Chapter 437: Chapter 297: Youthful Passion
After nailing Dongdong to the wall, Lucifer intended to immediately finish her off and chop off her head.
But the backlash from dragonification was unbearably painful; every additional second felt like an inch of his body was being torn apart, severely affecting his future longevity.
The unbearable pain overpowered Lucifer’s will, forcing him to exit dragonification. The dragon-like features disappeared rapidly, and his badly battered body collapsed heavily to the ground.
He curled up and struggled, constantly spitting blood from his mouth, weakly shouting, "Someone... come quickly!"
Previously, the battle between the two was too fierce, and more than half of the first batch of Hellhound Mercenaries who went in to help had died.
Later, when Lucifer burst into dragonification, it made the battle even more brutal, leaving no room for the mercenaries to help, only able to watch helplessly from the perimeter.
Now with the battle calming down, upon hearing Lucifer’s cry for help, they dared to charge in, stepping over the debris.
"Commander!" Hellhound Mercenaries rushed in one after another.
Lucifer pointed at Dongdong, still spitting blood, and shouted hoarsely, "Finish her off! Quick! Kill her!"
The mercenaries immediately aimed their guns.
Before they could pull the trigger, they froze where they stood.
"What... is that..."
Dongdong’s body was still nailed to the wall by the Tang Blade, yet it underwent some kind of mutation; her internal core burst into powerful operation, its light nearly radiating from her body, while the engine buzzed loudly like thunder echoing.
Rays of light flowed across her body’s surface, like igniting flames, sending a wave of scorching heat that made the air hard to breathe, seemingly igniting everything around.
The most distinct feature was her eyes, substantive arcs of electricity leaping within her pupils, intertwining with the glowing streaks on her body, ice-cold yet raging.
Lucifer’s eyes showed unprecedented fear, his voice trembling, "Second gear overload..."
"Oh, so this is second gear overload? Doesn’t seem too hard." Dongdong pushed herself against the wall with her arm, pulling herself along with the Tang Blade out, landing firmly.
She casually pulled the Tang Blade from her body, bringing out a splash of blood, yet her actions were unaffected. The core provided an unprecedented amount of energy, rhythmically pulsating under explosive overload power.
She looked at Lucifer, grinning, "Doggy, you like to push yourself, huh?"
The panic spread among the Hellhound Mercenaries, the second gear overloaded engine roaring like a furious beast, deadly pressure rushing in, seeming to crush everything.
Dongdong walked over to pick up the Dragon Steel Baseball Bat that had fallen to the ground, swinging it casually.
"Boom!" With just that casual and simple motion, the sound barrier was shattered directly, and an explosive stream of air stirred a fierce gale in the hall.
She rested the baseball bat on her shoulder, jesting: "I realize, you shouldn’t completely listen to your master either. With all these weapons toying around, my darling baseball bat still feels the best."
Lucifer’s nerves were on the brink of breaking, screaming, "Kill her quickly!!!"
"Boom—" Dongdong stepped out, instantly entering the supersonic realm.
Slaughter commenced.
Her body shuttled between enemies, those electric arc-filled eyes pulling a stunning streak of light arc in the air.
"Splat splat splat—" In an instant, a blood mist soared, more than ten Hellhound Mercenaries were hit by the supersonic Dragon Steel Baseball Bat, bodies exploded beyond recognition, turning into a field of corpses.
The next moment, the light arc made a scary acute angle turn, and the Dragon Steel Baseball Bat swept through another dozen people with ferocious force again.
"Splat splat splat—" The exploding body parts spread out a scarlet carpet on the ground, the residual impact from the sonic boom even shattered the surrounding ruins, filling every inch of space with endless dust.
Confronted by crushing power, the Hellhound Mercenaries’ morale immediately collapsed.
Everybody does this job for money, following Lucifer because of enough benefits.
But regardless of the money offered, without a life, what is there to enjoy?
Facing an evenly matched enemy isn’t out of the question, but the opponent has unleashed second gear overload; going against that level of power would mean instant death, nobody would volunteer to be that foolish.
Amidst a chorus of screamed panic, the Hellhound Mercenaries scattered, fleeing the building in disgrace.
"Come back! You worthless bunch!!!" Lucifer shouted in despair, but their morale had long shattered; those who used to follow him without question were now fleeing without a backward glance.
The streak of light crossed the crowd, drawing a straight line toward Lucifer, a looming destructive pressure rushing forth.
"Ah!!!!" Lucifer roared in unwillingness, breaking past his limits even in the face of impending death, injured as he was, once again entering dragonification.
The power of dragonification was undeniably strong, but in the presence of a second gear overload, Lucifer’s blood code ranking was severely lacking.
After a few strikes, his arm took a sonic blast from the bat, his entire body flying outward like a baseball from a home run, crashing through the wall and landing in the square outside.
Countless journalists and civilians had gathered near the square, upon witnessing Lucifer being blasted out, cries of shock erupted, and everyone whipped out phones and cameras to record frantically.
Lucifer clutched his twisted arm in agony, just barely risen from the ground attempting escape when Dongdong was already upon him.
The Dragon Steel Baseball Bat tore through the air, striking fiercely at his knees.
Dongdong: "Kneel!"
"Boom!!!"
Amidst the popcorn-like sound of bone shattering, Lucifer’s knee cap was wholly smashed, his body screamed as it collapsed downward, uncontrollably kneeling onto the ground, just like when he had forced Chu Nanyi.
Dongdong: "Bow!"
"Boom!!!"
The Dragon Steel Baseball Bat reversed in direction, brutally smashing into Lucifer’s occiput, the rugged dragon horns on his head exploded, his body driven irresistibly forward, his face slamming heavily onto the floor, teeth shattering into pieces, mixed with blood splattering everywhere.
The pampered since childhood, widely renowned Seven-Star leader fell in the pool of blood, his former arrogance and pride shattered, howling wretchedly like a dying stray dog.
A nameless nobody born in poverty faced the sweeping snow, eyes burning with unquenchable fury and ferocity, his small frame stood toweringly.
Don’t talk to young people about patience, retreat, or smoothness; they don’t believe in these!
In the face of oppression and humiliation, they shatter all shackles with their fervent blood, forging ahead without hesitation!
A nameless nobody, regardless of birth, status, or power level was far inferior to his opponent, yet took on many alone, challenging what was above, completely relying on his own efforts to explode the Seven-Star leader... this shocking scene was recorded by the masses, transmitting on the internet to every corner of the world.
"Yipee... Ugh..." Lucifer’s mind had already collapsed; he emitted a continuous wailing, dragging his wrecked body like a dog crawling on the ground, attempting escape from Dongdong.
With her foot firmly planted on his back, something he had never experienced in the earlier half of his life was rushing forward—death.
On the brink of death, Lucifer twisted his body continuously, howling in agony, "Don’t! Don’t kill me! I’ll reconcile with the Edge right now! I won’t cause you trouble anymore! Please spare me!!"
Dongdong placed her foot on Lucifer’s back, those eyes looming amid the snowy curtain, exuding a deathly chill.
"I’ve already lost one home, Edge is my second home."
"Dare to destroy my home, then you have to die."
With that, Dongdong raised the Dragon Steel Baseball Bat given to her by Su Mo, to finish off Lucifer’s screaming head.
