Humanoid Combat Weapon!!

Lightning flashed and thunder roared, and torrential rain poured down.

Illuminated by the blue- Purple Lightning that ripped through the Tian Kong, a figure falling from the air along with the rubble and bricks transformed into a strange, Flowing Shadow just before hitting the ground.

An imperfectly Perfect Skill: Shadow.

Given that he Shadow Meld, unless it is a large-scale high-temperature Explosion specifically targeting energy bodies or an energy attack with some kind of Demon Breaker attribute, simple physical damage is actually no longer a threat to him.

Have you ever seen a shadow that could fall and kill itself?

"Damn, what the hell is this? It's like a modern army... Could it be the Extreme Evil Squadron?"

The Shadow disappeared into a nearby bungalow before reappearing.

He reached up and wiped the rainwater that was streaming down his hood, Bai Zhi frowned deeply as he looked at the loud roar in the distance.

He himself wasn't sure if the previous shot from the [Silver Reaper] had hit him or not, given the poor visibility, the torrential rain, and the smog that filled the area; even if he wanted to aim, he couldn't.

However, judging from the Rocket that later flew out of the smoke and dust, it probably missed.

So what exactly is that thing?

Just as Bai Zhi was frowning in thought, an extreme sense of danger suddenly arose in his heart, and his expression changed abruptly. Bai Zhi lunged directly at the window, smashed the glass, and rolled onto the muddy path outside.

The moment he left that ordinary place, a violent roar came from behind him, and the bungalow was instantly blasted to the ground, with countless pieces of stone flying everywhere like Bullet.

If Bai Zhi hadn't managed to slip into the Shadow in time, he probably would have been riddled with holes by the flying pebbles.

"... Is that a missile?! What the hell is that thing chasing me?!"

Cursing under his breath, Bai Zhi broke free from the Shadow and fled further away, activating the [Acceleration Totem] he carried.

As Rare Level accessory obtained in the previous Dungeon, this item automatically generates a Single-use speed-up Skill every other day, with a maximum of three slots available.

While in a state of Shadow Meld, one can ignore most physical attacks, but this makes movement too slow and consumes 100 points of Spiritual Energy Value per minute.

Although his total Spiritual Energy Value has reached over 2000 points, the brief contact just now, mainly the use of the [Failed Writer] Skill, had already consumed nearly 500 points of his Spiritual Energy Value. In addition, the three times the Spiritual Energy consumption from teleporting the burden away earlier left him with only half of his Spiritual Energy Value. Considering the risks he might encounter later, he simply cannot afford to waste any more time.

Furthermore, if I could evade their pursuit while in Shadow Escape, a missile wouldn't have hit me with such Precision just now... So what exactly was that thing following me?

In three days, the [Acceleration Totem] has accumulated three Skills, but it feels like... something strange has gotten mixed in?

In this critical moment, Bai Zhi didn't bother to think too much and simply used the first two Skills. Since they were consumables that could be accumulated, he didn't feel any remorse.

Although his agility wasn't high, only 15 points, with the boost from these two Short-term Acceleration Skills, amidst the stirring music of [Sailor], his entire figure instantly transformed into a bolt of lightning.

Behind him, a barrage of gunfire erupted, leaving long trails of sparks in his wake.

At the same time, with the help of God's Perspective, Bai Zhi finally managed to observe the general appearance of the Monster following behind him.

The opponent Levitation in the air, a humanoid silhouette, its entire body encased in mecha armor. The Gatling guns in its hands were emitting intense sparks, and the sound of the Gatling spinning was exceptionally conspicuous in the torrential rain.

Just then, a bolt of purple lightning ripped through the Tian Kong, instantly revealing the other person's expressionless face and empty, lifeless eyes.

--She was a Young Girl with long purple hair, completely covered in mecha armor.

"Humanoid Combat Weapon... Could this guy have just let someone twist him like that?"

Suddenly realizing a certain possibility, Bai Zhi couldn't help but gasp inwardly.

Indeed, despite the Anomaly that destroyed the entire city, and the Anomaly that permeated the entire city, there is still a possibility.

That is, a powerful Player completely abandons their human identity, allowing others to distort them, transforming them into the same kind of Monster... just like Xu Lian did before.

If Xu Lian hadn't encountered him, but someone else, and if that person had experienced the same series of misfortunes, Xu Lian might have already become a twisted, distorted True Fantasy, a Monster in their own right.

In fact, he could easily do that if he wanted to, since it's not a difficult thing.

Bai Zhi was certain that when that Anomaly broke out in the city, quite a few people were forcibly twisted into Monster by others.

"Willingly allowing himself to be twisted by others, all to protect any survivors who might still exist in this city... Is the guy following behind him really that ruthless to himself?"
