Chapter 2058

~7 min read 1,373 words

Mogro pounced on Kuska with great momentum, reaching him in a few strides.

"Move aside."

Kuska waved his arm. His swinging motion was extremely bizarre—very slow at first, then suddenly accelerating.

Bang~

The upper half of Mogro's body was smashed to pieces, but the next moment, undead cells surged, and Mogro's body reassembled.

If comparing lethality with Kuska, ten Mogros wouldn't be a match, but Mogro was tough—very tough.

A large number of black tentacles surged toward Kuska. The current Mogro had abandoned the basic appearance of a human; except for his brain, other parts of his body had completely turned into undead cells.

Although Mogro had turned into a blob, his speed and resistance to damage were stronger, and he completely blocked Kuska's path.

Seeing this scene, Kuska's expression became solemn; things were becoming a bit troublesome.

Pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft...

Su Xiao, holding the D-Assassination, fired 12 shots in a row from a distance. However, the actual effect wasn't great. In this level of battle, Su Xiao's level of marksmanship was quite average, and the enemy was too fast.

Kuska grabbed the undead cells wrapped around him with one hand and tore off a large piece with a rip. However, Mogro surged toward him with a death-defying attitude.

"A bit... bad."

Although Kuska said this, a smile appeared on his face.

"Die~, you, die..."

A voice came from within the pitch-black undead cells. Hearing this voice, Kuska was actually distracted for a moment. At this very moment, the sense of crisis suddenly intensified.

A gelatinous object was thrown over. The person who threw this thing had extremely precise control over power; Kuska even suspected that if he had opened his mouth just now, the opponent could have thrown this explosive right into his mouth.

"Very accurate."

Kuska muttered.

Thud!

Solar fire rose, swallowing both Kuska and Mogro. The vines above the stone gate retracted into the stone wall with a whoosh.

The solar fire surged wildly, soon rushing out of the clearing and into the corridor at the entrance, spreading all the way to a small pond. The crystal layer in the pond blocked it for a moment before being incinerated. The clear water evaporated into gas due to the high temperature, and the water vapor was quickly baked dry.

After a full ten seconds, the solar fire dissipated in this sealed space. Some kind of power was protecting this place, preventing the terrain from being too badly damaged, but the surrounding stone walls had melted into a layer of magma, which was slowly dripping down.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Kuska stood in the magma. 80% of his body surface was carbonized, but looking at his appearance, he was clearly still able to fight.

Kuska patted his head, and the plant roots wrapped around his body turned into charcoal. The true damage of the Apollo was no joke. If it weren't for the astonishingly high HP of the Diba sub-body within Kuska, this single hit alone would have at least left Kuska severely injured.

What puzzled Kuska was that the sense of crisis around him hadn't disappeared. He scanned his surroundings and soon saw something very familiar a few meters away. It was too close; it was too late to escape.

"So there was another one."

Diba roots climbed onto Kuska's body again. The next moment, the solar fire exploded; the second Apollo had arrived.

When the solar flames faded for the second time, Kuska could no longer maintain his original composure. He arched his body, gasping for breath.

But what Kuska didn't expect was that the sense of crisis was still there.

Kuska tilted his head to look beside him. A fiery red heart was beating. This thing was called the 【Solar Flame Heart】, a trophy Su Xiao had obtained in the previous world. After Su Xiao extracted the blood inside, the value of this thing dropped significantly, so he modified it into the Apollo-Modified, which was a cut more powerful than the Apollo.

As things developed to this point, Kuska's cheek twitched. He had only met his opponent once, and he was almost blown into an idiot.

Thud~

The Apollo-Modified exploded. This time, more solar flames surged out, and the temperature was even higher. It had to be said that Su Xiao's way of dealing with Kuska was very "just"—so "just" that Kuska wanted to roar, "If you have the ability, let's fight head-on!"

However, Su Xiao would not fight Kuska head-on. He felt that his greatest advantage was self-awareness. The main reason he could defeat the Moon God was that his original soul strength was relatively high, and he had used items to temporarily increase his soul strength.

And more than 90% of the Moon God's attack abilities were aimed at the soul. Otherwise, if he had fought the Moon God, Su Xiao would definitely have been the one to die.

Su Xiao knew he couldn't beat the Origin Island's final boss head-on, so he simply didn't fight head-on, using the triple Apollo for a "just" beating.

When the third wave of solar flames faded, Kuska staggered a few steps and sat down in the magma layer on the ground with a splash. His left arm was already gone.

Kuska was in a sorry state, but if one looked closely, one could see his eyes were still sharp, waiting for the enemy to appear at any time. At this moment, he had already activated the "Twin Coexistence" ability, and his HP was recovering rapidly, with the effect lasting for 30 seconds.

But after a while, Kuska found that the enemy hadn't shown up. He walked on the magma and reached the stone corridor at the entrance. After turning the corner, he found the stone corridor empty.

Kuska could not leave the greenhouse, or the Diba sub-body within him would forcibly control him, preventing him from doing so.

Seeing the empty stone corridor, Kuska's expression was stunned for a moment, because the enemy had actually run away, and his ultimate ability "Twin Coexistence" was almost a waste.

Kuska's body trembled slightly; this was out of anger. A moment later, he turned back to the clearing, stood under the stone gate, and raised his arm. Several vines emerged from above the stone gate and wrapped around Kuska. As long as he was wrapped by these vines, it wouldn't take long for his condition and his arm, which had been incinerated to ashes, to recover.

But at this very moment, a gray energy spread over. The surrounding world turned black and white, and cotton-like objects drifted in the air.

The surrounding magma cooled rapidly and turned into volcanic rock, looking as if it had been eroded by time.

The vines emerging from above the stone gate retracted with a whoosh, and Kuska's single arm remained raised in mid-air.

"Deathly Silence Descends."

That's right, Su Xiao had used Deathly Silence Descends in the cave leading to the pond. He had calculated that this was exactly 100 meters away from Kuska, and the maximum lethal diameter of Deathly Silence Descends was 300 meters. 300 divided by 2 is a radius of 150 meters, so even then, there was a 50-meter safety margin.

The moment he was shrouded by the power of Deathly Silence, Kuska felt his body become sluggish, his thinking began to become inflexible, and severe pain came from all over his body. The Diba sub-body within him let out bursts of wails. If this continued, the Diba sub-body would wither.

"Ah!!"

Kuska roared. He now somewhat understood Mogro's anger just now. If Mogro knew in the afterlife, he would probably say in his unique, gloomy voice: "Well done."

Mogro was dead. When the second Apollo exploded, he had been incinerated to ashes. Due to the alliance relationship, plus the fact that more than 80% of Mogro's injuries were caused by Kuska, Su Xiao didn't receive any reward, only the notification that Mogro was dead.

Su Xiao had long expected Mogro to die, but he didn't go soft. Being hesitant and indecisive was simply not his style. Battle is a matter of life and death; the enemy might die, and the friendly side, or even Su Xiao himself, could of course also die.
