Master of the End Times

Chapter 95 - Dark-Robed Ripper

Panda Novel

Qin Feng reckoned he should not be too full of himself when he recalled that the Emperor Knight was at F8-tier.

He reminded himself not to evaluate the current situation based on his past experience as an A-tier warrior. Emperor Knights were a formidable foe that was still too difficult for him at his present state.

Qin Feng loosened up a little after he thought it through. ‘Getting stronger should be my priority now.’

He worked relentlessly the next few days to exterminate as many F-tier zombies as possible. Nonetheless, the invasion did not show signs of slowing down.

Qin Feng had indeed become stronger. He was currently as lethal as an E-tier fighter. Both the number of zombies killed and his points increased exponentially as the days went by.

On the other hand, the Dark-Robed Rippers seemed to have become equally desperate. The more zombies the humans killed, the more frequent the spatial rift appeared. The humans and the beasts were locked in a seesaw battle.

In the past few days, not only the zombies but the human force had also suffered considerable loss. A handful of ability users had fallen in the hands of the enemy. Chengyang city was able to hold only because they had hauled in large reinforcements from other colonies. Besides, the authorities had covered up the number of actual casualties, thus not many knew that they had already lost close to four hundred comrades.

Qin Feng was aware of the actual situation. Hence, other than essential rest, he had been hunting non-stop up at Zimu Mountains. His point reward was a whopping 80,000 credits now, which far exceeded the rest of the troop.

At the mountains, Qin Feng leisurely beheaded another fiery zombie in front of him.

The core inside the zombie skull was an ability core. After Qin Feng had absorbed it, the core granted him a small number of fire runes.

Unfortunately, even with the great numbers of runes, Qin Feng still found it difficult to enhance his consciousness.

He could not do anything about it. Most of the dark-robed entities had been killed by him and he had run out of ingredients to power up his consciousness.

“Why didn’t the Ripper let more dark-robed entities slip through?” Qin Feng murmured.

He actually understood why. Ability users that could manipulate runes were a rare breed. If it were uncommon among the human race, then it should also be the case for other species. The dark-robed entities were probably a rare and valuable asset in their world as well.

Qin Feng chuckled and was suddenly alerted. A dark-robed entity had just appeared not very far ahead.

“Speaking of the devil!” Qin Feng dashed up to the beast quickly.

Bai Li sensed the anomaly and cautioned her master. “Dear, be careful. It’s a beast king.”

Bai Li had learned about the human classification of beasts after mingling in the society for a while now. The dark-robed entity in front of them was not the common beast Qin Feng thought it was.

Qin Feng was startled. “The Dark-Robed Ripper?”

The moment he made out the enemy’s identity, it was already dashing toward him.

Rawr!

The Ripper revealed its look. Different from the black skeleton and skull usually seen on common dark-robed entities, the Ripper’s face was scarlet. It looked exactly like a skinless creature with its flesh exposed. There were no whites in its eyes, which made the creature both peculiar and hideous.

He seemed to have found out that the culprit behind its underlings’ massacre was the human in front of it. The beast raised its arm and rays of dark bands soon covered Qin Feng.

‘Dark laser?’ Qin Feng knew exactly what those rays were. The other dark-robed entities had used the same trick on him before but since he had absorbed the hell stone, Qin Feng was immune to all types of dark ability.

However, Qin Feng decided it was best not to expose his ability with so many surveillance drones flying around.

Unfortunately, the Ripper’s dark ray traveled too fast and shrouded a huge area owing to the abundant dark element surrounding them. It was simply not possible to evade them all.

‘You are not the only one with a laser!’ Qin Feng reacted calmly and raised his fingers. However, the beam coming out from it was not the dark laser but a blazing spark.

‘Fire beam!’ Qin Feng learned the skill immediately after he mastered the dark laser since both skills were based on the same principle. To a certain extent, the fire beam was even more devastating than the dark ray. Unlike the debilitating effect of the dark laser, the fire beam features scorching heat and explosive impact. With such dense energy packed into a single beam, the fire element actually had a bigger advantage in a direct collision between the two.

Pop!

The fire beam met the dark laser straight on in mid-air. The two forces pushed against each other evenly. But slowly and steadily, Qin Feng’s fire beam began to push back the dark laser.

‘Go all the way!’ Qin Feng enhanced his consciousness and gathered more fire runes in the air. He finally amassed enough energy to completely overwhelm his opponent.

Boom!

The flame hit the Ripper’s body and sent the beast flying.

“Hmm?” Qing Feng was baffled.

Because of the attack, the Dark-Robed Ripper was no longer able to hide its presence. The communicator picked up the beast’s signal and rang abruptly.

“Alert! Beast king has appeared. The detected creature is F3-tier. It is 42 meters away from your current position. Be cautious and retreat immediately.”

Qin Feng’s new communicator was able to analyze nearby creatures with better precision.

‘The Dark-Robed Ripper is only an F3-tier? Then why are those E-tier users still unable to defeat it? What a bunch of thrash!’

Qin Feng turned grim as he instantly comprehended the true reason behind it. Since the situation was largely under control now, E-tier fighters only needed to fight once or twice per day and would be given a great reward. They certainly did not hope to see this end too quickly. This was because the longer the war dragged on, the more benefit they would be able to reap.

As a result, those who put their lives on the line were not the E-tiers but users from G-tier and F-tier.

‘I will gladly take what you have let loose.’ Qin Feng marched on furiously. The Ripper was obviously a powerful ability user. Such a creature certainly had high consciousness. Qin Feng could not wait to reap the reward from killing it.

The Ripper was greatly agitated by Qin Feng. To the beast, Qin Feng was just a measly fly that did not know his place.

It pointed at Qin Feng furiously. A dark circular object promptly appeared at the tip of its finger and enlarged rapidly.

Qin Feng side-stepped and evaded the attack agilely.

The dark energy ball could pry away a human life force. It worked almost the same way as Qin Feng’s skill, only that the Ripper had stronger consciousness and could release the attack at will from a further distance.

Qin Feng moved extremely fast by triggering his inner force. He relayed most of the force to his leg, which enabled him to skip past the ball of death.

At the same time, five fire beams exploded simultaneously.

Boom!

The Dark-Robed Ripper protected itself with a dark barrier and resisted Qin Feng’s short-range attack.

The two of them scaled up the assault as both sides refused to back down. It was hard for the drone not to notice the barrage of massive attacks executed in this battle.

Inside the base, most of the E-tier ability users received the live footage almost at the same time.

“What’s the big fuss?”

“It’s the Ripper. Someone seems to be fighting it!”

“I recognize him. It’s Qin Feng. Why did he attack the Ripper?”

“He is actually capable of exterminating an F-tier beast king. That’s bad. We have to stop him now!”
