Chapter 738: Chapter 530: Task 15.1 Chapter 738: Chapter 530: Task 15.1 “Is this because his corpse was taken away, so so kind of balance was broken, and it started coming back to life?”
Colin stood up, his eyes on the things above his head.
It was at this mont that a larger “cocoon” cracked open, its shell made of tree roots, followed by a stream of blurred humanoid smoke that burst out quickly and attacked him.
Without any courtesy, he waved his hand and conjured a thick wave of flas.
As he had expected, just this one move should have been enough to severely damage that thoroughly contaminated humanoid monster…
But to his surprise, the smoke didn’t disperse when it t the flas; instead, it let out a scream.
Imdiately after, a figure was forced out from the smoky state, its head and limbs were shrunken, but its belly was hugely swollen, and there was a large vertical mouth on its stomach, starting from the belly button and split open…
This mouth sucked in violently and actually devoured so of the bonfire.
Moreover, the commotion of the battle seed to have triggered more “cocoons,” as the sound of cracking echoed one after another.
More and more figures rushed out, actually swallowing up the ball of fire he had conjured with a wave of his hand!
“Although the power form is a bit raw, it is indeed ‘Hunger’…”
Colin sighed inwardly at this scene, then unreservedly summoned a surge of frightening flas, engulfing the crooked tree, along with all the contaminated ones that had detached and those still attached…
At first, these non-human creatures with shriveled limbs and enormous bellies could swallow so of the flas through the mouths on their stomachs.
Even a few strong individuals, after consuming the flas, also gained so ability to control them, their bodies surrounded by swirling flas, resembling the bizarre creatures from The Classic of Mountains and Seas…
Though it wasn’t “Primordial Fire” but rather the characteristics of “Wildfire,” it was still shocking.
But as the flas continued to intensify, surpassing their threshold, one after another, they collapsed to the ground under the scorching fire, oozing grease, turning into charred remains, and eventually turning to ash…
Colin kept his gaze on the ashes without stopping, continuing to burn until even the ashes were consud down to more primitive particles.
“Overall, this thing is definitely not as it was, but even so, it has about the strength of a Third Level Containnt Subject, and due to the trait of ‘Hunger,’ once it feasts for a while, consuming so things, it can continue to grow…”
“If one weren’t several levels stronger, it would not be easy to handle.”
Colin gave a simple evaluation.
He had wanted to keep one for observation, but realizing that this thing’s hunger was stirring sothing deep within him, he chose to thoroughly burn it clean to avoid accidents.
Moreover, after clashing with these creatures, he felt that this D level employee had quite good strength indeed, capable of investigating alone and dealing with the incident on the spot. Despite the close brush with mutual destruction, the foundation of his strength was clearly solid…
At least compared to the current employees on the Earth side of the company, not a single one was confident they could solve it alone.
Even if a D Level team were sent over, if they weren’t well-prepared, the likelihood of failure was not small.
“Ah, the good news is, the D levels from Earth don’t seem weaker than those from outside, but the bad news is they’re all from the past.”
Shaking his head and collecting his thoughts, Colin observed his surroundings for a while, confirming there were no similar anomalies before beginning to lay on buffs for himself.
After a dozen minutes or so, Colin, wreathed in flas, pointed towards the sky. A fireball gathered at his fingertips and swiftly shot up into the sky, suspended in this world and radiating in all directions, illuminating this misty, dimly hidden world with light.
Under the fla perception, the area here was neither very large nor very small but spanned at least ten thousand acres, mostly covered by forest. The trees looked sickly, and aside from plants, there wasn’t a single live animal.
Even the chirping of insects was coming from the outside world…
“Since there wasn’t really anything alive to begin with, might as well be a bit more thorough…”
Colin glanced at the limp trees and felt that even alive, they seed quite weary…
At once, he closed his five fingers into a fist, and the fireball in the sky exploded into dozens of pieces, trailing long tails of fire, plumting towards the surrounding area.
The sounds of huge impacts ca from all directions…
In less than fifteen minutes, firelight lit up the entire world, tree after tree twisting and burning in the flas, thick smoke gathering at the sky’s do, forming dark red, magma-like flowing clouds of fire smoke.
The whole small world-like independent space was set afla!
In the fiercely burning flas, faint, inhuman screams mixed in. Those seed to be the howls of so aberrations.
But those howls did not last long and were consud by the deep red, leaving only the whoosh of flas.
And at this mont, all of the original eerie and bizarre atmosphere was completely burned away.
“Good, good, good, the air is much sweeter now…”
Colin took a deep breath, feeling much more cheerful.
No, to be more precise, as the sky filled with flas, Colin felt that this small world was transforming into his domain, everything within it under his control.
This feeling was very strange and comforting.
However, a world completely covered in fire and smoke was not so comfortable for beings like “Yukionna.”
So, she hid herself well inside her ring…
And after the flas had sufficiently taken hold, Colin’s figure lded into the flas, and in the next second, several kiloters away, in front of the burnt-down ancestral hall, wisps of bonfire swirled and converged, forming his figure.
