Apocalypse Gachapon

In the sky, the Archaic Luanniao and Succubus Mina clashed, neither side willing to give an inch. The Archaic Luanniao, harboring a deep grudge, attacked with ferocity, hurling fireballs that exploded midair, forming towering mushroom clouds. The core area trembled under the relentless barrage.

Initially, Mina, enveloped in Abyssal energy, managed to fend off the attacks. But as the battle raged on, her composure began to falter. She struggled to keep pace with the relentless onslaught. Lin Moyu observed the battle, noticing that while both were evenly matched, Mina seemed hesitant. She mostly dodged and defended, rarely counterattacking.

Mina, a level 70-plus top-level Demon, had ascended from a lower layer through a spatial channel. She could only remain in the upper layer for about an hour. However, if she engaged in fierce battle, she would be forced back within minutes. This explained her cautious approach.

Several times, Mina tried to swoop down and grab Lin Moyu, but the Archaic Luanniao's relentless pursuit made it difficult for her to break away. The Archaic Luanniao was nearly as fast and agile as Mina.

Lin Moyu considered fleeing but knew that leaving would give Mina the opportunity she sought. Between facing the level 70-plus Abyssal Succubus and the Archaic Luanniao, he preferred the latter.

Mina, her time in the upper layer dwindling, began to grow impatient. She hadn't anticipated encountering a powerful boss like the Archaic Luanniao. After several minutes of deadlock, she finally lost patience, and a beam of dark light, tinged with an odd shade of red, shot out from her slender fingers.

Skill: Bewitching Glow.

When Lin Moyu saw the light, he momentarily froze. The Bone Armor shone brightly, snapping him back to reality. A chill ran down his spine as he realized the terrifying power of a top-level Demon. Even a brief glance had nearly mesmerized him. The Archaic Luanniao, struck by the dark light, froze midair, its pupils losing focus.

Mina lunged at Lin Moyu, knowing the Archaic Luanniao would be bewitched for only a few seconds. Lin Moyu, anticipating her move, quickly summoned his undead legions, filling the pit with skeletons and burying himself in the middle. Mina hadn't expected Lin Moyu to react so quickly. She smiled seductively, a dangerous glint in her eyes. If she couldn't capture Lin Moyu alive, she would settle for his corpse. Having committed to her attack, Mina unleashed the full power of her Abyss's energy, revealing the true strength of a top-level Demon.

A massive amount of the Abyss's energy surged forward in waves, blowing away the skeletons in her path. Mina, desperate as her time ran out, pushed forward. The skeletons Lin Moyu had arranged were swept away in seconds, scattering like raindrops.

Mina reached Lin Moyu, extending her hand, "You can't escape from me!"

With a loud bang, everything went dark. A towering Lich General blocked Mina's path. While Lich Generals weren’t strong fighters, they had incredibly high physique—among Lin Moyu's summoned creatures, they had the highest physique. The level 33 Lich General, enhanced by a status buff, boasted a physique exceeding 150,000. Even Mina couldn't knock it away with a single blow.

"Get out of the way!" Mina roared, unleashing the full force of her abyssal aura. The Lich General was blown away instantly. Lin Moyu had placed each Lich General as a final barrier, but they were all swept aside, leaving him fully exposed to Mina's gaze.

"Let’s see if you can still…" Before Mina could finish her sentence, her expression changed abruptly.

A flash of white light and a flame greeted her. The Lich Generals had been mere distractions.

Skill: Bone Fangs!

Skill: Soul Blaze!

Lin Moyu unleashed two skills simultaneously for the first time. The flame bloomed like a dazzling flower. Mina screamed in agony. Even as a top-level Demon, she couldn't endure the excruciating pain that pierced her soul. The Bone Fangs, with immense penetrating power, struck Mina. The 1,200 Bone Fangs concentrated on a single spot. However, her high level and powerful Abyss's energy made it impossible for them to penetrate her defenses. Only Soul Blaze inflicted minor damage, immobilizing her for a fraction of a second.

Seizing the opportunity, Lin Moyu retreated, recalling the Lich Generals to form another line of defense. The Lich Generals cast their healing skill, restoring each other. But Mina, enraged, unleashed another terrifying burst of power, sending them flying once more. Soul Blaze descended again, striking directly at her soul. The unavoidable attack inflicted intense pain, fueling Mina's anger. Her eyes burned with murderous intent as she glared at Lin Moyu.

Lin Moyu retreated further, placing Skeletal Warriors in front of him. Whether Lich Generals or Skeletal Warriors, they were merely tools to buy time.

To Mina, Lin Moyu was like a bedbug—small yet impossible to crush, driving her to madness. A massive black spear, radiating overwhelming murderous intent, appeared in her hand.

Lin Moyu's eyes narrowed, noticing countless human souls trapped within the spear, wailing in torment. "You deserve to die!" Lin Moyu shouted, his own murderous intent surging.

Mina smiled wickedly, "It’s you who will die!" She had abandoned her plan to capture him alive, now intent on killing him, taking his head back, and adding his soul to her spear.

The Primordial Rune on Lin Moyu's hand grew hot as he prepared for a desperate fight. Suddenly, a terrifying aura exploded in the air...

Mina's expression changed drastically. A black flaming meteor, at least a hundred meters wide, hurtled from the sky. Even before it struck, it created a terrifying air pressure, warping the space around it with intense heat. Mina, sensing life-threatening danger, let out a strange scream and fled. If she didn’t escape, the meteor would crush her.

"That wasn’t in the information provided by the Detection spell!" Lin Moyu fled as fast as he could.

The Detection spell had revealed two skills of the Archaic Luanniao: Flame Spout and Fire Explosion. He had seen both, but this was something else entirely. The Detection skill wasn’t 100% accurate after all.

Lin Moyu knew that if the meteor hit him directly, he’d be reduced to dust. The Bone Armor wouldn’t stand a chance. His only option was to escape, to avoid being hit head-on by the meteor. He recalled all his skeletons, knowing that leaving them outside would mean certain death. He activated an Advanced Random Teleportation Talisman, but it failed…

An unseen force in the core area was disrupting the talisman, rendering not only the Advanced Random Teleportation Talisman but all teleportation items useless.

"Teacher didn’t mention this..."

Bai Yiyuan hadn’t considered the possibility of a level 30 class user reaching the core area, so he hadn’t warned Lin Moyu. With no other options, Lin Moyu summoned a skeleton, which grabbed him and sped away. Being carried by the skeleton was uncomfortable, but survival was all that mattered, and the skeleton moved much faster than he could.

The black flaming meteor crashed into the ground, raising an enormous mushroom cloud. A shockwave, mixed with black flames, swept out, throwing Lin Moyu high into the air. The black flames vaporized the earth within a radius of over a thousand meters.

Thrown over a thousand meters, Lin Moyu crashed to the ground like a broken stone, rolling hundreds of meters before coming to a stop, battered and dazed. His Bone Armor shattered on impact, but he instinctively reapplied it over and over, barely managing to survive.

He checked his summon space and couldn’t help but smile wryly. His undead legions were half destroyed. He had lost more than 500 Skeletal Warriors and over 100 Skeletal Mages. But he was alive, thanks to Damage Transfer and Elemental Resistance. Damage Transfer allowed his skeletons to absorb the damage on his behalf, while Elemental Resistance significantly reduced the damage he suffered. Combined with the Fire Immunity granted by the Fire Gem, fire damage was reduced by eight-fold.

Without this combination, a level 33 character like him would have died many times over in the face of the level 67 boss's full-power attack.

"Wow, you’ve got some serious luck to still be alive!" Mina's voice suddenly echoed in his ears.
