Chapter 2409

~9 min read 1,646 words

White Bull turned his head slowly, looking sideways at Baha, who had landed on his shoulder. His exoskeleton grew rapidly, wrapping White Bull's exposed face.

*Snap! *

Baha's claws grabbed onto the exoskeleton on White Bull's face. A massive force pushed back, and Baha had to shuttle through space continuously to stabilize his figure.

"Hey!"

White Bull shouted. He was notifying the few people on the main street behind him that the situation on his side wasn't right. As for why he didn't shout anything else, Su Xiao didn't give him the time.

Killer Bee on the main street heard the shout. While aiming at the Immortal Man, she raised her middle finger to show her disdain for White Bull's behavior—doing the easiest job, yet shouting as loudly as a slaughtered pig.

Inside the gate hole of the high wall, a wave of air spread from behind White Bull. With a 'Bang!', he was kicked out of the high wall's gate hole, flying outside Omen Town.

The spatial fluctuations subsided. Su Xiao rushed out of the gate hole in a few steps; he wanted to finish the fight quickly to avoid alerting others in the town.

White Bull rolled on the ground a few times, dirt flying everywhere. His hands plowed into the soil, barely stabilizing his figure. He had dual main attributes of Strength and Constitution; he didn't know why, despite his Strength attribute being higher, he had been kicked away by a single kick.

"A close-quarters combat technique? Is the blade a disguise?"

White Bull stood up from the ground, shaking the dirt off his hands.

A whistling wind rushed toward his face. White Bull seemed unable to react, but in reality, the corners of his mouth under the exoskeleton were smiling.

"Brave Walk."

White Bull's eyes widened, and brownish-yellow light converged toward Su Xiao. This was some kind of control ability.

*Boom! *

Su Xiao delivered a straight kick, landing on White Bull's lower abdomen. White Bull didn't feel any sharp pain, but his body went numb. Instead of controlling the enemy, he was controlled by the enemy.

With a 'Clatter!', a bone bead embedded in White Bull's waist exploded. This was one of his core abilities, capable of reducing control effects.

Then White Bull discovered that his body was still numb; the control removal had failed. The attack flaw wasn't a control ability at all. The numbness of his body was caused by 'Force Counter-Impact'. Part of White Bull's own strength, plus Su Xiao's straight kick, had all concentrated on one point, and then this point spread, affecting most of White Bull's body.

A control ability was like a net being cast; if you slashed it with a 'blade', you wouldn't be caught—that was control removal. But an attack flaw was an attack already acting on White Bull's body; unless he could push his body beyond its limits in a short time, there was no way to remove the numbness.

Checking Zhan Long Shan sliced through the air. With a 'Swish—', it slashed across White Bull's neck. The resistance from the blade was quite strong; White Bull had concentrated the defensive power of his entire exoskeleton on his neck.

Blood droplets splashed in mid-air. White Bull retreated a few steps, covering his spurting throat with one hand, his eyes full of disbelief. He saw a huge list of combat logs.

【Warning: You have been invaded by unknown energy.】

【Warning: Your Mana has burned by 597 points.】

【Warning: You have been eroded by unknown energy. You have received 1165 points of True Damage + 81 points of True Damage (Demon's Mark) + 826 points of Critical Slash Damage (Ultimate Ability has reduced this by 31%) + 457 points of Sharp Blade Damage (Ultimate Ability has reduced this by 31%) + 240 points of Physical Defense Ignoring (Soul Cutting) + 312 points of Physical Defense Ignoring Damage (Soul Hunting Scythe) +...】

【Your defense has been reduced by 8%, lasting for 30 minutes (this effect can stack).】

After this huge list of warnings and damage judgments appeared before his eyes, White Bull was stunned. Counting everything, including equipment bonuses, he only had 2560 points of Mana. With this one slash, a quarter of his Mana was gone.

Compared to the Mana burn, he wanted to know more about what that pile of True Damage + Defense Ignoring Damage was, and that ridiculously high 'basic attack' intensity. What kind of monster was this? How many passive abilities had he stacked to have so many attack judgments? Someone who stacked passives this fiercely was definitely a pervert—no, a devil.

Most importantly, what was up with that 1165 points of True Damage? How could anyone have True Damage higher than regular attack damage? Wasn't True Damage usually added on at the end?

White Bull covered his throat with one hand, blood gushing out from between his fingers. He felt that it didn't matter what tier the other party was; what mattered was that the other party was treating him like a child being disciplined—he was his natural enemy.

What is a tank-type's greatest strength? The answer is powerful defense and body, plus various control abilities.

As for defense and a powerful body, Qing Gang Ying's True Damage was a perfect counter. As for control abilities, don't even mention it; it was too hard for White Bull. Over 80% of Qiyuezhe specializing in control couldn't control Su Xiao. White Bull wasn't a team-type tank; he didn't have field-type abilities, and those kinds of control abilities were so expensive they made one doubt life.

"It's just forming a team, do you have to draw your blade as soon as we meet?"

White Bull roared with all his might, both to stall Su Xiao and to call for help from the others inside the high wall. If it were anyone else, they would never be as miserable as he was right now.

"Blade Dao Blade · Blue Ghost."

*Clang. *

A blue blade glow slashed past, and one of White Bull's horns and a small piece of his skull were slashed away.

*Thud! *

White Bull slammed a fist into the ground, gravel and dirt flying everywhere like a scattering of flowers. The gravel hitting Su Xiao's face felt faintly painful. The enemy's strength was far greater than his, but his speed was weaker; he had to rely on this to fight.

Su Xiao made a move to rush forward, intending to pass by White Bull's side and get behind him. Seeing this, White Bull lunged forward, his arms coiling. He knew that as long as he caught the enemy, he would have a chance.

*Bang, bang. *

Two muffled sounds. Su Xiao stepped on White Bull's chest with one foot and on White Bull's face with the other, leaping up.

While in mid-air, Su Xiao sheathed the long blade in his hand. The moment the long blade left the sheath, over a dozen blade glows flew toward White Bull.

*Squish, squish, squish... *

Shattered exoskeleton and blood splashed everywhere. When the slashes stopped, White Bull had his arms crossed in front of him, blood dripping from his fingertips. He gasped for breath, his eyes looking left and right, searching for Su Xiao's position.

With a 'Boom!', Su Xiao appeared in front of White Bull. The two stared at each other, light blue electric arcs surging on Checking Zhan Long Shan.

"It's over."

This was White Bull's final thought. He patted his own chest with one hand, activating the explosives inside his exoskeleton. Among the Qiyuezhe of Apocalypse Paradise, there was no lack of men with backbone.

*Snap. *

The long blade pierced through White Bull's chest. White Bull looked down at his chest, confused as to why the thing hadn't exploded.

"BNTT-815 type explosive. It detects your vital signs and can explode in various environments. Apocalypse tank, you carrying this stuff is a bit outdated on our side. As long as you pierce the inner core device and introduce energy of a specific frequency, it will delay for a while before exploding. The manufacturer calls it the 'Sickle-Tailed Snake'."

Baha's voice faded in White Bull's ears. He suddenly remembered that this time the enemy was from Reincarnation Paradise, and the manufacturing technology for that explosive was said to have come from there.

As for why White Bull didn't use other explosives, the reason was simple: this kind of explosive, specifically used for mutual destruction, was basically not developed by anyone in Apocalypse Paradise. This explosive would detect the user's heartbeat, blood oxygen content, organ integrity, and even the activity of energy within the body, so there would never be a case of accidental detonation.

With a 'Thump!', White Bull fell to the ground, not begging for mercy even in death.

Su Xiao pulled out Checking Zhan Long Shan and raised his hand to wipe the blood off his face. The opponent's strength was far greater than his; the flying stones had left bloodstains on his face. As for speed, White Bull's Agility attribute was only around 130 points, and he didn't have the ability to support it.

Su Xiao grabbed White Bull's horn, his muscles slightly bulging. After aiming, he threw White Bull's corpse into Omen Town.

On the main street in front of the main gate of Omen Town, the Captain and Oisi were fighting the Immortal Man, while Killer Bee provided long-range support from dozens of meters away.

With a 'Boom!', a corpse wrapped in an exoskeleton slammed down. After rolling a few times, the corpse lay face up. Inside the shattered exoskeleton on its chest, one could vaguely see the explosive—an already activated explosive.

Seeing this, the Captain and Oisi, over thirty meters away, were shocked and immediately lunged into a nearby building, various protective abilities added to their bodies.

*Thud! *

Flames shot into the sky; White Bull had successfully blown up his teammates.
