The Death List Novel - Chapter 566
Chapter 566 Escape
“Cronus Domain!” Wolf roared, and the space in front of him quickly condensed into a liquid-like calm water surface.
Time seemed to have come to a halt at this moment. The Reaper Spear, which was shot almost at lightning speed, revealed itself and slowly broke through layers of defense, causing ripples to ripple on the surface of the water.
Wolf’s eyes widened like a slow motion. He instinctively sensed that he was in too much of a hurry. The [Cronus Absolute Space Domain] did not seem to be fully activated, so he was afraid that he would not be able to block this shot.
“I was careless!” At this moment, Wolf almost regretted having made such an unforgivable mistake even though he knew that his opponent was as cunning as a fox.
In desperation, Wolf reluctantly stretched out a finger and pointed at the Reaper Spear that had broken through to the front. His finger instantly turned pure silver white, as if it was completely made of silver.
The moment the silver finger touched the Death Spear, it was as if a flash of light had suddenly lit up between heaven and earth. Under Qin Lun’s gaze, the Reaper Spear seemed to have crashed into an indestructible wall. From the spear tip onwards, it began to break, and debris fell from the sky.
After Wolf pointed out this finger, he became a real puppet, hovering in the air without any aura. Traces of cracking slowly appeared on his face and body, and finally, it shattered like a glazed man. However, Qin Lun was keenly aware that his opponent seemed to have taken a deep look at him before he stopped moving.
…
While Kieran and Wolf dueled on the surface of the cosmic octopus, members of the Holy Light Division and the Inspector Team waited patiently in the starry sky.
“Big brother, is there no problem for us to stay here like this?” ‘”Didn’t Dean contact us just now? The Attack has retreated to safety. Alex is leading the team. Can we …” Robben quietly replied with inspiration.
“Dean, calm down. We don’t need Alex and the others yet!” Robben smiled and dispelled his younger brother’s thoughts.
Robben and Dean were two different figures in the shattered starry sky. They came from the same alternate space-time world and were blood related brothers. Robben entered the shattered starry sky earlier and had already reached the Second Order. Dean entered the starry sky later and the Gospel World was his sixth mission world.
In fact, it was precisely because Dean had traced his brother’s disappearance that he had entered the shattered starry sky. Dean was a genius in their original alternate space-time. In terms of pure IQ, this little fellow wasn’t much weaker than Qin Lun. It was just that his real age was very young. Although he had a young body, his physiological age was actually younger than Bobby’s.
Due to his young age and lack of experience, Dean’s solution to the problem is not mature enough, which sometimes brings a lot of troubles to Robben. However, there are advantages and disadvantages. Dean is growing rapidly. Robben believes that he will one day surpass him and become one of the most dazzling existences in the starry sky.
“Dean, remember, Apostle can use any means to win, but you can’t ignore the hidden rules that everyone is observing. Otherwise, no matter how powerful you are, you won’t be able to go far!” Robben said earnestly, “First of all, there are times when no Apostle can do anything, so we need a team …”
‘”Since we have a guild, we must abide by the rules of the guild and not ignore the interests of our companions! If Qin Lun were to launch an attack now and lose again, he would be in trouble and others would dislike us for being too selfish!” Dean said weakly, “Big brother, I understand, I understand, stop talking!”
This was not the first time Robben had taught him. Dean reacted quickly and immediately understood his brother’s intentions. The little fellow then asked doubtfully, “Big brother, is high-level Apostle really that powerful? That Qin Lun would also fail?”
‘”Sir Qin Lun’s strength is indeed very strong. However, every other level of Apostle is a difference between heaven and earth. The probability of him defeating that high-tier Apostle should not exceed 30%!” Thinking of the previous situation, Robben’s expression became serious.
“Then why did he fight the enemy one-on-one?” Dean frowned and asked, “In my opinion, we shouldn’t have let the Attack retreat at that time. Relying on the Independent Warship, we weren’t powerless to fight.”
“Dean, you must change this habit!” Robben scolded his younger brother seriously, “We in Apostle are not afraid of taking risks, but we will not take blind risks. You are very smart. Think about it carefully. In the situation just now, what is the best choice?”
“We have a 90% chance of repelling the enemy team, a 70% chance of killing a portion of the enemy, and a 50% chance of annihilating them all!” Dean began to calculate in his heart. After a while, he hesitated and said, “However, there is less than a ten percent chance that the universe octopus will be alerted. In that case, Apostle may be able to escape most of the people, but he will definitely lose the Attack and most of the Keith pilots.”
“Is this worth it?” Robben asked sternly.
“It’s not worth it. The enemy’s goal is not to fight to the death with us, but to seek an opportunity to board the ship.” Dean replied dejectedly in a low voice, “Besides, the other party is obviously not the pursuing team of the Horn of the Devil. If they can’t win, they can at least be used as backup. Jannamer’s main body has already died. Even Captain Marquez should not oppose the enemy’s Apostle Conversion Camp!”
‘”So Vice Commander Qin Lun’s choice is understandable. He might lose, but as long as he shows some strength and abandons the mission’s benefits, the chances of him helping us are high!” Robben smiled bitterly and said, “Of course, this is almost the bottom line. It’s equivalent to our team losing without a fight!”
“Sigh, our luck is really bad. If it weren’t for that cosmic octopus, our original plan would have been perfect!” Dean said angrily, “If the Attack did not need to evacuate, the opponent’s high-tier Apostle would not be that powerful!”
“There’s nothing I can do about it. The mission world will always encounter accidents of one kind or another!” Robben said with a smile.
“Attention, they’re back!” Bahrain’s voice suddenly resounded in everyone’s minds. Turning around, they saw a ball of light that looked like a meteor sprinting towards them.
“Eh? There’s only one person. This is the flame of the Weaponry Machine Armor!” Bowie was an agile Apostle. Apart from Qin Lun and Robin, he had the highest perception among the remaining Apostle.
“Could it be that Sir Qin Lun has won?” Apostle from the patrol team looked at each other with a trace of surprise on their faces. This was truly beyond everyone’s expectations. The members of the Divine Light Division noticed this and couldn’t help but stir up a commotion.
“Kill them!” As expected, when the ball of flames flew closer, Qin Lun’s slightly exhausted voice rang out in everyone’s ears, instantly boosting the morale of Bahrain and the others. Without any hesitation, they broke the previous harmonious atmosphere and rushed towards the opposite side.
Although there were still two more opponents than them, without a high-level Apostle, how could these elites of the Inspector Team be timid? In the quest world in the competition mode, hostile Apostle would fall to the Magic Cube. Sometimes, this was more worth the risk than pure quest benefits.
“Lord Wolf” Most of the members of the Holy Light Division were still absent-minded. They looked behind Qin Lun in disbelief, hoping for a miracle to happen.
“Follow me!” Bald Big man, who was second only to Wolf in the Holy Light Division, roared loudly as he rushed out to awaken the crowd and led them back in the opposite direction.
No matter what happened to Wolf, he couldn’t wait now. His opponent’s leader’s strength was comparable to a high rank. Staying here would only increase casualties. It wasn’t that without Wolf, the rest of them wouldn’t be able to defeat the Inspector Team. However, this was not a good opportunity for a decisive battle.
“Bahrain, bring them back. Stop chasing them. Let’s go gather the Attack!” After chasing through the starry sky for a while, Qin Lun quietly ordered everyone to disengage and leave the Starfield.
After a long while, the seven Apostle finally gathered together Alex and the others who had rushed over to assist the formation, and under their guidance, they returned to the Attack.
‘”Bahrain, you’re finally back” Robin hurried over from the bridge. “I got the details from Alex. Where’s Qin Lun? How is he?”
“Lord Qin Lun is still inside the soldier’s body. His condition … doesn’t seem too good!” Bahrain’s expression was exceptionally solemn as he stared at the 17th Fallen Angel who had been carried into the repair cabin by the two mechs.
“How … how did he end up like this!” Robin only glanced at the seventeenth Fallen Angel and covered Cherry’s mouth in shock.
Almost all of the APB armor plates on the 17th Fallen Angel’s body were broken, and pieces of yellow liquid condensed into hard cocoons were everywhere on his body. The broken tendons on his limbs were trembling and exposed to the air, and the nearby biological tissues showed a rotten gray-white color with no signs of life.
Sherlock and the other ordnance officers used particle beam knives to cut open the necks of the soldiers, and then pulled out the spherical cockpit that emitted high-temperature steam with huge robotic arms.
However, they couldn’t find any signs of life in the cockpit. In the end, Frank desperately crawled into the soldier’s body, completely eroding his skin, causing his chest and abdomen to rupture, revealing his pale white ribs and organs. He was like a skinned frog as he carried Qin Lun out.
In order to contend against Wolf, Kieran had to take the risk of deeply fitting in with the 17th Fallen Angel. As a result, he lost consciousness. The berserk soldiers were indeed capable of dealing with their opponents, but forcefully tapping into their potential almost caused the seventeenth Fallen Angel to disintegrate on its own.
Using the APB force field as a pentagram mirror would allow him to catch up with Wolf, who possessed spatial power. However, he had to increase the energy conversion of the particle melting furnace. Qin Lun did not know the conversion efficiency of the particle melting furnace at that time, but it must have exceeded its limit, causing the body to overheat.
This kind of internal damage even exceeded the external damage caused by Wolf to the 17th Fallen Angel. In fact, there was also a reason why Qin Lun was able to wake up early.
Not to mention that in the final strike, Qin Lun manipulated the Sacred Thorn to extract the biological body from the soldier’s body, transforming it into a super longbow. The speed of that arrow made it impossible for Wolf to even use teleportation, so he had no choice but to forcefully withstand it. The price was that the seventeenth Fallen Angel had lost all combat power.
“Qin Lun, how do you feel?” Robin stood in front of the medical kit and looked at Qin Lun with concern.
“Much better, but I haven’t recovered yet!” Qin Lun slowly opened his eyes. His entire body was corroded, and even his eyelids hadn’t fully healed yet. “Where are we now?”
“We’ve already left the X-352 domain. We’re trying to contact Faith!” Robin heaved a sigh of relief and asked curiously, “Did you really kill the other party’s high-tier Apostle?”
“No, I shouldn’t have won. He will come back!” Qin Lun pondered for a moment and sighed.
He didn’t know if Wolf had returned to the starry sky directly or if he had escaped into the dimensional space. After all, his opponent was a master manipulator of space. This was also the reason why he no longer dared to stay in the Starfield to hunt down the Holy Light members after meeting Bahrain and the others.
