Although Shuhu had only just revived after draining Dan Shu's life force, its essence was still that of an Emanator.
There was no way their current group could deal with It.
And besides, they couldn't do anything to It even when It was dead.
Let alone after It had come back to life.
Not only would they be unable to do anything to It, but during the fight, there was a high chance that It would seize an opportunity to launch a sneak attack and end up "eating" one of them.
At that point, it wouldn't be as simple as losing one person.
They would be facing a true Emanator of Abundance that had recovered part of its strength.
His gaze fell on the tiny Shuhu, who wasn't even as tall as Qingque.
From the beginning until now, Shuhu hadn't spoken a single word to them.
"No consciousness?"
Maybe Dan Shu's life force alone wasn't enough to truly wake Shuhu.
Makes sense.
From what he had seen, Shuhu only started speaking after absorbing the life force of them all.
At that moment, Fu Xuan and the others had also arrived. When Dan Heng and Blade saw the sapling trapped inside the formation, they both frowned.
Neither of them was unfamiliar with this aura.
For Dan Heng, Blade, who chased after him with his sword every day, carried this aura.
And for Blade, the thing in front of him was the culprit that had turned him into what he was today.
Fu Xuan only gave Shuhu a simple glance. Compared to It, Qingque was what she cared about more.
She came behind Qingque.
Looking at the imposing Qingque, she raised her hand.
Smack!
"Hiss~ Oww, oww, oww~"
Levi covered his head in pain and turned around to complain to Fu Xuan.
Fu Xuan crossed her arms and calmly looked at him.
"Qingque, do you have anything to say for yourself?"
"Say what?"
Levi blinked, "Still pretending?!"
Fu Xuan glared at him, "What did you always say before? That you don't know martial arts?"
'This is what you call not knowing martial arts?!'
Levi spread his hands, "I really don't know martial arts. I've always wondered about this too. The Divination Commission is a civilian office stationed in the rear. We're support. Why would we need martial arts?"
'Could it be that the Divination Commission was the so-called violent support type?'
'The kind where you perfectly protect your teammates by killing all the enemies?'
"Nonsense!"
'Was I asking about martial arts?'
Suddenly, the sapling inside the formation moved, and the sound of something cutting through the air came from ahead.
Whoosh!
Puchi!
Looking at Shuhu being hit by its own attack, Fu Xuan's expression also became serious.
"Do you have a way to deal with it?"
"Yes!"
She had only asked casually and hadn't expected Qingque to have a way to deal with Shuhu.
Yet the moment he heard the question, he gave an affirmative answer.
Levi raised his head and looked at the sky, silently calculating when it would be time to get off work.
As long as work ended, what Shuhu or whatever fun-loving idiots, none of it would be a problem.
But those people definitely wouldn't let him drag things out peacefully until quitting time.
"What way?"
"With you and me sisters joining forces, who could withstand even one round!"
"?"
"Ahem, ahem, don't mind that."
"..."
Levi's eyes flickered.
Coming up with a way to deal with an Emanator in such a short time was difficult even for him.
Although Mr. Yang's artificial black hole could damage Shuhu, in terms of power, it couldn't pose any real threat to Shuhu.
Besides, the thing was just dumb, not a corpse standing still and letting them attack as they pleased.
If that were really the case, he wouldn't need to think about any plans.
He'd just call everyone over and tell them to slash with all they had.
Even with the absurd vitality of an Emanator of Abundance,
It wouldn't be able to endure attack after attack forever. Sooner or later, It would recover to the state It once had.
Puchi!
The sound of vines piercing flesh entered his ears. Levi only raised his head and glanced over before lowering it again.
That thing had finally discovered the members of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus left inside.
Right now, It was feasting on them.
"No different from a beast."
Very quickly, the members of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus lying on the ground all turned into skeletons and vanished.
The tiny Shuhu also seemed to recover its intelligence.
A human-like burp sounded from some unknown part of Its body.
Then Its branches and leaves trembled, and It let out a satisfied sound.
"Ah... what time is it now?"
"I remember... I was on the Luofu!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Branches and vines shot in every direction, but in the end they all stabbed into Its own body.
Feeling the pain, the tiny Shuhu was clearly stunned.
It obviously didn't understand why.
Why did the vines that had clearly struck outward end up hitting Itself?
The attacks that were about to hit the surrounding Cloud Knights instantly appeared on Its own body instead.
Such a strange situation made Shuhu wary.
Looking at the tiny Shuhu standing in the center, Jingliu suddenly raised her arm. Blade and Dan Heng stepped forward at the same time.
In an instant, four attacks landed where Shuhu was.
When the smoke caused by the attacks dispersed, Shuhu was no longer there.
Seeing this, Jing Yuan frowned and looked toward the Ambrosial Arbor.
He felt that Shuhu's revival and the Arbor's recovery seemed to have some unknown connection.
There was a high possibility they were the work of the same group.
Who would set their sights on the Xianzhou Luofu of the Hunt and on Shuhu, the servant under the Plagues Author?
It had to be those damned followers of Elation.
Other than them, Jing Yuan couldn't think of anyone who had that much free time.
Or anyone bold enough to do something like this.
"****."
Although he had already expected his formation to be broken by his own side, when it really happened, Levi still cursed the four of them.
If no one had interfered, he could at least have delayed Shuhu for another system hour.
Everyone could have taken turns going up and stalling.
If they did it well, there was a good chance they could drag things out until quitting time.
At that point, once he entered his off-duty state and was finally free, he'd be invincible.
But since he had already foreseen Shuhu escaping, Levi wasn't angry.
Still, a scolding was necessary.
"Jing Yuan, have everyone withdraw from the Alchemy Commission immediately. That thing can't be stopped anymore."
After absorbing the power of the Ambrosial Arbor, Shuhu would recover at least sixty percent of Its strength.
Don't underestimate sixty percent. That was already an existence that the current Luofu would hesitate to face.
If Jingliu, Blade, and Dan Heng weren't present, with Jing Yuan alone holding the line, Shuhu probably wouldn't even bother leaving.
It would start slaughtering everyone right here.
No.
According to Its own words, it was salvation.
Become a part of It and enjoy the blessings of eternal life forever.
[Ding Dong!]
At that moment, Stelle, who had been silent all this time, raised a question in the group chat.
[Stelle: Didn't you say you could deal with it?]
'Then why can't you stop it?'
Seeing that, Levi's thoughts moved.
[Levi: Not being able to stop it and being able to deal with it are two different things. Don't mix them up.]
After calming Stelle down a bit, Levi turned his head again and looked at the "tour group" above the Ancient Sea.
[Ding Dong!]
[Kiana: Something dangerous happened over there again?!]
'Why does it feel like the world where Stelle, Levi, and Asta are is so dangerous?'
[Levi: Can't help it~]
If you're following the protagonist, there's no way there won't be danger.
[Elysia: What is it, what is it, what is it? Does Miss Pink Elf need to step in and help?]
[Stelle: Better not come. He's currently on that little shorty we met last time.]
Although Elysia wasn't a weak girl anymore, in this kind of situation, coming over would just be delivering herself.
