The Broken Clock Hand
Taya, the polar region.
When the Miasma Throat revealed its White Dragon form amidst the wind and snow, no one present showed any surprise.
He had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
This is vastly different from his previous methods of removing his disguise and then reaping the rewards amidst the enemy's terrified, desperate, and incredulous gaze!
But the Miasma Throat was too lazy to think about it.
What difference would it make if a few insects from a low-magic world knew?
Just as he was about to end the battle, he suddenly saw intense fire Magic Power surging up from Zijin's body.
The girl's long-awaited spell finally came to fruition.
Large trails of flame intertwined above the White Dragon, forming a giant ring, within which countless fine lines of fire frantically roamed, weaved, and wove.
The immense aura of the flames was extremely repulsive to Miasma Throat.
That bright red color also signifies danger!
With a stomp of its Miasma Throat, the massive dragon body was about to dodge to the side.
At the same instant, fiery red patterns lit up the ice beneath his feet.
Countless fire-elemental crystals, buried beneath the ice, burst forth with blinding light.
A square magic circle unfolded on the ice surface, and the scorching Magic Power made the thick ice layer sizzle.
Swish!
A flame shot up from the ground and entangled the dragon's feet in the Miasma Throat.
Tighten into a chain shape.
Then came the second, third, and fourth rounds.
The "Dawn and Dusk Bracelet" had already materialized on Su Ming's wrist.
Sequence Seven: "Crystal Cascade Magic Cube"!
Activate the magic crystal in all directions for resonant output!
The Zijin's magic connected with the pre-set magic circle on the ice surface.
Her eyes narrowed, and she raised her staff high.
"The Ash Prison Cage, Earth is Square!"
The next moment, the ring-shaped flame threads above suddenly contracted, and the square array patterns below also rose simultaneously.
The sky is round, the earth is square.
The two layers of magic intertwined and merged, resembling a red-hot cage.
With a thunderous crash, the enormous White Dragon was pinned down!
The fiery chains wrapped around the translucent, snow-white scales of the Miasma Throat, hissing and crackling.
Frost Magic Power and fire Magic Power clashed and tore at each other, white mist exploded between the scales, and was then evaporated by the high temperature.
This was a transcendental magic spell completed by Su Ming using the "Crystal Cascade Magic Cube" to activate a large number of magic crystals, and then superimposing all of Zijin's fire Magic Power!
Even the Destiny Level Miasma Throat was imprisoned at this moment and could not easily break free.
"----you!"
Even the most oblivious Miasma Throat would know they were being targeted.
The chains of the Flame Cage bound his mouth, preventing him from exhaling dragon breath.
Even speaking requires struggle.
"How do you know that I am the great White Dragon?!"
"It's too easy to spot." Su Ming sneered.
"You did indeed put on a lot of disguise."
"But the eyelashes around your eyes are split and forked like ice cracks."
The Miasma Throat widened its eyes.
This is indeed a unique characteristic of the White Dragon, which prevents blizzards from getting into its eyes.
"Why do you stare at other people's eyelashes when you're fighting?!" he shouted angrily.
"Because I've never seen anyone as ugly as you!" Zijin retorted sarcastically.
She continued to intensify the Magic Power in her hands.
Su Ming was also maintaining the output of the "Dawn and Dusk Bracelet".
It was actually Yinfei who discovered this.
When she first saw the Miasma Throat, she thought the dragon's eyes were so beautiful.
He secretly felt jealous.
So I took a closer look and noticed this detail.
After being gently persuaded by Chloe, Yinfei naturally revealed everything.
****
Under the control of Zijin.
Another chain of flames coiled around the mouth of the Miasma Throat.
The White Dragon struggled to open its mouth and crushed it.
Su Ming glanced at the sky almost imperceptibly.
A star is gradually becoming brighter.
Everything is proceeding according to plan.
However, the Magic Power crystals on the ice are being rapidly depleted.
The polar winds are exceptionally harsh, interspersed with the icy breath that emanates and dissipates from the Miasma Throat.
These sensations seeped into the body, like countless tiny nails wedged into the bones.
More and more people gathered.
The "Pale" field clears defenses and increases damage tenfold.
Unable to spare any strength to defend themselves, both of them were severely injured.
"So what if we've been found out!" Miasma Throat's voice was irritable.
He struggled to break free, and bit off another flame that was wrapped around his mouth.
"How long can this shabby cage of yours last?"
"Half a minute?"
"One minute?"
"I am a mighty Destiny Level dragon."
Even without the "Dust Serpent Heavy Armor," you ants cannot harm us!
With a sudden burst of strength from Miasma Throat four legs and wings, the fiery cage trembled violently.
Su Ming and Zijin both felt a surge in their chests at the same time.
The next moment, the flame shackles around the Miasma Throat's throat were completely shattered!
He suddenly turned his head to the right, the dragon's head pointing at Su Ming.
Frosty dragon breath was already gathering in his throat.
But just as he was about to open his mouth to spit, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a faint flash of flame on his left.
It's that annoying weapon!
A sudden warning arose in Miasma Throat's heart, and Magic Power frantically gathered, instantly making the shield on his head thick and bright.
Puff!
The next instant, a small hole was torn in the shield in front of him.
Immediately afterwards, my vision turned red.
An intense, excruciating pain exploded!
An extremely sharp metal bullet pierced his left eye socket.
The hard sphenoid bone at the back was also brutally pierced!
As the projectile penetrated deeper, it broke into more fragments, like a metal cone that suddenly exploded, tearing through flesh and blood and piercing through the bridge of the nose!
"Awooooo!"
The Miasma Throat howled in agony, its massive body struggling wildly.
The flame chains binding him broke off one after another.
Su Ming and Zijin were under pressure again and took a step back in unison.
The pair of purple bracelets on Zijin's wrist shattered on the spot.
The enhancement items on Su Ming's body also floated up and exploded into shards of light in mid-air.
But the Miasma Throat no longer cared about them.
That last blow was a sharp pain he had never experienced in his entire life!
"What kind of lousy weapon is this?!"
He knew the weapon that attacked him.
It's still that annoying Gauss rifle.
However, the "Yinglong" mech was already destroyed.
The Miasma Throat looked with its other eye.
The Gauss rifle was discovered to be mounted on a supply drone.
It was positioned just outside the "Pale" area, with the gun pointed in this direction.
Of course, calling it a "drone" isn't entirely accurate.
Because Beianqi is standing on the wing, controlling its levitation via the Spinal Hub interface.
Then, the buzzing magnetic coils exploded, and the second bullet was fired.
The Miasma Throat was greatly alarmed.
He suddenly opened his mouth, and a torrent of icy dragon breath surged forth.
Although the supply drones were not covered by the "Pale" field, they themselves had no ability to defend against magic.
They also lacked sufficient mobility to evade.
With a Beianqi of the control button on her hand, the jetpack on her back suddenly activated, propelling her rapidly backward.
The supply drone and Gauss rifle were hit by the dragon's breath, their outer shells frosted over, and they tumbled and fell onto the ice.
****
But the second nail-shaped projectile had already traveled against the dragon's breath.
At high speeds, it is completely unaffected by the icy breath.
The sturdy metal nail reached the Miasma Throat in less than a tenth of a second.
Layers of ice armor appeared on the Miasma Throat.
But it had no effect.
The long metal spike pierced straight through the ice armor and struck the dragon's thick forehead bone.
Then, in an instant, he was inside!
Since Su Ming started the uranium centrifuge production line, he has effortlessly unlocked another byproduct:
Depleted uranium armor-piercing projectile!
At the moment of hypersonic impact, a narrow "shear band" with high strain and temperatures of thousands of degrees Celsius will be generated on the shoulder of a depleted uranium metal warhead.
The material softens and fractures, and the edges of the malfunctioning warhead continue to break off.
Therefore, the core of the projectile was preserved.
The more it crashes, the sharper it gets!
The armor-piercing bullet pierced through all obstacles and entered the brain of the Miasma Throat.
The depleted uranium powder and fragments stripped off burned violently at high temperatures, instantly generating a heat of over 3,000 degrees Celsius.
The more you drill, the more it burns!
"Aww!"
The Miasma Throat screamed again.
But this time, he felt much less pain.
The pain seemed to suddenly stop at some point.
This is because the brain itself does not have pain receptors.
Only Miasma Throat's consciousness was burned into a brief blank.
****
Taking this opportunity, Su Ming and Zijin stopped injecting power into the "Ash Prison Cage".
The two were retreating rapidly.
Stay as far away as possible.
In the polar night sky, a bright star is rapidly growing larger.
It's Plain Zeng No. 4!
Twenty minutes ago, this launch did not fly along an oblique trajectory, but instead maintained a vertical ascent, creating a super high-altitude trajectory.
After reaching its highest point, it turned 180 degrees and began to fall towards the ground.
Secondary ignition occurs upon approaching the ground.
Terminal guidance activated.
Accelerate again!
The entire projectile resembled a shooting star piercing the polar night, trailing a violently ablated tail, aiming at the enormous white dragon shadow below.
A sudden sense of fear enveloped Miasma Throat.
This forced him to snap out of his daze.
The Miasma Throat snapped free of the remaining chains of flame, attempting to escape, but it was too late.
He spread his wings.
"True Name of Ice and Snow!"
The most powerful defensive spell was suddenly unleashed, instantly creating multiple layers of shields above the White Dragon's body.
They formed a beautiful, rotating rhombus.
But this struggle is pointless.
Boom!!!!
The next moment, the Plain Zeng No. 4, traveling at more than twenty times the speed of sound and carrying a weight of over ten tons, effortlessly pierced through all of White Dragon's defensive efforts with absolute physical momentum.
Initially, the shield's Magic Power was dissipated by the shockwave.
The force of the transmission crushed the ice layer beneath the Miasma Throat.
Immediately afterwards, the projectile pierced through the dragon's body through the Miasma Throat!
In conventional understanding, water and flesh are both soft substances.
Under such extremely high-speed impact, even the softest liquid will behave like a hard barrier.
At the moment of impact, the blood, bodily fluids, and ice fragments at the point of contact are extremely compressed, and the temperature rises wildly in a barely perceptible brief period of time.
The water doesn't have time to flow or vaporize and escape.
They were pressed into a thin, incandescent film.
The membrane then ruptured.
Scales flew off.
Bone fracture.
Minced meat and ice shards mixed together, compressed into a ring-shaped cloud by the shockwave.
Large swaths of matter were ionized, and a blindingly bright flash exploded simultaneously within the White Dragon's body and on the ice surface.
A powerful shockwave swept across the ice and water surface.
The ice first sank, and then, as if struck by an invisible Giant Hammer, it shattered, overturned, and disintegrated in large pieces.
The ice shards were swept into the air by the shockwave and then exploded into steam in the high temperature.
From a distance, it looks like a bright white flower suddenly blooming under the polar night.
Then, the sound followed the light and spread.
****
A massive shockwave swept through.
Su Ming coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground.
The distance was too close, and the shockwave from the explosion was too strong.
The frost seeped into his bones, making his entire body feel cold, and his chest ached when he breathed.
After a while, Su Ming vaguely sensed someone approaching.
It consists of a large number of members of the Final Bone Mad Machines.
He was gently lifted onto a stretcher, and someone wrapped him in a warm blanket.
Someone is receiving treatment.
Some people are researching how to remove the frost power from him.
Finally, we won this game.
Su Ming breathed a sigh of relief.
Upon learning of the impending attack by the Miasma Throat, their original strategy was to use Su Ming's own "Dawn and Dusk Bracelet" Sequence 3, "Eternal Frost Deposition," to construct the super-tier magic "Frost Prison Star Burial" together with Zijin.
Combined with the low temperatures of the polar battlefield, this spell can freeze the "Poison Dragon," causing it to freeze in place for a brief period.
This created a brief window of opportunity for the attack by the Plain Zeng No. 4.
But the enemy is actually the White Dragon, the son of ice and snow.
If they really did that, it would undoubtedly be equivalent to gently "caressing" it in the way that the White Dragon liked best.
Su Ming felt a sense of relief.
He noticed the anomaly in the details.
Chloe, moreover, promptly identified the true dragon species of the Miasma Throat.
Otherwise, they would all perish due to flawed tactics.
****
Su Ming forced open his eyes and raised his head.
Everything in my field of vision was swaying slightly.
Snowstorms, firelight, shattered ice, and a massive rift torn open by the shockwave.
He saw a group of people surrounding Beianqi in the distance.
She dodged in time and was only slightly injured.
On the other side were Zijin.
She was clearly badly injured as well; there was blood at the corner of her lips, and her hair was streaked with white.
However, given Zijin's strength, she still flew further than Su Ming before the explosion.
The girl has now returned to the spot Plain Zeng exploded, and is unfurling her Divine Favor Staff.
A Pale, twisted dragon soul, marked with icy blue light, was forcibly pulled out from under the ice by Zijin.
It struggled frantically, sometimes transforming into White Dragon's head, sometimes dissipating into large swaths of shattered soul mist.
Fine chains extended from the Divine Favor Scepter, piercing deep into the dragon's soul and pinning it in mid-air.
Following these chains, the tormenting magic shone brightly, binding the soul.
The soul of the Miasma Throat twisted wildly, emitting a shrill scream that Psionic Power perception.
The surrounding members of the Final Bone Mad Machines instinctively took a half step back.
Zijin looked up, her eyes filled with anger.
"Now, give me an explanation!"
"What exactly does Xiyu plan to do on Earth?!"
A sharp pain surged in his chest, and Su Ming lay back down.
"Don't move!" a therapist said.
"The shockwave caused severe bleeding in your lungs."
Several healing spells were cast on Su Ming, while gentle light dispelled the chill within him.
In the dim light, a team member rushed over and said urgently.
"Chairman, that's the testimony from Miasma Throat."
Without delay, Su Ming quickly relayed the message to Miao Xin.
Miao Xin was immediately startled.
"[Su Ming, in this situation, I must take action!]" she pleaded.
Su Ming gazed at the polar night sky, his consciousness already somewhat scattered.
But he still responded.
Go ahead.
A wave of intense dizziness washed over me.
Someone nearby exclaimed in surprise, someone immediately increased the spell's output, and someone else shouted, "Where is Stacy?"
The sound quickly faded into the distance.
Su Ming's vision went black, and he completely lost consciousness.
