Chapter 183 Reincarnation Academy, Defeat!?
After Deathforest transformed Dr. Fashion into a monster, a brand new, even more ferocious monster launched an attack on Night Raid.
"Go forth, you abomination!"
Deathfire roared and gave a command to the monster called Abomination.
This monster's appearance is indeed similar to the Abomination in Warcraft, but there are some differences, and it is more powerful than the Abomination in Warcraft.
Upon hearing the command from the Death Forge, the Abomination suddenly opened its belly wide and spewed out a mouthful of poisonous gas. From its mouth, one wolf-like monster after another, with rotting flesh, poured out and attacked the dangerous creatures that had survived the Abomination's poisonous gas.
The dangerous species killed by these wolf-shaped corpses also began to be shrouded in black mist. After letting out a mournful howl, their eyes became chaotic, and they were transformed into puppets controlled by the Abomination.
And so, the Abomination moved toward the night raid's base with its ever-growing number of subordinates. Although the Abomination's pace appeared slow, due to its enormous size, each step it took covered a distance of ten meters.
……
After a night raid on the base, all the members who had finally managed to eliminate all the attacking enemies went outside to look at the source of the sound after hearing loud footsteps and feeling the ground tremble from afar.
"What kind of monster is that?!" Lubbock asked, his face pale as he looked in the direction the Abomination had come from.
"Hmph, what are you afraid of with the medicine Li Wei gave us!"
Mine, carrying the Imperial Arm Pumpkin, hummed and then aimed at Abomination and fired a shot.
Although Mine spoke with an air of fearlessness, she could actually feel a heavy pressure, which greatly amplified the power of her attack.
A beam of light, as thick as half a bucket, shot out from the muzzle of the Imperial Arm Pumpkin Sniper Rifle, striking Abomination's chest almost instantly and exploding with a bang.
"What!?"
Mine stared wide-eyed at the unscathed Abomination. "Its defense is actually much stronger than the monster from before!?"
She could use her Imperial Arms to make a cut on the humanoid creature just now, but she couldn't even scratch the Abomination in front of her!
"Tsk!"
BOSS Najenda stared at the enormous monster with a look of astonishment. "Akame, are you confident?"
"I'll try my best."
To deal with this monster, Najenda didn't expect to cut it into eight pieces. She only hoped that Akame's Imperial Arm, the Demon Blade Murasame, could break through its defenses, even if it was just a small opening, so that Murasame's curse could spread and kill it in one hit.
With that, Akame drew her demon sword Murasame and charged toward Abomination. Since Abomination was surrounded by a bunch of minions, Brandra Burke, Hill, and a few others provided cover for Akame.
"hateful!"
Lubbock, sweating profusely, complained that he had discovered these little monsters were actually stronger and more difficult to deal with than the previous batch.
……
As the others continued to clear a path, Akame, whose body was flashing with white light and whose Imperial Arms, including the demon sword Murasame, was still in its enhanced state, kicked off and flew into the air, slashing down at Abomination.
Akame, who had initially thought her defenses might be breached, was surprised to see that her knife had actually made a cut, albeit a shallow one, perhaps not even a millimeter deep, but that was enough.
Almost at the same time that Akame caused the damage, the black runes of the demon sword Murasame began to spread across Abomination's body.
"Success!"
All the members of the night raid cheered happily.
however……
Just as they shouted, the piece of flesh from the wound inflicted by the Crimson Eye Demon Blade quickly peeled off, and then a black mist covered the wound. In less than a moment, the wound disappeared along with the mist.
"This behemoth's regenerative ability is even stronger than those monsters!?"
After comparing the two, Najenda was secretly alarmed, and its reaction of quickly sacrificing part of its body to protect itself as soon as it sensed something was wrong was astonishing.
In this way, Akame's demon sword Murasame is essentially useless.
"Red Eyes, come back! We must retreat immediately! This is no match for us!" Najenda quickly issued the order. As a former general of the capital, Najenda quickly realized the situation. If they didn't escape, they would all be killed by this behemoth.
"Want to run?"
From atop the cliff, observing the group from afar, Death's Refinement couldn't help but let out a disdainful smile upon seeing Night Raid's actions.
"The spirits of the fallen homeland, imprison your enemies!"
Death's Refinement waved his hand forward, and in this forest, wailing black vengeful spirits emerged from the ground one after another. These vengeful spirits did not attack, but instead circled around the Night Raid participants, forming an invisible wall.
The fleeing group was initially filled with suspicion and uncertainty upon seeing these vengeful spirits, but they breathed a sigh of relief when they realized that the spirits did not attack them. However, Akame and the others soon felt even more desperate.
They discovered that these wronged spirits... caused their physical strength to drop drastically, and even caused their eyes to experience all sorts of hallucinations, such as mountains of knives and seas of fire, or piles of corpses, which were bizarre and strange. Even their five senses were severely interfered with.
"Hate them! Slaughter them!"
At Death's command, Abomination let out a deafening roar and began to run faster with heavy steps, causing the entire ground to tremble.
Brand realized the situation was dire and turned to stand behind the group, saying, "You guys go first!"
Lubbock was no slower than Brand, and together they prepared to cover the rear.
"Brand, Lubbock!?"
"Najetta, you guys should leave quickly! If no one stops this giant monster, none of us will be able to leave!" Lubbock said anxiously.
"Do you think you can leave now?" Death's Refinement sneered inwardly, then prepared to personally join the fray and annihilate them completely.
But at that moment, he suddenly had a thought and received a secret signal from somewhere else.
"What!? The Time Forge actually sent out a distress signal... I see..."
Death's Refinement scoffed, looking at Night Raid and the others with slight reluctance. He still wanted to stay and turn everyone into specimens. As for whether he could kill them... Abominations of this caliber were not something Akame and the others could handle at their current level.
Death's Refinement was well aware of this. Even if the other party had some kind of enhancement, it would still be the same. This Abomination was a collection he had cultivated for a long time, and its strength was no weaker than that of an ordinary third-year student.
In fact, Death's analysis was quite correct. Before he left, he saw Lubbock, who had been sprayed into a pool of blood by the Abomination's poisonous mist and was dead beyond any doubt.
"Oh, it seems the game ended even faster than I thought."
Death Refinement laughed heartily. He knew about the victory conditions that Li Wei had added on his own initiative: if anyone in his camp died, it would be considered a defeat for Samsara Academy!
PS:
PDS: Still have a fever... Ugh, midterms are coming up soon... I was thinking of taking a break... But then I realized it's been so long since I updated... Plus, my editor, who could kill a bull with one punch, came knocking, so I wrote this chapter... Hmm...
A million-dollar mortgage... just thinking about it makes me... I don't want to type... QAQ
Chapter 184 This gold coin is worth an empire
In a tavern in the capital, Li Wei lay back in front of the counter with his legs crossed, occasionally using the toes of his right foot to hold a bottle of wine to his lips and gulp it down.
In general, Li Wei's actions would have certainly resulted in him being beaten to death by the tavern owner, but Li Wei paid the tavern owner a sum of money, allowing him to book the tavern for several days.
This happened this morning, just as the tavern opened. The tavern owner opened the door and saw a man coming to the front of the shop to have a drink, and was surprised by the coincidence.
"Boss, do you see this gold coin?" Li Wei pulled a gold coin out of his pants, held it between two fingers, and waved it in front of the middle-aged man who looked like a middle-aged man.
"This is a rare gold coin, priceless, and it's no exaggeration to say that anyone who gets this much gold coin could easily buy an entire empire. But you're in luck today. I've decided to use it to book your tavern for a few days."
Li Wei exclaimed in a tone that suggested the boss had been incredibly lucky.
"Ok?"
The boss's heart skipped a beat. He had been examining the gold coin since earlier, but he honestly hadn't noticed anything unusual about it. He didn't believe Li Wei was a swindler; how could such a dim-witted conman use such an obviously deceptive method to cheat him?
As for playing him for a fool?
With such a large private tavern in the capital, he was not someone to be trifled with. Over time, he gained considerable prestige in the area, and for many years, no one dared to try and fool him.
"Tell me, what makes this gold coin so rare?" the shopkeeper asked with great interest.
"What!?"
Li Wei was shocked and incredulous, saying, "You couldn't even see something so obvious?"
"Didn't you notice that the obverse of this gold coin is printed on the reverse, and the reverse is printed on the obverse?!"
"Unless the imperial craftsmen have lost their minds and are blessed with a thousand-year-old inspiration, how could anyone normally forge such a miraculous currency!"
"Open your dog eyes and look! This is the most amazing gold coin in the history of the empire."
As he said this, Li Wei casually flicked the gold coin out. The gold coin flew through the air at high speed and landed on the city wall in the distance with a bang. The impact of the gold coin caused the city wall to collapse in an area of about ten square meters.
"You see the value of this gold coin? If it were to fall on the head of the emperor, it would mean the change of dynasties. Do you dare say it's not worth a country?"
As they were talking, Li Wei suddenly exclaimed "Huh?" and looked at the middle-aged boss's head. "Wait a minute, if this hit you on the head, it would only be worth a tavern."
"..."
"You're joking. It would be an honor for our humble abode if you came to stay at our shop. How could I possibly charge you? That would be a terrible thing to do."
The middle-aged boss said in a low voice, "With you standing in front of me, I can feel that my body has become much healthier under your radiance."
Li Wei patted his boss on the shoulder with satisfaction, "That's right, I think so too. Even though you're middle-aged, you still look as energetic as a seventy or eighty-year-old man."
"...You're right."
Thus, thanks to Li Wei's favor, the middle-aged boss was given the opportunity to bask in glory, and said that he had done so as to build an eight-story pagoda, after all, he had saved a life.
Moreover, a gold coin with the obverse side printed on the reverse side and the reverse side printed on the obverse side is indeed extremely rare. In the many years of the empire's history, there is probably only one such coin. It is very precious, isn't it?
……
"Ugh, this is so boring. We still have to wait two more days for them to return from other places."
Li Wei yawned listlessly. He had basically done everything he wanted to do in the competition, and was now basically retired and relaxing.
Just as Li Wei, bored out of his mind, started his left and right hands transforming into swords that clashed and fought like those in the anime Parasyte, a weak sound came from outside the tavern.
"Everyone, let's hide in this tavern first. The Empire probably won't expect us to be hiding here."
"Is this what Li Wei meant by 'the darkest place is under the lamp'?"
"Yes, and Li Wei seems to be in the capital as well. We must find him as soon as possible..."
"Li Wei!?"
Just as Najenda forced the tavern door open, she saw Li Wei conspicuously dressed, seemingly drunk and trying to drown his sorrows.
"Huh? Did you all come here especially to warm my bed because I'm all alone?"
"..."
“Li Wei…”
Instead of refuting Li Wei as usual, Mine clenched her teeth, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably. Akame, Hill, and Najenda also looked very gloomy.
"They're dead! They're all dead! Killed by that monster! That monster actually killed Brand and the others!"
Mine suddenly became very emotional and couldn't help but cry out loud as she rushed into Li Wei's arms.
"Woooooooo..."
Akame and Hill walked over with their heads down, "Li Wei..."
"Let me see, Brand, Lubbock, wait? Even Leone isn't here. Looks like they're dead?"
Li Wei counted the number of people, his expression unchanged.
As the team's most resilient member, Leone is not surprising, or rather, quite reasonable, to be brought up the rear alongside Brand and Lubbock, two men driven by chivalry.
Najeta and the others were stunned by Li Wei's performance.
Akame paused for a moment, then said decisively, "Li Wei, as expected of you, thank you."
If it were anyone else, they would definitely think that such a relaxed tone meant that he didn't value his companions and was indifferent. But Li Wei was different. Having spent so much time together, the group of night raiders had experienced far more than the average person, so they naturally understood that Li Wei was actually a person who valued relationships very much.
Even if he seems crazy on the surface and does things that never make sense, who among those who join Night Raid doesn't have a story? They certainly won't judge a book by its cover.
Li Wei: w(?Д?)w?
"Akame, why are you thanking me?"
"Hmm? Isn't your attitude implying that we should be strong, that even if they are gone, we should carry on with the will of our fallen comrades?"
"No, no, no, you must have misunderstood something."
Li Wei waved his hand and said, "Actually, I expected this to happen a long time ago."
Najenda asked, somewhat puzzled, "Since you anticipated this, why didn't you..."
"Not stop it?"
