Dark River BOSS Showdown (4)
The blackened stones were launched like cannonballs, and the black mist Excitation the stones, creating waves of air that struck the Flame Giant directly. The Flame Giant, which was originally elemental, had its internal energy structure disrupted by the black mist, turning into a naked human form and falling to the ground.
"Only you? Although it's still not enough..." Before Dark River could finish speaking, a huge toad-like creature descended from the sky, its large mouth spewing out a scarlet tongue.
Even though Dark River reacted quickly and dodged to the side, he was still stuck to the tongue. His body flew towards the toad's mouth. Dark River had a sudden thought, and the part of him that was stuck to the tongue automatically turned into black mist, allowing him to break free. Then he saw the toad open its mouth, and a person covered in disgusting slime was spat out. Behind it were a pair of huge orange-yellow wings, and the iron chains in its hands emitted a strong light, which directly smashed onto the Dark River.
Dark River moved, dispersing into black mist, trying to avoid the iron chain. Suddenly, he felt some force swirling around the chain, and his body was fixed in place. He was directly smashed open by the chain, and blood condensed from the black mist sprayed all over the ground.
Then a lithe figure approached him in a few steps. Cat ears and a cat tail revealed her identity. A whip imbued with Shadow Magic wrapped around the Dark River's neck and pulled him backward, restricting his movement. The Shadow Assassin Dark River Dark River, bringing someone else close at hand.
The figure's hands, as white as jade, grabbed Dark River's body, instantly freezing Dark River black mist-like form into a human-shaped block of ice. These people, who weren't very familiar with each other, actually coordinated perfectly in that instant.
First, Xiao Zhang acted as a decoy to attract the attention of the Dark River and absorb one attack. Then, Meng Xi descended from the sky with people inside her belly to launch a second attack. After that, Luo Yan restricted her own movements, and the Shadow Assassin delivered the final killing move: Bing Bing's ability to freeze everything.
Looking at the frozen Dark River, the group breathed a sigh of relief. The atmosphere among them became somewhat subtle. Having faced death while confronting the Dark River, they had cooperated wholeheartedly, their beliefs becoming purer than ever before. As a result, their strength had all increased significantly at that time, though this progress was somewhat volatile.
Take Zheng Long for example. His strength immediately declined because of his self-doubt, but this time, facing death, he reaffirmed his beliefs, and his strength once again increased dramatically. The strength of Original Sin Ability user is related to the intensity of the Sin emotions they provide.
Faced with the endless barrage of weapons in the Dark River, the fear of death madly stimulated their nerves, causing them to temporarily abandon their distracting thoughts. Xiao Zhang transformed into his elemental form, Zheng Long regained his faith, and relying on the power of belief, he led Meng Xi, whose strength and defense had also greatly increased, to hide in the weakest spot vulnerable to attack. Cat Queen Luo Yan, however, relied on her inherited feline senses and agile movements to weave through the sea of weapons and evade the attacks. Finally, the Shadow Assassin arrived at Bingbing's side and, with the help of Bingbing's freezing power, froze all the incoming forces.
Xiao Mi and Old Hu were a bit far away and managed to dodge in time. However, Old Hu's expression became even more serious. He wasn't worried about Bing Bing, but he felt that this attack was a bit strange. "It feels like using a cannon to kill a mosquito, and it's completely unaimed."
Seeing that the group had frozen the Dark River together, Old Hu didn't relax. He quickly looked at Xiao Mi, Xiao Mi was constantly checking the instruments, and then immediately looked up and shouted, "The black mist hasn't dissipated! The King of Fear is not dead!"
While the group was still in shock and doubt, the black blood that Zheng Long had pulled out with his iron chain began to surge. A large amount of black mist was absorbed by the blood, and the black blood rapidly multiplied, soon condensing into a blurry human shape.
"Oh dear, oh dear, that was so close! He almost became an ice block forever!" Dark River said exaggeratedly. Then, with a wave of his hand, a spear formed from black mist pierced through the Shadow Assassin's body and pinned him to a pillar of the bridge. The Shadow Assassin spat out a mouthful of black blood and remained motionless.
"Now you are the ones who deserve to be harvested. If I kill you all, everything you have will be absorbed by the mask. Then, when I have collected all seven masks, I can become the god who wields original sin." Dark River internally complained about Lu Li writing this kind of chuunibyou script, while reciting the corresponding lines in the same tone.
"Let's get rid of you first!" Dark River's blurry face was hidden beneath a mask, and the black mist behind him churned, revealing several weapons, which were launched at Bing Bing, who was standing to the side, like cannonballs.
Bing Bing's expression hardened, a hint of excitement flashing across her face. But remembering Old Hu's instructions, she hesitated for a moment, then stretched out her jade-like hand and swept it across the air, freezing the air and maintaining its absolute freeze.
The air in front of Bing Bing condensed directly into ice, and the black weapon struck as if hitting a steel plate, producing a violent impact sound. It seemed that it could not break through the ice's defense at all.
The others also took this opportunity to continue their attack on the Dark River. Even Xiao Zhang transformed into his elemental form once again, acting as the vanguard. However, Dark River's seemingly immortal black mist body was far too monstrous. Most attacks could only temporarily injure him, and he would quickly re-condense under the influence of the black mist. Conversely, as long as Dark River's attacks touched them, they would find it almost impossible to defend themselves.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by, clearing away most of the dust from the Wujiang Bridge. Black lines had appeared on the bridge surface. Old Hu, startled, quickly shouted, "Xiao Mi, use a ring to negate the black lines on the bridge!"
With a wave of the Dark River hand, Anhe unleashed a surge of black mist that condensed into a staff. He struck Zheng Long, who was closing in, sending him flying into the distance. Anhe then swung backward, dodging Meng Xi's giant toad tongue, and performed a backflip to create distance between himself and the others.
"Then, die!" Dark River snapped his fingers, and everyone tensed up, on high alert. But nothing happened after a while. Even Dark River was taken aback. He controlled the black mist to sweep away the dust on the bridge, revealing that the entire bridge was covered with strangely beautiful patterns.
When Dark River launched the sea of weapons, it left behind this hidden hand, condensing all the weapons into a high-concentration black mist, which was then used to cover the bridge surface in patterns. As long as Dark River controlled it, it would release all the black mist, and the people on it would be impaled by the sudden burst of weapons. But now those patterns seem to be just patterns, and they no longer have any effect.
One of the rings worn by Xiao Mi shattered and broke into pieces.
