67 A lovely day to die (1/2)

Tap tap tap tap…SLASH!!!

The head of the fifth 3rd tier abnormal separated from it's shoulder but before it could fall to the ground, I picked up and threw it to a dark corner in the alley before I did the same with the body.

I then climbed the wall and melted back into the darkness. Watching everything as the 'Night Vision' function of the Advanced Vision Skill sucked the mana out of my body at a rapid rate and I had to stop it as soon as I reached the top in case I waste any more mana in it.

I had to use it throughout the night after all.

Without it, I would not be as deadly as I am in the dark.

I then watched with faint sense of amusement as the 1st and 2nd tier abnormals came to the alley and started looking around in puzzlement.

Whenever I lured a 3rd tier abnormal, I realized that the rest of the group followed it instinctively.

Maybe they did that because it was powerful. Maybe they did it because it was tall. Maybe they did it subconsciously. Or maybe they thought it would lead them to food.

I have no idea why they do so. I just know that they do it.

I did not know it the first time.

Thus, when I killed the 3rd tier abnormal, I was not ready for the 30 abnormals who followed after it.

The darkness in the alley where I had decapitated it was the only reason I did not become their target instantly.

And by the time they came close, I was already on top of the building.

But I was not able to dispose of the body which gave enough energy for the rise in advancement of 8 1st tier abnormals who grew relatively large in size as soon as they finished consuming it's mean.

The evolving procedure of an abnormal is not pretty.

I imagine that the way a 2nd tier abnormal evolve into a 3rd tier abnormal would be even worse. I had no desire to know.

Thankfully, consuming it's corpse didn't gave rise to any more 3rd tier abnormal.

But still, it's something I needed to be careful about.

I looked at the 5 3rd tier crystals in my hand and smiled. Exchanging 5 3rd tier crystals might bring me 30-45 2nd tier crystals.

I threw them inside the spatial ring for now.

No business while fighting.

I moved to where I assumed the 6th 3rd tier abnormal was. Only three were left now. After that, I could let myself loose and their weaker counterparts and massacre them to my heart's desire.

Just as I jumped to the next building, I caught the sight of something in my peripheral vision.

I stopped dead on my tracks and looked in the direction where the light had come from.

In the distance, where Gaurav and his team were fighting with the last bunch of abnormals in the block.

'Was that my imagination?' I wondered as I paid close attention to that area for some time and saw it again.

'There it is.' Lily said as I saw the red flash in the middle of the street once again.

'There's definitely something down there.' I mused and changed my direction to check this new anomaly instead of dealing with the last 3 3rd tier abnormals.

Later on, I would thank the gods for this choice of mine.

'There's something weird about that abnormal.' I thought as I watched it stumble it's way to the nearest alley where the abnormal was being lured in.

'Of course. It's eyes are glowing after all. I don't think I've ever seen something like that before.' Lily said.
