Matthew Atkinson & Natalie Russell
First Layer of the Supernatural Realm
The moment Matthew freed himself from the Earl's tentacle, countless monsters surrounded him to block his way.
The one running ahead of the other monsters was the sheriff.
Matthew was irritated by these annoying low-level monsters and was not polite when he attacked the sheriff.
He punched him on the head.
-Bang
The sheriff's head and the upper half of his body instantly exploded into a bloody mist, with body parts splattering everywhere!
All that remained of the sheriff was his legs.
To other people, monsters could have sturdy bodies that were considered semi-immortal, with only their heads as their weak points.
But that didn't apply to Matthew. Semi-immortal or not, weak points or not, it was all the same to him.
His strength attribute was now 300 points, 30 times that of a normal person.
This meant that ordinary flesh-and-blood bodies were no different from paper in front of him.
Matthew could blow up any monster with just a casual attack.
However, there were indeed too many monsters in front of him, and they were all rushing towards Matthew.
After killing the sheriff, more monsters came to him.
Matthew was not interested in getting entangled with these low-level monsters at the moment.
All he wanted was to kill the Earl as quickly as possible; otherwise, the night would drag on, causing more trouble and giving the Earl a chance to turn the tables.
After killing the Earl, it wouldn't be too late for him to come back and deal with these low-level monsters!
-Boom
Matthew suddenly exerted force with his legs, and then he shot up into the air.
As the ground he was standing on collapsed, he was able to dodge the low-level monsters surrounding him.
He had to say, this Hulk-style jump trick was very effective.
When he landed again, those low-level monsters were left far behind.
Then, Matthew, without even looking back, rushed forward and chased after the Earl in the direction he fled.
Matthew's running speed was also astonishing. He looked like an enhanced version of a cheetah.
In the blink of an eye, he disappeared.
Filip Walker, Denis Read, and others were stunned.
When those monsters lost their target, Matthew, they turned their scarlet eyes to Natalie and others.
The sacrifice ritual was not over yet!
If they failed to offer sacrifices quickly and angered the followers of the Moon Goddess, they would die.
Seeing this, Denis Read immediately shouted: "Prepare for battle!"
Natalie made a prompt decision and shouted, "Let's hold on for a while, Matthew will be back soon!"
As soon as these words were heard, everyone was immediately cheered up.
Before, everyone was filled with despair and anger.
But now, when they thought of that strong and violent man, everyone's eyes were filled with hope.
If they could hold on for a while and wait until that man came back, they would be saved!
An Indian laughed loudly and said, "Guys, hurry up and kill as many monsters as possible now. When that man comes back, there won't be any left for us."
…
A few minutes later, the people who were fighting the low-level monsters heard a howl coming from the city.
"Ahhhhh!" The sound was very penetrating, and that was the cry of the Earl.
However, this time, not only did it lack the previous majesty, but it was filled with pain and misery.
A moment later, Matthew returned from the city and came before everyone.
He was holding things in both of his hands.
In his right hand, there was a giant sword, which Matthew had picked up when he passed by a blacksmith shop.
As for the left hand, there was a monster's head. It was none other than the dignified Earl's head!
Even though only his head had left, the Earl was still alive. Its eyes, still unable to be looked at directly, stared at Matthew intently.
He seemed to want to say something, but Matthew didn't give him any chance at all. He threw the head to the ground and stepped on it.
-Bang
The monster's head was instantly blown up into pieces, like a burst watermelon, with black brain tissue flowing all over the ground.
This time, the Earl was definitely dead!
Matthew also received a reminder of the mission progress.
But he was not happy; instead, he looked disgusted.
His shoes got dirty.
He rubbed it on the ground, but found that he couldn't rub it off, so he just left it alone.
Anyway, it would be cleaned up automatically after he left the supernatural realm.
Then, Matthew looked at the countless low-level monsters and raised the sword in his right hand.
He brought this sword to make it easier to harvest monsters!
After all, fists were not as sharp as swords.
Tonight, he wanted to slaughter all the monsters in the city.
…
In a little more than an hour, countless monsters at the city gate all died tragically!
There were blood and corpses all over the ground, and the bloody atmosphere was overwhelming!
Those monsters were considered lucky if their bodies were intact. The more tragic ones were chopped in half from head to toe by Matthew with one sword slash.
Matthew's swordsmanship was poor; it could even be said he had no technique or experience.
But it didn't matter to him. He was strong, and with one strike of his sword, everyone who stood in his way would be killed!
What the Indian guy said before was right. Once Matthew took action against these low-level monsters, there would be no chance for them.
It only took a little more than an hour, and thousands of monsters at the city gate were all hacked to death by Matthew!
Matthew, who had killed thousands of monsters, was filled with a murderous aura.
He stood there like a bloodthirsty god!
Filip Walker, Denis Read, and the others couldn't help but swallow their saliva, fearing that the man would become angry with them and would kill them.
"Matthew!"
Natalie said, finally bringing Matthew back to his senses.
"Hmm? Natalie, are you guys hurt?"
"We are fine, but I'm worried that something might happen to you."
"What could happen to me?"
Matthew said with a smile, then raised his sword and spoke murderously: "Let's go, there should be a lot of monsters in the city, let's go and kill them!"
"Matthew!"
Natalie suddenly shouted.
Matthew was stunned and asked, confused. "Natalie, what's wrong?"
"You've killed enough! Put the sword down!"
The girl said softly, her eyes were full of worry.
She was really afraid that Matthew would be mentally affected by the excessive killing.
"Did I kill enough?"
Matthew glanced around and saw the corpses scattered all over the ground. Only then did he realize that he had unknowingly killed so many monsters.
He was indeed a bit bloodthirsty before and felt nothing about killing this much.
"Yes! The rewards in the Supernatural Realm are capped. We've already exceeded the upper limit. Continuing to kill won't increase our rewards."
As Natalie spoke, he moved closer to Matthew.
When she came in front of Matthew, she gently took the big sword from Matthew's hand.
Seeing the worried look on the girl's pretty face, Matthew smiled.
He handed the sword to the girl and said with a smile, "Don't worry! Natalie, the killing spree did affect my mentality a little just now, but I'm fine now."
"That's good. You've been fighting for so long, you must be tired. Let's go somewhere else to rest for a while!"
Natalie said this, but she didn't believe him at all.
After all, people with problems usually don't admit they have one.
…
A moment later, everyone came to the tavern Matthew and Natalie had been to before to rest.
Not long after they left, two teams of supernatural people quietly arrived at the city gate.
The noise here was too loud before, and there were terrible roars, so they didn't dare to come over.
Only when the noise completely died down did they dare to come over and take a look.
When they saw the scene at the city gate, everyone was horrified!
They saw deep pits and monster corpses everywhere on the ground at the city gate.
Corpses piled up like mountains and blood flowed like rivers!
It was like a scene from hell!
'What the hell happened here?' was all they could think about.
