NOVEL WEB chapter 68
Chapter 68, The Whisper of the God of Love (Part Eight)
The wind brushed against the cheeks.
Mu En leaped down, as if she were willingly jumping into the embrace of a monster.
Ailuka wore a look of surprise, extending her hand like a gentle wife welcoming her lover home in the dead of night.
If only she weren’t extending hundreds of hands at the same time.
“An!”
Feeling the moment was right, Mu En suddenly shouted.
And thus, the steel rang out!
A thicket of metallic thorns, glimmering with a cold light, erupted from the ground, crashing violently into the monster’s body.
Countless sharp blades intertwined and stirred, slicing through every inch of the grotesque flesh, the clashing edges trembling against one another, forming a symphony that represented iron blood and death!
It was as if a spiked steel war chariot had collided with pure flesh, the monster’s deformed body instantly torn open with several gaping, hideous wounds!
“Ah—”
Ailuka screamed.
Yet there was no pain in her tone.
Instead, it sounded more like excitement.
She twisted her face, embedded in the blood and flesh, looking towards the maid who commanded the steel not far away.
“Master, you really have come back, haven’t you?”
“Mm, I’m back, Ailuka.”
An exhaled softly.
She crossed her hands over her abdomen, standing tall and straight.
Like a perfect maid.
She gazed unwaveringly at Ailuka, who had nearly shattered her psychological defenses not long ago, staring at the hundreds of faces that wailed with declarations of love.
This time, her gaze was resolute.
“I’ve come to save you.”
“Eh, I feel like there’s something different about you, is it just my imagination?”
Ailuka was puzzled for a moment, then burst into a giggle.
“Never mind, that doesn’t matter; I just need to know you are my master, and that’s enough.”
“Master, you will accept my love, right? After all, you understand me, don’t you?”
“I love you, Master!”
Hundreds of faces roared in unison, the sound waves spreading, even causing the steel to tremble.
The grotesque flesh writhed once more, those hideous wounds healing again in just a few breaths.
The fresh flesh spread and grew along the steel, like rust or a colony of fungi. The corroded steel would soon lose its original properties, turning into useless dust, scattered by the wind.
An’s gaze grew heavy as new steel condensed beside her, then once again faced the twisted monster.
The monster charged forward without showing any weakness.
A new round of confrontation began.
Like a brutal fight between beasts, to the death.
On the other side.
Mu En trod upon the bridge forged of steel, rushing toward the location of Eluka’s head.
Before him, sharp blades whirled, cutting through the grotesque limbs that continued to grow and spread like grass.
But no matter how much the blades sliced, in the face of the vast and nearly endless number of grotesque limbs, there would always be some that slipped through the net.
In the presence of such horrifying numbers, a single escapee was enough to suffocate.
Many limbs reached out from different angles, as if completely sealing off Mu En’s retreat, grabbing at him.
Several faces turned this way, grinning with malice, as if they had already foreseen the moment of becoming one with their new blood meal.
Love must be shared, and so must pain, right?
How could we be reduced to this state.JPG!
“It seems I was underestimated after all.”
Mu En chuckled self-deprecatingly.
Clearly, he was the one drawing the monsters away, yet at this moment, Eluka’s attention was still on An.
Only a few faces had turned to watch him, as if he was hardly worth their notice.
But, isn’t this good?
No, this is absolutely wonderful!
Far surpassing expectations.
Sneaking into the village, but don’t shoot.
The strategy he had never dared to imagine was, in a certain sense, realized by Eluka’s obsession with An!
Mu En grinned, silently laughing.
He held his hands in a loose grip.
With a flicker of thought, An, who had been keeping a thread of attention on him, responded intuitively.
A pair of curved short blades appeared in Mu En’s hands.
These were the weapons he had discussed with An in advance, asking her to help him forge.
He had realized while using a machete that, compared to the lighter dagger that suited women better, he was more suited to wielding the more powerful short blades.
Moreover, the design of the short blades would not hinder his dagger combat techniques at all!
This wave is simply a WIN-WIN situation!
“Eat my knife, Lightning Whirlwind Slash!”
Mu En leaped up, his hands moving like shadows, slashing at the grotesque limbs that continuously extended towards him.
Blood splattered everywhere.
The blade forged by An was extremely sharp.
The cage constructed from numerous limbs was, in an instant, cleaved open by Mu En, creating a gap.
New limbs rushed in to fill the void.
But it was already too late.
Shadow Step!
The powerful stride of the deadly assassin was once again displayed, as Mu En’s figure transformed into an almost invisible afterimage, bursting through the gap.
Indeed, just as he said, right now he only knew these three moves.
But it was hard to argue with how effective they were!
Who doesn’t love an almost cooldown-free blink?
As long as it wasn’t interrupted or disrupted by martial arts or other methods like that scarred man before, this move was invincible in terms of agility!
But you, a grotesque monster tainted by the evil god, can’t possibly use martial arts against me!
Mu En sneered inwardly.
Once the gap in the encircling limbs was opened, no one could stop his advance.
He quickly pressed forward, soon getting close to the abdomen of the monster where Ailuka’s head was located.
Just a little more!
Mu En’s eyes lit up; with just about two more Shadow Step jumps, he could completely approach the area where Ailuka’s head was!
“Wait there, Ailuka, let me— huh?”
His arrogant laughter was abruptly interrupted.
A warning sign suddenly flared!
Among the pile of grotesque limbs, an entirely different arm appeared, like a bizarre species emerging from a crowd of normal people.
No, in the midst of a pile of grotesque limbs, the so-called bizarre species was, in fact, normal.
It was a normal arm.
Sturdy and powerful.
The muscles were as solid as a coiled dragon.
It pointed its palm at Mu En, fingers suddenly curling.
As if mimicking the claws of some beast.
Then, in that moment, a thunderous roar erupted from between his fingers!
Mu En immediately felt a buzzing in his brain.
A terrifying shockwave, unknown in origin, slammed directly into his chest.
He couldn’t help but let out a muffled groan.
His internal energy surged.
The Shadow Step he was about to use was abruptly interrupted!
“What the hell?”
Mu En halted his retreat, his eyes filled with shock as he stared at that arm.
Martial arts!
It was really martial arts, damn it!
And it was even more profound than the scarred man before!
He could accept being silenced and unable to unleash it, but could a flicker be interrupted directly like this?
Huh? Huh?
League of Legends’ stealth technician?
Come out and explain the principle!
“Woof.”
As Mu En’s mind wandered aimlessly due to the shock, he suddenly heard a familiar bark.
“No way…”
In his dazed gaze.
A thick arm hung down, a wide palm pressing against the writhing flesh, and then, with a sudden lift.
A familiar figure, supported by the arm, crawled out from the blood and flesh.
In an instant, Mu En recognized him.
It was the man who had been turned into a dog.
Ailuka’s husband.
He was completely naked, still adorned with those ridiculous “accessories.”
But at this moment, as he stood in front of Mu En, his aura was completely different from before.
This was not a dog,
But a fierce beast.
