Chapter 405: 405

Facing the direction which Lu Shu had disappeared into, everyone was both shocked and confused . It did not make any sense why a timid slacker would suddenly transform into such a fearless warrior .

But his speed was not too fast as to arouse any suspicion about his “Class E” strength-type abilities . At the very least, Evan felt that he could have been even faster .

However, his movement earlier was just awesome! He had managed to evade the gargoyles’ attack, capture an enemy with impressive accuracy, and then retreat unharmed!

The fleeing foreign beauty was pleasantly surprised by Lu Shu’s action, which soon spun the situation out of control like an unbridled wild horse…

The twist caught everyone off guard . No one knew where Lu Shu was nor his plan, only Meng Jingchan was positive that he must be hiding somewhere and using his magical golden liquid to consume the gargoyle .

She also knew that he would probably make his appearance again after around half an hour…

The truth was Lu Shu was not a hero at all, he was simply interested in the gargoyle itself! In fact, he had cleared all gargoyles in the region in ten hours last night . Currently, he was genuinely cheerful for the visible expansion of his divine water…

In the meantime, everyone else took it as Lu Shu being engaged in a life-and-death struggle with the monster . After he had given a head start,other members of the group were passively forced to contribute as well .

Strict conformity was often unreasonable .

Clenching his teeth, Evan flashed his sword and charged to the front . Despite his urge to make a proper self-introduction to the pretty lady, that he was from the Phoenix Society of North America, there was no time for this .

Following behind, other Metahumans were already showing their best prowess . A giant flame suddenly started burning on Meng Jingchan’s palm, which immediately began to continuously shrink .

When it was condensed into a fiery bead of extremely high temperature and pressure, Meng Jingchan hurled it towards the gargoyles, and the bead instantly exploded with incredible power .

In the blink of an eye, the gargoyles’ formation was breached . Seizing the opportunity, Evan slashed hard at the chest of a plunging gargoyle, and the outburst of his immense strength immediately disemboweled the monster!

However, a gargoyle’s only weakness was its heart . Sadly, Evan had missed it!

Seeing that the number of helpers was double that of the gargoyles, those fleeing for their lives soon joined the fight . Though soulless, the gargoyles’ teamwork was seamless .

After a few failed attempts, to everyone’s surprise, the monsters changed their attacking techniques and started hovering in the sky, awaiting their chances .

Every now and then, a few gargoyles would suddenly plummet to assault the weaker individuals, all while avoiding Evan with their best abilities . Meanwhile, Evan was diverted by three gargoyles above him, unable to provide any support for his team members .

The gargoyles were grinning from ear to ear in sinister mockery, and even Evan was forced into a passive situation .

At the moment, the two parties came to a standstill . In spite of the clear advantage in numbers, the humans were powerless in the face of the gargoyles’ aggressive approach in the sky . Besides, they could hardly be harmed by the Metahumans’ attacks .

As time slowly tickled by, anxiety grew in Evan’s and other people’s hearts . They now regretted their impulsive decision to risk their own safety for strangers’ lives .

The gargoyles appeared to have unlimited energy . On the bright side, there were no more gargoyles being triggered, though only Meng Jingchan knew the reason was because Lu Shu had cleared the area…

Just when everybody was desperate about breaking through the predicament, Lu Shu suddenly returned to the battlefield!

He was seen dashing back to the site from behind a random rock, and the gargoyles immediately ceased their attack at the sight of the new face .

Nonetheless, in the next instant, Lu Shu leaped up towards a gargoyle . Despite its best effort at avoiding Lu Shu by climbing higher, it was too late . In a split second, Lu Shu had already caught its lower leg, dragging it down…

It was way too quick . He took less than ten seconds from running back, to capturing a gargoyle . Stunned, a person commented, “Why does he appear to be more and more experienced?”

The gargoyles looked shocked too, as though they were never created to deal with such situations…

Then, Lu Shu disappeared again, swinging the gargoyle in his grip…

Evan, “…”

Gargoyles, “…”

“From Evan Walsh’s distress, +299…”

Apparently, it was an atrocious battle during which casualties were possible anytime, but there was a tinge of ridiculousness and surreality in the air… There must be something wrong with this world…

The girl who was saved was always concerned about Lu Shu throughout the entire duration of the fight . After Lu Shu hauled the gargoyle away, neither the former nor the latter returned . So, did he win or lose? Just when she was wondering, Lu Shu came back and put up the exact same show again…

But this time she was less worried, at least she was assured that the boy could defeat the monster by himself . As for why he chose to run, maybe he did not want to be surrounded by a horde of gargoyles, the girl tried to explain Lu Shu’s inexplicable behaviors…

As a result, people were fighting hard against the gargoyles while thinking about Lu Shu . At the moment, they no longer looked down upon the Class E Lu Shu . His impressive skills ranked him as one of the top in the group, but of course, below Evan .

He could not shake Evan’s all-powerful image in the team . After all, no one witnessed how on earth Lu Shu managed to exterminate the gargoyles, so his capabilities remained unknown . On the other hand, Evan’s every sword movement was seen, and admired .

Meanwhile, one fewer gargoyle meant less pressure and more probable counterattacks .

Another half an hour had passed . Like a deal, Lu Shu appeared again and lugged away another gargoyle…

Evan shouted loudly behind his back, “Stay! We can definitely win with you here…”

In other words, instead of weakening team gargoyles’ total power one by one, it was time for a complete reverse!

But before he could finish his sentence, Lu Shu was gone for the third time…

What the!
