Chapter 1750: Chapter 1750: Run Away

Master Evil thought that Zen's origins and his status were both extraordinary.

Although the Floating Island that was built by Mike years ago had collapsed, his disciples were still very active. Harold, Mike's chief disciple, was still a well-known figure in the divine land.

However, Master Evil didn't understand that Zen had stepped into the divine land like a headless fly, and almost got lost in the Vast Sky Region. Not only that, but he also stayed within a small mountain village in the north of the Vast Sky Region for a long time.

Master Evil did not know that Zen had been sent to the Vast Sky Region because he had sneaked into the divine land. Wynn had carefully chosen the place to secure his first foothold since it was a small region, which didn't make it stand out much in the divine land. Furthermore, it was a relatively stable region, so it also wasn't too dangerous.

The deep voice of Master Evil spoke, “I am a True God and the only goal of my life is to rule over a region. I used to be too bloody and ruthless, which is why I am called Master Evil. Right now, I am hopeless as I have fallen into this kind of situation. I am willing to give up this chance, but if you need my help, I will do my best to help.”

His usually sinister and vicious eyes were filled with sincerity as he spoke to Zen. It was truly shocking, especially if someone else had seen his expression.

A faint smile danced across Zen's lips. Although Master Evil's words were believable, he didn't have to take them seriously. He didn't completely believe that Master Evil didn't want to regain his body. However, Zen wouldn't treat him shabbily in the future.

At that moment, Zen's expression suddenly changed. “Oh no!” he yelled.

Back when Master Evil and Yorick had been in a fierce battle in Zen's mind, the Stone Mouse had devoured Master Evil's belly and leapt down from his body. It looked like it had been longing for something, but now, its eyes were glued on Zen who as at the side of the cave. Its small, beady eyes were dim as it looked at him.

Since Zen was just a world lord, the mouse thought that he was far from being as delicious as a True God, but he was still good food.

Thus, the mouse dashed towards Zen once again at an incredible speed!

"Run! The Stone Mouse is a one-of-a-kind true spirit.

Even though it has just hatched, it still has a huge part of its strength from its previous life!" Master Evil nervously said in Zen's mind.

It was known that many of the true spirits in the divine land were strange in form.

The one-of-a-kind true spirit was really the only one of its kind in the divine land, just as its name suggested.

For instance, the Stone Mouse was a unique being in the divine land. There was no second or other Stone Mice ever, so it could never reproduce. However, it had a miraculous ability of reincarnation.

After it died, a strange mouse-shaped stone materialized in a large mountain in the divine land. This stone absorbed the vitality between heaven and earth for countless years, and then slowly evolved into the Stone Mouse--and that very mouse was in fact the reincarnation of the previous dead mouse. The reincarnated mouse possessed a large part of its strength from its previous life, which was why it was much stronger than even a mid-rank True God after it had hatched.

Therefore, Zen was no match for the mouse given his current cultivation level.

He had learned his lesson from what had happened to Yorick and Master Evil, so he hastily ran away. After a few moments, he quickly entered the hole beside the cave. ṚÅＮö𝔟Ęȿ

“Run to the left!” Master Evil reminded Zen.

It was Master Evil who had carved the small cave in the past, so he knew the way around it very well.

But even if Zen was by no means slow, mouse-type creatures were exceptionally swift--and the Stone Mouse was much faster than Zen when it chased after him.

Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!

Because the mouse was blessed with the strength from its past life, it quickly chased after Zen without breaking much sweat. It let out sharp cries as it ran, which actually sounded a bit…playful?

It climbed along the side of the small hole at an astonishing speed, and its distance from Zen continued to be closer.

In the blink of an eye, the mouse was only three or four feet away from Zen. It stomped down with its tiny but powerful feet and immediately pounced at him!

“Eight Smoky Melodies!”

Zen frowned as he attacked. He couldn't fly nor use the Grand Teleportation technique, and was left with no choice but his movement technique.

Although the Stone Mouse was fast, it didn't expect that Zen had such an ingenious movement technique. It was why even if it had jumped towards him so quickly, he was able to move his body away as if it was a weightless piece of paper. The mouse continued to push Zen forward with its exposed tusks, and maintained a distance of a few inches from him.

When Zen saw this opportunity, he accelerated his speed and ran along the cave.

Then again, the mouse was also extraordinarily intelligent. Ever since Zen had dodged its first pounce, it seemed to have seen through the ingenuity of the Eight Smoky Melodies. Therefore, it wasted no time in bouncing off the mountain wall and proceeded to pounce again from a different angle.

The angle which the mouse launched itself forced Zen into a corner of the cave. While his Eight Smoky Melodies was indeed speedy as well, the technique required space for him to back off and avoid his opponent. After Zen was backed against the wall, he could only move in a horizontal direction along it. Just then, the Stone Mouse smoothly moved nearer to Zen and extended its two long, thin tusks towards his abdomen.

Bang!

There was a muffled sound, and it turned out that the mouse's tusks didn't penetrate Zen's belly--but made contact with his Redemption Armor.

While the True Gods had many ways to pierce through the Redemption Armor and subsequently injure Zen, his Redemption Armor had been made by Holy Drew. It was made from the source of the Godly Tile, which made it truly unbreakable.

The mouse charged forward and attacked with its two tusks, but it seemed like it had just hit a steel plate. It couldn't injure Zen even in the slightest!

“Your armor...”

When Master Evil saw that Zen couldn't avoid the mouse after all, he thought that the young man would die. Thus, he was extremely surprised to see the unbelievable long robe Zen wore in action.

Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!

The cave was filled with the Stone Mouse's angry shrieks. It was frustrated as it also knew that Zen's ordinary looking robe was indestructible. It continued to pounce again until it had actually went through the collar of Zen's robe.

Zen's Redemption Armor could be moved according to his will and quickly covered his whole body at the most critical moments. However, the mouse's speed and reaction time continued to defy Zen's imagination. Before he could cover his entire body with the Redemption Armor, he felt a sharp pain from his shoulder. The Stone Mouse had bitten him there!

It was true that Zen's physical body was tougher than both Master Evil's and Yorick's. However, the Stone Mouse had some sort of theurgy, and even something as sturdy as Zen's body couldn't stop it. Soon enough, the mouse was able to freely travel in Zen's body.

It didn't take long before the mouse had drilled into Zen's abdomen, and it was about to thrust its tusks into Zen's elixir field.

Just then, the black lines that wrapped around his elixir field suddenly glowed and enveloped the mouse's tusks. The black lines had successfully prevented the mouse from devouring Zen's inner world.

The black lines were there to block the connection between Zen and his inner world.

If the Stone Mouse wanted to drill into Zen's elixir field, it would naturally have to cross the black lines first.

However, the Stone Mouse had never seen such strange objects in any of the memories it inherited. Thus, the sight of the unfamiliar black lines caused it to be even more aggressive.
