Ch. 1041Crushing the Blazing Flame Fallen Angel!
Summary: Crushing the Blazing Flame Fallen Angel!
Key Plot Points and Events
- Yun Man confronts the Blazing Flame Fallen Angel — a level 280 elite monster (buff-boosted from its normal 250-260 range), while Yun Man is only level 190.
- The flames betray the angel — When the angel attempts to attack Yun Man with flames, she merely says "Retreat," and its own fire is forcibly forced back into its body, going on cooldown. Yun Man's authority over flames is absolute.
- The angel switches to melee combat — Realizing its fire skills are useless, it charges and slashes Yun Man's neck with its sacred longsword, but the blade clangs off her like it hit a wall of copper and iron, dealing no damage.
- Yun Man kills the angel — She drives the Fire God's Trident into the angel's head, blasting off half its skull, then slices its body in half with a sweeping strike.
- Final kill — The angel's life-saving skill activates to regenerate, but Yun Man hurls her trident like a flaming meteor, obliterating it entirely. The Secret Realm spirit confirms the kill and grants access to the next floor.
Character Developments
- Yun Man — Demonstrates overwhelming power derived from her Bifang Clan divine bird bloodline, elevated by the Beast God Boundary-Breaking Pill given to her by Ling Zhan. Her superiority lets her ignore the level gap entirely. She is cold, efficient, and utterly dominant in combat.
- Blazing Flame Fallen Angel — An intelligent elite monster that repeatedly adapts its tactics (fire skills → melee) but is progressively driven to despair as all its advantages are nullified.
Significant Themes
- Bloodline rank over raw level — Yun Man's elevated divine beast bloodline gives her absolute priority over a much higher-level opponent, emphasizing that lineage and quality of power trump numeric superiority.
- Absolute flame authority — Yun Man is portrayed as "sovereign of all flames"; the angel's own attacks fear her and cannot touch her, framing her as the natural superior of any fire-based being.
- Overwhelming dominance — The fight is one-sided despite the level disadvantage, reinforcing the notion that true power defies conventional metrics.
Character Interactions
- Yun Man vs. Blazing Flame Fallen Angel — A one-sided battle. The angel attacks, fails completely, and is swiftly destroyed. Yun Man displays only cold indifference, offering a mocking "Stop struggling. Die."
- Spectators — Job-changers watching from the Secret Realm Hall are shocked into disbelief, particularly when Yun Man appears to let the angel hit her neck without dodging. Kuna almost uses an advanced teleportation talisman out of concern.
- Secret Realm spirit — Announces the angel's death and the successful completion of the floor's trial, moving Yun Man to the next stage of the Secret Realm.
