Chapter
"The speed of writing is too slow; I only finished half a chapter. I will continue tomorrow~"
A storm-like battle erupted between the golden knight and Red Hair, as both sides returned to a desperate state of close-quarters combat. They each used numerous abilities, searching for opportunities without managing to kill each other.
The golden knight initially thought he would have an absolute advantage, especially since he had disarmed his opponent. However, during their exchanges, he found that Red Hair's abilities in hand-to-hand combat were still remarkably impressive.
What further troubled the golden knight was Red Hair's hair—what exactly was it? Why could it extend freely and wrap around him, regardless of his punches or kicks?
When it came to physical defense, Red Hair certainly couldn't compete with the golden knight, but once her hair wrapped around her punches, she could face him head-on without issue.
Let’s not forget the constantly erupting lava that accompanied Red Hair's movements!
These high-temperature substances were transforming the rooftop into a lake of lava!
A twinge of pain registered in the golden knight's consciousness, causing him to momentarily freeze.
Whether he had previously been stabbed by Red Hair's spear or hit by her encircling fists, he had only felt shock, never pain.
Because any sensation of pain would mean that his proud defense had been breached.
He looked down in horror and saw his feet standing in the lava, which was already emitting smoke. Though it wasn't much, it still made the golden knight feel a chill down his spine.
Seeing his feet, he naturally noticed his body as well, which was also starting to smoke. The lava had splashed all over him during the fight; he hadn’t paid attention earlier because he thought the battle would end quickly and trusted in his defense. But now, he was covered in wounds!
The only good news was that the lava on him hadn’t broken through his defenses yet.
Instinctively, the golden knight wanted to flee. He realized this woman’s abilities were precisely the counter to his own.
In close combat, her abilities were not inferior; her weaponry and strikes offered no disadvantage, and her defenses were exceptionally outstanding. Plus, she wielded lava that could corrode his golden skin in a short time—how could he continue fighting like this?
Eighth-level mutated life forms possess intelligence but lack the human flaw of being concerned about face-saving. With a thought, the golden knight immediately reacted.
He braced himself against two heavy blows and suddenly adopted a mutual destruction strategy, forcing Red Hair back a few steps before leaping out of the combat area and turning to run.
Earlier, he had spun his arms; now, he spun his legs. The previous arm movement was to knock away Red Hair's weapon, but this time, the leg spinning was purely for escape.
This capability could potentially serve as an attack method, but now it enabled the golden knight to flee at high speed.
However, Red Hair did not pursue him. Instead, she raised her arms, and all the lava on the rooftop, as well as the lava flowing from her body, surged into the air at that moment.
Amidst the dazzling lava that resembled a light barrier, the long spear also rose into the sky, and surrounding lava began to frantically converge on it. In an instant, it was enveloped, transforming into a massive Lava Spear!
In the face of this glowing red Lava Spear, both Red Hair and the golden knight appeared extremely small.
The golden knight seemed to sense the danger approaching from behind, and let out a desperate scream as his body leaped off the rooftop, preparing to plummet downwards.
As long as he landed on the ground and entered the mutated life forms’ ranks, even if two more Red Hairs came, they wouldn’t dare to pursue.
But a searing heat emanated from behind, with a tremendous force approaching rapidly.
The enormous Lava Spear tore through what seemed to be non-existent space and had already reached the golden knight's back.
