Endless Debt

Chapter 1239: Chapter 57: Strange Adventure

Under the hurricane-like strike, the monster’s head twisted and shattered, and in this terrifying instant, not just its head but its entire body seemed to be torn apart by invisible forces, instantly turning into flying fragments.

As control over Ether deepened, Bologue could now simply leak Ether, attaching it like invisible flames to weapons, further enhancing lethality, akin to Ethereal Shock activated with the strike.

Despite the viciousness of the move, Bologue felt no relief, solely because he realized there was not a drop of blood flowing from the wound in the monster during the decapitation process.

A tide of wailing echoed continuously, the monster’s figure shaking violently, and the exposed surface of the skin showed a bizarre scene.

Bologue could distinctly see that the cross-section of the skin was no longer normal flesh, but filled with pure, surging Ether, which at this moment was embodied, blurred yet powerful, burning like flames in the cross-section, radiating intense energy.

The resentful bite struck again, splitting the monster’s fractured form in two, and instantaneously high concentration Ether gushed out from the horrifying wound, lacking fixed form, like hunting tongues of fire, roaring tumultuously at times, tame like flowing water at others.

The color of Ether also constantly changed, from bright gold to bewildering violet, then to a dazzling blue-green, with different colored energies intertwining, forming a bizarre yet beautiful depiction, with rapid changes akin to this chaotic Ruins District.

"A nearly completely Etherealized energy state body?" Observing this scene, Bologue couldn’t help but speculate, "An unknown Ether creation?"

Just as Bologue was preparing his next move, the monster’s broken form, scattered in the air, suddenly paused, then seemingly reversing in time, as the fragments started moving backward, rearranging according to some peculiar order, emitting faint light at the edges, attracting each other.

The entire process was dazzling yet like a distorted horror painting.

Fragments touching and merging, countless tiny lines could be seen dancing in the air, weaving through the shards like phantoms, continuously connecting them, with the monster emitting fearful sounds throughout the reassembly, accompanied by harsh noises of friction between the fragments, as if the entire body were groaning in extreme agony.

At this moment, the monster’s body detached from Etherealization, reverting to flesh, muscle, skeleton, and organs began reconnecting, each shard returning to its original position, like puzzle pieces slowly pieced together.

"Does it even have an Undying Nature?"

Bologue encountered such a bizarre entity for the first time, and after kicking this broken body, Bologue sprinted frantically.

Facing these seemingly unkillable creatures, Bologue didn’t want to waste any energy on them; he just wanted to quickly leave this area.

Yet this office layer was much larger than he imagined, as if endless, no matter how far Bologue ran, what awaited him were repeated monotonous workstations, while those monsters continued to make noise, closely following behind Bologue.

Bologue recalled information about the Ruins District, trying to find details about these monsters, but after several confirmations, Bologue was certain there was no record of these monsters in the data; they appeared after the Order Bureau abandoned exploration of the Ruins District... or possibly existed long ago but were never discovered in previous explorations.

Yes! That might be the case, during this period, the Ruins District continued evolving towards complete chaos, evident from the spatial dislocation of the elevators.

Bologue was supposed to head to the Logistics Department, but the elevator took him to the office area of another division, signaling the spatial fusion Mamo feared was happening, where dispersed department spaces were merging together.

"Damn!"

Bologue felt a sinking feeling, indicating the related documents Mamo previously provided were likely useless now, and his subsequent actions would entirely rely on his own exploration.

A workstation on one side was overturned, with a roaring monster charging at Bologue from the side; Bologue decisively leaped, stepping on the desk, lowering his body, and grabbed the paper cutter beside the printer.

Turning, throwing, Bologue had always been precise with his knife throws. ƒrēewebnovel.com

The sharp paper cutter severed the monster’s head, and the headless body stumbled over several workstations before slowly stopping, rising again a few seconds later, roaring as it charged at Bologue.

Bologue waved his hand, causing under the influence of Power of Command, desks, stationery, papers, and other items to autonomously move, rapidly convolving together to form a massive and fierce force. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

The swiftly moving objects resembled a roaring tide, violently crashing toward the trailing monsters, swirling, dancing with boundless power and rage, launching a counterattack against the monsters.

The monsters were struck by this violent assault, shattered into pieces of flesh, splattered blood and broken bones, further disintegrating into pure Ether.

Agonized screams echoed in the air, the monsters although extremely bizarre, still appeared insignificant in the face of Bologue’s power.

With storage cabinets knocked over everywhere, various personal items scattered around, Bologue thought, these should have belonged to the logistics staff, they merely assumed today was an ordinary working day like any other, not knowing hours later, Xilin invaded this place, destroying everything.
