069. 'Professor'
Li Aozi taunted, his figure ghostly, making the Cannibal unable to catch him.
He changed directions mid-air, landed smoothly in a slide, dodged the Cannibal's claw strike, picked up the chain from the ground, and swung it again. The chain, tightened by gravity, sliced into the gap in the Cannibal's shoulder armor.
This was precisely where Nimotin had broken through earlier.
Slash—
The Cannibal's right arm was neatly severed, blood gushing out like a fountain. He calmly stretched out his hand, and the severed arm reattached itself, flesh rapidly regenerating, sprouting countless tendrils and mucus, rejoining with the smooth cut surface.
Li Aozi's Arcane energy was depleted; he immediately rolled to the ground, creating distance and hiding.
【Spiritual Drive】
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
Agent Yavanna arrived just in time, holding dual pistols. Her expression was incredibly focused as she pulled the triggers, bullets precisely hitting the Cannibal's severed arm.
Military-grade bullets, which would normally be deflected by armor, now showed their true power against pure flesh.
Blood splattered, flesh shattered, and the Cannibal's tone remained light:
"I see... did you plan this all along?"
Before he finished speaking, Nimotin suddenly surged up, stabbing her curved blade into the stump of his severed arm from behind.
Swoosh!
Finally... Nimotin bit her lip, pouring energy into the blade, driving it into the Cannibal's shoulder flesh. However, it couldn't penetrate any further.
This wasn't flesh—it was like reinforced concrete.
Without hesitation, she directed two opposing energy flows into the wound.
Energy burst!
Boom!
Blood sprayed as the Cannibal staggered back a few steps. Nimotin, blown away by the explosion, had her left thigh sliced by the Cannibal, her prosthetic bones torn and ripped out. She landed, a crippled mess.
"—Yavanna? Li Aozi?"
Nimotin's mind couldn't keep up, no time to think how these two appeared together. She simply shouted:
"Don't let him move! Kill him now!"
"Yes!" Agent Yavanna obeyed, but her pistols could hardly harm the Cannibal. She glanced at Li Aozi.
"Li Aozi first—what are you waiting for?"
"Don't rush."
Li Aozi opened his panel. Nimotin's energy burst had taken a quarter of the Cannibal's health.
Combining the damage dealt by him and Yavanna, they'd inflicted 50% damage on the Cannibal.
Though the Cannibal's health was rapidly recovering, as a biochemist, he couldn't fully regenerate those mimetic health points.
It was time to settle the mission.
