Worlds' Apocalypse Online

Chapter 560: Monster

Proofreader: Arya

The Fog Isle world.

Lord Bloodcloak’s clairvoyance spell had already dissipated.

But Su Xue Er wasn’t sure where her teacher went.

She could only stare as the images faded away.

Su Xue Er had been sitting here to watch Gu Qing Shan’s adventure.

Deceiving 800 demonized Combatants, stopped by the Dead Soul Demon King at the side of the mountain, surrounded by 2 million demonized Combatants.

She saw him break through the encirclement, saw him run into the ice cavern and saw how the Dead Soul Demon King was killed by the divine mountain.

Even after the images were fading, she was still watching him.

At this time, he was making Laura dinner.

Looking at the steaming hot dishes on the table, Su Xue Er suddenly trembled.

She touched her stomach a bit, realizing that she was a bit hungry.

If she could be like Laura right now, being together with him regardless of life and death, Su Xue Er felt that she would have no regrets.

But regretfully… I already made the mistake.

“Through battles, you will get to know each other better…”

“There would’ve been ample time in Triste’s world for the two of you…”

“After all, nothing creates a deeper bond than being together in battle”

Recalling Lord Bloodcloak’s teachings, Su Xue Er felt wave after wave of regret.

If Teacher had run into the same situation, he probably would’ve dealt with it much better than I did.

“I really am a dummy…”

Su Xue Er shook her head and muttered.

She then sat still for a bit more, recalling Gu Qing Shan’s battle style.

He really wasn’t particularly strong.

If you use regular power levels to compare, as long as I had the time to prepare my spells, I have a high chance of beating him.

But he was also very strong, killing over 10 powerful opponents in the blink of an eye.

They didn’t even get the chance to fight back.

In the divine temple, the 800 people actually thanked him as he left.

A Chaotic Demon Lord couldn’t do anything to him.

Over 2 million people couldn’t stop him.

He was impressive in an unreasonable way.

Recalling how solemn and sincere Gu Qing Shan was when he was fooling those people, Su Xue Er couldn’t help but giggle.

She went silent for a bit longer before standing up and left the room.

Following a long hallway, she reached the deepest inner area of the House of Hall, a small black door.

Standing in front of the door, Su Xue Er hesitated a bit as she took out a key.

Seeing this key, she remembered what Lord Bloodcloak told her.

“Xue Er, this room was prepared by none other than myself, a Guru-level test for card users”

“Doesn’t the Institute have a similar test?”

“Their test was made over 10,000 years ago, it’s already out of date”

“Xue Er, when you feel yourself to be strong enough, take this key and try it once”

“After you pass the Guru-level test by yourself, I will allow you to enter the deeper end of the blood sea, forming contracts with the existences inside”

“Ah? Really? Can I really form contracts with those existences?”

“As long as you can pass the test, of course”

…

Su Xue Er didn’t hesitate any longer and inserted the key into the lock.

Having gone through a life-and-death battle as well as being cleansed by the Spirit of the Holy Tree, Su Xue Er felt that her power had reached a new height.

I can definitely pass the Guru-level test.

“Qing Shan, wait for me”

Su Xue Er lightly muttered and entered.

On another side.

Gu Qing Shan stood on top of a tall coral building, looking forward.

The thick coral blocked his vision, but not his inner sight.

With Gu Qing Shan’s Sainted realm late-stage inner sight, he could easily search through every nook and cranny of the city.

And with that inner sight, he was now looking at the end of the road.

It was a wide plaza, the kind of place used to host large-scaled events and official business, enough to hold several ten thousand people.

The dead were all moving towards this place.

Thousands, ten thousand of corpses, all with creepy smiles on their faces formed neat lines and groups, silently walking to the plaza.

Standing in the middle of the plaza was a monster that could cause fear at the mere sight of it.

It appeared to be a black mountain that gave off an indescribable presence.

The monster had no limbs, only slowly crawling forward on the plaza like a slug.

Seeing how clumsy the monster was, Gu Qing Shan felt even more alarmed.

The corpses all walked to the monster, then got absorbed into its black body.

Every time a corpse went inside, a face would appear on the monster’s gigantic blob of a body.

As time passed, the amount of faces on it increased more and more, shuffling, pushing each other in place.

Every face had an expression of absolute ecstasy.

Rather than calling this a monster, it was more accurate to call it a faulty amalgamation.

Before coming here, he already noticed this monster and the countless corpses with his inner sight, thus deciding against bringing Laura here.

“Why does it still look so inappropriate…” Gu Qing Shan muttered.

As he said so, the mountain-like black monster suddenly stopped.

It turned all the faces towards Gu Qing Shan.

By common sense, there were a large number of tall coral buildings blocking between Gu Qing Shan and itself, so there was no way it could see him.

But the black monster was certainly looking towards Gu Qing Shan.

It stopped for only a moment.

Suddenly, the thousands of faces on the monster spoke in unison: 『 You are late 』

Gu Qing Shan’s vision was still being obstructed by numerous layers of coral.

But he could sense that he was being locked-on by an eerie presence.

Gu Qing Shan felt a bit surprised.

I know I didn’t use the presence concealment technique, but I’ve already hidden my presence really well, who would’ve guessed such a small mutter could be heard?

“Ah? Then what did I miss exactly?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

『 The ritual is over, the Entropy Ghosts have turned into countless ghosts of Huang Quan, bringing the living beings of this land to me 』 the faces spoke in unison again.

“You’re not the Entropy Ghost—— what are you?”

『 You don’t need to know, because you will die right now 』the monster spoke.

As soon it said so, the entire plaza was gone, replaced by a deep hole in the ground.

A bottomless hole.

Gu Qing Shan tried stretching his inner sight down to follow it, but couldn’t even reach the bottom of the hole.

And certain, the monster was nowhere to be found.

Immediately recognizing a bad situation, Gu Qing Shan released all his spirit energy at once.

Hand seals were formed.

Secret Art, [Torrent]!

An intense torrent of sword phantoms erupted from both swords.

At the same time, Gu Qing Shan used this Lightning thaumaturgy without hesitation.

——–[Severance]!

The two [Torrent]s combined into one, reinforced by [Severance] as they shot to the sky.

Gu Qing Shan hid inside the shining sword phantoms as he left with it.

『 AAAaarraaAAg! 』

Countless cries of pain rang out at the same time.

In that split second, the black monster had bypassed the multiple layers of coral obstruction to directly appear where Gu Qing Shan originally stood.

It was hit by [Severance], forced to stay still for 3 seconds.

『 You won’t get away! 』

The countless faces on the monster’s body yelled out in unison.

It easily took flight, wanting to catch up to Gu Qing Shan.

Under the monster’s body, the building where Gu Qing Shan originally stood had already been eaten through completely, leaving only a bit of an empty shell on the outside.

Gu Qing Shan’s expression became stern.

This monster was able to go through so many layers of coral buildings and wanted to swallow me up.

Anything it swallows will be eaten through.

Teleportation and indiscriminate devouring, are these its powers?

This combination of powers really is extraordinary.

If it wasn’t for [Severance] activating at the right time to stop it from using other abilities, the battle might’ve been much different.

Gu Qing Shan stopped in the middle of the sky.

Below, the black monster was still trying to go after him.

Apparently its teleportation could only be executed within a certain distance.

“Earth sword, is this a type of ghost?”

「 It isn’t, I don’t know what it is, I’ve never seen it before 」

“You’ve never seen it before?… interesting”

Sha sha sha!

Taking the Earth sword in hand, Gu Qing Shan slashed the air again and again.

With every swing, a large light blue sword phantom would cut through the sky, slashing towards the mountain-like monster.

[Crescent Slash]——- 9 times consecutively.

Seeing the fierce slashes coming for it, the black monster instantly disappeared.

It wasn’t until the sword phantoms had passed that it appeared once again.

Gu Qing Shan’s eyebrows twitched.

It hid itself into the space vortex just now, waiting until the sword phantoms had all passed before returning again.

This was a very rare ability: Void Evasion!

Teleportation, indiscriminate devouring, void evasion, all three of these powerful abilities appeared on a single monster!

「 Be careful, it’s really powerful 」the Earth sword spoke up.

“I’m guessing it still has other abilities, but I’m not going to let it overturn the situation that easily” Gu Qing Shan muttered.

He reached out with his left hand to grab the Chao Yin sword.

With two swords in hand, Gu Qing Shan was now serious unlike never before.
