The Emergence of the Ability User

But all hope ultimately shattered.

Jian Guang Teng watched with wide eyes as a cold light flashed past, its body cleaved in two in an instant. The sharp, cold sword sliced through the very core of its body, dragging the human part wrapped within the core down to the ground, mingling with the green liquid. It could only watch helplessly as its body and the human it had just swallowed were separated, then completely destroyed beneath the blade of that person.

Who was it? Who could separate the parasite from its host?

No one answered Jian Guang Teng, because it no longer had any opportunities.

Pei Su bent down and picked up Liu Li Li, who was lying on the ground. His face was hidden in the shadows, his brows furrowed as he looked deep into the alley, vaguely sensing an existence that made his heart tremble involuntarily.

But just as he lifted one foot, before he could even take a step, he heard Liu Li Li let out a faint groan in his arms.

Then, Xiao Zhao's voice came through his earpiece: "Captain Pei, I've checked; there's nothing in the alley. Quickly save Liu Li Li; she's been parasitized for too long, I'm afraid her life is in danger."

Pei Su nodded in confirmation, carrying Liu Li Li out of the dark alley.

As soon as he left, Cheng Li stepped out from a narrow gap nearby. He exclaimed to the System: [He's really powerful. Even I couldn't separate those two things.]

He couldn't clearly see the face of the newcomer, but he sensed an aura that didn't belong to humans, nor was it like a monster, so he immediately hid. But strangely, when that person sheathed his sword, the aura became human again, as if only when holding the sword was that person no longer human; once the sword was sheathed, he became a human like any other.

In Cheng Li's mind, the System seemed a bit doubtful. After he had it operate at high speed, it had detected a piece of information from a top-secret national agency.

[Ability User.]

It said.

Cheng Li was a little curious: [What is an Ability User?]

The System explained: [Just like in the Godfall World, a few people, after eating monsters, have an extremely low probability of awakening a special ability. Just like you, No.1. But the difference is, you completely devour monsters, fully occupying everything that belongs to them, because your mental power has completely swallowed them whole.
