"Madman! Madman!"
"There's a madman over there! Run! Run!"
A single Calamity Beast nearly wiped out their entire twelve-member elite team.
Summoning three at once? Ha!
Only a madman or a fool would do that!
After descending, Calamity Beasts indiscriminately attack all humans nearby—humans are their sole target.
If those three Calamity Beasts spotted them, they'd be dead men walking.
"Help me up! Don't leave me behind, I beg you!"
The old man with the broken leg sat on the ground, screaming helplessly. His voice trembled, revealing his sheer terror.
"Damn it, who was so reckless? I'm not going down with them!"
Everyone present, no matter how badly injured, had to muster their last ounce of strength to flee.
If they were slow, they might get caught in the crossfire!
Reality isn't a game...
"But what about these three Calamity Beasts?"
"What else can we do? Report them to the Enforcement Department immediately. They absolutely cannot be allowed into the city!"
"Wonder if heavy firearms would work against them... First-tier Calamity Beasts aren't something most ordinary players can handle..."
...
Three crimson beams shot skyward.
These were Tier 1 "Catastrophe Beasts" summoned by Chen Nian using his own blood.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The ground pulsed rhythmically as three black monstrosities of varying shapes slowly stepped out of the red beams.
They resembled no known creature, yet bore features of various animals and humans—like grotesque hybrids cobbled together by a mad scientist... .....
Some bore eyes on their wings, others had faces positioned on their crotches, and one possessed eight legs and three heads.
Their sole commonality was their pitch-black color, like monsters descended from the depths of hell.
Yet now, Chen Nian discovered a chilling truth.
Unlike ordinary monsters that respawn and revive...
These Calamity Beasts possessed consciousness and sentience!
"Heh, never imagined humans could be this audacious."
"Opening three Calamity Gates at once, yet only one person? Looks like he came seeking death."
"Since he summoned us, we'll grant him the most gruesome demise..."
"Tearing a human limb from limb and devouring him alive... that should be quite entertaining, heh!"
The three demons had already marked Chen Nian as lambs for slaughter.
Meanwhile, behind Chen Nian, over a hundred undead warriors had gathered, their target equally fixed on him.
Hundreds of high-level monsters, plus three exceptionally powerful Calamity Beasts.
Anyone witnessing this scene would likely be terrified stiff on the spot—including the elite players from the group moments ago, those high-level masters leading the charge.
But Chen Nian merely sneered contemptuously, golden light slowly igniting within his pupils...
Like flowing gold, his dazzling, blinding gaze caused all three Calamity Beasts to tremble.
"You seem... to think too highly of yourselves?"
The casual remark carried the weight of a sovereign's authority, an arrogance that looked down upon the world.
"Humans are but our prey. Die!"
One Calamity Beast reached out a hand toward Chen Nian, a hand covered in dozens of bloodshot eyes.
The hand snapped off.
Before it could reach Chen Nian, it snapped clean in two mid-air, without warning.
"GAAAHHHH!!!!"
The Calamity Beast let out a scream that tore at the throat.
Now, all three Calamity Beasts stared at Chen Nian in disbelief, their pupils dilated to their limits.
They saw a golden phantom, faint yet distinct, shimmering behind Chen Nian.
As if a deity wielding a great sword stood to judge all creation.
All who are guilty shall be slain!
Sequence 121: Word Spirit—Judgment Golden Sword
Chen Nian advanced step by step, a contemptuous smile curling his lips. The golden light in his pupils shone as blindingly as the sun.
"I hear you treat humans as bait?"
"Sorry, but to me, you're all the same."
"Kneel."
The words barely left his mouth when the Judgment Gold Sword swung, slicing through the very space before Chen Nian!
All three monsters—limbless or not—had their lower halves cleaved apart.
Chen Nian had never imagined that the "Catastrophe" could possess its own consciousness.
It seemed this world was far more complex than a simple fusion of game and reality.
But it didn't matter.
Just then, the undead warriors surged forward from behind.
Yet they met the same fate—before touching Chen Nian, their bodies snapped clean in two. The scene was eerily surreal...
"Why so quiet? Cripple-creatures."
Hands in pockets, Chen Nian ignored the tide of undead warriors surging behind him, smiling at the three Calamity Beasts before him.
"Im-impossible..."
"A human could be this powerful..."
The next instant, one Calamity Beast's neck snapped clean off.
Its head, no longer supported, slid downward, only to be sliced into countless fragments mid-air, scattering across the ground.
"Who knew slaughtering Calamity Beasts could be far more entertaining than killing ordinary minions?"
"...."
"Next.".....
In a mere ten minutes.
Not a single living soul remained in the valley besides Chen Nian.
Three Calamity Beasts had been reduced to countless fragments, fertilizing the earth.
Only then did Chen Nian exhale, the golden glow in his pupils slowly fading as he released the Word Spirit.
Clearing so many pests in one go had taken a toll.
But the rewards were exceptionally rich.
For each Undead Warrior slain, Chen Nian gained over a hundred units of genetic energy.
Wiping out the entire wave netted him tens of thousands of experience points!
Moreover, the gene energy from slaying Calamity Beasts was even richer—a staggering three thousand per beast!
This wave alone netted him nearly twenty thousand experience points.
Chen Nian's level smoothly climbed to 68!
"The efficiency's passable, but the cost is too high. Can't sustain this for long."
Beyond the massive gene energy haul, the ordinary undead warriors also dropped Chen Nian a pile of common materials, equipment, and skill scrolls.
But none of that was the main prize.
The crucial item came from the Calamity Beast.
The Calamity Gem!
Killing Calamity Beasts had a chance to drop Calamity Gems—the rare reward that truly set hearts racing and drove countless players mad.
[Calamity Gem "Defense-Attack Reversal": Converts an equal amount of total defense into attack power]
This effect was absolutely perfect for Chen Nian.
His defense was already absurdly high, but his attack power was slightly lacking. With this Calamity Gem, he could sacrifice defense at critical moments to skyrocket his attack power.
Extremely practical.
It was about time to leave this place and find somewhere to rest....
A long time later.
The lights of two helicopters illuminated the valley.
The group that had fled earlier returned, accompanied by elite forces from the Enforcement Department and aerial units.
"You claim this is where three Calamity Beasts appeared?" Li Yunwei demanded.
"Yes... absolutely! We witnessed it ourselves—some lunatic summoned three Calamity Beasts at once...."
"He must be dead by now..."
