Chapter 171: Black-veined Shadow Giant Scorpion
Hmmm-
As if sensing the danger of his life, he was rolling repeatedly, trying to shake off the scorching phantom phosphorescent powder on his body, and then quickly got up, his thick tail raised high, and the tip pointed straight at Angel.
The spirit sounded like a mad warning, and Angel didn't care about releasing the toxin, and her body tilted to the left.
The scorpion's swarthy stinger tail followed her body as well, adjusting its angle slightly, and then shooting out violently. The chisel-like stinger slashed through the phantom phosphorescent powder and struck Angel's dodging body.
With a bang, Angel, who was hit in the heart, made a mirror shattering sound, and his whole body collapsed, becoming pieces of debris that gradually dissipated, and the castrated stinger left the range illuminated by the "Phantom Phosphorus Eruption" almost instantly, cutting through the dark sky, and disappeared.
The real Angel stepped out of the door of a stone house next to the street, raised the "Good Luck" revolver, and continued to lock onto the figure of the giant scorpion, about to shoot the next "Phantom Phosphorus Eruption".
But before she could aim, she felt her forehead become hot, her whole body was hot, her muscles were sore and weak, although this did not affect her movements, but the sudden physical changes still made the hand that raised the gun and aim hesitate for a moment.
The moment of opportunity was seized by the giant scorpion, and its body wrapped in phantom phosphorescent powder slammed forward, swinging at a speed that was almost indiscernible in its steps, and crashed towards Angel like a chariot.
This is, disease control? Before my poison could take effect on it, it affected me first?
Angel exhaled a breath of scorching air that seemed to burn, her lungs pulled like bellows, and she kept coughing, sensing that all the organs in her body were gradually inactive in the sudden aggravation of the epidemic, and the black-veined shadow giant scorpion in front of her kept getting closer, and a pair of giant pincers stretched out in unison, aiming directly at her fragile neck.
Phew, boom.
Countless silk threads hidden in the shadows, barely visible to the naked eye, shot out, like slender but powerful arms wrapped around the giant pincers, and although they were snapped and crumbling under the impact of a heavy chariot, it also made it difficult to move forward a single bit.
Beneath it, the ever-spreading frost instantly leaped over the struggling steps, leaving them slippery on the smooth surface, with nowhere to draw on it.
Overhead, the tiny pieces of phantom phosphorescent powder ignited black flames, quickly merging into one piece, like a velvet quilt covering it, but it contained not warmth and sleep, but a terrifying curse.
Angel's coughing also stopped at the same time, and although her cheeks were flushed with a serious illness, she did not look at all like a person who was about to fall from the plague.
She had already replaced the deadly germs in her body with a milder form of the common cold!
Of course, Angel also found out at this time that the "deadly toxin" she sowed to the other party was like a stone sinking into the sea, and it had no effect at all, presumably the extraordinary creature that could spread the "disease" in the range also instinctively had resistance to similar abilities, so she did not continue to expect the toxin to take effect, but lifted the revolver and shot out the "phantom phosphorus eruption" with one shot, and shot a new blazing light on the street that was still in the "light enhancement".
Whether this bullet comes from the memory of the previous life or the Church of the "Eternal Sun", at least this light is not false!
With that in mind, Angel unleashed the hammer of "Good Luck", aimed at the entwined black-veined shadow scorpion's somewhat small head compared to the giant pincers, and three pairs of angry eyes, and pulled the trigger.
After being increased by sixteen times the power, the "Storm Convergence" exploded like a cannon, and the bullet left the chamber of the gun and slammed into the right pincer that the giant scorpion stopped in front of him, and the heavy carapace was like soft cheese, exploding a fist-sized hole and flying into the sky with the entire right pincer.
The giant scorpion, which had managed to save its head, did not wait for Angel to fire the next bullet, and its body entangled in silk threads shook, and the black segmented body carapace swelled outward, revealing the soft flesh between the gaps.
On top of it, the white hair-like slit and the black soft flesh underneath the carapace form a black and white pattern, and then suddenly change, mixing two colors, transforming into a complex, evil image.
Angel, who was staring at the other party's body, preparing to shoot the last bullet in the chamber, exploded his thoughts, all the tactics and skills in his mind disappeared, and all that reverberated was the crazy babble and screams, and the "good luck" in his hand also fell to the ground, covering his ears with both hands, and kneeling on the ground, trying to resist the invading pollution.
The same madness flashed through the three pairs of compound eyes of the black-veined shadow scorpion, but it still maintained its basic rationality in its incomplete mythical form, and the remaining left pincers swayed to break free of the invisible silk thread, sliding quickly forward in the cold ice of the ground, and then tightly pinched Angel's slender neck.
There was a crisp cracking sound, and the body held by the giant pincers was easily broken, then shrunk and blackened, becoming a broken wooden staff stained with rust and a dark surface.
Angel's figure appeared from the sky, and the skin of her body still had a trace of rust on her body after using the "wand stand-in" to get rid of the attack, like a doll destroyed by time, but she had faced the pollution of the "real creator" many times, and she finally got rid of the unfavorable state of witnessing incomplete mythical creatures, and the surging and almost uncontrollable spirituality in her body was initially appeased.
With the sound of metal grinding, Angel's "knight's bracelet" on his left wrist turned into a quadrangular pyramid-shaped armor-piercing sword, holding the handle in his left hand and his right hand grasping the unopened position at the proximal end, and his body fell downward at a much faster speed than a free-fall body under the pull of gravity and silk threads.
The blade of the bone sword pointed directly at the black-veined shadow giant scorpion that was above the ice below, and it was difficult to dodge quickly, and one person and one sword pulled a long bright line in the glowing phantom phosphorescent powder in the air.
At that moment, all the light from the light powder went out.
…… Oops, the duration of the "Order" is over!
As soon as this thought flashed through Angel's mind, the giant scorpion below seemed to melt, burrowing into the shadow that reappeared on the ice, and the shadow wriggled and wriggled, and before it could change its position, the figure that fell from above completely merged with it, completely blending into the darkness.
Angel immediately felt that her whole body was tightly wrapped, as if she had fallen into a deep dark mire.
This isn't the first time she's hidden in the shadows, moving on a two-dimensional plane. In Byam, she used Daniz's Cloak of Shadow to evade the Punishers, along with Crane and the dead "Steel" Maviti, and her enemies, the "Bishop of the Rose", have used similar extraordinary abilities on several occasions.
Therefore, after she entered the shadows, she instantly understood her own situation, and the armor-piercing sword held in both hands did not hesitate at all, and stabbed at the black-veined shadow giant scorpion under her while the falling power had not yet dissipated.
At the same time, the latter's remaining left pincer also pinched her waist, and the front and back two hard carapace-covered limbs locked tightly on her fragile waist and abdomen.
Severe pain instantly came from her abdomen, Angel felt that the internal organs in her body were almost displaced under the clamping, but the bone sword she held in both hands did not waver in the slightest, and the uniquely shaped blade easily lifted the thick carapace of the giant scorpion and entered the opponent's equally soft body.
As if sensing the imminent death, the giant scorpion slammed its left pincer, and its tail that had lost its stinger also pierced, and the dark green venom gushed out and sprinkled on Angel's body, stirring up a scorching smoke.
The pain and burning all over her body made Angel clench her teeth, suppressing her instinctive reaction to use the "mirror double" to avoid damage, and channeling her spirituality into the "Sword of Dawn", concentrating on the tip of the sword, spewing out a black flame full of cursed power.
Boom –
Black waves of flame poured out from every crack in the carapace of the black-veined shadow scorpion, and it let out a silent scream, the pincers snapped tight, clamping Angel's waist in two.
With a bang, shards of glass spilled out of the clamps, and the small "shadow space" exploded, and the two bodies, one large and one small, were thrown in opposite directions, the smaller of which turned over deftly as it was about to land, and the other huge body rolled heavily to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.
Angel's waist has been completely torn, revealing the bruised skin underneath, she still used a mirror double at the last moment to avoid being split in two, but there are also many traces of venom erosion on her face and shoulders, blisters on the skin, some of which have even burst, revealing the rotten body tissue below, and drops of dark red blood drip down her arms and fingertips, quickly seeping into the dirt.
Fortunately, this toxin was also under the control of the "disease" ability, and she quickly eliminated the deadly toxin, and the "rose necklace" repaired the body appeared, and the rotten parts began to grow tender flesh, covering the white new skin.
However, the injuries in the body can be repaired, but the spirituality consumed is real, and after looking directly at the incomplete mythical form of the transcendent creature, Angel's body still inevitably undergoes some abnormal changes.
Her exposed skin began to grow finger-sized granules, wriggling like stubby tentacles, and the joints of her hands and feet, and even the knuckles, began to stiffen, and some of her skin hardened and darkened, developing towards a chitinous chitin texture.
Fortunately, the source of the transmission of pollution has been cut off, Angel herself is also in sequence 5, and there is no hidden danger of incomplete "digestion", and the "flesh control" ability of the "Rose Necklace" plays a key role at this time, gradually controlling the abnormalities of the body, so that she will not become a humanoid "giant scorpion".
After a few moments, Angel finally came back to her senses, the scars on her body and the changes on the edge of loss of control returned to normal, and the crazy babbling in her head gradually subsided, leaving only the negative effects of the overuse of the "Rose Necklace":
Hunger, and a thirst for flesh and blood.
Under her gaze, the "sneaking into the shadows" was interrupted, and the black-veined shadow giant scorpion that had been thrown out of the shadow space was lying on its back about ten meters away from her, a pair of feet stiffly stretched out into the sky, and the only remaining left pincer was wide open, and there was no sign of life.
