Chapter 123: Desperate Life of the Black Bear

The heavy bear paw of the black bear slammed down towards the figure in the black robe.

In the darkness, a muffled sound echoed.

However, the heavy blow passed through the figure, creating a large pit in the ground.

The sudden attack caught the black bear off guard, its crimson eyes shrinking as it glimpsed a flash of light. Before it could react, pale flames surged towards it, covering the ground.

"Phantom Sphere, quite handy."

Just then, Hua Mi had infused mental power into the Phantom Sphere, activating a distorted magical field that enveloped him and Xiao Bai.

So, what the black bear saw was an illusion, deviating from their actual position. Missing its target, it exposed its vulnerability.

Hua Mi controlled the raging fire bees, dispersing them in an array, burning as they pressed forward.

Simultaneously, Xiao Bai used the Staff of the Guardian to unleash azure flames.

At such proximity and with a sudden assault, the black bear couldn't react in time.

Instantly surrounded by azure flames.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

Due to its massive size, it wasn't entirely engulfed.

Yet, some parts of its fur were already ablaze.

The black bear stood tall, raising its arms but not lunging forward.

Instead, it roared deafeningly.

"Roar!"

Accompanying the roar, high-pressure water vapor gushed from its body, extinguishing the flames.

The raging fire bees were also scattered.

Hua Mi promptly adjusted his mental power, manipulating the swarm to regroup from all directions.

"Magic?"

This black bear could actually use magic and understand the restraining relationships between them.

It wasn't an ordinary beast; it possessed considerable intelligence.

Next, the black bear directly ignored the illusion formed by the distorted magical field, accurately fixing its crimson eyes on their actual location.

This further confirmed the fact that the opponent was an intelligent being.

"Dodge!"

Seeing the black bear charging straight at them, Hua Mi instructed Xiao Bai to evade but held his ground, his gaze fixed on its movements.

The black bear's thunderous palm swirled towards him.

Hua Mi's gaze narrowed, raising his armsnot to directly block the attack but to converge around the massive bear paw.

Without making contact, the bear paw seemed to lose its momentum in an instant, effortlessly intercepted.

But that wasn't all.

Hua Mi swiftly spun his body. Using his right foot as support, his left foot drew an arc on the ground while pushing both hands in another direction.

The black bear brushed past him, sliding several meters before halting.

Could this thing have a second form?

Subsequently, Hua Mi watched as it slowly shrank amidst agonized moans, shedding its black fur.

In about a minute, it transformed into a humanoid

To be precise, a fruit man.

Fortunately, he was lying on the ground...

It was evident that this person had a very robust physique, standing at a towering two meters with explosive muscularity. Although the fur had vanished, leaving a hairy body, his voluminous dark-gray long hair nearly covered half his back.

"Kids shouldn't look at this."

Hua Mi stopped curious Xiao Bai from approaching and stuffed her into his pocket.

Was this a beastification patient?

Just like Col.

Tonight was the night of the full moon, and he seemed to have lost control.

Almost incapacitated by the fight, he reverted to his original form.

Hua Mi, holding the Staff of the Guardian, cautiously approached and tapped his head.

The bear-man first moved his fingers, then exerted all his strength to roll onto his back, lying sprawled.

"!!"

Jarring!

Hua Mi averted his gaze from a certain part of the man's body, thinking, compared to his physique, he was just average.

"Let's talk nicely, no need for sudden moves."

Hua Mi assessed his faceelongated with high brow bones, giving him sunken eye sockets, not particularly ferocious.

After the recent battle, he appeared drained, depleted by the bloodsucking bees, looking fatigued, eyes wide open as they met Hua Mi's.

"Have you regained your senses?"

"..."

He seemed to say something, but Hua Mi didn't catch it.

"What did you say?"

"Kill... me."

"Kill you?"

"Kill... me..."

This time, Hua Mi clearly heard what he said.

"He says I should kill him."

He didn't want to live.

His expression of misery wasn't just due to exhaustion.

He felt life was meaningless.
