The atmosphere gradually tensed and solidified, with conflict on the verge of breaking out!
However, the Monsters present were even more excited, wishing both sides would start fighting immediately.
It would be best if they fought until both were severely injured, giving the Monsters a chance to rush in and pick up an arm or a leg for a full meal.
However, Han Sen did not get angry; instead, he looked at the Slime Octopus's information on the system panel with interest, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
Monster: Slime Octopus
Disaster Level: Tiger (Mid)
Ability 1: "Viscous Ink (N)": Sprays a large amount of highly viscous ink rich in potent venom from its mouth, capable of interfering with the enemy's senses and actions.
Ability 2: "Powerful Constriction (R)": Eight tentacles possess powerful muscle strength and tenacity, allowing for high-speed entanglement and fatal constriction.
Ability 3: "Tentacle Regeneration (N)": Severed tentacles can regenerate after consuming a certain amount of life force.
Tiger-level mid-tier, one R-level ability, two N-level abilities.
Before, it would have been an existence Han Sen wouldn't dare to provoke, but now...
At this moment, he was no longer the same!
The Inhuman System judged Han Sen's strength as Tiger-level upper, but that was not comparable to an ordinary Tiger-level upper!
Not to mention that the Slime Octopus, the strongest here, was only judged as Tiger-level mid by the system!
The four golden abilities copied from Pochita were each more powerful than the last, enough to allow Han Sen to enjoy the treatment of a sect genius, invincible among his peers!
“Oh, really… do you have an opinion?”
Han Sen's voice rang out again.
This time, the scorching sensation it contained was even more obvious, like a volcano about to erupt.
“Of course, I have an opinion.”
Taking a step forward, his body covered in grotesque black armor, though not as tall as the Slime Octopus, was filled with an explosive sense of power.
“What is your opinion!?”
The Slime Octopus’s eyes were sinister, and the suction cups on its eight tentacles opened and closed, emitting a grating sound, ready to launch an attack at any moment.
It had expected Han Sen to back down, but it never thought this guy would dare to stand firm!
“My opinion is…”
Han Sen raised his head, his eyes covered by the faceplate looking directly at the Slime Octopus, a dangerous crimson light flashing in them.
“You should die.”
“…You’re asking for death!!!”
The Slime Octopus snapped back to reality, instantly enraged and humiliated!
Its massive octopus head suddenly flushed red, and its eight tentacles, like mad pythons emerging from a cave, whizzed through the air with astonishing speed, violently lashing out at Han Sen!
Before the tentacles even reached him, a strong, fishy, sticky odor assailed him, almost making him nauseous!
“They’re fighting!”
“Tear him apart, Boss Octopus!”
“Kill that bug!”
“…”
The surrounding Monsters all let out excited, bloodthirsty roars, as if they had already envisioned Han Sen being whipped by the tentacles until his bones broke, then being constricted alive into a puddle of flesh!
Facing the encirclement of eight tentacles, whistling like steel whips, Han Sen’s eyes held no fear, but rather a hint of bloodthirsty excitement!
It was time to test the true value of the SSR abilities!
In a flash of lightning, Han Sen’s senses were heightened to the extreme!
The flow of time was instantly stretched, and the eight rapidly approaching tentacles seemed to be playing in slow motion.
Attack trajectories, power, speed, angles… even the strong winds they generated, all appeared clearly in his mind!
Fast!
Just as the tentacles were about to strike, the dark figure instantly moved, like a black arrow released from a bowstring, suddenly breaking through the air!
Han Sen’s figure seemed to teleport, passing through the gaps in the eight tentacles’ encirclement at an incredible angle, appearing directly at the side of the Slime Octopus’s massive body!
This speed completely surpassed the reaction limit of a Tiger-level Monster!
The super-strong crisis perception and combat intuition granted by Beast Instinct allowed him to pre-emptively predict all attack trajectories, while the powerful base stats provided by Overgrowth and Ferocious Beast Body allowed him to erupt with formidable strength and speed far exceeding his current disaster level!
“What?!”
A strong warning blared in the Slime Octopus’s mind, and its pupils sharply contracted!
In just a blur, the target had vanished into thin air!
Immediately after, an extreme sense of danger came from its side!
It then realized with horror that this “waste” who had only been a Wolf-level mid-tier a few hours ago, now possessed a speed so fast that even it could barely track his movements!
How was this possible?!
Before its sluggish nerves could react, adjust its posture, or spray ink to interfere,
A sharp claw, covered in grotesque black carapace and with cold light glinting from its fingertips, was already tearing through the air with a whooshing sound, striking out as fast as lightning!
Its target was precisely the Slime Octopus’s massive and defenseless head!
Pffft—!!!
Like a sharp knife piercing into rotten flesh!
Han Sen’s sharp claws easily tore through the Slime Octopus’s slippery skin and fragile cartilage tissue, his five fingers deeply embedding themselves into its head!
Half of the Slime Octopus’s head caved in, and blue blood, like low-quality ink, mixed with shattered white brain tissue, sprayed out wildly from between his fingers like a fountain!
“Ugh ah ah ah—!!!”
The intense pain of having its brain directly pierced and the fear of death instantly overwhelmed the Slime Octopus!
It let out a shriek so horrifying it seemed impossible for a living creature to make, and its remaining intact tentacles thrashed wildly as if insane, uncontrollably flailing and furiously striking at Han Sen, who was just inches away!
However, these attacks, which could be considered powerful even among Tiger-level Monsters, only produced dull thuds as they struck Han Sen’s black carapace, which was covered in crimson patterns!
Sparks flew!
How could the physique and defense, initially strengthened by Ferocious Beast Body Lv1, be easily shaken by mere Tiger-level mid-tier physical attacks?
Even with such frantic thrashing, hardly any marks were left on the carapace!
“This is impossible!”
Its attacks couldn’t even break through his defense, the Slime Octopus’s face was filled with disbelief!
However, it didn’t just sit there and wait for death; its massive octopus head suddenly tilted back, and a viscous, foul-smelling, pitch-black liquid suddenly sprayed from its mouth!
“Viscous Ink”!
This ink not only contained strong toxins and corrosiveness but also could interfere with sight and perception, making it one of its ultimate trump cards!
“Oh, really… you want to trade blows, do you?”
A hint of playfulness flashed in Han Sen’s eyes.
He severed a wildly flailing tentacle with a claw, and as Han Sen rapidly retreated, he simultaneously opened his mouth.
Dazzling, blazing white light converged in his mouth, forming an energy projectile that emitted terrifying high temperatures and destructive fluctuations!
The energy projectile quickly formed and, facing the foul-smelling ink that was raining down, it brazenly blasted forth!
“Scorching Heat Bullet”!!
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—!
As soon as the high-heat energy made contact with the foul-smelling ink, it produced a violent sizzling sound of evaporation!
The viscous ink instantly vaporized and annihilated under the terrifying high temperature, unable to hinder the energy projectile in the slightest!
In the Slime Octopus’s remaining single eye, its pupil suddenly contracted to the extreme, reflecting the rapidly expanding crimson sphere of light that emanated a deathly aura!
Fear!
Despair!
The next moment, its massive body was completely engulfed by the suddenly expanding and erupting energy projectile!
Boom—!!!
