The Death List Novel - Chapter 555
Chapter 555 Encirclement And Annihilation
After transforming into a beast form, perhaps he had comprehended the Shadow Gale Leopard’s swiftness talent. Without increasing the energy conversion rate, the 17th Fallen Angel’s speed increased by three points and quickly approached the hornet swarm in front of him.
After approaching to a certain extent, Qin Lun had the Seventeenth Fallen Angel extinguish the particle melting furnace, preventing the radiation waves from spilling out of his body from alarming Napasar. He only relied on his inertia to drift over.
Napasar was more than 30 meters long and had a wingspan of more than 40 meters. His huge compound eyes were like a spherical radome covered with hexagonal crystal mirrors. He had a ferocious and slender needle-like mouth and not weak intelligence.
In other mission worlds, even if the Napasas in front of Qin Lun didn’t possess the ability to destroy cities like legendary creatures, they were more than enough compared to sub-legendary creatures. However, in this Gospel World, Napasar was only a scouting engineer of the universe’s insects.
The existence of the Gospel World seemed to be aimed at overturning Qin Lun’s previous impression of the starry sky. Because of the particularity of the Gospel World, he had once asked his companions why this world was not a High Demon World, but a Middle Demon World.
Most of the companions who didn’t know much about the secrets of the starry sky shook their heads with bitter smiles. In the end, the beautiful Guild Leader, who often mingled with the upper echelons of the Lost Realm, gave an ambiguous answer.
According to Robin’s analysis, the criteria for dividing the three mission worlds from low to high were extremely complicated, and they weren’t as simple as Qin Lun had originally thought. Not only was it related to the technological magic power of the storyline natives, it was also related to the Laws of the World and the mission area that Apostle had entered.
The reason why the Gospel World was not included in the High Demon World was probably due to its unique world laws, as well as the Angel Clone possessed by Apostle.
After all, in this world, Apostle fought as a soldier, greatly reducing the individual gap between universe creatures and Apostle. They could not be compared to the legendary creatures at the top of the biological chain.
Qin Lun put away his fantasies that had nothing to do with the battle and focused his attention on the battle.
At this moment, he was already very close to Napasar, not even a light second away. Even though one light second was close to 300,000 kilometers, the accelerated inertia would not weaken in a universe vacuum without an atmosphere. The kilometers were no different from the metres on the ground.
However, although the faster the aircraft accelerated, the faster it would be, it was not without limits. The speed of light was a limit point. Similar to the speed of sound in the atmosphere, small aircraft were usually only close to the speed of light and were unable to break through directly.
Qin Lun’s seventeenth Fallen Angel was able to break through the speed of light, but it would cause a heavy load on the mecha and even affect its combat movements. Therefore, most soldiers would not enter the battle at the speed of light unless they were on a long-distance attack.
Even though the seventeenth Fallen Angel possessed the invisibility of the Shadow Gale Leopard at such a close distance, the keen-witted arachnid engineers felt a faint threat. The swarm of insects began to restlessly stir. The leader Napasafu’s eyes were filled with ferocity, and the antennae on his head were constantly trembling, trying to find out the source of the threat.
Qin Lun vaguely felt that if he got closer, he would definitely be discovered by these big insects. Even though Napasa still couldn’t find him, with their excellent arachnid instincts, they still started to turn and fly away from Qin Lun.
“Now!”
The Seventeenth Fallen Angel’s eyes shone with a bloodthirsty red light. A ripple of water rippled through the starry sky. A vigorous black panther with blazing flames suddenly emerged from the void and dashed towards the swarm of insects with lightning speed as if it was stepping on flat ground.
“Hiss!” The closest Napasar to Qin Lun saw the Black Panther mecha. The colorful fur on his body rose like a hedgehog. A stream of air sprayed out from his needle-like mouthpiece, causing a shockwave-like scream to resound in the vacuum.
“Too late!” The Black Panther mecha’s face revealed a ferocious, personified expression. In an instant, it had already arrived at the top of its head.
The strong and powerful hind paw stomped down, and the high-speed Napasar fell like a cannonball. The moment the two collided, the soft, unprotected insect head exploded like a rotten watermelon. Dark green insect blood sprayed in the air like shrapnel from a bomb.
The Black Panther mecha used this step to refract towards the nearest Napasar like a bolt of lightning.
Although this Napasar was alarmed by his companion’s screams before he died, he was still in a dazed state and looked back with a puzzled expression. In his compound-eyed three-dimensional vision, the ferocious and terrifying figure of the Black Panther Mecha was already as close to him as a devil god.
“One, two, three …”
Qin Lun’s Black Panther mecha was like a streak of black lightning, refracting twice in succession in the void, shattering three Napasas in succession.
However, by the time the third Napasar arrived, the target was completely awake. He barely tilted his head to avoid the sneak attack. The Panther’s sharp claws only left three deep wounds on its large abdomen. At the same time, it also grabbed off the wings on the right side of its body, seriously wounding it and not dying.
“Hiss!” The swarm finally reacted and gathered together with a hissing sound. The larger Napasar, who was leading the group, sprinted madly towards the panther. The needle-like mouthpiece emitted a dark glow like a long spear.
“Your agility is indeed very high!” Seeing that his sneak attack had only caused two deaths and one injury, Qin Lun felt slightly regretful.
However, he didn’t have the slightest intention of tangling with these insects. The flames on his body suddenly burst into flames and he turned around and ran away. The seventeenth Fallen Mech in the form of a wild beast only had close combat mode. He did not have the Wind Blade talent of a true Dark Shadow Gale Leopard. Fighting against the other five Napasas was obviously not a good idea.
When he escaped, Qin Lun did not forget to secretly turn around and observe. Seeing that these insects weren’t scared away by him, he aggressively chased after him and immediately revealed a trace of mockery on his face.
Even with the severely injured Napasar, there were only six insects left. He and Frank’s all-biological mecha dealt with two, and the other eight mecha dealt with four. In a two-on-one situation, as long as he entered the encirclement, even if Napasar’s mobility was very strong, it was impossible for him to escape.
Although Napasa possessed the ferocious nature of an arachnid, compared to other arachnids, he was still a cunning scouting engineer. After chasing after Qin Lun’s butt for a while, Napassa let out a hoarse scream and slowed down with the rest of his peers. A trace of doubt appeared in his twinkling eyes.
Qin Lun’s expression froze. Just as he was about to turn around and provoke him again, he saw more than ten bright beams of light intersecting from the void, weaving a net of light beams. Right behind the swarm of insects, an earthen yellow flame burst forth.
Qin Lun smiled comprehensively and immediately slowed down his steps. He didn’t hurry and slowly rushed towards the five Napasas in front of him. At the same time, the surface of the Black Panther mecha wriggled once again and returned to its human form from the Black Panther mecha. With his reinforcements, he no longer needed to engage in close combat with the swarm of insects in front of him.
Realizing that they had fallen into the enemy’s trap, the Napasa swarm did not stir. Instead, they quickly gathered together and drew closer to each other.
The leader, Napasafu, had a cunning look in his eyes. He looked back at Qin Lun with hatred, but he didn’t hesitate to bring the other insects back to meet the earthen yellow flames behind him.
“Indeed, he has great intelligence!” Seeing this, Qin Lun’s eyes lit up.
A sneak attack would kill two insects and injure one. It was the consensus of the insects that he was not to be provoked. However, they did not break through in any other direction. Clearly, the swarm could tell that the gap left behind by the beam net was not large, and the number of enemies was more than theirs. Just a moment ago, he came to the conclusion that he had to break out of the encirclement right behind him.
“What a pity!” Qin Lun smiled meaningfully. A soldier-machine armor that could emit flames all over his body. Aside from Qin Lun himself, there was only one other person in their group. The yellow flame behind the swarm was the hunchback servant Frank.
Frank was the weakest amongst the ten Apostle, but the special laws of battle in the Gospel World had largely narrowed the gap. Although the Apostle skill was completely sealed, the MT was the MT. The insects would probably soon realize what a bronze wall was.
The first bug to encounter Frank was Napasa, who was seriously injured by Qin Lun and landed behind him. The khaki-colored flames did not slow down at all, and in a barbaric manner, they directly collided with the insects.
“Bang!” Even though they couldn’t transmit their voices like insects in the vacuum, and they could see the rotten orange in front of them that had been shattered by a bat, they couldn’t help but think of an onomatopoeia.
After blasting the Napasar into pieces, Frank’s charge slowed down a little, revealing the mecha’s full appearance enveloped in flames.
The tall soldier was holding a strange-looking shield in his hand. It was different from the enhanced APB ultrasonic shield Huo Biao used in the drill. The shield in Frank’s hand was a biological equipment specially designed for him.
This shield was even bigger than Frank’s soldiers, and it was extremely thick. Holding it in the hands of the soldiers, it didn’t look like a shield at all. It was simply a city wall.
This thing wasn’t mixed with any technology, it was pure solid. It was not a metal composite, but a cosmic skeleton called Qiongqi.
Qiongqi was a cosmic creature that had only one characteristic: its bone density was extremely dense. Other than being non-radiant, its bone density and mass were comparable to that of a white dwarf star used as fuel for a particle melt furnace by a soldier-man-machine armor.
This kind of characteristic also caused its skeletal shape to be very difficult to be modified. The ribs on both sides were like a vicious beast’s open mouth. The white sternum that connected the ribs was originally potholed, but the Ordnance Officer in charge of Frank filled it with other high-density materials, making it look exceptionally solid.
When he first saw this thing, Huo Biao, who was also an MT, felt endless jealousy. Unfortunately, the MT ability he had obtained was not suitable for this shield, so he had no choice but to hand it over to Frank, who had an extremely high power attribute.
Not to mention the weak Napasa, even the insects and black crabs covered in heavy armor from earlier drills would be smashed into a ball of minced meat by this thing head-on. Even the Black Panther Mech that Qin Lun had just turned into didn’t dare to touch the current Frank. Combined with the impact of the full-blown mech, whoever touched it would fall apart without exception.
Holding this ferocious-looking weapon, the soldiers Frank was driving were covered in dark green insect liquid. They looked like evil spirits from hell, and there was also the originally kind and honest image of hunchbacked servants.
