Mercenary Harem in Murim Novel

Usually, people die when their brain was destroyed, but Head was different. She had two brains.

Now the problem was...

Bang!

Leo destroyed the other brain, which was located near her throat.

Even when it was destroyed, and the proof of its destruction was scattered all over the place, Head was still regenerating.

She couldn’t die no matter what he did.

"Chiaki, how to kill her? There has to be a way."

"I am currently analyzing it, Leader. Please keep her in that place and keep attacking. Don’t let her go back to the Capital or the enemy will use her body as a sacrifice to revive the Supreme Evil. I am trying to find a way to kill her without giving the enemy an advantage to use her."

Strangely, Chiaki’s voice sounded nervous, as if she was struggling to find something. Leo decided to trust her and continue creating holes into Head’s body without stopping.

When he needed to reload, he used the Photon Sword to cut her body to pieces while reloading his handgun with a new battery. The sword could cut through anything and burn the enemy’s body with the laser beam inside it.

With this, her regeneration was slowed down.

"Change of tactic. I will cut you into pieces and make sure you won’t be able to regenerate." Leo muttered and continued slashing.

In the Hallowed Insect’s main base, the puppeteer was confused and nervous. She had researched Head since she knew that she was going to be the next target, and she knew that Head’s ability was amazing and hard to defeat.

But she scratched all of these plans. A new factor, revival, had come into play, and she didn’t know how to handle it. Her gaze turned toward the lump of flesh she put into a clear tube on the corner of the infirmary. She had dissected and analyzed it, and she knew that the brain contained a lot of information and power.

And beside that tube was a human’s body belonging to the first Supreme Evil’s follower that the Hallowed Insect had ever caught, Tang Jiuyang.

"I have no other choice."

Rising from her seat, she approached the tube. There was a button in front of it, and she pressed it. The button opened the lid. And without hesitation, she slit the man’s throat and killed him in one smooth movement.

Strange dark fog rose from his body. This might be the Malice, the evil emotions that Supreme Evil used as energy to revive himself.

As soon as the fog appeared, she closed the tube again and vacuumed it. Just as she had expected beforehand, the fog somehow didn’t get sucked even when all air inside was sucked away. It stayed around the tube, and she looked at it with her eyes shining.

"It worked differently from normal smoke. It’s closer to something mythical instead of scientific." She muttered as she crossed her arms.

While the fog couldn’t be sucked, it somehow stopped inside the tube and got suspended in its movement. It couldn’t escape from the vacuum into the outside, and it didn’t affect her either. Also, for some reason it couldn’t move.

She knew that this was the Malice and it was created by the Supreme Evil. It was a mysterious power that no one had ever seen before.

And...

"I’ve found it."

After sacrificing one of her experimental subjects, she finally saw a way to kill Head once and for all without letting her Malice return and become a fuel for Supreme Evil’s revival material. She quickly returned to her seat where more than 10 hologram screens opened and began to analyze and compile the data she had received.

"This is the answer."

She smiled and pressed a button on her communication device.

"Leader, please cooperate with me. I will send mini-Coco that way in 3 seconds. Before that, can you cut her up nicely so that each piece can fit into its mouth?"

"Hoh, finally. Good job, Chiaki."

Chiaki could hear the genuine joy in Leo’s voice, and she nodded as she pressed the button.

At that moment, a mini-Coco appeared beside Leo. From the camera connected to it, she could see him cutting Head like a piece of meat. It was done before she even blinked, and the mini-Coco opened its mouth.

Head’s body parts got sucked into it. The metal toy’s body became slightly bigger as it digested Head’s body, and it became bigger.

"It’s working!" Chiaki exclaimed, and Leo looked at the mini-Coco.

"I will destroy her head so she can’t be revived." Leo raised his photon sword and was ready to slice the mini-Coco with Head inside it.

But before he moved, she stopped him.

"No, please don’t destroy it. It will damage the mini-Coco’s function." Chiaki said, "Rather, can you send it to space? That way, the vacuum will keep the Malice unable to move. I don’t know the reason, but it seemed to be affected by it. We can destroy it once we find out the answer. But for now, we need to stop it from spreading and reviving Supreme Evil."

"I see." Leo nodded and picked up the mini-Coco containing Head’s body.

His Qi gathered around him, and he disappeared in a flash of lightning. Explore more at empire

At that moment, he was flying using his lightning Qi. He tried to get as high as possible before throwing the mini-Coco into space.

When he reached the highest point, he concentrated his Qi on his right hand and spoke.

"Can you turn this mini-Coco into a ball shape?" He asked, and the mini-Coco’s body began to change shape.

It shrunk and formed a perfect ball, making it easier for Leo to throw it.

And then, he did. A sonic boom was created as the ball flew at a high speed toward the sky and disappeared into the sky.

"Homerun." He muttered with a grin on his face.

He began to fall back to the ground, and he planned to catch up with Jessica and Sherly, but then he realized that there was a strange sound coming from his ear.

It was the sound of a wind splitting. A very familiar sound when he moved at a fast speed.

Turning his head around, he saw a young boy with a furious expression on his face and his arm raised. A ball made from dark Qi was floating in his hand.

"Insect!!" The young boy shouted with a voice filled with rage.

"Aha! The boss is here."

Lightning exploded from Leo’s body as he was suspended mid-air. His lips formed a crescent smile as he looked at his status.

[Status Window]

Individual name: Leo

Status: Normal

Nanites: 85%

His condition was still okay, but he knew that he couldn’t underestimate this young boy. He immediately took out his railgun, put it at the highest setting, and began to load his Qi inside. The lightning around him gathered into the railgun, making it crackle with electricity.

And he pulled the trigger.

The sound of wind splitting was louder this time, and a laser beam shot out of the railgun, hitting the boy’s dark Qi ball.

Bang!

A loud explosion occurred, and a large shockwave spread out in the sky. Clouds parted and the sky split, showing a clear blue sky and the sun on top of their heads.

Leo stood still in the sky with his railgun pointed at the enemy. He could see the young boy’s body getting sucked by a black hole that suddenly appeared, and the hole closed as if it never existed.

The angry expression on the boy’s face remained. His body was covered in darkness that was like a night itself.

"How dare you... I’ve been lenient with you, but now I’ll kill you myself and turn you into fertilizer."

"And you saved me time from finding you." Leo responded with a smile, "I believe you’re Heart, no? Did you come after realizing you won’t be able to recover Head and Eyes’ Malice? No need to worry, it’s been taken care of."

The boy, Heart, didn’t say anything more.

Instead, the Qi around him became thicker, spreading out in the sky like a black mist.

And then...

"You’re dead." He said with a cold tone.

Leo raised his railgun again and pointed it at Heart.

He had charged it while they were speaking and it was now ready to shoot. Lightning crackled around him as he looked at the enemy without any emotion in his eyes.

He pulled the trigger, but before he could shoot, the black Qi around Heart suddenly covered the whole sky like a black dome. It surrounded them and made it impossible to see anything.

Darkness enveloped him, and Leo knew that this was a trap.

At that moment, Leo felt something wrong.

He looked around and realized that he was falling.

No, he wasn’t falling. It was just his brain that couldn’t understand the situation. All senses of direction were gone, and his body floated like it was in space.

"Feeling insignificant yet?"

Heart’s voice rang from all directions, and Leo could feel his presence all over him. He was not in the sky anymore, but it felt like he was in a dark, infinite void.

Heart’s black Qi had engulfed him, and he didn’t know where he was standing. Not even his smart lenses and his enhanced senses could help him.

"This.... is pretty bad."

A nervous laugh escaped his lips as he looked around, not knowing what to do. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Once again, Leo wasn’t quite a fighter until he arrived in this world. He was strong, yes. However, if he was compared to the best fighter out there, he only had the advantage of having a strong body and being a 9 Stars sham martial artist.

"I am in a pinch."
