Aoki and Kurohime stood at the edge of the forest, gazing at the gray-white earth littered with skeletons.
It had taken them another day to return.
This was their fourth day here.
Aoki looked to the side: "Are you alright?"
Kurohime's face was pale, bloodless, her body trembling slightly, and her emotions were extremely unstable.
She struggled to take a candy from her snack bag and popped it into her mouth, only then did her trembling gradually subside.
"I'm fine."
Her medication had run low yesterday, and to avoid running out completely, she had to extend the interval between doses.
Her body, unable to absorb enough medication, was beginning to react; waves of excruciating pain shot through her entire body, as if someone were cutting her flesh with a knife.
"Let's get started as soon as possible!" Kurohime looked up at Aoki.
"Okay!" Aoki nodded.
He had a pretty good idea of what was going on. They had to act quickly.
If Kurohime truly lost her fighting ability, he would have to deal with these super dangerous species alone, with an even lower chance of success.
Kurohime took a deep breath, drew her Yafuku sword, and pointed it at the sky. *Click
click click!*
A ball of black energy appeared at the tip of the Eighth Chamber, bursting forth with streaks of black lightning that swirled around it.
Rumble.
The ground churned, and figures emerged.
"These are the Eighth Chamber's puppets,"
Aoki observed.
The Eighth Chamber could control up to eight puppets.
Among the Black-Eyed puppets were six humans, one ape-like Dangerous Species, and a large Dangerous Species whose body was reduced to bones.
Aoki's gaze lingered on the large Dangerous Species.
This was Black-Eyed's trump card, the Super Dangerous Species, Destagur.
Even in this form, it still possessed formidable fighting power.
However,to him, it was far inferior to the three super-dangerous species on this island.
Black-Eyed gasped, his body trembling again.
Aoki didn't waste any more words and walked directly out of the jungle.
Standing on the gray-white ground, he looked up.
A light mist shrouded the sky and earth, countless corpses appearing and disappearing.
He didn't know what this mist was, it seemed it would never dissipate.
"How do I find that super-dangerous species?" Aoki looked around.
Of course,
it would be better if that super-dangerous species didn't show itself, so they could leave at their leisure. Just as this thought crossed his mind, the mist churned, and a huge ball of red energy flew out.
Destagur took a step forward, shielding Aoki, and opened his mouth, a stream of blue energy erupting forth.
Boom!
The red and blue energies collided, a huge explosion resounding through the sky, two enormous flames rising and quickly merging, transforming into a gigantic mushroom cloud.
Thump thump thump!
A tall figure, dragging heavy steps, slowly emerged from the mist.
Aoki stared intently, finally recognizing the true form of this super-dangerous creature.
Its appearance closely resembled a Tyrant Dragon, with two thick lower limbs supporting its body and a long, thick tail trailing behind.
However, unlike the Tyrant Dragon, it possessed four thick forepaws on its upper body, standing nearly thirty meters tall, resembling a building in comparison.
Nevertheless, compared to the Super Pteranodon and the Giant Snail, its size was already the smallest.
Kurome Hachifusa pointed at the Tyrant Dragon.
"Go!"
Rumble!
Destagur charged forward first.
The other puppets also launched attacks from different directions.
Kurome hadn't left any puppets to protect her this time.
Activating Hachifusa severely weakened the user's strength.
Especially since her current drug intake was severely insufficient, her strength was already less than a tenth of what it once was. Any dangerous creature could pose a life-threatening threat to her.
But she still sent out all her puppets, including Natara, who usually stayed by her side to protect her.
Black-Eyed knew very well that this super-dangerous species was extremely strong, and they couldn't win without going all out.
Destagur opened its mouth, blue energy brewing within.
The Tyrant Dragon suddenly turned, its thick tail lashing down, slamming heavily into Destagur's head.
Thud!
The energy dissipated, and Destagur crashed to the ground, cracks appearing on its head.
Chimpanzee Appleman leaped up, swinging his fist at the Tyrant Dragon's knee.
The other puppets also launched attacks from different directions and in different ways.
"Roar!"
The Tyrant Dragon roared to the sky, raising its right foot and stomping down heavily.
Boom!
The earth churned, rocks crumbled, and a violent tremor spread outwards.
All the puppets that approached it were sent flying.
Whoosh!
Aoki flapped its wings and descended from the sky.
The Tyrant Dragon slammed its two claws towards the center.
Compared to its massive size, Aoki, while not quite a rat, was no bigger than a sparrow.
Aoki abruptly folded his wings, and with a tearing sound, his clothes ripped open, revealing eight whips.
For him, this was the most efficient number of whips at the moment.
Any more would be impossible to control precisely, and his combat power would decrease rather than increase.
Thud!
The sharp ends of the whips pierced the Tyrant Dragon's claws.
Its skin, while tough, was far less resilient than the giant snail's shell.
With a powerful tug from the eight whips, Aoki's speed suddenly increased.
The Tyrant Dragon's two claws missed their mark.
Aoki passed through the middle, instantly closing in on the Tyrant Dragon's face, and threw a punch.
Thud!
Flesh exploded.
A small crater appeared on the Tyrant Dragon's head; it cried out in pain and violently shook its head.
"Roar!"
Aoki was thrown back, swinging the eight whips, piercing the Tyrant Dragon's flesh, tracing an arc in the air like a swing.
The Tyrant Dragon suddenly turned its head, opened its mouth, and aimed at Aoki.
Red energy gathered.
The air instantly became scorching hot.
A tremendous sense of crisis flashed through his mind, but Aoki remained calm.
Rip!
His clothes tore again, revealing a bone whip.
Unlike a finger-thick tubular whip, this one extended from the spine and was as thick as an arm. With a flick of his wrist, the whip sliced through the air, its sharp bony tip piercing the Tyrant Dragon jaw.
Splat!
Blood splattered.
The energy within the Tyrant Dragon's mouth dissipated, but it still managed to swat down with a claw.
Aoki felt as if he'd been hit by a train; his body plummeted like a meteor, crashing into rocks that shattered into pieces, his flesh a bloody mess.
Boom!
A burst of blue energy exploded on the Tyrant Dragon, engulfing it in flames.
Moments later, the flames subsided, revealing the Tyrant Dragon's form. Aside from burn marks where it had been directly struck, it was completely unharmed.
"Such a huge size, really troublesome!"
Aoki sighed.
Although he and the puppet inflicted some damage on the Tyrannosaurus Rex, the wounds were practically negligible given the Tyrant Dragon size.
Furthermore, there was another problem: his attacks were all based on human designs and were ineffective against such a massive monster.
Suddenly, one of the puppets was accidentally stepped on by the Tyrant Dragon and instantly turned into a pile of minced meat.
