Chapter 543 - 306: Tier Eight Nest Cave Master

Chapter 543: Chapter 306: Tier Eight Nest Cave Master

’I still don’t understand the situation. I don’t have a clear grasp of this enemy’s strength either.’

But...

Lu Cang clenched his fists.

Battle Intent and rage surged within him.

This time, even without knowing its specific combat power or the details of the fight, he still felt an overwhelming desire to charge forward and crush it to pieces.

"Oh..."

"To think you’re interested in my little experiment."

The being descended slowly from the sky.

The surface of Earth’s ocean sank steadily due to its presence.

Luo Mo’s attention was focused entirely on Kumironi.

Kumironi saw it as well.

She stopped what she was doing.

She stood up and looked toward the sky.

"A Demon?"

Luo Mo exuded an extremely dense demonic aura, yet the impression it gave was completely different from that of a Demon.

This Demon possessed intelligence.

It had a Spirituality comparable to a human’s, and it spoke.

Moreover, its intelligence didn’t seem low. It wasn’t like other Demons that, even after awakening their intellect, remained fool-like.

"You are?"

Kumironi took a step forward, protectively shielding the two Slimes behind her.

Unexpectedly, it bowed to Kumironi, performing a human ritual.

"My name is Luo Mo. I come from the Eighth Level Nest Cave of the Mutated Nest. I am the Master of the Nest Cave, appointed by the master to oversee research on mutations."

Its speech was clear, its expression articulate.

Its words were measured, revealing no hint of hatred or murderous intent toward humans.

This Demon’s intelligence was exceptionally high.

’In charge of research?’

’Since when do Demons conduct research?’

According to historical records, all Demons were unintelligent, brutish creatures without Spirituality. And research was something not even every human was capable of.

"You mentioned research. Are you saying... you did all this?"

Kumironi glanced at the Demons wandering aimlessly along Coastal Avenue.

A look of delight crossed Luo Mo’s face as it introduced its work with excitement, "That’s right. These are all my masterpieces~"

"Aren’t they adorable?"

"I transformed these mortals, who knew nothing of reincarnation, into Demons."

"But I really didn’t expect to find ordinary people on this world who had never even heard of reincarnation."

"But even without knowing about reincarnation, they’re quite impressive."

"To think they could develop their own unique set of theories just by deconstructing matter. They could even create bombs with Power comparable to Tier Five, or even Tier Six, Magic."

"Uh... I think they were called... nuclear bombs?"

"Can you believe it? They weren’t even Reincarnators and had no Professional Abilities, yet they could accomplish such great things."

"If they had been allowed to develop further, who knows what heights they might have reached."

"But what a pity~"

"Still, thanks to their purity, such fine mortal specimens are truly hard to come by."

PFFT—

The humanoid creature, its body dark and murky, suddenly split open at the back, sprouting a pair of black, butterfly-like wings.

Kumironi: "So, what exactly did you do to them?"

"Are you incapable of understanding? I’m speaking a human language, am I not? It should be the common tongue, right?"

"I told you, I turned them into our own kind."

"In other words, what you call Demons."

"It’s as if I bestowed great power upon these weak lives who had never undergone reincarnation. But unfortunately... it seems that humans who become Demons also lose their Spirituality."

"How vexing~"

Luo Mo showed no remorse. Instead, it savored the memory of its actions as if wanting more.

’Simply... unforgivable.’

Kumironi couldn’t help but clench her teeth, her face a mask of fury as she stared at the figure in the sky.

’Is life something for you to play with like this?’

’What do you take life for?’

’People make mistakes, and crimes are punished... Even the cycle of life and death follows its own natural laws.’

But this creature before her treated life as nothing more than a toy.

"Lu Cang."

"Your parents... I may not be able to find a way to restore them right away."

"But I think we can find the answers we’re looking for from this monster."

"And besides, I’m truly furious now."

Kumironi said, looking up.

BANG!

A flash of white light exploded across the sky!

BZZZZ—

A web of sword glints filled the air as a heaven-scorching Holy Flame erupted in an instant!

BAM!

Behind Kumironi, a brilliant figure landed on the ground.

In a flash, the two Slimes behind Kumironi vanished.

Lu Cang had stored the two Slimes in a Space Container.

Lu Cang possessed a Space Container capable of holding living beings.

"Oh..."

"Are you this human female’s follower?"

Luo Mo spread its four wings. Golden Holy Flame scorched its body, now covered in countless fine lines of light from the sword strikes. Wherever these lines appeared, the Holy Flame blazed with even greater intensity.

In that split second, Lu Cang had stopped Time. And within that frozen moment...

...he had instantly severed its body!

But... he didn’t feel like he had actually killed anything.

Luo Mo

"It’s a Tier Eight Demon."

"A Tier Eight, Sixth Shedding Demon."

The moment his blade struck it, Lu Cang had perceived all of its information.

Mutated Nest — Master of the Eighth Level Nest Cave

The Master of the Nest Cave... the strongest existence within an entire Nest Cave.

Just like the Ten Thousand True Souls he had encountered before.

Sixth Shedding...

A Tier Six Submerged Land Level Demon was only at the Fifth Shedding in terms of strength.

Lu Cang had never seen a Tier Six, Sixth Shedding Demon—in other words, the level above Submerged Land Level.

In Lorren’s classification system, that was Sea Covering Level.

A level perhaps capable of destroying the entire Secret Sand Archipelago.

Right now, Lu Cang truly felt a suffocating pressure from the Demon before him. A Tier Eight Demon...

Its combat power was equivalent to that of a Level 8 Reincarnator.

This was, without a doubt, the strongest enemy he had ever faced.

No, to be precise, this was absolutely not an enemy he should be fighting at his current stage. Normally, Lu Cang would have chosen to flee without hesitation.

But this time was different.

His desire to kill an enemy had never been so intense!

This one time, Lu Cang didn’t want to wait.

He didn’t want to wait until he was stronger to get his revenge!

Its body was severed, and Holy Flame churned within it, spreading an agonizing, tearing sensation. Yet, the emotion that erupted from Luo Mo was one of sheer ecstasy!

POP!

Its body abruptly swelled!

Its originally slender, humanoid form instantly exploded outward like a bloated, fleshy tumor!

POP!

But then, in the empty space, two grotesque eyes abruptly materialized.

The eyes, appearing out of thin air, stared at Lu Cang.

BZZZZ—

In an instant, Lu Cang felt a violent jolt to his Spirit!

At the same time, his flesh began to swell, fangs sprouted from nowhere, and an extra pair of pupils grew on his face!

Gaze of Mutation
