SCP Corporation: Contain Bonfire-Chapter 164: The Deathless Object_1

Boom!!!

A massive explosion resounded through the skies, and the terrifying blast waves shattered the constantly flowing, pitch-black monster into smithereens in an instant.

It seemed to have been unaware that the offerings these guys had sacrificed to it were actually filled with explosives.

After suffering destruction, it instinctively let out a piercing howl on the spot.

And the splattered black viscous matter, too, returned to the main body at an incredibly fast speed while it howled.

Compared to the beginning, this part of its body appeared to have been damaged, but not much.

"Too bad, if only we had those bombs filled with explosives or something, it would have made things a lot easier..."

Colin muttered to himself, then pointed at the monster and continued to issue orders to "Good Brother":

"Keep bombing!"

As his words fell, six prepared Money Slaves, carrying specially made explosives, charged towards the terrifying monster and detonated the explosives less than a meter away from it.

Horror-filled explosions followed one after another, but one Money Slave was slightly slower to react and was touched by a tentacle transformed by the "Formless Mother," then in an instant, turned into a black, sticky liquid...

Right after that, Colin’s head throbbed, and his soul experienced a pain as if it were being torn apart.

At the same time, amidst intense pain, he realized something...

From now on, the summoning cap of "Slave to Money" dropped from the original ten slaves to nine.

"Damn! Such extreme assimilation!?"

Colin suppressed the tearing pain. When he had been planning the attack, he had considered the possibility of losing some Money Slaves, but he didn’t mind because "Good Brother" was always meant for one-time use.

But he hadn’t expected that being devoured by the enemy would make it truly "one-time."

If his luck had been any worse just now, the effect of the "Slave to Money" item might have been halved.

Meanwhile, Dog Brother and the others also began to act as planned...

"Take my strongest hit!"

Brother Xu took out a coin, then fused it with a "Murky Energy Crystal Block," and flicked it towards the enemy with all his might.

In an instant, blinding lightning illuminated the area, striking directly on that 0.1% of the "Formless Mother" and blasting it into a pile of mud.

Colin could clearly see that around the tar-like body of the "Formless Mother," electrical arcs entwined it, and although it still seemed unharmed, its vitality had obviously dropped.

Then, after the flash of electric light, a deafening rumble resounded, exploding in everyone’s ears...

The coin in Brother Xu’s hand showed signs of melting and was visibly damaged, although still usable, its power was clearly reduced.

He took a brief look at the repair price, and his expression slightly changed—it was over two thousand points.

After he had dealt a heavy blow, the Loafing Immortal decisively made his move, raising his right hand, showing a talisman paper with "Flora" written on it on his wrist.

This was also a one-time magical item, but compared to others, it was one of the five trump cards in his possession.

"Binding spell!"

As he finished speaking, the talisman paper sprouted air roots like a banyan tree, piercing into the ground, then quickly, vines broke through the soil around the monster, attempting to wrap and bind it.

However, to his dismay, these vines melted into the same black water within three seconds of touching its body, even climbing rapidly along the other parts that had not been assimilated yet.

Seeing this, the Loafing Immortal quickly stopped using the "Talisman Paper" to prevent it from becoming contaminated all the way.

"Don’t panic, I’m here, just kill it!"

On the other side, Dog Brother was preparing to have his Four-Armed Citizens charge and damage that thing, but Colin stopped his action.

"Don’t get close, once you touch those summoned creatures, your equipment will suffer irreversible damage, we need to change our battle plan, make sure you avoid contact with it in your next attacks... Damn it!"

Colin frowned, just as he began to redraw the battle strategy, he suddenly noticed that the "Formless Mother," which had been continuously beaten from the moment it appeared, suddenly "boiled," its body shrinking...

No, he noticed, parts of the creature appeared to be rapidly seeping into the ground.

"Is it trying to run?" 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Colin immediately realized what was happening, bit his teeth, knowing they couldn’t afford to take their time.

If they let it escape, all their efforts would be for naught.

Right away, he flung ten pieces of "Decree Book·Fragment" from his right hand, which looked like pieces of yellow paper and floated in mid-air as if gravity didn’t affect them.

At the same time, Colin raised his right hand and chanted, "The mystical effect here shall be intensified!"

As his words fell, the ten "Decree Book·Fragment" melted away and disappeared like snow, and immediately after, Colin felt the area around him become "denser."

And it was at this moment...

The clouds tore apart, a ray of sunlight pierced through the Dark Cloud, descending upon Rain City.

Accompanied by this sunlight was something Colin was all too familiar with—

["1-24 ’Formless Mother’" suddenly did not want to run away anymore. It became extremely angry, feeling desecrated, and felt a strong compulsion to take revenge, to turn all desecrators into part of itself.]

[Based on its inherent madness, this sudden transformation was obviously worth contemplating.]

When this information appeared, Colin’s scalp tingled, feeling a terrifying aura locking onto him, then he saw the tar-like monster surge towards him.

"This damn thing..."

Colin couldn’t help but curse inwardly, he had used the "Decree Book" in such a way because the "Subsidiary Document" mentioned that it was best not to directly use it on the creature itself.

Instead, it was to briefly restore order to the place, allowing the power of the "Script Book" to intervene.

Only he did not expect that it would pull a fast one on him as soon as it appeared, forcing him to confront the monster head-on.

But when the "Formless Mother" was halfway through its pounce, it suddenly fell straight from the sky...

[Due to being extremely angry, "1-24 ’Formless Mother’" did not realize that its actions had violated the rules set by the "Rule Book" here, and it was too late to guard against the punishment of the rules...]

[After a fair trial, the punishment given is... "death penalty"!]

When this line of information appeared, a chill went through Colin’s heart; he felt a fearsome power erupt within the "Formless Mother." Then he saw the "Formless Mother" freeze in place as if hit by something unknown, its entire body stiffened for a moment then collapsed onto the ground, like a lump of mud, seemingly about to die at any moment.

But Colin was well aware, as mentioned in the "Subsidiary Document," that this creature somehow possesses the trait of being "immortal."

No matter how it’s damaged, it won’t die.

At least the conventional concept of death would not apply to it.
