Ha Erman’s pupils contracted slightly, this sudden man, something’s off... very off!
Even though he was standing right in front of him, it was as if he didn’t exist.
Yet, although he couldn’t sense him, Ha Erman felt a chill down his spine, as if worms named fear were crawling all over him.
He knew this fear came from the sudden man, but closing his eyes and relying solely on his inspiration, he couldn’t detect a thing.
This awkward feeling made Ha Erman completely uncomfortable. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ NoveI(F)ire.net
"Yo, you’re quite interesting."
Egger turned his head to look at Ha Erman, a gleam of light in his eyes. It was the first time he had seen someone like Ha Erman, a superpower user equipped from head to toe with luxurious superpower items.
Before his promotion, if he saw Ha Erman, he would probably avoid him; the mere sight of his equipment was not something Egger could handle.
But now to Egger, Ha Erman was like a big, fat sheep that had suddenly appeared!
As a Catastrophe-Level Expert, how could he possibly lack several decent superpower items? Once he took this kid’s stuff, his own resources would become significantly enriched.
Egger made a grasping motion at Ha Erman, and countless dismembered limbs stretched out from the ground or walls, binding Ha Erman tightly.
The platinum robe on his body emitted a faint light, protecting Ha Erman from being harmed by these severed limbs, but at the same time, it prevented Ha Erman from escaping.
Ha Erman had many trump cards, but most of them lost significance facing Egger.
There was a chasm-like gap between the True Sequence and Catastrophe level. Catastrophe is ’God,’ while True Sequence is ’Man.’
However, there was one item that might still be effective. He pulled out a dazzling diamond, with a sun-like glow inside!
The Asude Family had once wiped out a large cult that worshipped the sun. This cult used the lives of a hundred followers, a thousand corpses, and the blood of ten thousand various animals, exhausting enormous resources to create a forbidden object.
This object was the diamond in Ha Erman’s hand, inside which was sealed a miniature sun.
Once the diamond was shattered, this miniature sun would be released, with its core temperature approaching that of the sun’s core!
The energy contained within this item definitely couldn’t kill a Catastrophe-Level Expert... but it should be enough to give Ha Erman a chance to escape.
After Egger secured Ha Erman, he turned to look at the trembling Camilla.
Although now wasn’t the best time to consume her, it seemed he had no choice but to eat her now.
He lifted the black cloth on his head, revealing a horrific head. With his mouth slightly open, the black air from Camilla’s body surged into his body like a spring.
The power from the Black Night Knight atop Egger’s head began to dissipate slowly, and his head gradually recovered.
For an evil path catastrophe like Egger, the power of fear from all living things was the best nourishment.
Camilla’s undying body began turning gray; the other black-skinned monsters under her control throughout the city quickly turned to ash as well, their power converging into her body for Egger’s consumption.
Monsters born from the fear of the masses were indeed troublesome, but before they grew strong enough, they were nothing more than lambs to be slaughtered for a Catastrophe Powerhouse.
With no more fear power converging from the outside world, Egger prepared to completely devour Camilla.
Ha Erman prepared to release the power within the diamond, knowing that after Camilla’s death, he’d be the next to suffer.
At this critical moment, a black light rose from the ruins, racing towards Egger’s face.
Egger’s heart skipped a beat, could it be the Black Night Knight coming? But it’s not even dark yet?
Upon probing the nature of this energy, finding it completely different from the Black Night Knight, he relaxed, casually throwing out a claw of flesh to block the attack.
But unexpectedly, the claw of flesh was directly shattered by the violent energy. The black energy transformed into a black cross, crashing into Egger.
Egger was struck by the violent energy, spitting blood, and his entire body was sent flying, destroying everything along the way.
Camilla weakly fell to the ground, breathing a sigh of relief. A pair of black boots appeared in front of her eyes, stepping mercilessly on her head, with black chains coiling around her body.
Then, she had no more feeling, vanishing into the air.
Ha Erman stared in shock at the suddenly appearing figure, dressed in a black robe with black energy flames burning on their body, speechless.
This person had sent a Catastrophe-Level Expert flying with just one move, so he’s also Catastrophe-Level?
Then why did this Catastrophe-Level act now?
Wen Wen had no interest in answering Ha Erman’s questions. Instead, he lightly waved his hand in Ha Erman’s direction, and all the flesh binding him scattered into ash.
"Keep that little trinket in your hand for later; against a Catastrophe-Level... it’s not of much use."
The reason Wen Wen watched Egger devour Camilla and waited until the end to act was because he wanted to use Egger to clear out the black-skinned monsters in the Baidiya area.
Camilla, the spiteful woman, had a wide range of revenge; she even kept mental notes of verbal warnings from traffic officers.
So before Wen Wen found her, she had already orchestrated at least hundreds of cases in the city.
Additionally, Wen Wen was only interested in Camilla’s three wings, planning to transplant them onto the Evil Light Angel. The rest of her was of no value to Wen Wen.
A mysterious rune floated behind Wen Wen; he activated the ’Mystery’ ability that came with the Custodian Badge, causing Egger to heavily misjudge his power, allowing for a successful surprise attack.
Egger stopped after flying dozens of meters, with his left arm and half his body turned to mush.
The mangled arm was replaced by strange limbs, which reformed into an arm, slowly restoring to human form.
As a Catastrophe-Level Expert, Egger’s body strength was the weakest among the Catastrophe-Level.
But he could control corrupted flesh, so as long as he wasn’t totally destroyed at once, he could recover quickly, unless the power Wen Wen used was similar to the Black Night Knight’s, which could hinder his flesh from recovering.
Egger’s expression was complex: "Has Catastrophe-Level become so common now that I encounter one even here!"
"No, this guy isn’t newly emerged."
"He is... The Black Cross!"
Egger immediately considered retreating, not wanting to entangle with Wen Wen. He had seen the Black Night Knight’s power and greatly feared all veteran Catastrophe-Level Powerhouses.
Moreover, compared to other catastrophes, the Black Cross held an air of mystery, and no one knew the extent of his power; all they knew was that every time he appeared, his opponents all failed!
