Listening to Shi Feng's urgent tone, everyone from Zero Wing knew this matter was far from simple.
Since Shi Feng had already spoken, no one dared to disobey. They all fled towards the Blood Hand Society headquarters' exit.
The Mechanical Slaughterer's combat power was truly terrifying. Not only could it unleash area-of-effect destructive skills, but it had even one-shotted a level 50 Tier 1 NPC guard, let alone a group of level 20-something players like them.
If it were just an area-of-effect skill, maybe they could have managed, but the key point was that its normal attacks could kill a guard with over 100,000 HP in a single blow. There was simply no way to fight this; it was completely one-sided. Players at the current stage stood no chance.
"Guild Leader, be careful!" Huo Wu couldn't help but clench her small fist, a sense of unwillingness in her heart.
"Mhm." Shi Feng just gave a casual reply, unable to remain as relaxed as before.
Because the enemies in front of him weren't just the Mechanical Slaughterer; there were also the Mechanical Overseers.
Earlier, these Mechanical Overseers had chased the group out of the vault, but once they escaped, they had turned back to deal with Shi Feng.
On one hand, he had to restrict the Mechanical Slaughterer's movements. On the other, he had to dodge the attacks of the eight Mechanical Overseers.
After all, Shi Feng was only a level 24 Tier 0 Swordsman. He could barely avoid being killed by having all his life-saving skills active, but he was already at the end of his rope.
"How infuriating! I'm the one helping you, and you come after me? Since you want to die, I'll grant your wish!" Shi Feng glared at the Mechanical Overseers, who were attacking him alone, and felt a surge of anger. He stopped using his intermediate frost grenades to suppress the Mechanical Slaughterer and immediately threw them towards the Mechanical Overseers instead, freezing the charging creatures in place.
"I'm done playing with you."
Shi Feng took out an acceleration scroll from his inventory. With the speed boost from the scroll, his velocity surged once more, and he dashed straight for the vault door.
"You will all die!" After thawing, the Mechanical Slaughterer instantly flew into a rage, letting out a mechanical roar that shook the entire vault.
Following the roar, the Mechanical Slaughterer took a huge step and charged towards the fleeing Shi Feng.
However, the frozen Mechanical Overseers blocked its path. Without a word, the Slaughterer swung its sword once. A single blow sent a 6-meter-tall, incredibly bulky Mechanical Overseer flying. After eight consecutive strikes, all eight Overseers were embedded in the walls.
"Incredible damage. As expected of an aberration." Only then did Shi Feng truly witness the Mechanical Slaughterer's real damage output.
Just a normal sword strike had taken over 300,000 HP from a Mechanical Overseer with a total of 1.5 million HP.
This meant a level 30 lord-tier Mechanical Overseer could be easily finished off in just five hits.
Powerful to this degree, it could effortlessly wipe out a starter town.
"It looks like going to the town is out of the question." Shi Feng estimated the Mechanical Slaughterer's combat strength and couldn't help but frown inwardly.
Aberrations were a special existence within the Divine Realm, completely outside the cycle of reincarnation. They usually mutated from monsters, and their appearance was as ridiculously rare as obtaining a Fortune Stone in the Divine Realm.
These aberrations were not bound by the system and were completely free beings. They could move into any area, attacking and destroying all living things without discrimination.
Every appearance was a catastrophe for the Divine Realm, much like natural disasters in the real world. They were not something a single player could hope to contend with.
