Chapter 53: Chapter 53: Purple Ability!
Shen Hao witnessed the Matrix being placed into the cage; it no longer had any will to resist, and the same was true for the other crawling Blood Demon Subordinates.
Just these living Blood Demons alone were incredibly important and valuable spoils of war.
Many targeted experiments and research could now be initiated.
As Shen Hao had said, regardless of the future, the greatest enemy of the entire Human Civilization at present were the Blood Demons.
And capturing the Matrix was still a crucial victory in this war that concerned the survival of civilization!
There was no doubt about it!
The rest of the team also began to take action, with many subsequent matters being urgently prepared, and Shen Hao also started to check the rewards he received as the first Chosen One to control the Blood Demon Mother.
A few days earlier, Qiuyue, as the world’s first Chosen One to kill a Blood Demon, received a blue ability as the first kill reward, showing that the Civilization Trial had this mechanism, and the rewards Shen Hao received at this moment were undoubtedly even more impressive.
A Purple Epic Ability, a Blue Level 5 Equipment.
That’s right, Blue Level 5.
In the few days since the war began, this was the first time he had seen blue equipment.
And it was a type that was quite useful to him as well.
——Magic Wand.
Yes, a Magic Wand, but clearly it was not just any wand. Just by looking at the sharp spike at its tip, one could tell it was intended for Melee Mages.
But what Shen Hao valued most was its Spirit +3, Transcendent +2 equipment effect.
It was still effective for those below forty points!
At this moment, with a stretch of his hand, the two-meter-long Magic Wand appeared directly in his grasp, and in an instant, his map range expanded to a radius of seventeen thousand kilometers!
A diameter spanning thirty-four kilometers!
Just in that instant, the map displayed dozens more Blood Demon markers!
“Indeed, equipment is very important,” Shen Hao swung the Magic Wand in his hand, although he needed to hold it to utilize its effect, the result was enough to cover most downsides.
It was no exaggeration to say that with this range, he alone might be able to gradually sweep the entire country clean of Blood Demons!
There was also the Purple Ability.
When Shen Hao looked at the Purple Epic Ability he had obtained, he could not help but raise an eyebrow.
Thunder!
“The blue ability I received before was Electric Shock, and now it’s Thunder. It seems I have quite the affinity with this,” Shen Hao mused for a moment, then without hesitation, directly slotted it into his ability bar.
In an instant, a purple thunder spread rapidly from his body, and his eyes seemed to flash with the light of lightning, but soon Shen Hao brought it under control, mastering the entire ability in just a moment.
After a brief comprehension, he couldn’t help but show a pleased expression.
He chose to use this ability partly because Purple Abilities were already not easy to come by in the current situation.
On the other hand, it was because he indeed needed a more effective means of eradication.
While Telekinesis was versatile, it was limited by distance, and continuing to use Flying Knife also had certain areas where it was difficult to strike.
But this “Thunder” ability, power aside, had a sufficiently long range!
For the average Chosen One, it might be difficult to control after being deployed, but for Shen Hao, this wasn’t an issue.
From the moment he acquired this ability, he had reached the highest degree of control.
To the point of perfection.
“Let’s give it a try.” He did not board the armed helicopter but enveloped himself with Telekinesis, rising into the air.
Just when the others had no idea what he was planning, they saw Shen Hao raise his magic wand and wave it.
Boom—!
The sound of thunder, so close it almost seemed within reach, exploded in succession!
Bolt after bolt of twisting, writhing lightning kept shooting out, striking certain places within the city.
It even startled some of the unsuspecting residents and soldiers who were in the middle of their search.
However, once the soldiers recovered, they too realized what had happened.
They hurriedly rushed towards the locations struck by lightning.
Indeed! At each spot, there were the desiccated remains left by the Blood Demons!
Some soldiers, looking up at the figure in the sky at least fifteen kilometers away, couldn’t help but murmur,
“It feels like Heavenly Punishment.”
Yes, this move was indeed too much like a Heavenly Punishment!
Since ancient times, thunder has represented humanity’s primal awe of nature, and those who controlled thunder were all powerful Heavenly Gods!
It was even a direct manifestation of the will of Heaven and Earth—the punishment from above.
And now, the Blood Demons’ Heavenly Punishment had arrived!
Confident in its effectiveness, Shen Hao unleashed thunderbolt after thunderbolt without holding back, and as they roared through, all the Blood Demons were swept clean.
Under that powerful control, no matter if the Blood Demons hid inside buildings or beneath the ground, Shen Hao could easily deal with them.
Even those spherical lightning bolts could now be cast at will by him!
This scene was recorded by some brave residents and posted online.
In just a moment, it drew the focus of people anxiously following the front-line war.
One explosion after another.
“Holy shit, Thunder Skill!”
“Take a look at this, Taoists of Dragon and Tiger Mountain!”
“Is he pinpoint clearing Blood Demons? Is he hitting the right targets?”
“Isn’t that Shen Hao, the Chosen One? Could he possibly have a new ability?”
“Why does it feel like he’s gotten countless times stronger in just a few days?”
“Big bro, come to our city too, I’m too scared to step outside now!”
“…”
Most people were astonished, marveling at the power, and many were inviting Shen Hao to their cities. In the face of the threat posed by the Blood Demons, it seemed as if Shen Hao alone was enough to safeguard the security of an entire city.
However, people were soon drawn to another piece of official news.
[Donghua City’s battle has achieved a comprehensive victory! The end is near!]
Once this news was released, it truly created a sensation, the impact of which extended not just across the nation but spread at an astonishing speed around the whole world!
Countless people started to check spontaneously, share, and focus on this battlefield.
More detailed information was subsequently disclosed.
“After a continuous battle lasting three days and three nights, we have basically eliminated all the Blood Demons within Donghua City, including the surrounding towns and villages… The total number of confirmed and cleared Blood Demons has reached six thousand eight hundred and twenty-one. Currently, there are approximately two hundred Blood Demons still in hiding. However, the leader of the Chosen One team in charge of this battle, Shen Hao, has mastered the ability for large-scale precise hunting of Blood Demons. It is anticipated that in thirty minutes, a comprehensive sweep will be completed without any remaining… At the same time, for the first time, we have captured more than forty Blood Demon prisoners, which will allow us to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the Blood Demons…”
