Chapter 1 The Light of Sacred Healing

Fang Senyan's body began to shimmer with the light of the team ability: Sacred Healing. He then pursued Lamb, relentlessly tailing him in the direction he had fled.

At this point, no tracking skills were needed.

The path Lamb took was clearly marked by copious amounts of phlegm and purplish-black blood tainted with the A-virus, even with pus-filled handprints staining the corners of walls. Lamb must have coughed into his hands before using the walls for support as he fled.

To be on the safe side, Fang Senyan usually activated his Virus Monarch aura while walking the streets and other public places. Those who were infected entered a dormant phase. However, under normal circumstances or without the triggering effect of the Stairway to the Sun, the A-virus spores would quickly wither. Thus, they would be fine after leaving Fang Senyan's viral range.

However, Fang Senyan was definitely not the type of bleeding-heart to show mercy to his enemies!

Therefore, those unlucky fellows had been under his viral aura for a full... eighteen minutes now, meaning they were constantly in the dormant phase. Although these guys looked normal on the outside, the pathogens replicated by the A-virus had already penetrated deep into their bodies.

Although these unlucky guys hadn't shown any symptoms, their internal condition was like a ten-thousand-ton ship that seemed safe and sound, still able to sail at full speed, with the captain, chief mate, second mate, third mate, and sailors all at their posts, but with the red dot of a laser sight aimed directly between their eyebrows...

Lamb's staggering figure was up ahead. He had to admit that Lamb's speed was much faster than his. If he didn't stop frequently to cough and gasp for breath, Fang Senyan wouldn't have been able to catch up.

The reason Fang Senyan was chasing Lamb was because there were more targets to hunt in this direction. Lamb's team and the people from the Curse Extinction Dao were concentrated in one area, while the rest of the attackers were scattered.

Furthermore, if these guys afflicted with the disease left the Virus Monarch's effective range, their symptoms would quickly alleviate and they would completely recover. So, of course, Fang Senyan had to choose the direction with more people.

Besides, that Curse ability was extremely restraining against Fang Senyan. If this power couldn't be controlled in his own hands, then Fang Senyan would definitely destroy it!

"That bastard is still alive, cough cough! I bet this sudden outbreak of disease must be his doing too." Lamb's face was half-contorted as he gasped for breath, his eyes filled with disbelief:

"That bastard actually has dual attribute specialities! And he even broke through to become an Awakener during the battle. What's even more terrifying is that I estimate his equipment is likely to completely suppress us. Normal Awakeners definitely can't compete with him, and our team might be able to fight him. But definitely not after already fighting so hard! Cough cough cough, there's no need for us to continue fighting, KD. Otherwise, no matter how good the rewards are, we have to be alive to take them!"

KD was also coughing violently, unable to reply to Lamb. But at this moment, Pulizbila, who was lying on the windowsill, his face flushed with fever, suddenly widened his eyes and shouted with all his might:

"Lamb, Lamb! That guy is catching up to kill you!"

From Pulizbila's point of view, his line of sight could only cover most of the battlefield. After seeing Fang Senyan throw Bose out, his attention was drawn to Bose. By the time he reacted, Fang Senyan had disappeared from his sight without him noticing.

Pulizbila never expected that when he saw that sailor again, the guy had already approached within a hundred meters of Lamb. It felt like a starving wolf, on the verge of dying of hunger in winter, was quietly and quickly tailing Lamb, staring greedily at his flesh and blood!

"Damn it, why did I have to use up the Grudge of Cold just now! Achoo!!" Pulizbila gritted his teeth and muttered to himself, but his hands weren't idle. Instead, he quickly loaded a thumb-sized fiery red crystal into the magic crossbow. Strangely, this crystal was still struggling frantically, even letting out screams during the loading process!

When Lamb heard Pulizbila's shout, a chilling sensation suddenly crept up his spine. He couldn't help but look back, and his hands immediately trembled uncontrollably. Because he suddenly realized that the eyes of the enemy behind him had become incomparably deep in an instant, containing completely boundless terror and darkness, like a deep well with endless suction, wanting to suck in his very soul!

This phenomenon only lasted for a few seconds, and then Lamb realized that everything had returned to normal. But something abnormal had also appeared. He realized that his running speed had obviously decreased, and the speed of the enemy behind him had become faster!

This was the effect of Fang Senyan using Predator's Gaze. Lamb ran for another thirty meters or so before Fang Senyan caught up to within ten meters of him. But at this moment, a strong sense of crisis surged into Fang Senyan's heart. He suddenly looked up, just in time to see Pulizbila aiming at him with a cold expression, along with that magic crossbow that was shining with a mysterious and beautiful light. He immediately raised his arms and crossed them in front of him.

An extremely shrill fireball whizzed through the air. A strange blue fireball, at least two meters in diameter, shot over at high speed like a comet! With a "bang," it slammed head-on into Fang Senyan!

The dazzling blue instantly occupied all of Fang Senyan's senses. He felt like he had fallen into lava. A terrible heat swept over him, even scorching his hair and eyebrows, and the explosion of the fireball filled his ears with a "buzzing" sound. The huge explosive force of the fireball also knocked him back five or six meters.

The instantly dazzling and surging blue flames also immediately engulfed Fang Senyan like a tidal wave. One could even clearly see faint blue flames snaking in like leeches along the blood vessels on his arms, scorching his flesh and making it sizzle.

"What powerful force!" Fang Senyan became vigilant:

"If the enemy hadn't been infected by my disease for more than ten minutes, and if they hadn't also used up almost all of their big moves, and were now at the end of their rope, otherwise, in front of such a team, I would only have the chance to escape..."

At this thought, a sinister smile appeared on Fang Senyan's face:

"Then if I don't kill you now, am I supposed to wait until you all recover and then come and kill me? Magic crossbow, very good, very good!! It was your handiwork that blasted Mogansha into ice dust! That's a debt with a debtor!"

In the blazing flames, Fang Senyan noticed that small black spots were appearing on his skin. These black spots were extremely inconspicuous when they first appeared, but soon they gradually became clearer, and one could tell that each of these spots was composed of extremely fine black carbonized dots.

Soon, these black carbonized dots gathered together, surging like a tide onto his skin. Pungent blue smoke rose up, filled with a burnt smell! Fang Senyan's health points were also dropping crazily like a waterfall, but the rate of decline was still relatively stable.

"Oh? So after hitting me, it also produces a certain degree of paralysis, causing a continuously burning sea of fire to form around me?" Fang Senyan immediately planned to pounce to the side to avoid suffering continuous damage. But at this moment, a strong mental wave came again.

He suddenly felt that his ankles were extremely heavy, as if he had been forcibly hung with a hundred kilograms of weight. Immediately afterwards, he felt an unusual tightness. He looked down and realized that he had been fixed to the spot by rocks that had grown out of nowhere, locking his feet tightly like shackles! Fang Senyan couldn't move at all for a while.

"This should be an auxiliary spell ability, but it's a pity that Kulu Tewo's ability can't reach that far, otherwise you would be scum!" Seeing that he could no longer dodge the subsequent damage, Fang Senyan simply hugged his head with his arms and stubbornly allowed the remaining flames to burn on his body.

This was Fang Senyan's incomparably barbaric method of dealing with the situation. It was estimated that among the MTs, only he dared to gamble with his health points here! Seeing this situation, Pulizbila was even more annoyed, gnashing his teeth and saying:

"Damn it, if I hadn't consumed too much mental strength before, how could I have let you be so presumptuous?"

As he spoke, he coughed violently. Suddenly, his eyes lit up as if he had remembered something, and he immediately took out a pearl-like object from his chest and shouted to KD:

"KD, come and help me!"

KD took a deep breath and poured mental strength into the "pearl" as quickly as possible. Then Pulizbila gritted his teeth again and pulled open the magic crossbow!

Obviously, this shooting frequency was too fast for the magic crossbow, so the hand that Pulizbila used to draw the bow was cut open with a terrifying bloody gash. The blood instantly soaked the bowstring, and the price he paid was quite high. But in this instant, he aimed at the enemy again and suddenly shot out a leaping beam of light, almost like a scaled-down version of a comet hitting the earth.

But Fang Senyan didn't dodge, nor did he make any defensive posture. He just looked over with a strange, mocking look. The great weapon jointly created by KD and Pulizbila whizzed over, but went roaring past, passing five or six meters away from Fang Senyan's head, and finally flashed with light at the heart of a building five or six hundred meters away, and then disappeared without a trace.

Without a doubt, looking at Pulizbila's ashen face, one knew that he had made the most frequent mistake that a shooter could make, which was to shoot wide. And this wasn't because Fang Senyan had a stroke of luck, but because the headache effect derived from the A-virus had evolved into: Hallucination, which gave the enemy a certain chance of experiencing hallucinations, causing their next attack to inevitably miss.
