I've Become the King of Villains in the Game-Chapter 246 - 184: Standing Alone Against the Pollution Tide

Chapter 246: Chapter 184: Standing Alone Against the Pollution Tide

Clang—Crack crack crack!

Chen Lun pulled out the Silver Staff, swung it casually, and transformed it into a silver whip form. This form of the staff had a wide attack range, making it very suitable for the current battlefield.

With a boom, the leather gloves emitted flames that spread over the silver whip.

He flew low in the sky and lashed out with the flaming silver whip, making a whistling sound.

Crack!

The head of a frogman got hit and was instantly smashed, blue blood and some strange tissues spurting out.

The flames clung to its body, spreading and burning like bone maggots.

Strangely enough, the frogman continued to emit loud croaks and danced around in pain despite having no head.

In the flames, the frogman, parasitized by a humanoid slug, sprouted what looked like long hairy eyeball tentacles. Those eyeballs showed a terribly terrifying look, filled with madness, hatred, and killing intent, but ultimately burst in the high-temperature burn.

The humanoid slug started to detach itself, attempting to flee, but Chen Lun flicked a spark from his finger in mid-air, hitting its hard shell with a hiss and a burst of sparks, igniting it immediately.

The slug withdrew into its shell, but it was no better than an ostrich’s behavior.

The high temperature of the Supernatural Flame directly cooked the soft body inside the hard shell, turning it into a stinking, thick liquid that seeped out from below.

Eventually, the hard shell cracked, shattered, and turned into tiny particles that sank into the ground.

[You have killed the pollution creature “Frogman,” gaining 2500 Experience Points!]

[You have killed the pollution creature “Humanoid Slug,” gaining 1800 Experience Points!]

Chen Lun ignored the killing notifications and laughed heartily, flapping his black wings and continued to roam in the Pollution Tide.

He swung the flaming silver whip, slaughtering the group of pollution creatures.

In reality, the Pollution Tide was not weak; the “Frogman” was even stronger than many Sequence Eight Transcendents. However, Chen Lun had air superiority and could unleash Supernatural Flame that ignored the torrential rain.

Most importantly, his resistance to venom was too high, completely overcoming this wave of Pollution Tide!

A frogman targeted Chen Lun mid-air and spit out a clump of black mud.

Seeing he couldn’t dodge, Chen Lun promptly retracted the silver whip and opened a silver umbrella. With a bang, the next second, he was pushed several meters by the huge impact of the black mud.

Tumbling several times in mid-air, Chen Lun regained his balance and, with a flick of his wings, opened and swung the silver umbrella, causing black mud to fall like rain.

Chen Lun’s face was speckled with black mud, blocked by a layer of dark golden scales. The sizzling sound of corrosion accompanied by green smoke, he casually wiped it off with his hand.

“You think you can poison me with this…?”

His eyes were ferocious.

Crack crack… Clang!

The Silver Staff in his hand turned into a silver sword form.

Chen Lun looked down at the Pollution Tide below, channeling Supernatural Power into the silver sword, which immediately started flickering with a pale purple glow.

Bales Swift Sword!

“Die!”

He swung out several arcs of sword Qi, the pale purple sword light hitting several frogmen, instantly slicing through their green skin, cutting off muscles and bones.

Blue blood sprayed wildly, and the frogmen collapsed heavily injured.

The humans with slug-like bodies surrounding them crawled over, trying to heal their wounds through parasitism.

But the next moment, more arced Sword Qi fell.

Even the hard shells of the human-headed slugs cracked and broke under the Sword Qi, eventually being torn apart.

In no time at all, two frogmen and four or five human-headed slugs were slain alive under the Sword Qi.

Their bodies disintegrated, sinking into the ground, vanishing without a trace.

Chen Lun gasped for air, momentarily pausing his assault.

‘A relief of tensions, but it consumed a lot of Physical Strength… After all, being of a Low Sequence, I can’t withstand such intense battles.’

He suddenly cracked a smile.

‘But…’

Chen Lun suddenly dove forward, grabbing a hairy poisonous lizard with a big hand.

The poisonous lizard struggled desperately, its fur secreting venom while both lizard heads at its ends bit onto Chen Lun’s wrist.

Clang!

Their teeth shattered, unable to penetrate the dark golden scale armor.

The venom spread over Chen Lun’s fingers, but it couldn’t permeate and was utterly ineffective.

“Just a piece of food and yet you wish to rebel?!”

The Blood Poem Ring on Chen Lun’s fingers emitted a red light, and the next second, a strong suction force emerged. The poisonous lizard he firmly held screeched in pain, its body twisted, emitting a bone-chilling cracking noise.

In just a few breaths, it was swallowed by the ring.

A flush of pleasure swept over Chen Lun’s face, and then he sighed deeply.

Having replenished his Physical Strength and Spirituality, he felt revitalized.

With a flap of his wings, holding the Silver Sword, he dived back into the Pollution Tide, initiating another round of slaughter.

Flames blazed vigorously, silver light overflowed, blood and limbs flew chaotically.

The figure with black wings on its back swiftly maneuvered through the Pollution Tide, turning each area it reached into a bloody storm.

The residents of Kazt Town, the White Cats, gathered behind the city wall, looking up. They didn’t know what was happening on the battlefield outside and wore anxious expressions.

The White Cat Warriors on the city wall stood motionless, as if struck by something, frozen in shock.

“It’s the Transcendent Lord! He’s holding back the Pollution Tide single-handedly!”

A White Cat Warrior shouted with a trembling voice.

Upon hearing this, the cat residents below momentarily fell silent, then burst into vigorous cheers—

“Thanks to the protection of the Cat God! Thanks to the Transcendent Lord!”

“Long live the Transcendent Lord!”

The battle continued for over half an hour.

Chen Lun sliced the last frogman in half with a single sword strike, flapped his wings, and soared, crossing the battlefield to return to the top of the city wall.

Having killed all the frogmen, the most significant threat, the remaining few human-headed slugs and hairy poisonous lizards met their end under the White Cat Warriors’ crossbow arrows.

Any polluted creatures attempting to climb the city wall were blasted into pieces by the falling Exploding Fruits.

The Pollution Tide was not annihilated by Chen Lun alone; he merely halted the advance of the polluted creatures, granting the White Cat Warriors more time to attack.

Yet, even so, his intervention was nothing short of a miracle!

The one-eyed White Cat Warrior was the first to lay down his broadsword and kneel before him in salute.

Clang!

Clatter!

The numerous White Cat Warriors on the city walls dropped their swords, shields, and crossbows and prostrated themselves in reverence.

The White Cat residents below followed suit, each lying face down with their little heads deeply bowed.

“Blessed Transcendent!”

“Thank the Cat God, thank you, Blessed Transcendent!!”

Daye’s eyes moistened as he said in a deep voice:

“Blessed Transcendent, this has been the least deadly battle against a Pollution Tide that Kazt Town has seen in many years… Over the years, countless White Cats have perished, but you are the dawn of salvation for Kazt. We are immensely grateful to you!”

Chen Lun was drenched in sweat, his hair sticking to his forehead.

“Don’t mention it… If you wish to worship and honor me, helping you is but a minor effort on my part.”

He said with a light chuckle.

‘It’s been a long time since I’ve fought so freely, finally rediscovering the sensation of battle… This combat session alone has granted me more than 50,000 Experience Points, another accumulation!’

There are still many supernatural materials on the battlefield waiting for the White Cats to cleanup. Besides, the mission rewards have not yet been tallied, I wonder what I will receive…’

He thought to himself.

Chen Lun took out a black hat, placed it on his head, and using his Silver Staff, made a gesture of gratitude to the Constellation. He then turned his gaze back down to the foot of the walls.

There were still sporadic polluted creatures charging toward the wall, utterly fearless, their eyes filled only with a mad lust for killing.

The one-eyed White Cat, seemingly inspired by the Transcendent, grabbed his massive broadsword and leaped from the wall, rushing toward the remaining polluted creatures.

“Captain Kappa! Kill them all!”

Many White Cat Warriors, their blood boiling, waved their claws and cheered for the one-eyed White Cat.

The one-eyed White Cat, Kappa, was extraordinarily skilled, easily on par with that black cat Nada.

His broadsword swung through the air, producing a heavy swooshing sound, often bisecting caterpillars and poison lizards with a single strike. Even the tough shells of the human-headed slugs couldn’t withstand the blows of the broadsword, and were reduced to mush within a few hits.

Chen Lun looked around and noticed that the central spire of Kazt Town was gathering light at its pinnacle, seemingly accumulating energy.

“That spire is a gift from the Cat God and the mainstay of survival for our town of Kazt… Almost every Pollution Tide has been repelled with its help,”

Daye said, noticing where Chen Lun was looking.

“Unfortunately, in the past two years, the energy of the spire has significantly decreased, and the time to gather shockwaves has increased, necessitating more White Cat Warriors to fight and buy time.

But now with the Blessed Transcendent, it’s no longer an issue.”

His expression was relieved, his eyes filled with gratitude.

Chen Lun responded with a smile.

Once again, he turned his attention to the city wall below, pondering.

‘The Pollution Tide of Kazt has lasted a terribly long time and cannot be solved with one or two attempts… Since they strike every mid-month, perhaps I could summon players to help defend against it.’

Chen Lun thought, smiling.

‘By treating this place as a sustainable dungeon-like map, a branch of the Immortal Realm, I can let stronger players come here to challenge it… I wouldn’t have to intervene personally each time, and I could earn substantial rewards.

In doing so, I would be helping both the players and Kazt, which is quite generous of me… Unfortunately, there’s no charity award in this world, or else I’d definitely win a trophy.’

He felt somewhat wistful.

After the Pollution Tide ended.

Chen Lun received an even warmer welcome from the residents of Kazt.

The mission “Dawn of Kazt” had been tallied, and he had earned a total of 8,000 Experience Points, 10 Gold Pounds, and increased Affection from Kazt’s residents… Additionally, he gained a piece of Supernatural Knowledge from the Nature Faction, Sequence Eight – Healer, and a talisman from the Cat God.

The current affection from Kazt Town had reached reverence, and he could clearly sense the White Cats’ awe and devoutness toward him intensifying.

After the banquet, Chen Lun sat cross-legged at the very top of the spire.

He was holding a bone shard the size of a fingertip in his hand, inscribed with a strange talisman.

[Supernatural Item – Cat God’s talisman (single-use consumable)]

Item Description: A bone shard imbued with the power of Nature, seemingly a gift from the Cat God, capable of casting a Divine Art, summoning the Golden Divine Punishment with immense power.

Chen Lun gently caressed the bone shard in his hand, his eyes gleaming.

‘This power… Golden Divine Punishment, sounds very potent, reminiscent of that fellow Philip who seems to have been wiped out by this divine punishment…’

He carefully placed the bone shard into the Blood Poem Ring.

‘Hmm, this bone shard could serve as an ace up my sleeve, ready to unleash a divine punishment should anyone irk me!’

Chen Lun then took out a deck of cards, planning to do a Divination.

Before the Pollution Tide, Daye had speculated that behind the attacking polluted creatures, there was likely an even stronger polluted creature controlling them.

‘Perhaps a divination could reveal its location.’

He grasped the deck, cards fanned out with a flourish.

The [Divination]Skill activated, and Chen Lun suddenly raised an eyebrow.

He felt that his divination prowess had leaped to a new level, even capable of blocking some mystical interferences.

‘Hmm… Within the Immortal Realm, there are still such effects that can amplify my abilities…’

Chen Lun was delighted.

‘Just unsure if this boost also applies to divinations in the current world.’

He temporarily set aside this thought, focusing on divining the location of the entity behind the polluted creatures.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Three cards fell neatly in place.

Looking at the “3” cards of varying suits, Chen Lun looked up toward the three o’clock direction, toward the rocky rubble and the Black Plains beyond…
