In the darkness, an invisible Class B mechanical bird was flying rapidly.

Boss Template: Proto-Mechanical Bird, Half-Energy Lifeform

Archaeopteryx (Mechanical Module):

Effect 1: Its bloodline originating from ancient pterosaurs gives it absolute dominance over all lower-tier flying species.

Effect 2: The wing membrane structure enables it to glide silently.

Half-energy life form (energy module):

Effect 1: Half-energy life conversion

Effect 2: Advanced Radiation Field

Although this seven-tailed pterosaur is not as large as the "giant bomber bird," only half its size, its pair of mechanical wings, when spread out, have a wingspan no less than its opponent's.

Moreover, this seven-tailed pterosaur combines the mystery of ancient bird species with the elegance of a semi-energy creature. Its body surface is covered with mysterious energy patterns. Whenever its wings flap, the energy patterns begin to light up, and its seven 'peacock-shaped' tail feathers also resonate in turn.

These seven tail fins each possess one of seven stealth capabilities: magnetic stealth, thermal shielding, light refraction, energy absorption, invisible radiation field, signal concealment, and biomimicry.

Whenever the aircraft's detection equipment is running, these seven huge "mechanical peacock tails" will react accordingly, keeping it in stealth mode at all times.

However, this time, it miscalculated slightly.

On its claws, a steel claw was precisely wedged into the gap of the mechanical armor, and with the "huge cannon roar" of the 3D Maneuver Gear, the high engineer, like a cannonball, grazed the huge wings and rushed into the back of the opponent.

Amidst the raging wind and rain, the senior engineer's face revealed a murderous intent. His hands and feet transformed into bloodthirsty capture feet, while the 'super alloy blade' in his palm began to spin wildly. With just a light grab, it was pressed into the interior of the fluid armor.

To achieve better stealth, the seven-tailed pterosaur abandoned its heavy outer armor and replaced it with a close-fitting soft armor.

This new type of material armor achieves a perfect balance in terms of energy shielding, light material storage, and mechanical structure. The only problem is that its defense is not very high.

The senior engineer's move was like twenty steel needles piercing the skin, leaving twenty "blood lines".

[You dealt 65 damage to the Rainbow Wyvern]

[You dealt 73 damage to the Rainbow Wyvern]

[You dealt 122 damage to the Rainbow Wyvern, causing an energy pipeline disruption effect.]

[You inflict a Bleed effect on enemies, stacking 5% attack power (one stack)]

[You inflict a Bleed effect on enemies, stacking 10% attack power (two stacks)]

[You inflict a Bleed effect on enemies, stacking 10% attack power (up to three times)]

In just the first attack, "Bloodthirst" was fully stacked, taking away 1400 points of the opponent's health.

Each of the Bloodthirsty Capture Feet is equivalent to a blood-red dagger, so each attack is equivalent to a 20-hit combo.

The seven-tailed pterosaur let out a sharp scream, and its huge figure began to appear and disappear, while its body spun at high speed.

The engineer's fingers and toes sprouted numerous barbs that hooked into the opponent's muscles, making him resemble a giant gecko clinging to the opponent's body. At the same time, the handheld console's tear mode was activated, and within three seconds, half of his arm had already disappeared into the opponent's body.

Blood spurted from his skin, as if a miniature electric drill had been used to drill into it.

The seven-tailed pterosaur let out another scream, and high temperatures emanated from the energy pipes on its body surface, causing its flesh to rapidly increase in temperature.

As a mechanical bio-beast, it is not only a rare flying species, but also a flying energy species among flying species.

In other words, it is a hybrid of mechanical and energy life forms.

A violent energy pulse covered his entire body, and wave after wave of violent energy pulses swept across him. Each energy pulse could take away more than two hundred health points. If it were when he first transmigrated, just one energy pulse would have been enough to take him down.

However, with continuous upgrades and modifications, the senior engineer now has a health of 792 points, which is almost the same as some low-health C-level radiation beasts.

Moreover, countless tiny biological suction holes, the size of pinholes, open on the ten "bloodthirsty capture feet" to frantically suck blood.

Each Bloodthirsty Capture weapon deals 5 points of health per second, so 20 weapons would deal 100 points of health per second.

In other words, the engineer's previous injuries would be fully recovered in just two seconds.

This is the abnormality brought about by bioengineering, especially high-quality bioengineering.

The term "humanoid war beast" is not just a figure of speech.

As the energy wave swept across, the engineer's skin surface turned into charcoal. In just two seconds, new skin replaced the old skin, removing the charcoal.

In just over ten seconds, the engineer shed four layers of skin, and the newly grown skin, besides smoking due to the high temperature, was covered with eerie blood-red patterns.

Especially the shoulder blade area, which is completely covered by the blood-red biological armor unique to the Reaper Queen.

Hot! Scalding! Burning!

At an altitude of 5,000 meters, the senior engineer's eyes were bloodshot. He activated "Metal Devouring," and his digestive system began to accelerate. His strength increased by 15% instantly. With a burst of power, he forcefully sank into the opponent's body at the root.

The rainbow pterosaur opened its mouth wider, revealing serrated edges near its mouth and a long metallic tongue.

The next moment, a ten-meter-long mechanical tail fin lashed out fiercely.

Another loud "cannon blast" rang out, and the senior engineer disappeared from his spot. The next moment, 5,500 meters above the ground, the hydraulic nozzles of the 3D Maneuver Gear suddenly spewed out a strong airflow, and the senior engineer's figure suddenly propelled forward ten meters in the rain, dodging the lash of another mechanical tail fin.

At the same time, two monomolecular ropes shot out from the two "three-dimensional power ports" below, hooking onto the neck and buttocks of the seven-tailed pterosaur, one on the left and one on the right. The two kilometer-long monomolecular ropes were taut on the left and right, while the high engineer in the center was like a steel ball in the center of a slingshot.

As the monomolecular ropes at both ends were stretched to their limits, the rain on the engineer's face instantly burst into mist. The next moment, the engineer crossed his hands and slammed them into the other party's body. The 'dagger' in his hand was plunged into the pterosaur's neck. Wherever it passed, golden sparks flew, and ten bloody streaks, each twenty meters long, covered most of the neck.

This single blow took away over 3,000 of the opponent's health, not to mention the barrage of "Bleeding," "Tear," "Hamstring," and "Armor Break" damage.

As we all know, the neck is a vital organ for most creatures, containing various veins and arteries. The seven-tailed pterosaur was no exception, spraying blood droplets the size of washbasins high into the air, while torrential rain poured down as well.

The senior engineer found himself amidst a bloodbath.

Thick veins bulged from his fingers, throbbing with each breath.

The Reaper Cells had never felt so "pleasant," not even on the Reaper Queen.

This is a feast of lower-order organisms turning on higher-order organisms, where cellular instability overwhelms stability. In the long history of biological evolution, they call this gene mutation.

The moment the blood dissipated, the senior engineer fell from the sky with his arms outstretched, the force of gravity causing him to explode into a bloody pulp the instant he hit the ground.

Behind it lies an abyss.

However, the next moment, eight monomolecular ropes shot into the sky amidst the explosion, like a giant umbrella with its ribs extending outwards, as if to wrap up the torrential rain.

At least three of the eight advanced mechanical claws gripped the opponent again.

The senior engineer quickly assessed the hunting route and redefined the direction in just one second. The 'high-hydraulic catapult' spun wildly, and the two ropes retracted rapidly. The senior engineer's figure shot off in one direction, allowing him to avoid the lashes of the three tail fins.

That was the lower jaw of a seven-tailed pterosaur, but the behemoth suddenly lowered its head, and a long metal tongue swept towards it.

The senior engineer remained expressionless, twisted his waist, and the 3D Maneuver Gear on his waist exploded again, his figure shifting three meters horizontally. At the same time, another monomolecular rope nail, like a straight white sword, pierced the opponent's abdomen.

The next moment, the senior engineer leaped into the air, his ten fingers digging fiercely into the other man's abdomen, penetrating to the elbow and creating two bloody holes like nails.

As if it had absorbed enough B-grade 'nutrients', the bloodthirsty hook feet under its feet suddenly extended eagle-claw-like metal claws. The claws were extremely sharp and pierced the opponent's shallow armor.

The senior engineer started running upside down on the other person.

The violent energy field and radiation field covered an area of almost ten miles. If these area-of-effect skills were used on the battlefield, they could clear out enemies within a 100*100 meter radius, making them an absolute battlefield weapon of mass destruction.

However, the energy field can't overpower the senior engineer. Although the senior engineer's radiation field is inferior to the opponent's, it is more than enough to protect himself.

The 3D maneuvering device began short-range launches, and the engineer changed positions almost every half second, which was almost indistinguishable from teleportation.

The most overpowered aspect of the "Rainy Night Killing with a Knife Mode" is that as long as I can break through your defenses and give you a chance to unleash a combo, even if you are an S-rank Beast King, I can still kill you with a combo!

In a short while, another 20,000 HP was scraped away by the senior engineer.

The seven-colored pterosaur finally realized that it probably couldn't defeat its opponent without paying a price.

Seven tail fins rose from seven directions, and one after another, sharp, door-like outer armor panels unfolded, gradually becoming invisible with the help of the stealth system.

The senior engineer did not stop. At this moment, his vital organs were covered with blood armor, and a blood-red crystal appeared between his eyebrows.

He brought his five fingers together to form a knife, but two knives alone probably wouldn't be enough to withstand so many attacks.

Almost as soon as the thought arose, a strong desire for evolution emanated from him.

The pterosaur hide beneath his feet quickly withered, as if sinking into a large pit, while a sharp pain emanated from the engineer's shoulder blades, and cracks appeared one after another on his blood armor.

"Aaaaaaahh..."

Almost at the same time that thousands of stealth armors exploded simultaneously, two cracks opened on the shoulder blades, and two bladed limbs stained with biological fluid pierced out.

A familiar feeling suddenly came over me, as if it were my own hand.

Information transmission is initiated, connecting the inside and outside.

Including the two "arm blades," the four blades danced wildly in the next moment!

Sword Frenzy: In unarmed mode, any sword or blade technique you are proficient in will be temporarily transferred to your arm. Sword Mastery +1. When using a katana, regular sword, or mantis sword, damage reduction from parrying is increased by 25%.

The blade net was formed, and all the attacks from the outer armor were deflected.

A series of system notifications then appeared.

[By absorbing enough gene fragments, your 'Bloodthirsty Capture Legs' are enhanced, Agility +4]

[You have grown biological blood armor]

[You have grown two Reaper Limbs]

[You have unlocked the bloodline talent 'Biological Predation Evolution']

[Your skill 'Parry and Parry' gains a battlefield breakthrough]

[Reverse parry knife upgraded to advanced level]
