Chapter 8: Adrenaline Will Help You Break Through the Enemy's Encirclement!
…………
"Holy crap! That's incredible?!"
Su Chen was stunned for a moment. He looked at his right hand, which was still crackling with electricity, and then at the gruesome headless rat corpse on the ground. His heart pounded wildly.
He knew that the initial level three lightning element was very strong, but he didn't expect it to be this strong!
The giant-eyed rat's proudly hard skull was as fragile as paper in the face of the furious attack!
"Hahaha! That's awesome! That's fucking awesome!"
Su Chen's confidence surged to its peak, and the last trace of tension he had felt earlier vanished. He raised his head, his gaze fixed intently on the remaining seven giant-eyed rats, as if he were looking at a pile of walking banknotes.
"Come on! Let's hurt each other!"
The remaining seven giant-eyed blood rats were clearly stunned by the sudden and gruesome death of their companion. Although demons are bloodthirsty, they also have an instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm. The lightning aura emanating from this human made them feel a deadly threat.
"Squeak squeak squeak!!!"
The largest rat, the Giant-Eyed Bloody Rat, appeared to be the leader of the group, and it let out a sharp screech.
Immediately afterwards, the remaining seven giant-eyed blood rats stopped their blind attack and quickly dispersed, forming a semi-encirclement around Su Chen. At the same time, their enormous single eyes began to engorge blood, the scarlet light growing brighter and brighter.
"Want to fly a kite? No way!"
Su Chen sneered; he hadn't forgotten the Giant-Eyed Blood Rat's signature move, the Crimson Ray.
"Thunder Seal - Mad Strategy!"
"Zzzzzzz—!!!"
Several purple arcs of electricity erupted from Su Chen's body like a wild dance of demons, transforming into a dense net of lightning that directly enveloped the giant-eyed blood rats around him!
While the single-target damage of the Berserker's Strike is not as great as that of the Furious Strike, its attack range is extremely wide, and the most annoying thing about lightning magic is its paralysis effect!
"Clap clap clap clap!"
The lightning net instantly struck four of the giant-eyed blood rats. The raging lightning element surged into their bodies, destroying their nervous systems.
The four giant-eyed blood rats, which were preparing to fire scarlet rays, suddenly froze. The red light in their single eye instantly dissipated, and their massive bodies fell uncontrollably to the ground, convulsing wildly and foaming at the mouth.
Compared to the more powerful Furious Strike, the Berserker's paralysis control ability is clearly more useful in this situation!
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Just then, the other three giant-eyed blood rats that hadn't been affected finally seized their opportunity. Three crimson rays, each as thick as a thumb and carrying extremely high temperatures, shot towards Su Chen's vitals from three different directions!
"Depend on!"
Although Su Chen's spellcasting was fast, he lacked practical combat experience, and his positioning awareness was still at the level of an ordinary person. Faced with these three rays that blocked his retreat, he could only awkwardly roll to the side like a lazy donkey.
"Sizzle!!"
A beam of light grazed the hem of his trench coat and struck the wall, instantly melting a deep crater in the hard concrete. Another beam burned through his left sleeve, leaving a charred, bloody gash on his arm.
"Ouch!! That fucking hurts!"
Su Chen gasped in pain, but the intense agony also unleashed his ferocity!
Adrenaline will help you break through the encirclement!
"You dare ruin my clothes! You'd all die!"
Su Chen leaped up from the ground, ignoring the injury on his arm, his eyes fixed on the three giant-eyed blood rats that had just released their rays and were in a state of transition where their old power had just dissipated and their new power had not yet been generated.
"Thunder Seal - Wrathful Strike!"
"Thunder Seal - Wrathful Strike!"
"Thunder Seal - Wrathful Strike!"
With perfect control granted by the system, Su Chen's casting speed was outrageously fast. In just three seconds, he unleashed three low-level level three spells in succession!
Three thick bolts of purple lightning, like the scythe of death, struck the three giant-eyed, bloody rats with pinpoint accuracy.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
With three consecutive loud bangs, the three giant-eyed rats were instantly torn to pieces by the violent power of lightning, and limbs mixed with foul-smelling blood splattered all over the ground.
Having dealt with the three threats, Su Chen turned to look at the four giant-eyed blood rats that had just recovered from their paralysis and were preparing to escape.
"Trying to run now? Too late!"
What followed turned into a one-sided massacre.
Su Chen was like a tireless thunder king, unleashing a torrent of firepower in the sewers. His initial level three magical energy reserves far exceeded those of level one and two, enough for him to expend for quite some time.
"boom!"
"Bang!"
"Sizzle!"
Lightning flashed and screams echoed.
In less than five minutes, the entire underground reservoir fell completely silent.
Su Chen gasped for breath, leaning against a concrete pillar. Although the battle hadn't lasted long, the mental and physical exertion from such a life-or-death struggle was immense. His trench coat was torn in several places, his arms were burned, and his face was covered in dust and blood, making him look somewhat disheveled.
But as he looked at the charred corpses of the giant-eyed rats scattered on the ground, a grin spread from his lips to his ears.
"Eight heads, all wiped out! I really am a genius!"
After resting for a while, Su Chen calmed his breathing, rubbed his hands together, and walked towards the corpses with anticipation.
In the magical world, every part of a demon is a treasure. Their bones can be used to forge magical artifacts, their hides to make armor, and if you're incredibly lucky enough to find a fragment or remnant of a spirit, it's priceless!
"Come on, let Daddy see what amazing gear you guys got!"
Su Chen walked up to the first giant-eyed rat whose head had been smashed open in a rage, squatted down, and, suppressing his nausea, began rummaging through the charred corpse.
After searching for a long time, there was nothing but roasted rotten meat.
"Tch, poor bastard."
Su Chen pursed his lips and walked towards the second end.
This creature was struck directly by "Rage Strike," its entire body nearly carbonized. Su Chen kicked it, and the corpse shattered into a pile of black dust.
"..."
The third head was also charred black, its bones brittle from the high temperature of the lightning, crumbling at the slightest touch, hardly qualifying as an alien bone.
The fourth one...
The fifth one...
After Su Chen searched through the corpses of the eight giant-eyed rats, the smile on his face froze completely, replaced by a constipated expression as if he had eaten a dead fly.
"Holy crap! Are you kidding me?!"
Su Chen couldn't help but curse.
The eight giant-eyed, bloody rats didn't even have a single complete piece of their strange bones or a single complete piece of their strange skin!
As for the remnants of the soul and the essence of the soul...
Okay, Su Chen didn't have any undead artifacts capable of obtaining fragments or essences of the soul. Even if an essence dropped, he wouldn't be able to collect it...
"This is totally illogical! Even with a low drop rate, shouldn't an eight-headed monster drop something?"
Su Chen was on the verge of tears. He carefully examined the shattered bones and charred fur, and finally made a sad discovery.
