Colonial Suit

Using his own body as an axis, he swung the light blade at a speed of about ten times per second, using the centrifugal force of the high-speed rotation. This was the Blade Vortex. This move had no technical content, but it was a test of the body's limits. In just a few dozen seconds, he rotated hundreds of times, and Blood瞳 could almost feel the blood in his body being squeezed into his limbs in an instant. The intense pain twisted his nerves.

But he didn't care. Because in these short dozens of seconds, hundreds of metal worms were cut down by him out of thin air. The sharpness of the colony-mounted light blade far exceeded his imagination. Even with such frequent cutting, he didn't feel any resistance. It was as if he was cutting pieces of paper.

For a time, silver light rained down. Countless debris flew in all directions, hitting the cave walls and making crisp sounds. Blood瞳 actually managed to block the invasion of the insect swarm with his own strength.

But the advantage only lasted for less than five minutes, and Blood瞳 retreated in the face of the terrifying pressure of the insect swarm.

This was not intentional. It was just that the Blade Vortex consumed too much stamina. Even Blood瞳 couldn't last too long. Moreover, although the impact of the metal worms could be cut down, the force of the impact could not be completely eliminated. Every bit of force acted on Blood瞳's body. Even with his perseverance, he felt pain all over his body, as if his bones were about to break.

And in reality... Blood瞳's forte, close combat, had no advantage in the face of the insect swarm. His specialty was close combat. This fighting style was naturally powerful when fighting a small number of enemies. But it was very inefficient when facing a large number of small creatures. Even if he could kill one with a single blow, the number of creatures rushing at him at the same time was more than a hundred times that? Even if Blood瞳's speed was faster, he would be overwhelmed.

However, the fierce battle didn't give Blood瞳 much energy to think about these things. He only knew to keep swinging his blade and dodging. He dodged the impact of one metal worm after another, and then cut them in half with the light blade. He knew his strengths and weaknesses very well. Although he had an extremely sharp light blade. But his body parts had no protection. The colony only had two parts, hands and feet. Once he was hit by a worm flying like a bullet. He would at least break a few ribs.

In such a difficult situation, Blood瞳 was sweating profusely in just a few minutes. But he gritted his teeth and persevered. He tried his best to keep the pressure of the insect swarm on the outside. He didn't say a word.

Soon, Blood瞳 felt that his stamina was about to reach its limit. He felt as if he was trapped in a large net, and it was difficult for him to exert his strength. But he wasn't without any benefits. The high-intensity battle prompted his spirit to unconsciously begin to combine with his body, making his blade swings faster and more precise. Although it was hard work, it quietly improved his combat intuition. Allowing him to barely withstand the invasion of the insect swarm.

"咻!" A sharp whistling sound came from the darkness again. Blood瞳 didn't even look and just turned his feet, letting a flying worm pass by. He casually slashed at it as it passed by. Just as he was about to turn around, a throbbing feeling of danger suddenly came from his heart. Blood瞳 couldn't care about anything else and jumped to the side.

"砰!" With a bang, the rock where he was originally standing was torn apart. A silver light flew out from it. Blood瞳 could tell at a glance that the silver light was different. It was not a single worm, but several worms twisted together, turning into a scythe. Even in the dark cave, he could see the sharp cold light of the blade. Blood瞳 was immediately frightened into a cold sweat. If he hadn't reacted quickly just now, he would have been seriously injured even if he didn't die.

It sounds complicated, but it was actually just a moment. Just as Blood瞳 dodged the terrifying mutated worm, an even stronger sense of crisis surged into his heart. Before he could react, another mutated worm suddenly flashed out of the darkness behind him. The blade of the giant scythe slashed towards his neck with a whistling sound!! In an instant, Blood瞳's pupils contracted to the limit!!

Bullet time!!!

In a near desperate situation, Blood瞳 finally used his ability. The whole world was still. He clearly felt the slight chill coming from his neck. His heart was ice-cold.

Fast, too fast.

The timing of these two worms was excellent, and their speed was much faster than the worms he had seen before. They almost killed him. Blood瞳 didn't know how many such worms there were. But for the first time, he felt that he was so close to the god of death. He knew that if it wasn't for bullet time, he would have become a headless corpse.

The accelerating effect of bullet time was limited. In just a few breaths, Blood瞳 felt a splitting headache. He desperately recalled the feeling of dodging bullets back then. He moved his neck away from the sharp blade little by little. This time he didn't panic, so the effect was much better than last time. He actually moved more than a meter away. A feeling of dizziness followed, and Blood瞳 could no longer maintain the state of bullet time.

Time release!

Everything returned to normal. A silver light flashed past, and the rock where Blood瞳 was originally standing was immediately cut off a layer. The two mutated 'scythes' circled in the air for a moment, and then drew two arcs in the darkness, attacking Blood瞳 from the left and right!!

The 'scythes' flew extremely fast, and their routes were strange. It was as if they really had intelligence. Their attack angles even calculated Blood瞳's dodge routes. Seeing that the 'scythes' were about to seal off all his dodge routes, Blood瞳 sighed in his heart. He prepared to take out his last trump card... the foot colony.

"砰砰!!"

Suddenly, two gunshots rang out one after another. Two dazzling sparks burst out in the darkness. The two special 'scythes' exploded into countless fragments in the air. Blood瞳 was slightly startled, but when he turned his head, he saw a familiar figure.

Not far behind him, Priest Robbie lowered the muzzle of his shotgun. He made the sign of the cross on his chest with his fingers.

"The light of the Lord can illuminate everything. Stray sheep, the Lord will not allow your flesh to be defiled by dark creatures."

Blood瞳 was covered in sweat, but his expression was still indifferent. "Is your work done?"

"With the grace of the Lord, this task is not difficult for the Lord's servant." Robbie seriously made the sign of the cross. Then he carried a creature tied like a dumpling on his shoulder.

"Leave the rest to me. You are not suitable for facing such a large number of enemies. Protect my flanks and rear."

"Okay!" Blood瞳 didn't stand on ceremony. He turned directly behind Robbie. His gaze paused for a moment when it landed on the Starry Sky Beast on his shoulder. But he still hung the drooping rope on the waist mechanism. In the next moment, the two of them pressed the mechanism at the same time. The gears inside the mechanism rotated at high speed, taking the two of them up like rockets. In just one second, they rushed into the insect swarm shimmering with silver light!

This time it was Robbie who took the lead. Compared to Blood瞳, who was about to become an apprentice mercenary, he was obviously more experienced. He didn't panic at all when facing the massive metal worms. He directly raised the muzzle of his gun.

"砰砰砰砰..."

The low sound of the shotgun echoed in the cave. Every shot exploded a large area of silver light in front of the two of them. Robbie's firing speed was very fast. Almost one shot after another. After each attack, the shotgun would rotate in his hand to reload. It looked extremely handsome. Coupled with his handsome face and sunny temperament, if there were girls present at this moment, even the most dangerous environment would not be able to stop their screams of surprise.

However, Blood瞳's attention was not on these things, but on Robbie's movements when he fired. He found that Robbie's wrist had an imperceptible sinking movement every time he fired. This movement allowed him to reduce the recoil of the shot. Especially when using a powerful firearm like a shotgun, his sinking was very rhythmic. It was like a clear drumbeat. Making a deep impression on Blood瞳. Without showing any emotion, he memorized every detail of Robbie's shooting, just like a movie.

In the sound of gunshots, the two of them rushed through the middle of the insect swarm like rockets. Robbie's shotgun was very effective against the insect swarm. He blasted away the metal worms in front of him on a large scale, while Blood瞳's blade light was always wrapped around him. The two cooperated with each other tacitly. It was as if they had rehearsed countless times. In just a moment, the two of them felt that their vision opened up, and the insect swarm was no longer an obstacle for the two of them.

"Thank the Lord for his protection." Robbie very seriously made the sign of the cross on his chest. Then he revealed a smile that was enough to fascinate any girl. "And thank you, my friend."

"........, we have not escaped the danger yet." Blood瞳 was silent for a while, and replied. "I remember in the information you gave me, metal worms are a very vengeful creature. They will catch up soon."

"That's why I prepared a trump card. Now is the time to use it." Robbie smiled and pointed to Blood瞳's waist.

"Understood."

Blood瞳 readily took out the metal decomposition agent and threw it down. Robbie then raised his hand and fired a shot. With a bang, the agent worth a thousand gold was blown up in mid-air. The azure blue agent fell down like rain. Blood瞳 personally saw the silver light surging below slightly stagnate, followed by a creepy scream.

"Next, we won't be harassed by these lovely little bugs." Robbie turned the shotgun in his hand gracefully and put it back into his backpack.

The two rose very quickly. In just a few minutes, they could see the light coming from above. Robbie's expression also became more relaxed. He was already thinking about the arrangements after the mission. Apprentice mercenaries, although the lowest level of space mercenaries, also had the power to accept missions independently. He could quickly enrich himself with the high mission rewards of space mercenaries, just like those enviable mercenary seniors in the past. He could also buy some tactical chips and ability potions.

What a wonderful life... Robbie didn't want to stay on this backward planet for a moment.

But he didn't realize that the closer he got to the cave entrance, the worse Blood瞳's face became. His eyes were fixed on the Starry Sky Beast on Robbie's shoulder. His eyes were complicated.

Deep inside Blood瞳's body, a voice was constantly tempting him...

Eat it...

Eat it...

You will become stronger.

That is your food, its cells, molecules, every bit of flesh and blood... is yours!

Eat it!!!

You must eat it!!!!!!!!
