After Beating the Game, I Became the Villain BOSS

Chapter 535: Chapter 347: Dead End

[Northern Border District, Tunneling Insect Tunnel Entrance]

Elite forces from the Edge, Mo Xue, and Wolf Raid factions gathered here in full strength, with over a hundred Extraordinary Beings like lone boats on a vast black ocean, fiercely battling endless vicious beasts.

Compared to the tens of thousands of Mercenaries on the rear defense line, those here make up less than 1% of the total.

Yet, this less than 1% faces a battle intensity hundreds of times greater than any other place.

Shangguan Li, one of the strongest among these elites, was deep in the most dangerous position, her fingers gathering high-energy laser beams and leaping like lightning through the beasts.

Unlike others who tug-of-war with the beasts or violently smash them apart, her combat efficiency was the highest.

With mastery in martial arts, she easily discerned the weaknesses hidden beneath the beasts’ strong bodies, executing each engagement with a deadly precision strike, instantly killing the seemingly formidable monsters.

Many beast corpses slain by Shangguan Li appeared unharmed at first glance, perfectly intact from head to toe, only upon closer inspection revealing their most vulnerable parts pierced by lasers.

Despite this, killing thousands upon thousands of beasts took a significant toll on her body.

Moreover, the beasts aren’t mere targets, they counterattack, they move, and this is the most densely populated area of beasts, requiring Bullet Time to maintain combat efficiency.

Shangguan Li’s Bullet Time has been running for several hours continuously, and even though her power core was upgraded to "Fearless Level" after the Fools’ Association incident, such high-intensity power output remains a immense burden.

Just as Shangguan Li dodged a beast’s claw and prepared to counterattack, she suddenly felt a sensation of loss of control in her body, as scarlet text was projected onto the interface in her cybernetic eyes.

[Warning, Implant Immunity System Anomaly]

[Cybernetic Component Coordination Discrepancy]

[Please Administer Immune Agent Immediately]

Seeing these warning messages, Shangguan Li felt a chill in her heart.

Why at this moment...

Those using cybernetic implants know that each implant user has a differing tolerance level.

A rare genius can install advanced cybernetic implants at will, with no burden.

Whereas some implant users, with low aptitude, struggle even with the most rubbish implants.

Shangguan Li’s aptitude for implants isn’t low; compared to most, she belongs to the extraordinarily gifted category.

But compared to those legendary implant users, her aptitude barely qualifies as "genius."

Fearless Level is fourth among the seven levels in the implant system, a high-grade implant, the limit of Shangguan Li’s aptitude.

To drive this Fearless Level implant, she needs regular injections of immune agents in her daily life.

Though she only needs the minimum dosage, the need for injection indicates the implant exceeds the user’s conventional carrying capacity, with a risk of imbalance.

As implant usage intensity increases, so does the risk of imbalance.

Before heading to the border, Shangguan Li preemptively injected immune agents to prevent accidents.

She thought she could minimize the risk of imbalance, yet she didn’t expect this rare event to still occur, happening during battle, an extremely fatal moment.

As deafening roars filled her mind and the bloody stench from the beasts reached her nose, Shangguan Li felt closer to death than ever before in her life.

"Master!!!" Dongdong sensed something wrong first, wanting to rush in to help, but she was too far away, unable to reach in time, only watching as the beast’s claws aimed at Shangguan Li, disoriented.

Just as Shangguan Li felt unwilling in her heart, a towering figure appeared like a storm in front of her, the wolf mane on that black leather jacket soaked in blood, dragging fine blood droplets through the air as she moved swiftly.

Those dark purple eyes reflected a fierce glow, the wolf-like enormous claws striking the beasts like cannonballs, breaking the sound barrier as they swung.

"Boom!!!"

The strength of that claw was immeasurable, the beast’s body deformed from the impact, blood bursting from veins under pressure, all bone structures crushed, turning into a literal puddle of flesh.

"Fenrir..."

Fenrir stood in front of Shangguan Li, her Azure Wolf Blood Code fully activated, her body showing signs of wolf morphing, like a half-human raging beast.

When more beasts charged, her claws swung forward rapidly, each strike carrying terrifying speed that shattered the sound barrier, every beast she touched exploded, flying backward and crashing onto the ground, some with not even basic structure visible, only shattered flesh.

After rescuing Shangguan Li, Fenrir turned slightly, glancing at her: "You okay?"

Shangguan Li raised her hand with difficulty, taking a large dose of immune agent from the rear waist pouch, injecting it into her body, and then breathing a long sigh of relief, regaining control over her limbs.

She got up, wiped away the blood from the corner of her lips, and said in a deep voice: "It was an accident just now, I can hold on."

Fenrir said nothing more, continuing toward the densest beast area, leaving a final word: "Give it your all, but don’t die."

Dongdong finally broke through the encirclement, rushing to Shangguan Li’s side and asked with concern: "Master, are you okay?"
