The next moment, a terrifying pressure that shook the minds of the three Calamity Grades present abruptly descended, heading straight for Anul.

"What?!"

Anul's expression changed drastically.

Boom!!

The high-speed Anul stopped in an instant. Without any warning, the surrounding air suddenly solidified, as if he had become an insect trapped in amber, unable to move.

[You used [Character Summon Card - Ames]!]

[[Force Field - Dragon's Gaze] is performing a Strength check. Target's Strength is 466 points... Check complete.]

[Anul is in a [Stunned] state for 14 seconds.]

"How is this possible!"

The unexpected change shocked Anul. This terrifying restraining force, could it be the power of Dragon Emperor?!

Black Star was an officer of Dragon Emperor, that was true, but why could he use Dragon Emperor's power!

It had been a long time since Anul had felt panic. At this moment, his composure was destroyed. No matter how he tried, he could not move even half an inch, nor could he speak. Looking at Nagokin, who was striding over with blazing aura, fear finally appeared in his eyes.

Bang!!

A heavy punch, like golden thunder, slammed into Anul's face. The weak wind pressure shield shattered like paper, and the muffled sound of the fist hitting flesh was like muffled thunder, with golden impact rings bursting from the point of impact.

This punch had been brewing for a long time, its power could shake mountains and shatter cities, enough to destroy an entire block. However, Anul was firmly fixed in mid-air, unable to fly away, and all the force of the punch was stifled inside his body.

A mouthful of foul-smelling blood spewed out into the wind!

Bang bang bang bang!!

Nagokin roared, as if venting all his frustration, and his powerful fists and feet produced countless afterimages. Each strike hit its mark. Anul was like a target that could not move, unable to resist, enduring a storm of destruction, and his body was constantly deformed!

"Too brutal." Han Xiao watched with twitching eyelids, almost unable to resist adding "Ora Ora Ora" sound effects for Nagokin. He wasn't idle either, taking advantage of Anul's immobility, he rushed up to deal damage with the high-frequency cutting cannon.

This was a rare opportunity, the higher the damage, the better!

The two sandwiched Anul in the middle, and all attacks were directed at him, a dazzling display.

Without the wind pressure shield, Anul could only withstand the attacks with his flesh, and was beaten until his bones shattered and his flesh turned to pulp!

Broken bones pierced the skin, and blood splattered like a fountain!

The Guardian didn't have time to be shocked. His mission was to prevent both sides' experts from dying, and Anul was also his protection target. Just now, he didn't think Anul needed help, but the situation took a sharp turn. The Guardian quickly changed direction, and this time the target to be rescued became Anul.

However, the wind pressure cannon released by Anul before being hit blocked the Guardian's steps, preventing him from providing timely support.

After fourteen seconds of frenzied attacks, when the control time ended, countless forces burst out from Anul's body in an instant.

Boom!!

A cloud of blood and flesh exploded in mid-air!

Esper who cannot use their abilities are relatively fragile. For example, an esper who uses a shield can block a nuclear explosion with the shield, but it doesn't mean that the body can also block a nuclear explosion. Anul was not good at defense. Without his signature speed, Han Xiao and Nagokin dealt tons and tons of damage, and the rate at which his health bar dropped was simply catastrophic.

Nagokin's ferocious and fierce combo was unleashed to the fullest, venting a lot of anger. Last time, he was besieged by Anul and Ashes and suffered serious injuries, and he finally got his revenge. Usually, in battles between equals, he can only land a few blows in close combat, and the opponent will immediately distance themselves, how could he be able to beat the target as much as he wanted like just now.

Even an ordinary person, if they don't dodge, avoid, or block, and are beaten violently by another person for fourteen seconds, if the attacker intends to kill, this amount of time is enough to kill a person.

But Anul still had a breath left.

Bang!

The tattered Wind Demon body fell to the ground, reverting to human form, covered in wounds, blood, and deep, bone-deep cuts, like a broken sack, bleeding non-stop.

Anul spat out large mouthfuls of blood, on the verge of death, already in a near-death state, unable to even stand up, staring at Han Xiao with eyes full of shock, anger, and disbelief.

"I... I would actually fall here..."

Nagokin clenched his fists, his heart surging with excitement. Black Star really didn't break his promise, and his trust was worth it.

Han Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. He was also almost exhausted. Fortunately, this trump card was successful. He didn't expect to use the Ames character card so soon after getting it. Killing Anul was the only way to recover his losses, and there was still one final blow to finish him off, so he reached out and stopped Nagokin.

He would deliver the final blow himself, so that he could get the experience for killing the enemy.

Anul struggled to turn his head to look at the Guardian who was approaching not far away. This was his last hope.

However, the Guardian paused and suddenly slowed down, pretending that he was not in time.

Han Xiao did not hesitate, raised the high-frequency cutting cannon, and in the face of Anul's angry eyes, slammed it into his chest.

Puchi.

The blade pierced through his back, but not much blood flowed out. Anul had almost bled dry.

Anul's whole body shook, his hands suddenly grabbed the blade, his eyes slowly became dull, staring blankly at the sky.

His lips moved, and he uttered his last sentence with difficulty, his voice so soft that no one could hear it.

"DarkStar... immortal."

The next second, the hand that grabbed the blade lost its strength and fell to the ground.

Life left this body.

Han Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, the panel showed a notification.

[You killed Anul (lv173), you gained 24.7 million experience]

[Killed a target more than 10 levels higher, an additional 280% experience bonus, personal output rate 13%]

[You gained an additional 8.99 million experience]

The output rate was very low, and Han Xiao was not surprised. Nagokin was the source of the fatal damage. To be precise, Nagokin killed Anul, and he just picked up a sweet deal.

Of course, without his character card, Nagokin would not be able to kill Anul either. The two were indispensable.

Killing Anul directly yielded more than 33 million experience, which was the most one-time reward to date, and it supplemented his experience pool.

The biggest gain was completing one of the difficult objectives of the Grade A mission [Godora Alliance]. Han Xiao didn't expect that he could really kill a Calamity Grade powerhouse.

[[Wind Demon - Anul] completed, you gained 18.2 million experience, Godora civilization favorability +1200, [Character Summon Card - Anul]]

[Godora Civilization: Friendly (2340/3000)]

[Your [Godora Alliance] mission evaluation has been improved and will be displayed after settlement]

The raging storm slowly dissipated, and a pungent smell of gunpowder permeated the air.

Looking at Anul's corpse, everyone, whether friend or foe, froze, their expressions dumbfounded.

They never thought that this Calamity Grade powerhouse would die here.

Even Anul himself didn't expect it.

"A Calamity Grade esper died in battle, DarkStar is probably going crazy. Because of a traitor, they have lost two high-level combatants before and after. They have suffered a great loss. I'm afraid I will really enter their sights, and it will be more risky than before."

Han Xiao sighed. Killing Anul, the subsequent impact should be unfavorable to him. But just now, it was a life-and-death situation. Since things have come to this, Han Xiao would not be soft-hearted because of worry and let go of the dying Anul.

There was less than a year before Version 2.0. He had long planned to start preparing after this operation and spend this time in a low-key manner. As for DarkStar's attention... to be honest, Han Xiao was not too panicked, because once Version 2.0 arrived, he would have to solve the Heteromorphy Disaster. At that time, he would have an even greater conflict with DarkStar.

DarkStar was always the enemy that must be dealt with in the main quest of Version 2.0. This was just a matter of time.

Han Xiao looked around. With Anul's death, the morale of the DarkStar warriors collapsed. However, this closed shield left the enemy with no way out.

"This place is safe. I wonder how Oweena's side is..."
