Chapter 544 The Devourer of All Things I
Pendormore was half destroyed by the previous disaster, and the star power on the planet was also rapidly disappearing.
The magic that sustains human civilization is failing, and life is slipping away unnoticed—soon, everything will come to an end.
"Whether you are trying to atone for humanity's sins or to resist death, you must at least understand the characteristics of your enemy."
In the deserted wilderness, Aarons and his companions were receiving their final instruction.
Huang Yayin, still wearing a loose robe and a black headscarf, still looked like a devout nun. Ye Xiao, dressed casually, squatted to the side, looking like a tired office worker slacking off.
But regardless of their appearance, they are now beings that are completely beyond the reach of humans.
"For us, words can never be more real than firsthand experience—so before we begin, let's just talk about some less important things."
Looking at these young people who were about to step into a desperate battlefield, the lioness smiled and revealed her fangs.
"In the time before you found the answer, my sisters and I practically wiped out all the abnormal beings in the world. Ah, the kind you often call Level Six."
Although they lost their human essence, they gained long lifespans and special abilities. Level 6 powerhouses were once the symbol of human strength in this world.
But for this planet, that kind of heterogeneous upgrade is definitely not the right direction for human evolution.
"Those guys were actually affected by the fragments, which is why they evolved into that abnormal form—condensing a large amount of star power into their bodies, and then becoming the fragments' primary prey."
"...Me too, I almost became like that."
Jiang Yue had once entered that realm, but later Aarons unconsciously corrected her origin, thus saving her from disaster.
If Huang Yayin and Night Owl hadn't cleared those people out beforehand, the 'fragment' might have awakened much faster than expected... In that case, even Aarons wouldn't have had time to make any preparations.
"Heh—in short, you can struggle as hard as you can. If you fight to the last moment and still can't win, then you won't be laughed at even if you run away."
"Whether we can win or not, we'll only know after we try."
"Then, sister, I'll leave the on-the-spot guidance to you."
Exhausted-looking Night Owl slightly raised his hand, which was considered an agreement to the request.
Huang Yayin stretched her shoulders slightly and then walked to a place a little distance away from Aarons and his group, seemingly ready to go.
Black dust, imperceptible to humans, still filled the sky, and life on the dying earth was withering away.
Aarons wasn't sure if he could defeat such an opponent... The only thing he knew was that if even he couldn't do it, humanity might never have another chance.
"Relax, it's not that complicated when it really starts. Also, boss, you have to stay in the back this time—if you get taken down first, the others won't have a chance to fight."
Although he couldn't see any enthusiasm, Night Owl still responsibly began giving on-the-spot instructions.
"Your responsibility is not only to weaken the enemy, but also to repair the damage to others in a timely manner... It's too complicated to explain, you'll understand once you see it for yourself."
"Oh, oh... I'll protect myself."
"And you too, don't forget about the others when you get into a fight... You must always prove the existence of the others so that you won't be defeated alone."
The meaning of this sentence was a little difficult to understand, so Night Owl shook his head and did not explain further.
"In short, I will give you tips on the strategy when appropriate, but I will not tell you the specific solutions... Just do what you can."
After she finished speaking, she waved to Huang Yayin, who was standing opposite her, indicating that she had finished giving the pre-battle instructions.
"Alright, little guys! We won't hold back!"
Just as Night Owl retreated to the side, Huang Yayin's aura suddenly changed.
A violent aura and immense pressure emanated from her body at the same time, giving Aarons the illusion for a moment that he was facing a giant monster.
The overflowing, violent power even caused the earth to tremble—in that instant, Aarons felt as if he had returned to the time when he first met Huang Yayin.
That pure power was exactly what Aarons longed for but could never obtain.
……
"First, let's warm up and see what we're capable of as hunters!"
"Hunters, I guess they're the kind who shout 'This ○○ can be empty'."
To maintain a calm demeanor, Aarons deliberately used language that no one else could understand to make a joke.
The mere presence of Huang Ya Yin Guang in battle stance was enough to instinctively instill fear in his body. If he couldn't overcome this fear, his will to fight would vanish.
Therefore, Aarons must remain calm no matter what.
"Karin and Keria will lead the attack, while Teacher Jiangyue and Zhuying will use the opportunity to hold the enemy back. Xia Ye and Yalu will assist the others, and once they find an opening, Qianyun will make the decisive attack!"
Since Aarons' team has seven combatants, coordination and cooperation are extremely important.
Aarons happens to be the commander in charge of this task—even though he himself doesn't have the ability to directly participate in combat, he can provide ample support to others.
"Don't hold back! If you let your guard down, you'll be picked off one by one!"
That's all Aarons can do with words alone.
So he immediately took out his Star Sphere and connected his will with the Star Pulse—even though the Star Power on the planet's surface had almost disappeared, the Star Core still had a considerable reserve of power.
"You're right, kid! But we can't defeat you just by numbers!"
Just as Aarons was about to use his abilities to provide substantial protection for the others, Huang Yayin, who had been standing still, finally moved.
Like an invisible shadow, Huang Yayin made contact with Keliya and Karin, who were acting as the vanguard, in an instant—while at the same time, Jiangyue and Zhuying, who had just taken off, were also subjected to precise long-range attacks.
It was a short-handled throwing knife purely for piercing purposes; it was a type of throwing weapon that could be called a "key".
"when……"
"Stay focused! Don't let your guard down!"
Just as Jiang Yue and Zhu Ying were knocked back by the spike-like flying knives and lost their balance, Karin, who was a beat slower to react, was also kicked in the chest by Huang Ya Yin and was kicked out of her original formation.
In just the first round, the hunter, once known as a legend, had already overwhelmed three opponents.
"Hmm, I'm not that easy to deal with!"
The corrupted Star Queen unleashed her power the instant her companion was knocked away—her obsidian greatsword was first enveloped in a heat like molten lava, and then slammed into the black-clad nun's body like a heavy hammer.
"Ha, have you forgotten—"
However, before Keria's attack could even touch her opponent, Huang Yayin's movements changed noticeably.
Three glass bottles, which appeared to contain some kind of liquid, slid out from the wide sleeves of the nun's robe and shattered at Clya's feet.
Then, a bladed leather whip, as serpentine as it was, suddenly lashed out from Huang Yayin's hand, snaking around the burning greatsword with a strange and cunning motion, before precisely wrapping around Keria's unsuspecting neck.
"I'm an expert at hunting magical beasts!"
As the whip tightened rapidly under the nun's control, pale holy flames simultaneously rose from the shattered bottle on the ground, instantly engulfing the Beast Queen's body.
—And this set of smooth and effortless killing moves only took a few breaths.
"...What did she used to hunt? Demon Kings?!"
Having fallen into adversity right from the start, Aarons was naturally unable to maintain his composure.
