Book 5 Chapter 16.3 - Enemy of Life
The one who took the lead was a wolf mantis. In its eyes, Su’s appearance definitely had nothing to do with beauty, only carrying terror. It seemed to have obtained some mysteriousmand, making several dozen nds in its body simultaneously secrete hormones, these hormones delivered to its entire body through its surging bloodstream. Its cruel and brutal consciousness immediately overwhelmed its innate fear, causing it to release a berserk roar, a de hacking fiercely towards Su!
Su lifted his right arm, and then directly used his arm to block this heavy de! The de’s sawtooth edge hacked down on Su’s bone scales, but was stopped without any suspense. Su’s right hand turned over, already grabbing the de’s edge, and with a light ka sound, the wolf mantis’ entire forelimb was torn off. From the insect upper body’s injuries, what flowed out wasn’t blood, but a dark yellow, foul smelling mucus.
Su frowned. He first moved his right hand around, using the removed wolf mantis de to remove its head, and then he flung the de out. The cutting edge whistled through the air, prating the trunk of a spider-like creature, and then came out from the other end.
Su’s right hand was dyed with yellow mucus. Despite the pungent smell, he ced a drop on his tongue. This drop of viscous liquid quickly passed through the mucus membrane, divided up into several hundred little parts, and was then transported to different areas, initiating the gene analysis. The gene analysis process waspleted extremely quickly, the entire processpleted within five minutes, the speed exceeding even the most cutting edge biologicalboratories.
The seriously injured wolf mantis still wanted to continue fighting, but after losing its head, it couldn’t find a target. Its aimlessly brandishing remaining de struck apanion, and then it immediatelytched onto this target with its four ws, at the same time frantically using its de to pierce at the inside of its opponent’s body. The creature that the wolf mantis tangled around waspletely covered under an outer shell. After suddenly being attacked, four enormous tentacles inserted themselves into the wolf mantis’ body at the sentence. With a brandish, the shelled creature immediately tore the damaged wolf mantis body into four parts! As soon as it freed itself from the wolf mantis’ tanglement, its field of vision waspletely upied by Su’s palm!
Su’s five long and slender fingers crushed down like a steel mp, crushing the armored creature’s head shell. A white brain matter like paste continuously gushed out, the smell just as vile. However, Su didn’t seem to mind it at all, still cing a drop in his mouth. With a frown, he then looked towards an insectlike strange beast that was moving in midair. When his eyesnded on his target, Su’s hand already pierced through its insect body. Just like the first two times, Su had a taste of the mucusing out from the bug’s body.
On the other side of the battlefield, Madeline grabbed the de of the wolf mantis, and then with a twist of her wrists, the des were already removed from its forelimbs. Then, like dual-des, with a press and pull, two enormous injuries were already opened. The surging sludge didn’t seem to slow down at all. The youngdy’s movements were quick and graceful. After changing from her usual heavy and forceful style of offense, her destructive force was just as great, if not even more powerful. The wolf mantis’ des, in her hands, transformed into two lumps of dark light, flickering in and out of view. When the des appeared again, they would always be sticking to some strange beast’s vital area, and then with a light pull, a fatal cut would appear under each de.
Comparatively, Cirvanas’ disy of strength seemed to far exceed Su and Madeline’s. The young man supported an anti-gravity force field for himself, and that way, he could move even in the swamp. His bright red lips were bright to the point of looking like they would trickle out blood, his short hair also turning entirely silver. Energy surged around the young man’s body, magic abilities released one after another like rain down on his enemies, bombarding these irregr creatures one after another in a steady rhythm of ice, ice, me, and then energy attack.
Under an advantageous environment, the young man’s ice ability was strengthened considerably. The two ice attacks could freeze any irregr creature, and then the fire ability that changed from extreme cold to extreme heat would make even the sturdiest shell be weak. Meanwhile, those irregr creatures without outer shells protecting them would receiveparatively less damage, but their body’s tissues would still suffer serious damage. Finally, a fierce energy attack would send these creatures that suffered ice and me attacks flying out, worsening the injuries they received several times over.
Cirvanas’ rate of magic ability release was now extremely fast, able to produce two magic attacks every second. Large amounts of cold energy apanied him and steam rose around him, apanied by the shrill whistling sounds of energy attacks; he was simply a human shaped fort!
However, the results of this grand and imposing style of attack were far inferior to Su and Madeline’s. The youngdy seemed to be ying out a dance of death, while Su was a terrifying and ice-cold ughtering machine. His movements were monotonous and mechanical, continuously carrying out the process of locking onto a target, shing close, taking action, and then leaving. Regardless of what type of creature it was that he faced or what area he struck, after Su delivered his strike, no signs of life could be seen from them again.
A minute after the battle began, Su’s body was already ring up, all of hisputing cores entering high speed operation. The degree of analysis of the first wolf mantis’ bodily fluid already exceeded 80%, while the second shelled creature’s gene particles were already in ce, ready to be examined as soon as the wolf mantis’ genes finished its analysis. The third wasp creature’s genes had just finished its dposition, currently waiting to be delivered to its designated analytical site.
As the wolf mantis’ gene analysis approached its end, Su’s brows furrowed closer and closer together. From the initial analysis, the wolf mantis’ genes contained many new gic fragments, to the extent where the gicposition was also extremely different. These were definitely great ‘wealth’ to Su, but the problemid in that this was a badly damaged and iplete wealth. All of the gic fragments were fractured, and even though they could provide some use, they all possessed fatal defects, and were also extremely unstable. The analysis’ results showed that the wolf mantis was a creature with an extremely short lifespan, not exceeding ten days. After ten days, they would undergo something simr to gic copse, thus quickly dying.
Even if it was treatedpletely as a biological weapon, the wolf mantis’ life was still too short. A short lifespan meant a low quality-price ratio, the costs far outweighing the results.
The important thing was that when he tried to merge the wolf mantis’ gene fragments into his own genome, trying to improve them, he discovered many abnormalities and errors. In addition, after these revisions, only a small few gic fragments could be used by Su, the results of all of the other fragments errors. These genes that could be used by Su didn’t help Su at all, after all, from thebat performance alone, one could see that the wolf mantis was not a highly intelligent creature. Its genes were more so used to fill up Su’s gene bank, providing Su with a few more references for his future evolution. However, as an intact biological weapon equipped with considerablebat abilities, how could its body only be made up of fractured and damaged genes?
