Chapter 156 Violent Dismantling of the War Beast! The Dean Appears!
Gravel flew everywhere.
The abomination's massive body slammed heavily onto the ground, causing the entire underground hall to shake violently twice, and dust fell from the ceiling.
Jiang Ming gave the monster no chance to breathe.
He gripped the black iron chains tightly with both hands, pushed off with his feet, and using the tension of the taut chains, he flew like a cannonball, leaping more than ten meters and landing steadily on the broad back of the abomination.
"die!"
Jiang Ming gripped the [Hellfire and Thunder Prison] sword with both hands in reverse, the tip pointing downwards, and plunged it fiercely into the thick nape of the Abomination's neck.
"clang!"
A piercing metallic clang rang out.
After the blade sliced through the surface of the scarlet muscle, it got stuck inside.
The monster's cervical vertebrae are all made of specially modified alloy steel.
Hatred has no pain whatsoever.
Struck by a heavy blow, it didn't even let out a roar. Its left arm, which carried the metal cannon barrel, flipped backward at an angle that was extremely contrary to the structure of human joints, turning 180 degrees. The dark muzzle was directly aimed at Jiang Ming, who was riding on its back.
"Sizzle—"
A thick, green plague gas erupted instantly.
Jiang Ming reacted extremely quickly, drawing his greatsword the instant the cannon barrel bent. He then kicked off the back of the Abomination with both legs, sending himself flying backward.
The poisonous gas exploded where he had just been standing, sizzling as it corroded his own back, which he loathed, and yellowish-green pus flowed all over the ground.
But the monster seemed completely unconcerned about the damage it was sustaining.
"Brother Jiang! We can't break through!"
Chen Qi hid behind an iron table in the distance, the barrel of his rifle burning hot from firing.
A series of armor-piercing bullets struck the bulletproof glass shield on the Abomination's chest, leaving only a few tiny white spots, without even creating a crack.
"Don't waste your bullets!"
After landing, Jiang Ming rolled several times to dodge the giant chainsaw that the Abomination was sweeping across.
He stared at the thick bulletproof glass.
The human brain, submerged inside, was throbbing violently in the nutrient solution, covered with various electrodes and catheters.
It was obvious that this was the absolute core of the war behemoth.
Once the brain is smashed open, this stitched-up pile of rotten flesh will be completely reduced to scrap metal.
But the problem is, how do you break through that glass?
The level 29 boss monster's defense mechanism is such that even with Jiang Ming's 37 points of strength, he couldn't break it in a short time by brute force alone.
If he pauses for even a second, the wildly spinning two-meter chainsaw can cut him in half.
"Boss! Use the corrosive liquid that just exploded!"
The goblin Marlowe, who had been huddled in the corner, suddenly poked his head out and shouted at the top of his lungs, "That thing can melt even the armor of a goblin tank, let alone glass!"
Jiang Ming's eyes lit up.
Yeah, when we killed that Flesh Harvester, it dropped three bottles of [Ultimate Corrosive Liquid].
"Chen Qi, suppress its left-hand cannon with firepower! Don't let it spew poison!" Jiang Ming shouted.
"clear!"
Chen Qi immediately switched to the last magazine, peeked out from behind the cover, and fired wildly at the metal joint of Abomination's left arm.
The bullet hit the gears in the joint, and although it did not cause any substantial damage, it successfully interfered with the aiming angle of the cannon barrel.
Annoyed by Chen Qi, the creature suddenly turned its massive body and charged towards him.
"Your opponent is me."
Jiang Ming snorted coldly, and with a flick of his left hand, a glass bottle filled with murky liquid appeared in his palm.
Without the slightest hesitation, he charged towards the source of his hatred.
The distance was reduced to five meters.
With a violent roar, the giant chainsaw on the Abomination's right arm cleaved down towards Jiang Ming's head.
If that blow lands squarely, even the heaviest armor will be destroyed.
Jiang Ming suddenly braked, his body sliding to the left at an extremely tricky angle, while simultaneously using his right leg to propel himself along the ground, narrowly avoiding the chainsaw's frontal cut.
"Buzz—"
The chainsaw grazed Jiang Ming's right shoulder and slashed at the ground, instantly cutting a deep trench more than two meters long into the hard stone slab. The broken stones hit Jiang Ming's breastplate with a crackling sound.
It's now!
Using the momentum of his gliding motion, Jiang Ming was already close to the chest of the man he hated.
He swung his left hand sharply, using the bottle of [Highly Effective Corrosive Liquid] as a projectile, and smashed it hard against the bulletproof glass shield in Abomination's chest cavity.
"Snapped!"
The bottle shattered.
The highly concentrated corrosive liquid instantly covered the entire glass dome.
"Sizzle—"
A piercing corrosive sound suddenly rang out, accompanied by a large amount of acrid white smoke.
The high-strength bulletproof glass that couldn't even be penetrated by armor-piercing bullets turned yellow, softened, and dissolved at a visible speed the moment it came into contact with the corrosive liquid, just like butter under the scorching sun.
In less than two seconds, a fist-sized hole was burned into the very center of the glass dome.
The nutrient solution inside was gushing out through the hole.
The brain, which had been submerged inside, was exposed to the air and seemed to sense a deadly threat, its heartbeat suddenly spiked.
"roar!"
The hatred let out an extremely frenzied roar.
It finally realized the danger and immediately abandoned its attack on Chen Qi. The chainsaw on its right arm lashed out horizontally, attempting to force Jiang Ming back.
The distance is too close; there is nowhere to retreat.
Jiang Ming gritted his teeth, ignoring the chainsaw sweeping towards him, and gripped the hilt of the [Fire and Thunder Prison] sword tightly with both hands.
"Overload!"
The crystal core at the hilt burst forth with a blinding red light, and violent lightning and fire sword energy instantly enveloped the sword.
"Smash it!"
Jiang Ming roared, pushed the greatsword with both hands, and stabbed it hard into the corroded hole.
"Pfft!"
The two-meter-long giant sword pierced through the beating brain without any resistance.
At the same time, the hateful chainsaw slashed viciously into Jiang Ming's left side waist.
"Click click click—"
The chainsaw was frantically cutting through the Crimson Knight Heavy Breastplate.
The dark gold runes flickered wildly, and the counter-damage field was on the verge of collapse under the enormous kinetic energy.
Jiang Ming felt a sharp pain in his lower back, and the force of the impact made his throat taste sweet, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.
But he held on tightly to the hilt of the sword, refusing to retreat an inch.
"burst!"
The violent power of lightning and fire surged along the blade and exploded inside the Abomination's chest.
"Boom—"
A muffled explosion resounded within the abomination's body.
The brain on the sword tip was instantly charred into a lump of charcoal, and the electrodes and catheters connected to it all exploded.
The abhorrent, enormous body suddenly froze.
The wildly spinning chainsaw emitted a mournful, jammed sound and came to a complete stop.
Immediately afterwards, the Lv.29 boss-level monster seemed to have all its strength drained away, collapsing like a mountain collapsing and a jade pillar falling, crashing heavily into the glass shards and corrosive liquid scattered on the ground, and then fell silent.
[Defeated a Stitched Abomination War Beast (Lv.29, Boss-level) beyond its level, gaining 50000 experience points.]
Current level: Lv.16. Experience progress: 11000/120000.
[Gained 2 free attribute points.]
A system notification sound popped up on my retina.

Jiang Ming drew his greatsword, leaned on the ground, and gasped for breath.
He glanced down at his left side.
The blue, rare-grade heavy breastplate was ripped open with a gash several centimeters long by a chainsaw.
Although no internal organs were damaged, the flesh had been torn apart by the serrations, and blood was dripping down the armor.
"Brother Jiang! Are you alright?"
Chen Qi ran over with a gun in his hand, his face turning pale as he looked at the wound on Jiang Ming's waist.
"He won't die."
Jiang Ming took out a bottle of low-level healing potion from his storage card, uncorked it, and drank it down.
The cool liquid flowed down his throat, and the wound on his waist began to slowly stop bleeding and scab over.
Without hesitation, he added all 2 points of free attribute he had just gained from the upgrade to Strength.
[Strength: 39.]
With his strength about to break through the 40 mark, Jiang Ming felt that most of the physical strength he had lost due to injury had instantly recovered.
"Boss is awesome! Boss is invincible!"
Marlowe crawled out from under the table and ran to the corpse of the abomination.
The goblin completely ignored the poisonous gas and corrosive liquid covering the ground, and began rummaging through the pile of rotting flesh for spoils with shining eyes.
"I'm rich! I'm rich! These are parts from a level 29 boss monster!"
Marlowe exerted tremendous effort to remove the two-meter-long giant chainsaw from Abomination's right arm and then pulled a red-glowing mechanical core from his chest cavity.
[Rampaging Chainsaw (Blue - Rare)]
[Power Core of the War Beast (Purple Epic Material)]
[Contaminated, deformed glands *2]
Jiang Ming walked over and scanned all these items into his storage card.
These high-grade materials are absolute hard currency, whether used for crafting or brought back to Blacklight Outpost for trade.
"Clean up the battlefield, prepare to retreat."
Jiang Ming looked around. The underground laboratory had been reduced to ruins, with green nutrient solution and deformed limbs scattered all over the ground.
The mission objective is to survive for 72 hours or kill the Dean.
Now that they've made such a commotion, and that mad dean hasn't even shown his face, Jiang Ming feels a little uneasy.
Just as the three were preparing to return the way they came.
Deep inside the laboratory, the iron door to the control room, which had been tightly closed, suddenly made a soft "click" sound.
The door opened by itself.
The door to the control room was only slightly ajar.
There were no lights inside; it was pitch black, with only a few indicator lights from the instruments flickering faintly in the darkness.
Jiang Ming stopped and gripped the [Hellfire and Thunder Prison] tightly in his hand.
Chen Qi immediately raised his gun and aimed it at the crack in the door. His Adam's apple bobbed, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead.
They had already pushed that abomination to its limit. If another monster of level 30 or higher were to emerge from inside, they might really be doomed today.
"Clatter".
"Clatter".
A series of extremely slow, dragging footsteps came from the darkness.
It didn't sound like a heavy monster, but rather like an old man dragging his sick body along.
Accompanied by footsteps, a withered, hoarse voice, yet imbued with a morbid fanaticism, echoed through the empty laboratory.
"Wonderful... Absolutely wonderful!"
The iron gate was pushed open completely.
A figure dressed in a tattered clergyman's robe slowly walked into the light of the hall.
He looked like a gaunt old man.
His hair was sparse, his eyes were sunken, and his skin had a pale white color, as if it hadn't seen the sun for a long time.
In his right hand he rested a scepter inlaid with rubies, the top of which was engraved with the emblem of the goddess of light.
But strangely enough...
The old man had more than a dozen eyes of different sizes sewn onto his neck.
Those eyes darted wildly around in their sockets, surveying the surroundings from every angle.
His left arm was entirely a tentacle woven from wriggling flesh and blood vessels.
[Augustus, Abbot of the Crimson Monastery (Lv.30, Lord-level)]
[Danger Level: Extremely Lethal]
[Characteristics: Ascension of flesh and blood, mental corruption, immortality.]
Jiang Ming's pupils suddenly contracted.
Lord-level!
This was the first time he had encountered a lord-level monster head-on since he transmigrated.
The glaring words "Extremely Deadly" on the panel were enough to illustrate the terror of this old monster.
"You have ruined my most perfect work."
Augustus stopped in his tracks, and the dozen or so eyes on his neck simultaneously fixed on Jiang Ming.
He showed no anger; instead, he gently stroked his cheek with his tentacle-like left arm, his eyes gleaming with a chilling greed.
"But it doesn't matter... Your body is a million times more perfect than that pile of scrap metal."
The old man's withered lips split open, revealing a mouthful of sharp, fine teeth.
"Such pure physical strength, without any mechanical modifications, to actually withstand the cutting of a war behemoth. By the Goddess of Radiance, you are simply the best material sent to me by the heavens!"
"Stop acting crazy."
Jiang Ming interrupted him coldly, flicked his left hand, and the [Soul-Binding Black Iron Chains] transformed into a streak of dark light, heading straight for Augustus's neck.
Get started first!
When facing a boss of this caliber, any nonsense could lead to a total wipeout.
"Crude necromancy."
Augustus didn't even flinch; he simply raised the scepter slightly.
"Buzz—"
A dark red light screen instantly unfolded in front of him.
The black iron chain struck the light screen, emitting a hissing sound like a living creature's scream, and was immediately flung away.
The resentment clinging to the surface of the chain was instantly evaporated by the red light, with more than half of it being vaporized.
Jiang Ming's face darkened.
This old thing not only has a mutated body, but he can also use high-level magic.
"Chen Qi, fire!" Jiang Ming shouted.
"Bang bang bang!"
Chen Qi pulled the trigger without hesitation.
A series of armor-piercing shells roared out, heading straight for Augustus's head.
But then a bizarre scene unfolded.
The bullet, less than half a meter from Augustus's body, suddenly seemed to sink into some kind of viscous liquid, its speed decreased sharply, and it eventually hovered in mid-air.
"Physical attacks are no longer effective against me."
Augustus smiled dismissively.
The eyes on his neck suddenly opened wide.
"Pfft!"
The bullet, hovering in mid-air, was instantly crushed into powder by an invisible force.
Immediately afterwards, an extremely powerful mental pressure swept through the entire hall like a tsunami.
"what!"
Chen Qi screamed in agony, threw down his rifle, clutched his head with both hands, and collapsed to his knees in agony.
Blood began to seep from his seven orifices, and his eyes became unfocused.
Marlowe was in even worse shape; he rolled his eyes, foamed at the mouth, and fainted.
