Nightmare's Call Chapter 294 - Defense: Part 1

Chapter 294: Defense: Part 1

The gla.s.s door shattered upon impact as the dark-skinned woman with white hair strutted into the building. She then s.h.i.+fted like a ghost, green light rising on her back as she lunged toward the stairway.

The woman could outrun the elevator when she flew up the stairs. In less than ten seconds, she had come to the cat cafe, kicking open the door and striding in.

The injured were moaning in pain in the corners of the cafe. But at the center of the blast, nothing remained in one piece. The walls and ceiling were full of b.l.o.o.d.y slurry and darkened by the fire from the explosion.

Lin Sheng stood at the center, looking back at the entrance with a grave expression. “Who are you?”

“Why ask when you have found our division?” the dark-skinned woman with white hair asked gloomily, strutting toward Lin Sheng. “If not for the people from the Moon basin, I would have killed you. You were just lucky back then. But this time, you won’t be able to get away!”

“Whale Tail!” With the lift of her right arm, a virtual whale’s tail appeared behind her. At over eight-meter wide and ten-meter long, the tail almost filled the entire s.p.a.ce in the cafe.

The whale tail swept through the air, blocking out any light from above and smas.h.i.+ng down at Lin Sheng. The speed and energy field of the tail swept debris and body parts up in the air.

The whale’s tail was a simulation from the Violence cla.s.s, which was one of the three schools of dark energy: the Corrupt, Violence, and Elusion. It was fundamental

Judging from the changes in its basic properties, expansion, simulation, and short activation, this whale tail followed the simulation route.

As the giant tail swept across the room, it moved air was like a pump. The entire floor shook.

After the simulation, the dark energy gathered and materialized before the tail smashed at Lin Sheng.

Startled, Lin Sheng summoned eight-tenth of his dark energy to form a layer of green crystal s.h.i.+eld before him. But the thin s.h.i.+eld did not look having the same order of magnitude as the whale’s tail.

In a split second, the whale’s tail hit the crystal s.h.i.+eld. The impact sent debris of the dark energy flying, turning into light dots and vanis.h.i.+ng in midair.

Whether it was the whale’s tail or the s.h.i.+eld, the application of the dark energy has achieved a high degree of solidification. But the clash of two dark-energy forces still caused a great deal of damage.

Lin Sheng was sent flying out through the window and crash-landing on the roof of another office building not far away.

His face was pale, leveraging the falling momentum with his hands, he stabilized himself and stood on his feet again.

“Very impressive power!” Lin Sheng’s eyes searched for the dark-skinned woman, but she was nowhere to be seen. Still in the cafe a while ago, now she was gone.

“Sh*t!” Lin Sheng realized something was wrong. He lifted his hand at once. Dark-energy crystals swirled in his palm and transformed into spikes around him.

Spike and filament were the lowest-end, simplest yet most useful abilities of dark energy. Even learners who had just awakened to the dark energy could use them. The only difference was the amount and level of refinement.

Lin Sheng summoned hundreds of this filament at once. Each had a power value and energy exhaustion of 0.1. So, that made the total power consumption at tens of points.

To ordinary students, using this ability would drain their energy. But for Lin Sheng, this was just a big move of high energy consumption.

The dense array of dark energy shot out in all directions, exposing a transparent humanoid in the s.p.a.ce to his right, coming less than three meters away from him.

With little time to think, Lin Sheng focused his remaining dark energy on his right palm and hit straight at the transparent figure. The surging violent energy formed a beating green flame on Lin Sheng’s arm.

The move contained over 300 dark energy values, and its attack power was equivalent to that of a Two-winger.

“What a joke!” The dark-skinned woman did not dodge. Instead, she reached out for Lin Sheng’s hand.

The woman did not know any palm technique, but she knew her dark energy was far more than her opponent. She was confident of crus.h.i.+ng her opponent with only the basic dark-energy increment. She thought so, and she did it.

This move contained over 400 units of dark energy.

The woman smirked. A huge whale’s tail again emerged from behind her. It split into two and smashed in from both sides.

“Go to h.e.l.l!”

The huge whale tails met just as the hands collided head-on. The flame-like dark energy exploded on impact and spread out in a circle of gray ripples and smoke.

The energy blew Lin Sheng flying out sideways, and he fell from the top of the ten-story office building.

In that split second, Lin Sheng reached out in mid-air and grabbed a section of the air-conditioning rack on the wall on the fifth floor. The rack creaked and twisted. Unable to withstand the extra weight, the screws fastening the rack to the wall came off half-way and was about to fall off altogether.

Lin Sheng kicked his feet on the wall. Leveraging the rebounding force, he flew and crashed into a window on the opposite building.

The dark-skinned woman leaped and jumped down from the top of the building. The flame-like dark energy shooting out from her back thrust her to fly in an arc in the air before cras.h.i.+ng into the window where Lin Sheng had just gone into.

“Not dead yet?” As soon as she landed, she saw Lin Sheng getting to his feet in the living room. He looked a sight, covered in dust and his clothes tattered. His chest was heaving as if he was tired. Even apex Two-wingers could not take a hit like that. This fella must have quite the luck today, she thought, feeling a little surprised. “But your luck will end here.”

She stepped out. The huge whale’s tail emerged behind her again, sweeping in a sideways motion and covering the entire s.p.a.ce of the living room. Her dark energy simulation was power. After the activation, she could maintain her power and absorb the dark-energy existence in the surrounding air.

Energy exhaustion-wise, she only needed to create a whale tail at the beginning. And after that, it would last her for a while and she could use it whenever she needed it.

Lin Sheng knew what the power of activation was like now. As long as he could master the temporary activation skills, even if he had only 100 units of dark energy left, he could still create a 100-unit dark-energy activation model. And before the activation ended or annihilated, his power would always stay at the peak of 100-unit dark-energy.

The horrific force of the whale tail hit Lin Sheng flying out again. He crashed through a wall into another large office on the left. Aside from damaging computers and furniture, people in the office did not react in time. They were hit, spitting blood and falling to the floor.
