Chapter 337 Unfathomable

Listening to Eric's anxious tone, everyone in Aether Wing knew that this matter was far from simple.

Since Eric had already said so, everyone naturally wouldn't go against him, and they all fled towards the exit of the Blood Hand Society's base.

The combat power of the Mechanical Slaughterer was truly terrifying. It could not only unleash area-destroying skills, but even a level 50 Tier 1 NPC guard was killed in seconds, let alone this group of players in their 20s.

If it were just a simple area-destroying skill, it would be one thing, but the key was that even its normal attacks could instantly kill guards with over 100,000 health points. This was simply unbeatable, a complete crushing rhythm that players at this stage couldn't contend with.

"President, be careful," FlameDancer couldn't help but clench her small fists, feeling a bit unwilling in her heart.

"Okay," Eric responded casually, unable to be as relaxed as before.

Because in front of Eric were not only the Mechanical Slaughterer but also the Mechanical Guardians.

Previously, these Mechanical Guardians had been chasing everyone out of the secret vault, but after everyone escaped, these Mechanical Guardians came back to deal with Eric.

Eric had to both block the actions of the Mechanical Slaughterer and dodge the attacks of the eight Mechanical Guardians.

After all, Eric was only a level 24 Tier 0 Swordsman. He could only use all his life-saving skills to barely avoid being killed, but at this moment, he was already at the end of his rope.

"Damn it, I'm clearly helping you, but you're coming after me. If you want to die, I'll grant your wish." Eric looked at the Mechanical Guardians attacking him alone and couldn't help but get angry. He no longer used the intermediate Frostbite Grenade to block the Mechanical Slaughterer's actions and immediately threw it at the Mechanical Guardians, immobilizing them.

"I'm not playing with you anymore."

Eric took out a speed scroll from his backpack. With the speed boost from the scroll, Eric's speed soared again, heading straight for the secret vault door.

"You all must die!" The Mechanical Slaughterer went berserk after thawing, letting out a mechanical roar that shook the entire vault.

After the roar, the Mechanical Slaughterer took a big step towards the fleeing Eric.

However, the frozen Mechanical Guardians blocked the Mechanical Slaughterer's path. Without a word, the Mechanical Slaughterer swung its sword, and with just one strike, the 20-foot-tall, bulky Mechanical Guardian was sent flying. With eight consecutive strikes, the eight Mechanical Guardians were pinned to the wall.

"What terrifying damage, truly worthy of being a Heterogeneous," Eric finally saw the true damage of the Mechanical Slaughterer.

It was just a normal strike, but it took away over 300,000 health points from the Mechanical Guardian, which had a total of 1.5 million health points.

In other words, a level 30 Overlord Grade Mechanical Guardian could be easily killed with just five strikes.

At this level of strength, it could easily wipe out a novice town.

"It seems this town is out of the question," Eric estimated the combat power of the Mechanical Slaughterer and couldn't help but frown.

Heterogeneous in Divine Realms: Legends was a special existence, completely outside the normal NPC category, usually mutated from monsters, and the probability of appearing in the game was as low as obtaining a lucky stone in Divine Realms: Legends.

These Heterogeneous were not controlled by the System and were completely free creatures. They could move to any area and attack any creature until it was destroyed.

Their appearance was always a disaster in Divine Realms: Legends, akin to various natural disasters in reality, something no single player could handle.

Heterogeneous generally exhibited significantly increased intelligence, almost on par with high-level NPCs, and their combat power increased geometrically.

In the previous life, Eric had seen a Heterogeneous mutated from an ordinary level 80 monster, which directly killed a group of level 75 Tier 2 players.

A level 75 Tier 2 player with good skills could entangle with an 80-level Overlord for a while and escape without any problem, but facing an ordinary level 80 monster and being instantly killed, even if partly due to carelessness, showed how terrifying the power increase of a mutated monster was.

This mutated ordinary monster became a nightmare for players.

By the time everyone realized it, over ten thousand players had died at the hands of that Heterogeneous, and as the kill count increased, the Heterogeneous's power also grew.

This attracted the attention of many large guilds. It was well known that the more powerful the monster, the better the weapons and equipment it dropped, an iron rule in Divine Realms: Legends, and mutated monsters were no exception.

Mutated monsters were so strong, much stronger than high-level Overlords, so the rewards would surely be rich.

So, various large guilds sent armies to hunt it down, with the total number of troops exceeding 100,000, all above level 70, including many Tier 2 experts.

That battle was earth-shattering, and a novice town was completely destroyed.

Although they finally killed the Heterogeneous, the cost was heavy, with less than 3,000 of the 100,000 players surviving.

And the Heterogeneous in front of them was mutated from a high-level Overlord monster. Eric couldn't imagine what level the Mechanical Slaughterer would reach. The current Mechanical Slaughterer was still in its infancy, at its weakest. If it grew, he couldn't imagine the consequences.

Previously, an ordinary level 80 monster mutation could wipe out over 90,000 of a 100,000-strong army, including many Tier 2 experts, with levels similar to the Heterogeneous. The Mechanical Slaughterer in front of them was only level 50, but no player had reached level 40 yet, making it impossible for players to contend with it.

During the time Eric escaped from the vault, the eight Mechanical Guardians were killed by the Mechanical Slaughterer, which then charged at Eric.

"So fast!" Eric quickly threw out a Frostbite Grenade.

But this time, the Mechanical Slaughterer didn't fall for it. It took a light step and dodged the Frostbite Grenade.

"Damn, it's all those Mechanical Guardians' fault," Eric thought angrily. At the beginning, the Mechanical Slaughterer had just awakened and wasn't very intelligent, so it couldn't dodge. Once frozen, as long as Eric had enough Frostbite Grenades, he could keep it frozen indefinitely, but not anymore.

Seeing the Mechanical Slaughterer about to swing its serrated sword, and with only one path in the corridor, there was no way to dodge, and taking the hit would be fatal.

Eric could only fight to the death, pointing the Abyssal Blade at the Mechanical Slaughterer.

Abyssal Bind!

Suddenly, nine pitch-black, icy chains emerged from the ground, binding the Mechanical Slaughterer.

The Mechanical Slaughterer struggled madly, breaking one chain in an instant, followed by two, three more breaking.

The usually unstoppable Abyssal Bind seemed as fragile as paper at this moment.
