Chapter 360-2: Angel Holy Descent, Blood-Colored God-Slaying Judgement (2)
[…]
[Painbearer Belatu suddenly swings its scorpion tail, driving the barbed stinger into Flanda like a massive drill.]
[Flanda has no intention of blocking. Her left arm scythe knocks aside the scorpion pincer swinging toward her, and she allows the stinger to pierce into her body and inject violent venom.]
[Her right arm scythe viciously thrusts into the enemy’s chest and abdomen, tearing open the already miserable wound there. Not only that, the six bone claws on her back also stab into the wound on the enemy’s chest at the same time.]
[The bone claws exert force and tear open the wound, ripping Belatu’s entire thoracic and abdominal cavities apart in an instant.]
[The enemy’s organs and intestines spill uncontrollably out of its body and crash to the ground in a huge mass of twisted, multicolored tissue.]
[Within that mass of flesh, you actually spot a faint, flickering glow…]
[Belatu is gravely wounded, but Flanda is not in any better shape.]
[The stinger buried in her chest continuously injects venom, dissolving and liquefying the flesh on her chest and causing foul-smelling fluid to seep out.]
[As the venom spreads, Flanda’s movements visibly slow to a crawl.][She swings her scythe with all her might and severs the scorpion tail, pulling the remaining segment out of her chest. However, the barbed stinger remains deeply lodged inside, and with no spare time to remove it, it continues to inflict massive damage on her.]
[Painbearer Belatu roars in excitement, then suddenly retreats repeatedly, putting distance between itself and Flanda.]
[Flanda wants to chase, but the spreading venom has greatly reduced her movement speed. She cannot catch up to the enemy at all.]
[You know that Belatu is waiting for the venom to spread further until Flanda loses all ability to move. At that point, it will only need one final blow to win easily.]
[Yet you have no way to stop this. You can only watch helplessly as Flanda sinks deeper into the quagmire of defeat…]
Lin Xun immediately stopped wasting time on useless healing from the healer.
He rapidly used the fate-changing artifact to gain Luck Value and, using his last bit of strength, activated Kagura Dance of Eight Maidens, which could dispel poison.
But not much time had passed since he last used the fate-changing artifact. His Luck Value had not even accumulated to one-third.
Even if Lin Xun got insanely lucky and rolled a high result of 28, it still could not change the outcome.
[…]
[The rank of your dispel skill Kagura Dance of Eight Maidens is too low. It cannot cleanse the negative status.]
“Fuck!”
Lin Xun gnashed his teeth in frustration.
If Bounty of the Harvest Goddess could be used twice, then combined with the boost from the Luck Value, he might have been able to dispel the abnormal status and reverse the battle.
Unfortunately, a near-BUG-level weapon special trait like Bounty of the Harvest Goddess could only be used once.
If he had saved the weapon special trait for last, Flanda would never have lasted long enough to reach the final phase…
The healer Shell’s fatigue value overflowed, and with HP and stamina nearly exhausted, Lin Xun was about to faint. He had no choice but to switch back to the Purgatory Angel again.
[Painbearer Belatu continues to move away from Flanda, circling around with her, always keeping a safe distance, while Flanda’s movement speed grows slower and slower, and she looks thoroughly exhausted.]
[If this continues, it will not be long before Belatu can launch the final, life-or-death strike…]
[Suddenly, you notice that the large mass of flesh and organs hanging from Belatu’s chest and abdomen sways as it moves, briefly exposing the flickering object hidden inside.]
[It is an organ about as long as a normal person’s arm. You focus your gaze and realize that it is the Complete Wet Nurse’s Umbilical Cord!]
Thoughts flashed rapidly through Lin Xun’s mind.
He decisively ordered Nine-Tailed Fox, who had been diligently scratching away at the side, to rush up and snatch it!
The Nine-Tailed Fox’s weapon Awakening Effect gave it a chance to cheat death. If that Awakening Effect could trigger, it would have a very high chance of seizing the Complete Wet Nurse’s Umbilical Cord!
[The Nine-Tailed Fox receives your command and pounces forward without hesitation…]
[Although it cannot match Belatu’s movement speed, having been attacking alongside them this whole time, it discovers that Belatu is running in circles with Flanda.]
[As long as it lies in ambush on Belatu’s path of movement, its tiny body might just go unnoticed and gain the chance to obtain what you desire.]
[Belatu soon moves into the Nine-Tailed Fox’s ambush area…]
[The Nine-Tailed Fox suddenly springs up, leaping toward the mass of flesh and organs hanging from the monster’s chest and abdomen.]
[Belatu suddenly lets out a loud roar, as if it had sensed the Nine-Tailed Fox’s ambush long ago.]
[It does not stop, but instead casually flicks its scorpion pincer…]
[You watch as the Nine-Tailed Fox explodes into a mist of blood under the strike of the scorpion pincer…]
[Your shikigami Origin-Tracing Nine-Tailed Fox has died…]
[Suddenly, the Purple Lightning Soul-Guard Orb in the Nine-Tailed Fox’s hand flares with light!]
[Weapon Awakening Effect Asura’s Wrath activates!]
[A colossal four-armed figure materializes. The enraged Asura roars, and the Nine-Tailed Fox’s voluptuous figure reappears!]
[Your shikigami Origin-Tracing Nine-Tailed Fox, thanks to the weapon’s Awakening Effect, successfully avoids death this time, restoring all limb injuries and 50% HP!]
[It once again lunges toward the mass of flesh and organs on the monster’s abdomen, about to reach out and grab the umbilical cord exposed by its swaying…]
[The scorpion pincer crashes down with full force like a giant hammer. The gust it raises sends the Nine-Tailed Fox flying away before it can even touch the umbilical cord.]
[The scorpion pincer slams down, and the Nine-Tailed Fox once again explodes into a cloud of blood.]
[Your shikigami Origin-Tracing Nine-Tailed Fox has died!]
“So close!”
The despair of a near-success that crumbled at the last moment wrapped tightly around Lin Xun, leaving him feeling utterly powerless.
[Flanda clearly sees the Nine-Tailed Fox’s actions and also spots the umbilical cord on the monster’s chest and abdomen, but she has no strength to catch up to the enemy, much less snatch the umbilical cord from it.]
[Suddenly, Flanda transmits her will to you through the web of consciousness, her frail young girl’s voice echoing in your mind…]
[She will create an opening for you! There will only be one chance!]
[Flanda stops her pursuit and does something you never expected.]
[She abandons her battle form, shrinking into the form of a young girl. Holding a pair of crystal dancing shoes in her hands, she softly calls out to Belatu, Big brother…]
[Painbearer Belatu freezes. It stops in its tracks, its huge eyes staring blankly at the small crystal shoes. The bloodthirsty savagery in its gaze gradually fades…]
[Flanda calls out Big brother loudly and suddenly throws the dancing shoes toward Belatu.]
[Belatu’s gaze follows the arc drawn by the shoes, and it does not even notice that young girl Flanda, moving at an even higher speed, has darted to its front and leaped up to tear the umbilical cord off in one go!]
[Belatu stretches out its scorpion pincer to catch the small pair of dancing shoes, staring at the beautiful light reflected off the crystal shoes.]
[It suddenly roars in fury. The savagery in its eyes surges back, and it falls into a bloodthirsty berserk frenzy, yet a single tear silently slides down from the corner of its eye as it pounces at Flanda…]
[Flanda tosses the umbilical cord to you with a flick of her hand and once again releases her aberrated form, stepping forward to engage the enemy.]
[However, her movement speed and blocking strength are both greatly reduced. It is obvious she cannot hold out for long. Being brutally killed by the enemy is only a matter of time…]
[…]
[You have obtained Complete Wet Nurse’s Umbilical Cord (Mythic item)!]
[Complete Wet Nurse’s Umbilical Cord (Mythic item): …While you hold this item, you can use the Mythic skill Purgatory Angel Holy Descent without any cost.]
[If you fuse this item, you can increase the success rate of Ascension for Purgatory Angel Holy Descent to 50% under the above effects!]
[Please note that Purgatory Angel Holy Descent can only undergo Ascension once. After the Shell dies or refreshes, its cooldown is reset.]
Lin Xun clicked on the item without hesitation, fusing with the Complete Wet Nurse’s Umbilical Cord.
[The blood-and-flesh umbilical cord, as long as a normal person’s arm, sinks into your abdomen and merges with your body…]
[You feel an unknown organ connected to your navel inside your body, containing unimaginable power that surges endlessly!]
Without stopping his inputs, he immediately used the item Purgatory Angel’s Code of Action!
[You have used the Legendary item Purgatory Angel’s Code of Action!]
[The Ascension success rate of your Mythic skill Purgatory Angel Holy Descent has been increased to 100%!]
[This enhancement is extremely short-lived. Please use the skill as soon as possible!]
Lin Xun took a deep breath and pressed the Mythic skill Purgatory Angel Holy Descent!
[You beat your wings and rise into the air. Pale and holy light descends from the heavens, enveloping your entire body…]
[Your body undergoes drastic changes. The spikes on your bone wings grow even larger, and your feet turn into two razor-sharp bone blades.]
[The mass of serpentine feelers atop your head flares and dances wildly. Bone claws erupt from your hands, becoming even sharper.]
[Your body continues to swell. In the blink of an eye, you become a gigantic angel nearly ten meters tall!]
[Endless strength floods your body. You have successfully ascended into a Mythic level Purgatory Angel!]
[Your Shell Quality has been raised to Mythic!]
[All of your skills have been upgraded to Mythic rank!]
[The mighty power of a demi-god permeates your Shell, making you feel as if you can sweep away all enemies!]
Lin Xun continued operating, moving Scarlet King’s Sword into the equipment slot.
[A colossal greatsword shrouded in blood aura appears in your hand. The massive, door-thick greatsword grows in proportion with your enlarged body!]
At this moment, Scarlet King’s Sword’s Bloodshed Point was at zero, not enough to activate its weapon special trait.
Lin Xun narrowed his eyes and used the Ogiwara Clan Command Banner without hesitation!
In an instant, large numbers of Red Armor samurai responded to the summons and appeared.
Steeling himself, he pressed a group attack skill and activated Cruel Thorn Bone Spikes!
In a single sweep, he reaped the lives of most of the Red Armor samurai, causing the Bloodshed Point to overflow.
[…]
[You level the blood-colored greatsword and point it at the massive monster Belatu in the distance, loudly declaring…]
[Judgement shall be given here!]
[Ascended Painbearer Belatu is an evil heretic who has betrayed the true Lord!]
[Belatu’s figure suddenly sinks, as if burdened with some invisible shackles. Every movement of its hands and feet is filled with heavy sluggishness.]
[You successfully inflict the intense weakness negative status on the enemy!]
[Flanda, already covered in wounds from the enemy’s attacks, does not hesitate in the slightest. She lunges forward again, and while the enemy is weak and helpless, she thrusts her bone claws from her back into Belatu’s body…]
[Belatu roars in fury, but because of the weakness status from Sinking Shackles, it cannot break free for the moment and is pinned firmly in place…]
Lin Xun controlled the Purgatory Angel to activate another skill, harvesting the remaining Red Armor samurai entirely into Bloodshed Points.
By now, the Bloodshed Points were enough to unleash the strongest attack of this top demi-god weapon: Bloodthirsty Judgement!
[You clasp the greatsword’s hilt with both hands and hold it vertically before your chest, your gaze fixed on the blade…]
[Endless blood aura surges and boils from the sword, spreading over your entire body.]
[At this moment, boundless slaughter intent takes over your mind and fills your thoughts. You will kill every enemy that stands in your way!]
[You transform into an explosive blood-red meteor, instantly crossing the vast distance and piercing through the enemy’s body with unstoppable force!]
[Belatu is held in place by Flanda’s bone claws and unable to move even a fraction.]
[By the time it reacts, the blood-red meteor has already punched through its body!]
[A gigantic crater opens in its chest and abdomen. Looking through the hollow in its torso from the front, you can clearly see the scenery behind it.]
[Blood sprays in all directions, and only then does the sonic boom loud enough to shatter eardrums reach you. The blood-colored shockwave blasts countless pieces of rubble into the air…]
[The meteor, its blood light burned out, now stands behind Belatu, leaning on the greatsword without turning back to look.]
[The savagery in Belatu’s eyes quickly fades. Using the last of its sanity and strength, it softly calls out two words to Flanda, then collapses to the ground with a crash, never to move again.]
[You have defeated Ascended Painbearer Belatu. Your experience increases massively!]
[The power within your Shell begins to boil. The Shell Level of Ascended Purgatory Angel rises. Current Shell Level: 85 (+5)]
