World-saving Plan: The Only Savior-Chapter 571 - 446 Horror Demon (Two in One) _2

However, when the creature entered the narrow path, its movements obviously became more difficult.

The enormous size in such a confined space restricted its actions.

"Good, it finally took the bait."

Zhang Xiaoman stopped running after a distance and turned around.

The appearance of the monster was indeed terrifying.

The pale palms featured six crimson pupils that opened and closed at varying rates, all focusing in his direction.

"Now!"

At Zhang Xiaoman’s command, the long-prepared followers launched their attack.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Several sounds of cutting through the air erupted.

The Star Guard used a longbow while the two Holy Knights deployed their signature skill, the "Light Gun."

Although the monster had high magic resistance, the Light Gun not only caused Dark Energy Damage but also incorporated a physical kinetic impact.

Furthermore, as the length of the spears increased with the launching distance, they easily penetrated the body of the Corpse Demon.

"Screech!"

The Corpse Demon let out a series of roars as its palm was hit by the Star Guard’s arrows, forcing the eyes on its palm to tightly shut,

Meanwhile, white mist rose from the wound created by the Light Gun’s piercing.

"I didn’t expect the abilities of the Star Shining Saint Knights to have a characteristic that suppressed demon monsters!"

Zhang Xiaoman was thrilled with the results of this attack.

Although this suppression wasn’t as evident as that of Holy Water, it had the advantage of not requiring points, making it an unexpected boon.

"Roar!"

The Corpse Demon roared again, caught off guard by the attack but quick to retaliate.

The remaining four eyes in its hand suddenly brightened with red light, immediately sending out four beams that struck several Star Guards.

However, this time, because Zhang Xiaoman had earlier absorbed three points of spiritual power using the Soul Snatching Skill,

the four Star Guards were not killed instantly but suffered severe injuries and began using their Dark Energy for recovery.

"Damn, does this guy not expend energy when using skills?"

Seeing a faint red glow appearing again in the monster’s palm, he couldn’t help but feel an urge to swear.

But now was not the time for delay.

The two Holy Knights, unable to use the Light Gun again so soon, could only lead a group of Star Guards to charge at the Corpse Demon for close combat.

Zhang Xiaoman, now under the effect of various status enhancements, temporarily raised his spiritual power to 21 points.

Even so, the close combat attacks of the Star Guards limitedly damaged the monster.

Given the size difference between them, it was clearly impossible to defeat the boss by merely chopping at its feet like in a game.

Luckily, the monster seemed to have only one skill of glowing eyes; now facing the assault of a group of warriors, it too resorted to melee combat.

However, using its size advantage, it could easily swipe and send a large number of Star Guards flying, leaving only the two Holy Knights to match its strength.

"This won’t do..."

Seeing the battle at a stalemate, Zhang Xiaoman hesitated no longer and immediately raised his black pistol, aiming at the Corpse Demon’s head and pulled the trigger.

"Bang!"

A loud gunshot resounded, echoing far in the underground space.

The Corpse Demon’s face suddenly blossomed with a spray of silver-white, as the Unicorn Blood driven by the built-in air pressure in the bullet splashed out successfully.

"Roar, roar, roar!"

The monster suddenly let out a series of agonizing screams and then clutched its head in pain.

The silver-white Unicorn Blood spread across its face, burning its skin like scalding sulfuric acid.

"Whimper, whimper, whimper..."

A moment later, the monster’s screams gradually subsided as it dropped its hand, half of its head burnt away by the attack it had just suffered.

"Demon-series monsters really do have an unreasonable amount of life force."

Seeing the state of the opponent, Zhang Xiaoman was quite shocked, but he didn’t stop his movements and continued to fire several more shots at the creature.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!" freёnovelkiss.com

Four consecutive bullets hit the Corpse Demon’s body, causing it to scream in agony.

The red light it had been preparing to release went out of control, shooting indiscriminately and kicking up a shower of debris.

Zhang Xiaoman wasn’t worried about getting hurt, as he was shielded by the Eternal Veil; unless specifically targeted by an attacker, they couldn’t hit him.

"No good, Unicorn Blood is effective, but it isn’t lethal. It seems like I need Holy Spirit Essence for a real instant kill."

Touching the small bottle in his pocket, Zhang Xiaoman thought for a moment but ultimately decided not to use it immediately.

After several upgrades, it had accumulated 4 Upgrade Points, just one shy of ascending to Purple Second Rank. It truly wasn’t worth wasting.

He took out another magazine, reloaded it with the remaining bullets, and aimed at the monster once more.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Another five bullets were fired in quick succession, emptying the second magazine.

By now, the monster was covered in wounds. Although the damage from the Unicorn Blood was limited, it became somewhat effective after a sufficient quantity had accumulated.

The Corpse Demon now looked horrendous, most of its head missing, only three arms left, and numerous holes riddling its body, looking ready to collapse.

Yet even in such a state, the resilience of a demon-series monster allowed it to continue fighting, its claws ripping apart several Star Guards.

Seeing it like this, Zhang Xiaoman thought to himself that since it had no head, it must be unable to lock onto him as a target. He immediately stepped forward and walked towards it.

Sure enough, no matter how the Corpse Demon swung its claws, it just couldn’t hit Zhang Xiaoman.

Sometimes, attacks that should have hit him based on their trajectory even seemed to mysteriously veer off course.

Zhang Xiaoman didn’t strike immediately because if he attacked now, the opponent would become aware of his position and retaliate.

Such a counterattack would target him as the aggressor and would not be shielded by the Eternal Veil.

Using the same method he had used when absorbing the Dimension Rift, he slowly floated into the air and positioned himself in front of the monster’s chest.

"Looks like I must kill you with one blow."

Zhang Xiaoman said softly, as Dark Energy Shock began to build up in his hands, Bounce Five Flashes ready...

In the meantime, the Corpse Demon attacked its surroundings several times, each attack cleverly avoiding him, creating an eerie scene as if both sides had rehearsed many times.

The next second, Zhang Xiaoman threw a punch.

A massive strength instantly transmitted through his fist, sending the massive body of the Corpse Demon flying back like a kite with its string cut.

"Thud, thud, thud, thud!"

Accompanied by a series of impacts, it finally got stuck between two stone walls in a twisted, grotesque pose.

"Is it dead...?"

Falling back to the ground, Zhang Xiaoman looked at its motionless form, relieved, his Dark Energy nearly depleted from the punch.

After waiting a moment, he even sent two Star Guards to scout ahead, ensuring that the Eye of the Starry Sky could be lit, confirming the creature’s death.

"These monsters are even tougher to deal with than I expected..."

Zhang Xiaoman’s expression was complex; the prepared Unicorn Blood had not achieved the effect he had hoped for.

And now, just one Corpse Demon had drained so much of his spiritual power. There were still six more in the cave; how would he deal with them?

He pondered strategies, but his hands didn’t stop moving. He began to use the power of the Eye of the Starry Sky to absorb the monster’s corpse.

Time passed by the second. In situations like this, he really hoped the process would drag on a bit longer.

That way, the points absorbed would be even more substantial.

Finally, after about 40 seconds, the monster’s body was completely absorbed, and a System notification rang in Zhang Xiaoman’s mind.

"Ding, Horror Demon Essence absorbed, points increased by 87."
