The piercing sirens echoed throughout the institute, and 'doctors' in surgical suits began to rush towards the first floor one after another.

Groups of heavily armed mercenaries are marching underground in an orderly manner.

A black jeep drove from a distance. The moment it was about to arrive in front of the institute, the car swerved suddenly and stepped on the brakes. The dark treads rubbed against the ground and made a harsh squeak.

Thick smoke spread on the steps in front of the institute.

A man in a mercenary uniform jumped out of the car.

Immediately afterwards, a heavily armed mercenary came forward.

"what happens?"

This man was Zaidi, the mercenary officer. Not long after he left the institute, he was called back by the alarm.

"Enemy attack, sir Red sent an alarm, but we can't contact him now."

The mercenary said quickly.

"Where was Mr. Reed last seen?"

Zaidi asked quickly.

"From the surveillance, it seems that he went down to the sixth floor."

The mercenary replied quickly.

The sixth floor is where the safe is.

Zaidi was thoughtful. He hurriedly walked into the institute and said quickly, "Arrange the evacuation of 'doctors' and 'patients'. They are important assets of the institute and cannot be lost. Then completely seal off the institute.

Don't let anyone in."

"yes!"

The mercenary replied immediately, and then he asked in a low voice, "Then... Lord Red?"

None of these mercenaries have permission to go down to the sixth floor. Coles, the only one with permission, has been controlled.

"I'll see it myself."

Zaidi spoke quickly and strode towards the inside of the institute.

Inside the safe

In a very short period of time after He Ao "disappeared", one of Red's sharp claws stabbed at the place where He Ao was hiding. He also roughly judged the hiding place of He Ao.

But his attack failed, and He Ao's body suddenly appeared in front of him.

This is the teleportation ability of ‘Night Walk’.

Rhett looked surprised. This ability to teleport over long distances was obviously beyond his expectation. He had never seen such a powerful ability in the 'Shadow' before.

However, he did not retreat, but raised his hands covered with bone armor to block He Ao's sword light.

The sword in He Ao's hand was one he had found for the C-class who was killed by He Ao. Naturally, he knew the power of this sword very well.

This sword cannot break his defense.

However, He Ao's strength surprised him a little.

He is very aware of his own strength. The doctor said that his physical fitness is among the best among the C-class. Coupled with the hard bone armor, there will be no opponent for him in the C-class.

Killing a Class C is as easy as killing a mouse.

If the doctor hadn't strictly prohibited him from exposing himself to this state, he would have killed He Ao himself.

He originally thought that He Ao was at best a relatively strong C-level. After liberating his own form, killing He Ao would be easy.

But the strength He Ao was showing now made him feel threatened.

In several duels, He Ao showed even greater strength than him.

Coupled with He Ao's exquisite body skills and that weird 'teleport' ability, he could clearly feel that if He Ao hadn't been able to break through the defense of his bone armor, he would have been pierced countless times by now.

times.

Compared with Rhett's surprise, He Ao's condition was much more stable.

He has met too many enemies and encountered all kinds of troubles. Red's lack of energy gathering points and the problem of hard bone armor, although difficult, did not surprise him or even temporarily.

At a loss.

He could clearly feel that Red had very little combat experience, and although his fighting style was methodical, he was more inclined to overwhelm others with a rampage.

But Red is very smart, and He Ao can clearly feel that he is constantly learning and growing in battle.

If he can have testing stones to help him grow up step by step, he may not become a terrifying killer in the future.

But not everyone is lucky enough to meet novice monsters in Novice Village and have the opportunity to grow.

The dagger that He Ao slashed at Red drew a trace in the air, and then his figure disappeared instantly, and Red's extended hand to catch the dagger cut through the empty air.

However, the movements on his body did not stop, and the two sharp claws on his waist suddenly clawed towards his back.

He Ao, who appeared behind him, disappeared again.

Rhett's mentality gradually stabilized. Although He Ao's combat power was strong, it could not break his defense.

His sharp claws could pierce through He Ao completely, while He Ao's dagger could only leave a small mark on him when he hit him.

He can make countless mistakes, but He Ao can only make one.

He still has an absolute advantage in this battle.

After analyzing the current situation, he began to quickly reduce his range of activities and began to save energy.

He is growing rapidly.

At the same time, the sharp claws under his ribs struck to the right side.

The figure of He Ao who appeared on the right disappeared again.

This time his judgment was correct again.

left.

Immediately afterwards, his last two remaining sharp claws struck to the left.

He Ao's figure disappeared from the left side.

The next second, He Ao's figure appeared in front of Red.

Rhett didn't panic at all. In front of him was the thickest part of his armor. He stretched out his hand to block He Ao's attack.

However, this time He Ao did not stab him with the sword, but grabbed his arm. After turning on super memory, He Ao was stronger than Rhett. This time, Rhett was restrained in place and could not move.

No.

Before Rhett could react, he felt a warm current easily pass through the hard bone armor and sink into his body.

This is exactly the consciousness mobilized by He Ao.

It is much more difficult for spiritual consciousness to move through Red's body than it is within Aini's body, but the amount of divine consciousness mobilized by He Ao is also much greater than when helping Aini to 'cleanse' her marrow.

The thick spiritual consciousness was divided into countless tiny strands in an instant, like tiny swimming fish, soaking into every inch of Red's muscles.

Red also realized that something was wrong at this moment. He suddenly grabbed He Ao in the opposite direction, and then mobilized other sharp claws to attack here.

He didn't know what He Ao had done, but he was going to use his plan to kill He Ao right here.

However, because they had just attacked He Ao, these three pairs of sharp claws were attracted to a farther place and could not come back immediately at this moment.

And at this moment, He Ao finally figured out the flow of energy in Red's body and found the focus of power.

At the same time, Rhett grabbed He Ao tightly, with a ferocious smile on his face covered with bone armor.

"go to hell!"

The sharp claws stabbed He Ao's still bleeding body.

boom--

That was the sound of sharp claws hitting the metal ground.

Right in front of Rhett, in his hands, He Ao's figure turned into a phantom and disappeared.

The flesh and blood body slipped away from his fingertips like running water.

"asshole,"

Rhett knew he had been tricked, he roared angrily and waved all his claws.

At this moment, He Ao, who was hiding in the shadows, was quietly watching Rhett's movements.

There is not much left of the divine consciousness in his hand.

To immerse spiritual consciousness into a life body, the consumption will be much greater than normal use.

After his promotion, he had a total of six spiritual consciousnesses. When the Velora completed the super memory ritual, he consumed a little more than one. After entering the dungeon, various battles and the marrow cleansing of Aini consumed a lot more.

Coupled with the consumption just now, he only has a little more than three channels of consciousness left.
