The Record of Unusual Creatures

Chapter 304: A New Weapon

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

To be honest, sometimes Hao Ren felt a bit awkward that he only had little skills. On top of that, his skills were not really powerful and this made him even more embarrassed. Even the most incompetent Lily had her Frostfire Tackle. As a captain, he did not even know the basics of Braveblade. This was a really regrettable thing. However, when he felt the solid touch and power of the blow from his hand, Hao Ren smirked and said, “Whatever!”

It was a truly good trick! As long as you could endure the MDT’s nasty words. Judging from its attack speed or lethality, it was an extremely stunning skill…

Of course, you first had to have brute force and a piece of insanely sturdy brick.

The shadeling’s huge body came crashing down and almost a third of his head was flattened. Hao Ren still felt a little uncomfortable taking away the life of a humanoid creature. It was human nature but, he was very happy that he quickly adapted to such an eventful life, and accepted the reality that he was going to get into fights from time to time. Additionally, the fact that these half-demon creatures did not really look human actually eased his guilt. He thought that he could get used to killing these creatures after a few punches.

This time, the MDT did not voice out its opinion right away. Before it could say anything, Hao Ren had already grabbed it out of his pocket and rubbed it against the shadeling’s flattened head. It remained silent for a pretty long time as if it was pondering about life. Then, it slowly said, “I found something to be very regrettable—I’m actually beginning to get used to this…”

Hao Ren nodded vigorously and said, “Well, that’s a good thing!”

A strange whistling sound suddenly came from above. Hao Ren looked up and saw a shadowy, lance-like object coming towards him. It was too late for him to dodge, and he could only cross his hands as he faced the direction of the shooting lance. However, the expected attack did not reach him, and the lance, like the smog, suddenly vanished as soon as it touched his body: This was the shadelings’ magical attack—although the lance appeared to be real, it was pure magical effect.

Hao Ren’s strange and magic-immune body began to show great power again after a period of silence. He looked at the fierce fighting sequence around him and suddenly realised that he was probably the real shadeling buster on the scene.

Shadelings were half-demon creatures, skilled in controlling shadow power; their main strategy of battle was the utilisation of shadow magic. Although they had strong bodies and a fierce appearance, their main means of destruction was still a shadow spell. This was a group of creatures obsessed with magical power.

And Hao Ren absolutely loved such an adversary!

The shadeling who launched the attack stood dozens of metres away. When he saw that his powerful Shadow Lance just vanished into thin air, the stout guy froze for a moment. Hao Ren grabbed the opening and rushed towards the shadeling. He then forcefully rotated the Data Terminal in his hand, intending to punch the shadeling’s head. However, as he ran, the shadeling managed to react in time. The shadeling flapped the giant wings on its back and it flew up several metres high. Then, it hurried off in another direction. Their wings did not support long-distance flights but, on the battlefield, they could still use their wings for a short glide or a swift dodge. Before Hao Ren had time to feel disappointed, he heard continuous whistling sounds coming from behind him. Again, a large group of Shadow Lances were shot at him. The weird man, who was immune to their shadow spell had attracted the attention of the shadelings—Hao Ren was caught in the siege of a large group of enemies instantly.

The Shadow Lances disappeared instantly when they hit Hao Ren’s back however, two of the Shadow Lances missed him. It is not certain whether that occured intentionally or accidentally. They just disappeared into the flagstones beneath Hao Ren’s feet. Shortly after, an unusually violent explosion immediately erupted beneath him, and Hao Ren’s body was involuntarily blown several metres up in the air. Before he landed, the shadelings immediately realised how they would deal with the freak, who was immune to magic.

This strange man was immune to magic itself but, he was not immune to the physical effects of magic.

So, an overwhelming number of Shadow Lances were launched towards Hao Ren as though they came freely from all directions. They were deliberately thrown to the ground beneath Hao Ren’s feet. The Shadow Lances were also mixed with a variety of other bizarre spells, which basically created explosions or high temperatures. Hao Ren found himself to be the target of the moment. Before he could react, he was completely burried under the exploding flames and his body’s shielding capacity began to drop.

The bombing raids around them were obviously being performed by veterans. They quickly discovered Hao Ren’s weakness after their first comrade was killed by him. At this point, they carried on fast as they continued bombing. As soon as there was little movement within their bombing range, they immediately flapped their wings and flew up temporarily. Yes, they had discovered something. That shining brick looked like a melee weapon and Hao Ren could not fly…

Becky was closest to Hao Ren. The mercenary was waving her Flaming Magic sword and fighting in close entanglement with a lone shadeling. She caught a glimpse of Hao Ren and noticed his situation. She exclaimed softly at once and quickly swung her enchanted sword to kill the already badly injured enemy in front of her. Then, she turned and rushed to the siege of shadelings, ready to rescue Hao Ren. However, someone was quicker than her: a white shadow rushed towards the siege, covered in a double storm of ice and fire; the sound of air bursting like lightning. It was Lily.

This was the first time the husky saw her landlord undergo such a siege with an invincible shield. She was worried that Hao Ren’s shield could not hold on any longer and therefore, she rushed to his side without a second thought. There was even a dead shadeling’s body still hanging from her claws… Well, half of it: this just shows that dogs are a human’s best friend. Look at how fast she ran…

But before Lily could reach Hao Ren, a powerful roar suddenly rang amid the smoke of battle. “You take me for a weakling if I don’t fare my bangs!”

The moment that illogical, confusing sentence was spoken, they heard a loud boom. The shadeling close to Hao Ren was hit by a bluish-white flare. It turned into a large and beautiful but strange, light blue crystal. Then, it was blasted high up in the air into a million pieces.

The blue crystalline debris drifted profusely and disorderly, falling slowly like snowflakes. This strange and terrible way of dying immediately shocked everybody on the scene, including the shadelings who were savagely bombing everything with excitement. They had seen death but, they had not seen such a bizarre death: The shadeling had less than a second to “transform” before it was blown up. Ordinary people would have missed it but, everybody on the scene was not ordinary. They clearly saw the shadeling’s body turning into a glittering and translucent, blue crystal statue in a fraction of a second. Then, it burst.

Boom! Boom!

In the short silence, two more explosions occurred in the air. Two shadelings suddenly turned into crystalline matter and the pieces flew all over the sky. The other shadelings reacted to this and threw some Shadow Lances towards Hao Ren. After that, they quickly dispersed in all directions.

Hao Ren jumped out of the smoke holding a giant, silvery-white pistol. It had a strange style to it. Blue light streams were floating on the giant pistol, pulsing like blood vessels. Not only that, there was still a faint glow on its muzzle. The blue veins on Hao Ren’s right arm and the light streams on the gun in his hand were all protruding. Each blood vessel sparkled with the same blue light, beating on the surface of his skin as if they were about to burst.

“What are you waiting for?” Hao Ren roared. “Fight!”

As he said this, he raised the strange, giant pistol in his hand and swung it in the direction of the shadelings and yelled, “Go, Mobile Data Brick!”

The MDT was still floating in the air, watching them and doing nothing. It went blank for a moment and finally reacted. However, the problem was solved. Y’zaks and Vivian eventually settled the powerful enemies who were fighting against them. Then, they made a clean sweep of all their opponents. Of the dozens of enemies, they had eradicated almost all of them except for two or three who ran away too fast. The rest were annihilated.

They may have been the chosen troops of the Bethanos Family, but no matter how strong the troops were, they were just soldiers—even if the troops were more than twice the current number, they would not have been able to beat Hao Ren’s Frenzied Special Task Force VIP Paid Players Group.

Let’s not care about that name.

Hao Ren heaved a deep sigh. He lowered his head and looked at his gun as well as his right arm, which had begun to be infected. “I should have made some adaptive adjustments earlier. Ouch, this thing really hurts!”
