Chapter 2059

When the power of Deathly Silence faded, Kuska was already sitting on the ground, the skin all over his body slowly turning into ashes and peeling off at a slow speed.

Footsteps came. Kuska looked toward the entrance and saw Su Xiao walking over with his long blade.

"I even thought you would never appear again."

As the final boss of Origin Island, Kuska said such words, which shows his mood at this time. When he first saw Su Xiao, he judged that this young man was not his match.

But now, Kuska felt the situation was about to reverse. He was no longer necessarily the young man's match; he was injured too severely.

Su Xiao's pace was not fast, his long blade pointing diagonally at the ground.

Kuska stood up. He knew the battle had only just begun.

During the advance, Su Xiao put away the Apostle's Eye. Kuska's HP was still at 42.6%. The first two Apollos basically didn't hurt Kuska's main body, but it wasn't without gain; it had exhausted the opponent's plant-body HP, which was equivalent to consuming one of the opponent's lives.

The third Apollo had truly injured the opponent, but the opponent had a very strong recovery ability.

The truly decisive factor was Deathly Silence Descends, which severely injured Kuska and forced out the opponent's second recovery ability.

Of the twelve abilities, Kuska had already used five. The others were likely passive types. Among them, the most troublesome "Death Roar" had been used by Kuska when he was "bullying the weak." Su Xiao didn't believe this ability could be used twice in a short period.

Thinking of this, Su Xiao's pace suddenly accelerated.

"Come!"

Kuska was not afraid at all. He might have slept for too long and was a bit talkative, but he still possessed the fearlessness and confidence of a powerhouse.

Su Xiao rushed to within five meters of Kuska in a few steps, blue electric arcs surging on the long blade in his hand. But who knew, Su Xiao suddenly disappeared.

The moment Su Xiao disappeared, Kuska smelled a thick bloody scent. In his perception, two blood-red beast pupils were staring at him from behind, and a large mouth full of sharp teeth grinned, sneering at him.

"Roar!"

The Blood Beast pounced out instantly. Before Kuska could make any move, he had already turned his body, arms crossed in front of him. He was injured too severely and had no chance to dodge the Blood Beast.

With a boom, the blood energy exploded. The Blood Beast was just that simple and brutal.

"Cough~"

Kuska spat out a large mouthful of blood, a feeling of numbness spreading throughout his body.

With a swish, the long blade in Su Xiao's hand slashed his arm. As soon as the blood surged from the wound, it turned into blood energy, forcing the second use of the Blood Beast.

Kuska, whose whole body was numb, grinned, and the second Blood Beast pounced toward his face.

Boom!

Kuska continued to fly backward. So far, he hadn't touched Su Xiao once. Thinking of this, he became angry.

While flying backward, Kuska's gaze just locked onto Su Xiao when he discovered that Su Xiao had already assumed a draw-and-slash posture, his aura suddenly becoming much sharper.

The Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan in its sheath turned black-blue, including Su Xiao's right forearm holding the blade, and the broken-blade-form Exile drifted around him.

Su Xiao, maintaining the draw-and-slash posture, gripped the hilt tightly with his right hand, slowly exhaling blood energy from his mouth. He wasn't having an easy time either.

"Absolute Shadow."

Clang.

The crisp sound of the slash traveled far. Su Xiao turned into a blue afterimage, brushing past Kuska.

Pfft!

Blood splattered everywhere, and Su Xiao slammed into the stone wall opposite with a thud, a large amount of blood splashing onto it.

A large piece of flesh and skin was torn from Su Xiao's side, and a rib was even pulled out.

Su Xiao pressed his arm inward to put the exposed rib back in place. Seeing this, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, who was watching the battle from afar, shivered. Just looking at it was extremely painful.

Su Xiao stood up from the ground, the long blade returning to its sheath with a ding. Absolute Shadow Flash, second stage, Flash!

With a swish, a slash mark appeared on Kuska's neck. The wound wasn't too deep.

Kuska was still flying in mid-air at this time. Centered on the slash mark on his neck, dense slash rays appeared, forming a spherical shape that wrapped Kuska inside, blood splattering everywhere.

Su Xiao rushed forward in a few steps, the Wood Spirit clinging to his lower leg. With the bonus of the Scarlet Angel, he kicked sideways into the spherical slash rays.

With a thud, the spherical slash rays slammed into the wall. Su Xiao flicked his arm, and an injection gun flew out from his sleeve, flipping in mid-air.

Su Xiao caught the injection gun and stabbed it directly into his neck. As the drug was injected into his body, his numb torso regained sensation.

Su Xiao reached his hand into the wound on his side and pulled hard, dragging out a palm-sized plant—the Diba sub-body.

Throwing the Diba sub-body aside, Su Xiao disappeared from where he was. When he appeared again, he was already in front of Kuska.

Just as the slash rays on Kuska's body faded, he saw Su Xiao two meters in front of him.

"Blade Dao Blade - Magic Blade!"

Blue flames rose on the Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan with a whoosh. Su Xiao gripped the blade with both hands, leaned down slightly, and slashed out.

Clang.

The long blade slashed across Kuska's chest, cutting his entire chest open, blood splattering everywhere.

"Ah, yeah?"

Kuska took two steps back and leaned against the stone wall. Execution-type abilities are just that unreasonable. No matter what kind of final boss you are, once your vitality is weakened to a certain degree, even a god must be slashed down.

"That slash... was beautiful."

Kuska slumped to the ground with a thud, his back against the stone wall, the spirit in his eyes fading rapidly. The long blade in Su Xiao's hand took the opportunity to pierce through Kuska's head, pinning him to the wall.

"Thank... you."

Kuska's arms hung down powerlessly. Roots of the Diba sub-body broke out of his body, roaring silently at Su Xiao, while the expression on Kuska's face before death was clearly one of relief.

The Diba sub-body twitched and withered unwillingly, and Kuska's corpse gradually turned into fly ash.

"Veronica..."

A faint voice came. Su Xiao didn't know the story of Kuska, Mogro, and Veronica, but it must have been a tragedy.

Su Xiao flicked the blood off his long blade.

"Wang!"

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang appeared, just about to celebrate the victory over the big boss.

With a thud, Su Xiao fell to the ground. In this battle, the enemy hadn't actually injured him much, but he had used his ultimate moves one after another, putting a huge burden on his body.

"Wang-ooo?"

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was so startled he almost spoke human language. He ran up quickly, first using his ability to help Su Xiao recover a small portion of HP, then hurriedly handed over the Ancient Secret Medicine.

After drinking a bottle of Ancient Secret Medicine, the stinging pain in Su Xiao's body faded rapidly.

【Notification: The Hunter has killed the overlord-level creature Kuska.】

【Notification: Kuska is the strongest creature in this world.】

【Because Kuska is the guardian of the transcendent plant Diba, no World's Source reward can be obtained after killing him.】

【You have obtained 100 Soul Coins. You can exchange them for any required rewards from the following rewards. If the Hunter does not make a choice within five minutes, it will be exchanged randomly.】

1. Overlord Essence x1 (Rare material)

Price: 20 Soul Coins

2. Death Roar (Skill scroll, requires completion of the Sacred Object Ritual to exert the full power of this skill).

Price: 36 Soul Coins.

3. Sacred Object Ritual (This is a knowledge-type reward, requires obtaining a Diba seedling to perform the Sacred Object Ritual).

Price: 41 Soul Coins.

4. Diba Extract Liquid x1 (Permanent enhancement potion; after use, permanently increases neural reflex speed by 35%, increases HP by 3000 points, and increases abnormal attribute resistance by 96 points.)

Price: 95 Soul Coins.

5. Diba Seed x1 (Ultra-high activity; if the environment is suitable, it can be planted.)

Price: 5 Soul Coins.

After seeing these five rewards, Su Xiao purchased all of them except for Reward 2 and Reward 3, spending a total of 120 Soul Coins. The Soul Coins obtained from killing Kuska alone were indeed not enough, but after killing the Moon God in the previous world, he still had 35 Soul Coins left. The Soul Coins produced by gods are very special and numerous, and can be used universally from Tier 1 to Tier 6.

After completing the exchange, Su Xiao still had 15 Soul Coins produced by the Moon God left.

Putting away the 【Overlord Essence】 and 【Diba Seed】, Su Xiao drank the 【Diba Extract Liquid】 directly. Although the injection effect is better, drinking it is safer.

As soon as the slightly sweet plant juice entered his abdomen, Su Xiao felt as if there was a fire burning in his chest.

Before Su Xiao could recover, the Reincarnation Paradise notification appeared.

【The Hunter has successfully killed the overlord-level creature Kuska.】

【The stripping of the World Core is about to begin.】

【The Emerald Vine has been successfully modified.】

【The Hunter is about to receive the recovery effect of the Emerald Vine. This recovery is free and has no side effects.】

【The Hunter will temporarily replace the overlord-level creature Kuska, located within the Emerald Vine.】

【If a contractor from the Apocalypse Paradise is teleported into the greenhouse, an Overlord Battle (boss battle) with the Hunter will be triggered.】

【Overlord-level template is being temporarily granted...】

【Granting complete. The Hunter has temporarily obtained the following abilities. Due to interference from the Apocalypse Paradise, the level of the granted abilities has been reduced. The following abilities will disappear after leaving this world.】

Temporary Overlord Skill 1: Overlord's Pride (Passive, lv. 30), HP +15000 points, immune to physical control, immune to all damage by 25%.

Temporary Overlord Skill 2: Soul Tremor (Active, lv. 20), the Hunter can release a soul shock, range 50 meters, causing soul damage equal to the body's soul strength x5, and causing a 1-3 second soul stun effect. Cooldown is 3 minutes, consuming 1000 mana points per use.

Temporary Overlord Skill 3: Reincarnation Rebirth (Passive, lv. 50), the Hunter can recover 70 HP/mana points per second.

Temporary Overlord Skill 4: Savage Soul Slaughter (Overlord-level ultimate skill, lv. 15) This ability has been interfered with by the Apocalypse Paradise and is now invalid.

Seeing the Reincarnation Paradise notification, Su Xiao was clearly quite surprised. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang also saw these notifications. It was very curious about the overlord skill called "Savage Soul Slaughter." Unfortunately, this kind of temporary skill was interfered with by the Apocalypse Paradise, looking very much like a final act of defiance.

The Emerald Vine on the stone gate slowly stretched, wrapping Su Xiao inside to form a sphere four meters in diameter, then retracted into the recess above the stone gate.

Seeing this scene, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang blended into the environment with a wicked smile. It seemed to have already seen the scene when the contractors from the Apocalypse Paradise were teleported into the greenhouse and triggered the "Overlord Battle." Perhaps at that time, the contractors from the Apocalypse Paradise would still receive a notification?

【Notification: You have triggered an Overlord Battle. The overlord-level creature Kukulin Bai Ye is about to wake up. Please prepare for battle.】
