If Once Doesn't Work, Try Again!

"Sizzle~~~"

The lightning spear was incredibly sharp, and the bone between the eyebrows of the demon kept cracking as strands of fine lightning converged and shot straight towards its vital points!

I wasn't idle either. I immediately used Battle Roar + Chaos Blade + Tian Gong Kai Wu + Overpowering Momentum, and Whirlwind Slash appeared behind Nightmare. Then I followed up with Rising Dragon Slash + Cold Star Piercing Bone + Seventy-Two Extreme Slashes in an attempt to continue the control of Subspace Jump Slash.

Unfortunately, all of them missed!

Firstly, the opponent's level was a terrifying 90, and secondly, the opponent was an S11 Eternal-rank BOSS, while I hadn't even collected a full set of S9 gear yet. The difference in combat power between the two sides was too great!

"Die!"

Alice gritted her teeth and poured all her spiritual energy into it, the tip of the lightning spear constantly breaking through, about to pierce through a shimmering, fluorescent object.

I can sense that the thing is a pure Mental Power, and if I'm not mistaken... it's the psionic entity of the Devourer!

The fundamental power of Subspace Life comes from the warp. Killing their physical bodies is meaningless; they can simply be reborn by acquiring a new body.

In order to maintain its power, the Demon Eater fused its true form with its physical body.

Alice sealed his true form inside his body with psychic energy from the very beginning, all for this very opportunity!

"You crazy woman!"

The ferocious beast roared, its eyes bloodshot, and its mouth spewing forth deep blue psionic energy.

Behind him, two Flame Demon Commander roared and rushed to his rescue!

Alice doesn't have much time left!

At that very moment, a sense of power originating from Subspace Jump Slash surged into my mind, and I seemed to feel a subspace rift suddenly appear in the head of the monster.

This is bad!

"Boom!"

The lightning spear, now unimpeded, pierced directly through the Nightmare's head, its light emanating from the back of the Nightmare's brain, flowing and dissipating continuously.

However, this shot failed to kill the Devourer.

The opponent summoned a subspace rift in its head, and most of the power of Alice's attack was channeled into the subspace, failing to cause significant damage to the demon's spirit.

"You bitch, die!"

Blood-red lightning crackled across the entire right arm of the Demon Eater, and it instantly went berserk!

A powerful punch landed!

"Puff--"

Alice's body transformed into a streak of blue light, plummeting straight into the night several kilometers away. She was already injured from just one punch.

"You bitch, you think you can kill me?!"

With a flicker of its body, the Demon Eater transformed into a bolt of lightning and sped away into the distance, its long cloak trailing for kilometers behind it. Its hands rose into the air and plunged fiercely into Alice was trapped in the ground!

I activated my Invincible Burst Skill, and then, completely bewildered, I engaged in battle with the two Flame Demon Commander.

But there's no way I could kill two S10-level bosses!

Even if she were killed, Alice would be Crippling Blow and would never be a match for the Devourer.

In the distance, lightning flashed everywhere. Alice rose from the ruins, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and sneered, "You're lucky, kid. I didn't expect you to dodge that shot!"

She spread one hand, and terrifying psychic energy surged from her body, transforming into a vast net of lightning that coiled towards the Nightmare like a giant spider web.

Yes, Alice is still strong. Although she may not be able to defeat a monster alone, she is also unlikely to be defeated by a monster alone. Overall, she is evenly matched with it.

The two sides fought back and forth, and the injuries continued to mount!

"Ding Han!"

Alice's voice rang in his ears. "Can you do it again? The Demon Eater has used up a lot of his life force to break through my limits and forcibly opened a subspace rift. He will never be able to use this power again in a short time. Can you do another Subspace Jump Slash? It's just a little bit more. Give me one more chance with the lightning spear, and I will definitely be able to kill him!"

She's so obsessed with killing the Devourers!

I have to grant her wish!

He then headed straight for the two Flame Demon Commander, and before Invincible could disappear, he said in a deep voice, "You two Boiling Thing! I could easily take you down with a single punch or kick, you trash!"

"Awooo~~~"

The two Flame Demon Commander instantly went berserk, both enraged.

That's what happens when you're not very smart; you get easily angered by just one sentence.

Two Flame Demon Commander descended from the sky, slamming their fists into my face twice.

"112878!"

"120094!"

Great, done in seconds!

The fact that I died so easily this time might be because I turned into mincemeat in an instant.

The next moment, the Resurrection Sacred Canon consumed one copy, time rewound, the body formed from the meat sauce was reset, and all skill cooldowns were reset. At that very second, a subspace rift appeared in the direction of the plain!

This is bad!

That was... Subspace Jump Slash!?

Besides me, who else can perform Subspace Jump Slash?

Another Chaos Demon Lord, Berserker!

If Nightmare is a mage capable of Invade Dream, then Berserker is a proper warrior!

The Soul Eater Blade in his hand cleaved through the air, heading straight for Alice's head!

"Boom!"

Alice's Lightning Shield blocked the attack, preventing her from being stunned by the opponent's Subspace Jump Slash. Otherwise... a 3-second stun would have been unbearable, even for a god.

What are you waiting for!?

Alice's voice rang in my ears again.

"They're here!"

The instant he revived on the spot, he suddenly unleashed Subspace Jump Slash!

"Whoosh!"

He leaped forward, instantly appearing above the monster's head, giving him no chance to react. He slashed his sword into the monster's heart, dealing over 240,000 damage and stunning him for another 3 seconds!

"Sizzle~~~"

As Alice retreated, another lightning spear materialized in her hand!

"Berserk!"

The ghoul's body was dazed, and he could only open his eyes wide to watch the berserker rushing to his aid, shouting for help.

"Certainly..."

The berserker's body was entangled in countless strands of lightning. He raised his Soul Eater Blade and slashed wildly, rushing forward to provide support.

But...

It's a state where it looks like it's putting in a lot of effort, but the actual movement speed is very slow.

No...

You, a dignified Chaos Demon Lord, even if you're restrained by the lightning net, do you really need to be this slow?

Was it intentional?

While Abyss is alive, he is one of the Five Great Demon Lords; when Abyss dies, he becomes one of the Four Heavenly Kings. Is that what you're thinking, Berserker? Tell me with your conscience!

The lightning spear thrust out sharply, hitting the same crater on the head of the monster again. This time it was much easier than last time, piercing through the outer shield of the warp creature with a single strike!

The spear's light raged, and streaks of lightning seeped into the Nightmare's true form within its brain. Immediately, a agonizing scream echoed from within the sphere of light—the sound of its true form being destroyed and killed.

"Boom!"

The next second, the lightning spear pierced through his skull!

The monster's body and head exploded together!

Immediately afterwards, a system announcement bell echoed across the land—

[Congratulations to player [*Shadow] for successfully assisting in the defeat of [Nightmare] (Eternal-level S11 Moonlight-colored BOSS)! Rewards: Achievement +15, Charm Value +5, Reputation Value +30000!]

The reward is simple and straightforward, so honest and unpretentious!

But before I could even feel happy, I saw Alice's body covered in blood as she was slashed to the ground by the Berserker, who then stomped her into the ground with a powerful kick!

As expected, taking on two Chaos Monarch single-handedly was completely beyond Alice's capabilities.

"Boom!"

The Explosive Charge instantly pierced through the berserker's body.

However, it was no use; the other party remained completely unmoved!

Fuck you!

First, he showed his respect for Invincibility, then unleashed a combo of Rising Dragon Slash + Cold Star Piercing Bone + Seventy-Two Extreme Slashes on the Berserker.

As a result, the first two skills missed, but the "ding" of the Seventy-Two Extreme Slashes caught the Berserker slightly off guard, putting him into a vulnerable state, much like a stun effect.

I didn't attack him. At this point, dealing any damage to the Berserker would be pointless; my thigh Severely Injured, and it was impossible to kill him.

So, the instant the Berserker was immobilized by the prelude to the Seventy-Two Extreme Slashes skill, I looked down, grabbed Alice's hands, and pulled her out of the rubble like a scallion. I held her in my arms, activated Bio-Optical Invisibility, and ran!

"Sizzle~~"

A few faint bolts of lightning crackled around Alice as she leaned on my shoulder and laughed bitterly, "What's the use of running on two legs? Can you outrun his Subspace Jump Slash?"

"Then what should we do?"

"I have a bottle of blue pills in my pocket. Give me one."

"Oh..."

I hurriedly reached into Alice's arms, but guess what? I found two...

"Not on either side, but in the middle!"

Alice said weakly.

Sure enough, there was a jade bottle in the middle. When the stopper was unscrewed, a bunch of blue pills were emitting a faint glow.

Wait... Alice, you also cultivate immortality and refine pills?

Is this some kind of Guiyuan Pill or Foundation Establishment Pill? What else are you hiding from me?

"Snap!"

A pill went down my throat.

A cold laugh came from behind, "It's you again, you little trash!"

Berserker, you motherfucker...

Although it's the truth, it's very hurtful, you know?

"Walk!"

Alice's body swirled with light, and she suddenly pulled me into her arms. Then, a powerful burst of spiritual energy erupted, instantly transforming her into a bolt of lightning that flew erratically through the wilderness, tracing Z-shaped paths!

So much so that despite the Berserker repeatedly using Subspace Jump Slash in an attempt to kill him, he was never able to succeed.

After nearly half an hour of chasing and escaping, Alice finally led me out of the Withered Wood Forest, successfully shaking off the Berserker's pursuit.

Alice is truly skilled at escaping.

However, she was seriously injured and slept on the Off-road Motorcycle for more than an hour before finally waking up.

"Ding Han..."

She tugged at my body and said, "I'm not going to the human world, just put me down here."

I stopped my motorcycle and frowned, saying, "What if Berserker catches up with us?"

"Rest assured."

Alice smiled faintly, "Do you know why these minds of Chaos didn't launch a large-scale attack on the Crimson Dragon Country and the Star Maple Federation after the Subspace Storm?"

"Why?" This has been a question that has always puzzled me.

"Because the subspace is empty, while the human material world is so abundant, the Bio-energy generated by a large number of humans living together is enormous. If high-level Subspace Life get too close to human cities, their chaotic power will overflow irreversibly. Therefore, they can only gradually erode the human world, rather than swallow it whole."

"I see..."

I didn't press the matter further. "Then let's say goodbye."

"I will be in seclusion for a long time to heal my wounds. During this time, try not to make any rash moves."

"Knew."

Alice waved her hand, and her body transformed into a flash of light, disappearing at lightning speed.

Only then did I have time to look down at my storage space, where an S11 Eternal-rank Moon-white Treasure Chest was gleaming.
