Abyssal Invasion, I Wield Dark Authority – Chapter 24

Ch 24: Weird Creatures

Reality isn’t a game, nor is it a novel.

Opening a big move won’t make you invincible.

The enemy also can’t possibly wait for you for half a day, to open the big move before coming to beat you…

At least Qin Jin-nian wouldn’t.

Confirming that the youth was already dead, the shadow spike that pierced his body slowly softened, eventually retracting into the ground, turning into a pitch-black shadow, returning to Qin Jin-nian’s feet…

The youth lay on the ground with his head tilted, his eyes wide open, the unwillingness and regret in his eyes almost condensing out of his eye sockets, and the blood beneath him slowly seeped out… but it wasn’t very obvious at night.

Qin Jin-nian exhaled a long breath.

This world is indeed too dangerous. It seems that I’m a bit too cocky after gaining superpowers… Knowing that this youth was very likely an extremely dangerous person, I actually followed him so openly…

Yes, his expression did seem a bit dazed.

But Qin Jin-nian clearly saw the black mist on his head and noticed his abnormality… but he never thought that his tracking might be discovered by him?

Was it because he suddenly gained power, his mentality was momentarily unbalanced, and he couldn’t maintain his usual state of mind?

Thinking of this, Qin Jin-nian secretly warned himself…

This world is very dangerous, and I am still just a small fry.

In the future, I still have to be cautious and prudent in my actions.

If this man wasn’t more arrogant than him, then the one lying here now would very likely be him…

Qin Jin-nian took a deep breath, secretly remembering this lesson, and then began to ponder…

So, what exactly is this man?

That kind of evil state was clearly extraordinary. And his combat power was very strong… If it weren’t for his arrogance, plus Qin Jin-nian’s shadow superpowers, which were ever-changing and far beyond the other party’s expectations, then even if Qin Jin-nian had taken the initiative, the situation would probably have been more losses than wins.

“He could tell at a glance that I got on the bus from Qinghe Lake, which means that his state on the bus at that time was completely an act. Then why was he acting?”

“And then he wandered around the city for five or six hours, changing directions dozens of times, and finally came here… What was the purpose?”

“More importantly, what was that thing like a spell that he muttered later? Why did the black mist on his head suddenly become intense, as if some weird thing was about to break out from inside?”

One mystery after another surfaced in Qin Jin-nian’s mind, causing his brows to furrow tightly, yet he couldn’t grasp any clues.

After a good while, he took a deep breath and looked at the man’s corpse again.

After pondering for a moment, Qin Jin-nian’s expression moved slightly, and the shadows under his feet emerged, transforming into several shadow hands that reached towards the youth’s corpse.

Soon, he fished out some odds and ends from his pockets.

After confirming that nothing was left behind, Qin Jin-nian’s mind moved, and he retracted the shadows, placing the man’s belongings at his feet, and activated ‘Shadow Devour’.

The shadows under the darkness spread out, covering the man’s lifeless corpse…

But after waiting for a while, there was no change.

Qin Jin-nian’s eyes suddenly flashed fiercely. The next moment, the shadow tentacles transformed into dozens of shadow swords and rushed towards the youth’s head!

The youth’s corpse didn’t change at all, and the shadow swords instantly pierced the youth’s head.

And the next moment…

“Ah!!!!”

A shrill sound that didn’t seem human echoed, and then the youth’s head suddenly exploded, and then a humanoid body, completely black, burst out of his head in the explosion.

This body was small, only the size of a fist.

Then a voice that couldn’t distinguish between male and female sounded in disbelief: “How did you know where my true body was?! This is impossible, this is impossible!!… Who are you! Who are you!!”

After that thing jumped out, it directly leaped high into the air, and could actually fly in mid-air. At the same time, it actually spoke human language.

A look of surprise flashed in Qin Jin-nian’s eyes, but his expression remained calm. The next moment, hundreds of shadow tentacles suddenly rose into the sky, rushing towards the small figure in the air at an extremely fast speed.

That small figure didn’t seem to expect Qin Jin-nian to attack even after his death, so one of the shadow swords had directly injured him. With a body the size of a fist, this sword directly injured it, and it was staggering in flight.

When it saw the hundreds of shadow tentacles rising into the sky, its expression completely changed, and disbelief flashed in its eyes.

“Shadow Power… you control Shadow Power? No, it’s impossible for humans to control Shadow Power! Who are you?! “

◈◈◈

It screamed, frantically fleeing, trying to dodge.

But firstly, it was injured by the shadow sword, and secondly, the number of shadow tentacles was too great. It had only barely flown twenty meters when it was entangled by a shadow tentacle… Its body was only the size of a fist, and this shadow tentacle directly wrapped around its waist.

“Ah!!”

It suddenly turned its head and let out a piercing scream at Qin Jin-nian.

The terrifying scream even formed a shockwave, causing Qin Jin-nian to involuntarily take two steps back, revealing a look of horror.

And the next moment, text appeared on the panel.

【You are affected by mental pollution. Under the effect of the ‘Dark Eye’ Authority, all mental pollution originating from the dark world will be exempted. You are exempt from this mental pollution. 】

After shaking his head, Qin Jin-nian looked at the air with a solemn expression…

From the dark world?

This is a… weird creature?

That strange weird creature was still screaming, and Qin Jin-nian’s panel kept refreshing.

But all the mental pollution was immune, so other than being a bit harsh, Qin Jin-nian didn’t have much expression.

He was about to directly kill this weird creature.

It suddenly screamed: “No, impossible! Why are you okay?! How much mental strength do you have? Even if you have 1000 mental strength, it’s impossible to resist my ‘Abyssal Howl’ without any reaction! You are not human, you are definitely not human! Who exactly are you?!”

This sentence, however, suddenly made Qin Jin-nian’s heart move, and he stopped his thoughts.

He had followed the Evil Youth all the way today, and finally was forced to kill him.

But why did he track the Evil Youth? Wasn’t it because he suddenly discovered his abnormality, and Qin Jin-nian also wanted to figure out some of the secrets of this world that he couldn’t access before?

Unfortunately, he was too careless, and was discovered by the other party, and finally had to kill the other party.

But it seems that… there’s suddenly another opportunity?

Qin Jin-nian’s eyes flickered.

This weird creature that could communicate was very likely a being that knew more mysterious information than the Evil Youth before.

Should he try to trick the other party… to see if he could get some useful information for himself?

Thinking of this, Qin Jin-nian’s brows finally looked at the panel in front of him and the shadows entangled on the weird creature…

…He could give it a try.

Thinking of this, the shadow tentacles changed from strangling to pulling, and in the struggle of the small weird creature, he pulled it a little closer. Qin Jin-nian looked at it with a faint gaze and said lightly: “Shadow Power, and not afraid of the ‘Abyssal Howl’… like this, you still can’t guess who I am?”

Qin Jin-nian’s faint words made this weird creature suddenly stop screaming and open its mouth, looking at Qin Jin-nian in astonishment.

And at this moment, Qin Jin-nian finally saw the true face of this thing.

This was a humanoid life form, completely black, with black skin, and complex patterns similar to patterns on it.

It had two short horns on its forehead, which were somewhat similar to the image of a ‘devil’ recorded in the Bible… but it didn’t have a tail or wings.

It had features similar to humans, but it didn’t seem to have a gender… because it wasn’t wearing clothes now, but Qin Jin-nian didn’t find any organs similar to sexual characteristics…

After looking at it for only a short while, Qin Jin-nian quietly looked at it and didn’t speak.

And that little thing stared blankly at Qin Jin-nian, slowly, it seemed to have thought of something. It was first dazed, then disbelieving, and finally, deep fear flowed from its eyes.

That fear, compared to the fear of humans facing weird creatures, was still a hundred times stronger!

“Great, Great One… Could it be that you, you are… are…”

What is it?

Qin Jin-nian’s brows furrowed, and he was about to ask.

But suddenly, an unprecedented sense of great crisis, without any warning, suddenly surged into his heart!

Qin Jin-nian was shocked, and was puzzled.

The panel in front of him suddenly went crazy!

【It’s come to this, flip it again. Thank you~】
