Chapter 723: The Monster Who Ascended Through Machinery

He immediately felt his soul being scorched, and he clenched his teeth, desperately trying to resist the searing pain.

But soon he felt his defenses beginning to weaken.

"Hurry, get out of here—I can't hold on much longer."

Luo En shouted loudly.

But no one had time to escape; the shockwave surged again.

Luo En felt a numb ache in his arms.

Boom—a deafening crash.

They were all blasted flying by the shockwave.

The girl's newly drawn runes were instantly extinguished by the shockwave.

She slammed hard onto the ground, unconscious.

Luo En rolled to his feet and shouted the names of Taiyirang and the others.

"Are you all right?"

Taiyirang responded with great difficulty.

He struggled to his feet, every part of his body throbbing with pain.

Taiyirang and Nainai both had considerable strength.

They used their twin blades to block part of the impact.

Though injured, they weren't seriously hurt.

Only the girl remained unconscious.

Luo En urgently told Nainai.

"Take care of her first—I'll go check on the other side."

The battle over there was still ongoing.

The monster showed no sign of fatigue; each strike was delivered with full force.

The man grew more alarmed with every clash, but escaping now was no longer easy.

This monster's strength was nearly equal to his own.

Zuo Tian Yiyun arrived beside him and said to Luo En.

"Perhaps we can use the mechanism to absorb their energy."

Luo En frowned slightly.

"But how can we get close to them? Even the residual power from their battle is unbearable."

Zuo Tian Yiyun said.

"We have to try."

As he spoke, he pulled out two fragments.

The cage had once contained tens of thousands of mechanisms.

Though the entire cage had been destroyed, the mechanisms inside remained intact.

Luo En gripped the mechanism, his expression turning grave.

He looked at Zuo Tian Yiyun.

"I need your help."

Zuo Tian Yiyun nodded.

Luo En said.

"We each approach one of them and attach this mechanism to their bodies."

As they cautiously neared the two fighters,

The black-robed man immediately became alert and turned to look at Luo En.

Luo En smiled and pointed at the monster.

"That's our pet."

The monster let out a furious roar and lunged straight at Luo En.

This caught Luo En off guard.

He hadn't expected the monster to possess its own awareness—it had understood his words.

Luo En silently cursed—he hadn't meant to invite disaster with a careless remark.

He quickly retreated, trying to evade the monster's attack.

But he hadn't anticipated the monster's power had far surpassed their expectations.

Luo En suddenly felt his body lift into the air, weightless, then crash heavily back to the ground.

As Luo En tried to rise, the monster reappeared before him.

Luo En's pupils contracted—the monster's speed was terrifying, nearly reaching its physical limits in both velocity and force.

Luo En gave everything he had to block it, yet the energy still threatened to shatter his body.

The black-robed man beside him said helplessly.

"Is that your pet? Then why is it attacking you?"

Luo En gritted his teeth and said.
