Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 2250: Breaking through (2)

Kirsailtingʼs heart, which had already relaxed slightly, tightened again.

His own strength was already somewhat inferior to Kunzuoʼs, and the only reason he had been able to fight the other to that extent was that the opponent had been injured and was not in good condition.

But under the Lie God-grade equipment, he could no longer hold on. Even using his ultimate trump card had not fully blocked it. It looked as if he was fine now, only bleeding a little, but he knew that the equipment and skills on him had prevented fatal wounds, yet his injuries were still severe. Moreover, the strange power carried by the Lie God-grade weapon was constantly eroding his body.

Kirsailting was now enduring with great effort just to keep from collapsing; for someone at his level, such injuries were already very serious.

So now Kirsailting could not stop; once he stopped, he did not know if he would have another chance to escape.

Facing the sudden interception, he used the strongest attack he could muster at this moment without thinking.

This peak expertʼs body seemed to suddenly split off a shadow. Unlike the black shadows in many of the Star-Eye Clanʼs abilities, this shadow was very faint, almost transparent, and there were even fainter blurry shadow connections between it and Kirsailting.

As soon as this shadow appeared, somehow, it directly found Lady Star, who had not yet revealed her form, and bound this Star-Eye Clan leader who had been about to launch an attack right there on the spot. Some light spots immediately precipitated out of her body and began to transfer onto that shadow.

At the same time, Kirsailting turned back and waved at Kunzuo, who was pursuing him; from the ground in front of him, several snake-like lifeforms emerged, their heads made of energy and their lower bodies of flesh and blood.

Those in the know recognized them as ”Half-Life Worms,” a special lifeform that only the Reina Star people could cultivate. Basically, every clansman received varying numbers of them from childhood and would cultivate them anytime, anywhere.
That is to say, a Reina Star person had cultivated these lifeforms for as long as they had lived.

Kirsailting was a peak expert, and these four Half-Life Worms had been cultivated by him for who knew how many years. He would not normally bring them out, because this lifeform had a characteristic: its attack power was extremely strong, but its defense was very weak.

That is to say, they were very easy to kill.

Ordinary people grew attached to pets they kept for a long time and treated them as family, let alone these Half-Life Worms that had accompanied him for so many years.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, Reina Star people would never bring such things out to take risks.

Once they did, it meant they were in mortal danger.

For Kirsailting now, it was indeed a moment of mortal danger!

Kunzuo, who had been charging forward fiercely, immediately stopped.

Even though he was a peak expert, he had to be very careful when facing the Reina Star peopleʼs Half-Life Worms; after all, these were the Half-Life Worms of a peer-level expert, and their attack power could not be underestimated.

Kunzuo stopped, and Kirsailting turned his body around. The Half-Life Worms could buy him at least ten seconds, and that time was enough for him to kill these two overconfident wretches.

In Kirsailtingʼs view, they were truly overconfident.

Although he had been fleeing while holding Delma earlier, and thus had been negligent of his surroundings and failed to detect these two little things in time, allowing them to get the first move, that did not mean that two assassins who were not even great experts could stop him or even injure him.

They were not qualified, even when facing a severely wounded Kirsailting.

At this point, those who could pose a certain threat to Kirsailting had to be at least at the great-expert level.

A bright moon descended from the sky without warning, hanging over the heads of Kirsailting and Delma. As it sank, it transformed into piercing killing intent.

”Hmph.” Kirsailting did not even speak, only let out a cold snort, glanced casually, and neutralized the moonlight kill on his side. As for Delmaʼs side, he did not bother with it at all, because the prince could definitely handle it himself, and he was happy to save energy.

In fact, the princeʼs injuries were not as severe as Kirsailtingʼs.

Sure enough, Delma raised his weapon and shattered that patch of light directly. Not only that, he made a gesture, and a giant fist shadow appeared beside Master Yan, who was hidden in the darkness and moving at high speed, as if he had actively collided with it. It struck him in an instant, and the Star-Eye Clan leaderʼs body lost balance, spitting blood as he fell to the side, with all the armor on his body shattered.

Delma cast a contemptuous glance and did not bother with him further, because he might be pulled away by Kirsailting at any moment to continue fleeing.

This series of attacks and defenses actually happened in an instant, perhaps not even three seconds.

But Lady Starʼs condition at this moment was extremely bad.

The ability Kirsailting had used was not an exclusive ability of the Reina Star people, but a skill that many races could master: ”Spirit Void External Nurturing Technique.”

Its greatest characteristic was that it could absorb the opponentʼs energy for temporary use by the user.

The other party permanently lost it, while the recipient used it temporarily, after which that energy would dissipate. It could be said to be a rather insidious move that harmed others for short-term self-benefit, but because this ability could only work on those with a significant gap in strength compared to the user, no one among the myriad races of the universe had raised any objections.

After all, when strength was vastly unequal, the dominant side did many things far more cruel than this ability that drained your energy and turned you into a dried corpse, so whether to ban it or not truly did not matter.

It was precisely because he recognized this ability that Master Yan changed his harassment strategy and went for a full-force strike.

He could not just watch his wife die like that.

But the gap in strength was too vast! So vast that Lady Star was controlled in an instant, and Lord Eye was sent flying with a single blow.

On Lady Star’s side, even with her mask on, Lord Eye, who knew her so intimately, understood that his wife must be aging at an alarming rate; those light spots precipitating from her body were her very life. Once all those light spots transferred to Kirsailtingʼs body, Lady Star would be beyond saving.

Lord Eyeʼs whole body seemed to ignite.

He was actually in a great deal of pain, especially severe pain. He had not sensed the appearance of that fist at all, so the damage inflicted on him was compounded by the speed of his movement and the force of the fistʼs attack.

With such injuries, Lord Eye might still be able to move, but certainly not within just a few seconds.

But could he just watch Lady Star die?!

In Lord Eyeʼs mind, many images surfaced—images that would blur if deliberately recalled, but at this moment were extraordinarily clear—all of them moments they had spent together.

Lord Eye thus had only one thought... get up and save her.

Belief. It sounded ethereal, but it could not be denied that it truly existed, and at times, it could unleash tremendous power.

Inside Lord Eyeʼs trembling body, a new surge of strength suddenly appeared, instantly greatly improving his injuries, and it seemed as if something inside him had shattered.

Behind him, in the dark sky, a gigantic phantom appeared. A Star-Eye Clan member wearing a mask, standing casually. Only when those eyes opened did they reveal a boundless murderous intent.
