The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human? Chapter 283 - 277 Humans are Beasts in Themselves

Liu Zheng executed a nimble backward leap, avoiding the Fla Beast’s attack.

The massive body slamd into the ground, its excavator-like beast claws leaving two startling gouges in the hard rocky surface.

"Good grief,"

he marveled at the claw marks.

This power definitely surpassed Beethoven, and him as well, but he wondered how it would compare to San Huamao.

If it were a regular beast, such a crash would have been enough to cause internal bleeding or even dislocation.

But this Fla Beast didn’t even pause, imdiately springing up again, its dark claws slashing through the air with a piercing sound towards Liu Zheng.

"Can’t take it head-on."

Facing that tearing force, he quickly decided and leaped to the side again.

The beast’s claw missed again, the imnse force causing the entire sanctuary to tremble.

However, this ti the Fla Beast didn’t gather strength for another attack but opened its mouth instead.

Bright flas, like blood, surged from its body towards its mouth, finally forming a red fireball that shot out.

"Bang!"

The sound resembled that of a cannon firing, the fireball trailing a long tail of flas like a teor.

And the direction of the fireball’s blast was exactly where Liu Zheng had leaped to, and at this mont, he hadn’t even fully landed.

"Shit!"

Liu Zheng cursed in his mind.

The opponent had clearly anticipated his movents; such high combat intelligence, could it really be a re beast?

It was definitely too late to dodge now; he thought about it and decided to withstand the blast and see.

The broad Slaughter Knife was turned sideways, shielding Liu Zheng’s head.

And the fireball arrived in an instant, hitting directly where Liu Zheng’s face was.

The nearly thousand-degree heat instantly turned the blade of the Slaughter Knife red hot, burning his body with splashing flas, scalding his hand holding the hilt with many blisters.

But quickly, those burned areas peeled off, and new flesh grew out.

"Who doesn’t have a superpower"

Liu Zheng said smugly.

The Fla Beast paused for a mont at this sight, hesitating for a ti.

But soon, it grew agitated again.

"Monster!"

It bellowed unclearly, its body flas growing brighter and hotter, resembling a pyre.

"Hey, compared to you I’m pretty anthropomorphic, right?"

Liu Zheng retorted irritably.

At least his body shape was still human-like, and he didn’t have as much fur as the Fla Beast did.

In response to his rebuttal, the Fla Beast launched an even more ferocious claw strike.

"Damn it, if I could trigger ’Angry Fire Burning Body,’ I would fight you blade to blade and kill you,"

Liu Zheng muttered under his breath, dodging its swipe again.

Unfortunately, he really couldn’t rouse much anger against such a beast, even with "easy to anger syndro."

He learned his lesson this ti and directly dodged to the side and rear of the Fla Beast, jumping twice in succession.

However, just when it seed the beast’s claw had lost its montum, flas suddenly burst from the back of the paw, accelerating it once again.

"Damn, jet-powered blades"?

Liu Zheng was taken aback; this boss had too many small tricks.

Facing the twice-accelerated claw, he could no longer dodge and just braced himself with the Slaughter Knife.

The claw, harder than steel, collided with the Slaughter Knife, emitting a grating tallic wail.

And he was hurled backward from the imnse force, crashing heavily against a stone pillar.

Two breaking sounds occurred simultaneously as the pillar, strong enough to support the heavy ceiling, was shattered into a spiderweb of cracks.

And as the thrown object, Liu Zheng fared worse, his entire spine crushed and his organs variously damaged.

"Puh!"

He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, creating a blossom of blood on the ground.

And the Fla Beast, originally intending to pursue, stopped abruptly at the sight of the blood, retreating backwards.

"Filth blood!"

Its voice was both fearful and angry, then confused.

"No, no, this is not filth blood."

It stared at the bloodstains on the ground, muttering to itself, its voice growing clearer.

"New blood, I feel an overwhelming force of life from it, a force more potent than those other bloods."

The Fla Beast extended its claw as if to touch the bloodstains, but recoiled just before making contact.

Its massive body moved again, not to attack, but to retreat, all the way back to the chair it had been in initially.

Its body curled up, returning to the position it had been in when they first t.

"Who are you? How did you get here?"

The Fla Beast looked at Liu Zheng, its tone becoming gentle.

"My na is Liu Zheng, an external procurent officer. To fulfill a procurent task, I agreed to a deal with Alia, the Grand Patriarch of the Blood Healing Church, and entered this Dream World to hunt you."

He said concisely.

"Ah, Alia."

Upon hearing this na, a flicker of fla danced across the Fla Beast’s exterior.

"Is she still alive? That’s good."

There seed to be a note of relief in the Fla Beast’s voice.

"How is the Church doing now?"

It asked.

"I don’t know; I’ve just arrived. Anyway, Yate has entered the ’Pale Night’ again, and the Church is still the ruler of Yate."

Liu Zheng shrugged.

"How long has it been since the last Pale Night?"

"Forty years, I guess."

That was what Anke had told him.

"Forty years... it seems the Church’s research has either still stalled, or it has advanced too quickly."

The Fla Beast mused aloud.

"Speaking of which, shouldn’t you introduce yourself?"

Liu Zheng said.

"Ah, my apologies, it’s been too long since I last conversed with soone."

The Fla Beast said apologetically.

"I am Dickens, the first Grand Patriarch of the Blood Healing Church, and Alia’s ntor."

It said.

"So you hold that identity; no wonder she wanted to kill you to seal your mouth."

Liu Zheng realized.

The founder of the Church had beco beastified, which fully demonstrated that "Blood Healing" simply did not cure Beastification Disease. This was undoubtedly a significant blow to the status of the Blood Healing Church in Yate.

It might even stir a massive storm within the Blood Healing Church itself, possibly leading to its demise, just like the Church of Suffering.

"Yes, she made the right decision."

Dickens approved of Alia’s actions.

If it were in her place, it would have made the sa choice.

"Since you’re the first Grand Patriarch, was the ’Blood Healing’ Skill invented by you?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"No, I only improved it; ’Blood Healing’ was invented by the people of Tomr. Or perhaps, they also simply learned the technique of ’Blood Healing’ through so channel."

Dickens shook its massive head.

"Then you should know, the source of Beastification Disease is likely ’Blood Healing’."

He said.

"No, the source of Beastification Disease is not ’Blood Healing’."

Dickens shook his head again.

"Beastification Disease does not turn humans into beasts but turns humans back into beasts."

"Humans are inherently beasts."

While Dickens’s mouth emitted hot flas, his words carried a chilling undertone.
