Under the moonlight, Lin Huang could clearly see the monster's face.
It was a humanoid monster that was more than three meters tall. Its body was covered in blood.
It had four limbs like a human and it stood upright on both feet.
The features that were different from human beings were also very obvious. He didn't have human skin, scales, or feathers like other animals. It looked like a human specimen that had been skinned. There were countless disgusting pustules of all sizes on its body.
The strangest thing was its head. There were no human facial features on its head, only one organ. It was a ferocious mouth that took up half of its face. There were fangs that looked like steel nails in its mouth. If one had to use a word to describe it, it would be like a braised egg with a big mouth, the kind that was full of pustules.
Lin Huang thought he had seen many ugly monsters in the monster guide. However, the monster in front of him had changed his perception of how ugly it was.
"It really doesn't have a penis. Such an ugly monster can't fall in love. It's unnecessary," Lin Huang thought to himself. He then looked serious.
The moment it broke out of the pale man's body, the monster's combat strength had been upgraded to the third imperial-level – gold-level.
No matter how it looked like, it was undoubtedly powerful.
After checking it out, Lin Huang's face turned pale. It was not because of the monster's combat strength, but because of the disgusting evil aura that it exuded. Lin Huang could not help but feel disgusted by the aura. It was just like how a normal person would feel when they saw a cockroach. However, it was a hundred times more intense.
"Abyssal monster …" As soon as he sensed the aura, Lin Huang knew where the monster came from.
It was not his first time dealing with an abyssal monster. He had the same feeling every time he encountered it. However, it was more obvious this time.
The dragon flame on the ground had stopped burning.
The skinless monster staggered two steps on the ground before it managed to stabilize itself.
Right at this moment, a bright red glow shone from the sky. With the skinless monster as the center, it covered an area of 100 meters. At the same time, a red alert page popped up on Lin Huang's Emperor's Heart Ring. The rapid beeping sounded like an alarm clock.
[Warning! Suspected imperial-level monsters have invaded foothold No.3A5! "
"Preliminary analysis, the invasive species is an abyssal monster with a combat strength of gold-level!"
[The target has been marked, please hurry to the marked location to kill!]
That was the message sent by the Grade-A foothold's defense system. The defense system would conduct a self-inspection of the safe zone every minute. As long as it sensed an abnormal monster aura, it would immediately mark the location and send an alert to the human powerhouses with the corresponding authority.
The skinless monster's combat strength was on imperial-level. Therefore, only those who had obtained imperial-level authorization would receive the message.
Coincidentally, Lin Huang's Emperor's Heart Ring was also an imperial-level authorization.
He had heard about the Grade-A foothold having such a defense system when he was in Division7, but it was the first time that the defense system had been activated.
The imperial-level powerhouses in Wanbao City received the same alert almost at the same time.
"Is there another loophole in the Grade-A foothold's defense system? Or is there a new type of monster that can avoid the detection of the defense system? If it's the latter, I'll have interesting research materials. "
"Is there a monster invasion? I'm bored. I can fight it and collect some materials at the same time! Eh, it's a gold-level. It seems like I can't defeat it … "
"It's in the western suburbs. It's so far away. I'm already 1,800 kilometers away from the east of the city. It'll be too late by then. Why doesn't the monster come to the east of the city? There are so many beauties in the east of the city … "
"A gold-level monster should be a good stew. I hope it's not a humanoid monster or one that's hideous. I'm sick of looking at it. "
…
Many imperial-level powerhouses rushed to the west of the city with different thoughts in their minds.
The west of the city was a barren land that was sparsely populated. Nobody wanted to waste the coordinates of the dimensional relic and set the teleportation point nearby. Since they could not teleport, they could only fly over.
"Warning! You're approaching the target. You're 237 meters away from the monster. Please get ready for battle as soon as possible! "
A notification popped up on Lin Huang's Emperor's Heart Ring. He closed the notification and looked down at the skinless monster whose aura had reached its peak.
The skinless monster lifted its head slowly and aimed its eyeless head at Lin Huang who was in mid-air. It then opened its mouth and spoke in the same voice as the pale man earlier. "It took me a lot of effort to sneak into the human foothold. I've been very careful for the past few months as I was afraid that my identity would be exposed. I've even managed to sneak into the Grade-A foothold. I didn't expect to meet you today … "
Lin Huang looked helpless. Before the skinless monster revealed itself, he had no idea that it was a monster. He thought that it was a high-ranking member of an underworld organization.
"If you'd listened to me and let me go, you might've been able to live for a while longer. However, since my identity has been exposed, there's no need for me to hide my real ability anymore. It's time to settle the score between us … "
"Erm, are you sure you want to waste your time on me?" Lin Huang pointed at the red glow in the sky. "The foothold's defense system has been activated. All the imperial-levels in Wanbao City are heading here now. If you stay here for another minute, there might be a few more imperial-levels coming to kill you. "
"I'm not worried about that at all. I don't even need a minute to kill you." As soon as the skinless monster finished its sentence, it disappeared from where it was.
The next moment, Lin Huang was alerted. Before he could pull out his sword, he sensed that the skinless monster was already in front of him. It extended its sharp claws towards the left side of his chest.
Feeling helpless, Lin Huang could only create a Dark Mirror in front of him to block the attack.
Almost at the same time when the Dark Mirror appeared, a ghost-like sharp claw pressed on the Dark Mirror.
As soon as the Dark Mirror collided with the claw, the indestructible Dark Mirror cracked. It was like a tempered glass that had been hit by a heavy object. White cracks could be seen on it. However, the cracks only lasted for less than a second before the Mirror of Darkness completely disintegrated, turning into fragments that dissipated inch by inch.
Lin Huang's pupils shrunk. It was the first time that his Dark Mirror had been destroyed by someone.
After the mirror was broken, the remaining force hit Lin Huang. In the next second, his body flew out from Charcoal's back like a meteor. He landed hard on the ground far away, creating a deep pit.
"You're still alive?" The skinless monster could sense that Lin Huang's aura was still lingering.
It glanced at Charcoal, but it did not attack him. In a flash, it appeared above the pit where Lin Huang had landed.
Just when it was about to attack, it felt a heat wave coming from behind it.
It turned around and saw that Charcoal had appeared behind it. It opened its mouth and spat dragon flames at it.
"If you're on imperial-level, I might be afraid of your dragon flame. However, it's no different from scratching an itch to me now." The skinless monster swung its claws and the dragon flame was immediately dispersed. "That's right, Lin Huang.
Seeing that the dragon flames were dispersed by its claws, fear flashed through Charcoal's eyes. It knew very well that its opponent's ability was not something that it could fight at its current level.
Charcoal peeped at the deep pit below and looked away. It stared at the skinless monster and refused to leave.
"They say that dragonkins are arrogant and it's impossible to tame them. You're an exception. I can't believe you're so loyal to a human. "The skinless monster laughed. Of course, it saw what Charcoal was doing and knew that it was trying to protect its master.
"What right do you have to comment on me? Aren't you still following orders? "
Charcoal stared at the skinless monster and remained in a stalemate. It hoped that it could buy more time for Lin Huang to recover.
"My master is a ninth-rank True God-level powerhouse. He's known as the Master God in the virtual zone. Such a despicable species like humans have no right to be compared to my master … "The skinless monster realized that something was wrong after it finished speaking." Are you helping that human to buy more time?! "
Furious, the skinless monster extended its claws towards the deep pit below.
At that moment, Charcoal appeared in front of it in a flash. It opened its mouth and bit its head.
Before Charcoal could bite its head, a strong force came from its waist. Charcoal's body flew out and crashed into a deep pit hundreds of meters away.
