Apocalypse - Evil Shelter System

Chapter 336 Like a Moth to a Flame

Moreover, Alex could clearly see that the tendril was voraciously consuming his vitality and also absorbing his blood.

"Damn you!" Alex roared in anger, then drew his sword and slashed at the Mothman.

However, the Mothman seemed to have no intention of defending itself; it simply spread its wings to withstand the blow.

Clang...

The sound of metal clashing rang out as Alex's laser sword was knocked away, and a massive force of recoil followed.

"Are this guy's bones as tough as steel?" Alex cursed inwardly, but he knew that if he didn't deal with the Mothman soon, it wouldn't be long before he turned into a corpse.

After all, the Mothman's tendrils were too numerous and moved too quickly. He could only fight while retreating, looking for a way to escape the danger.

Swoosh...

A green tendril suddenly lashed out at Alex's face. He couldn't dodge in time, and three bloody marks appeared instantly on his face.

Alex roared in fury, drew his laser sword again, and swung it towards the Mothman's neck.

Ding...

The Mothman's neck was as sturdy as steel, and even the laser sword couldn't make a mark on it.

Your journey continues at empire

Alex was furious, especially since he could smell the blood—Mothman was clearly devouring his blood. Moreover, it seemed that Mothman had a particular craving for his blood, even appearing a bit greedy.

"Damn it!" Alex's face darkened with anger. If he didn't stop this creature soon, he would surely die of blood loss.

Facing such a formidable boss, Alex felt a sense of despair.

Meanwhile, the Mothman became even more excited. It opened its mouth and sprayed several more clouds of green smoke.

Alex's pupils dilated, realizing it was about to release poison gas.

Without a second thought, Alex turned and ran. However, the range of the poison gas was too wide, Alex couldn't escape it.

"Damn beast!" Alex cursed furiously, then suddenly turned around, swinging his laser sword through the poisonous mist.

Swoosh...

A streak of blue light flashed, instantly dispersing the green fog.

Alex sighed in relief and continued to flee. However, the Mothman's speed was astonishing; in the blink of an eye, it was in front of Alex, extending its long tendrils to ensnare him.

"Get off me!" Alex bellowed, punching at the Mothman while simultaneously somersaulting in mid-air to dodge the tendril.

Soon, Alex's body was covered in dense wounds, his blood staining his clothes red. This scene only seemed to delight the Mothman more, as it controlled countless tendrils, relentlessly piercing into Alex's body.

[Ding, you are in danger. Would you like to equip the golden armor?]

The system's prompt made Alex pause, then he chose to equip the armor without hesitation.

Click, click, click...

With Alex's mental command, a thick layer of golden armor materialized over his body. Once Alex was armored, the green mist was finally blocked from reaching him.

Phew...

Seeing this, Alex breathed a sigh of relief and then fixed his gaze on the creature.

"Damn you, even if it costs me my life today, I will kill you!" Alex said fiercely, bearing a grudge.

At this moment, the Mothman seemed to sense the threat and frenziedly drove all its tendrils to attack Alex.

Bang, bang, bang...

Tendril after tendril lashed fiercely against Alex, causing his body to continuously shake, almost knocking him to the ground.

Yet Alex remained as unmovable as a mountain, chuckling coldly, "Haha, you creature, are utterly foolish!"

With that, Alex grabbed his laser sword and charged directly at the Mothman.

Clang!

Sparks flew as Alex's laser sword struck Mothman's tendril, creating a resounding clang of metal on metal. Mothman's tendrils were extremely hard; even with all his strength, Alex couldn't make a mark on them.

[Ding, would the host like to spend one thousand apocalypse coins to purchase the Heavenly Sword?]

A sudden prompt from the system rang out.

"The Heavenly Sword?" Hearing the system's prompt, Alex furrowed his brow slightly, then a huge sword appeared in his mind. This giant sword was pitch-black, emanating a chilling, eerie glow, with its edge seeming to twinkle with stars, radiating terrifying, heart-palpitating fluctuations.

Moreover, crucially, this sword felt very familiar to him.

"Could it be this one?" Alex muttered to himself, then without any hesitation confirmed, "Purchase!"

Whoosh!

In an instant, a white light shone on Alex's forehead, and not long after, the Heavenly Sword appeared in his hand.

Looking at the sword in his hand, Alex's lips curled into a slight smile. Today, even if it was like a moth to a flame, he was determined to slay all these creatures in front of him.

Then, Alex lifted the sword, pointing it directly at the Mothman, his eyes filled with a fierce killing intent.
