, the lower the summoner's charisma attribute, the stronger the Butcher of Souls. At its strongest, it could reach Seventh Tier top combat power, but the Butcher of Souls had a shortcoming: it didn't distinguish between friend and foe.

Su Xiao wanted to know what kind of combat power the Butcher of Souls summoned with his 0.2 charisma attribute would have. ===== CHAPTER 2589 =====
