Swish——

As if feeling that his life was in danger, Black-Striped Shadow Scorpion was rolling repeatedly, trying to get rid of the burning Phantom Phosphor Powder on his body, and then quickly got up, with his thick tail raised high, and the tip pointed straight at Angel.

Spirituality issued a warning like a madman. Angel didn't care about releasing the toxin and tilted his body to the left.

The dark stinger on the tail of the giant scorpion also followed her body, adjusted the angle slightly, and then shot out suddenly. The sting, which was sharp at the front and thick at the back, was like a chisel. A bright ray streaked through Phantom Phosphor Powder, hitting Angel's dodging body directly.

Wow, Angel, which was hit in the heart, made a sound of shattering mirrors, and its whole body collapsed, turning into fragments that gradually dissipated. The unabated stinger left the range illuminated by "Phantom Phosphor Eruption" almost instantly, cutting through the dark sky without knowing where to go.

The real Angel stepped out from the door of a stone house next to the street, raised the "Good Luck" revolver, continued to lock on the giant scorpion, and was about to fire the next shot of "Phantom Phosphor Eruption".

But before she could take aim, she felt her forehead became hot, her whole body was hot, her muscles were sore, and she was weak. Although this did not affect her movements, the sudden change in her body still caused a moment of hesitation in the hand raising the gun to aim.

At that moment of opportunity, the giant scorpion seized it. Its body wrapped around Phantom Phosphor Powder suddenly jumped forward, swinging at a speed that was almost hard to see, and crashed into Angel like Chariot.

This is, Disease Control? My poison didn't take effect on it, but it affected me first?

Angel exhaled a breath of hot air that seemed to be on fire. Her lungs were pulling like bellows and she kept coughing. She felt that the organs in her body were gradually losing activity due to the sudden worsening of the disease. Black-Striped Shadow Scorpion in front of her kept getting closer. A pair of giant pincers stretched out, aiming directly at her fragile neck.

Swish, swish.

Countless threads hidden in the dark, almost invisible to the naked eye, shot out, like slender but powerful arms wrapped around the pair of giant pincers. Although they were broken and crumbling under the impact of the heavy Chariot, it still made it difficult for them to move forward even an inch.

Under it, the ever-spreading Frost instantly overran the striving steps, causing them to slip on the smooth surface with nowhere to borrow strength.

Above the head, the tiny pieces of Phantom Phosphor Powder ignited black flames and quickly merged into one, as if Velvet Quilt were covering it, but what was contained in it was not warmth and sleep, but a terrifying curse.

Angel's coughing also stopped at the same time. Although there was a blush on her cheeks as if she was seriously ill, she didn't behave at all like someone who was infected by the plague and was about to collapse.

She had already replaced the deadly germs in her body with the milder common cold!

Of course, Angel also discovered at this time that the "deadly toxin" he spread to the opponent was like a stone sinking into the sea, and had no effect at all. Beyonder Creature, who must be able to spread the "disease" within a wide range, also instinctively possesses the ability to Similar to the resistance of the ability, she did not continue to expect the poison to take effect. Instead, she picked up the revolver and shot "Phantom Phosphor Eruption" with one shot, creating a new blazing light on the street where "Light Enhancement" was still located.

Regardless of whether this kind of bullet comes from the memory of the previous life or the "Eternal Blazing Sun" church, at least this light is not false!

With this in mind, Angel opened the hammer of "Good Luck", aimed at the entangled Black-Striped Shadow Scorpion's head, which was a bit small compared to the giant pliers, and three pairs of angry eyes, and pulled the trigger.

After being increased by sixteen times in power, "Storm Convergence" exploded like a cannon. The bullet left the barrel of the gun and slammed into the giant scorpion's right pincer in front of him. The thick carapace was like soft cheese, exploding a hole as big as a fist, and flew into the sky with the entire right pincer.

The giant scorpion, who was lucky enough to save his head, didn't wait for Angel to fire the next bullet. The body wrapped in silk threads began to shake, and the black segmented body carapace expanded outward, revealing the soft flesh between the gaps.

On it, the original white bristle-like gaps and the black soft flesh under the carapace formed black and white lines, and then suddenly changed, the two colors blended, turning into a complex and evil image.

Angel, who was staring closely at the opponent's body and preparing to fire the last bullet in the gun's chamber, suddenly had his thoughts exploded. All the tactics and techniques in his mind disappeared, leaving only crazy murmurs and screams. The "Good Luck" in his hand also fell to the ground. He covered his ears with his hands and fell to his knees, trying to resist the invading pollution.

The same madness flashed through Black-Striped Shadow Scorpion's three pairs of compound eyes, but it still maintained basic rationality despite revealing its incomplete mythological form. The remaining left pincer swayed away from the invisible thread, quickly slid forward in the ice on the ground, and then tightly pinched Angel's slender neck.

There was a crisp cracking sound, and the body held by the giant pliers was easily broken, then shrunk and turned black, becoming a broken Wooden Staff covered with rust and with a dark surface.

The figure of Angel appeared from the air. After using "Staff Substitution" to get rid of the attack, her skin still had traces of rust all over her body, like a doll that had been destroyed by time. However, she faced "True Creator" many times. E" contamination, with rich experience in seeking death, she finally got rid of the unfavorable state of witnessing the incomplete Mythical Creature, and the Spirituality, which was raging in her body and almost out of control, was initially soothed.

Amidst the sound of metal friction, the "Knight Bracelet" on Angel's left wrist turned into a square pyramid-shaped armor-piercing sword. He held the handle in his left hand and the unopened position of the proximal end with his right hand. Under the influence of gravity and the pull of the silk thread, his body fell downward at a speed much faster than a free fall.

Bone Sword's sword pointed directly downward at Black-Striped Shadow Scorpion, who was on the ice, and it was difficult to dodge quickly. One man and one sword drew a long bright line among the shining Phantom Phosphor Powder in the air.

At this moment, all the light from the light powder went out.

... Oops, the duration of "Order" is over!

Angel As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, the giant scorpion below seemed to melt and burrowed into the shadow that reappeared on the ice. The shadow squirmed. Before it had time to change its position, the figure falling suddenly above it was completely integrated into the darkness together with it.

Angel I immediately felt that my whole body was tightly wrapped, as if I had fallen into a quagmire of deep darkness.

This is not the first time she has hidden in the shadows and moved on a two-dimensional plane. In Bayam, she once worked with Klein and the dead "steel" Maviti to use Danitz's Shadow Cloak has escaped the pursuit of "Mandated Punishers", and the "Rose Bishop" who are her enemies have also used similar Beyonder Ability many times.

Therefore, after she entered the shadow, she immediately understood her situation. Without any hesitation, she stabbed Black-Striped Shadow Scorpion underneath her while the force of the fall had not dissipated.

At the same time, the latter's only remaining left pincer also pinched her waist, and the two limbs covered with hard carapace at the front and back tightly locked her fragile waist and abdomen.

Severe pain instantly came from the abdomen. Angel felt that the internal organs in her body were almost displaced under the clamp, but the Bone Sword she held in both hands did not waver at all. The uniquely shaped sword blade easily opened the thick carapace of the giant scorpion and entered the opponent's equally soft body.

As if feeling the approach of death, the giant scorpion suddenly clenched its left pincer and stabbed with its tail that had lost its stinger. Dark green venom spurted out and sprinkled on Angel's body, stirring up a sea of scorching smoke.

The pain and burning all over his body made Angel clench his teeth, suppressing the instinctive reaction of using "Mirror Substitution" to avoid damage, and introduced Spirituality into "Sword of Dawn", concentrated it on the tip of the sword, and sprayed out a Black Flame full of cursed power.

Boom——

Black flames surged out from every gap in Black-Striped Shadow Scorpion's carapace. It let out a silent scream, and the giant pliers locked with a click, clamping Angel's waist into two pieces.

Bang, glass shards spilled out from the clamp, and the small "shadow space" suddenly exploded. Two bodies, one large and one small, were thrown in two opposite directions. The smaller one turned over deftly when it was about to land, with its feet Feather Fall stepping on the ground. The other huge body rolled heavily to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

The clothes on Angel's waist had been completely torn, exposing the purple skin underneath. She used Mirror Substitution at the last moment to avoid being split in two, but there were many traces of venom erosion on her face and shoulders. There were blisters on the skin, some of which had even burst, revealing the rotten body tissue underneath. Drops of dark red blood dripped along her arms and fingertips to the ground, quickly seeping into the soil.

Fortunately, this toxin was also under the control of the "disease" ability, and she quickly eliminated the fatal toxin. The effect of "Rose Necklace" in repairing the body appeared, and the rotten parts began to grow tender flesh, covering the white new skin.

However, the body's injuries can be repaired, and the Spirituality consumed is real. Moreover, after looking directly at Beyonder Creature's incomplete Mythical Creature Form, some changes inevitably occurred in Angel's body.

Her exposed skin began to grow finger-sized granules, squirming like stubby tentacles. The joints of her hands, feet, and even her finger joints began to become stiff, and part of the skin hardened, darkened in color, and developed into a chitinous carapace texture.

Fortunately, the source of the transmitted pollution has been cut off, and Angel itself is also in Sequence 5, and there is no hidden danger of incomplete "digestion". The "Flesh Control" ability possessed by "Rose Necklace" played a key role at this time, gradually controlling the abnormality of her body, so that she would not turn into a human-shaped "giant scorpion".

After a while, Angel, who was standing still, finally came to her senses. The various scars on her body and the changes on the verge of losing control returned to normal. The crazy murmurs filling her head gradually faded away, leaving only the negative effects of excessive use of "Rose Necklace":

Hunger, and a thirst for flesh.

Under her gaze, "Shadow Lurking" was interrupted, and Black-Striped Shadow Scorpion, who had been thrown out of the shadow space, was lying on his back about ten meters away from her, with a pair of legs stretched stiffly toward the sky, and the only remaining left pincer was wide open, with no signs of life.
