Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 737 - 362 Angelic Visit, Blood-colored Judgment of Godslaying_2
[The building collapsed with a loud bang, stirring up a cloud of dust...]
[The ’Painbearer Belatu’ roared loudly, seeming to have vanquished you, an annoying fly, giving it immense relief.]
[Just as it turned around, a huge, sharp blade pierced through its chest from the back, opening up a vicious wound between its chest and abdomen.]
[Instantly, blood spewed out, its colorful digestive organs largely exposed to the air...]
[’Belatu’ howled in agony, extremely furious, with this fatal strike seemingly inflicting severe wounds!]
[It turned back and again engaged in fierce battle with ’Flandre’...]
[...]
[Everything before your eyes turned black, and a foul sweet liquid kept oozing from your nose and mouth, and every bone in your body felt twisted and shattered.]
[The debris from the collapsed building weighed you down, making you unable to see anything, feel immensely heavy, and your life force gradually faded...]
[Suddenly, noise came from above your head, fragments of broken stone and bricks rapidly removed, a dull glowing light appeared, and the figure of ’Jinmu’ appeared in your sight.]
[It lifted a huge rock, pulling you out from the debris...]
[At this point, all your bone armor was shattered and peeled off, the bones in your chest collapsed and crushed, all your limbs twisted in unnatural directions, as limp as noodles.]
[The ’Extreme Evil Armour’ that used to protect your body had long disappeared.]
[You’ve sustained near-fatal injuries!]
"If I hadn’t reacted quickly, I would have already been dead by now!"
Even with a one-time defensive item of legend+ level, it was impossible to withstand an attack from a top-tier Demigod.
Luckily, although this defensive item couldn’t completely block the attack, it did absorb a large proportion of the damage. Otherwise, with just the armor of the Purgatory Angel, he would have been killed instantly.
If it hadn’t been the Purgatory Angel’s body, Lin Xun would not have survived.
Indeed, mortals cannot intervene in a war between demigods.
Lin Xun switched to a healing body, healed the Purgatory Angel to full health, and returned to the battlefield with Jinmu.
The battle was now in full swing. Both the Painbearer Belatu and Flandre were fighting with reckless abandon, disregarding any defenses and trading lethal blow after blow.
Because Belatu was distracted while attacking him, Flandre managed to land a full power hit, critically injuring Belatu.
After benefiting from the ’Bounty of Grace’ healing, Flandre, who was almost at full strength, had an exhausting battle with Belatu, who had only half of his health left, and they were now both at critical health.
If it wasn’t for Lin Xun’s ’Bounty of Grace’, Flandre would have undoubtedly been defeated and killed long ago.
"All my trump cards are used up, now I can only pray that Flandre can hold on a bit longer."
Lin Xun wasn’t optimistic about the outcome of the battle. Though both of them were at low health, Belatu was clearly stronger than Flandre.
Even if Flandre was willing to trade blow for blow without caring for her life, it was highly unlikely that she could hold out until the end. Belatu has a much higher chance of winning.
[...]
[The ’Painbearer Belatu’ swung its scorpion tail forcefully, its needle piercing towards ’Flandre’ like a huge drill bit.]
[But ’Flandre’ had no intention of resisting. She parried her enemy’s incoming pincer swing with the blade on her left arm, allowing the needle to penetrate her body and injecting potent venom.]
[The blade on her right arm fiercely stabbed into the enemy’s torso, further enlarging the gruesome wound. Moreover, the six bony claws on her back also pierced into the wound on her enemy’s chest.]
[The bony claws expanded with force, instantly ripping apart ’Belatu’s’ entire chest and abdominal cavity.]
[The enemy’s organs uncontrollably spilled out, revealing a large ball of twisted tissues of various colors.]
[Among that clump of flesh and blood, you unexpectedly found a faint glimmer...]
[’Belatu’ was severely wounded and ’Flandre’ was no better off.]
[With the needle continuously injecting venom into its chest, its chest flesh was dissolving and melting, oozing out a foul-smelling fluid.]
[As the venom continued to spread, ’Flandre’s’ movements visibly slowed down.]
[She mustered strength to swing the blade, cutting off the scorpion tail halfway, and pulling out the remaining bit of the tail from her chest, but the needle remained lodged deep within, continuously causing massive damage.]
[The ’Painbearer Belatu’ roared excitedly, suddenly backed off, distancing itself from ’Flandre’.]
[’Flandre’ wanted to pursue her enemy, but the spreading venom greatly slowed her down, making it impossible for her to catch up.]
[You knew that ’Belatu’ was waiting for the venom to spread further, until ’Flandre’ loses all ability to move. Then one last strike would secure an easy victory.]
[However, you were helpless and could only watch as ’Flandre’ sank into the quagmire of defeat...]
Lin Xun immediately stopped the fruitless healing operation.
He quickly used the ’luck enhancer’ to obtain luck value, and using the last bit of his strength, he activated the ’Eight Maidens Kagura Dance’ skill, which could remove the poisoned state.
But not much time had passed since he last used the luck enhancer, he didn’t even have a third of luck value accumulated.
Even if Lin Xun got extremely lucky and got a high roll of 28, it wasn’t enough to change the outcome.
[...]
[Your dispel skill ’Eight Maidens Kagura Dance’ has too low a rank and is unable to dispel the negative status.]
"Damn it!"
Lin Xun gritted his teeth in frustration.
If he could use ’Bounty of Grace’ twice, along with the added luck, he might have been able to dispel the abnormal status and turn the tide of the battle.
