Deng Shentong and Amber found themselves trapped in Wandering Phantom's mouth. Despite the dire situation and Wandering Phantom's bizarre affection, Deng Shentong vowed to survive and protect Amber. As missiles rained down, Deng Shentong used the distraction to fight back, but the watery depths of the swamp and Wandering Phantom's defenses proved challenging. Reflecting on his purpose, Deng Shentong found motivation in protecting Amber, and a kiss from her unlocked a surge of power, allowing him to escape Wandering Phantom's grasp and retaliate.

BOOM!!!!!!

A massive cruise missile slammed down, directly covering the area where Wandering Phantom was!

The shockwave from the violent explosion blasted a huge crater in the middle of Ice Flower Swamp, blinding yellow flames engulfing Wandering Phantom's body.

Deng Shentong had already fled to the distance with Amber.

Amber stared at him in shock. "Huh? That actually worked?"

Deng Shentong looked down at the fair-skinned girl and smiled slightly. "Actually, my family is pretty wealthy."

"And by the way, that missile was made by our own company."

He rubbed his fingers together. "Just a small family business."

Amber's eyes went wide, and for a moment, she didn't know what to say.

But soon, Wandering Phantom's roar came from the distance.

One cruise missile wasn't enough to kill him.

He was the type who wished he could wrap himself in thick armor—his layers of skin and full skeletal defense allowed him to withstand a cruise missile capable of destroying several streets.

He charged out of the explosion's center, heading straight for Deng Shentong and Amber.

But his condition wasn't great either.

Even a Transcendent was ultimately still a carbon-based lifeform, not an indestructible body of diamond.

His skin was cracked, his entire body drenched in blood, and his appearance as he lunged forward was bloody and savage.

Feeling his newly acquired power, Deng Shentong strode forward with his sword and assumed a fencing stance.

The power of holy light gathered at the tip of his sword, gradually forming a silver four-pointed star.

"Concentrate the power of penetration into a single point to unleash the strongest single-target attack!"

"Now, can my power still pierce through your body?"

Deng Shentong muttered to himself, then thrust his sword toward Wandering Phantom.

The sword struck with a sharp angle, winning through speed.

His sword moved too fast—all that could be seen was a streak of silver holy light turning into a beam, instantly appearing between him and Wandering Phantom.

"Pfft!"

The silver four-pointed star exploded on Wandering Phantom's head, finally piercing the Giant Crocodile's unbreakable defense!

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

"Amber, how dare you lend your power to him! This is unforgivable betrayal—you belong to me!"

Wandering Phantom was enraged. Though this sword strike had pierced his head, his massive size allowed him to avoid a fatal hit.

"Thud!"

His enormous body leaped high into the air and crashed down toward Deng Shentong, his blood-red maw wide open like a giant clamp!

The crocodile's bite was its most powerful weapon.

"She's not your property!"

Deng Shentong showed no fear in the face of the giant monster. He dodged the Giant Crocodile's falling attack and thrust his sword into its soft belly!

Wandering Phantom's abdomen was pierced, and blood gushed out like a fountain.

He quickly whipped his tail—the strike was incredibly fast, and Deng Shentong had no time to dodge.

But as the tail swept across, strangely, Deng Shentong disappeared the moment it landed.

"This feeling is amazing—my senses, speed, and power have all been greatly enhanced!"

"It's like the shackles in my body have been completely broken. Is this her ability?"

Deng Shentong glanced at Amber in the distance and suddenly understood.

"ROAR!!"

Wandering Phantom opened his massive jaws and spat a red energy beam in Deng Shentong's direction!

This time, he missed again.

Wandering Phantom finally realized something was wrong.

"This guy... what's going on?"

"Even with incredible speed, he couldn't possibly dodge my attacks time and time again without me even sensing his movements."

Bewildered, he carefully observed his surroundings.

Finally, relying on his keen perception of supernatural powers, he discovered the problem.

At some point, dozens of white mirrors, each the size of a person, had appeared in the space around him.

Every time he attacked Deng Shentong, Deng Shentong would vanish from one spot and appear at another mirror's location.

"Is this space-related supernatural powers?"

Wandering Phantom roared deeply, his voice filled with caution.

"It's not what you think!"

Deng Shentong held his longsword and smiled.

"My power is light! The speed of light is the benchmark of this universe, the yardstick for measuring all things!"

His sword slowly rotated as an even brighter four-pointed star condensed at its tip.

"Though I can't truly become light, within the mirror zone, I can teleport!"

Saying this, he added with a hint of pride.

"Even that guy can't move with zero time delay."

The moment his words fell, the sword light flared, striking down at Wandering Phantom from the sky!

Wandering Phantom gritted his teeth and swiftly shifted his massive body across the ice, dodging the terrifying blow!

But the next instant, a four-pointed star suddenly exploded from beneath his soft underbelly, piercing through his chest and abdomen!

"Crack—"

His body gravely wounded, Wandering Phantom spat out a large pool of blood.

"What... is this?"

He was completely baffled. He had clearly dodged Deng Shentong's attack. So why had he still been hit?

He looked down beneath him.

There was a smooth sheet of ice, shining like a bright mirror.

"Mirrors can perfectly reflect light, including the energy it carries."

"Within my mirror zone, I don't need to aim my sword at you. I just leave an imprint and control the trajectory, and I can launch an attack that covers the entire area! It won't stop until it hits the target, and it can't be dodged!"

"The name of this move... I call it [Heavenly Etching]!"

Wandering Phantom's enormous body was severed, looking incredibly horrific because this blow was fatal.

But even though Deng Shentong's attack had stopped, other attacks hadn't.

For instance, the Snowland Iron Wolf war vehicle was continuously launching missiles at his body from a distance.

"AAAAHHH!!!"

The searing pain forced Wandering Phantom to revert to his human form.

His entire waist was nearly severed, and no matter how he tried to press his hands against the wound, blood gushed out in streams.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it!!"

He stared fiercely at Deng Shentong, especially when he looked at Amber—the hatred was even more pronounced.

He reached out toward Amber, his hand like an eagle's claw, trying to grip her firmly in his palm.

"Amber, you're mine! Why did you betray me? Wasn't I good to you when we were together?"

"Shut up!!"

Amber screamed with all her might.

She glared at Wandering Phantom with hatred, clenched her fists, and finally let out all the emotions inside her.

"From the very first day I met you, I've been wishing you were dead!"

Deng Shentong made no comment on the matter between them.

Sometimes, staying silent was the best respect for others.

He raised his sword, and one by one, light mirrors appeared in midair, surrounding Wandering Phantom.

"Sacred power of radiance, engrave the sky! Judgment!"

The silver four-pointed star blazed across the sky! This time, it completely took Wandering Phantom's life.
