Chapter 怨魔的末路

The Wraith Demon, caught in a pincer attack, appeared somewhat disheveled. At times, it had no choice but to rely on its physical resilience to endure some damage, in order to evade a fatal blow from one side.

Judging by the skills, equipment, and items the Wraith Demon currently possessed, its role seemed to be that of a turret-type mage, specializing in short-to-mid-range attrition and burst damage.

However, its cloak was of considerable quality, not only significantly reducing incoming attacks, but also automatically healing, and enhancing the wearer's various attributes.

Coupled with the Wraith Demon's skeletal body, which lacked any real "vital spots," and the corrosive green flames that could erupt from anywhere on its person,

it could completely moonlight as a melee mage,

trading injuries to stall or even kill enemies.

But, two fists are no match for four hands, and even a fierce tiger fears a pack of wolves.

Li Ang and Miss Chai's coordination was seamless. As soon as the Wraith Demon showed any intention of fighting to the death, one would retreat, allowing the other to suppress.

Worst of all, after discovering that the Wraith Demon had no vital points, Li Ang and Miss Chai immediately turned to attack the Gurururu-Goo in its arms, sometimes even feinting, forcing the Wraith Demon to actively take damage to protect its teammate.

Li Ang thrust his gun repeatedly at the Gurururu-Goo's location, piercing the Wraith Demon's cloak into rags, and using Ripple energy to leave countless scars on the Wraith Demon's white bone skeleton (since the opponent was a skeleton, the Cutter's title skill was of little use).

At the same time, he said with conviction, "Good! As expected of the legendary White Bone Demon, to be able to stalemate me for so long in this fair duel."

What kind of fair duel was this?!

As Li Ang spoke, Chu Yin was "singing loudly" in the distance with a microphone in hand.

Her [I Sing, Therefore I Am] skill, according to the description, could apply different buffs or debuffs to allies or enemies by singing different sounds.

However, like all other Mobile Task Force operatives, Chu Yin's team had its own analysis team, capable of experimenting, analyzing, and researching each operative's skills and equipment, and developing usage plans.

The analysis team discovered that the trigger range of the [I Sing, Therefore I Am] skill was much wider than they had imagined.

Not only could some well-known songs trigger the skill, but also some obscure lyrics and melodies casually composed by songwriters could also trigger it.

Even a sentence with illogical but simple tonal undulations, a few emotionally charged and rhythmic words, could trigger the effects of [I Sing, Therefore I Am]!

Therefore, the imaginative analysis team uploaded more than a dozen songs they wrote themselves to music libraries such as the iTunes Music Store, STF, and Graote database, and these songs could also trigger Chu Yin's skill effects.

And because the skill's implicit judgment (i.e., the rule the analysis team had summarized themselves) was that "the emotion contained in a song's lyrics and melody determines the song's effect," the songs they wrote were extremely "weird."

"Cool yeah! Good yo! Top wa! Hmm, awesome! Support! Love!"

Chu Yin held the microphone, singing or rather shouting the same inexplicable words with a strange melody, somewhat like rapping.

Perhaps because it was too embarrassing, her face was flushed, and it could be seen clearly even in the dimly lit subway station.

"Little angel hey! Started with looks, loyal to character! Taking away, no date! So sweet, tsk tsk! What treasure boy is this, so handsome! Protect our best darling!"

As Chu Yin's voice grew louder, the buffs surrounding Li Ang and Miss Chai became more and more exaggerated.

Li Ang's player data panel's Strength, Agility, and Constitution attributes each temporarily increased by one point on top of their base 11 points.

And on Miss Chai's red-and-white armor, there even appeared a visible layer of golden light, which was simply dazzling beyond compare.

Ash could still maintain a face of ice, while Wu Mu felt a pain in his eggs, completely unsure what expression to make.

Back then, when Chu Yin received the instruction manual given to her by the analysis team, she had also questioned whether this thing could even be considered a song?

The cool older sisters of the analysis team, wearing white coats, nonchalantly told her, "So many shitty foreign songs can be promoted by capital to rank high on the new song charts and win countless awards, so the song I spent three minutes writing doesn't count as a song?"

Chu Yin could only listen to the analysis team.

In short, forget the advertising, look at the results. After Li Ang and Miss Chai were given various buffs, the Wraith Demon finally couldn't hold on and was stabbed in the face!

The triangular bone-tipped spear blade scraped along the jawbone, piercing out from the back of the skull, directly piercing through the hood.

With the hood lost, the Wraith Demon's face was finally revealed to everyone.

Its skull was narrower and longer than that of a human, with a smaller zygomatic arch, and a flat, congruent upper and lower jaw. The canine teeth were strong and sharp.

It was the skull of a dog.

With the hood torn off, the Wraith Demon seemed to have triggered some switch, hurriedly stuffed the Gurururu-Goo into its empty waist and abdomen, shook its body, and burst into raging green flames, forcibly forcing back the enemies in front and behind.

The green flames that erupted from the Wraith Demon even scorched and melted most of the barrier set up by Wu Mu, which was originally intended to trap the Wraith Demon.

With a crisp "bang," the structurally damaged barrier directly collapsed on its own. Wu Mu, his face as pale as paper, stumbled back three steps, leaning against a subway station pillar to avoid falling to the ground.

At the same time as he retreated, Li Ang took out the Barrett and shouted to Miss Chai, "Okay!"

Miss Chai, who was fleeing from behind the Wraith Demon, instantly understood Li Ang's idea, and while running over, gestured okay with her hand.

Li Ang steadied the Barrett, aimed the muzzle at the hollow circle of Miss Chai's okay gesture, and pulled the trigger towards the Wraith Demon's waist and abdomen.

The heavy bullet erupted in flames, flew out of the barrel, and directly hit the green-flamed Wraith Demon.

However, with Li Ang's hearing, he didn't hear the sound of the heavy bullet piercing through the enemy's body and hitting the wall or floor.

Facing a skeletal enemy, neither Drowning Assassination Art nor the Cutter title skill could achieve any good results. Li Ang put away the Barrett, had Miss Chai raise her hands high, her fingertips touching together above her head to form a hollow circle, and then fired a grenade into the circle.

The booming sound of the grenades exploding resounded throughout the subway station, but the raging green pillar of fire was not affected at all, and once again surged and rose.

This time, even the ceiling of the subway station in the gray-white world was directly melted, becoming a pool of gray-white sludge, being born and dying, dying and being born.

The Wraith Demon, transformed into green flames and white bones, placed the Gurururu-Goo in the only hollow part of its body that was not burning with flames, flicked its white bone hand, and condensed a long green flame whip, pointing diagonally at Li Ang and the others.

The fifth barrier contraction was about to end.
