Chapter 539: Concerted Effort
And Gao Yang could guess that the little abomination wasn’t going to just die.
He teleported to the body part nearest to him and hit it with Fire without hesitation. Although his energy stuttered, he still managed to use his Talent.
Boom! An unstable small pillar of fire rose. The body part of a thigh and a quarter of abdomen writhed like a loach struggling on a frying pan.
Usually, Gao Yang should’ve heard the scream of the little abomination and the crackle of the burning fire, and the sounds were objectively there. But he couldn’t hear them within the crimson force field, his hearing already monopolized by the gurgling white noise.
As expected of an abomination born from a life monster. Fire that could evaporate flesh and bone in a second failed to melt the body part even after three seconds.
The body part still managed to break out of the fire, flying toward the other three body parts.
The little abomination reassembled, only its right thigh and abdomen were seriously burned like red wax distorted by high heat.
War Tiger raised his blade and charged.
The little abomination bent its slim legs and leapt into the air, dodging War Tiger’s horizontal slash.
Gao Yang, despite being calmer than anyone here, was a little surprised. The little abomination had only come to this world for less than thirty seconds, yet it had already evolved from a crawling infant to a being who could walk, run, and jump.
It was growing up!
Indeed, he heard the system warning.
[Warning, Luck acquisition rate increases to 9000 times!]
The little abomination had jumped high into the air, not yet landing.
His slash missing, War Tiger leapt with both feet without hesitation, flying toward the little abomination midair with fierce blade aura like a blue marble.
Midair, the little abomination immediately tucked its arms and legs inward to curl itself into a ball. At the same time, the crimson force field around it contracted instantly and morphed into a strange eerie red amber of thick, viscous substance, enveloping it.
A moment later, War Tiger’s Green Dog Demon Blade stabbed at the little abomination, but it distorted the moment the blade approached the red amber.
The momentum was offset, and the blade aura gone. Even War Tiger’s weapon and arm distorted like rippling reflection on a lake.
War Tiger started. He had an ominous feeling about it.
Whoosh.
Gao Yang teleported to War Tiger at max distance and barely managed to push him away hard. Rumble.
A short 0.3 seconds later, the red amber doubled in size and swallowed Gao Yang.The melting effect tripled in force. Gao Yang felt lightheaded. All he could hear was a chorus of gurgling. His body, especially his limbs, lost their shapes like ribbons flying in the wind. Then he felt a dull pain in his chest, which fluctuated every second like an electric current with bad contact.
War Tiger made a safe landing and looked up. Gao Yang, who had been devoured by the red amber, was pierced in the chest by the red blade the little abomination’s arm had morphed into.
War Tiger hissed. The abomination was learning and evolving nonstop! The longer the fight dragged on, the lower their chance of winning!
He wasn’t too worried about Gao Yang. His disciple wasn’t going to die so easily.
Two seconds later, the Gao Yang that got stabbed evaporated, while the real Gao Yang had already seized the chance to move to Gray Bear’s side, injecting the wound on Gray Bear’s abdomen with Medicine C.
It had no effect, however. Gray Bear’s body was already stiff, and his heart had stopped beating—the little abomination’s attack came with a lethal curse, and the mere contact could kill!
With Psychic Armor shielding his mind, Gao Yang felt no pain. He could only wish for Dr. Jia’s resurrection pill to have an effect.
In theory, Talent: Feigned Death should apply to all types of damage. As long as the brain and heart weren’t severely damaged, it should allow one to come back to life within a certain time.
“Gray Bear’s gone!” Gao Yang seized the chance to shout when the crimson force field was pulled back, thus allowing sounds to be heard again.
Everyone grasped what he meant.
They must not allow a direct hit from the little abomination to land, or they would die.
Meanwhile, what seemed like confusion appeared on the little abomination’s red face despite having no proper facial features.
It didn’t know what Double was, but as a killing machine, it quickly recorded what had happened and, in a manager of speaking, input it into its battle system.
Rumble.
The little abomination hovering midair extended its limbs, and the strange crimson force field extended again, spreading across the entire court.
The passive effect of making everything seem melty returned, and they all moved like rubber men again, their hearing obstructed by gurgling.
Two Black Gold darts and two flying knives shot toward the little abomination from different directions, aiming for its eyes and head.
The force field, however, distorted their trajectories, and the weapons ended up hitting the little abomination’s shoulder and chest.
Black Gold weapons seemed to be its natural bane. While the darts and flying knives hadn’t inflicted proper damage, they had a paralyzing effect.
The little abomination shuddered and went into free fall.
Mid fall, the four Black Gold weapons were spit out of the little abomination’s body, and it quickly regained control over himself. A second before it would hit the ground, it made a front flip and stopped half a meter above ground.
“Die!”
Lithe Snake made an imperfect jump under the influence of the crimson force field, plunging toward the little abomination and thrusting the Black Gold shortsword in his hand at its head.
The little abomination quickly lifted its left hand, morphing it into a red longsword to pierce at Lithe Snake.
Lithe Snake had foreseen it. He raised his left hand to block it, and the red longsword pierced through his forearm. It was about to inflict a quintupled melting curse to distort Lithe Snake’s blood, flesh, bones, and internal organs. Then he would die just like Gray Bear.
Without giving the curse time to come into effect, Lithe Snake swung his shortsword without hesitation to cut off his entire arm.
Whoosh.
Gao Yang had figured out Lithe Snake’s plan beforehand since it wasn’t his first time seeing the move. As soon as Lithe Snake cut off his arm, Gao Yang teleported Lithe Snake away from the little abomination.
“Self-Detonate!”
Lithe Snake yelled.
