Mercenary Harem in Murim Novel

Fortunately, he didn’t have to waste any more time. The analysis was done and the antidote for the mental corruption was sent to him immediately through the Main Cube.

And he also finished analyzing the enemy’s secret as well as her weakness. His computing speed increased as he used lightning Qi to boost his nerves, and he smirked. His Nanites used the information sent by Chiaki to render the fog’s effect useless.

"It’s my turn now." He said as his hands began to glow in blue.

Electricity crackled around him. His hair slowly rose and turned white. The atmosphere around him changed as if he was a human lightning bolt, dispelling the fog.

He disappeared from where he stood with a flash and reappeared behind his enemy.

"Let’s finish this outside."

"How..." The girl couldn’t finish her word.

Before she could do anything, a fist hit her face and knocked her down to the out side of the wall. A sonic boom and shockwave spread out as she hit the ground, creating a crater and shocking the humans below.

"Sorry! Continue your evacuation. I will deal with the enemy." Leo said as he looked below and disappeared.

He moved as fast as lightning and caught up to the flying woman. She was trying to eat something from her pocket, and he knew it was her secret weapon as she was the type to power up using drugs.

He didn’t let her finish it and grabbed her neck. He squeezed it and threw her to the ground, making her hit it even harder.

Boom!

A large crater formed, and Leo looked down on her with cold eyes.

"You don’t know who you’re messing with, right? But it’s okay. I’m not a very patient person."

He raised his leg. Lightning Qi gathered around him, making his skin crackle with electricity. He stomped his leg down, creating a flash and a loud bang that destroyed the ground. The lightning rose to the sky, creating a large pillar of thunder that could be seen for miles around.

The woman’s body was burned to the crisp. She turned black and unrecognizable, but Leo still detected her brain waves. It was still alive and recovering.

"How is she not dead yet?"

He asked himself. He knew that he didn’t hold back at all. That attack could even kill anything with one hit. He made sure of it.

But somehow, the woman was still alive and regenerating.

"She’s like a cockroach."

Based on his analysis, she used the surrounding malice, a negative emotion in Qi form, to fuel her regeneration and refill her Qi.

Now that it was stopped because he brought her to a place where no one was around and depleted the surrounding Qi by using a big attack, he thought her regeneration would stop.

But her durability was more than what he had expected. He used a lot of Qi in his attack to keep her from regenerating, but she was still able to survive with her own natural regeneration.

He was at a loss as to how to defeat her, but he didn’t have time to ponder on it. He just had to find the way while keeping her in this place and not letting her go back to the Capital.

"Let’s see who can hold on longer. Me or you. Chiaki, analyze the reaction as I keep striking her. You have a small-Coco around here, right?"

"I am doing it right now, Leader. Please keep sending me more data."

"I will."

Lightning gathered around his hand, crackling and burning the air. His eyes turned white, and the woman could feel his intent to kill. She knew that this wasn’t the end, but she didn’t know if she could win against him.

And as she was able to move her finger slightly.

Bam!

Leo’s fist struck her head, and she knew that this wasn’t her lucky day.

***

Boom!

A thunderous sound could be heard from the Capital with occasional flash of light.

"What is that?"

The citizens looked up to the sky and saw a bolt of lightning strike the ground.

It was not a normal lightning bolt. It was a blue one, and it seemed to be controlled by someone as it moved around the sky. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Maybe the former Murim Alliance Leader, famous for his thunder Qi, had returned and was fighting against the enemy.

But it wasn’t true.

"I think I saw a young man with white hair on top of the wall saying he would fight the enemy earlier."

"That’s definitely not the former leader. He’s too young."

The people whispered as they tried to figure out who that person was. When they thought that they had seen him somewhere, they couldn’t put their finger on it.

But at that moment, a woman with blonde hair and another one with glasses arrived. The blonde looked smug and happy while the other one seemed tired and a bit annoyed. They were Sherly and Jessica.

"Hey, that’s Leader, right? He’s fighting with the enemy. And look! The lightning is striking a few times. It seems like he’s not ending it anytime soon. Ah, this is bad! That’s a lot of lightning!"

"It’s pretty strange." Jessica narrowed her eyes, "If that’s our Leader, he should be able to end the fight in a few minutes. But it looks like he’s having trouble. The enemy must be either durable or..."

"Has an insane regeneration." Sherly finished her sentence, "I think it’s the combination of both. Leader is having a hard time fighting because the enemy can regenerate even when he’s attacking. That’s bad, huh?"

"That’s right. I hope Leader can win soon." The secretary said with a frown.

She knew that Leo couldn’t fight forever, and he still had to plan how to evacuate the citizens and destroy the Supreme Evil’s followers’ plan.

"Most probably he’s waiting for Chiaki’s analysis regarding the enemy. From the information the Leader sent us in real time, the enemy he fought is the revived Head. She has a good regeneration and can replenish her Qi using negative emotions. I can only hope that the analysis will provide something to stop her. And more importantly..."

"More importantly?" Sherly looked at Jessica with her eyebrows raised.

Jessica turned her head to her and took off her glasses.

"We still don’t know how Head got revived and whether she could revive again or not. Our plan might be useless if Head could be revived like that. It means the enemy can turn the citizens they kill or capture into human puppets as long as Head is alive. This is troublesome."

"That’s bad news."

"Indeed." Jessica nodded. "But let’s continue evacuating. The faster we move them, the faster we can work. Anya right now is laying a trap for any puppets or human coming toward us. I hope this plan will work."

"Good! I’ll help with the evacuation then!" The blonde smiled and turned to the citizens. "Everyone! We have to move fast and go to the next city! Let’s do it quickly and orderly!"

The citizens were still scared and confused, but they knew they had no choice but to move.

Meanwhile, the fight, or rather the massacre that Leo conducted continued. He kept striking the woman with his lightning and crushed her body.

It didn’t end. She kept regenerating and moved. But when her muscle, no matter how small it was, made any kind of movement, Leo immediately struck her.

He did it so many times already that he didn’t even bother to count anymore. If he had to do it again, he wouldn’t hesitate. He had no mercy for the enemy who could hurt his people.

At the same time, Chiaki was analyzing the enemy’s Qi and how to stop it. And then...

"Leader, stop striking her with your Qi."

Chiaki’s voice rang in his ear, and Leo stopped his attack. His fist stopped a centimeter from the woman’s face.

"What do you mean? If I don’t keep striking her, she will keep regenerating."

"That’s the thing, Leader." Chiaki’s voice turned grim, "You’re just wasting your Qi. And she’s getting used to your Qi. Her main capability is her adaptability and absorption."

"She’s getting used to my Qi?" Leo’s eyes widened as he looked at the charred woman. "Isn’t Adaptability Eyes’ main ability?"

If he thought about it calmly, there were a few hints that he should have noticed. First of all, Head had two brains. Whose brain was the other one, he dismissed it by thinking that it might be one of her strange features.

But now, after hearing Chiaki’s information, he had another thought.

"You... You’re merging with Eyes." He said and narrowed his eyes.

Not just a normal merge, but one that allowed Head to inherit Eyes’ ability. Now that explained why she could absorb and adapt to his lightning Qi so easily.

And with her adaptability, she would keep getting stronger the more he attacked her.

This was a troublesome situation.

"Chiaki, did you finish analyzing her body? How could I kill her?" He asked and took out his gun, pointing his nozzle at Head.

Slowly, her body began to regenerate.

"There is no time!" He exclaimed and pulled the trigger.

Bang!

His bullet lodged into her head, once again destroying her brain and making it explode.

She didn’t die right away.

"What a monster."
