Chapter 776: Triggering the Active Defense Mechanism

As the old man walked into the rest area, it was as if the little girl was triggered. “Annoying, stay away from me!”

Boom!

The air in the factory stirred with the force that had sent Luke and the others flying hundreds of meters.

The old man still had a smile on his face as he walked closer. “What a powerful talent. You’re very suitable to be my envoy.”

The little girl was stunned, as if she hadn’t expected her attack to be ineffective.

She promptly increased her power, and some of the debris in the factory suddenly flew up and lunged at the old man.

The old man continued walking forward slowly. “It’s useless. You can’t hurt me in your state.”

As he approached, the little girl became even more twitchy and angry.

Unfortunately, the force which she had used to send Luke flying was useless against the old man.

Even when she used this force to throw other things at the old man, the junk would automatically fall to the ground in front of him, and didn’t pose a threat at all.

Luke finally moved.

Although this old man was very strange, it was impossible for Luke to turn around and leave.

In a flash of movement, he arrived at the edge of the girl’s “private room.”

Facing the old man in black, he stood between the old man and the girl. “Didn’t you hear her? Stay away from her!”

The old man’s smile grew even more distinct, and there was a strange feeling about it. “I heard. So what?” As he spoke, he suddenly turned into black smoke and disappeared.

Luke turned around and saw a cloud of black smoke coalesce into the old man in front of the girl.

He frowned. Magic? Superpower? Technology? Real or an illusion?

This black-robed old man was indeed unusual.

Or, were he and the little girl similar?

The moment the old man appeared in front of the girl, he touched her forehead with his right index finger. “Do you have a wish you want fulfilled? Tell me.”

Fear and pain filled the little girl’s face. “It… It hurts! Mom, Mom, save me!”

The old man smiled. “You want to be with your mother, right? Come, sign this contract, and you can fulfill your wish.”

A scroll-like object suddenly appeared in his left hand, and he handed it to the little girl.

Although the little girl was in pain, she couldn’t help but raise her hand to take the scroll.

Luke moved again.

He had been observing everything about the old man in black just now, hoping to uncover more clues so that he could kill him in one blow or heavily injure him.

But after the old man took out the scroll to give to the little girl, he knew that he couldn’t delay any longer.

Somehow, he knew that he absolutely couldn’t let the little girl touch the scroll.

“Soldiers, form ranks!” he shouted, and his body suddenly glowed with a faint yellow light as he charged at the old man.

The old man didn’t even look at him. He simply smiled as he watched the little girl reach for the scroll.

Pu!

The old man was stunned.

Looking at the fist that had passed through his chest and half of the scroll that was left in his left hand, he finally turned around, his eyes burning with fury. “You dare damage my contract?”

“Big Dipper Devil-Subduing Fist!” Luke roared even louder than he did, drowning out his words.

His fists turned into yellow light rings that hit the old man’s body ferociously.

The old man’s face changed slightly. He turned into black smoke again and disappeared from Luke’s attack range.

Luke stopped and held his fists up in front of him again, his gaze on the corner behind the girl.

The old man materialized again, but this time, he wasn’t as cocky as before.

His face was ashen as he roared, “You are a Kamar-Taj sorcerer? No, you don’t have a Sling Ring! Are you from the Holy Land of Kunlun?”

Luke sneered and didn’t answer the question. “Get lost if you don’t want to die!”

The old man’s face changed. “Even if the Ancient One and Thor show up, I’m not afraid!”

Luke didn’t waste any more time. In a flash, he appeared in front of the old man and punched him again.

The old man dissipated into black smoke again, but Luke immediately flipped and punched the old man from behind.

“Ah!” The old man floated back more than ten meters away. Looking at the hole in his chest, he felt a strange energy consuming his strength non-stop, and his defensive spells were useless against it.

“I’m going to rip out your soul!” He finally made up his mind to get rid of this weird troublemaker, even if he had to piece his body back together after this.

The best would be if he could turn this ridiculously strong person into his subordinate as well. All his losses would then be worth it.

He turned into smoke again and disappeared.

Frowning, Luke spun around and hit the old man, who had just materialized again, hard.

Although the old man looked pained, he didn’t dodge at all this time. His hands turned into black smoke which stuck to Luke’s body.

“Let me see what your soul looks like!” The old man grinned hideously.

Luke’s fists glowed yellow again. “Big Dipper Explosive Fist!”

The old man’s body didn’t stop warping and crumbling as it was torn into black smoke by countless fist shadows, but he actually smiled. “Ah, so you’ve already signed a contract. Let me see who your master is…”

At that moment, Luke’s lips twitched as he looked at the sudden system warning.

Just now, when the old man’s hands turned into black smoke and touched his body, he had sensed something wasn’t right.

The old man had touched him despite the risk of getting hurt. Also, even though the little girl was in a semi-transparent state, he still had to protect her.

It was too late for him to dodge, so he could only prepare his trump cards.

But the moment the black smoke touched him, Daddy System suddenly sent out a warning.

System: Unknown evil energy detected trying to link with the host. Active defense mechanism has been activated. Active defense mechanism requires credit points. Please choose the amount of credit points to consume: 5_ _ _ _.

That was right, the system had issued a warning this time, not just a reminder.

Looking at the name “active defense mechanism,” Luke knew that this was a dangerous situation.

The system, which had shut down for ten thousand years and never took the initiative to speak no matter what, was now taking the initiative to defend itself, which maxed out Luke’s sense of crisis.

Sure enough, this old man in black was a big problem! Luke would even go so far as to say that this old man was a top boss who had surpassed several levels.

Looking at the four spaces which followed the number ‘5,’ Luke of course knew what Daddy System meant.

It was clearly asking for at least 50,000 credit points to activate the defense mechanism.

Without any hesitation, Luke filled in the empty slots with a thought — 59,500.
