Chapter 106: Shtupid Loot Bags!
...…..
RUMBLE!!
With the foundations of the bunker caving in, Lucifer turned to the cross-legged Li Yan and said, "Activate the Formation and direct it toward those few hundred really large ones!" Pointing at the huge, lanky ones smashing against the top of the bunker, he forced the goth midget out of her reverie. Then, with a bright flash of green light, the bunker and the surrounding area were blinded!
OOOM!
As a green, toxic energy leaked out of a Formation that covered every inch of ground inside the bunker, Li Yan controlled it and condensed it in the form of long poison spears!
"Good, now shoot them at the eye's of the targets! I will deal with the rest!" Gathering together every aspect of his existence, Lucifer accurately located the weakest spot in the bunker's interior. Planning something big, he leaned his body low to the ground and prepared to make his move.
"Beat dumb monsters up… Shtupid loot bags…"
Speaking like a true loot hoarder, Li Yan smashed her hands against the ground, causing the few hundred poison spears to spiral and spin at insanely fast speeds. Then, with a lightning-quick flash of light, the poison spears were sent barreling toward the Peak Soul Transformation Realm Monsters!
ZOOOOM!!
The exact moment the poison spears were released from their shackles, Lucifer and hundreds of his clones jointly attacked the weakest point of the bunker. Then, with unstoppable motion, they smashed straight through the mud roof of the bunker!
CRASH!
Even though a few of them broke their hands in the process of emerging out the top of the bunker, the ones who survived immediately started attacking the Nightmare Monsters!
Taking them by surprise and plowing their way through the ones in the way, tens of thousands of Middle Soul Transformation Realm Clones were promptly summoned in!
FWIP! FWIP!
Also summoning tens of millions of Early Soul Transformation Realm and below Clones, they dogpiled and overwhelmed the Nightmare Beasts with sheer numbers!
Of course, they would soon fall underneath the gravity of the Nightmare World and become meat paste. But until that time came, they worked as the perfect meat shields to allow Lucifer and the Poison Spears to reach the strongest of the Nightmare Monsters!
In half an instant, Lucifer and the strongest of the clones watched as numerous poison spears whizzed right by their heads. Swiftly moving out of the way, they personally witnessed the spears dig themselves right into the eyes of the Peak Soul Transformation Realm Nightmare Monsters.
However, even with direct hits, it still wasn't enough to directly pierce the eyes of the howling monstrosities.
But it was enough to create an entrance for the poison to seep in…
"Not deep enough."
Seeing that the poison wasn't going to have any effect at its current depth, Lucifer and his strongest clones vanished from their spots. Reappearing above the few hundred Peak Soul Transformation Realm Nightmare Monsters, they simultaneously kicked down with everything in their legs!
OOOM!
Causing the air to ripple, the kicks cut through any flimsy Qi barriers and smashed right into the large, beady eyes of the terrifying creatures!
"Askeechhh!!!"
Making painfully eerie sounds, the Nightmare Monsters flung their hands toward their heads, trying to stop whatever was happening to them!
However, the moment their long, creepy hands reached their faces, Lucifer and the clones had long since blink-stepped away.
WAM!
Slapping themselves in the face, the Nightmare Creatures only worked to speed up the injection and circulation of the Poison Harbinger Formation!
In what should've originally taken more than 10 seconds, their self-harm caused them to lose control over their sense of sight in 2 seconds!
FWIP!
Appearing above the Nightmare Monsters once more, Lucifer and his strongest clones took out their blades and looked toward the injuries that the creatures were attempting to cover up. Then, without hesitation, they bounced off a layer of sky and lunged toward the cut eyeballs.
Causing the wind to whistle as they blitzed through the sky, their blackened blades made crisp slicing sounds that spelled doom for the Nightmare Creatures!
Within mere moments, the edge of Lucifer's Peak-Sky Rank Sword made it to the poisoned slit located on the first Nightmare Creature. Pulling back the blade and thinning his eyes, Lucifer sped up his advance in the speed stream, blasting through all known speed barriers.
With a breath of cold air, he reached the poison eyeball and plunged his sword into the absolute weakest point of the retina; it also just so happened to be where Li Yan's poison spear had hit.
Spurt!
Spewing out dark green blood, the eyeball was sliced open, and the Nightmare Monster was sent into a frenzy!
Spurt!
Spurt!
Spurt!
At the same time, the rest of the Peak Soul Transformation Realm Nightmare Creatures had very similar damage dealt to them.
Just as they were about to go berserk, something spiked within their interior organs…
Ba-dump!
Ba-dump!!
With what sounded like the beating of a large heart, the Nightmare Monsters froze in place and clutched their massive chests. Scratching and clawing away at their outer layer of skin, they attempted to dig into their own bodies and erase the pain!
So much pain!!
It hurt so much for them!!!
BA-DUMP!
BA-DUMP!!
However, no matter what the Nightmare Monsters did in an attempt to alter the destined outcome, it was already far too late…
BA-DUMP!!!
SPURT!
With one final joint heartbeat, their hearts exploded inside them, halting all motor functions in an instant!
In less than four seconds since leaving the bunker, Lucifer and Li Yan managed to kill more than 350 Peak Soul Transformation Realm Nightmare Beasts…
"Now it's time for the looting to commence."
Wasting not even a smidgen of a millisecond, Lucifer ignored the weaker Nightmare Monsters and shot out hundreds of slimy black tendrils. In two or three nanoseconds, the lanky Nightmare Monsters lost the rest of the meat on their bodies.
Thereafter, a plethora of cultivation boosts swarmed Lucifer's existence.
{[Half-Step Golden Core Realm (Late)]}
{[Half-Step Golden Core Realm (Peak)]}
{[Half-Step Golden Core Realm (Limit)]}
Reaching the Pinnacle of the Half-Step Golden Core Realm, Lucifer felt something extremely tough and robust blocking his way. He tried to absorb the rest of the cultivation base and breakthrough this bottleneck; however, it looked like it wasn't nearly enough.
After realizing that he wouldn't be having a breakthrough right now, Lucifer instead focused on his Battle Power improvements. He also decided to look at the most recent system notifications.
{[Late Soul Transformation Realm (Early)]}
{[Late Soul Transformation Realm (Middle)]}
{[Late Soul Transformation Realm (Late)]}
BLING!
[Ding! You have killed 350+ Nightmare Monsters of the Peak Soul Transformation Realm. The reward is 3,650 Super Clone Essence!]
[Ding! You have killed 1000+ Nightmare Monsters of the Late Soul Transformation Realm. The reward is 160 Super Clone Essence!]
"Hmm… So 100 of the small guys is worth around a single one of the big guys… Wow, this is some crazy inflation! And here I thought that eggs were inflated to all high hell… Truly opened my eyes to Mt. Tai today!"
Amazed by the reward differences between a single minor realm, Lucifer opened up his system interface and looked at how much he needed to purchase a clone in his current strength bracket.
[Highest-level Clone (Late Soul Transformation Realm) Cost: 1 Super Clone Essence]
[Highest-level Clone Cost (Late Soul Transformation Realm): 1 Super Clone Essence]
"Still 1 Super Clone Essence? Nice! At least inflation has not extended to the bounds of the same minor realm just yet." Nodding his head in satisfaction, Lucifer then focused his attention on the stragglers. "Well, around 39,500 of them," he said.
Figuring that this number was quite nice and very lucrative, he used up 2000 Super Clone Essence and spawned 2000 Clones with strength equal to his. Sending out these clones, he didn't have to do a single damn thing but watch as the system notifications bombarded his vision.
After a few seconds of painful howls and screams cutting through the skies, Lucifer took another second to look over the most recent system notifications.
BLING!
[Ding! You have killed 39,500+ low-level Nightmare Monsters in the Late Soul Transformation Realm. The reward is 4,200 Super Clone Essence!]
"Ahh, another very solid amount of Super Clone Essence! Now, if I just click a few boopers and…"
[Ding! You have used up 3000 Super Clone Essence to summon 3000 clones with strength well into the Late Soul Transformation Realm!]
"Oh, wait… Shit! I forgot to absorb the corpses first!"
Feeling like a total dumbass, Lucifer leapt off the canopy of a large tree and suspended himself in mid-air. Then, with a slight release of black energy, he simultaneously shot out tens of thousands of slimy black tendrils!
Appearing like the reaper god of death, he forcefully sucked away the essence of all the Nightmare Monster corpses!
After sucking everything dry, a number of improvements were once again made to his existence.
