Chapter 158: Overpowered Michael II

Michael remained expressionless regardless of reaching the next level. Lailah's musical notes again crushed the mutated being closer to Michael but still, it couldn't stop it from punching him in the chest. Just like before, the punch did not affect him at all.

Michael felt like he was being hit by a huge hammer yet thanks to the healing potion, he experienced no pain. Swiftly, his right hand moved, slashing the mutated being who just punched him countless times at devastating speed. The densely-packed blurs seemed to form a closely-knit net, enveloping the mutated being's body parts layer after layer.

Michael exhibited the full power of his sword mastery. In that very moment, he had thrust his sword out over a hundred times with unbelievable speed. Right now, the closely-knit net seemed to become like a meat grinder, directly shredding the mutated being into countless pieces of dried flesh.

Although the mutated beings were Core Strengthening stage warriors, they

couldn't fight with their best because of the teamwork between Michael and Lailah. Besides, they had no weapon and were unable to use the Arch Energy, since these mutated beings had no functioning brain, they did not even have the most basic awareness for dodging or resisting. All they knew was to attack outsiders with their fists, to slaughter the outsiders. In a nutshell, these were all like Netherels.

As a result, the strength of the mutated beings was far from the time they were alive, therefore he was able to slice and dice them like veggies without much trouble.

[Ding! Congrats to the host for killing a Core Strengthening stage level 7 Mutated being. The reward is 90,000 experience points]

Finishing off the mutated being, Michael immediately used the Lightning dash, disappearing instantly.

Just when Michael disappeared, two fists brutally spaced into the empty space he was before. The power created a sonic boom.

Plop!

Suddenly, a visible note clashed with the mutated being behind Michael, easily severing the limbs. Again, Michael sliced the body before wind blasting the pieces far away, so the pieces won't reform quickly in front of him. Unexpectedly, more mutated beats appeared out of nowhere, surrounding them. Michael already felt the effects of the healing potion fading away little by little.

[Congratulations to the host for leveling up. The current level is Body Strengthening stage Level 7!]

On the other side, while Michael was fighting the remaining mutated beings, Lailah fought the four newly arrived human Core Strengthening stage mutated beings. She carried her veena in her left hand while her left hand constantly danced about on top of it. Sound waves collided with the four Core Strengthening stage warriors one after another. Every sound wave would create a great hole as they hit them and the knockback was so powerful that the four struggled to advance forwards.

Although Lailah took a different path of cultivation, her strength clearly was much greater than anyone in the same stage as her. The special soundwave attacks carried a great strength, able to stop the advance of four Core Strengthening stage mutated beings without much difficulty at all. It was even enough to make the four of them retreat, unable to approach Lailah no matter what.

Lailah played five of the seven strings with a rhythm. Each soundwave shot out from Angel's Veena as her fingers moved, and whenever a soundwave would collide with one of the four core Strengthening stage beings, it would leave behind some energy of the veena in the air. Slowly, the residue energy accumulated and became denser and denser, and when it reached a certain level, Lailah also stopped playing. She looked towards Michael and called out, "Retreat quickly!"

Hearing it, Michael did not hesitate at all. He immediately finished off his last mutated being before turning into a chain of blurry figures and retreating to Lailah 's side.

Lailah 's finger slowly fell on the sixth string, which caused it to fluctuate gently.

The sixth veena string produced a clear sound. It began to tremble heavily, and shortly afterward, the veena energy that had accumulated in the air suddenly became extremely violent. With a boom, the veena energy immediately exploded, where the violent ripples directly ripped the seven Saint Ruler mutated beings to shreds.

Roar! Roar! Roar…

The commotion of battle here had alerted the experts far away. Immediately, dozens of beast-like roars resounded from far away in all directions. The roars flooded the sky, essentially resounding throughout the entire Treacherous Ocean in the pitch-black sky. Immediately, a dozen or so presences radiated over from different directions, and even further away, an even more powerful presence faintly appeared, including Soul Refining stage mutated beings.

"Leave here quickly," Lailah said hoarsely. She could already feel the appearance of a terrifying presence, something that would even be able to cause her fear. It was a Fusion stage living corpse.

Michael also looked grim. Although his Environmental scanning was suppressed in The Treacherous Ocean, he was still able to clearly feel the presence of more and more terrifying mutated beasts. He had also discovered that at least several dozen Core Strengthening and Soul Refining stage warriors were currently flanking them from all directions. Once they were trapped, the outcome would be virtually disastrous. It could even attract even more experts.

Michael and Lailah fled at top speed, fleeing into the distance as fast as they could. However, before they could get any further, the seven Core Strengthening stage warriors ripped into smithereens by the soundwaves had reformed. He was damn stunned to see the seven of them again, not because he expected them to stay dead but according to his calculations, they shouldn't be here this soon as he blasted the pieces away in all directions and it should have taken some time to reform and reach the battle sight.

They all roared at the two of them, who had yet to flee far.

A sliver of cold light flashed across Lailah 's eyes. She immediately placed the Angel's Veena before her, beginning to play it.

However, with a flash from beside her, Michael had already charged at the seven Core Strengthening stage warriors using the Lightning Dash as he carried the two swords. He called out, "40 seconds" he counted the remaining time before shouting at Lailah "Let's go!"

Lailah looked around the surroundings. She could feel that the experts rushing over from all directions were getting closer and closer. She said with a deep voice, "It's extremely difficult for both of us to throw them off in an extremely short amount of time with our strength. Once the mutated beings arrive and surround us"

Michael slashed his swords a dozen times instantly, dicing one of the Core Strengthening stage warriors with a mere face-off. He cried out, "we don't have time for this. I know you can also sense the terrifying presence approaching us, let's go, we are running out of time!"

His voice was heard by Lailah clearly. For a moment, Lailah 's gaze became complicated. She stood there in hesitation and did not leave immediately. Although she had reached the Fusion stage at a young age, he could tell she had not much battle experience as she lacked the quick responses of Michael.

[The system urges the host to buy a special teleportation scroll for 10,000 badass points!]

"Do it!" He screamed in his mind and then he heard the system again,

[Only the host is allowed to teleport using the scroll] for a second, the system sounded like it was screaming with regret and anger.

"Fuck!" he cursed inside, turning his gaze at Laila before another mutated being could come closer,

"I'll hold them off, you get out of here!" he came in front of her shielding her from the mutated beings' attacks while she was standing there, slightly traumatized.

"I can take these attacks for another 30 seconds, I'll keep them busy while you fly away from here"

She had never thought that in the dog-eat-dog world where it was filled with malevolent people, there would actually be someone so stupid that they would take an almost fatal risk to block several dozens of powerful entities, just to earn some precious time for a stranger that they had only met several days ago to escape.

In a situation where death was virtually guaranteed, even brothers related by blood could betray each other, let alone a stranger. However, she had no idea that she's totally wrong, he was not being a white knight in shining armor but he didn't want her to think that he abandoned her, after all, he still needs her help to get what he wants. Besides, he couldn't let her see him use a teleportation scroll as she mentioned to him that no scrolls would work here, and if she sees him using one, it would definitely lead to some unpleasant questions.

On the other hand, Michael's actions immediately caused a great change to Lailah 's gaze towards him. She stood there as the light flickered through her eyes uneasily. She did not know whether she should abandon Michael to flee for herself or to stay behind and fight with him. Although she had little chance of getting the Demon Dragon's heart at the center of the island without the death-kissed dragon of his, she could still survive on the outskirts before leaving the island.

Currently, the great presences from all directions were getting closer and closer. Seeing how Lailah still did not leave, Michael could not help but become mad. He called out, "What're you staying here for!?"

"What will you do? You won't survive"

"I have no time to explain, leave!"

Lailah looked at Michael who was currently battling the several Core Strengthening stage mutated beings while counting the seconds in his mind. In the end, she gritted her teeth and made her decision, turning around and leaving. She disappeared into the darkness in the blink of an eye.

Even though her abilities with the veena were extraordinary, she lacked the battle experience and the heart of steel like Michael. Once she was surrounded, she knew that it would be much more dangerous for her than Michael who certainly had a way to deal with them and escape.
