Chapter 975 - 89: Horror Demon (Part 2)

"It’s a Horror Demon!"

Beelu exclaimed in his mind.

As a spokesperson for the Star Alliance, he had naturally read the Alien Species Manual and was very familiar with each monster listed in it.

The reason he only confirmed its identity now was because the detailed data about it was still unknown, and even in the Alien Species Manual, there’s only a partial introduction about it.

Alien Species Name: Horror Demon

Type: Demon Series

Energy Level: Unknown (preliminarily judged to be around Third-level)

Body Features: The head has only a large mouth, two eyes resembling stalks, and the upper body is strong and bloated.

Detailed Abilities: Unknown

Action Method: Unknown

Weakness: Holy Water

...

In an instant, Beelu recalled the introduction about the Horror Demon in the Alien Species Manual, but the result was indeed a series of unknowns.

In fact, this was something unavoidable, as the information was added by Star Lord Zhang Xiaoman himself.

Back then, he only had a brief encounter with this kind of monster.

At that time, Zhang Xiaoman was still very weak and encountered this monster in a small forest in the northern suburb of Qionghua City.

Fortunately, the Horror Demon at that time could not fully emerge from the Dimension Rift, allowing him to close the passage first.

And due to space cutting, he even left one of the opponent’s arms behind.

After absorbing the arm, Zhang Xiaoman surprisingly found that he actually gained more than ten points.

This is also why the Alien Species Manual preliminarily judged the opponent to be a third-level Alien Species.

"Third-level, huh..."

Thinking of the opponent’s level, Beelu couldn’t help but feel a bit anxious in his heart.

Even though he was no longer the same as before, against a third-level Alien Species, he still lacked confidence.

"Gurgle gurgle... roar!"

At this moment, the Horror Demon, which had been inactive, suddenly made a move.

It directly launched an attack toward Beelu, its massive body rushing over like an out-of-control truck with unstoppable force.

"Captain! Watch out!"

A team member shouted out from behind.

Beelu was already prepared and reacted the moment the opponent moved, using techniques he recently learned at the Hurricane Bureau to dodge and counterattack.

A large and a small figure crossed paths in an instant.

The longsword in Beelu’s hand sliced against the Horror Demon’s body, sparking a series of sparks.

"No, I still can’t break the defense!"

Seeing this, Beelu felt immense anxiety in his heart.

The longsword in his hand was already the most advanced cold weapon that current human technology could create.

If this still couldn’t break the defense, then perhaps only the Mystic Weapons used by Awakeners could.

"No, maybe I have another way!"

Beelu suddenly reached into his waist with his right hand and took out a strangely shaped dagger.

However, rather than calling it a dagger, it was more like a forty-centimeter-long tusk.

This tusk was given to him by Lune, taken from the mouth of that terrifying Mutant Wolf that was blown up at the gas station months ago.

Back then, after that guy was blown to death, most of its body tissue had been destroyed.

However, the sharp teeth remained undamaged and were all preserved.

This showed that the teeth of this Mutant Beast were extraordinarily strong.

After returning to the Hurricane Bureau, Lune conducted tests.

The tusk dagger did not disappoint, easily piercing through steel plates.

Although it couldn’t cut through iron as if it were mud, it was definitely not something current technology could produce.

"Roar!"

Although the Horror Demon’s body appeared bloated and ridiculous, its speed was not slow at all.

After missing its attack, it immediately turned its body, swinging its large hand toward Beelu again.

In the nick of time, Beelu managed to narrowly avoid the opponent’s frontal attack, but his arm was still grazed, and he was instantly flung several meters away.

Just a graze had such an effect, illustrating the terrifying power of the Horror Demon’s blow.

Of course, this was Beelu, a Transcendent; if it had been an ordinary human, they would have already faced severe injury or death.

"Its attack speed is fast, but its movement speed is limited. Maybe I can use this to restrict it..."

Beelu kept himself calm and began analyzing the opponent’s weakness.

But just during this brief moment of thought, the monster had already charged at him again.

"Clang!"

The sound of metal hitting resounded as he hurled his Alloy Giant Sword, hitting the Horror Demon’s chest.

Since this weapon couldn’t break the defense, carrying it was just a burden; it was better to get rid of it.

The giant sword’s attack obviously didn’t inflict any damage, but it slightly disrupted the monster’s movements.

Catching this opportunity, Beelu closed in.

With a flexible movement, his body twisted like a viper to the Horror Demon’s back, thrusting the Tusk Dagger to its head.

"Pshhh~"

The sound of blade piercing flesh was heard.

For the first time, this monster with terrifying defensive power was finally pierced.

"Roar!!"

The Horror Demon let out a deafening roar of rage, but it didn’t collapse.

The special constitution of the Demon Series monsters made such attacks, which would be deadly to humans, seem negligible.

Beelu clearly understood this, so after landing the hit, he retreated immediately to avoid a counterattack.

However, while leaving, he took something along; it was the biggest achievement from his attack this time—the monster’s two eye stalks.

From the beginning, his target had been the opponent’s eyes.

As long as this creature turned blind, no matter how formidable it was, its strength would be greatly reduced.

At the very least, it should no longer use the energy ray attack like before.

However, reality proved Beelu’s conjecture not entirely correct; it was only half right.

Although the Horror Demon lost its eyes and couldn’t use the Dark Energy Beam for ranged attacks, its actions seemed completely unaffected, accurately locating his position.

"Boom!"

A wall was smashed and scattered on the ground, revealing the people inside who were already terrified out of their minds.

"Damn it! Isn’t this guy already blind!? How is it still able to see me!?"

Beelu dodged to the side in a sorry state, barely avoiding the forceful punch.

"Shoo shoo~"

At this moment, the Horror Demon suddenly stopped its pursuit.

Its head, missing its eyes, probed forward, and its tongue licked its lips, as if discovering new prey.

"No, stay away...!!"

Inside the house, several survivors screamed in terror.

Stimulated by this, the monster abruptly grew excited, and it walked straight toward the person who screamed earlier.

"Not good!"

Beelu rushed forward, thrusting the Tusk Dagger for a sneak attack from behind.

But who could have thought that the creature, as if having eyes on its back, suddenly turned to block the attack, entangling with Beelu immediately.

Several members of the Hurricane Team took the opportunity to sneak over and evacuate the survivors one by one.

Beelu himself was in a dangerous situation, continuously relying on his strong reactions and skilled movement techniques to narrowly escape.

If he misstepped once, he would fall into irreversible disaster.

Although the Tusk Dagger in his hand could break the creature’s defense, the Horror Demon, after all, was a third-tier Demon Species, possessing an unusually strong Undying Ability.

Not to mention these not-hurting scratches; even if its head was chopped off, it might not lose its combat power.

The disadvantage of a dagger as a weapon was evident at this moment.

Relatively speaking, the larger the monster’s size, the less the dagger’s power could be exerted.

"Boom boom boom boom!"

The enormous three-meter-high creature was frantically attacking, each punch capable of smashing down a wall, leaving Beelu with no choice but to dodge continuously, buying time.

"This can’t go on... I need to think of a solution!"

His brain began working rapidly, gathering all the available information.

The scenes observed earlier flashed through Beelu’s mind, combined with the name of this monster before him, giving him the feeling he might have grasped something.
