Chapter 348-2: The Oppressive Presence of the Purgatory Angel (2)
[Origin-Tracing Nurarihyon spreads his arms toward the sky, taking on an embracing posture…]
[The scene inside the laboratory undergoes an earth-shaking change!]
[Countless pods of various sizes on the four walls vanish, and the bone walls also disperse and conceal themselves…]
[The sky turns dim, with dark clouds densely packed, lightning flashing and thunder roaring, and torrential rain pouring down from the heavens like waterfalls.]
[Howling frigid wind carries the downpour as it roars endlessly.]
[Without you noticing, the laboratory has become a desolate sea island. Not far behind you are the dumbfounded Flanda and Kim.]
[At the center of the island hangs an iron prison cage, and within it is the sleeping Ascended Prototype Purgatory Angel.]
[Dark, heavy Divine Thunder Tribulation Cloud covers the entire island. Above, purple lightning churns like dragons. The lightning roaming around the Nine-Tailed Fox makes the hairs stand on end, and you feel trembling numbness across your skin.]
[Battle Angel – Valkyrie draws her longbow and aims at the iron prison cage. Dazzling sunlight continuously gathers upon the arrow…]
[You possess the shell of the Fire-Worshipping Heartless Ninja master!][You open a pale eye. Weak Point Insight activates!]
[Your next attack has an extremely high probability of striking the enemy’s weak point, dealing enormous damage!]
[You lower your body, and Qi within you surges violently…]
[Your right hand tightly grips the hilt at your waist. The Dragon Jade at the hilt blooms with a faint azure glow!]
[With you as the center, the curtain of rain tilts and converges. Sand, stone, and mud flow backward. Gale winds converge into a tornado around you. Vast power continuously focuses toward the Dragon Sword Masamune…]
[…]
[When you feel your power has accumulated to its peak, you nod toward Origin-Tracing Nurarihyon.]
[Origin-Tracing Nurarihyon receives the command, walks briskly to the side, and presses a hand into the air, as if pressing some kind of button.]
[The iron prison cage hanging in midair suddenly opens. The sleeping Prototype Purgatory Angel’s eyelids tremble, as if she is about to awaken…]
[At that moment, a Radiant Light pierces through layers of rain curtain. The end of that Radiant Light is the clone body’s glabella as she is reviving!]
[Your figure vanishes, replaced by a blazing, heaven-shaking sword light!]
[Where the sword light passes, berserk sword qi surges, as if it can cut down all things that dare stand in its way!]
[The Nine-Tailed Fox drags the Purple Lightning Soul-Guard Orb. Behind it appears the phantom silhouette of a celestial fox roaring toward the heavens. Nine tails emerge from behind its hips, and demonic power surges like a raging tide.]
[It focuses its gaze. The intent of Soul-Seizing and Spirit-Stealing erupts from the soul, causing the Prototype Purgatory Angel’s eyes, just about to open, to freeze in place.]
[Dragging the orb, it raises its hand and points toward the prison cage…]
[All light, shadow, and sound nearly vanish. The wild wind ceases, the downpour stops, the sea surface calms, and vision sinks into extreme darkness.]
[Only the heavy tribulation cloud overhead remains, as if it is about to crush the island, so close it feels within arm’s reach, purple lightning roaring within it.]
[In an instant, resplendent purple lightning descends upon the world!]
[From the pitch-black tribulation cloud, a world-ending divine thunderbolt strikes down, erupting in lightning brilliance that illuminates all things between heaven and earth!]
[Dazzling Radiant Light, resplendent divine thunder, and the heaven-shaking sword all erupt together at the instant the young girl opens her eyes!]
[An earthshaking boom echoes across the sea surface!]
[When all light fades, your figure appears once more, landing behind the iron prison cage. You exhale and steady your breath, suppress the surging Qi within you, and sheathe your sword.]
[At the center of the sea island, the slender young girl floats in midair. Behind her, bone wings spread like a blooming flower of death, wrapping around her and protecting her tightly.]
[A thread of blood flows from her forehead, staining the young girl’s exquisite face into something incomparably ferocious.]
[She twists her expression, stares at you, and speaks. You damned maggot, you actually dare to defile the Desire Wet Nurse’s most beloved daughter!]
[She is going to tear your body apart and swallow your flesh and blood alive!]
[The Prototype Purgatory Angel beats her bone wings, and in the blink of an eye appears before you. The sharp bone wings like steel rebars and spikes stab toward you!]
[As the Heartless Ninja master, you have experienced countless battles in your life, but an enemy like the young girl before you, whose power and speed have reached a pinnacle mortals cannot even hope to attain, in your memory exists only in figures like the Great General.]
[Your reaction is fast, but you only barely have time to draw your sword to block, using the power of an Iai slash draw to resist the unmatched strike before you.]
[You only feel berserk power slam into you. Your vision goes black, and you are knocked backward, flying…]
[Your body crashes into the muddy ground. You barely brace yourself with blade and sword, supporting yourself as you struggle to stand.]
[You cannot help coughing up a mouthful of blood. Your sword-holding right arm twists into an irregular shape.]
[You have suffered a near-fatal injury!]
“Damn! This is way too perverse!”
Lin Xun knew the BOSS before him was perversely strong, strong enough that even the Heartless Ninja master almost got instantly killed.
Against such a powerful BOSS, there is no opening at all to switch to a healer shell to recover and heal.
The shell recovery ability of Fire-Worshipping Saio Chisoku-hime is indeed formidable, but against minor monsters there is no need to use it, and against an ultra-strong BOSS you can only use it when you are safe.
With hatred out of control, it really feels like having strength with nowhere to use it.
If he had Battle Angel – Valkyrie use the Abyss Lantern to draw fire and seek an opening to recover and heal, she would probably be instantly killed in a single exchange.
“Later I should have the Nine-Tailed Fox hold the Abyss Lantern. That seems not okay either, the Nine-Tailed Fox is also a fragile mage.”
Lin Xun misses a magic-tank like Shuten Doji, or a heavy armored warrior-type shikigami like Origin-Tracing Otakemaru.
With a great enemy before him, there is no time to think.
[You possess the shell of the Desire-Bearing Greedy Wolf Star Lord!]
[You fly by sword, attempting to quickly distance yourself from the enemy.]
[However, the Prototype Purgatory Angel is faster than you. With a beat of her bone wings, she closes the distance at extreme speed, like an attached bone sore that cannot be shaken off.]
[Seeing the pale bone spikes about to strike again, you take a deep breath. True essence within you surges and roils…]
[In the stormy night, Northern Dipper stars bloom with radiant starlight, piercing the oppressive clouds and layers of rain curtain. All the starlight gathers upon the Star-Shifting Celestial Sword in your hand!]
[The seven stars engraved upon the sword body light up one by one. In the blink of an eye, radiant starlight becomes an incomparably sharp sword gale!]
[The bone spikes pierce through the dense sword gale like a tide, accurately striking the flying sword, and together with the flying sword, they slam toward you.]
[You only manage to drive the flying sword to guard your chest, and you, along with the sword, are blasted away, like a meteor crashing into the ground, splashing up rainwater and mud like an explosion.]
[You have entered a seriously injured state!]
[Blood spills from the corner of your mouth. You feel your chest bones shatter, and every breath comes with intense pain.]
[True essence within you is completely empty, unable to muster even the slightest strength.]
[As your true essence dries up and is exhausted, the effect of Purple Mansion Subtle Starfall Heart Incantation activates!]
[From the Purple Mansion of the shell, surging true essence pours forth without end. In a blink, you recover all true essence, and your fatigued state is swept away.]
[But the powerful heart incantation cannot restore your injuries. You are still in a heavily wounded state.]
[A resplendent purple lightning flashes across the sky. Divine thunder strikes toward the Prototype Purgatory Angel. Just as the young girl is about to drive her bone wings to wrap around her body to defend, her whole body stiffens and cannot move.]
[The Nine-Tailed Fox’s Soul-Seizing and Spirit-Stealing causes the enemy to briefly lose the ability to actively defend.]
[As divine thunder erupts and lightning serpents roam, you notice an abnormal blush rise on the young girl’s face.]
[She seems to have suffered some slight injury.]
[In the distance, Flanda watches you tensely. Her gaze is a bit complicated, as if asking you whether you need her help.]
In this text, the phrase ‘seems to have suffered some slight injury’ appearing for the BOSS is equivalent to revealing the health bar.
If it will reveal the health bar, then there is a possibility of killing it.
It is rare to encounter such an extremely high-difficulty BOSS. Unless he truly cannot hold on, he does not want to lower the reward quality.
The gains of this chapter have already been spread out quite a bit because of the Full-Adaptation Parasite. If he asks for help again, would that not be wasting the Star Lord’s Crowned Diadem for nothing?
Lin Xun grits his teeth and chooses ‘No.’
“Today, I will definitely push you down!”
