He was imprisoned in Nibelungen for a thousand years, only to find out upon his release that he was

Hier glared at him. This junior had already become so engrossed in his work that he had completely forgotten about his duties and tasks?

It is said that these two ancestors were tied up here and have not been moved since the interrogation.

It seems they lack conceptual means of killing undead beings.

Hiel understood this. After all, although the Ancestors seemed to be only similar in strength to Heroic Spirits, their immortality was exceptionally strong, leaving most Heroic Spirits far behind.

If they hadn't taught people how to fight the Dead Apostles for so long and know their weaknesses, it would have been very difficult for ordinary people to kill these vampires.

Hiel, having mastered the soul-piercing sword technique from the swordsman Beze, could inflict irreparable injuries on the Dead Apostles.

Given the current condition of Frofor and Ottenrose, their blood reserves are probably already depleted, making their execution even easier.

This is the first favor I've done since I started working with Lu Ming's team.

Just as Hiel was about to take out the greatsword from the Seventh Holy Scripture, he suddenly saw Lu Ming walking over, his eyes closed as if deep in thought.

He was muttering to himself:

"Circuit adjustment...destroy living organisms...find vulnerable points..."

He was gesturing something with his hands.

Before Hier could even see the slight movement of his fist, half of White Wing's body was instantly blown apart, and then it regenerated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The execution of Zu had zero effect.

However, the level of pain and torment is 100%.

Hier immediately tried to cover his ears because the White Winged Duke was in so much pain that his expression was contorted. He was being beaten and was cursing and screaming loudly, "You're all dead! All the plans were for that lord! This world will belong to us sooner or later!" and so on.

No, you twenty-seven ancestors didn't actually conspire with Odin on that whole plan, did you?

Hier lowered his hands from his ears, a deep weariness and helplessness welling up from the bottom of his heart. What on earth is wrong with this world?

Forget it, she'd put aside what she couldn't understand for now. She picked up the Seventh Holy Scripture, ready to lend a hand and take down the incessantly nagging Ancestor.

"Wait... I think I understand... I can see now!"

Lu Ming suddenly clenched his fist and opened his eyes.

He kept thinking, why couldn't he destroy the vulnerable points of living beings like Xia Mi destroyed objects, easily restraining the immortality of Deadpool monsters and dragons, and thus quickly annihilating the enemy?

What is the difference between inanimate objects and living organisms?

How about understanding it from an essential perspective?

Essentially, it refers to the various elements that make up the entire world.

According to the Dragon Clan's worldview, all things are composed of the elements of earth, water, wind, and fire, but life forms with souls are different, as they also involve spiritual elements that are higher than matter.

To capture the greatest weakness of a living organism, one must observe its soul, that is, its spiritual element.

This is similar to the Philosopher's Stone, crafted purely from spiritual elements, which Kassel College produced. It can effectively counter dragons, which are adept at self-regeneration, and inflict true damage.

Now I understand.

Lu Ming's eyes worked at lightning speed, correcting the logic of the links, and combining his current knowledge and understanding to try to capture "soul waves" in addition to "matter waves".

I see! They have new "lines" on them!

The next moment, he swiftly threw a punch, the force of which seemed low but was as fast as a meteor, and the fist slammed down on different parts of the two ancestors' bodies.

Bang bang bang!

In that instant, Hiel seemed to see an ancient lamp shining brightly, like a blazing sun suddenly rising and spewing intense flames, bombarding the vampires who feared the power of the sun.

Floyd also woke up at this moment, "That was... a direct hit to the soul..."

He stared blankly, his eyes gradually losing their luster.

That's bare-handed boxing—precisely capturing soul fluctuations without a single error! The nemesis of immortal bodies!

His martial arts skills and talent, as unstoppable as the rising sun, far surpassed those of that church member, Hiel!

"Be proud, you are strong too!"

Lu Ming sighed inwardly, realizing that he was being forced to develop new skills!

Is it strong?

Bai Yigong was also stunned.

If you have this skill, then why were you torturing me so relentlessly before?!

After speaking, Lu Ming withdrew his fist and stood up. Not long after, the two patriarchs died.

"..."

Hier looked at the Seventh Holy Scripture in his hand, feeling bewildered.

What did I come here for?

Volume 1: Chapter 88 Oh my god, that scared me to death!

hum-

When Lu Ming tried to use the viewing function again, he suddenly felt a sharp pain inside his eyes.

He swayed slightly and blinked his obviously hot and swollen eyes.

Feeling the considerable burden transmitted through the internal optic nerve, prominent blood vessels began to spread extensively in the whites of the eyes.

Oh no! My eyes are about to suffer another serious injury. How many times has this happened today? This is bad for my health in the long run, I need to stop for a while.

Hiss...

The surrounding landscape, which was originally a bizarre view with countless crisscrossing "lines" scattered everywhere, returned to normal the moment the eye function was turned off.

"call......"

The discomfort dissipated, and Lu Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, this was the first time that a temporary eye circuit modification had been made in order to observe spiritual elements. Although it was successful in terms of results, it was not a perfect fit.

It will probably require continuous fine-tuning.

Moreover, the "lines" he observed on living organisms were not constant but appeared and disappeared intermittently, exhibiting fluctuations.

That's why Lu Ming couldn't wait to make a quick move and defeat the enemy.

If you stand there in a daze, you might not be able to see the "line" of your soul clearly in your field of vision, which means that the opportunity is fleeting from an objective point of view.

"Are fluctuations at the soul level really more difficult to observe than material waves?"

Lu Ming murmured to himself, secretly pondering that this spiritual element was indeed extremely mysterious, worthy of being a being superior to the four material elements of earth, water, fire, and wind.

Based on previous experience, seeing the "line" requires a deep understanding, just like Skadi repeatedly explained the material and rune structure of the bronze city wall to Lu Ming, thus helping him to understand it deeply.

The observation of the "lines" of living organisms also stems from the understanding of the "soul" or spiritual elements.

Currently, his ability to observe such unstable "lines" indicates that his understanding is not high, far below his own understanding of these city walls. It is clear that there is still a long way to go.

"Ugh, this is too difficult."

But there's no way around it; there are always some truths and some things that you have to understand and experience for yourself.

The road ahead is long and arduous, but I will persevere in my pursuit!

...What exactly is so difficult about you?

Hierle, listening from the side, couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Judging from the two ancestors' "unclosed eyes" reactions before their deaths, Lu Ming had obviously just successfully unleashed this move and had never known how to do it before.

Otherwise, when she visited before, these two vampires would most likely have lost limbs.

But how long has it been since Lu Ming took down those two guys? Judging from his brief conversations with others, it seems like it hasn't even been half a day.

In other words, a complete novice who was originally clueless about undead monsters managed to understand the essence of the game and take down the enemy within a few hours?

On the other hand, how many years did it take Hierre to learn the swordsmanship of the sword monk Beze?

You think this is too difficult? That's enough!

......

"Everyone, the situation is difficult, but we must hold on! Don't give up easily, and don't be misled by the monsters outside!"

Dr. Amelia Levitt spoke into the walkie-talkie, her face pale but her voice strong and clear.

She was originally Tsubaki Kugaoka's attending physician, but now she's more like a wartime supervisor.

This is the Central Hospital of Xueyuan City, on the 6th floor of the inpatient building.

The once bustling scene of being packed with people most of the time is gone. The pungent smell of disinfectant has also evaporated completely, replaced by an overwhelming stench of blood.

Looking out from the upper floors of the hospital building, towering walls, like a mist, tightly encircle the area, with some writhing black shadows that look like giant spiders or monsters like tigers, leopards, and wolves vaguely appearing.

"Dr. Levitt, don't go too close to the corridor! The 'bird' will fly in!" The nurse next to her quickly closed the window and pulled her to a position closer to the room.

Crash! Almost simultaneously, the window glass of a corridor in the distance shattered!

"Aaaaah! Don't eat me!"

A man in a hospital gown screamed, but the giant bird that had suddenly appeared ignored him. It pounced with its sharp claws, grabbed the man's shoulders, flapped its wings, and flew swiftly out of the building!

Amelia and her companion peered through the crack in the door, still shaken, but their hearts were once again filled with despair and helplessness.

"Are the patients on the other floors alright?"

The nurse quickly said, "About 70-80% of the patients on the fifth floor and above have been temporarily transferred, but there are still quite a few on the lower floors who believed those monsters' nonsense about 'killing rules'..."

The nurse hesitated for a few moments, then stopped speaking.

The fate of those people is already beyond doubt.

Amelia's eyes dimmed. This hospital, located in the city center, usually had a huge flow of people, and it had become even more so recently due to the frequent accidents.

When those eerie city walls rose high and the monster tide surged, the dense crowds on the first and second floors, especially in the outpatient building, instantly went out of control. The medical staff alone were simply unable to maintain order.

Immediately afterwards, a strange voice explaining the 'killing rules' came from mid-air, the gist of which was that there would be rewards for participating in killing, and those who refused to participate would be captured and executed by monsters.

It's obvious they're forcing everyone to kill each other.

At first, people were terrified and unable to discern the truth, but when those ferocious beasts, as large as buildings and with hideous and terrifying appearances, attacked, they had no choice but to blindly follow.

Doctors like Amelia initially urged everyone to stop immediately.

However, the killers have already tasted the sweetness of it—after they kill people, they are not considered targets of monster attacks, and their own life essence is even strengthened!

So the rules really do come into effect, so what are we waiting for?

Soon, the people on the lower floors, along with some patients with mild symptoms, began to fight each other to survive, turning several floors into a bloody inferno.

Bang bang bang!

A sudden and loud thud on the ground jolted Amelia and her companion awake from their blood-red memories.

Peeking through the gap in the curtains, I discovered an eight-legged monster that had somehow sprung up from around the corner of the stairwell.

The monster had bloodshot eyes, eight thick spider legs with bright bristles, and most terrifyingly, its upper body was that of a human male!

A creature that is half-human and half-spider is like a species from a nightmare!

"Andy..."

Amelia looked pained. This man was her colleague in the same department, but he had listened to the monster's lies and participated in the killing game.

At first, you might not think much of it, but soon, the rules of killing revealed their hidden cruelty—the more people you kill, the more the killer, who gains enhancement, mutates into a "monster."

Perhaps it grows an extra pair of spider legs, or perhaps it grows scales all over its body, or perhaps it becomes a beast with sharp teeth and claws... the possibilities are endless.

At the same time, the higher the degree of mutation, the more the killer will gradually lose his rationality... until finally, he will be no different from those monsters that slaughter everywhere!

Amelia looked sadly at the approaching half-human, half-spider monster.

She couldn't imagine how many innocent citizens, heeding the rules, had embarked on a path of no return, ultimately becoming part of those monsters, and then continuing to unknowingly slaughter their former kind.

This is terrible and heartbreaking.

He studied medicine, yet he couldn't save the world.

pat.

Just then, the nurse handed an AR-15 to the attending physician and took a Browning pistol for herself. The two exchanged glances, nodded, and expertly disengaged the safety.

America is a country where everyone is highly militant, and even large hospitals are equipped with firearms. Although these were actually gathered from the work areas of outsourced security personnel.
