Chapter 610: Awe And Fear (1/2)
A few moments into battle, Leon withdrew a silver needle, preparing to test his next experiment.
After he instilled a very faint trace of Nihility Law into the silver needle, he spread out his divine sense and shot the silver needle at a mutant rat's head.
Swoosh~!
The silver needle quickly shot through the air.
But before it could reach the mutant rat, the power of Nihility Law corroded the silver needle until it was exhausted, causing only the butt of the silver needle to remain, which penetrated the mutant rat's head slightly.
”As expected, the power of Nihility Law is too overbearing, huh? It'll be difficult to imbue Nihility Law into any of my attacks if it only ends up damaging my weapons,” Leon muttered with a slight frown.
He could see that the mutant rat had survived with the butt of the silver needle sticking out of its forehead.
Nevertheless, the purpose of his experiment was not to kill the mutant rat but to cure it.
”Nevermind. I shall try something else,” Leon decided.
Swoosh~!
He immediately dived into the sea of mutant rats and singled out one from the group, clutching it firmly by the neck before separating himself from the rest with a single spear swing.
Squeak! Squeak!
The captured mutant rat dangled powerlessly in Leon's grasp with its futile resistance before Leon locked onto the Wrathful Demonic Energy in its body and extracted every ounce of it.
Shortly after the energy was refined, Leon tossed the mutant rat back into the group.
Most of the mutant rats ignored it and continued rushing towards Leon in their vain attempts to hunt him down.
However, a few mutant rats paused and circled around the mutant rat that seemingly lost all traces of its berserk state, studying it curiously.
Squeak! Squeak!
The mutant rat tried to communicate.
However, in the next moment, the surrounding mutant rats immediately pounced onto it and tore the thing apart with their sharp teeth.
Within a few breathes, the mutant rat was mostly devoured by its berserk brethren, leaving nothing behind except a few bones and patches of blood.
”It's too troublesome to cure these guys. And even if I do, they just become food for their own kind, huh? This is not worth the effort,” Leon understood.
It was better to just kill them all.
Once he arrived at this conclusion, he immediately exerted his Nihility Law to the limit, forming a short-range barrier around himself and simply allowed the mutant rats to charge to their own deaths like moths drawn to the flame.
Squeak! Squeak!
The mutant rats immediately cried after charging into the Nihility Law Barrier as Leon watched their bodies disintegrated.
However, there were too many rodents for the Nihility Law Barrier to completely stop the mutant rats from breaching his defense.
”My comprehension of the Nihility Law is still a little low…” Leon muttered casually without a hint of urgency.
