While Dark Fang was discussing follow-up matters with the others, he suddenly felt a chill run through him.
His spine tingled faintly, and cold sweat seeped across his body.
This feeling was all too familiar to him.
It wasn’t a warning of danger, but a resonant sense between special beings.
An anti-human! And it had appeared out of nowhere at this very moment!
Black Dragon, who had been talking with Xing Yao, suddenly fell silent.
He seemed to have sensed the foreign entity from beyond the world as well. White Lion realized something was wrong and turned his gaze toward the other three.
“What happened?”
White Lion lacked the ability to detect anti-humans, but seeing the three of them grow increasingly serious, he could roughly guess what was going on.
“A very powerful one has arrived. Its location is…” Xing Yao closed his eyes, sensing the restless magic power nearby, “the residential district of Qian Tan City!”
In fact, to Xing Yao and Black Dragon, this anti-human’s strength was only average.
But the spot where it had appeared happened to be right in the residential area of another city.
Dark Fang set off immediately, only to be stopped by Black Dragon.
“If you rush over there on foot right now, you’ll definitely be too late. Let this guy give you a ride.”
Black Dragon pointed at Xing Yao, who was already drawing a magic array beside them.
“I’m going too!”
White Lion declared.
White Lion had faced anti-humans before, but only a handful of times, and always when Black Dragon had rarely taken him along.
So far, his combat record against anti-humans could be counted on one hand.
Black Dragon nodded.
Letting White Lion handle an anti-human wasn’t a bad idea, and it could also relieve some pressure on Dark Fang.
From his senses, this suddenly appearing anti-human was unprecedentedly powerful, its strength already approaching fantasy-species level.
If Dark Fang went alone, he would probably have a hard time taking it down.
Yes, this time Black Dragon and Xing Yao had no intention of stepping in.
The two planned to watch from the side and prevent the battle from affecting ordinary humans.
“There’s no time to waste. Let’s go now!”
Xing Yao had finished drawing the magic array. He motioned for everyone to stand in the center.
A dazzling flash of light swept over them.
Li Chi felt his head spin, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself on an unfamiliar open rooftop.
“This is…”
He looked around and realized it wasn’t just any open space—it was the roof of a massive building.
The rooftop was unusually large, nearly the size of a soccer field, comparable to the headquarters buildings of the Dark Organization and the Magic Association.
“Qian Tan Tower. It counts as one of our Dark Organization’s branches.”
White Lion explained from the side.
Right then—
Boom—！！！
A massive explosion erupted in front of the group. Fortunately, Black Dragon and Xing Yao were present.
They instantly compressed the blast’s power into a basketball-sized energy orb.
Once the smoke cleared, an unconscious magical girl lay amid collapsed concrete and rebar.
The magical girl was barely breathing, collapsed in a pool of blood.
Both her legs were gone, and her body was riddled with bullet holes, each one bleeding profusely.
Beside her, a parrot-like contracted beast was a mangled mess.
Its wings had been torn off completely; aside from its head, it was unrecognizable.
“Save her, quick!”
Using his heightened senses, Dark Fang detected that although the magical girl looked nearly dead, an extremely faint magical power was still protecting her heart and brain, keeping her barely alive.
Xing Yao brought his hands together. Gentle magic power flowed out from his palms.
The moment the magic touched the dying magical girl, countless bullets burst out of her body.
With a wave of his hand, Xing Yao froze the bullets in mid-air.
After a moment, once the magic dissipated, they clattered to the ground.
The magical girl and her parrot contracted beast were lifted from the rubble by Xing Yao’s magic. After a brief circulation of power, the blood on the ground gathered and returned to their bodies.
Next, a lump of mangled flesh was pulled over from afar.
Under Xing Yao’s repair, the flesh gradually regained its original form.
Those were the magical girl’s severed legs and the parrot’s two wings.
Once the body parts were reattached, the color returned to the faces of both the girl and her beast, no longer deathly pale.
Dark Fang picked up one of the bullets.
The acrid smell of gunpowder and the stench of blood still clung to it.
He crushed the bullet into powder with one hand and scattered it into the air.
His already crimson compound eyes turned an even more terrifying shade of red.
The biological armor on Omega creaked and groaned.
Li Chi was furious.
He had sworn he would never let anti-humans harm any humans.
Yet now a victim lay right before him.
If not for Xing Yao’s presence, even using bio-electric current to keep her alive would have been unacceptable!
Dark Fang’s recovery ability was unmatched, but his healing was limited to things like bio-electric current, which only accelerated the body’s natural repair.
In a situation like this, it was almost useless!
Dark Fang expanded his heightened senses once more.
This time, the range covered the entire Qian Tan City and dozens of surrounding cities, including Canghai City.
“I’ve found him…”
After leaving those words, Dark Fang turned into a streak of shadow and shot toward the anti-human’s location.
Black Dragon watched everything in silence.
Once Dark Fang left, he patted the equally silent White Lion on the shoulder and motioned for him to follow.
White Lion didn’t hesitate. He drew the Ice King Sword at once.
Extreme cold bloomed from the blade, and a pair of sharp wings made entirely of solid ice formed behind him.
He rose into the air and streaked away like a blue comet.
The moment White Lion departed, Dark Fang had already reached the scene.
Over five meters tall, it resembled a mobile armory.
Its entire body was constructed from various firearms—head, legs, arms, torso—all formed from Gatling heavy machine guns.
Three anti-tank rockets hung on its back.
The earlier explosion had clearly come from those.
Anti-human—War Armament!
That was the name Dark Fang gave it, one that would later need to be engraved in the records of defeated anti-humans.
The Gatling on the War Armament’s head lifted slightly. It had already noticed the uninvited guest.
It raised the heavy-machine-gun arms and aimed at the black monster before it.
“Severing Technique!”
Dark Fang practically roared the words.
He pushed his speed to the limit and appeared in front of the War Armament in an instant.
He unleashed a fierce slash. The force was so great that the surrounding space warped.
The black bone blades on his arms scraped against the machine-gun barrels, sending off intense sparks.
Crack—!
With the sound of metal snapping, the heavy machine guns on the anti-human’s arm suddenly broke apart.
Then the severed arm of the War Armament turned into a pool of metallic liquid.
The sound of a handgun being cocked rang out, and a neat row of machine guns reformed into a brand-new arm.
Dark Fang didn’t hesitate. He slashed out with the Severing Technique again.
But this strike had no effect.
It wasn’t that Dark Fang’s attack had missed. The creature had suddenly transformed its body back into metallic liquid.
The powerful blow merely sliced through a mass of superheated silver liquid and scattered part of it outward.
Dark Fang hurriedly retreated several steps.
This was the first time one of his attacks had failed. The long-absent sense of danger surged up once more.
“What’s going on here? Are there monsters fighting?”
An out-of-place voice came from behind Dark Fang.
A group of ordinary people had appeared without warning.
“Are monsters fighting other monsters? Am I dreaming?”
A girl dressed like a student rubbed her eyes, staring at the scene in disbelief.
Humans! Why were there humans here?! And why right at this moment?!
“Run!”
Dark Fang shouted at the top of his lungs.
But it was already too late.
The War Armament had aimed every gun barrel on its body at the innocent crowd.
Countless tongues of fire erupted from the dark muzzles, streaking straight toward the people!
