Chapter 990 - 860: Captured Alive
The enemy wouldn’t just stand by and watch Kane complete his transformation, even if it happened at lightning speed.
He had already dashed quickly under attack to Kane’s front, with an unusual dagger in hand, thrusting straight ahead.
Fzzzzz!
A sound of burning intense heat emerged, thin wisps of white smoke drifting out.
Excessive heat was transmitted through the dagger to the attacker’s hand.
The attacker immediately withdrew the dagger.
Where he pierced, a lava-like hole appeared, and then slowly closed up.
The recent close combat attack left burns on his exposed shoulder and hand.
His palm was directly punctured by the dagger attack, leaving a scar due to the burn.
The Changeling bowed his head, fixed his gaze on the enemy, and a magma-like beam shot out of his solitary eye.
He dodged the incoming attacks with a few backflips, putting some distance between himself and Kane’s Changeling.
He was now caught in a dilemma.
The enemy locked the surrounding space at the cost of being unable to flash themselves.
This caused all skills related to space within the area to become unusable.
This was akin to losing an arm, and yet his powerful attacks couldn’t penetrate the enemy’s hard shell.
Now, with the intense heat, any attempt to attack would only result in considerable damage.
His eyes involuntarily glanced at the edge of the sphere.
The material of the sphere sealing this area seemed to be the same as the hexagonal shield used by the enemy to block him earlier.
He could easily break through it; once out of the sphere, he could use spatial skills and wouldn’t be so passive in the battle.
Having figured this out, he wasted no time.
Immediately, he summoned a dense array of purple conical lightning around him, using such a skill for the first time in the battle.
These lightning bolts were immensely powerful, instantly destroying the Floating Cannons that Kane had placed around.
The remaining lightning bolts all poured towards Kane’s location.
At that moment, his figure flickered rapidly.
His entire silhouette dashed towards the edge of the light curtain like a bolt of lightning.
Once torn open, he could leave this space-locked area.
Whether he chose to continue attacking or leave at any time, he’d be unrestricted.
Not stuck in a dilemma like now.
During the dash, his eyes glanced to the side, watching Kane’s direction.
Checking the enemy’s response.
Suddenly, his eyes widened with rage as Kane, who should have been delayed in place momentarily by him, was gone.
He swiftly turned his head and discovered the Changeling, aflame, already appearing in front of him.
It’s surrounded by intense magic power waves emitted by powerful magic.
Whether it’s due to this rapid movement causing mechanical failure, the Changeling’s posture seemed visibly awkward.
He was trying hard to correct his posture.
Witnessing the defenseless center.
An opportunity.
The attacker already knew the difficulty of breaking through the light curtain and leaving had skyrocketed.
Getting out wouldn’t be that easy; the enemy wasn’t a fool.
But now, such an opportunity was exceptionally rare.
There wasn’t much time left for him to ponder.
After this bout of combat, he realized the enemy’s main body probably wasn’t that strong.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been fighting him while encased and mostly using ranged attack methods to harass him.
Such an opportunity would soon vanish.
No more thinking or waiting.
In an instant, the dagger in his hand was enveloped in a dark green glow, extending into a meter-or-two-long blade.
Only this way could he penetrate the entire mecha and deal sufficient damage to Kane inside.
His entire figure was lightning-fast, seemingly teleporting onto the Changeling’s chest.
Intense heat was searing his body.
But the marks of burns didn’t make him feel excessive pain.
A bloodthirsty grin appeared on his face, as the long blade in his hand was fiercely driven inside.
From seeing to charging onto the mecha’s chest and brutally thrusting in the weapon in his hand—the consideration and action combined took less than two seconds.
Finally, midway through the thrust, he felt the sound of penetrating flesh.
"Hahaha!"
He couldn’t help but laugh, the sensation clearly told him he had hit the enemy.
The distinct feeling of impacting flesh made his whole soul tremble.
Soul’s poison would ruthlessly torment him to death, too bad he couldn’t see.
He abandoned the weapon directly, wanting to quickly leave and headed towards the light curtain to break through elegantly.
As for those two teammates who followed him? It didn’t matter anymore.
Dead was dead.
They weren’t true teammates anyway.
Just as he was acting in such a manner.
A voice came from behind him.
"What are you so happy about?"
Kane stood smiling behind him.
Run!
The attacker’s eyes glared angrily, but his brain didn’t stall, and he immediately wanted to leave the place.
The reason for this situation and its current state didn’t matter now.
His instinct told him running was the best option.
However, at this moment, the Changeling’s movements were exceptionally swift, rapidly encroaching the center.
It had been waiting a long time for this very moment.
The scorching body and mechanical structure rapidly transformed, becoming a stable sphere in less than a second, enveloping the enemy within.
"Boom!"
A sound of explosion came from Kane’s mouth.
"Boom!"
An even bigger explosion followed, this one real.
The mechanical sphere encasing the enemy exploded instantly.
Staggering heat spread around, as the center of the explosion turned into a spherical fireball, like a sun appearing right before them.
Even the surrounding white mist was instantly dispelled.
Using a mecha as a bomb always seemed to yield good results against new enemies.
Kane particularly enjoyed this method of attack.
Outside the sealed sphere, Kreya and the others had already appeared, having dealt with their respective enemies.
This time, Longbei remained in Area 42, and Kreya, Meizike, and Lilu had come for support.
An entrance in the sphere opened quickly, allowing them to rush in.
They immediately attacked the two bizarre-looking enemies, who were slowed by the Pyramid Floating Cannon.
Incredible heat rushed toward them from the distance.
However, they were quite far away, and that sun-like fireball was the hottest spot, with the explosive energy being concentrated rather than dispersed.
Despite such staggering heat, the enemy did not perish.
They weren’t even significantly attacked.
In the instant the explosion impacted the stability of the surrounding space, he paused within the spatial seam. Although still visible, he was invulnerable to external harm unless the explosion could shatter space.
Clearly, this fireball possessed destructive power, but it wasn’t sufficient to shatter space, especially as this area was already locked down.
Having dodged the first wave of strong energy from the explosion, although he was still enveloped in overwhelming heat, if he could quickly break out by risking injury, he could penetrate space and escape.
He stopped contemplating killing the enemy.
Being able to escape alive was his greatest victory now.
Behind him.
Inside the lava-like fireball was a vertical, crystalline eye, quietly observing him.
A closer look would reveal a humanoid outline in the center of the fireball.
However, this humanoid silhouette was almost identical to the surrounding lava fireball.
Unsure whether the enemy had perished, Kane remained vigilant.
The attacker swiftly donned ample protection, poised for escape, with his entire body enveloped in lightning as he withdrew from the spatial seam in a split second.
"Ah!"
Intense pain surged, not from the staggering heat, but from the searing agony of his chest being pierced.
He looked down at the crystal long spear protruding from his chest.
Slowly turning his head.
He saw a bright vertical eye resting on what looked like the forehead of a humanoid lava element.
The lava element’s face split open into a mouth-like crack, stretching upward on both sides.
It was a hollow smile.
"Didn’t expect that, did you? A little surprise."
Incredible heat scorched his somewhat fragile body, his skin turning charred.
He remained silent.
And Kane’s waist magic stone had filled with a multicolored energy.
After withdrawing the crystal long spear, he filtered it through the lava and placed it into his space equipment, letting the lava fireball wrapping him disintegrate to ash.
The charred body fell from the sky.
Falling onto the Path of the Formless in the mist.
At this moment, Kane also reverted from the divine power state of lava back to his ordinary flesh and blood.
The golden glint in his eyes still flickered, gradually dimming down.
From start to finish, this enemy was firmly suppressed by Kane.
Because a kin of his had perished before Kane, showcasing many interesting skills.
When Kane realized that this man was similar to his previous kin in attack methods, weapons, and gathered skills.
He couldn’t help but smile inside.
For enemies who rely on powerful attacks and spatial jumps, whose bodies are not sturdy and attack methods are singular, lacking top-notch reconnaissance capabilities and counter-prediction abilities.
Understanding their strategy allows for complete dominance until death.
This battle was rather easy.
Kane turned to look at Kreya and the others.
By this time, Kreya and the others had swiftly dealt with the two enemies heavily damaged by the Floating Cannon.
They were inspecting the spoils on the two bodies.
Now, it wasn’t just the spoils on the bodies, but the two bodies themselves became spoils of war.
Kane walked over and asked, "How did things go on your side?"
At this moment, Kreya and Meizike were busy collecting the spoils and preserving the dead bodies.
The idle Lilu flew over and landed on Kane’s shoulder, replying, "There were six enemies in total, but three escaped, and one was captured alive while seriously injured."
"Captured alive?" Kane turned, surprised, looking at him.
Catching someone alive under these circumstances genuinely surprised Kane.
Kane wouldn’t be surprised if Kreya and the others had annihilated all the enemies, but capturing one alive under such conditions left him puzzled.
Even Kane, in a one-on-one situation, wouldn’t necessarily ensure capturing someone alive, even if the enemy had only formed a single skill.
"How did you do it?"
This intrigued Kane immensely.
Upon hearing this question, Lilu immediately crossed her arms confidently.
"Hmph, of course, it was the mighty Queen Lilu who personally captured him! How’s that, impressive, isn’t it?"
"You captured him?"
More puzzled, Kane couldn’t help but ponder this.
Then he hesitantly asked.
"He didn’t, by any chance, fail to find his way through the maze, did he?"
