“……!!!”
The monster’s body crashed through the first layer of reinforced concrete in the living room with a heavy sound, splashing debris. In an instant, it passed through the adjacent bedroom.
The walls along the route collapsed one after another. The decorations originally hanging on the walls of the living room were all tilted by the force of the impact.
In the blink of an eye, it had penetrated about six walls, leaving deep human-shaped holes on the solid walls with horrible cracks beginning to appear with it as the center.
Even the floor of the entire living room was affected by the aftermath.
As the class president screamed in panic, the wooden floor broke apart and the ground collapsed to a depth of one meter.
The debris from the shattered wall fell to the floor, stirring up a layer of choke-inducing dust.
The villa was instantly filled with floating particles and flying dust, causing the light in the room to become somewhat blurry which greatly affected the vision.
The monster eventually managed to stop the force and did not roll directly out of the villa.
Although it managed to stop the force with difficulty, it groaned and peeled off from the depression in the wall and fell to the ground, its two heads hanging limply.
The limbs and spine making up the human body were all crushed. It lay on the ground like a rag doll that could not exert any strength and was now at the mercy of others.
A normal adult human has 206 bones in the body. Even under sudden and strong pressure such as a car accident, bones would at the very least still exist.
However, at this instance, it could feel that its skull, spine and hip bones had disintegrated. The moment it was hit, they turned into powder invisible to the naked eye and pierced the flesh beneath its skin, causing severe pain to the evil spirit attached to it.
“……”
As one of the strongest Special A-class monsters, it could feel pain…?
Its spirit was trembling.
Rather than the absolute fear that came belatedly, it felt its mind go blank. Everything that was happening before its eyes was beyond its imagination.
How was that possible?
It retched out a mouthful of black blood and internal organs, and stared blankly at the blood flowing out from between its fingers. The blood dripped onto the ground and mixed with the dust.
Its body had turned into a mass of rotten flesh.
However, such astonishingly terrifying power was nothing more than a careless hit from It.
…What kind of unknown existence was it facing?
Jian Xie, who was standing there and witnessed the whole process, finally understood why It told him that those A-level and B-level monsters were not worthy of It’s involvement.
If a normal attack could reach such an incomparable level of power, even a Special A-level monster would not be able to survive a second attack from It.
In the eye of the storm where rocks were flying and the ground was sinking, Jian Xie was standing there, unharmed, as if there was an invisible barrier around him blocking all the energy.
All the dark aura that was too close to him and should have hurt him had seemingly entered his body and were completely devoured by this fragile looking human. Upon noticing this, Jian Xie suddenly had a brazen idea in his mind…
He wondered if he could give It a bite.
Who knew, perhaps even though It always looked down on others, It would be actually quite easy to talk to in front of him?
“……”
Suddenly remembering that It could hear the key words of the little theater in his mind, Jian Xie quickly lowered his head and pretended to dismiss this dangerous idea.
Big dreamers needed to be more restrained.
He lowered his head and looked at the class president who was still sitting on the ground. “Is that your parents’ body?”
“Uh, mn.”
The class president answered slowly—still not recovered from his shock—and nodded subconsciously in acknowledgment.
After a while, he realized that he was being talked to by the mysterious classmate he had been paying attention to silently for a long time. He suddenly raised his head nervously, looked at Jian Xie’s pretty face, and immediately stammered, “But- no- it’s- that is my parents’ bodies, but it doesn’t matter…”
He knew what Jian Xie meant. After all, the monster was inside his parents’ bodies, which meant that just now his parents’ remains had also been crushed together with it.
But in this extreme situation, he couldn’t ask for anything more.
Jian Xie nodded, trying not to turn his head to look at the black fog around him, even though he could feel that the other party was lightly touching his cheek with the mist.
It was like taking credit for him.
But to be honest… he really didn’t know how to respond to what It said before.
This guy’s words are so misleading.
Jian Xie was distracted. Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, the posture of the two at the moment was quite dangerous.
After all, the terrifying thing that could blow away a special A-level monster with one hit was floating in the air not too close nor too far away from him, and it was very closely surrounding Jian Xie’s back. The jagged edge of the fog was close to the human’s slender and fragile neck, as if it would cut his throat without any warning in the next moment.
It wasn’t surprising.
After all, in his point of view, the skinny Jian Xie suddenly appeared with a huge monster behind him, and this monster only said two sentences throughout the whole process, all of which were to declare its possessiveness of him. It’s outline seemed blurred because of the spreading mist, but It ensured that It could hold Jian Xie in It’s arms.
Noticing the class president’s slightly nervous gaze, Jian Xie turned his head away uncomfortably, once again deliberately ignoring the black fog’s emotions.
He turned to look at the Special A-level monster that had been beaten badly and was lying half-dead not far away, and squeezed out a few non-existent crocodile tears[1] in his heart.
[……]
It narrowed It’s eyes and snorted at his evasion.
It was a mystery which nerve this ordinary interaction touched on the special A-level monster, but it cursed in a low voice.
Originally, it had already given up and was in a state of despair and half-self-abandonment. But now, it suddenly came to its senses, barely raised its head, pounded the ground and shouted angrily, “Fine, I admit that you two are in true love, that’s enough!”
——Damn it, don’t show off too much in my face!
Jian Xie: “…………”?
What true love?
Do all you monsters talk in such a nonsensical way?
“You don’t think it’s that simple, do you?”
The special A-class monster sneered, and its broken body suddenly became slippery for some reason and stood up like a snake. Its skin swelled up as if it was inflated, but shrank in the next second, becoming a weightless, dirty human skin. Its eyes lost their luster and stared blankly ahead.
At the same time, a thin line opened from the top of the corpse’s head, running straight across the entire face and directly cutting into the abdomen.
Along with a disgusting gurgling sound, a pale hand stretched out from the stomach, carrying a fishy yellow mucous membrane. Due to its overly rough movement, rotten and putrid organs fell out with a splat. Suddenly, the whole villa was filled with a filthy fishy smell.
Something was crawling out of the corpse.
After witnessing this extremely nauseating scene, the class president could not bear it anymore. He turned around, lay on the ground and vomited with a “hwuak”.
While vomiting, he noticed with his peripheral vision that Jian Xie was still standing there without moving his gaze. Looking closely, the other seemed to be still observing it.
He really couldn’t understand why he could remain so calm…
After all, in his eyes, Jian Xie with his exquisite and beautiful looks, plus his habit of keeping quiet was probably the kind of person who would feel sad when seeing stray kittens and disabled dogs on the roadside. Seeing such a stimulating scene would definitely be more unacceptable to the other party than to him.
Who would have thought that he would actually be quite interested in watching it.
The class president was about to faint from fright but was stunned by Jian Xie’s commonplace reaction. He forced himself to keep his eyes open and reflect on whether his mental quality was too poor as he was not even as good as Jian Xie, who looked frail and weak.
But then, he saw a scene that was nearly engraved into his DNA.
After pondering for a while, Jian Xie finally moved.
The class president was stunned, his eyes unconsciously moving up along the other’s straight and slender legs, and then drifting in the direction where the other’s gaze was facing. After a few seconds, he finally belatedly realized what the other was doing.
He was actually walking straight towards the monster which was dozens of meters away.
“……!!”
Unaware of the impending danger, this Special A-level monster that was about to break out of its skin was still sneering secretly.
Although It was very strong, it does not mean that it would surrender.
It was only because it was previously confined in a human body and had no defenses, so it wasn’t able to use one tenth of its power. Moreover, defense was not its strong point at all. If its true form were to appear and as long as it killed the human it was parasitizing first, it would not necessarily—
Suddenly, its outstretched blood-stained fingers were touched by something soft.
“Pitter patter.”
Along with the crisp sound of water drops falling to the ground, its thoughts were suddenly interrupted.
Its mind went blank, and even its vision went dark in an instant.
What??
The smug smile was still frozen on its face, but its pupils trembled instantly.
The power that originally filled its body suddenly evaporated. It tried to find any trace of it in a panic, but found the power quickly flowing in the direction of its fingers like a flood and was irreversibly fed on by another existence.
Food?
It was treated as food?
This was impossible. Special A-level monsters were at the top of the food chain. There was no way that anything else could be its predator. This was a humiliation.
But it was indeed being gradually devoured.
Could it be that the level of that indescribable thing was really higher than A-level…?
A level of a monster that had never appeared before involuntarily emerged in its mind. Because it had heard of only one ancestor of that level since its birth, it had subconsciously ignored it.
Could it be——
“……”
Thinking of this, it screamed in fear, and used all its strength to open its eyes and beg for mercy, but it froze the moment it saw the being in front of it.
It was not the black fog, but the thin human being who had been ignored by it from beginning to end.
??
How was that possible?
It was so dumbfounded that it forgot to make any sound.
Could it be that its guess had been wrong all along, and it was not It who manipulated him, but rather this weak human in front of it was the one who dominated the relationship between them?!
Jian Xie was wearing a sports jacket. His arms hang down as usual, revealing his clean, pale fingers at the cuffs.
Evidently, he had just withdrawn from touching it, so it couldn’t be anyone else.
And on the fingertips which seemingly touched it moments ago, a layer of faint black mist lingered.
Even if it didn’t believe it, it could feel that It wasn’t the one that had just absorbed itself. Instead, it was merely… the black fog feeling extremely dissatisfied because the human touched itself, so It was possessively erasing any remaining scent.
Noticing its gaze, Jian Xie raised his hand and looked at the fog floating on his fingers. He found that they dispersed into several wisps in between his fingers, and one wisp was lingering around the ring finger of his right hand.
It was unknown whether It had done that intentionally or unintentionally, but it appeared like It was putting a ring on him.
This scene immediately gave Jian Xie the illusion that he married at a young age without his knowledge.
“It was clearly possible through the cloth.” It was full of hostility. The black fog shot a glance at it and said as if offended, “There’s no need to get so close.”
Special A-level monster: “…………”
…Haha, true.
