“Let’s not worry about what this monster is anymore. Quickly, use your supernatural power with me to destroy it. If it gets out, many people will definitely die.”
Hearing his colleague’s words and seeing the monster before him, the seasoned member of the Special Affairs Bureau knew where it came from and understood the destruction it would cause if left unchecked. He had no time to explain what this thing was to his colleague and only urged him to quickly join forces and use their supernatural abilities to eliminate it.
Upon hearing this, the younger Bureau member was momentarily stunned. But seeing his seasoned colleague activate his own power, he immediately snapped to attention and began gathering his supernatural energy.
“Are you a human?”
The seasoned Bureau member shouted a seemingly puzzling question towards the monster not far away.
Hearing the inquiry, the monster in the distance—though still retaining some shreds of reason—was heavily influenced by the bestial madness of the abyssal creature within it. It completely ignored the question, let out an angry roar, and charged straight at him.
The lack of a response was actually within the seasoned agent’s expectations.
So, the very next second, he uttered two words from his mouth.
“Behead!”
As soon as the words left his lips, the seasoned agent’s face instantly turned deathly pale. His steps became unsteady, making him look like someone who had pulled several all-nighters in a row.
As for the monster charging towards him with a roar, it suffered as well. Its entire neck was slashed open by a mysterious, inexplicable force into a deep gash right after he spoke those words. Just a bit deeper, and the bone would have been visible.
“Are you okay?”
Noticing the changes in both the distant monster and his seasoned colleague, the younger agent—who hadn’t yet released his own power to attack—hurriedly asked with concern in his voice.
“I’m fine. I just can’t use my power for a while. What about the monster? Did it stop?”
“The monster has stopped for now. After you used that verbal command, a deep gash appeared on its neck, but it wasn’t completely severed as you said it would be.”
Hearing the younger agent’s report, the seasoned member showed no surprise on his face, having already sensed this would be the outcome from the feeling when he used his power.
“Can you find a way to restrain its movements now?”
“Now that it’s heavily injured, I should be able to invade its mind relatively easily. Even if I can’t completely control it, I should be able to disrupt its actions.”
“Good. Then it’s up to the Director and the powerful little friend’s reinforcements.”
Hearing the young agent’s reply and thinking of Bai Yuling and Si Yexing, who hadn’t yet made a move, the seasoned agent—knowing they were far stronger than the two of them—said this to his colleague.
Just as the two Bureau members were openly talking while taking cover, the monster—though grievously wounded by the seasoned agent’s verbal command, not critically so—grew increasingly furious.
Clearly aware of what caused its severe injury, the monster, after a brief pause, charged once more at the seasoned agent.
Seeing the monster, despite the heavy wound inflicted by his colleague’s power, largely unaffected and charging again towards his colleague, Bai Yuling—who knew this colleague’s skill level wasn’t much lower than her own—couldn’t help but feel grateful that Yan Qi had brought along a reinforcement from the Free Life Association today. Otherwise, everyone here, including herself, probably wouldn’t make it out of the Western Hills Cemetery alive.
After this moment of silent gratitude, knowing she couldn’t just watch the monster attack her colleague without doing anything, Bai Yuling activated her own power. She controlled the stones of various sizes around her, accelerated them for a moment, and then hurled them at the monster.
Feeling numerous impacts on its right side, though its defense wasn’t breached, the monster felt its dignity was being challenged and couldn’t help but grow enraged.
So, it abandoned the seasoned agent who had dealt it a heavy blow but hadn’t followed up with further attacks, and instead charged towards Bai Yuling.
Watching the monster rush at her, Bai Yuling—who had thrown the stones precisely to get its attention—showed no trace of fear on her face.
Quickly, she drew a collapsible spear from her waist. Then, using her power, she reduced her own weight to the minimum. Immediately after, leveraging her enhanced physique as a superhuman, she boosted her speed to a level ordinary superhumans could hardly reach, swiftly closing the distance to the nearby monster.
After a single pass, a huge gash appeared on the monster’s body, gushing vast amounts of yellowish blood—a disgustingly gruesome sight.
Arriving behind the monster and turning to look at the wound she had inflicted, Bai Yuling’s expression didn’t relax in the slightest, because she knew clearly that this monster likely still had supernatural abilities it hadn’t used yet.
Suffering another serious injury—though still not fatal—the monster felt its dignity was further damaged, and its fury burned even hotter.
So, the next second, it instinctively unleashed a certain powerful supernatural force that someone had stored within it. It awakened all the corpses and skeletons within hundreds of meters that should have slept eternally in the cemetery, causing them to claw their way out of their graves.
Sensing the sudden surge of power from the monster, everyone present finally understood its exact level of danger. Previously, the monster’s aura hadn’t been very distinct, so they hadn’t been sure which star-level it corresponded to.
“A Three-Star level monster? No, it’s close, but not quite.”
“A peak Two-Star supernatural monster? How could it possibly create so many other monsters with strength equivalent to One-Star superhumans?”
“This is going to be troublesome.”
Staring at the monster not far away and the surrounding corpses and skeletons that had now encircled their group, the Bureau members present couldn’t help but murmur among themselves.
