This Cancer Beast nearly has no weaknesses.
Once this type of soldier is deployed to the battlefield, it becomes a very troublesome presence.
The proliferation effect brought by the cancer allows it to regenerate superfast, and it can endlessly devour corpses on the battlefield, absorbing their nutrients to further proliferate, even increasing its maximum bodily size limit.
Currently, Luo Di and others only need to face a thirty-meter class small Cancer Beast. Moreover, it’s an inferior variety that has resurrected after death, stripped of its Demon Ascension traits.
It’s still difficult for six new soldiers to confront it.
This type of Cancer Beast is extremely difficult to kill; they have no core, every cell has the potential for mutation, and even being cut into dozens of pieces will not affect their vital activities.
Even if half of its body is burned by high temperatures, the other half can quickly regrow.
[Seven Horns Council]
The seven Demon Kings watch the soldiers unleashing their assaults around the Cancer Beast, feeling somewhat bored. They only perk up slightly when observing the performance of the Outer Realm Apostle.
The scene shifts to Luo Di, whose spine is exposed,
His spinal cord, which turns into a metallic chainsaw spinning at high speed, cannot find a second one throughout the entire Chaos Nest.
"A product of the combination of Hell’s Spine and Painful Metal, and with a very high degree of integration... It has an inhibitory effect equivalent to a natural enemy against flesh and blood enemies, being able to achieve very good limb-severing, cutting, and flesh-mincing effects.
The Punishment Room mask worn on his face also prevents the inhalation of the plague.
In this case, it just requires him to provide the dismemberment, while the other Spine members perform high-temperature incineration; gradually they will be able to kill this Cancer Beast.
Nice, Outer Realm Apostle."
The Demon King associated with eyes, observation, and surveillance grows ever fonder the more he watches, wishing to ask the boss for this person several times but holding back, only daring to give hints through various remarks.
Luckily, the boss actually responded, but didn’t touch on the issue of ownership, instead focusing on a special performance by Luo Di.
"Did you notice? He seems to always be able to precisely perceive danger coming and take preventive measures in advance."
"I saw it~ It seems related to his tongue.
Many times, even from attacks coming from blind spots, he’s able to make preemptive dodging movements, as if his tongue pops each time."
"It’s similar to the maneuvers of an Evil Play, yet he clearly doesn’t possess any body components related to Evil Play."
"Keep observing, let’s see if his ’Danger Perception’ can discover the most dangerous things. If it can, that will be very interesting."
"Boss... cough cough! It’s rare to see you so interested in such low-ranking soldiers."
After a whole half hour of combat.
With only two Spine members being slightly injured,
Luo Di slices the last piece of the Cancer Beast into small chunks ready for burning, which the other three wholly high-temperature Spine members proceed to incinerate.
By the time the last bit of wriggling flesh is burned away, the whole venue is pervaded by a burnt stench, like a mix of a plethora of bed bugs and pirate boots ignited with high-concentration grape wine, with a superb vomiting effect.
everyone is unable to maintain the most basic standing, sitting, or squatting positions or simply lying on the ground gasping for breath, reconciling their spines to assist in breathing.
Luo Di supports himself with his hands behind him, gazing up at the ash-filled Duel Arena canopy.
The greatest contribution and most stunning performance belong to him alone.
To kill a Cancer Beast, one must possess a limb-processing speed faster than its regeneration rate, only then it can be gradually worn down to nothing.
Among this group of new soldiers, only Luo Di achieved this cutting efficiency.
The other Spines also express their gratitude in Demon Language, and they will later join the army as ’Elite Soldiers,’ a treatment completely different from ordinary soldiers.
≮Service Assessment Completed, please return to the general rest area for nutritional replenishment and body cleaning, then proceed to the recruitment hall to choose the legion you will join≯
Philipp also immediately returns to Luo Di’s shoulder, praising him with all sorts of Hell-related flattery once again.
The other surviving Spines drag their tired or injured bodies towards the rest area, where high-quality spinal cord supplements are available for everyone to self-suck.
There’s also a shower area equipped for washing off the residual plague fragments.
Luo Di recovers quickly and opts to take a shower directly instead of sucking on spinal cord.
The other three Spines are sucking eagerly at the automated spinal cord drink machine, their wounds also slowly recovering in the process.
The water here is at least 60℃ even at its lowest setting; well-seasoned bodies can easily withstand the high temperatures, and the high heat also makes it easier to wash off substances on the body.
The reason Luo Di hurries to shower is because he stinks too much. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novel-fire.ɴet
To kill the Cancer Beast, he directly plunged into its body, and despite the Jaw Splitter preventing most smells, a strong stench is still noticeable.
Luo Di not only had to cleanse every corner of his body but also wash his clothes and a pig’s head clean.
It took quite some time before he finally left the bathroom.
Little did he know, two Spines inside the resting room were still sipping spinal cord drinks, while another one was just about to go take a bath. And they had long discarded their stained outfits and were naked.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
Luo Di’s coat was not dry yet either, so he also returned to the resting room naked. The two demons sipping on marrow glanced at Luo Di’s body and nodded involuntarily.
Luo Di took his clothes over to the stove on the other side of the resting room to quickly dry them and was slightly looking forward to the upcoming selection of legions.
Even though his body was completely relaxed,
Even though it was a resting room free of any danger,
The tongue in his mouth resisted against the upper jaw, forcefully tapping down.
It was not only a warning but also using this clear tongue sound to break something invisible, something that veiled the current resting room.
Bing~ It sounded like thin glass shattering.
Luo Di’s nostrils had already picked up the scent of blood,
Earlier, the Spines who were still sipping self-service drinks had been severed at the waist, with their limbs scattered on the floor.
That Spine who had clearly gone to the bathroom was now standing right behind Luo Di.
This was not any Spine at all.
His mouth was completely open, his eyeballs fallen out.
A crow crawled out from deep in his throat, stuffing his entire mouth.
Black beaks also grew from the depths of his eye sockets, replacing his eyeballs.
His forehead was also covered densely with something like sesame, complex eyes.
Using waves of sound waves to create special illusions.
Just a moment ago, the sound waves emanating from the black beak were altered by the tongue’s sound, causing this stable illusion to be forcibly destroyed.
Seeing that, he no longer disguised himself.
The "Spine’s" abdomen completely split open, and several spider-like fluffy legs stretched out from inside.
The tips were equipped with bizarre spikes,
Oozing out some kind of extremely dense, dark venom.
Eight spider legs rapidly plunged into Luo Di’s body.
However, the spikes that were inserted into the body were about to inject, when they were preemptively trapped embedded in the body and snapped off, also bringing a wave of pain with them.
The black beak screamed,
Dark demon wings grew out of its back, attempting to escape by flying.
Little did it know, a surge of killing intent instantly filled the entire resting room!
Unlike the intense killing intent previously in the Duel Arena, this time, compared with the Spines, it had a bit of coldness mixed in with some raw emotion.
Luo Di’s clothes were now dry, draped onto his body.
He turned and looked at the demon behind him, resembling both a crow and a spider.
And the creature’s flying movements slowed down to the point of standing still, frozen in mid-air.
Because what the black beak saw was not just Luo Di’s face, but also a mask woven of tentacles, this mask even altered Luo Di’s characteristics as a Spine, dying his spinal column grey.
Compared to the deadly slaughter in the Duel Arena, now there was an additional ’unknown’ factor.
It was this unknown that brought forth the most primal Fear.
Not only that... When the two gazed at each other, the black beak also saw the eyes between the mask, seeing the moon-like structure of his pupils.
By the time the demon reacted,
Luo Di, who had leaped into the air, was pressing down on its head, slamming it into the ground.
A swift rise, a clean decapitation,
