This chapter made its debut look by way of N0v3lB1n.
Chapter 559 Are They Contaminated?
?Whereas shifting with Olgar, I stored utilizing [Screened] to attempt to spot any Shadow Devourers that is likely to be hiding round us.
I consider that even when they’d hidden themselves, they’d at the least present up on [Screened] if I had been to have a look at them.
To this point, I’ve not seen something but and we’ve not been attacked so I can solely assume that it is working nicely.
However sadly, we have additionally not seen anybody else thus far.
No, this wasn’t a case of us being caught in one other loop within the hall since we’ve been making a couple of turns already.
“Been awfully quiet thus far,” Olgar remarked, peering across the nook of a flip to test that it is secure earlier than persevering with.
I grimaced, “I did not wish to say something in case I jinxed it however… Sure.”
“And there ain’t anybody else both.”
I used to be nearly to reply an affirmative after I heard a loud crash coming from up forward.
The each of us gave one another a glance earlier than working within the path of the sound.
We reached a small corridor the place we discovered one other Rejmar who was standing alone within the center whereas holding up a torch that hardly lit up the realm round him.
He observed our presence instantly due to my [Spotlight] and shortly ran in the direction of us.
“Thank the Gods!! Hey! Hey! There’s Shadow Devourers round right here!! Be careful!!”
Proper as he stated that, [Screened] confirmed the stats of a Shadow Devourer behind him and I reacted by pointing my palm at that location.
A [Static Bolt] flew out of my hand and struck the monster proper because it tried to leap on the Rejmar, hanging it in the midst of its chest and paralysing it.
As a substitute of skewering him with its claws, the monster ended up falling on high of him and sending him tumbling down on the bottom.
Olgar shortly rushed in the direction of the monster and smashed the facet of its head together with his mace, inflicting it to roll to the facet from the blow.
He then picked up the fallen Rejmar simply because the paralysing results wore off and the monster began to rise again up on its ft.
I then fired a [Laser] at it that pierced immediately via its head and felt a slight trace of satisfaction because the monster fell on the bottom like a puppet with its strings reduce.
“Hey, hey… You are alright,” Olgar soothed, patting the brand new man on the again.
The Rejmar groaned, ignoring the torch that was nonetheless burning on the ground, “Ugh… I believed I used to be carried out for… Thanks for the save.”
Olgar nodded at me, “Do not thank me, she’s the one who saved your ass.”
“They’ve became monsters,” I introduced.
“Tsk… Thought so… I assume there isn’t any coming again for them?” Olgar requested.
“I do not know, however I am fairly certain they don’t seem to be going to simply stand there and inform us that.”
As if to show my level, the Shadow Devourer who had been break up vertically in half began working in the direction of us, his arms outstretched like he was making an attempt to seize us.
He sort of jogs my memory of these zombies you’ll see in films besides this one is a dwarf.
The opposite two additionally adopted its lead, working in the direction of in the identical pose.
It could have been a hilarious sight to see three Rejmars working like that if it wasn’t so ugly.
My two companions recovered swiftly and charged in the direction of them, Olgar reaching them first and smashing the primary Shadow Devourer apart together with his mace and sending it crashing into the bottom.
Thorn slashed his cleaver and lopped off the hand of the Rejmar that was holding the warhammer whereas he used the torch to set the decapitated one on hearth.
Looks like these Shadow Devourers are weaker than the opposite ones for some cause. Perhaps as a result of it is restricted by the physique they’re inhabiting? Or perhaps as a result of that is the preliminary levels of transformation so they’re thought-about to be within the toddler stage or one thing?
The one which had been knocked down by Olgar tried to face again up so I hit it with a fast forged of [Spark Strike], hanging it within the chest.
Olgar gave me a nod of thanks and moved to assist Thorn, leaving me to complete off the one on the bottom with a [Fire Blast].
The Shadow Devourer flailed its arms round for a bit earlier than it went limp, each the physique and the darkish mass dissipating to go away a Mana Crystal behind.
I turned my consideration again to the opposite two and so they appeared to be doing fairly nicely towards the final two Shadow Devourers.
Regardless of the monsters’ stats, it doesn’t appear to be they had been combating whereas making use of its full capabilities so I used to be fairly satisfied that the physique they had been inhabiting hindered these monsters indirectly.
Even the fireplace from the torch in Thorn’s arms appeared to be doing lots of injury to it with the way it reacted to being burned.
Olgar went forward to smash the kneecaps of the Shadow Devourer with the lacking head and the physique crumpled onto the ground.
He then stomped on the mass of darkness that occupied the top space, successfully killing the monster because the physique dissipated into darkish particles.
Thorn sliced off the top of the Shadow Devourer he was combating together with his cleaver whereas it was on hearth and the monster spasmed for just a little bit earlier than additionally falling over, defeated.
We stood in the midst of the battle, trying down on the monsters we had simply defeated.
I turned to them, “So… Was that one thing that Shadow Devourers might do or what?”
Olga shrugged, “Fuck if I do know. I simply know how you can smash monsters, nothing else.”
Thorn additionally shrugged, “Neither do I lass… This can be a first for me as nicely.”
Nicely… No use standing round then. At the least we’ve another individual in our social gathering so I assume we’re heading in the right direction.
