Apocalypse Gachapon Chapter 2229: Forced kill
Previously on Apocalypse Gachapon...
The Mechanical Prodigy's bombardment covered Little Ninth Brother. At the same time Wen Hong died, her companion also suffered a fatal attack.
But after the light dissipated, Little Ninth Brother's battered body was revealed, but he was not dead.
Those wounds were healing at an astonishing speed.
Everyone knew Little Ninth Brother's weakness very well: he could control parasites, but his own offensive and defensive capabilities were relatively weak.
But they had not expected his recovery ability to be so monstrous.
In just a few seconds, he was as good as new.
They had thought that Wen Hong's death meant the end of the battle, but now it seemed that was not the case.
"Unless you can kill all the parasites here, I will not die."
Little Ninth Brother merely glanced at the dead Wen Hong, showing no sorrow for his companion's departure.
He was certain to win, so he would be freed. Whether his companion lived or died did not matter much.Now, Wen Hong was dead, and only Little Ninth Brother remained as the target. But on their side, the Mechanical Prodigy and the little girl were both out of combat, White Robe was down and his condition was temporarily unknown, White Dragon Horse was injured and it was unclear to what extent its combat effectiveness remained, Jie Su was struggling to control the parasites in the surrounding caves, and Ye Zhongming could not use his transformation.
Neither side was at full strength; both had a chance.
"Nonsense." Ye Zhongming did not believe it. He suddenly raised his hand toward Little Ninth Brother, and with a thud, a star token landed in front of him. A ray burst out from it and directly blasted off one of the nine heads.
At the same time, the Earth Spirit's gravity control was fully activated. Ye Zhongming teleported beside Little Ninth Brother and slashed with both hands, cutting off another four heads.
White Robe had been injured and was on the ground; Wen Hong's attacks were no joke, and all his protective gear was shattered. Seeing Ye Zhongming launch the attack, he endured the pain and his last bit of strength, sliding his body across the ground a short distance. While moving away from Little Ninth Brother, he threw the two daggers in his hands, accurately piercing the two heads around Little Ninth Brother.
In an instant, seven of Little Ninth Brother's heads were destroyed.
White Dragon Horse paused for a moment to recover from the fierce battle just now. Instead of charging in like it had against Wen Hong, it uttered a series of dragon words from its mouth.
Little Ninth Brother came under heavy assault. His own head suddenly retracted into his body. Besides his terrifying healing ability, he also possessed a terrifying regeneration ability. The heads that Ye Zhongming and the others had cut off almost instantly grew back.
After that, he continuously sprayed various kinds of poison gas, liquids, orbs of light, bones, and even tiny parasites outward.
Beneath Little Ninth Brother's body, a giant hand gripped his form. Before he could react, the entire cave behind him collapsed, pressing down on his body.
Little Ninth Brother let out a miserable scream.
Several of the things he had spat out struck Ye Zhongming, sending the Cloud Peak King flying outward. The layers of black armor on his body shattered and reappeared continuously. When he fell to the ground, his face turned pale, and blood flowed from both his nose and mouth.
"You can control parasites, but you cannot control the mountain." Ye Zhongming laughed. "But I can."
At this moment, White Dragon Horse's dragon words ended. It stood in place and made a hugging gesture toward Little Ninth Brother, and a small phantom of a Traitor Dragon Clan member landed beside Little Ninth Brother.
The little dragon was very tiny, roughly the size of a fifty-inch television. But after it appeared, it 'kissed' Little Ninth Brother.
Its mouth suddenly grew wide just before it was about to reach the target, swallowing Little Ninth Brother in one bite.
It was a very strange feeling.
Little Ninth Brother's originally rather large body shrank considerably and fell into the belly of the dragon phantom. One could see Little Ninth Brother struggling violently inside. He was still attacking; the nine heads had recovered and were spewing various abilities, while his own head was roaring, but the people outside could not hear anything.
White Dragon Horse slowly drew the phantom in front of it, took a look, then opened its mouth and spat a puff of pure white dragon breath over it. After that, the entire phantom turned into a resplendent crystal statue.
The next second, White Dragon Horse mercilessly stepped on it.
"The trial is over. Please return."
As the crystal statue under White Dragon Horse's foot was crushed, the notification sounded immediately.
Everyone collectively breathed a sigh of relief. White Dragon Horse even sprawled on the ground.
Over there, Jie Su also stopped his attack because the parasites had already disappeared.
Killing Little Ninth Brother seemed simple, but everyone felt a lingering fear. One miscalculation or a failure to achieve the desired effect would have meant they would have perished here today.
Their judgment of Little Ninth Brother's terrifying recovery ability was that it originated from his connection to an unknown number of parasites, and that this connection was mostly through the cave behind him.
Of course, this speculation also had another basis: earlier, Little Ninth Brother had gone to the mountain's interior in that state. If his body could move, he probably would not have gone over with only half his body like a worm.
Cutting off that connection should cut off most of his abilities.
Little Ninth Brother had not been afraid at all before, probably because he had never imagined that such a solid mountain could suddenly collapse.
Later, Ye Zhongming used Life-Severing Grip to stabilize Little Ninth Brother's body, preventing him from dodging White Dragon Horse's ultimate ability, Dragon Kiss. He was swallowed into the ability and finally stomped to death.
The process was simple to describe, but in that short span of dozens of seconds to finish the battle, everything had to be extremely precise. One mistake, and they might have had to stay here for countless years.
"Let's go, back to the mountain's interior. We'll teleport over." Jie Su was now very anxious about his clansmen. After seeing Ye Zhongming, White Robe, and the others rest for a while and recover some of their condition, he spoke.
He had already used the formation just now to place the little girl in ice, which was to counteract the side effects of the drug this little girl had taken.
She had consumed a drug that Ferrosians could obtain at birth. When their life was in danger, they could take it to gain the effect of knocking everything away for a short period.
This so-called 'Pervasive Pill' was very precious and would basically not be available again. Yet the little girl had used it without hesitation just now, creating the opportunity for everyone to kill the two monsters.
Ye Zhongming was about to instruct the Mechanical Prodigy to return to the camp and inform everyone, when he suddenly noticed that Wen Hong, who should have died, had actually stood up!
"Don't be afraid!"
The Mechanical Prodigy suddenly said, "That's under my control."
Only then did everyone see clearly that Wen Hong's flesh was now gone, and her entire body was composed of metal.
The little boy struggled to stand up, wobbled over to the metal Wen Hong, and somehow vanished into it. In the next moment, Mechanical Wen Hong opened her eyes, which were two empty black holes inside.
"This new mount is quite good." The little boy's voice had changed somewhat, high-pitched with delight.
Jie Su and the others exchanged bewildered glances. They sensed that this little one's Furelai seemed to have suddenly increased considerably!
