Chapter 38: Chapter 38

On the other side, since the berserk ghoul was too ferocious, the entire squad of ability users suffered heavy casualties.

Jim led the remaining members of the ability user team to frantically dodge the attacks from the ghoul. For some reason, the ghoul seemed to be locked onto them. Instead of walking toward the island, it was chasing after Jim and the others in a frenzy.

“Squad Leader Jim, what do we do now?”

“The ghoul is too fierce in its pursuit. We have no way of escaping!” A new member exclaimed with a flustered expression.

“What’s there to be afraid of? If we can’t win, we’ll fight to the death with it!” Alice said angrily when she saw the expression of this new ability user.

“Alright, Alice!”

“Listen to me, this matter has blown up!”

“This time, I’m afraid even the people from the corporation won’t be able to cover it up!”

“Other than me, your level is the highest here. Bring these people and break through!”

“With your strength, it shouldn’t be difficult for you to escape with them!” Jim said solemnly.

Upon hearing this, Alice looked at Jim and asked in confusion, “Squad Leader Jim, what are you going to do?”

“Me?”

“I’m the squad leader. Now that something like this has happened, I have to take responsibility alone!”

“As for me, I will not pass on my responsibilities!”

“That’s why I’ll do everything I can to buy you time so that you can escape successfully!” Jim spoke in a low voice once again.

The moment he finished speaking, a pair of black gloves appeared on his hands.

Jim had already made up his mind and knew that he would definitely die.

Even if he could survive this time, he planned to resign because he had lost too many comrades today.

He had not been able to solve any problems.

Last time, they still had the help of the ranger mage from the island world.

This time, he felt that even if the ranger mage from the island world came, he might still be no match for the ghoul.

Upon thinking of this, Jim’s heart was already in despair.

Right now, he only wanted to use his own life to cover for the others as they retreated in order to make up for his incompetence.

Just as he was about to charge out, a person surrounded by lightning suddenly appeared before them.

“The two of you should be in charge here, right?” The voice of the ranger mage from the island world sounded in Jim and Alice’s ears.

“May I ask who you are?” Jim looked at the person in front of him. He had a feeling that this person was similar to the ranger mage of the island world, but he couldn’t tell what the difference was.

After all, the ranger mage had been surrounded by flames, while this person was surrounded by lightning.

“I am the God of Lightning!”

“Leave the beast here to me!”

“All of you, stay here. Don’t leave!”

“Only leave after I finish the battle. Otherwise, don’t blame me for accidentally injuring you!” The ranger mage from the island world quickly instructed them.

The ranger mage of the island world left after giving his instructions.

“The God of Lightning?” Jim had a stunned expression as he watched the ranger mage from the island world leave.

“Squad Leader Jim, that person’s strength is equal to the strength that Bill displayed when he cast the forbidden spell. Furthermore, I feel that he’s hiding his strength. Perhaps he’s even stronger than a Level 5 mage!”

“Are there such ability users among the ranger mages in this island world?” Alice looked at Jim in surprise and said slowly.

Jim smiled bitterly upon hearing this. “I’m not sure either. I didn’t know that there was such a powerful ranger mage in our island world!”

“Looks like we can only rely on this man called the God of Thunder this time!”

“However, he and the other ranger mage of the island world are really terrifying. Two such powerful people were actually able to cultivate to such an extent without orthodox cultivation methods. Their talent is really exaggerated!” Jim thought to himself.

…

The ranger mage of the island world looked at the ghoul outside, which was more than ten meters tall.

Without saying anything else, he gathered the lightning in his hands and quickly approached his opponent. Then, the superhuman cells in his body activated instantly. With his strong physical strength combined with the power of the lightning, he threw a punch at his opponent.

The ranger mage of the island world was very fast. He arrived in front of the ghoul in the blink of an eye.

Then, he punched its thigh.

That punch simply penetrated the ghoul’s thigh, but that was not the end. Then, the ranger mage of the island world used his lightning ability to send all the lightning on his fist into the ghoul’s thigh.

Lightning instantly surged into the ghoul’s thick thigh.

After doing all this, the ranger mage from the island world quickly retreated.

Then, he reached a safe distance.

On the other side, the ghoul could not stand straight due to the wound on its thigh and immediately knelt on one knee.

The ranger mage, who had retreated to a safe distance, snapped his fingers.

Pa!

The sound of finger snapping could be heard.

Then, the ghoul’s pierced thigh suddenly expanded.

Soon, the ghoul’s thigh reached a critical point, and the muscle fibers could no longer maintain their form.

Bang!

An explosion was heard. The ghoul, who was kneeling on one knee, was blown up by the violent power of the lightning. Its entire thigh turned into a pile of minced meat that scattered like flowers falling from the sky. Then, a rain of blood fell from the sky.

Just as the ranger mage of the island world thought that he had dealt with this Level 5 beast and was about to finish it off, the voice of a female ranger mage sounded.

“Baby, I think that you should wait!”

“This Level 5 ghoul beast is not simple!”

When the ranger mage from the island world heard the female ranger mage’s words, he stopped and looked at the Level 5 ghoul beast in front of him.

As expected, the ghoul’s thigh was growing back at a visible speed.

In a moment, the ghoul’s thigh was as good as new.

“What happened, Zero?”

The ranger mage from the island world looked at the ghoul’s leg that was growing rapidly and asked the female ranger mage in confusion.

“This ghoul is a Level 5 beast. It’s been invaded by the power of darkness for too long, and it’s already showing signs of becoming a Demon Master!”

“Furthermore from the looks of it, it has awakened dark magic that absorbs vitality!”

The female ranger mage patiently explained this to the ranger mage of the island world.

“Then, how can I kill it?” The ranger mage of the island world asked again.

“If you only use this power of lightning, it will be somewhat difficult to kill it.”

“If you can combine another kind of power with the power of lightning, killing it will be a piece of cake!”

“Is there no other way?” The ranger mage from the island world asked indignantly.

“Yeah…”

“Actually, I can reveal a bit of my aura, but I’m afraid that if I get too close, I’ll simply crush it to death!”

The female ranger thought for a while and said cutely.

“Damn, damn, damn, damn. I can’t kill a beast even after working so hard, but when it comes to you, you can simply crush it with your aura.”

The ranger mage from the island world complained in his heart.

While the ranger mage was still hesitating, the female ranger mage’s voice sounded again.

“Darling, I think you need to make a decision quickly!”

“In my opinion, this Level 5 beast seems to be preparing to absorb some vitality!”

“What do you mean?” The ranger mage of the island world asked.

“I mean that it’s about to level up!”

“To a Demon Master?”

“Yes!”

“According to my estimations, if he wants to level up, one-third of the creatures in the entire island world will be forcibly drained of their vitality!”

“So, you have to consider it quickly!”

“This is because once it starts to absorb vitality, almost every second, three lives will be gone!
