The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 261 - 149: Thousands of Changes, Enlightenment Frog_4

The dense white bandages swirled like a vine whip.

The Doomsday Messenger, leaning on his crutch, staggered towards his target.

Each time the crutch struck the ground, it felt as if a blow had landed on Wang Xinfei’s chest, accompanied by an uncomfortable prickling sensation.

"Kui Kui! Dodge!"

"Kui kui!"

The armored horse abandoned its assault and changed course to a sprint.

The Doomsday Messenger relentlessly pursued. The seemingly funny movements concealed a horrifyingly aggressive force. Wang Xinfei dared not let her guard down and frequently looked back to check its movements.

"Argh! Die! Die! Die!"

Failing to catch the armored horse in a short span of time, the madness and fury of the Doomsday Messenger intensified.

The white bandages continuously extended, like a spider’s web aiming to constrict the armored horse’s freedom of movement.

Eventually, after fifteen minutes of pursuit, the armored horse was entangled by the Doomsday Messenger.

With a strong pull on the bandages, the Doomsday Messenger was dragged towards the armored horse, his half-decayed crutch being raised threateningly towards the horse’s head.

"Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!"

In that instant, sparks flew.

Despite the continuous "Staff Strikes", the armored horse’s hard scales remained unscathed.

But, this was just the beginning. Enraged, the Doomsday Messenger may not match the super explosive power of "Giving Thanks," but, its anger made it a super lunatic in perfect form.

"Kui kui!"

The armored horse screamed and struggled.

Wang Xinfei, riding on the armored horse, took her Long Spear and, in desperation, aimed for the Doomsday Messenger’s shoulder.

She succeeded. A hole spurted blood as the Doomsday Messenger started bleeding again.

"Too light! Too light! Too light!"

"Die! Die! Die!"

Mo was unappreciative.

Now, only killing intent radiated from it. It couldn’t calm its fury until the useless trash in its sight was eliminated.

"Thump Thump Thump——"

Three consecutive stabbings, three bloody holes.

The Doomsday Messenger didn’t bother defending. Instead, it tightened its grip on the bandages, half of its body hanging onto the armored horse, making it impossible to shake off its entanglement regardless of how much the horse galloped.

"Thump!"

In the heat of the moment, Wang Xinfei pierced through the head of the Doomsday Messenger with her spear.

What should’ve been a fatal injury, however, only caused it to falter momentarily.

Wang Xinfei was taken aback. Noticing the white bandages worming its way towards her, she realized if she delayed any longer, she would lose her chance.

All her spear thrusts were aimed at potential weak spots, like the brain and the heart, hoping to find the Messenger’s Achilles’ heel.

"Thump Thump Thump Thump Thump——"

Unfortunately, the true weakness of the Doomsday Messenger lay elsewhere.

Even if its head was severed, it could continue fighting.

Only when its entire body was rendered completely useless, and its state teetered on the verge of death, could the battle finally cease.

"Pain! Intense pain! Finally, I feel pain!"

Continuous piercing attacks gradually weakened the Doomsday Messenger’s fury.

Having accumulated enough power for "Giving Thanks", it grinned ferociously and triggered an outburst.

"Let me thank you properly... this is real pain!"

"Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!!"

The crutch smashed into the waist of the armored horse, making it lose its balance and eventually fall to the ground.

"Boom! Boom boom boom!"

The crutch hammered down on Wang Xinfei’s armor. It held up for five strikes, but on the sixth, cracks appeared and the Energy Armor was on the verge of shattering.

Instinctively, she used her Ejection Shield to block.

However, this shield, while functional, didn’t possess robust defensive capabilities. After assisting in blocking three times, it shattered into energy fragments and dissolved into the air.

"Bang bang bang!"

Eventually, the reinforced Protective Armor shattered completely.

But, before the battle began, as per Lord Han’s instructions, Wang Xinfei had donned the advanced Close-fitting armor.

That armor set efficiently withstood the frenzied "Staff Strikes" even though both horse and rider appeared in a pitiful state, bound by bandages and left to bear the onslaught.

"About time..."

Lord Han, ready to step in at any moment, discerned that Mo’s "Giving Thanks" had ended and that the battle, essentially, was over.

Wang Xinfei had undeniably lost.

However, she and the armored horse, relying on their remarkable defensive skills, had managed to withstand the incomplete outburst of the Doomsday Messenger, which was an impressive achievement in itself.
