The entity's mind operated differently from that of humans. It fought against things without regard for various factors such as familial ties, friendships, the importance of body parts, and so on. Its battle mentality was singular: fight! Fight! Fight! Kill! Kill! Kill!
It did not care whether its limbs would break or if a third leg would be injured; it only knew that if an action could evade or attack, it would execute it immediately, purely following the most instinctual primal combat.
Currently, Yelai was just like that. His mind was filled with the need to instill fear, to Absorb Fear. He adhered strictly to this principle.
When he saw an Acupoint approaching from the left, he noted that its rank was inferior to his own and did not bother to dodge. Instead, he charged forward and violently tore off one of its arms using the Dead Point and Shoulder Well on his shoulder.
With a ripping sound, flesh and blood were brutally torn apart. The Acupoint let out a chilling scream that echoed throughout the area.
He paid no heed to the cries; instead, a satisfied smile spread across his face as he stepped on the fallen Acupoint's body and greedily inhaled deeply. Delicious fear—he wanted more, more!
He opened his mouth and bit down on the other shoulder's Dead Point and Shoulder Well. By completely unleashing his control over fear, Yelai's physical attributes began to rise.
In an instant, blood and flesh flew everywhere as he savagely bit down on its arm. The sound of crunching echoed repeatedly.
He wielded the Acupoint's two severed arms as weapons, swinging them in a frenzy to fend off other attacking Acupoints. Whenever there was a moment of respite, he would bring down the severed arms onto the Acupoint beneath him.
Fear, fear, fear. With each strike, he muttered to himself while greedily savoring the taste of fear.
In the distance, Gaze watched this scene unfold and couldn't help but tremble in response.
At that moment, it followed Yelai's orders, standing at the back to prevent any Acupoint from crossing the Defense Point and breaching the front line. Watching Yelai's actions towards the Acupoints and observing the growing fear on the faces of the Acupoints who were beginning to understand Yelai's Madness, it felt a sense of inevitability and a hint of dread.
It wondered if it had not obeyed Yelai's commands, would Yelai treat it in such a manner?
In an instant, its fear of Yelai deepened.
On the other side, Yelai, with his keen sensitivity to the scent of fear, sensed that Gaze was approaching with a whiff of terror. He did not attack Gaze; instead, his face was filled with satisfaction. He craved such delicious fear.
Gaze had met his expectations and further fueled his desire for the taste of fear.
At this moment, Team Leader of Squad Two and his team were already seven or eight minutes away. With Yelai's combat style resembling that of an Entity embodying Fear, combined with the upper-level suppression brought by his Sequence of Fear, the perception of Yelai among the Acupoints here began to change.
He scanned across the field at the Acupoints. Those ranked below Rank Five instinctively retreated upon meeting Yelai's eerie smile, filled with terror. Even those at Rank Six dared not approach Yelai easily.
Delicious, fragrant, enticing.
Yelai's lips curled into a strange arc as he extended his tongue to lick his lips, leaning toward the nearest Acupoint.
Roar!!
The Acupoint cried out in fear at the sight.
Here, there were more than two dozen Entities known as Acupoints, while Yelai stood alone; it appeared as though two dozen Entities surrounded one person.
But upon closer inspection, it was one person encircled by more than two dozen Acupoints.
Bang!
Yelai swung his arm, striking the head of the Acupoint that was screaming in fear, crushing its Dead Point and causing it to let out a horrific cry before dying on the spot.
With a gaze reminiscent of an Entity, he surveyed the Acupoints around him.
"I haven't had my fill of fear yet; anyone who dares to run will die. Bring me more fear!"
He completely abandoned any restraint.
Influenced by the side effect, Yelai's fighting style, his eyes, and even his voice began to resemble that of an Entity.
One could only imagine what would happen if Yelai could no longer suppress the side effect in the future; he would inevitably become a monster like an Entity, a lost soul steeped in extreme Unknown Horror.
