Chapter 70: Last Raid: 99% Body Synchronization
Onous’s breath was faint.
Blood continued to spurt out of his mouth.
The green mist serpents scattered everywhere, dissolving.
Lucien retracted his tail and threw the body away.
Thud.
Onous lay limp on the floor, his chest slowly stopped moving.
Lucien still hung on the web, waiting for the poison below to disperse when he suddenly felt a strange energy rippling from Onous’s body.
Lucien whipped his head and saw a tiny glow coming from Onous’s chest— no.
It was from a necklace hidden under his clothes.
Shaaa.....
A soft light covered the wound on Onous’s neck and it slowly stopped bleeding, flesh regrowing.
Onous’s faint breath strengthened and he gasped for air.
"Gah!"
The next second, the necklace dimd and turned into ashes.
"Huuu! Huuu!"
He...he’s still alive!
Onous felt the necklace’s absence and his face turned pale.
His one and only life-saving artifact was used.
Run...
Run!
Onous’s arms trembled as he grabbed sothing in his pocket.
A strong alarm rang in Lucien’s mind.
—Stop...him!
Lucien swung on the thread, his tail struck at Onous’s back with lightning speed.
Bang!
A burst of energy exploded from Onous’s body, deflecting the tail.
"Krrr!!"
Wonggggg.
The void around Onous twisted.
His legs started to vanish into the void.
Lucien’s mind roared.
—Kill!
He pounced towards Onous, claws cutting at Onous’s neck, when—
A torrent of sharp pain cut through his body and blood spurted out into the air.
Splat!
"Krrrr!"
Lucien groaned.
His body fell to the ground and the poison quickly engulfed him.
Onous’s legs had already vanished and his waist soon followed, leaving only his chest.
A relief smile blood on Onous’s pale face, his trembling laughter echoed throughout the hall.
"Haa...hahaha! I-I did it! I survived— "
Tak!
A long leg kicked the floor.
The tile cracked.
Crack!
Swoosh!
A shadow leapt in front of Onous.
Before he could react—
A pair of fangs pierced through his neck.
Crack!
Onous’s smile froze on his face.
"Cough!"
Blood spurted out of his mouth.
H...how...?
The light in his eyes slowly dimd.
Woongggg.
Swish!
Onous’s entire body vanished into the void.
At the sa ti—
Swish! Swish!
The twisting void sliced Lucien’s body apart, tearing his tough skin, cutting his claws and limb.
"Krrrrrkkkk!!"
Lucien shrieked into the air.
A deep, primal hunger struck his belly.
—Energy....
—Eat...!
Two bursts of energy shot out of the corpses on the ground into his body.
[
40%]
[Main dungeon energy reserve: 150%]
[Warning! Warning! Energy overload!]
The entire hall shook.
Grrrkkkk.
The twisting purple energy rushed into Lucien’s body and his wounds rapidly absorbed them all.
"Kkk-kkhhh!"
A fifth leg burst out of Lucien’s spine, tearing apart his flesh and skin.
The excess energy swirled around, continuously tearing his body and repairing it endlessly.
DING! [Body synchronization 95%]
A roaring scream erupted in his mind.
—Ener...gyyyy!!
"Krrrrrhhh!"
Lucien slowly bent on all four, his claws scraping the floor.
Tak. Tak.
Saliva dripped down his lips.
Two balls of energy— way smaller than before appeared in his vision.
Behind the throne.
A shrill voice shrieked in Lucien’s mind.
—Eat...!
Lucien’s pupils shrunk—
And then his figure vanished.
Swoosh!
Lurenzo slid down behind the throne, his face pale.
He clutched his chest as he breathed painfully.
"Huu...hu...fck. Poison."
He tremblingly injected himself with whatever antidotes he had in the iron tubes hanging around his waist, but...
He could feel his consciousness slipping away.
Mumu in his arms also turned green, his body slowly lted.
"Muuu..."
Bad uncle...help...
And then, the wind blew.
A silhouette suddenly appeared in front of them.
Mumu’s body twitched.
This sll!
"Muuu!"
Bad uncle—
Grab.
A thick claw pierced through the fog and strangled Lurenzo’s neck.
"Kuh! T-the hell!"
Lurenzo’s voice cracked.
His feet slowly left the floor, dangling.
"Gah!"
The claws tightened.
Shaaa...
The fog parted and Lucien’s figure appeared.
The mont Lurenzo and Mumu saw Lucien’s full appearance—
Both of them froze stiff on the spot.
W-what...?
Four eyes.
Five spider legs growing from the spine.
Sharp claws.
Long, thick bone tail.
That— can’t be human.
It’s a monster.
Fck.
Lurenzo’s arms trembled as he silently took a gun from his waist, his face reddening.
Fck!!
"Muuuu!"
Mumu trembled. He could sll the scent of a predator coming from Lucien.
Bad uncle...looks like...he’s suffering.
Mumu jumped up and down, trying to touch Lucien’s body.
"Muuu!"
Uncle...sick!
Mumu...heal!
But Lucien couldn’t see Mumu.
In his eyes, Mumu was just a tiny glowing energy and there was one big glowing energy—
Lurenzo.
A murderous aura surged out of Lucien’s body.
The sharp claw slowly pierced Lurenzo’s neck.
At that mont, the system panel jumped up, covering Lucien’s entire face.
[Warning! Warning!]
[Detecting a contract violation attempt!]
[A landlord must not harm their tenant under any circumstances!]
Lucien paused for a split second.
The word landlord shone, piercing his muddy mind.
A...land...lord?
Him?
Lucien froze, his mind blurring.
At the sa ti, Lurenzo tremblingly pointed a gun at Lucien.
"Kuh! L-lunatic."
Lurenzo’s lips trembled, his heart thumping so loud he couldn’t breathe.
He....he’s going to die.
But...he doesn’t want to.
So..
"D-die— "
"Monster!"
Bang!
An energy bullet shot out, piercing right onto Lucien’s body.
"Kkrrrrr!!"
Lucien subconsciously swung Lurenzo away, slamming him to the floor.
Bang!
"Ughhh!"
Lurenzo coughed up blood.
His bones were breaking apart.
Mumu in arms was thrown away several ters, rolling around helplessly.
"Muuuu!"
A sense of frustration bubbled up.
Why...Mumu can’t heal uncle?
In Mumu’s eyes, Lucien was like a glass about to break.
Uncle...is suffering.
A lot.
Lucien touched the energy bullet burning in his chest and his pupils shrunk to a needle.
The word landlord in his mind faded to the background and his murderous aura intensified.
—How...dare...
A re food.
DING! [Body synchronization: 98%]
[Open house duration: 00:00:59]
The sixth leg slowly poked out of Lucien’s spine, the tip already tearing his skin.
—Kill....
"Krrrrr."
Lucien stepped towards Lurenzo.
His tail dragged behind him.
"Muuu!"
B-bad uncle! Stop!
Mumu struggled to move and pounced at Lucien, dangling on his tail.
He quickly climbed up and shrieked, tears slid down his cheeks
"Muuuu!"
Bad uncle!
You’re only harming yourself!
But Lucien turned a deaf ear.
Under the green fog, Lurenzo’s breath was faint, his arms couldn’t hold the gun at all.
Shaaa...
Lucien’s sharp claw drew closer.
Lurenzo could already see the sharp tip splashed with blood and flesh.
Ah...
Lurenzo slowly closed his eyes.
His fingers holding the gun loosened.
"Muuu!"
No...
Mumu could feel Lucien’s scent slowly fading, turning into a completely unfamiliar one.
Bad uncle is going to disappear.
[Body synchronization: 99%]
[Open house duration: 00:00:10]
"Muuu!"
Mumu gnawed at Lucien’s neck, yet the man didn’t even flinch.
Shrrkkk.
The claw already touched Lurenzo’s chest.
Lurenzo could feel the stinging pain.
Is this...the end?
