Mercenary Harem in Murim Novel

A laser, crackled with electricity, shot through the air and hit Heartless Undertaker right on his chest. The man screamed in pain and stumbled back. He didn't die yet, but that should be enough to incapacitate him for a few seconds.

"Go."

With a simple command, Chiaki and Shui jumped to the ravine. Coco turned into a giant alien toy and put Chiaki on its shoulder before running down the ravine. They headed straight toward the corpse army and began to fight.

The corpses were slow and clumsy, but they had great strength and durability. Not to mention, they had no fear of death and fought with all they had.

But, that was no match for Chiaki and Shui.

Coco had a natural shield that covered its body in a sphere shape. The Corpse Army couldn't hurt it and were thrown away instead.

Chiaki and Shui had no problem defeating them.

On the other side, Leo and Jack kept firing the laser and bullet at Heartless Undertaker.

"What a goddamn monster!" Jack shouted, his body pressed on the ground. "How can he take all this damage and not die? Is his skin made of steel or what?"

"It's probably his Qi." Leo answered, his finger kept pulling the trigger.

The railgun was set on the lowest power, but the electric current could still fry a person's brain. It didn't work on Heartless Undertaker, though. The demonic martial artist absorbed the Qi from the living corpse around him to regenerate.

Still, Jack and Leo kept firing their weapons to prevent him from moving. Although the damage was healed, the electricity created from the photon bullet and the railgun kept him immobilized.

By now, the gate was half opened. It would be enough for them to enter.

"Chiaki, do it." Leo gave out command to Chiaki, and she responded immediately.

"Coco, get the gate."

The metal toy nodded and charged forward. Its speed was quick and it could crush anything in its path.

It ran past the corpses, ignoring their attack and stopped in front of the gate. Its hands stretched to the sides, holding the gate together.

Seeing that, Leo grinned and set the railgun to the highest setting.

"Protect yourself, Chiaki."

She immediately put a barrier around her, blocking the light that shone from the railgun.

Bang!

A bright light exploded from the weapon, and a massive shockwave spread throughout the area. A laser larger than before shot forward, straight to the immobilized Undertaker whose expression twisted into something resembling demon rather than human.

"Y-Y-Y..."

He tried to say something but his body was blasted away by the laser, destroying his entire lower body and leaving him unable to move.

But the damage didn't end there.

The shockwave reached the gate and pushed it open, revealing a dark tunnel that led to an unknown place.

After a few seconds, a massive burst of energy erupted from the tunnel. All the corpses in the ravine were blown away, and the ground broke apart.

Chiaki and Coco still held on, keeping the door open. The energy barrier around them shook, but that was it. No further damage was done to them.

And then, the energy stopped. But it didn't end there.

That massive amount of energy from before got absorbed by Heartless Undertaker as he was on the last breath. Instantly, his body regenerated in mid-air as he was blown away from the hidden cave and his expression turned vicious.

Usually, a 7 Stars martial artist would have no hope to survive from that. Not even 8 Stars martial artist, Wandering Sword Saint, would survive against the railgun at highest power.

However, Leo miscalculated. He didn't think the energy from the ruin would heal the Heartless Undertaker from the verge of death. He was like a cockroach, unable to die even when he was killed.

"How dare you!"

He was furious. His body was filled with dark and ominous Qi, and he roared like a monster.

"How dare you interrupt me!"

The air around him became thick with dark Qi, and he rushed forward. His body turned blurry, and he appeared right in front of Chiaki and Coco.

"Move!"

His hand, covered with dark claws, extended forward, ready to tear them apart.

Before he could reach them, Leo shot another beam of energy from his railgun.

The laser tore through the air and hit Heartless Undertaker, throwing him back. Heartless Undertaker's body got destroyed, burned from the high temperature and electricity, and his Qi scattered.

Still, he somehow survived. The thick, ominous Qi in the vicinity kept him alive, as if something wanted him to reach the end of the cave. He regenerated once again albeit slower than before.

Seeing it, Leo gave out another command.

"Shui, enter the cave and secure the epigraph with Chiaki. Put it inside the compressing capsule. Leave Coco to hold the gate for you."

"Roger."

"Yes, Leader."

Shui nodded and entered the tunnel, his sword and his bodysuit protecting him from any danger. He was confident that he could defeat anything inside, as long as he could keep his sword.

Chiaki followed suit right after, leaving behind Coco to guard the gate. Even without the toy, she still had ways to fight and shouldn't be underestimated.

Meanwhile, Leo took away his railgun, returning it to its capsule form and cracked his hands.

"Jack, cover me. I will take care of that guy personally."

"Getting spirited today, Leader? Leave the moving corpses to me and get wild." Jack laughed, his eyes glowing from the helmet.

Leo grinned hearing his subordinate's answer.

"Full release."

As soon as he said that word, his bodysuit morphed into a black armor and covered his body. Only his head was visible, and his expression was serious.

Electricity crackled from his hands and feet, and his eyes shone with bright blue light. He leaped forward, leaving behind a blue trail like lightning, and punched Heartless Undertaker in the face. His fist, coated with a special material, was reinforced and could pierce a diamond.

Bang!

There was a loud bang and Heartless Undertaker's head was crushed. But, he didn't die. It soon regenerated as if time was rewinding.

"Quite tough for a demonic martial artist. But... That's it. Compared to that monster Wandering Sword Saint, you only excel in regeneration and army control. Nothing else."

Leo said, his voice low and menacing.

He punched him again, and his hand glowed with electricity. It spread to Heartless Undertaker, electrocuting him from the inside and destroying his body once more.

"Ahhhh!"

He screamed in pain, his body got burned from the electricity.
