The Death List Novel - Chapter 564
Chapter 564 Change
Qin Lun had seen many high-level talents. He had fought against the Vice Principal of Green College as early as World War II. The most dangerous one was the assassination of a high-ranking assassin from the Santalin Society in Toril World. The closest one was the captain of the United States who wore S-men in the previous mission world.
Ever since he had to flee from high-level professions, Qin Lun’s strength had improved tremendously since he was able to contend against them in a short period of time.
However, in the face of Wolf, a true high-level Apostle, he found it difficult to accurately compare his previous combat experience. Fighting against high-level Apostle and fighting against high-level storytellers were two completely different concepts.
In fact, relying on the existence of the Laws Body, high-level Apostle was stronger than his peer storytellers, and to a certain extent, he made up for the shortcomings of a single profession.
For example, high-level mages in the quest world had the same powerful magic as mage Apostle, but their weak bodies were also a weakness of this type of profession. However, Apostle did not have such weaknesses with his Laws Body. Simply put, every Apostle was the most powerful existence in his profession. Basically, they were able to cross-stage challenges, that is, mid-stage versus high-stage, high-stage versus storyline legends.
But what if Apostle versus Apostle? Under the condition that all of them possessed the Law Body, fighting a war of attrition would only mean that a higher-tier Apostle with a better foundation and richer wealth would take advantage of them.
In the middle and lower ranks, perhaps Magic Scroll and Apostle could be used to bridge the gap. However, once he reached a higher level, Apostle would reach the peak of his profession. This kind of Apostle didn’t have any weaknesses, and its physical fitness was incomparably strong. It had absolute control over the board. Even if a few legendary forbidden spells were thrown by a mid-or low-level Apostle, they could only delay the defeat and not truly turn the tables.
“Whoosh!” The soldier opened his ferocious mouth and exhaled a mouthful of turbid air like a real human. This was a phenomenon that only occurred after the particle melting furnace was overheated.
After eating and drinking enough, the cosmic octopus shrank back into the shape of a ball. However, the ecological environment above it had been completely destroyed. All the tiny creatures born in hundreds of thousands of years were extinct. The ocean was evaporated, and the atmosphere that barely escaped to the vacuum turned into an irregular haze climate. The fierce strong winds blew everything on the surface of the octopus.
At this time, Kieran and Wolf had been fighting on the surface of the planet for several rounds. Qin Lun immediately realized that he was no match for Wolf after a short battle. He could only use his current physical environment to hide and dig a hole for Wolf.
He could only rely on tactics to make up for his lack of strength. At this time, Qin Lun’s advantage as a hunter was truly reflected. No matter what, the hunter’s reconnaissance ability surpassed that of Wolf, a space manipulator. Under the harsh conditions of the universe’s octopus, it was not easy for the deputy commander of Holy Light to catch him.
His current location was the section of a steep mountain range. This was originally a huge mountain range. Under the intense movements of the octopus in the universe, the earth’s crust underwent great changes, and the mountain range was cut off, forming a terrifying peak-shaped cliff.
Qin Lun’s soldiers were tightly clinging to the back of the cliff, and a layer of dark green vegetation gradually emerged from his body. Under the blowing of the strong wind, the plant thorns quickly faded and solidified. If one didn’t carefully observe them, they would be like a protruding grey rock on a cliff.
“Truly troublesome!” Wolf pinched the bridge of his nose and slowly floated in the air. The brain waves of his spiritual energy swept across the ground beneath his feet again and again.
He didn’t complain about Qin Lun changing the way he fought. As long as Apostle could win, it didn’t matter what method he used. As a high-level Apostle, Wolf understood this.
In fact, even though he had just started a few rounds of probing, Qin Lun still gave Wolf a pleasant surprise. After Apostle reached the high rank, he had a subtle feeling that he wasn’t a high rank Apostle the moment he first met Kieran.
However, Kieran’s performance left a deep impression on Wolf. Using four Gaussian guns in the matrix mode, the sniper’s focus shot, as well as the guerrilla’s arc and refractive spear technique, could only be described as stunning and gorgeous.
In the eyes of the Starry Sky Apostles, it was generally believed that the Gunner was just a transitional profession. Compared to the mysterious and unfathomable magic skills, most of the apostles who liked long-range output would choose the profession of magician. Even if their magic talent wasn’t high, many people would choose Archer instead of Gunner.
Their reason was very simple. A long arrow engraved with magic runes might be as powerful as a magic bullet. However, the problem was that it was impossible for the gunner to enchant all the bullets. Ordinary bullets weren’t very powerful. Without the continuous firing of magic bullets, it would be better to use bows and arrows. At the very least, the arrows could be recycled.
However, Wolf was no ordinary Apostle, and his long adventure had allowed him to experience true high-level gunmen.
Once, Holy Light Team fought against another high-level team. They were lucky enough to cripple their opponent’s MT at the start of the game. Just as Holy Light Team thought that victory was within his grasp, one of his opponents, a high-ranking gunner, stepped forward.
That kind of spear technique that was willing to do anything to suppress the entire arena had actually allowed an output profession to display the field control effects of an MT, and it had also taught all the high-level Apostle present a lesson. There was no distinction between the strong and the weak in combat professions. The only difference was in the professions themselves.
After just a few rounds of contact, both sides realized the difference in strength. It wasn’t surprising that a Second Grade Apostle couldn’t contend against a High Grade, but Wolf was a little surprised by Qin Lun’s difficulty.
Wolf’s evaluation of Qin Lun was the result of his treacherous movements and slippery hands!
Fighting on the surface of the cosmic octopus might seem fair to both sides, but Wolf knew it was even worse for him. After all, Wolf was possessed by the daughter of Jannamer. No matter how determined his mind was, he would inevitably feel a shadow after seeing Jannamer’s silver lightning being devoured by the octopus.
This was also the biggest reason why Wolf, as a space manipulator, hadn’t been able to catch Qin Lun before. He didn’t dare make too much noise to avoid alarming the universe’s octopus again.
However, as the battle progressed, Wolf slowly confirmed that the cosmic octopus had indeed fallen asleep again. The battle between the two little ants could not alert the old man.
However, at this moment, Qin Lun had vigilantly used the rough and rough geography of the planet’s surface to hide, leaving Holy Light Team’s Deputy Guild Leader helpless.
Of course, Qin Lun’s seemingly boring move did not let Wolf down. Just because his opponent was unable to defeat him head-on did not mean that he would definitely win. Since the opponent understood the difference in strength, but was still unwilling to give up, then there must be a trump card.
Moreover, Wolf understood his opponent’s current mentality. Even if the outcome of the defeat was inevitable, it would be a success for him to recognize his strength. At the very least, in the subsequent negotiations, Wolf would not be able to claim anything from the team. After all, Wolf wasn’t alone right now. Just because he was strong didn’t mean that his other companions didn’t have any scruples.
“Spatial ability … is really troublesome!” Just as Wolf was having a headache for Kieran, Kieran was also extremely worried about Wolf’s replacement ability.
Qin Lun had already simulated countless battles between the two sides in his mind. The best outcome was that he had given Wolf a heavy blow at the cost of death. In the end, his opponent was still able to escape death with his spatial ability.
“The compatibility with soldiers is still too low!” Qin Lun quietly leaned against the mountain wall as the brief battle scene flashed through his mind.
In his high-intensity probes, he discovered flaws in the mecha that he had never experienced before. Unlike fighting insects, the Jannamer All-Life Mecha showed a slow reaction in front of Wolf, the real Jannamer.
No matter what, Qin Lun felt that his previously incomparably smooth technical movements were still a beat slower.
Compared to Wolf’s understanding, Kieran believed that the gap between the two was not as big as it actually was. Soldier armor and Jannamer progeny had their own advantages, but Wolf had Jannamer as his body, while Kieran needed to control the mecha through the control core.
Originally, this was nothing. After all, even if the soldier-machine armor reacted slower, it still had high maneuverability and special equipment to fill the gap. Its performance was on par with others. However, if he were to add on Apostle’s disparity in strength, that would create his current predicament.
“Unless my compatibility with the soldiers rises to a new level!” Qin Lun’s expression changed unpredictably. Finally, he grinned and made up his mind, “I have to give it a try. It’s meaningless to lose just like that!”
“Boom boom boom boom” An inaudible sound rang out from the soldier’s body, as if some kind of spring had been stretched to its limit, and a crisp cracking sound had begun to emanate from it.
After letting go of his consciousness, Qin Lun felt his body sink. It was as if he had suddenly stepped into the air in his sleep and was rapidly falling towards the pitch-black abyss. At this moment, within the soldier’s body, an extremely painful and ferocious expression appeared on his face. The veins on his body were erect, as if countless small snakes were wriggling beneath his skin.
Dark green thistles broke out one after another, diving deep into the soldier’s body until they connected to the core of the clonal tissue buried deep inside Jannamer’s organism. The skin on Qin Lun’s Angel Clone melted like wax, and his entire body fused with the soldier’s, completely devoid of human form.
The soldier who was close to the mountain wall suddenly felt like he had an epilepsy. His entire body trembled, and the hardened thorns covering his body began to crack and fall off. A painful expression appeared on the soldier’s face. He opened his mouth slightly and let out a low roar.
“I found it!” Wolf’s eyes suddenly lit up as he noticed the movement below. He dodged towards the cliff where Qin Lun was hiding.
At this moment, the soldier’s abnormal state also stopped, and his eyes slowly lit up with a scarlet light. It turned a blind eye to Wolf, who was pouncing towards it, raised its hands and put them in front of its eyes, took a deep breath greedily, looked around like a newborn baby, and opened its ferocious mouth, leaving a thick saliva between its teeth.
