Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons-Chapter 681 - 601 Victory and Injuries

"Boom!"

Another transparent rock steel barrier appeared between the bald strong man and Meizike.

But unlike before, this time the bald strong man was prepared. The penetrating power of his punch was stronger, directly shattering the rock wall and smashing towards Meizike on the other side.

It managed to stall him for a moment, giving Meizike time to react.

Meizike fell back from the pressure of the punch wind, directly toppling backward off Cotton Candy.

The bald strong man attempted to continue the pursuit, but a large barrage of missiles bombarded him head-on, forcing him to cross his arms in front of him for protection.

Explosions sounded one after another in the sky, and the smoke from the blasts enveloped the strong man completely.

Endless shells and bullets continued to fly into the smoke.

"Haa!"

Longbei, having endured the series of attacks, finally converted all the damage into a counterstrike, channeling it into his hammer.

The bald strong man caused considerable harm to him, making this counterstrike exceptionally powerful.

The hammer became entwined with countless blue lightning bolts and was forcefully flung towards the bald strong man, restrained by the missiles in the air.

The speed of the flying hammer was incredibly fast, striking the enemy within the smoke.

With a loud noise, a figure dragged a trail of smoke and was hurled out of the cloud.

He then fell in an arc onto the arena not far away, crashing heavily onto it.

You could see one of the bald strong man's eyes tightly shut, blood seeping from the corner. His left arm was heavily dented, hanging limply like a rag on one side.

The bald strong man, who landed on the ground, quickly got up.

Now it was clear to see he's covered in blood, and due to the severe injuries and the black-and-white flames, these wounds couldn't heal quickly even with a golden-level constitution.

A few spear-like attacks made of black-and-white flames flew at the bald strong man, hurled by Kreya.

The flaming spears flew silently and swiftly; if unseen, they would hardly be perceived or noticed.

Kreya herself also maintained her ghost form, following behind the spears, wielding the flying wing dual blades to attack.

Three mechas over three meters tall were constructed, with three precision mechanical spheres embedded within to control them, also advancing against the bald strong man.

With his remaining arm, the bald strong man deflected the advancing spears, yet they still left a few cuts on his arm.

The next assault was Kreya's.

The wounds on him made the bald strong man increasingly struggle facing the combined attack from three mechas and Kreya.

Due to the severe injuries, previous wounds had no chance to heal before new ones were added, and these wounds reignited the black-and-white flames.

These deadly black-and-white flames enormously troubled him, continuously burning his wounds, preventing them from healing, while he had to expend internal energy and focus to control their spread.

Not to mention these burning flames stinging his soul, sapping his spirit continuously.

To Kreya's astonishment, such burning typically unbearable for ordinary people, inducing relentless pain, seemed to have no effect on the bald strong man.

Kreya's flying wing dual blades swung again, in liberated state, transformed into long energy sword blades, successfully leaving two crossing wounds on his abdomen again.

This strike finally enraged the bald strong man, who ignored the mechas' attacks to focus entirely on striking Kreya.

The golden armor on his arm and the skull-like Buddha beads around his neck emitted a sinister glow.

A bloody aura instantly condensed in his fist, a piercing punch like a missile instantly struck Kreya.

The shield Kreya swiftly deployed in hand had no effect, the aura piercing through it, hitting her body directly.

At the moment of impact, Kreya's armor immediately transformed into anti-demon armor.

But this punch wasn't a magic attack; upon being hit, Kreya instantaneously exited her soul state, staggered back a few steps.

Her complexion turned pale.

The bald strong man attacking from the ground wasn't faring well either; he completely ignored defense to launch this attack, allowing the three mechas to implant a number of bombs in his flesh.

With a loud explosion, the blasts detonated beneath his skin, leaving him covered in gaping wounds.

His blood, flesh, and bone were clearly visible, with a large pool of blood forming beneath his feet, mixed with pieces of flesh.

The bald strong man kneeled partially on the arena, his appearance shifting from the previous bloody sinister to a peaceful demeanor.

"Congratulations, you've won."

He spoke with his damaged body, sitting cross-legged, hands clasped together.

His body then disintegrated into light golden particles scattered.

With the disappearance of the bald strong man, the light veil enveloping the arena vanished as well.

At the center of the arena appeared a square golden treasure chest, radiating dazzling brilliance.

This signaled that Kane and his team truly won the battle, allowing them to finally lower their guard.

However, Kane and his team had no interest in inspecting their spoils now; Kane and Lilu raced to Kreya's side immediately.

And Meizike has already begun simple treatment for Longbei, who appears to be the most severely injured.

Earlier, he took a series of frenzied blows from the enemy and managed to turn them into a counterattack, but he also sustained serious injuries.

At this moment, Longbei's left arm, which holds the shield, and the left side of his chest, are both heavily dented, with countless fractures in the internal arm bones and ribs.

Fortunately, Longbei's life recovery rules are constantly healing his body, along with Meizike's red particles. He looks quite miserable, but at least there's no danger to his life.

Meanwhile, Kreya has few external injuries, but her pale face and drowsy, confused eyes show that Kreya is not feeling well right now.

Kreya has already collapsed to the ground, with her upper body supported by Kane, softly resting in his arms.

Her eyes keep drooping, just like someone who hasn't slept in a long time, constantly trying to drift into sleep.

Lilulu is next to her, carefully checking and analyzing Kreya's condition.

Kane frowns tightly as he asks Lilulu, "How is she, what kind of damage did that attack just do to her?"

Lilulu does not speak, but her tightly furrowed brow relaxes as she says to the still resisting Kreya, "Sleep, Sister Kreya."

Upon hearing Lilulu's words, Kreya manages to nod slightly before closing her eyes tightly and falling asleep in Kane's arms.

Immediately, the Anti-Demon Armor on her body disappears with a flash of light, and her attire changes to her usual everyday wear.

This behavior indicates that Kreya has completely lost control of her Origin Skills, not even able to provide the slightest magic power.

The everyday attire is Kreya's most fundamental wear. Once her spirit relaxes, when she can't control herself, her subconscious instinctively changes attire.

This means that Kreya has truly fallen asleep and seems to be quite at ease in her slumber.

Then Lilulu speaks to the anxious Kane beside her, "It's alright, Sister Kreya just lost a lot of energy because of that attack. The power and rules of death safeguard her soul, so there's no substantial harm. She just needs some time to sleep and restore her missing energy."

Upon hearing Lilulu's explanation, Kane relaxes and nods.

Then he beckons to the sky, and Cotton Candy immediately flies down.

Kane places Kreya on Cotton Candy's back and covers her with a blanket.

At this moment, Longbei, with his whole left arm and chest bandaged in a bundle, limps over.

Seeing Kreya on Cotton Candy, the two ask worriedly, "How is she, is there anything serious?"

Kane shakes his head and says, "It's nothing serious, she just needs a good sleep to recover."

"That's good." The two are finally relieved.

After all, Kreya took the enemy's last angry blow head-on, it's hard not to worry if it might have caused severe damage.

Kane then stores the central treasure chest in Space Equipment and steps down from the arena. He finds a good spot nearby and constructs a comfortable house.

They need to rest for a while; the first gold-level enemy has already caused them quite some damage.

It started with a magic immunity that directly rendered Lilulu's attack skills ineffective. In this battle, the only role Lilulu played was at the beginning, providing all kinds of enhancements.

Perhaps Lilulu can summon elements from the Fairy Tale World, but for a gold-level battle, those creatures can only serve as cannon fodder.

Apart from wasting resources, they have no use whatsoever.

The enemy then used percentage physical penetration to inflict considerable damage on Longbei, making it impossible for his constitution to rely on rules to recover the entire left half of his body for a while.

Especially the last death counterattack, which wasn't physical damage nor magic damage, hitting Kreya directly.

Its essential effect surely isn't merely to knock Kreya unconscious.

This attack relates to energy, meaning it's a soul-targeting attack, but Kreya is protected by the authorities and power of death.

Soul-targeting attacks are unlikely to cause exaggerated damage to Kreya, and it's even difficult for Kreya to enter a state of death now.

Unless the energy of the attack greatly exceeds Kreya, at most it would force Kreya into a state of feigned death, requiring some time to recover.

The power of death is always somewhat unreasonable.

Kane and the others directly find a suitable room within the house and sleep, truly participating in battle using rules is indeed too exhausting of energy and physical strength.

It's completely different from the consumption during training.

They need to rest for a while, and the task of keeping watch is entrusted to Yoyo and the Intelligent Core that Kane just released.

Not to mention Lilulu didn't expend much energy this time, so it's up to Lilulu during this period.

Besides, there aren't any small monsters in this dungeon, only three leader monsters.

Doing this is merely a precaution.

As the sky loses its light and turns into dark night.

In the middle of the night, Kane finally opens his eyes, then gets up to check on Kreya in the adjacent room.

At this moment, Kreya is still on Cotton Candy, deeply asleep, clearly not about to awaken soon.

Arriving in the living room outside, Kane finds Meizike already awake, still sensing Lilulu's presence outside through the house.

Although Kane and Meizike also participated in the battle, they haven't sustained any damage, only expending some energy and physical strength.

The only ones directly hit by attacks, Longbei and Kreya, are still resting.
