Chapter 100 100: Against A Extraterrestrial Monster
"Huh? Where did it go?!"
Evan\'s eyes widened in surprise as he realized the monster had vanished, its presence now ominously absent. He had only blinked once, but in that brief moment, the Wormface had seized the opportunity to slink away into the shadows. Evan\'s heart raced with adrenaline as he frantically scanned his surroundings, searching for any sign of the elusive creature.
Quake!
Evan was abruptly jolted out of his panicked state by a violent tremor that shook the ground beneath his feet. In an instant, his instincts took over, and he shed his apprehensiveness, replacing it with a fierce determination. His features hardened into those of a battle-hardened soldier, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes, showing that he knew what was to come and that he was ready for it.
[You have activated Quickstep!]
Without a moment\'s hesitation, he leaped backward with all his might.
"Fuck, that was close."
His body moved with lightning speed as he narrowly avoided the menacing Wormface that burst out from where he stood just a moment ago.
The ground quaked beneath him as he landed several feet away from it, quickly regaining his composure.
Grrr!
The wormface\'s razor-sharp claws and teeth gleamed in the dim light of the torches as it snarled in frustration at missing its prey.
The wormface crouched menacingly, triggering a sense of familiarity in Evan. He knew it was about to launch itself at him like a rocket. Having faced numerous wormfaces in the game he played in his past life, he was intimately familiar with their attacking patterns. He anticipated the creature\'s next move and readied himself to react accordingly.
Whoosh!
The very next moment, the Wormface launched itself towards Evan with incredible speed, its gaping jaws with rows of razor-sharp teeth aimed straight at his face. Evan\'s heart pounded in his chest, and goosebumps rose on his skin as he felt the hot breath of the monster on his face. The distance between them closed in an instant, and it looked like it was the end for him.
But in a split second, Evan vanished into thin air, leaving the Wormface\'s jaws to snap shut in vain.
The monster\'s momentum carried it forward, and it crashed into the ground with a deafening thud, its frustration palpable.
In that very instant, Evan reappeared behind the Wormface, his imposing figure towering over the monster, filling the space between them with a deadly silence. The fingers of his right hand stretched out, and icy cold tendrils burst out of their tips, swirling and twirling in a fierce and elegant dance. The tendrils weaved around each other, condensing into a frost bullet that made direct contact with the back of the Wormface\'s head.
The monster shuddered, sensing the imenient danger it was in. Its body tensed as it tried to move, but it was too late.
"Point blank Frost bullet!" Evan\'s voice rang out, filled with fierce determination.
Boom!
The frost bullet exploded from his finger with a deafening roar, drilling into the Wormface\'s head with immense force. The bullet pierced through the monster\'s thick skull before exploding, releasing an immense frigid air that froze the Wormface\'s body in place.
The once-terrifying Wormface was now a frozen statue, its jaws forever locked in a snarl of rage and frustration. The frigid air had spread through its body at a ridiculously fast pace, turning it into a frozen statue that would never move again at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Unable to move its body, the wormface squirmed its eyes at Evan threateningly, as he looked back at it mockingly.
"My my, it seems you\'re in quite a predicament, my dear Wormface. Fear not, however, for I shall put an end to your suffering."
With a swift movement, Evan\'s elbow collided with the frozen body of the Wormface. The impact shattered the frozen monster into countless pieces, each shard reflecting the dim light of the torches in a dazzling display. The shards scattered across the floor with a sharp clatter, echoing through the tunnel as they bounced off the walls. The sound was deafening, as if a thousand glass bottles had been smashed at once, leaving behind a glittering and dangerous mess that covered the floor.
[Ding! Congratulations, Player Evan. You have killed a level 14 Extraterrestrial Monster. You\'ve gained +140 EXP, and +4 DEX!]
[As this is your first time killing a Extraterrestrial Monster above the 13th level, you will gain an additional reward. You get +100 EXP!]
"That was supposed to be one tough bastard," Evan let out a breathless chuckle, surveying the glittering shards of the Wormface\'s body scattered across the floor. "But it looks like it couldn\'t handle the power of my Frost Bullet!"
...
The massive, sentient skyscraper loomed over the throngs of mesmerized onlookers, who were surrounded by a sea of holographic screens that broadcasted Evan\'s epic battle with the monstrous Wormface. The spectators were a mix of awe and terror as they watched in rapt attention, transfixed by the intense battle that was unfolding before their very eyes.
"Is this even real?!" exclaimed Alistair, casting a skeptical eye on the broadcast. "The Wormface is an extraterrestrial monster known for its unyielding resilience and endurance. Even a team of highly skilled cultivators at level 10 of soul manifestation would struggle to take it down. Yet here we have His highness soloing it!"
"The spirit of the monster tower doesn\'t know how to lie," Magnus interjected, before warning with a stern look that demanded absolute obedience whether one liked it or not.
"And I better not hear such careless remarks like that again. Otherwise, there will be a price to pay."
Magnus issued a stern warning to the officials, his voice laced with an undercurrent of malice. His words hung in the air like a heavy fog, warning the bastards that there will be consequences if they made careless remarks.
The officials recoiled under his intense gaze, feeling a chill run down their spine. They knew better than to cross the towering figure standing before them, whose power and influence were legendary in the Sun Moon Empire.
