It was a monstrous beast that shared a resemblance to a giant crocodile. Although, if one compared the two, the latter would merely look like a tiny fish in a stream. It stood at a height of 18 meters and was easily a hundred meters long where it lay. Its gigantic physique gave off a terrifying forced from 80 meters away making it seem, to Luo Yuan, as if it were right in front of them.

Its body was covered in saw-like layers of deep purple scales, carved into beautiful silver patterns. Trailing its spine from head to the end of its tail was a golden skeleton with three stacks of one meter tall, black lance-like thorns with yellow spots. Luo Yuan figured such a defense would be impossible to penetrate! Its limbs look extremely powerful, with five digits and four long sharp claws that were carved into the layer of ice.

All of a sudden, the beast rose up and there was a fog surrounding its massive form. From a distance, it looked like a fog-spewing mythical titan! The air seemed to stand still in its presence as its aura filled the surrounding area with an unbelievable force. There seem to be menacing swirling look in its bowl-sized, pitched black eyes. At a quick glance into its eyes, Luo Yuan felt a strong sense of impending doom. His heart was racing and his spirit froze, ice-cold with fear.

He mind screamed to abandon all hope and fun for his life as this enormous beast was the most difficult entity he had ever encountered. Furthermore, looking at the rising fog that surrounded its being, this mutated beast was a thousand times larger than the spirit based evolved human in Desert City. Even his +17 Physique was no match for such a God-like creature.

"Captain, retreat.." Luo Yuan whispered softly, as he concealed his vibe and backed up slowly to avoid being spotted by the beast. Before Lin Feiyan could respond to his warning, the giant beast turned its head and stared right at the both of them.

"BAM!"

Looking into its swirling eyes, Luo Yuan felt a sharp jolt run through his body, and his mind went completely blank. With all his might, he summoned his Will power and slowly regained consciousness as the layer of Will covered his physique. In an instant, one-third of his Will power was drained just fighting to stay alert. He was shocked to his core as the power in those eyes and thanked his lucky stars that the beast had not attacked him in that state or he would have sure been dead.

"RUN!" He shouted. Just as the words escaped his lips, he felt another jolt run through his body and his Will drained yet again, half his body frozen stiff from a layer of ice. He looked up in disbelief, to see Lin Feiyan standing before him, a cold white palm pressed to his chest.

He noticed in Lin Feiyan’s eyes that she was possessed and she struck him. The giant beast was in control of her mind. He started to panic, but fortunately his reflexes did not fail him. In the blink of an eye, he masterfully laid a strike onto a pressure-point in her neck with his hand, and she fainted instantly. With all his strength, he grabbed her in his arms, stomped his feet hard and ran as fast as he could.

"ROAR!" A deafening roar exploded from behind him and a strong wind hit him as he ran, nearly knocking him off his feet. The sky suddenly turned dark as the beast stood, casting a gigantic shadow as it covered the entire sky. The beast’s black underbelly was as wide as four basketball courts! The air was shaking as the clouds were thrown into chaos. It was an incredibly terrifying scene!

"This is most definitely not a common level-7 mutated beast, it is a level-8 at the least! With its form, it is surely faster than mine, and we will surely die at its feet!"

At that instant, he got an idea. He stomped his feet hard again and he fled onto his trail like lighting. Just as he moved approximately 50 meters, there was a loud thud followed by a level-five earthquake.

Even with Lin Feiyan in his arms, Luo Yan could reach speeds of 200 meters per second, which puts 50 meters just 0.25 seconds away from him. For an ordinary being, it was a blink of an eye, but to him, it was a distance that meant life or certain death.

Luo Yuan turned around to see what happened, and saw that the buildings by the streets had vanished and his whole line of vision was filled with the form of the giant beast at his heels. He bolted as fast as his feet would carry him! The sights were flashing by as he was like a shadow leaping across the streets, taking less than half a second at every jump. However, all his effort were to no avail as the monster continued pursuing them, it's gigantic strides making Luo Yuan’s attempts of survival more and more futile.

He glanced at the pulse generator on his left hand. It seemed increasingly impossible to escape from the beast, and there was only one way left. A very risky manoeuvre to give him a fighting chance to survive the ordeal.

Using his Will, he managed to tear off the superglue tape on his pulse generator that immediately started the time-setting.

"10!"

"9!"

"8!"

..

He was approaching the corner of the street, the time left ticking away from 5 seconds. He felt a strong gust of wind from behind him once again and leapt into the air, throwing the pulse generator as hard as he could towards the deadly predator. The pulse generator lodged itself on the creature’s gigantic body. With the help of the wind at his back, his speed was greatly increased and as he landed, he ducked behind the buildings at the corner of the street not slowing his pace.

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

"0!"

Luo Yuan counted down the timer under his breath, and a large explosion shook the area behind him. He was glad that the pulse generator was not destroyed in the blast, but hoped that his plan had succeeded with it.

As the thought crossed his mind, he saw a shadow pass over his head blocking out the sun and area around him. The was no way around but ahead where his long journey lay, but sensing danger in what was ahead, he decided to exercise caution and back track the opposite way.

As he took his first step, the giant monster of thousands of tons came crashing down upon him! The ground shook violently and many houses in the area were destroyed instantly. Countless bits of gravel and wood panelling slammed against the Will layer on Luo Yuan’s back. The layer was dying off. With the exhaustion of his Will, he could not control gather its strength anymore. With that, the last bit of his Will collapsed. A flying rock the size of a human head landed square on his back, flooring him as he spat out blood on impact. He was completely out of control with a racing car tumbling down a track, rolling a hundred meters away from where he stood. Lin Feiyan was tossed out of his arms as well.

Suddenly, two red dots were flying towards them from afar. When they first saw them, they were a few kilometers away but in the blink of an eye, they appeared right before them. They were two bullets the size of a shot putt with a flaming red aura around them. With the collision in the air, they started to feel a terrible burning sensation.

Sensing danger, the scales of the giant beast body stood up. Before it could do anything, the bullets hit the monster like two meteorites. In slow motion, as the metal bullets hit the creature's body, there was a spark explosion. Although they did not pierce the thick hide, the bullets that were harder than alloyed steel and hitting nine times faster than the speed of sound, created a few wide holes on it’s body. That did not seem to wipe out the bullet’s terrifying trajectory of kinetic energy. The residual energy rippled through the creature's body like a shock wave spreading out from the holes from the bullets.

With a shock wave of that magnitude, buildings still standing all around were all turn to rubble and dust. The giant beast let out a painful moan after the attack, and it crumbled to the ground in agony. It struggled to get to its feet again, and just as it managed to stand up, it spat out a fountain of blood and its internal organs, before falling yet again. Although the two meter-wide holes seemed to do nothing on the almost 100 meter long beast, the electromagnetic attack from the pulse generator had completely shattered its internal organs. It was a miracle that it could even struggle after that attack.
