Mercenary Harem in Murim Novel

A figure was kneeling in front of the altar, muttering something incoherently. Surrounding him were robed figures, and their faces were hidden. They gathered around a bloodied altar with a body laying on top.

'What the fuck is this?!'

Leo was shocked and angered by the scene. This was much worse than he had expected. The body belonged to a young boy wearing Wudang Sect's white robe. He had a stab wound in his stomach and his chest had been cut open, revealing his insides.

His eyes were wide, and his face was filled with fear and pain, looking at his friend that got hung on the ceiling with his intestine used as a rope.

"Fuck." Leo couldn't help but curse loudly, his eyes turning red and his heart filled with anger. "You fucks!"

Without hesitation, he began to shoot the robed figures with his photon handgun. The bullets pierced their heads easily and destroyed their masks and hoods.

As the smoke cleared, they could see the hideous face of the robed figure, their teeth rotten and their eyes filled with madness and bloodlust. Their faces could no longer be called humans. Maggots and worms crawled out from their ears and nose, and their skin was black and covered in a strange green fluid.

"Nngh, nghh, gahhhhh!"

Their tongues were long and sharp, and a strange green liquid dripped from their mouth. No matter how one saw them, they were no longer humans.

"What the fuck is this?!" Astrid shouted, her voice trembling with horror.

The attention of these figures shifted to her.

And then, the kneeling figure slowly turned around. Unlike the others, he looked like a human. At least the exterior part had no difference of what defined what a human was.

However, he was clearly also one of them, an unknown being. This person also received Leo's attack earlier. Because he was kneeling, his head was hidden, so Leo shot his chest to destroy his heart, trying to kill him in one shot. He managed to create a 5 cm diameter hole, but surprisingly the man was still alive.

Leo immediately designated that man as the leader of this Supreme Evil cult.

"Heathens." The man muttered, his voice low and dangerous. "You dare interrupt my ceremony?"

"Ceremony?"

Leo decided to suppress his surprise and focused on the most important part.

"What kind of sick ceremony are you performing? What kind of creature did you become? What's your goal?"

"Ah, hahaha. I'm glad you asked." The man grinned, his eyes filled with a dark and sinister light. "You see, our eternal goal is-"

Bang!

Before the man could finish his sentence, a bullet pierced his forehead, creating another hole on his body. His back arched from the force and he almost fell. Miraculously, he stopped midway and returned to stand normally as if nothing happened.

A smile appeared on his face. The kind that went from ear to ear. Added with the hole on his left eye, with maggots crawling out, and the strange green liquid dripping from his mouth, the smile made him look even more terrifying.

"Hahaha, I see that you're a heathen! Don't worry, we shall use your body to complete the ceremony. Just wait, it will only take a moment." Enjoy exclusive adventures from empire

The man raised his arms and recited something. A dark and sinister Qi emanated from his body, and the room began to shake violently.

All robed men stood between him and Leo's group as if trying to shield their leader from them. Feeling dread for a long time since he arrived in this world, Leo immediately gave out command.

"Slice him up, Anya!"

"Roger that, Leader!"

Without hesitation, Anya charged forward, her claws extended and her body moving faster than the eye could see. She jumped to the wall and began to run along it, dodging the robed men's attacks.

She then launched herself forward, her body becoming a blur. She landed in front of the Cult Leader and swung her claws, aiming for his throat. However...

"Huh?"

A swarm of maggots suddenly emerged from his body and blocked her attack. They surrounded her and crawled up her body, their little feet tickling her skin.

"Ugh!"

Anya jumped back and waved her hands frantically, trying to get rid of the maggots. They fell off her body, leaving a sticky liquid that slowed down her movement.

She frowned and looked at her arms and legs, which were covered with a green goo.

"Eww. That's disgusting!"

"Hehehe."

The robed man chuckled, his face full of pride and arrogance. He had never felt this kind of power before, and he was enjoying every second of it.

"You're not the only one who can use such power. I have gained the ability to summon my master's power. These souls have sacrificed their lives for me, and they will continue to do so. As long as the world exists, we will never die."

"What the fuck are you talking about?!"

Leo fired his gun again, but the robed men stepped forward and blocked the bullets. They used their bodies to block the attack, their bodies puffed up and their chests exploded, creating a large cloud of blood.

"You are just a group of heathens, and you will never understand the meaning of true power. Behold!" The Cult Leader raised his hand, accumulating vicious and murky Qi around his palm.

Then, he sent that Qi toward them, creating a ball of dark and sinister energy.

"Get behind me!"

Leo shouted and pulled the frozen Astrid to his side. He had no time to think about her strange reaction and focus on the incoming danger. Meanwhile, Anya skillfully used her bodysuit to clean the strange goo and ran past the barricade, arriving behind Leo in time.

When the sinister Qi almost reached them, Leo unlocked his limiter and let his Qi to burst. His hair turned white and his eyes turned golden, his body emitting a strange and powerful energy. Electricity gathered in his palm and he sent it forward to counter the attack.

"Thunder God Fist!"
