Chapter 434 - 309: Wolf-headed Monster, Black Scale Double Blade, Flower Knight (Part 2)

[In the distance, fog surges, and the sound of wolf howls rises and falls.]

["Screech—"]

[Luo Yi comes to his senses, five fingers like iron hooks clutching into the monster’s corpse, muscles taut as his arms suddenly exert force, tearing off the entire black-scaled giant claw.]

[He tightly grips the monster’s claw blade and attempts a swing, the wind-breaking sound sharp as a ghostly wail. The black scales that originally required full strength to tear off now seemed as fragile as paper in front of this claw blade.]

[A cold glint flashes in Luo Yi’s eyes—the monster’s scale armor defense is extremely perverse, but its claws can easily cut through the same kind of defense!]

["Next, Miss Eve, please stay close to me!"]

[Luo Yi reverses his hand and straps the other claw blade to his waist; he’s heading to the classroom building to find Miss Delilah.]

["Yes." Eve’s eyes are filled with a sense of security; in the fog, she can only rely on her boyfriend, Luo Yi, deeply grateful for the decision she made months ago.]

[Luo Yi’s cultivation grove is not far from the classroom building; along the way, the two encounter more wolf-headed monsters, which Luo Yi beheads in a few strokes. Roughly comparing the strength, it seems only equivalent to the "First Blood Knight"?]

[And without scale armor?]

[Luo Yi squints, the sense enhanced by Source Blood capturing more details in the fog; those wandering shadows, though similarly have wolf heads and human bodies, their surface is covered with ordinary gray-brown fur, far less oppressive than the black-scaled monster.]

[It seems... the black scales are some kind of mutant individual? Or a leader?]

[No time to think deeply, Luo Yi kicks off, rushing out as his boots grind against the stone slab, his figure shoots like an arrow into the thick fog. Ahead, three gray-haired wolf monsters tear at a guard’s corpse, filthy saliva dripping between their fangs.]

[Luo Yi doesn’t even slow down—]

[The claw blade slices through the fog, leaving three trails of ghostly blue cold light; the foremost wolf monster doesn’t even have time to raise its head before its skull flies skyward. The second turns, its throat pierced, as the black scale claw blade juts out from the back of its neck, bringing with it a spray of foul blood.]

[Luo Yi doesn’t stop, continues charging towards the "voices."]

[The black blood on the claw blade drags a sinister trail in the fog, several more gray wolf monsters pounce forth but fail to even get close before being shredded into pieces by the fierce claw winds.]

["Too weak... Completely not at the same level as the black-scaled monster!"]

[Within Luo Yi’s sight, all wolf-headed monsters are slain.]

[Nearby, wolf-headed monsters attracted by the blood seem shocked by this scene, hesitate a moment before muttering among themselves, then each carefully retreat, swiftly escaping, disappearing into the fog.]

[—Do these monsters have wisdom!?]

[Luo Yi gathers Source Blood, his body and senses comprehensively enhanced, keenly hearing the wolf-headed monsters scatter and flee, with no joy in his heart but a sudden dread.]

[Just then, faint sounds of fighting come from upstairs, accompanied by a familiar voice—"Get away! You filthy beasts!"]

[Delilah’s voice!]

[Luo Yi can’t wait for his young girlfriend Eve, immediately heading upstairs.]

[The three have known each other since childhood, Miss Delilah coexists with them.]

[They are essentially family who’ve lived together from childhood to adulthood, Luo Feng already considers Miss Delilah as the missing—sister.]

[Thus, Luo Yi’s reason for protecting Miss Delilah isn’t purely out of a duty to guard but is based on a more complex emotional attachment—"The Angel who brings him apples," "The sister who gives him food," "The sister who needs his protection."]

[Thus, Luo Yi voluntarily protects Miss Delilah, and this is also Miss Delilah’s highest understanding of "loyalty," as a cold machine once aware of being deceived is prone to losing control in some unknown corner.]

[Sincerity—is the ultimate skill!]

[At this moment, on the corridor of Lily High School’s classroom building, blood streams down the steps like a creek.]

[Severed limbs scattered everywhere, including torn-off arms and half-chewed heads, along with several corpses still tightly clutching broken weapons—those are Lily High School’s "First Blood" sports students.]

[Whereas their physique, usually crushing ordinary people, is now torn apart like rag dolls.]

[Untrained soldiers who have not seen blood... in the fog, with limited vision, even holding a sharp blade one-on-one, absolutely cannot maintain "calm" enough to kill an ordinary wolf-headed monster.]

[Not to mention that the wolf-headed monsters come in groups of three to five.]

[Almost a massacre.]

["Even the instructor is dead..."]

[Luo Yi’s gaze sweeps across an upturned corpse—that of a retired "Third Blood" instructor from the army, his chest wholly split open, his eyes still open, his gray-white pupils frozen in disbelief.]

[The fatal injury is in the throat.]

[Without a handy sharp blade, the instructor who regularly taught everyone to possess a "Heart of the Brave" lost all courage to fight amidst the gentle confines of Lily High School.]

[Despite Luo Yi not having made a breakthrough, remaining in the Third Blood stage of Martial Skills and Strength, his actual combat skills do not match the seasoned instructor, yet he survived this catastrophe.]

[A flash of thought in Luo Yi’s mind serves as a warning.]

[From the end of the third floor, the sound of heavy impact repeatedly reaches him, spurring Luo Yi to quicken his pace.]

[Turning the corner, Luo Yi sees—]

[Twelve wolf-headed monsters barricading the door of a classroom, their robust arms taking turns battering the door panel, splintering wood chips fly.]

[Inside the classroom, the abrasive sound of tables and chairs braced against the door is ear-piercing, along with the suppressed sobs of students.]

[Actually, the twelve wolf-headed monsters have already eaten their fill, a large gap is broken in the windows and main door, exposing all students to the monsters’ claws; only in the fog do dozens of students huddle in a corner, unnoticed that the wolf-headed monsters haven’t entered...]
