Chapter 153 Something happened

With a sound that seemed to pierce the sky, the long sword, gleaming with cold light, shot out like an arrow and pierced straight into the chest of the terrifying monster with lightning speed.

The giant blade, imbued with immense energy, seemed to possess boundless power, easily piercing a gaping hole through the monster's hard chest. Blood gushed out instantly like a fountain, leaving shocking streaks in the air.

The monster let out a shrill and painful roar, a sound that seemed to pierce through one's soul and echoed throughout the space.

It could now clearly feel the vital energy within its body being ruthlessly severed. A strong sense of crisis enveloped it, making it foresee that its fate would be extremely tragic, with absolutely no chance of survival.

Therefore, a surge of resolute courage welled up within it, and it resolutely decided to wage a desperate battle.

Even knowing that what awaits them ahead may be the abyss of death, they will never back down an inch and will fight with their last ounce of strength to seize that slim chance of survival.

This is the last hope for survival.

"Roar—ou—"

The monster let out a loud cry and actually broke free from several tentacles that bound its lair.

"grumble----"

The nest made its first sound, a "chirp" like a chick.

She's kind of cute. Maybe that's why she doesn't usually bark.

This time it was really anxious, and it made such a big mistake in front of its owner, which made it feel very embarrassed.

Just as the lair was about to lock the monster up again, the monster suddenly shrank into a ball, turning into a deformed fleshy blob.

This fleshy ball, though described as having shrunk into a ball, actually looked more like it had collapsed. After shrinking into a section, it gradually compressed from a monster hundreds of meters tall into a fleshy ball about fifty meters in size.

What should have been the head was now in an extremely bizarre twisted shape, like a soft snake slowly stretching towards the endless sky, and then, as if drawn by some mysterious force, it was forcibly shrank into the deep chest cavity.

Its neck, which was already rather inconspicuous and somewhat frail, had completely disappeared at this moment, as if it had never existed.

On that deformed face, the gaping mouth was wide open, yet not a sound came out, as if an invisible shackle had bound its throat, leaving it only able to silently and desperately make that shouting gesture toward the sky, as if telling the heavens of endless cries and pain.

The countless pained faces that had been embedded in its body like a demonic curse were now gradually shrinking, each face seemingly being eroded and devoured bit by bit by its own scalding flesh, as if these marks of pain were being mercilessly erased.

The faces wailed as they gradually faded from the horrific body, leaving only a deathly silence and an atmosphere of despair.

"This is……"

As the monster began to shrink into a ball, Meros started to retreat. By the time Meros was almost at the edge of the light shield, the entire monster had collapsed into a fleshy ball with a diameter of only a dozen meters.

Its originally deformed and twisted body had turned into a smooth ball of flesh, and apart from the hollow face still embedded in the ball, it was no longer recognizable as it once was.

Looking at the ball of flesh, Meros sensed something was terribly wrong; he had a feeling that something beyond his control was about to happen.

So, Meros reached out and condensed a black energy ball, gradually compressing it to increase its destructive power.

"Thorn-"

"boom--"

The energy ball that Meros threw, carrying intense light and momentum, streaked across the sky like a meteor and flew rapidly forward.

At the same time, the strange fleshy ball also emitted high-frequency vibrations, as if something was about to break out of its shell.

Just as the two were about to collide, a sense of foreboding suddenly welled up in Meros's heart. A strange sense of crisis instantly enveloped his mind. He sensed something was wrong and knew that this collision would probably not be as simple as he had hoped.

In that brief instant, Meros clearly saw that, just a second before the collision, the fleshy ball seemed to suddenly come to life, its surface beginning to shimmer with a strange light.

Then, it exploded at an astonishing speed, with pieces of flesh flying everywhere like a bloody rain.

However, Meros was now in a dilemma. He wanted to retrieve the energy ball that had already been fired, but the distance was too close and there was no time left.

He could only watch helplessly as the energy ball continued its forward trajectory, colliding violently with the exploded ball of flesh.

In an instant, the world seemed to be shaken by a powerful force, shockwaves spread outwards, and everything around trembled, as if the whole world was about to collapse.

At that moment, at the center of the violent explosion, which resembled a volcanic eruption, an extremely tiny, needle-like spot of light, its color completely different from its surroundings, appeared abruptly, like a lonely, twinkling star in the night sky.

It seemed to be filled with a nameless fear and urgency, as if it were fleeing in panic. Following the surging and powerful explosive force, it swiftly arrived at the edge of the light shield.

The light shield was like an indestructible, transparent shield, emitting a faint halo, while the pale green light spot was like a cunning little insect, carefully beginning to erode the seemingly unbreakable light shield.

It silently, yet very quickly, gnawed at the material of the light shield bit by bit, as if casting a magical spell.

In no time, it successfully corroded a tiny hole, just big enough for its small body to pass through.

Then, like a free spirit, it eagerly darted out.

After it finally managed to squeeze out, the person in front of it was Lin Xiyue, who had been nervously observing the situation.

"What is this? (O_o)??"

Lin Xiyue looked at the somewhat timid point of light in front of her with great curiosity.

She had seen the previous explosion and thought all the problems had been solved.

Lin Xiyue reached out her hand, wanting to touch the point of light.

"Yueyue! No!!!"

Just as Lin Xiyue was about to touch the point of light, a somewhat hoarse and distorted voice came from inside the light shield.
