Chapter 26 – Trinity Soul Demon

Volume 3

The Black-Robed Man looked at Star's receding figure, then turned back to Wen Yu and asked in a trembling voice, "What… was that just now?"

There was no need to think about it. The face hidden beneath the Black Robe had to look absolutely awful.

"That?"

Wen Yu calmly fired his Gun at Wan Ping and went on, "Your nightmare."

The Black-Robed Man instantly fell silent.

Just from its size alone, anyone could tell that Star in Battle Form possessed terrifying combat power. By the Black-Robed Man's calculations, Fake One-Eye would not be a match for that Giant Dragon.

During their brief exchange earlier, the Black-Robed Man had never taken Star seriously, nor had he had any means of obtaining a sample of Star's body tissue. Now, bitterness welled up in his mouth, and regret surged through him.

This is bad…

That was the first thought that appeared in the Black-Robed Man's mind.

But Wen Yu still felt uneasy. After all, Star and One-Eye had never fought head-on before, and no one knew where the limits of One-Eye's Life-And-Death Combat Ability lay. Wen Yu could not be certain that Star would absolutely beat One-Eye.

If Star lost, then things would really become troublesome.

…

Looking at the two people in front of him, Wen Yu calmly raised Throb Wild Song in his hand, but said nothing.

The two before him should both have Level 4 strength. In a one-on-one fight, Wen Yu naturally feared neither of them. But if they attacked together, that would be a little troublesome.

Wen Yu was not naive enough to think the two of them posed no threat to him at all.

According to the original plan, after Wen Yu and his two pets split up, Wen Yu would hold these two down while One-Eye and Star each dealt with one Mutant Beast.

So while the people opposite him were hesitating and feeling uneasy, the other two battlefields should be slowly reaching a conclusion.

Wen Yu was in no rush. Not in the slightest.

Unfortunately, perhaps Wen Yu's plan was too obvious. The Black-Robed Man first looked at Wen Yu, then turned to look at the two dust-choked areas on either side. He said directly to Wan Ping beside him, "You hold him here. I'll go support Simba and the Sacred Beast."

Seeing Wan Ping nod, the Black-Robed Man first used Teleportation to dodge the incoming bullet from Wild Song, then vanished outright.

Seeing the Black-Robed Man's Skill, Wen Yu raised an eyebrow.

"Teleportation? What a useful Skill."

With that move available, Wen Yu lost all desire to chase and entangle him.

"It's all right, I suppose."

Seeing that Wen Yu had no intention of pursuing the Black-Robed Man, Wan Ping nodded. Then, as he slowly unfastened the Black Robe on his body, he smiled at Wen Yu and said, "Oh, right, Wen Yu. Lin Li and my little brother still haven't said hello to you."

…

Looking at Wan Ping's slightly eerie smile, Wen Yu could not help but frown.

When Wan Ping had been wearing the hood just now, his behavior had seemed perfectly normal. But as Wan Ping slowly undid the buttons of his long Black Robe, a sense of danger washed over Wen Yu.

At the same time, Wan Ping's voice rang out again.

"Actually, when you ran away carrying that dog, we already saw you."

"That dog had a grudge against you, right?"

Seeing Wen Yu nod, Wan Ping continued, "Strictly speaking, my little brother took a shot meant for you. So you can also be considered one of the killers who murdered my little brother!"

"Think whatever you want, because I'm definitely going to butcher you today!"

The moment Wen Yu finished speaking, he immediately began firing rapidly at Wan Ping.

Wan Ping watched the bullets sweeping toward him, the corner of his mouth pulling into a faint smile. Then an utterly bizarre voice rang from his lips.

"You! Actually! Want to kill me again!"

Then, the non-physical bullets that had been flying toward Wan Ping all stopped in midair before slowly dissipating.

At the same time, Wan Ping's Black Robe had fallen to the ground!

…

Looking at Wan Ping standing before him with his upper body bare, Wen Yu's eye twitched violently twice.

His entire body was smooth and blank. And by smooth, it meant like a sheet of white paper-no hair, no navel, not even the normal features of a human body remained.

Only two horrifying faces were left on the left and right sides of his chest.

Wen Yu remembered those two faces.

One was called Wan An. The other was Lin Li.

At that moment, the face of Wan An on the left side of his chest slowly opened its eyes.

The face was deathly pale, with several livor mortis patches mottling the skin. Judging from its condition, quite some time must have passed after Wan An's death before Wan Ping transferred that face onto his own body.

As the bizarre face slowly opened its eyes, Wan Ping's voice kept shifting.

One moment, it was Wan Ping's original flat voice. The next, it became slightly shrill, like a vengeful ghost.

"This one."

Those two short words sounded as though they had been shouted by two different voices at once.

"Is my younger brother, Wan An! Come on, say hello to an old friend."

The moment Wan Ping finished speaking, Wan An's eyes on his left chest opened completely. A red beam shot out from Wan An's eyes, firing straight toward Wen Yu.

It was fast, but it did not exceed Wen Yu's reaction limit.

He twisted his body slightly and dodged Wan An's attack. At the same time, his hands did not pause for an instant, unleashing a dense barrage of bullets at Wan Ping!

Unfortunately, it had absolutely no effect!

The moment the bullets entered the three-meter radius around Wan Ping, they simply dispersed!

Looking at the calm Wan Ping before him, and at Wan An's face that kept letting out violent roars, Wen Yu knitted his brows tightly and asked Wan Ping in a serious tone,

"What the hell are you?"

…

Name: Wan Ping.

Class: Trinity Soul Demon. (A trinity. He must devour two other Class Holders before he can fully unleash the terrifying potential of the Trinity Soul Demon Class!)

Skill One: Soul Devour (S-Rank, Active Ability): After activation, devours the corpse of a Class Holder and completely inherits that Class Holder's Physical Attribute. At the same time, the face of the devoured individual will appear on the user's body. Note: If the devoured individual died while harboring resentment, the power gained by the Trinity Soul Demon will increase greatly, but there is a risk of backlash! A maximum of two Class Holders can be devoured!

Skill Two: Evil Spirit Wave (A-Rank, Active Ability): The eyes and mouth of the devoured individuals on the user's body release bizarre energy waves. These energy waves deal almost no physical damage, but carry powerful corrosive and mental shock effects.

Skill Three: Soul Force Field (SS Rank, passive Skill): The terrifying power radiating from the entire body makes the Host completely unafraid of ranged attacks. Whenever a ranged attack enters within three meters of the body, the terrifying force-field energy will directly subject the attack to Annihilation, though it consumes stamina depending on the strength of the attack!

Skill Four: ??????

For a Hidden Class at the level of Trinity Soul Demon, every Skill gained through Promotion would definitely be closely related to the Class itself.

That was the terrifying part of high-level Hidden Classes!

And the reason Wan Ping had been able to rise to Level 4 at such an incredible speed had everything to do with the ability Soul Devour!

First, he devoured Wan An's corpse. Then he devoured Lin Li.

And judging from his current state, the backlash had clearly been severe. That was enough to prove just how much hatred Lin Li had carried in his heart when he died!

What had just blocked Wen Yu's bullets was Wan Ping's Soul Force Field. And the Trinity Soul Demon had one Class characteristic: its stamina was three times that of a normal Class Holder!

Of course, Wen Yu knew none of this-just as Wan Ping knew nothing about Wen Yu's abilities!
