My Avatar is Becoming the Ultimate BOSS-Chapter 738 - 390: Fierce Battle, Wrath, Child of the Year Beast
Not far away, the Bloodline vibrated her dragon wings once more, shooting through the ruins of the wooden houses and arriving in front of Ghost Bell. At this moment, the bloody wound on her abdomen had already fully healed.
Urushibara Osamu swapped places with a crow in mid-air, and together they attacked Ghost Bell.
Within a very short time, the three engaged in several rounds of combat. Every time the clock tower's hour hand began to move and before it reached midnight, Urushibara would release his superpower and swap places with one of the crows at the harbor, distancing himself from Gu Zhuo Case.
As for Gu Zhuo Case, he had to attack the Bloodline, but without using the "abilities of other clock hours" to enhance his power, he wouldn't be able to crush the Bloodline into dust in an instant.
Each time the Bloodline was severely injured, even when her heart was crushed by Ghost Bell, she would rely on the terrifying regenerative power of the Dragon Blood, and within two to three seconds, her flesh would reorganize, restoring to its original state.
Thus, the battlefield temporarily reached a stalemate, with the three of them stalling for a full minute.
Urushibara stood silently on the wooden house, watching Ghost Bell.
After Urushibara's Celestial Driver ability advanced to Tier Three, each playing card in his hand received a corresponding value.
From 1 to 10, the higher the card value, the more powerful the explosion caused when the card detonated.
Then came the three special face cards: "J," "K," and "Q."
The effect of "J" is to create a medium-sized explosion, causing enemies affected by the blast to freeze in place, unable to move for 2 seconds;
The effect of "K" is: when the "K" card is on Urushibara, and he takes damage, the "K" card can transform into a decoy, shielding Urushibara from harm once;
The role of "Q" is to heal a target hit by this card.
Finally, there are two Jokers: the "Big Joker" and the "Small Joker."
These two cards have rather unique effects. The "Big Joker" can be used to steal an enemy Exorcist's Celestial Driver when stabbed into their corpse (only one driver's power can be stolen);
The "Small Joker" swaps Urushibara's position with a target within a hundred meters and creates a small-scale explosion at the original location.
But as a "limitation" of the evolution of the Celestial Driver ability, Urushibara can no longer draw playing cards from the deck an unlimited number of times as before.
Now, he can draw up to five playing cards from the deck each time.
And every five seconds, his Celestial Driver automatically does a "shuffle"—at which point the playing cards Urushibara holds return to the deck, then randomly drawn again until he has five cards in hand.
Yet, during each shuffle, Urushibara can choose to keep one of his existing cards.
And during this five-second period, Urushibara's Celestial Driver shuffled again.
For some reason, Urushibara only drew four cards from the deck instead of five—he seemed to have reserved a card that wasn't in his hand but was somewhere else.
The four cards in his hand were: 5, 8, K, and the Big Joker.
"Bloodline, stay put for now," Urushibara suddenly said.
"Is that so?" The Bloodline put one hand on her hip and tilted her head, "Then I'm looking forward to your performance, leader."
In the next moment, Urushibara charged towards Ghost Bell, generating two crows on the back of his hand.
One crow flew straight towards Ghost Bell, while the other circled around to approach Ghost Bell from behind.
At this moment, the massive clock tower suddenly unleashed a raging sound wave, crushing one of the crows; the other crow bypassed the sound wave, attacking Ghost Bell from behind.
The crow held Urushibara's playing card "5" in its beak, and the card erupted suddenly, turning into a blazing flame aimed at Ghost Bell's back.
But at the same time, the clock tower's hour hand began to rotate rapidly, stopping at midnight.
The deafening chimes fell, and the world became silent in that moment, everything covered by mercury, including Urushibara rushing towards Ghost Bell and the flames rising behind Ghost Bell.
"Is this thing insane?"
Ghost Bell thought this as she escaped the explosive flames, suddenly charged forward, crossing over a hundred meters in a second, and then threw a punch at Urushibara's head.
In the next second, time resumed, and Ghost Bell suddenly felt something was off. At that moment, Urushibara's head indeed flew off, but the head soaring through the air was that of a red-nosed clown, not a human skull.
"What?" Ghost Bell was startled. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
He watched the dummy flying in mid-air, eyes brimming with disbelief.
["K": When the "K" card is with Urushibara, and he takes damage, the "K" card can transform into a decoy to shield Urushibara from harm once;]
In the next moment, Urushibara appeared beside Ghost Bell, and the "K" card in his hand had already vanished—he had calculated Ghost Bell's movement speed and the duration of the time stop.
Thus, he gambled that at the end of the time stop, Ghost Bell would precisely traverse over a hundred meters and hit his body at that moment. And it happened, as he used the "K" card's effect to replace himself with a decoy.
The "Big Joker" was impractical in this situation, and the "5" card had already turned into a blazing light from the crow's mouth, leaving only the "8" card in Urushibara's hand.
He used both his index and middle fingers to shoot the playing card towards Ghost Bell while simultaneously swapping his position with a crow remaining on the wooden house.
