Chapter 397: Gargoyles

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lu Shu’s fluent English was a clear message that there was no more room for negotiation, as their evil plan earlier was unforgivable to anyone.

But the question was, neither of them saw where the spear had come from. Could it be a piece of invisible storage equipment?

However, in individual Practitioners’ knowledge, such items only existed in legends and belonged to superior figures such as the leader of a famous organization or a Class B pro…

It was too rare, and basically associated with one’s abilities.

Judging from this, this Chinese teenager suddenly seemed very scary!

His warm smile only sent chills down Tandy’s spine. historical

In a split second, Tandy made the first move. As twelve scalpels shot towards Lu Shu from Tandy’s waist, the man immediately ran off in the opposite direction and hoped for a chance at surviving. Fully aware of his apparent disadvantage in terms of capabilities, for Tandy the best option now was to try his luck on bumping into a helper from the same country.

Lu Shu understood at once at the sight of the scalpels that the man could control metals. The scalpels were fired at incredible speeds and blocked Lu Shu’s way.

But Class E was still a Class E after all. While simply standing still over there with a spear over his shoulders, Corpsedog and Concealed Arrow had swooshed out from Lu Shu’s celestial map. In the next instant, every single scalpel was shattered at once by a few folded lines in the air following the black Corpsedog’s path. They were nothing but ordinary scalpels.

Meanwhile, Concealed Arrow pierced through the air behind the two Caucasians like a white jade needle. Transparent waves rippled through the atmosphere as Concealed Arrow was already able to break through the speed barrier!

Between the two daggers, Corpsedog was more lethal and Concealed Arrow was faster!

The two Caucasian Metahumans were running for their lives. One of them had already lifted an earth wall from the ground in a futile attempt to slow down Lu Shu’s attack. However, before he could run far, Concealed Arrow had effortlessly penetrated the collapsed wall and perforated the man’s heart.

The man shot a look of disbelief at his wounded chest, where blood was oozing out like a flower in full bloom.

In the next second, a scarlet dot appeared between Tandy’s brows, and blood started streaming down his face. Then, both of them collapsed on the floor!

Lu Shu called back his daggers. At the current moment, he was an expert at utilizing Corpsedog and Concealed Arrow. At the start, he had difficulty controlling two daggers simultaneously but his skills had improved in the process of flattening the snow mountain.

Now, the daggers were like his arms and moved completely at his will. There was a major difference between instinct and the awkward control he had over them in the past.

Lu Shu would never use his fourteen spears like bombs unless necessary. Speaking of which, it seemed a cool gesture to place a spear on his shoulder.

He walked over to search the bodies’ pockets, but soon cursed in disappointment, “Nothing?! Just how bloody poor were they!”

In fact, that was the current plight faced by unaffiliated Practitioners. No resources, no magical weapons.

At this moment, a loud howling echoed across the remains. Lu Shu glanced around but was unable to determine the source of the sound. It appeared to be from… the underground? Moreover, the wailing seemed be able to pierce through everything, even the soul.

Lu Shu frowned at the poor-looking barren land and black rocks… Aish, a wasteland…

Suddenly, a strange noise from afar attracted Lu Shu’s attention. There were two giant black monsters that soared towards the sky and dived back down again, they were engaged in a fight! Each monster had a pair of odd wings flapping on its back and human-like arms and legs with a stalwart build.

They looked just like ferocious gargoyles that came back to life from the movies.

Excited, Lu Shu immediately took to his heels. It felt like he had finally found a monster in this desolate video game landscape, and instantly associated it with fantasies about gold coins and precious equipment…

It was almost his instinct to conquer it!

Lu Shu’s thin build leaped forward among the rocks with remarkable accuracy. Under the dim light, the entire world looked like a site taken straight from a creepy horror movie.

But what he did not notice was that cracks started to form on some of the rocks he had stepped on, as they released dozens of gargoyles. They rose in silence, their eyes were shut on their sinister faces, as though capturing the smell of living creatures. Then, they opened their eyes, their gaze following after Lu Shu. In the next instant, their eyes turned blood red!

Meanwhile, Lu Shu had reached the first battlefield he saw, where three Asians were giving it all they had in their defense against the two gargoyles. Lu Shu studied the gargoyles carefully and, pondered about the effectiveness of Corpsedog on such creatures. It would be wonderful if he could deal with them just like how he dealt with the terracotta soldiers in the Beimang remains. A good soldier never stained his blade with blood.

The Asians were ecstatic upon seeing Lu Shu. Unexpectedly, though, they shouted in Japanese, “Please help us!”

Lu Shu was stunned. The Collection of Gods was the only organization in the entirety of Japan. Thus, logically, all Japanese-speakers here were their members. Earlier Mo Shengqi had mentioned that the Collection of Gods dispatched hundreds of people to the remains, the biggest team across all famous associations!

Just like the Heavenly Network, this organization had similarly perfect conditions of a complete, time-honored system of inherited skills and a huge population.

However, their land-scarce nature resulted in limited cultivation resources, forcing their Practitioners to pillage materials overseas to accommodate for the needs of their own growth.

Generally speaking though, at present, the average capabilities of the Collection of Gods were nothing impressive. Despite their leading high-end forces, they were no match for the Heavenly Network, unless a few Class A’s could be produced in the near future.

Nonetheless, it was a general phenomenon across all organizations that the number of low-level Class D’s, E’s and F’s significantly outnumbered those at the top of the pyramid.

Currently, the three Collection of Gods members were happy to have an extra helper against the difficult gargoyles. One of them was a Class D while the rest were E’s, whereas each gargoyle had lethality of up to Class D, coupled with their flying abilities… Therefore, a single misstep could be fatal!
