Chapter 481: Chapter 49: About to Enter the Main Cosmos (Part 2)

Lin Yu found that Legendary Lion-man strangely familiar. He thought back and finally remembered him. This was the same Lion-man hero who had been talking to Yuan Xiaobo before.

’Huh? Isn’t that Yuan Xiaobo’s old rival? His name was Bo... what was it again?’

"My Lord, that Lion-man’s name is Bo Wen."

"Right, Bo Wen. It seems this group of Beastmen we’re chasing is part of their upper echelon, isn’t it?"

"Have our men fall back. I’ll go take them down. We need to hurry; we have other Beastman armies to hunt down afterward."

As Lin Yu spoke, a light flashed in Chenxi’s hand, and several pulses of magic shot toward the Druid heroes on the front lines of the encirclement.

The heroes immediately ceased their attacks in unison, retreated a few steps, and formed a tight circle around the Beastmen.

"Halt! Watch your surroundings!"

Seeing the enemy’s change in formation, Bo Wen didn’t press the attack. Instead, he ordered his men to halt their own assault and stay alert.

Then, he noticed a wind spring up from nowhere in the clearing, gusting toward them.

He frowned and shifted his footing, avoiding the gust.

He then discovered that wherever the wind passed, the heads of his Beastmen simply tumbled to the ground.

"The Wind of Decapitation!!!"

He cried out in alarm. Hearing his shout, the surrounding Beastmen all snapped to their senses, trying to dodge the wind.

But with Lin Yu’s heroes forming an impenetrable ring around them, they could only cluster together, trembling and seeking safety in numbers.

However, hearing their cries, Lin Yu stopped.

"What did you say? The Wind of Decapitation? Are you referring to me?"

Lin Yu pointed at himself, completely dissatisfied with the nickname the Beastmen had given him. It had no style. ’What kind of name is "Wind of Decapitation"?’

’I only decapitate them because it’s the most efficient method. Besides, I can do more than just become wind—I can move at supersonic speeds. Why would they just call me wind?’

Bo Wen was startled by Lin Yu’s sudden appearance. His gaze fell upon the blood-drenched sword in Lin Yu’s hand. "Who are you? Was it you who cut off their heads?"

"Of course. How else do you think their heads came off? You think a gust of wind just blew them off?"

Lin Yu’s answer made Bo Wen let out a long sigh of relief. If the "Wind of Decapitation" had been some unstoppable, mysterious phenomenon, all they could do was wait for death.

But if a Human Race hero was behind it all, then they still had a chance to fight back.

"Flores, cast a spell on everyone to heighten their reflexes and vision! This is our last stand!"

"Hmph."

Lin Yu scoffed in disdain. ’These Beastmen are always the same, thinking they can counter me based on the speed I’ve displayed so far.’

’They have no idea this is just an insignificant fraction of my power, something I’m only showing because I’m controlling my abilities to avoid damaging my surroundings.’

’Since they want to put up a final struggle, I’ll let them get ready... ’

’Wait a minute... villains always let the heroes make all their preparations. I can’t get into that bad habit.’

’Even though I’m not the villain and these Beastmen aren’t the heroes, it’s best to avoid any extra trouble. A lion uses its full strength even when hunting a rabbit.’

With that thought, Lin Yu once again charged the Beastmen at incredible speed.

The Beastmen were prepared this time, but it was useless. Lin Yu still decapitated them with ease. Their preparations only resulted in a few more shattered weapons.

Relying on his Legendary-grade stats and the spell cast on him by the Legendary Hero Flores, Bo Wen managed to dodge Lin Yu’s attack once more.

But seeing the gruesome fate of his men behind him, he roared, "You bastard!"

He then lunged toward the center of the group, reached down, and pulled up another Lion-man from the ground.

"My Lord, the enemy is too strong! You must flee!"

With that, he hurled the Lion-man far out of the encirclement.

’Hm? Trying to run? Not on my watch!’

The moment Lin Yu noticed, he instantly shot forward and snatched him out of the air.

[You have killed a Lord. Lord Experience +200]

"Huh???"

Lin Yu stared in astonishment at the Lion-man Lord in his grasp. The Lion-man’s eyes were wide open, as if he couldn’t accept his death.

"Sigh..."

Looking at the ugly corpse, Lin Yu tossed it to the ground and wiped his hands in disgust.

’So fragile? Was he already injured? Did the wind really just... blow him to death?’

’But... only Level 4? A Lord who could fight Yuan Xiaobo to a standstill is only this level?’

"Tsk."

Lin Yu looked at the encircled Beastmen. He’d originally thought that since their Lord was dead, he would spare them if they chose to surrender.

But after a moment’s consideration, he decided it was better to kill them all.

A few minutes later, bodies littered the battlefield. Lin Yu stood amid the corpses, expanding his consciousness to scan the area, but found nothing suspicious.

’So there was really only that one Lord? Could this be a situation like with Li Hua?’

’Someone just focused on conquering territory without killing other Lords to level up?’

After mulling it over, Lin Yu gave up the search for any other possible Beastman Lords.

"Chenxi, let’s go. We’ll hunt down the next Beastman army!"

"My Lord, should we not search for this army’s true Lord?"

"Forget it. We’ve chased them this far; a grid search is impossible now. Besides, it would take too much time."

"Let’s not worry about him. He’s quite a character, using his entire army as a decoy while he either hides or runs away!"

"We’ll let him go this once!"

...

Afterward, Lin Yu continued to lead his heroes, hunting down other Beastman armies.

The surrounding Human Race Lords also joined in the great chase. Some reaped handsome rewards, while others ran headfirst into an iron wall, getting thrashed by the Beastman armies and sent running for their lives.
