Chapter 382: Demon Infant’s Absorption

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Fatty left.

Tang Ling squatted down in a corner of the yard, tidying up his spoils: the black gloves that he had stripped from the black-robed clergies.

These black gloves were magical. They were extremely stretchable and had great defensive attributes.

In order to get a better understanding, Tang Ling had purposely retrieved the broken pair of gloves from earlier for testing.

With his strength, he could stretch the gloves to 2 meters long at the most. If he cut it with his Grade A alloy dagger, even with his current strength, he had to pour in some effort to truly cut it. The gloves were great! They were similar to the rubber products from the old civilization, only countless times better.

Tang Ling got the related information in his head when he was collecting the gloves as well.

‘Discovered special equipment from black-robed clergy: Dark Demon Gloves. However, no matter how you look at it, doesn’t it look like the skin of some living being?’

The skin of a living being?!

It sounded disgusting, but Tang Ling did not care because he was planning something else. The Dark Demon Gloves’ defensive capabilities were outstanding, and wearing a few layers would surely provide a better effect.

Of course, the gloves itself had no secret contraption or whatsoever to extend the arm as the black-robed clergy had. The black-robed clergy had been able to do that because one of his arms had transformed into an appendage of the Demon Seed and had no longer been a human arm.

However, the ability to extend the arm matched the gloves’ traits well.

Tang Ling killed 14 black-robed clergies and got a total of 12 pairs of gloves. Given his inner Scrooge, he would never let any spoils slip, and on top of that, he planned to wear multiple layers! Still, he only had 12 pairs!

He planned to share the spoils with Fatty since he was feeling generous. He gave a pair of gloves to Fatty, but one of the gloves was damaged and was no longer suitable for practical use.

Nevertheless, Fatty despised the gift. He complained that the gloves were broken and useless, so he did not want to take it. Tang Ling had to deceive Fatty that the gloves were a token to commemorate their meeting. Only then Fatty reluctantly accept them.

Damn you! Tang Ling grumbled in his heart. It was not Fatty’s fault though since he did come from a wealthy family. That heavy backpack of his must contain a lot of useful things. Fatty simply gave Tang Ling something before he left. He claimed that these things were actually super-advanced arsenal—they were thermal grenades.

When a thermal grenade was thrown, it would not explode but could create a high-temperature environment of 1,000°C in a 20-meter radius which could last for 5 seconds.

“As long as the enemies don’t have talent, even if they don’t die, their skin won’t be spared. I’m giving you these two precious balls. Aren’t I an amazing brother?” Fatty had a hard time parting ways with the two thermal grenades when he gave them to Tang Ling.

Two precious balls? Why does that sound so wrong?

Tang Ling did not know why it sounded wrong, but he took the two thermal grenades without hesitation. These two thermal grenades were a lot more powerful than traditional grenades as they could create an area of 1,000°C in an instant. The melting point of iron was only 1,538°C.

Grenades had been used as a single-handed large-scale weapon in the old civilization. However, its effect was rather insignificant because back then, there was a limit to how far humans could throw and how precise their throw could be. There was also a buffer time before the explosion.

Had one fallen in the hands of the supermen of the Purple Moon era, plus an instantaneous effect, Tang Ling would want an infinite amount of these.

Tang Ling was humming a melody while he wore three layers of gloves on each hand before he put the thermal grenades in his arms.

He found it strange. It had been half an hour, so why had the reinforcements not arrived? Why did the building not respond as expected?

Speaking of the devil, right after the thoughts came into his mind, Tang Ling heard heavy galloping and marching footsteps heading towards him rapidly from afar.

As his strength gradually recovered, his hearing returned. The moment he heard the noises, he knew even without thinking that reinforcements had arrived.

What should I do now? Rush into the building and have a look? Will I be able to escape later?

Tang Ling was thinking about whether he should pick up this bargain or not.

Regardless, he glanced over at the white-robed apologist’s body beside him. There were still some shells that the fire had not destroyed. Should he strip the body clean before he escaped?

He did not know if he could bring these items back to the real world, but what if he could? Would he not punch himself to death for not taking them?

Although he had decided to give up on taking the risk, he would not let go of the spoils in his hands.

With that in mind, Tang Ling was just about to reach out to the white-robed apologist’s body, but at that second, a loud bang exploded at the locked door of the building. A monster emerged and behind it were five black-robed clergies and more than ten Fallen Knights.

Tang Ling blinked in confusion. How did they survive inside? The fire had been raging for a while now.

The monster that dashed out first was expected. It should be the so-called devil that was hiding in the building. What baffled Tang Ling were the black-robed clergies and Fallen Knights. How did they survive?

Amidst his confusion, new information came into his mind.

‘Eliminate black-robed clergies: 16/20.

‘Eliminate Demon Seeds: 10/50.’

It clearly stated that among the 20 black-robed clergies that arrived, other than the 14 that Tang Ling had killed, the two who died in the fire were also counted towards his kill count.

His mission of the Demon Seed was shared with Fatty. Among those Fallen Knights who had died in the fire, two of them had Demon Seeds, so after sharing the mission, both Tang Ling and Fatty got one kill each.

The Dream Domain information had always been vague, but hints were all over the place like how the knights and clergies that died in the fire had finally been added to the killcount. It indicated that this whole mess had come to an end and a new story was starting.

If Tang Ling decided to avoid them, he would only have a tiny window to escape the messy battlefield. If he decided to secure the bargain, then…

Tang Ling had actually given up securing the bargain, but it did not stop him from sparing a curious glance. It was precisely the curious glance that made him change his mind.

He decided to change his mind because of the form of the monster that raced out from the building.

The monster was rather similar to the monster form of the white-robed apologist. Unlike the apologist’s form which had been black in color, this monster was copper.

The white-robed apologist’s monster form was exactly the same as the Demon Seed which had six appendages. This monster, however, resembled a human and only had four appendages, but they were more robust.

Other than that, the monster had many tiny tentacles waving freely on its back, making it look rather disgusting. Its size was almost twice as big as the white-robed apologist’s monster form at almost 3.5 meters tall.

No matter how Tang Ling looked at it, this monster that dashed out of the building seemed a lot stronger. However, he noticed that the monster’s form was rather volatile. It had only been out for moments and its body had already glimmered seven to eight times.

The flickers might seem normal to other people, but Tang Ling seized a better picture of the monster. Every time its body glimmered, the scales on its body would disappear, revealing its human form.

As for why?

Tang Ling soon discovered the answer!

The black-robed clergies were bold enough to chase the monster out because one of them was holding a bottle in his hand. It was something similar to a flask.

That particular black-robed clergy chased the monster and splashed the water in the bottle onto it. When the water hit the monster’s body, the monster would groan in pain and its form grew even more unstable.

The bottle of water! I must get it!

Once Tang Ling made up his mind, he would not hesitate anymore!

He sped towards the monster and the group of clergies. He wanted to summon the little seed for another transformation, but he suddenly heard the monster calling out to him, “Outsider, save me!”

Outsider? Tang Ling’s heart skipped a beat.

Before he could think properly, he realized that half of one of the monster’s appendages was broken.

His guess was verified by the scene. He did not answer the monster and continued dashing forward instead.

Man and monster ran past each other. Tang Ling jumped towards the Fallen Knights while brandishing his Blood Bulrush Sword.

He did not care about the black-robed clergies at the moment because he wanted them to hold the monster down. He would not want to let the monster escape while he tried to save it from danger, would he?

Tang Ling planned his strategy as such.

A dozen Fallen Knights were nothing to him. Less than 20 seconds after he jumped into the group, all the Fallen Knights had fallen to Blood Bulrush Sword.

He turned around. The monster was still tangled up with the black-robed clergies and one of them excitedly taunted the monster, “You are dead meat! Our reinforcements are arriving.”

Tang Ling chuckled coldly and rushed towards them.

Killing the black-robed clergies might be a little more troublesome, but they were no longer his match since he had recovered a portion of his strength. Moreover, the monster was still around to hold them back.

Another minute later, all five of the black-robed clergies died by Tang Ling’s swift Blood Bulrush Sword. The black-robed clergy with the bottle of water went mad at the last moment and splashed more than half of the bottle on the monster’s body.

Roar!

The monster growled in pain. Its body started to blister heavily and it rolled on the ground in agony.

Tang Ling glanced outside the yard. He did not have the time to ask questions as he quickly snatched the bottle of water from the black-robed clergy and stuffed it into his backpack. He then skillfully and quickly stripped the black-robed clergies of their gloves.

Then, the reinforcement troops had arrived in front of the building. Tang Ling could see them while standing in the yard. With his keen eyesight, he clearly saw that the leader was a man in red robes. Behind that man were three more white-robed apologists and a large number of black-robed clergies and Fallen Knights.

“Sh*t just got real.” Tang Ling gulped nervously.

“Take me away. Save me, save me…” The monster rolling on the ground begged Tang Ling to save its life.

Tang Ling was stunned for a moment. He did not expect the monster’s body to shrink and revert into a man with blonde hair. On the back of the weakened man was a strange-looking thing that resembled a Demon Seed and a human baby at the same time.

Before he could have a closer look, the strange thing jumped at him.

Tang Ling’s body had entered the microsensing state, but he did not dodge it. An appendage extended out from it and hooked Tang Ling’s back, crawling up to him swiftly.

Tang Ling’s sight started to go blur and his body started to glimmer. The man with blonde hair was shouting something at him, but he could not hear it anymore.

Both Kun and Ya, who had been watching the show, reacted in shock.
