My Otherworldly Shura Field

Chapter 7 One-Eyed Ape

Night had fallen, and the darkness was complete, obscuring everything. Yet, the somewhat eerie forest was far from tranquil; wild beasts roared, trees trembled, and leaves rustled and fell.

Amidst the towering mountains and deep valleys, all sorts of monstrous beasts roam freely, and terrifying, gloomy voices rise and fall in the darkness.

Deep in the forest, a soft light can be seen in the distance, flickering like a candle flame amidst the endless darkness of the night and the mountains, as if it might be extinguished at any moment.

As you get closer, you can see a huge half of a dead tree trunk, with a diameter of more than ten meters, and the whole thing is charred black.

Apart from half of the main trunk, it only has a weak branch left, but it is full of vitality. The leaves are crystal clear as if carved from green jade, and soft light diffuses from them.

"Woo..."

A gust of wind blew by, and a huge dark cloud stretched across the sky, obscuring the entire night sky and blocking out the only remaining starlight, making the mountains even darker.

"Roar!"

A ferocious roar of a demonic beast came from the depths of the forest, deafening and shaking the earth. A blurry figure fled swiftly through the trees.

Behind him was a gigantic magical beast, enormous and many times larger than an ordinary human, its entire body covered in gray fur and radiating a faint white light that shone brightly.

It's described as a gorilla, but it's not quite, because it only has one eye, which is huge, taking up a tenth of its face. When it opens and closes, it's like a golden lightning bolt flashing across the sky, sharp and intimidating.

The person fleeing at breakneck speed was none other than the vampire Lucifer, who held a deep purple longsword in his hand and moved with the speed of a cheetah. However, the enormous monster behind him was relentlessly pursuing him, its massive body leveling trees and clearing a path through the broken branches and leaves.

"Lucifer, you're only a level 15 monster, why are you running?" Chris's stunning figure flew in the sky, her pair of black bat wings spread, like a fallen angel, the darkness of the night could not conceal her noble temperament.

In fact, she could have used magic to fly, but it would have been very energy-consuming. Since there was no one in the forest anyway, she simply used the bat wings that vampires possess to reduce the energy consumption.

She flew through the air, looking down at the fleeing and chasing people and beasts below, without any intention of helping.

Because she had already provided assistance, the purple longsword in Lucifer's hand, named Purple Blade, was her personal sword. It had slain countless powerful beings, was incredibly sharp, could cut through iron like mud, and could slice through anything, comparable to a blade of space.

Unfortunately, Lucifer's level was too low to unleash the true power of the Purple Blade; in his hands, it was merely a relatively sharp longsword.

“Chris, you make it sound so easy. This one-eyed ape is a level 15 magical beast, while I’m only level 10. How can I possibly defeat it?” Lucifer shouted as he fled.

He was a vampire, faster than a cheetah, but the one-eyed ape behind him was no pushover either. It was ten steps ahead of him in a single step, and could leap dozens of meters in a single bound. Its speed was comparable to his, and he couldn't shake it off even after running for a long time.

This chase has been going on for a month. Lucifer spends every day like this, either chasing or being chased. Chris always brings some magical beasts to be his enemies.

This period was like hell for Lucifer. He was beaten black and blue by monsters every day, losing limbs. But he was a vampire with terrifying regenerative abilities. If his arm was torn off, he could reattach it in seconds and recover completely.

At first, he was in so much pain that he almost fainted, but as the number of battles increased and injuries occurred more frequently, he became numb. Even if one of his arms were cut off at this moment, he wouldn't make a sound, because he had become accustomed to the pain.

Although this hellish life left him breathless, his efforts paid off. In just one month, he had gone from a level 1 nobody to level 10, a remarkably rapid improvement.

All of this is thanks to his immortality. It was through countless brushes with death that he was able to improve so quickly. If it were anyone else, they would have been a cold corpse long ago.

There's only one reason why Lucifer is pushing himself so hard: **, girls, long white legs. He wants to become stronger so he can pick up girls. This is the belief and will of a couch potato.

By the way, as Lucifer's level increased, Chris's power also recovered, rising from level 20 to level 30. The rate of level increase can be divided into several stages.

The progress rate is not slow in the first 30 levels, but it slows down significantly from level 30 to 40. After level 40, it only gets slower and slower, and progress becomes very difficult. After level 50, it becomes as slow as a snail.

Chris was able to recover to level 30 within a month because she had already reached level 90, so her leveling speed was naturally very fast.

However, Lucifer's improvement speed was somewhat abnormal. Although he had been undergoing grueling training for the past month, it all depended on Lucifer's talent and hard work. If it were an ordinary person, even a month of grueling training would only result in a level increase of 5 at most, but Lucifer directly increased to level 10. Even Chris had to admit that he had such talent.

He created a monster that not only had unique skills, but also leveled up at an abnormally fast rate.

She was already looking forward to seeing how far Lucifer would go in the future!

"Damn it, do you think I'm afraid of you?"

"I, Lucifer, will fight you to the death."

Lucifer suddenly stopped, turned around and pounced. He had been chased by the one-eyed ape for a long time, and he had had enough. Anyway, he wouldn't die, so what was there to be afraid of? Let's do it.

If he fails, there's still Chris! She wouldn't just stand by and watch herself be eaten by the one-eyed ape!

Although he is a vampire and possesses an immortal body, he is not absolutely immortal. If he were truly eaten and digested, he would indeed die.

Immortality is based on the premise that the body has not disappeared and can recover through self-healing, not that one is truly immortal.

"Roar!"

Faced with Lucifer's sudden counterattack, the one-eyed ape was not to be outdone. It roared, deafening and awe-inspiring. It was a level 15 magical beast, how could it be afraid of a creature of a lower level than itself?

"Damn, is this sonic power? My eardrums are about to burst!" Lucifer suddenly stopped, his hands tightly covering his ears.

The one-eyed ape's roar was like a sonic attack, making him feel as if his head was being torn apart. This was not physical pain, but mental pain.
