Chapter 212: Pursuit!

Chapter 212: Pursuit!

Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu

"D*mned humans! Just wait till I recover from my injuries and break through to Grade 7! I will definitely slaughter ten towns in a row!"

The Cerberus raised its head to the skies and roared angrily. A look of absolute, venomous hate shone in its eyes. From the time it was birthed till now, it had never suffered such a great injury before.

'Detestable scum... now that I've lost two heads and two Inner Cores, the distance to breaking through to a Grade 7 Demonic Beast had been extended again. At the very least, I will not be able to do it within the next ten years! If I don't tear that haughty human into a million pieces, I will never resolve this hatred in my heart!'

Copious amounts of blood flowed from the mouth of the Cerberus as it dug a deep ditch in the ground.

'This won't do. It's too obvious; that detestable human will definitely be able to find me!'

The Cerberus growled as it spat out a jet black mist. In the blink of an eye, its body shrunk rapidly. Naturally, this act induced a greater amount of hurt onto its body.

Seeing the mess it'd created, the Cerberus thought for a moment and shot off in another direction, allowing its blood to flow freely.

"Hmph!"

About seven, eight minutes later, Morpheus arrived at the same spot. He looked towards a certain direction and snorted coldly. Without any pause, he continued directly towards Mt Zhen Huan, not bothering about the trail of blood leading in another direction.

'This should be about it.'

The Cerberus stopped its footsteps. Normally, rushing along at sonic speed was not much of a problem for it, but now that it was suffering from a bunch of serious injuries, forcefully traveling at such a speed placed too much strain on its body.

The countless tiny lacerations on its body were the price for fleeing at such a speed. At the same time, the bountiful blood and Qi in its body had been depleted by at least a seventh.

The mighty Cerberus no longer carried its air of superiority and dominance. Instead, it looked extremely wretched, like a starved dog drenched in rain.

Another beam of black mist was spat out of its mouth, wrapping around its body. As the mist dissipated, the Cerberus appeared even more listless. However, its injuries had completely disappeared, as if they had never been there at all.

"Everything should be fine now," the Cerberus mumbled as it looked around. After that, it determined its location and plodded towards Mt Zhen Huan. That place was its nest, and also where it had stowed large amounts of natural treasures. Originally, it had intended to use those natural treasures for its advancement. However, it could only use them to treat its injuries now.

After about half an hour, the silhouette of Mt Zhen Huan could finally be seen in the distance. The mountain peaks were exceedingly tall and from a distance, it was impossible to tell the difference between the mountain and the clouds.

"Hou!"

The Cerberus finally relaxed and let out a long roar of relief, sending countless birds and beasts fleeing in terror!

"Kill!"

An icy voice suddenly rang out as Morpheus shot over from the cover of the woods. A dazzling sword danced in his hands, its blade incomparably sharp!

A huge ripple appeared as he slashed forth, masking the humanoid figure behind it. Only the sword remained, merging with the powerful sword ripple as it slashed towards the Cerberus!

As soon as the sword manifestation appeared, a crushing pressure descended on the entire area, locking the Cerberus in place for a brief moment!

In a fight between experts, a moment of pause was equivalent to a deathly opening! The Cerberus struggled violently at the very last moment, shedding the pressure off itself. In that moment, it managed to shift its body as the over 30-meter-long sword shadow descended from the sky, slashing onto the Cerberus's back!

"Clang!"

The sturdy body of the Cerberus which was three times stronger than other beasts' did not offer up any resistance at all. The sword sliced through the Cerberus's body as though it were slicing through beancurd. In a single smooth strike, it'd cleft through the creature's back!

The Cerberus howled in pain and once again burst into sonic speed, escaping far away into the distance.

"I shall see how much longer you can last!"

Morpheus flew over and collected the lower part of the Cerberus's body. After that, he did not hesitate to chase after it. He burst off with a speed faster than sound and disappeared, leaving a violent wind behind him which tore through the field and formed a streak of desolation in his wake!

'That beast does not have the strength to resist me anymore. Now that I've chopped off its hind part and it's suffered such a huge injury, it might not head towards Mt Zhen Huan anymore. If I do not eliminate it today, it will surely become a plague of the Kingdom in the future!'

Morpheus ruminated silently as he flew in pursuit. Thinking thus, he did not hesitate to press down on an area near his heart. In an instant, his speed skyrocketed as he flew forward with two times the speed of sound!

This kind of speed was not a small burden even for Morpheus. It could only be achieved using a secret technique, and could not be sustained for long.

Countless lacerations appeared on Morpheus's body, causing him to look like a porcelain doll riddled with cracks. Anyone who saw him now would wonder if he would disintegrate into dust at any moment.

"Divine Foot Technique!"

Morpheus caught up to the fleeing Cerberus in an instant. Numerous golden rays appeared under his feet and, at the same time, a huge foot over ten meters long appeared above the Cerberus, stepping down heavily!

"Boom!"

Smoke and dust rose into the air, and debris shot in all directions as a huge footprint appeared in the woods!

The huge footprint was imprinted deep in the ground, and even the patterns on its soles could be seen clearly.

The upper portion of the Cerberus's body was right in the middle of the pit, and large amounts of blood spilled continuously from its mouth.

"Evil Beast! Where shall you escape to now?!"

Morpheus descended from the sky, his chest heaving heavily with exhaustion. His body was covered with long bloody scars which opened and closed as he breathed. At a first glance, he appeared extremely ghastly.

It was obvious that Morpheus's condition was not much better. But, as compared to the wretched-looking Cerberus which only had half a body remaining, he was without a doubt in superior form.

Seeing the Cerberus coughing out blood continuously in the pit, a look of greed flashed through Morpheus's eyes. Every part of this Grade 6 Demonic Beast was a treasure. Of course, the most valuable part was its Demonic Core.

Still, he did not allow greed to blind his eyes. Raising his sword again, he slashed towards the Cerberus's head without any hesitation!

"Plop!"

Without any resistance, the Cerberus's last head flew high into the sky before falling lightly onto the ground. Its eyes were still open wide with disbelief, as if it couldn't die in peace!

Only when he saw the head rolling on the ground did Morpheus finally let his guard down. He went forward and collected the upper half of the Cerberus's body into his spatial ring.

Only when that was done did he walk over and pick up the dog's head.

'A beast is still a beast in the end. The reason why humans are superior is because we know how to use all the resources available to us.'

After collecting the last head, he felt much better about the loss of his Demonic Beast Hunting Team.

The three Inner Cores could each fetch an extraordinary price. If refined together with complementary treasures, it would definitely be able to elevate his strength to the next stage!

At that time, it would be a simple matter to establish another Demonic Beast Hunting Team. Furthermore, the new team would be even stronger!

Thinking of this, Morpheus could not contain a small smile from creeping onto his lips.

But at this moment, the last Cerberus's head which he'd assumed to be dead suddenly opened its mouth. Along with that, a self-destructive force emanated from the Inner Core in its mouth!

The Inner Core began to crack as numerous fissures appeared along its surface, turning into fine powder. Following that, the shattered Inner Core reformed into countless tiny projectiles which shot towards Morpheus's forehead!

"No!"

Morpheus had not expected that the Cerberus which had been reduced to just a single head could still explode forth with such a shocking last-ditch attack!
