Chapter 958 Sweeping Li City 3
Soon, they began to tremble and yelp, turning around to run. However, how could Shuangtian let them go? The Quest clearly said exterminate, not assassinate, so everyone was gonna die today.
She gestured to her golems and they resumed their attack, killing the rest of the fear-filled dire wolves with ease. Some did manage to escape, but Shuangtian simply sent a golem to hunt them down individually, which was kinda overkill.
Eventually, the last dire wolf was killed and Shuangtian checked her character panel.

She had increased her Eternal Control by .04 since arriving here thanks to her repeated battles with Eternals and trying to fulfill these tasks given her. If she spent more time on it, she would naturally increase further as well.
Shuangtian made sure to record the death of the dire wolves and them blasted away towards the swamp area where that Alligator Eternal monster was supposed to be.
Once she got there, she had to pinch her nose because the stench was terrible. However, her eyes lit up as she created an empty golem core and tossed it down into the murky water of the swamp.
With a bit of energy infusion and some rumbling, a hand popped out of the water and smashed the bank, pulling up a large body that was like wood, but slimy and smelly.
Dun-dun-DUUUNNN, Shuangtian has unlocked the Swamp Golem!
With the swamp golem taking the lead, it was easy for her other golems to traverse the swamp. They killed any monster that came in their way, especially the large reptiles that hid under and liked doing death rolls.
By the time Shuangtian reached the center area, the entire swamp was full of fire, wood, and other elements from the earlier battles. ruining the elemental density.
The Eternal level Swamp Alligator had long been disturbed out of its resting place and was waiting for them quietly in a clearing.

Dirk the Swamp Alligator roared when Shuangtian appeared with her golems and charged at them. Shuangtian also sent her minions forward to fight with all their power, and an epic clash began.
Shuangtian frowned the next second when she saw that Three golems were killed with a single tail swing from Dirk that was imbued with some brownish-green energy.
Looking at her new brownish green golem, Shuangtian could easily infer that this was the swamp alligators own talent, Swamp Control! He had come so far that he could even infuse swamp energy into his physical attacks!
The Golems were strong and provided with infinite energy sure, but they were only as strong as Shuangtian herself and since she had only 1 point of Eternal Control, it couldn\'t easily match up to Dirk.
Shuangtian allowed Dirk to fight to his heart\'s content and eliminate all her golems, not even breaking a sweat as the swamp alligator turned to face her with a look of disdain in its eyes.
Shuangtian landed on the ground and cricked her knuckles as well as her neck, with a smile.
"I could let my golems beat you to death through a swarm tactic… but that wouldn\'t feel as good. Rather, I am going to bask that stupid skull of yours in and hope it drops as an item."
Dirk was filled with fury from Shaungtian\'s words and attacked the next moment, clashing with the bronze-skinned woman. Shuangtian simply punched forward to meet Dirk\'s snout which was imbued with swamp energy.
When the two forces collided, a small shockwave was formed and some weaker trees nearby were cracked at their base. Dirk was sent flying, digging as hole in the soft earth and almost falling into a nearby pool while Shuangtian remained here she stood easily.
When the alligator regained its senses, it was filled with shock at Shaungtian\'s power. Then it became puzzled, because it could roughly sens that Shuangtian was only Rank1 while it was Rank 4, so how could it lose to her?
Could it be that it had measured the rankings wrongly? Maybe Rank 1 was not the lowest level, but the highest level? And the other way round? Because this didn\'t make any goddamn sense!
Shuangtian scoffed at the Eternal monsters confusion and resumed her attack. She moved like a blur, appearing before Dirk before he could even blink. By the time the swamp alligator could even perceive the attack, only one thought had appeared in its head.
\'Fast!\'
BANG!
Dirk crashed through about 5 willow trees in a row, snapping their barks in the middle and causing them to fall into the nearby pools. He himself also fell into a pool and sunk like a rock, disappearing from the battle.
Unfortunately, Shuangtian was not going to allow him to rest, so she appeared near the pool he fell in and charged her fist with a brownish energy. Without touching the water, she punched forward, sending a giant fist that was similar to hers, but made of the brownish energy she condensed.
It smashed into the murky pool and stirred up the water, practically ruining the entire thing. A scream of agony sounded as Dirk was flatten at the bottom, where he had been trying to gather swamp energy to empower himself.
Shuangtian jumped down and with a loud bang, the body of Dirk was sent upwards and flying into the sky, crashing into the ground while the swamp alligator coughed out a mouthful of green blood that was disgusting.
Finally, there was endless fear in its eyes as it gazed at Shuangtian, and it realized that this woman actually had the capital to take its life! Every blow from her felt like being hit by a speeding planet, and he couldn\'t take much more of it.
It activated its swamp control and condensed a giant swamp avatar that was of itself. The energy form roared and clashed with Shuangtian while Dirk himself turned to escape.
"Want to run? After taunting me? How can life be so fair?" Shuangtian mocked as she blasted forward with sonic speed, punching through the summoned avatars with ease.
Dirk, who was fleeing, faltered as he coughed blood and some of it also leaked from his eyes, but he then upped his speed and ran like a madgator. However, what was the point of someone like Killer Croc trying to run away from the Flash?
Dirk only took a step when he felt like he couldn\'t move anymore no matter how much he desperately peddled his stubby legs. Then, his heart fell to his anus from fear when he realized what was going on.
He slowly turned around to see that Shuangtian was casually grabbing his tail, which prevented him from moving an inch forward. Seeing her cold but amused smile, Dirk\'s soul trembled.
Shaungtian\'s lips curled into a malicious grin and said one phrase.
"Support the author on ko-fi."
With that, she began to toss the swamp alligator left and right, smashing him into anything and everything, whether it was nearby trees, the ground or even the water.
He had never been on a roller coaster before, but he was getting the worst part of the experience firsthand, along with endless physical agony and the creeping feeling to death upon him.
"Time to end this." Shuangtian stated boredly as she threw Dirk into the air.
While he was airborne, she cocked her fist back and channeled a huge amount of brownish energy into it. After about 5 seconds of full power condensation, Dirk was about to land on her when she punched his mid-point with all her released force.
The power and energy transfered into Dirk\'s body and caused the swamp alligator to explode into pieces, flesh and blood flying everywhere in the sky like a shower of mercy.
"Whew." Shuangtian sighed as she shook her hand and them looked at what the fellow dropped when he died.

Just like Draco and Eva, Shuangtian didn\'t bother to learn this stuff because it was detrimental to her own growth. Rather, she quickly recorded the death of Dirk and then rushed back to Li City to accept her next set of missions.
Just as it took her a short while to get here, it took an even shorter while to return and as an Eternal, she didn\'t need to stand at the front gate anymore. She just rushed back to the Mercenaries Pavilion and submitted her missions.
Since it would take some time to verify, just like her first submission, she couldn\'t accept any new missions and could only head to her newly purchased residence to rest and wait for the next day.
When she arrived at her villa, she was pleased to see how clean and aesthetic it was, and just as she wanted, there were no other people around. Not only that, but there were not servants to the like.
Why did Shuangtian need them when she had able-bodied golems? Come out my darlings!
The Golems all manifested majestically, with loud booms and thwoms, looking intimidating, powerful and menacing. These fellow could level the entire Li City and probably kill half of the Eternals living here.
It was these same fellows who donned maid attires and began to sweep and clean the entire place while Shuangtian looked on with satisfaction. Their efficiency was high and their motivation was strong!
Shuangtian went up to her room and found it to be free of any spyware, so she jumped into her comfortable water-like bed and snuggled into, deciding to sleep for a while.
Of course, as someone with control and her current bloodline. Sleep was fully optional, but she decided to partake in it today because she still liked it.
In the meantime, the fellows dispatched to verify her tasks were dumbfounded, looking at the evidence she took while checking out the locations of the missions.
Such destruction! Such energy!
… such efficiency!
Who was this sexy bronze-skinned woman who seemed invincible and could summon endless Eternal Golems? Since when did the shitty Mercenaries Pavilion have a powerhouse like this in their ranks?
The fellows were not together and were even miles apart, but the same thought seemed to be collectively running through their heads.
Was their precious little Li City going to be okay in the coming days?
