Infinity, The Arcade Age-Chapter 330: BOSS Battle Royale

Inside the control room of the auto repair shop, the two sides stood in tense confrontation.

Seeing a total of five bosses appear at once, the adventurers on the protagonist's side were clearly stunned.

The fifth adventurer, Wolf, standing opposite them, patted the head of the velociraptor beside him and then grinned maliciously at the four adventurers on the other side.

"Well, well, well, looks like we've got quite the crowd today. I'm truly flattered. Since we've all met and there's a conflict of interest, how about we settle this according to adventurer rules?"

As he spoke, Wolf waved his hand. His two lackeys quickly stepped forward, carrying a large box, and opened it.

Hearing this, Qin Ming and the others tightened their grips on their weapons.

Neither side attempted to negotiate, knowing it would be futile.

Cutting off someone's source of wealth is akin to killing their parents. When it comes to loot, it's a matter of life and death for adventurers. In such situations, no one backs down. The only way to resolve this is through a fight, to determine the winner by skill.

On the other side, with a loud clang, the heavy iron box was opened.

From within the massive box, a soft, squirming creature slowly emerged.

It was a bizarre entity that resembled an octopus but had dinosaur-like features.

Seeing this grotesque, writhing creature, the expressions of Qin Ming and his three companions changed simultaneously.

Even before using his glasses to check its stats, Qin Ming instantly guessed what this monster was.

The sixth-level boss from Cadillacs and Dinosaurs—the Parasitic Dino-Beast!

"Crap!"

With a shout, Qin Ming, realizing the danger, immediately activated all his skills!

A-rank Skill: Qi Pulse! Damage output increased by 50%!

Follow-up: Heavenly Slide!

With a whoosh, Qin Ming vanished from his original position.

In a flash of crimson light, he burst forth with speed that defied his usual combat style, streaking like lightning toward the distant Parasitic Dino-Beast.

This so-called Parasitic Dino-Beast was a special genetic monster created by Dr. Disaster in the world of Cadillacs and Dinosaurs. It had no combat abilities of its own but possessed the terrifying ability to parasitize a host and adaptively enhance itself based on the host's strength. It was a boss with an incredibly unique mechanic.

And its most terrifying trait? It could parasitize multiple times!

To it, hosts were nothing more than expendable tools. Killing the host was pointless—as long as the Parasitic Dino-Beast itself wasn't destroyed, it could keep finding new hosts to parasitize indefinitely!

If it successfully merged with a host and joined the battle, things would get truly chaotic!

[Name: Parasitic Dino-Beast]

[Strength: 5]

[Constitution: 50]

[Agility: 5]

[Spirit: 5]

[Skill: Genetic Parasitism (S-rank)]

[Description: You can kill it countless times, but it only needs to win once!]

The Heavenly Slide skill, having been upgraded once, reached A-rank. While its attack power hadn't increased, making the upgrade seem useless at first glance, that wasn't the case. Although it didn't boost attack power, it significantly enhanced mobility.

The already terrifying dash ability of Heavenly Slide became even more fearsome after reaching A-rank.

Within a range of fifteen meters, Qin Ming could close the distance in a single second, grab his target, and unleash a series of rapid strikes!

This skill allowed him to charge through an army, seize an enemy commander, and drag them out of formation. It perfectly compensated for Qin Ming's previous weakness, ensuring he no longer feared long-range enemies.

However, at its core, this skill was still a dash, not a teleportation.

This meant that no matter how fast it was, it still left the enemy with a brief window to react.

While Wolf might not be able to dodge this move, that didn't mean he couldn't counter it!

Any adventurer who had risen from the bottom to the intermediate level had experienced countless battles and had lightning-fast reflexes.

The moment Wolf saw Qin Ming charging toward him in a crimson flash, he immediately grabbed one of his lackeys and hurled him forward.

The crimson streak that was Qin Ming collided with the lackey, grabbing him mid-charge.

With a boom, the unfortunate lackey was nearly shattered by the impact, but Qin Ming's skill was forcibly interrupted.

Before Qin Ming, his expression darkening, could launch a second dash, the Parasitic Dino-Beast, having climbed out of the box, leaped into the air and latched onto Wolf.

Parasitism—complete!

Crack!

A sickening sound of flesh tearing echoed through the room. Wolf, who had been of average build, underwent a dramatic transformation as the Parasitic Dino-Beast fused with him.

His body grew in size, muscles bulging. In the blink of an eye, the once-slim young man had transformed into a hulking brute!

The sixth boss-level entity had entered the fray!

As the parasitism completed, Wolf's appearance underwent a drastic change, his face now twisted into a ferocious expression. He looked up, his eyes locking onto Qin Ming, who had stopped in his tracks, and let out a sinister laugh.

"Interception failed, you idiot! You—"

Bang!

Before Wolf could finish his sentence, a crimson light flashed before his eyes.

In the next moment, Qin Ming charged forward like lightning, grabbing Wolf by the throat and dragging him through the crowd, hurling him backward at breakneck speed.

So what if you've transformed? Even if you've turned into a monster, I'll still kill you!

As the two of them shot out of the crowd and into the distance, the others exchanged glances and immediately raised their weapons, launching into a frenzied attack.

In an instant, the spacious control room of the auto repair shop became a chaotic battlefield. The sounds of shouting, cursing, screams, and dinosaur roars blended together into a cacophony.

On one side were five protagonist bosses and three adventurers, while the other side had five bosses, along with a horde of minions and elite monsters.

A battle of this scale and intensity was something even Qin Ming had never experienced before.

Amidst the chaos, Qin Ming, who had forcibly dragged Wolf out of the battlefield, finally put some distance between them and the others. Seizing the initiative, he detonated the blood within Wolf's body, landing a devastating blow.

However, Wolf, being an intermediate adventurer, was no pushover. Especially now that he had fused with the Parasitic Dino-Beast, his strength had been significantly enhanced.

Qin Ming, who had sacrificed some of his strength to increase his defense by switching equipment, was immediately thrown off balance when his Heavenly Slide skill was interrupted. Wolf, with his newfound strength, hurled Qin Ming away with tremendous force.

In terms of raw power, with the Parasitic Dino-Beast's enhancement, Wolf actually surpasses Qin Ming!

Watching Qin Ming quickly stabilize himself mid-slide, Wolf let out a maniacal laugh, his eyes glowing red as he charged forward with increased speed.

"You dare challenge me one-on-one? You've got guts! But are you ready to face the consequences of failure?"

Wolf lunged forward, his sharp dinosaur claws slashing toward Qin Ming's chest. The claws scraped across the bulletproof suit Qin Ming was wearing, leaving a trail of sparks... and a few chest hairs.

Seeing that his attack had only managed to scratch the surface, while his own claws were left sore from the friction, Wolf's triumphant grin froze on his face.

Refusing to believe it, he snarled and launched another attack.

"Your skin's pretty tough, huh? Must be some special item! Doesn't matter! Let's see if you've got more tricks than I do!"

As he spoke, Wolf's hands began to move frantically, slashing at Qin Ming four or five times in rapid succession. When he realized he still couldn't break through Qin Ming's defense, he suddenly opened his mouth and spat out several globs of green liquid.

The corrosive saliva, a B-rank skill of the Parasitic Dino-Beast, sizzled as it landed on nearby objects, eating through them with ease.

Caught off guard, Qin Ming was hit in the face by the green liquid, and white smoke immediately began to rise from his skin.

Under Wolf's expectant gaze, Qin Ming's health began to drop: -1, -1, -1, -1...

After nearly dying in a previous battle, Qin Ming had gone all out to strengthen his survivability, turning himself into an immovable tank. Now, he had his first victim.

Wolf's attacks, despite their ferocity, dealt almost no actual damage to Qin Ming!

While the physical damage was negligible, the psychological damage was off the charts.

Qin Ming, who had never expected his opponent to start spitting at him mid-fight, was visibly annoyed.

With a dark expression, Qin Ming's arms began to glow with a mix of blood and white flames as he launched a counterattack.

Ignoring Wolf's attacks entirely, Qin Ming went straight for a flurry of punches aimed at Wolf's head.

This relentless barrage of blows left Wolf completely stunned.

Wolf slashed with his claws? Qin Ming punched him in the head.

Wolf spat acid? Qin Ming punched him in the head.

Wolf extended mutated ribs from his sides to stab at Qin Ming? Qin Ming kept punching him in the head.

This utterly shameless fighting style was something Wolf had never encountered before.

Dizzy and disoriented, Wolf had no idea how to respond.

It was like a martial arts master facing a heavily armored knight—no matter how skilled you are, you can't break through their armor!

Faced with a golden hammer swinging straight at your head, you'd be just as stunned—especially when the hammer has armor-piercing effects!

From trying to outmaneuver Qin Ming with skill and strategy, Wolf quickly descended into a desperate, no-holds-barred brawl.

Within minutes, the once-arrogant Wolf, who had just completed his transformation, was reduced to a pitiful state.

In the corridors of the auto repair shop, Wolf was now running for his life.

He ran ahead, and Qin Ming chased him from the side.

Yes, the side!

Despite the Parasitic Dino-Beast's enhancements, Wolf, who wasn't particularly fast to begin with, couldn't outrun Qin Ming.

As he ran, Qin Ming continued to pummel him, leaving Wolf bruised and battered.

It was no surprise that Wolf couldn't beat Qin Ming. His defense was inferior, his speed lacking, and his technique nonexistent. Qin Ming's punches were precise and aimed at vital points, while Wolf's attacks were wild and uncoordinated.

Qin Ming specialized in close combat, with an A-rank fighting skill.

Wolf, on the other hand, was a spirit-focused fighter. What kind of combat technique did he have?

Usually, Wolf could rely on his inflated stats to bully others, but now, facing a true heavyweight, his weaknesses were fully exposed.
