Chapter 182 The Great Battle Begins
"Three Super Dangerous Species, the situation is very dangerous."
Mine picked up the pumpkin again: "However, the more dangerous it is, the stronger I become."
A thick golden beam of light shot out like a sharp arrow.
The giant snail's head remained hidden inside its shell, motionless.
Boom!
The golden beam of light rapidly expanded, transforming into a massive fireball.
After the flames dissipated, the giant snail inside was revealed, one section of its shell blackened, bearing burn marks.
"It hasn't broken through yet?"
Mine's expression was grave.
Such strong defense; the enemies she had encountered before were not even in the same league.
Is this what a Super Dangerous Species is?
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Numerous tentacles shot out from the giant snail's shell, swarming towards Mine.
Two people stepped forward, blocking Mine's path.
The boy on the left held a curved sword, and the woman on the right wore a long purple dress and carried a huge pair of scissors.
Tatsumi! Sheele!
"Leave this to us!"
Leone, Brand, and Rabo also stepped forward.
According to the plan, the six of them were responsible for dealing with the giant snail.
Without hesitation, Najenda, Susanoo, Kurome, and Akame turned and charged towards the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
They were the main force against it.
"Roar!"
The Tyrannosaurus Rex's eyes blazed with intense fury and hatred.
This tiny creature had almost killed it.
It opened its mouth and unleashed a torrent of red energy.
Akame and the others dodged.
Boom!
Like a cannonball, flames expanded, shockwaves surged, and a deep crater appeared in the ground.
Kurome landed lightly, drew her Yatsufusa, and activated her ability without hesitation.
A ball of black energy appeared at the tip of Yatsufusa, and bolts of black lightning shot out.
Rumble.
The earth churned, and enormous figures emerged.
Akame and Najenda both showed expressions of surprise.
They were all Dangerous Species, and extremely powerful Special-Rank Dangerous Species at that.
However, what surprised them wasn't the puppets' strength, but their sheer number.
Sixteen puppets appeared around them!
The Corpse March, Hachifusa, could only control a maximum of eight corpses.
Why were there sixteen puppets?
Boom!
A burst of red energy swept past, devouring the upper body of one puppet, leaving only its legs and half a chest.
But the next moment, flesh spread, and in the blink of an eye, the puppet was restored.
Najenda and Akame were even more astonished.
They recognized that Special-Rank Dangerous Species; it didn't possess such powerful regenerative abilities.
Was this Hachifusa's ability?
When did Hachifusa acquire such power?
Kurome smiled slightly.
Hachifusa had become one with her.
Now, she could not only control up to sixteen puppets, but the puppets she created also possessed demonic characteristics, allowing for rapid regeneration.
This was her Blood Demon Art, simple yet powerful.
Najenda gave Kurome a deep look.
Although she had long known Kurome was difficult to deal with, she hadn't expected Kurome to be this powerful.
Fortunately, Kurome had left the Empire; otherwise, she would have caused them immense trouble.
"Go!"
Kurome pointed her long sword.
The sixteen puppets charged towards the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Susanoo followed closely behind.
As a biological Teigu, he was equally unafraid of injury.
Najenda knew her own limitations and didn't rush forward.
Under the cover of the puppet and Susanoo, Akame silently approached the Tyrannosaurus Rex from behind, her gaze calm, and Murasame slashed out like lightning.
She was an assassin.
Although strong in direct combat, she was equally adept at assassination.
Anyone wounded by Murasame, even a Super Dangerous Species, would die.
At that moment, the Tyrannosaurus Rex suddenly turned around and swung its claws.
Clang!
Akame felt a terrifying force strike her, and dared not take it head-on, flying backward.
Although she had tried her best to absorb the force, her hands were still numb after landing.
However, compared to the immense power, she was more surprised by another aspect of this Dangerous Species' performance.
"Such a keen sense!"
This Super Dangerous Species certainly didn't know Murasame's abilities, but among the many attacks, it keenly sensed the most dangerous one and made the most correct response.
More and more Dangerous Species were surrounding them.
The black-eyed puppet had to abandon its attack on the Tyrannosaurus Rex and instead deal with its dangerous minions.
Seeing this, Akame's eyes sharpened.
Being injured by Murasame would be certain death.
However, to avoid relying too heavily on Murasame, she would still prioritize attacking vital points,
such as the neck and heart.
This way, even without Murasame, her strength wouldn't decrease too much.
However, this also restricted Murasame's power, preventing it from fully utilizing its strength.
Aoki had said there were four super dangerous species in this secret realm.
Three had appeared so far, and the strongest and most dangerous one was yet to appear.
If that super dangerous species suddenly returned, they wouldn't have enough manpower to deal with it, potentially causing the hunting plan to fail.
They had to eliminate one of the super dangerous species as soon as possible!
Aoki was dealing with the flying super dangerous species alone, while Mine and the others were responsible for dealing with super dangerous species with extremely strong defenses.
Only they had the means to kill it quickly.
Akame's gaze swept over the Tyrannosaurus Rex's body.
Its massive size and lack of agility meant that this super dangerous species had many blind spots.
When she decided to stop binding herself and Murasame, she immediately discovered numerous weaknesses.
"Destroy it!"
Akame leaped forward, her toes barely touching the ground.
...
Tear!
Accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, countless wind blades rushed towards them.
Aoki quickly flapped his wings, his figure tracing an arc, dodging the wind blade attacks.
A person should be viewed with new eyes after three days' absence.
Compared to the last time they met, he was completely different.
When he last came here, his average attributes were only 28 points; now they had reached 37.
His strength had increased by more than one level!
The surge in speed, coupled with the predictive power of "Transparent World," allowed him to easily dodge the wind blades.
The Super Pteranodon's eyes were cold.
It remembered this "little guy."
Although small in size, he was dangerous.
There was no need to act so hastily.
Whoosh!
The Super Pteranodon retreated, and a large number of dangerous species swooped down, flying towards Aoki.
"Quite cunning."
Aoki's body swelled, transforming in the blink of an eye into a three-meter-tall, ferocious-looking dragon-man.
Slightly unfortunate
, his whip and bone whip disappeared upon transforming into a dragon-man.
However,
his tail could be considered an upgraded version of the bone whip—more powerful, more agile, and stronger.
His honed skills remained usable, the only drawback being its shorter length.
A vulture-like Dangerous Species approached Aoki first, emanating the aura of a Special-Rank Dangerous Species.
This was a dangerous existence that only a powerful Imperial Arms User or an army could contend with.
However,
it was facing Aoki.
Even when Aoki first arrived in this world, he wasn't someone a Special-Rank Dangerous Species could easily challenge.
Let alone now.
"Get out of my way!"
Aoki growled, his tail sweeping across the ground like a flash of black lightning.
The vulture-like Dangerous Species was split in two.
Aoki didn't even glance at it, flapping his wings and charging into the swarm of flying Dangerous Species like a cannonball.
Limbs and severed arms flew everywhere, blood splattered, and a cruel rain of blood fell from the sky.
These flying dangerous species were no match for him.
A moment later,
Aoki's vision suddenly returned. He looked up and saw the Super Pteranodon just tens of meters away.
*Tear!
* The Super Pteranodon opened its mouth and unleashed a deluge of wind blades.
The distance between them was too close, and surrounded by dangerous species, Aoki had no way to dodge.
In fact, he didn't intend to dodge, nor was there any need to.
Ultimate Form, activate!
Aoki's body suddenly expanded.
