Chapter 301: Escape of Contamination
The deep purple King of Contamination slowly crawled out of the bubbles.
Jelinsha frowned tightly, as if sensing something was wrong.
“Do you think using this slime can turn the tide?” the attached spirit said without emotion.
Kurei was taken aback; could it be that she didn’t recognize the Contaminated Creatures!?
Upon further thought, it’s clear that the source of Contaminated Creatures began to appear from Sun Wheel City.
However, after harming the residents of Sun Wheel City, it was hidden in the secret passage by Hedy.
This meant that the old monsters of the Dark Faction were at most aware of the Lord of Contamination, but had never encountered the Contaminated Creatures!
So, it meant…
“Surround them! Be careful not to kill them!”
Under Jelinsha’s command, the Ratmen swarmed in.
They packed the filthy being and others tightly.
Aijue took a breath, “There’s no time left…”
Qianlin was passed to Nitiya, with the Black Crystal Stone protecting nearby. Along with the King of Contamination and Aijue, the filthy being was surrounded by Platinum-tier powers from four directions.
Even so, there was still no sense of relief.
“King of Contamination, Contamination Blast!”
A strange jelly-like purple object immediately condensed into something as disgusting as saliva.
Shooting!
-4552
The nearest swordsman was the first to suffer.
The damage was considerably less than Nitiya’s.
However, the subsequent corrosive attack was the main event.

…
Damage jumped every half second, suggesting it could last for over ten seconds, resulting in considerable overall damage.
Moreover, the Contamination Curse would block the enemy’s healing effects, akin to poison.
“Ughhh!” The corrupted swordsman let out a scream, his body turned into an afterimage as he charged.
-3558
Under level suppression, the Contaminated Creatures instantly fell into a blurry state.
Seeing this scene, the attached spirit decisively ordered, “Get rid of that disgusting thing first!”
In no time, the King of Contamination was heavily surrounded by puppets and Ratmen.
After releasing Armor-Piercing Arrows and Mouth-Swallowing Armor, his own defense was nearly depleted!

-7841
-3772
-11009
…
The collective strength of the enemies was immense, especially with the level suppression that came from a ten-level difference.
By logic, the demoness’s judgment was not wrong; if this thing continued to exist, the situation would become dire.
Although she held an absolute advantage in numbers, the presence of the King of Contamination always made her feel unsettled.
Countless melee attacks and ranged magic formed a terrifying suppression effect; the King of Contamination was immobilized and in less than 20 seconds, the prestigious Platinum-level pet was thus beaten to death.
The time it bought merely allowed Nitiya, Aijue, and Zane to focus fire
and take down a mage.
“Hmph, little one, your support is completely dead now. Don’t struggle in vain; why not submit to my Qilin? This potion can awaken your potential. Drink it and you can…” Jelinsha possessed a distant assassin and clutched a potion bottle with a grin.
However, the assassin’s smile gradually froze.
Because the King of Contamination, after losing its last bit of health, began to swell continuously, ultimately transforming with a thundering bang into two identical entities.
Puh!
-8950
An arm formed from the Contamination pierced through the chest of the assassin, and then retracted.
“Hey…” Jelinsha spat out blood, and her health bar dropped to 99%.
If the possessed target is attacked, the original body also gets injured!?
“Quickly take care of this disgusting thing, you bunch of maggots!”
The zombies did not speak, but their gazes silently shifted, all turning toward the King of Contamination!
Even the Ratmen had started to entwine around the Contamination, feeding.
These guys certainly dared to eat anything!
During this time, Nitiya supported, Aijue led, Zane and the Black Crystal Stone acted as control to seize opportunities and swiftly eliminated the outermost archer.
An exit was broken through the encirclement.
The three ran out.
As for the attached spirit, she had no time to worry about this side of things.
The target of the King of Contamination had never changed; it consistently focused its attacks on the demoness.
It offered no resistance to the attacks from others.
Shrink, swell, split.
Soon, 1, 2, 4, 8, the numbers increased increasingly until she realized the count had become uncontrollable, like a flood.
Most importantly, they were completely unafraid of death, madly attacking Demoness Jelinsha.
Whoever they possessed would be collectively attacked; if in an unpossessed state, they would use the Contamination Blast.
This move seemed capable of attacking the spirit body.
Even a Diamond-tier boss would struggle against such vicious assaults, with health gradually decreasing under the relentless piercing; she was even beginning to feel fear.
Changing targets meant experiencing a painful piercing each time, with terrifying wounds not stopping on every plummeting corpse.
So painful…
So painful…!
Why must I endure this pain time and again!?
Damn Contamination…
Puh!
Finally, the last penetration caused the attached spirit to completely collapse.
Plans? Infiltration? Control? That master’s demands? To hell with all of it!
“I won’t let you have it easy… Waaaah…” Jelinsha looked at the chaotic street filled with contaminated rats, slime, and bloodied remnants, laughing maniacally.
“Go~die~now~!”
……
The escape went smoothly, even achieving unexpectedly good results.
The King of Contamination was even stronger than the previous Contaminated Creatures, reminiscent of when it was inundated in the Crimson Plain.
Now the enemies experienced the same sourness, and it felt somewhat unbelievable.
Since the orders were to only attack the boss, there was no worry about killing innocents, and the safety of the King of Contamination didn’t matter either; after all, it would only multiply with more hits.
When it was time to make a getaway, it had to be reined in, or else if the Survival Blade arrived, it would be troublesome.
Although the King of Contamination appeared to have invincible skills, if the opponent possessed purification methods, with Grace’s strength, it was like a wolf among sheep—easily reaped.
It was best not to let too many people witness it.
“Hedy, what on earth are those terrifying things?!” Aijue, having escaped the danger, finally couldn’t hold back.
“Contaminated Creatures, each time they die they will respawn and split. Don’t worry; they won’t harm innocent people.”
“…” Aijue fell silent, clearly skeptical.
This was understandable, as anyone witnessing the seemingly bug-like abilities and inherently evil appearance of the Contaminated Creatures would feel it boded ill.
“Don’t make that face, Alna is my friend; I won’t do anything to make her sad,” Zane patted his back, trying to comfort him.
Of course, the mention of Alna eased Aijue’s expression.
“I get it; you’re different from those guys…”
“Everything has its pros and cons,” Zane shrugged helplessly.
At this moment, the distant sky was illuminated by a red fire, even from here, one could feel the temperature rising.
That is… Flame of the Dead!?
What’s going on!? The demoness shouldn’t be at Ten Li Street, right? Why would Kurei use a finishing move?
“General, we must hurry! Alna might be in danger!” Zane exclaimed while running.
“What??” Aijue’s face turned ashen as he rushed toward the flames.
