Chapter 143: Almost Blown Up

Kamiyu’s Octahedral Crystal absorbed the power of faith, enhanced by the Heavenly Father’s Buff. On her body, a temporary pair of platinum light wings, identical to the Heavenly Father’s, appeared, allowing her to fly freely in the sky.

Her Magic Bullet skill could unleash a high-powered Phase Energy Cannon, and under the core skill of Sound of Chaos, which amplified skills by “7 times,” she transformed into the “Freedom” Gundam.

Kamiyu immediately turned up the pressure on Lei Yao. With her back to the dark sky, she fired a full-power 540x attack from above, aimed directly at Lei Yao’s head.

The blast instantly carved a massive crater into the ground, and the intense heat of the Phase Energy Cannon turned the crystallized earth into debris once again.

Just as everyone saw hope and began cheering for Kamiyu, a player who had earlier been the first to surrender and drop his weapon spoke up: “You’re being hypocritical. Lei Yao can absorb skills and convert them into Health.

She clearly stopped us from using skills on Lei Yao earlier, so why is she using a skill on him now?

Isn’t she just feeding him Health? And giving him such a huge amount of energy—she doesn’t know how to play and is just messing around.”

Some were convinced by his words.

“What he says makes sense. We all saw earlier that Lei Yao can indeed absorb skills and convert them into his Health Bar,” a Solo Player agreed.

“Are the two of them colluding?” a wavering player frowned.

“Colluding and still fighting to the death? Use your brain,” another player immediately retorted.

Just as Lei Yao and the priest player from the Holy Light Church were about to speak up in rebuttal, a Club player said: “What do you all know? Have you watched the LZ Z Android Saga?

Android 19, that white fat guy, could absorb energy, right? But wasn’t he still blown up by Prince Super Saiyan’s energy?”

This one statement silenced those who were about to waver again.

The power of Kamiyu’s Octahedral Crystal came from faith. If the power of faith was insufficient, or if someone doubted Kamiyu, the converted Sacred Power would be inadequate.

Kamiyu noticed that her DPS output had just dropped by 30%, startling her into wanting to draw a second weapon, the Demon-Repelling Holy Flame, to supplement her damage.

Yes, it was that much of a Bug—Magic Bullet was both a skill and an Item.

As long as she had a weapon, specifically a Staff, she could activate the Magic Bullet skill, but the user had to be from the Mage Class, and the Attack Power was also tied to the user’s own attributes.

So theoretically, Kamiyu could use up to four weapons at once to fire the Magic Bullet skill—if she wasn’t too shy to use her feet to fire a Staff with a gun Skin.

“Exactly, these people don’t understand. I’m using the moneybags Playstyle, the Prince Playstyle. I still have over ten thousand Triple Attributes Magic Bullets, and Magic Bullets have no Cooldown. I’ll just overwhelm him with skills.”

“So what if you can Lifesteal? I’ve already calculated your Health Bar. Just a normal ‘single-concentration’ Phase Energy Cannon can melt one piece of your Legendary Armor and shave off 40% of your Health.”

“Right now I’m at ‘7x concentration,’ so I should be giving you a 7-color cannon blast. In theory, it should blast you into blue light right away, but even if you lifesteal, it doesn’t matter—I’m targeting your armor.” Kamiyu thought to herself with delight.

In reality, Lei Yao couldn’t block her first strike at all. He relied on his armor to withstand the initial hit, then raised the Dark Gold Longsword Doombringer to absorb health.

In fact, she had already melted his armor first, deducting 40% of his health before he even had time to react and use Doombringer to lifesteal.

That meant no matter how much health Lei Yao absorbed, once he had no armor, he would be like fish on a chopping block—he would never be able to block her first strike.

Then, by adjusting the firing speed of her skill to act like a quickdraw, she could stop shooting before Lei Yao had time to lifesteal, denying him the chance to heal.

She could flit around like a mosquito, stinging here and there, leaving Lei Yao covered in bumps—though the analogy wasn’t very elegant.

“This tactic is invincible—just target his armor and see who has deeper reserves.” Kamiyu chuckled happily.

Time rewound to the moment when Kamiyu’s 7x concentration Super-Phase Energy Cannon struck Lei Yao.

All five pieces of his Legendary Armor were instantly melted and vaporized.

Helmet, cuirass, gauntlets, pants, cape—a single strike melted all five pieces of Legendary Armor. This terrifying pressure felt even more exaggerated to Lei Yao than seeing Mephisto in person.

“I can’t breathe.” Lei Yao gasped for air.

“But as long as my boots didn’t drop, I can pull through.” The overwhelming pressure forced Lei Yao to his knees. With all his strength, he raised the longsword in his hands, holding Doombringer horizontally, positioning the blade toward the energy pillar in the sky as if offering the sword.

Lei Yao used Doombringer’s core skill, the Water-Calling Sword Style, to lifesteal and replenish his health bar.

His health bar soared rapidly—one bar, two bars—whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—jumping all the way to 100 bars.

After all, he was a Level 40 player, not like those ordinary Level 10 or 20 players.

However, this good fortune came at a cost. The Dark Gold Sword’s durability was plummeting, dropping by 50, 50, quickly falling below 100.

If this continued, it would shatter.

This infuriated Mephisto, who was in the Cliff Sanctuary on a distant cliff, devouring the remaining players raw. He dropped the flesh and blood from his mouth, fixing his crimson, hate-filled eyes on Lei Yao.

“My Doombringer isn’t meant to be used like this, you waste!” Mephisto roared furiously.

A voice, transmitted through his control over Doombringer, echoed in Lei Yao’s mind.

“Stop lifestealing! Hurry and let my Doombringer replenish its durability!” Mephisto exclaimed with rare urgency and anger.

The Hell Army around the Cliff Sanctuary cowered in fear at his rage, prostrating themselves on the ground and begging for mercy.

Mephisto’s Doombringer was the supreme Ancestral Dark Gold Weapon in the Crimson Earth. Even though it had fallen in rank after its master’s death, it had only dropped to the Dark Gold Tier.

However, dropping to the Dark Gold Tier meant it could be damaged, because aside from Ancestral Dark Gold Equipment, all equipment tiers had durability and could potentially be destroyed.

Lei Yao snapped out of the euphoric sensation of watching his Health Bar rise and immediately realized something was wrong—the Doombringer had almost been blasted apart by Kamiyu’s single shot.

He instantly switched the target of his Core Skill, converting the absorbed energy into Durability.

But this addition and subtraction, this advance and retreat, meant Lei Yao was now exposed under Kamiyu’s holy beam energy cannon.

Kamiyu’s energy cannon was so wide it could engulf both a person and their Weapon.

The energy cannon swiftly wiped away the Health Bar Lei Yao had just replenished, rapidly draining it once more.
