Chapter 104: A Limitless 1-for-1 Trade!
Su Chen's spirits lifted suddenly, and all his fatigue and pain seemed to be temporarily dispelled by this glimmer of hope.
But new problems also arose.
That weakness only appears for the briefest moment when the Skeleton Demon unleashes its Soul Roar, a moment so short it lasts less than a thousandth of a second.
Unleashing the Soul Roar also means that he will once again endure that terrifying soul impact.
He must deliver the most precise and fatal blow at the very moment when he is enduring a soul-shattering impact and his consciousness is about to be completely crushed.
This is no longer a simple operation; it's gambling your soul for a fleeting opportunity.
If you lose the bet, your soul will be scattered.
You only get one chance!
On the battlefield
The skeletal demon general noticed the retreating demon army below under the modern firepower of the Dragon Kingdom, and it lost patience.
The enormous, mountain-like head slowly rose, and the flames of the soul flickered violently in its empty eye sockets.
The gaping maw, like an abyss, suddenly opened wide.
The silent roar of the soul is about to erupt once more!
"It's coming!"
Command Center
Lin Xue's heart clenched instantly, and her arm supporting Su Chen trembled.
She had witnessed firsthand the horrific state Su Chen was in after the last attack, and she dared not imagine the consequences if it happened again.
However, although Su Chen's body was swaying precariously, his will was concentrated to the extreme at this moment.
His entire spiritual power has penetrated through space.
It locked onto the core bone armor on the skeletal demon general's chest, which was about to momentarily freeze amidst the flow of energy.
His mental strength was nearly exhausted, and warm blood dripped uncontrollably from his nose.
My consciousness began to fade, and the whole world was spinning.
But he clenched his teeth so tightly that the tip of his tongue was bitten and bled.
The intense taste of blood exploded in my mouth, and the excruciating pain forced me to maintain my last shred of consciousness.
He poured all his remaining spiritual energy into the Candle Dragon's body without reservation and with fervor.
This is a last-ditch effort, a gamble with everything!
High above
The previously dim Candle Dragon mech suddenly burst forth with an unprecedentedly brilliant light!
On the surface of the golden dragon scales, countless mysterious runes flowed wildly, and the enormous energy even caused the surrounding space to begin to distort.
"roar!!!"
The skeletal demon general clearly sensed the abnormality of this energy and felt a deadly threat.
It stopped gathering its strength, and the accumulated soul energy in its open maw transformed into an invisible destructive shockwave that suddenly erupted!
The attempt was to completely obliterate the damned manipulator from the soul level before the other party could make a move!
East China Sea defense line
Countless surviving elites and superhumans looked at the sky in despair.
They saw the Candle Dragon burst forth with astonishing light, and they also saw the Skeleton Demon General open its gigantic maw, which brought endless terror, once again.
In their eyes, he was like the last guardian deity of the Dragon Kingdom.
It is burning itself out in a final struggle.
Is everything coming to an end?
Just moments before that devastating soul shockwave arrived.
Su Chen moved.
Or rather, the Candle Dragon moved.
hum!
The excruciating pain of his soul being torn apart descended once more, and Su Chen's entire world instantly collapsed into endless darkness and chaos.
His consciousness was shattered by the violent energy and was on the verge of completely collapsing.
But in the last thousandth of a second before consciousness completely dissipated.
An instruction imprinted with all one's will was successfully sent out.
"cut!"
boom!!!
High in the sky, the Candle Dragon mech that was originally hovering disappeared from its original spot in an instant!
It traversed thousands of meters of space in an instant at a speed that surpassed the laws of physics and exceeded the limits of everyone's understanding!
There was no sonic boom, no blast wave.
It's like teleporting directly from one coordinate point to another.
The next instant, it appeared on the chest of the Skeleton Demon General!
The battle axe, burning with golden flames, slashed down with the perfect angle and the most precise trajectory, carrying all the energy within the Candle Dragon!
The target is precisely the only flaw deduced by the "Heart of the Prophet"!
The core bone armor that experienced a one ten-thousandth of a second of energy stagnation due to the use of Soul Roar!
Snap!
A crisp, shattering sound echoed throughout the entire battlefield.
On the massive, sky-covering body of the Skeleton Demon General, the seemingly indestructible core bone armor shattered instantly!
The cracks spread out instantly like a spider web.
Before the Skeleton Demon General could react, the immense energy contained in the Candle Dragon Battle Axe, belonging to the mythical dragon, poured wildly into the crack!
Detonate from within!
"Heh... Hehhhhhh—"
This time, it was no longer a silent roar.
The skeletal demon let out its first and last earth-shattering wail since its arrival, filled with pain and resentment.
Golden light burst forth from every crevice of its bones, illuminating its pitch-black demonic body with a translucent glow.
Its massive body began to tremble violently, cracks appeared on its sturdy bones, and black abyssal energy spread out like a flood.
It's falling apart!
The East China Sea defense line was eerily silent.
Everyone stared blankly at the sky, watching that once invincible demon god march towards its doom.
Won?
We...won?!
The overwhelming joy had not yet welled up in his heart.
Suddenly... an anomaly occurred.
Just before the skeletal demon's massive body was about to completely disintegrate, its head, burning with the flames of its soul, suddenly turned around—towards the capital of the Dragon Kingdom!
With its last remaining strength and most vicious resentment, it hurled the equally enormous death scythe in its hand with all its might!
"Don't even think about... winning... everything..."
Intermittent thoughts echoed in the space.
After being released from his hand, the giant scythe of death instantly transformed into a black streak of light that tore through the sky.
The intense power of the law of death emanating from the scythe even tore a black rift in space that could not be healed for a long time!
Its speed exceeded the speed of sound by dozens of times, and it disappeared into the horizon almost instantly.
The target is the core of the Purification Array, which is currently under construction!
"Thump!"
Inside the command center, Su Chen fell straight backward.
After delivering the final blow, his mental energy was completely exhausted, and he didn't even have the strength to stand up.
"consultant!"
Lin Xue exclaimed in surprise and quickly hugged him to prevent him from falling to the ground.
At this moment, Su Chen was pale and his breath was extremely weak; he had fallen into a deep coma.
He was no longer able to control the Candle Dragon to intercept it!
"Oh no! Its target is the capital!"
Elder Long's face was filled with terror.
On the large screen in the command center, the satellite system had already captured the black streak of light and instantly calculated its trajectory and target.
"Intercept! Use all means to intercept!"
Old Master Long roared as he gave the order.
"Reporting to Elder Long! The target is too fast and has broken through the outer defense perimeter! Weapon lock-on failed!"
"Our system is unable to effectively intercept it! Its energy level is too high!"
"Calculations show that none of our weapons can destroy it before it hits its target!"
One after another, reports of despair came in.
Lin Xue looked up; she wanted to make a move.
However, her ice-based powers were of little effect against a weapon constructed purely from the laws of death.
Despair once again enveloped everyone.
The newly ignited flame of hope was instantly extinguished by a bucket of ice water.
Could it be that this victory was won at the cost of everything?
Is this how it's all going to end?
