The Only Spatial Ability User In The Apocalypse-Chapter 86 Strange Mist

The compressed spatial blade pierced through the lower jaw and drove upward.

The bull's body stiffened mid-charge, and for a moment, time seemed to freeze. Then...

Blood exploded outward.

The blade had penetrated its skull. The bull staggered, and its massive body crashed forward uncontrollably.

Boom!!!

It fell heavily onto the ground, and Sylas immediately jumped backward. The bull twitched violently for several seconds. Its hooves kicked weakly against the ground, letting out a low and strained bellow from its throat. Then its movements became weak, its red eyes slowly dimmed, and it soon became motionless.

Sylas stood there breathing steadily, his chest rising and falling. He did not lower his guard immediately, and he swept his senses across the surroundings once more.

After confirming that there were no additional threats, Sylas finally relaxed slightly. He glanced at the fallen mutated bull. If his spatial blade had not found a vulnerable point, this fight would have dragged on much longer.

Sylas cut open the bull's head, extracted the energy stone from it, and tossed it into his space.

Another high-level energy stone, but his space seemed to need more to upgrade.

Without wasting more time, he turned and walked back toward his car. Then he got into his car and drove forward, trying to catch up to the convoy once more.

Sylas still maintained a safe distance. If he attracted another high-level mutated creature, he didn't want to put others in danger.

At the front, Major Kyle looked back and said, "It looks like Sylas dealt with another high-level mutated animal again."

"If we didn't have him driving at the rear, it would be troublesome," Leo said.

"We probably wouldn't have made it this far without him," Shuan, who was driving, said.

"What's...?" Leo suddenly uttered, sitting straight up.

From ahead, they saw a purplish-colored mist surrounding and obscuring the road.

"Stop the car. Stop... now," Major Kyle immediately shouted.

Even if Major Kyle hadn't said anything, Shuan had already stepped on the brake.

The cars came to a stop, and Sylas, who was driving at the far back, immediately noticed the cars stopping and spread out his senses, trying to find out what had happened at the front. But after a few seconds, Sylas frowned because he couldn't sense any threat lurking nearby.

Sylas stepped on the accelerator and sped up his car. After reaching the convoy of cars, Sylas immediately got out of the car.

Looking ahead, Sylas saw a purplish mist on the road. With his sharp vision, he could see it from afar. He immediately made his way to the front.

Major Kyle was standing outside the car as he observed the strange mist along with the others. They were standing fifteen to twenty meters away from the strange mist.

"Major," Sylas called out as he arrived near them.

"Sylas, can you try sensing the area occupied by the mist? We tried sensing it but didn't find or sense any danger," Major Kyle said when he saw Sylas.

Sylas nodded his head and once again swept his senses carefully toward the strange mist. After a minute, Sylas shook his head and said, "Nothing. There is nothing. I didn't sense any threats. I also couldn't find the source of this strange mist."

Major Kyle frowned as he looked at the strange purplish mist.

"What should we do now?" Leo said with worry etched on his face.

They couldn't cross the road with the mist occupying it. Who knew whether that strange mist was harmless or dangerous? They didn't dare take the risk.

"This mist looks poisonous. We can't drive through it," Shuan said.

Major Kyle asked Serena to try sensing any nearby mutated plants. He suspected that this mist might be from a mutated plant. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Serena shook her head and said, "There are no mutated plants nearby. Not even low-level ones."

Sylas had already sensed it. There were no mutated plants near the road. Not even low-level mutated animals.

If the strange mist was from a mutated plant, they could deal with its main body and solve the problem. But now, without finding its source, they were all in a dilemma. And no one dared to go near it.

Serena extended her vine carefully toward the strange mist, probing to see if there were any other strange things that would attack, and also to see whether her vines would react to the strange mist.

As the vines entered the mist, everyone observed carefully, but after some time, they saw that nothing had happened to the vines.

Serena retracted the vines and said, "It feels harmless to my vines, but I have no way to confirm whether it will be harmful to us humans."

Sylas looked toward the forest and said, "Wait for me here."

Then, he quickly disappeared into the forest. It didn't take long for Sylas to return. Everyone saw Sylas walking out of the forest with a rabbit in his hand.

They immediately understood Sylas' actions. Sylas handed the rabbit to Serena.

Serena bound the rabbit with her vines and slowly moved it toward the strange mist. As soon as the rabbit entered the strange mist, its body suddenly started convulsing, and within a few seconds, it died, bleeding from all its orifices. Serena immediately retracted the vine along with the dead rabbit and flung the rabbit away.

"F...k! That's dangerous," Dylan cursed in a low voice.

Everyone watched the scene with horror. They were glad they didn't recklessly drive through the strange mist. Otherwise, they would have met the same fate as that rabbit.

Major Kyle took a deep breath and said, "Sylas, can you find mutated animals?"

Sylas immediately understood Major Kyle's intention. The rabbit earlier was a normal animal, so Major Kyle wanted to see whether mutated creatures would be able to withstand the poison. There were no mutated animals nearby, but if he went further into the forest, he would find some. So he immediately went back into the forest to search for a mutated animal. With his senses spread out, Sylas easily found mutated animals after going further inside the forest.

This time, Sylas came back with a low-level mutated squirrel.

Just like before, Serena bound the squirrel with her vines and sent it into the strange mist. When the squirrel entered the mist, its body started twitching and convulsing, and it started bleeding from its orifices and soon met the same tragic end as the rabbit.

"Looks like it's poisonous for every one of us," Major Kyle said, taking a deep breath.

"What should we do now? How are we going to cross the road?" Leo uttered worriedly.

Just then, Sylas suddenly frowned and looked toward the forest. He felt a high-level mutated creature entering the area covered by his senses.

'Oh no...' Sylas suddenly cursed inwardly. He might have attracted a high-level mutated creature when he entered the forest earlier, and now that thing was coming at them.

"Major, there's a high-level mutated creature in the forest," Sylas immediately informed.

"Everyone get ready to fight," Major Kyle immediately shouted.

"No, I will deal with it myself," Sylas said. He didn't want that high-level mutated creature to come out of the forest and endanger everyone on the road.

"But..." Major Kyle tried to persuade Sylas.

"Trust me, Major," Sylas immediately said.

"I will assist you," Dylan said.

"Me too," Serena said.

Shuan and Leo also chimed in, looking at Sylas.

"No... you guys..." Sylas hadn't finished his words when he suddenly sensed another presence coming from the other side of the road.

"Another one... There is another mutated creature approaching. You guys deal with that," Sylas said and immediately entered the forest.

As soon as Sylas disappeared into the forest, Major Kyle immediately sensed the other mutated creature approaching them from the other side of the forest.

"Stay alert, everyone," Major Kyle said. The others had no choice but to stay back and fight the other creature.

"Don't worry, he is stronger than all of us combined," Major Kyle assured them.

Inside the forest, Sylas spread out his senses and sensed the other lower-level mutated animals retreating as soon as the high-level mutated creature approached.

Shua!

A red-colored creature instantly leaped down from a stone and stopped in front of Sylas.

The creature looked at Sylas with fiery red eyes, and it swayed its tails left and right slowly.

Yes, tails!

It had two tails.

'A fox!' Sylas looked at the pretty fox in front of him vigilantly. The mutated fox was red in color. Its fur was shiny, and it had two huge fluffy tails. Its eyes were red in color, and they shone like red gemstones in the sunlight. It looked very pretty. This was the first time Sylas had seen such a pretty mutated animal.

The fox narrowed its eyes at Sylas and slowly crept closer to him gracefully.

Even its movements were graceful.

Sylas didn't let his guard down even though it looked beautiful.

Sometimes the prettier something is, the more dangerous it is. Outward beauty is like a trap, and many people fall for it without even realizing it.

On the other side, Major Kyle and the other ability users stood face to face with a strange animal.

"What the hell is this?" Dylan uttered in shock.
