Chapter 884: Desperate Cannonade! (Bonus Chapter)
In the blink of an eye, Shirley had already released more than a dozen spiritual skills, frantically switching between five elements!
She even combined them, never repeating a single one, dazzling and overwhelming to behold.
Whether it was offense, defense, or recovery and healing, she was practically omnipotent!
Shirley didn't need any support; she was a team all by herself—an all-powerful magic god!
From the start of the fight until now, Shirley had barely moved, always standing beneath the tree spirit's projection!
The massive amount of spiritual energy consumed by her skills was constantly replenished by the green light rain, keeping her fully charged!
If this continued, Shirley could keep fighting forever—virtually unstoppable!
In contrast, Zhong Yingxue only cycled through a few spiritual skills. Though her attack power was terrifying,
it was limited to offense alone. Compared to Shirley's variety, it seemed too one-dimensional!
At this moment, netizens plunged into heated debate!
"People don't call her the Chosen Divine Maiden for nothing—an all-rounder with no weaknesses, that's a true magic god!"
"If you can't drive Shirley out of her recovery skill's range, no amount of attacking will work, right?"
"The Flame Queen has met her match. I don't see how she can win!"
"It's a talent and ability gap—can't be helped. Shirley's just an overpowered divine maiden!"
Tom watched Zhong Yingxue darting across the field at high speed, trying several times to get close to Shirley but being pushed back every time.
He sneered: "Is that all you've got? Trust me, this match won't last more than three minutes!"
Jiangnan: (๑՞ٹ՞) "It won't exceed three minutes. You're quite prescient!"
Even in this situation, Jiangnan remained unconcerned, carefree as ever.
Beside him, Xia Yao was even recording the match with her phone!
"Giggle~ Xuexue is so cool!"
Mila: ✺◟(∗❛ัꇴ❛ั∗)◞✺
"Sister Xuexue, go for it!"
Tom frowned and shouted down: "Stop playing around! Finish her off quickly!"
Attracted by the shout, Shirley glanced toward the stands.
In that moment of distraction, Zhong Yingxue shattered several layers of thick rock walls!
"Dark Fire Black Flame!"
A massive fireball thirty meters in size took the opportunity to crash into the recovery zone, hitting Shirley!
"Boom!"
With a thunderous roar, Shirley was blasted hundreds of meters away, thrown out of the recovery zone.
She coughed up blood, her body stained with black flames, her expression filled with agony.
Zhong Yingxue didn't pause, pressing the attack!
Shirley clenched her teeth: "Blessing of the Holy Angel!"
Instantly, a pair of white wings spread from her back, and a cyan-green light washed over her body, extinguishing the undying black flames!
"Gift of the Tree God!"
She released skill after skill. Three giant tree projections grew around her, overlapping in a triangle,
further expanding the recovery zone. Shirley stood at the center of the three overlapping trees, her injuries and spiritual energy once again restored!
"Stone Golem!"
The ground trembled as a massive earth-and-stone giant emerged behind Zhong Yingxue, swinging a stone club through the air at her!
Even though Zhong Yingxue blew up the golem with Sea-Burning Flame, the club's inertia still struck her!
"Bang!"
Her body was sent flying, tumbling through the air and crashing to the ground.
Thanks to the Blood-Drinking Chainmail she wore, she only spit out some blood, but the absorbed shock fed back into her stamina, actually making her cheeks flush red.
Shirley's eyes gleamed with excitement: "Not coming anymore? Come on! Weren't you so fierce last time?"
"What's wrong now? My skills cover every aspect; I can counter you to death!"
"This is what a true magic god looks like. I'm going to make you realize just how fragile your pride is!"
At this moment, even Zhao Dezhu began to worry.
Shirley was truly troublesome—she had everything. As long as her consciousness remained clear, she could keep fighting forever.
Danny Tom and the others were also brimming with excitement, finally letting out a breath of satisfaction!
Zhong Yingxue wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.
"I was just thinking of forcing you out of your recovery zone and burning you with black flames, but I didn't expect you to have so many skills."
"It seems I'm not suited for schemes or strategies..."
"From start to finish, I've had a clear understanding of my role. I'm a damage dealer, not some magic god."
"And the only thing a damage dealer should do is blast away all enemies head-on!"
As she spoke, flames surged around Zhong Yingxue, blazing fiercely!
"Nine-Headed Phoenix: Maximum Firepower!"
In an instant, a nine-headed phoenix formed entirely of flames enveloped Zhong Yingxue completely,
crying out to the heavens!
Zhong Yingxue's face turned pale. She pulled out a piece of durian pulp from her backpack and took a bite.
(๑･᷄ཀ･᷅)～Ugh!
Her total spiritual energy reached 150%. Then she pulled out a bottle of Deadly Green Club, tilted her head, and chugged it down.
The next moment, the flaming nine-headed phoenix expanded to over 90 meters tall!
Its nine heads opened their massive jaws, each condensing a Dark Fire Black Flame, each 90 meters in size, all aimed at Shirley!
At that moment, every audience member in the venue was dumbfounded. Netizens in the livestream hugged their screens, eyes wide.
What the hell was this?
Was this really a skill a platinum-level spirit warrior could release?
Shirley stared blankly at the nine black suns in the sky.
Σ(||°△°) Holy crap!
Jiangnan's grin stretched to his ears. Originally, nine cannons were already insane enough!
And Xuexue also drank the Big Green Stick? Magic attack boost? Wasn't this just bullying?
Zhong Yingxue's beautiful eyes flashed with cold light!
"Annihilate!"
Nine fireballs instantly hurtled toward Shirley. Her expression changed dramatically!
"18-Layer Rock Gate! Sea Shield! Ironwood Thicket!"
She threw out several defensive skills, drastically altering the entire arena's terrain in an attempt to defend against Zhong Yingxue's bombardment!
"Boom!"
The fireballs exploded one after another, blasting through earthen walls, shattering ironwood, and evaporating water shields!
They charged irresistibly into Shirley's recovery zone!
A terrifying wave of heat swept across the venue, scorching faces and making the whole arena tremble.
Yet while defending, Shirley didn't forget to attack.
Sharp stone spikes and steel pellets shot toward Zhong Yingxue through the air!
Zhong Yingxue didn't even look. She controlled the nine-headed phoenix to flap its wings, unleashing seas of flames and Red Lotus Explosive Fire Bombs!
The spikes melted, and the steel pellets turned into molten iron!
The vast arena had turned into a hell of molten lava. Shirley was blasted black-faced and utterly disheveled.
Just as she was recovering, she glanced up at the nine-headed phoenix and felt nothing but despair.
Another nine fireballs were being condensed, fired again, wave after wave, never stopping!
Shirley's face turned white. What kind of ferocious output was this?
Although she had many skills and was comprehensive, how could she block such an absurd level of offensive output?
Zhong Yingxue indeed only had five spiritual skills, but she had mastered each to the highest level.
Now, combined and used together, they formed this nearly unstoppable barrage.
She had no defensive skills!
But so what? She didn't need them—could you even withstand her output first?
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The desperate bombardment began!
Mo Ling's high-pitched voice echoed through the arena!
(*ﾟﾛﾟ)و "Whoa! Did everyone see that? Nine human cannons! The Flame Queen has gone berserk!"
"This level of output is demonic! The Chosen Divine Maiden is completely suppressed!"
"Can Shirley hold on? I wonder how long this high-intensity barrage can last!"
Jiangnan snickered.
Sorry, it can keep going forever.
Until Xuexue gets sick of durian pulp and finally stops.
Shirley certainly had many skill types and tactical flexibility.
But Xuexue's attack power exceeded the maximum Shirley could withstand.
Even an all-powerful magic god would be crushed under this endless cannonade.
Destroyed head-on!
At this moment, Tom and the others stood up, their faces filled with shock as they stared at the field.
"Th-this... what level of skill is that? How can the output be so strong?"
Jiangnan: (๑¯ิꇴ¯) "Just star-glory level? What? You don't even let your magic god use star-glory level spirit beads?"
"We all have them as standard equipment here!"
Tom: ???
Huh? Standard star-glory level skills? I haven't even used that kind of spirit bead yet!
You platinum-level guys are already equipped with them?
[From Tom.Max: Resentment +1000!]
Sean clenched his fists, his face dark.
"Shirley can't hold on. Zhong Yingxue's output level has exceeded what Shirley can endure."
"Even if Shirley is all-round and has many skills, she can't counterattack. She'll be completely destroyed. This match... can't be saved."
Yet even so, Shirley still fought stubbornly, constantly releasing defensive skills and tree god projections.
But as soon as they were halfway formed, they were shattered by fireballs. The tree god's recovery speed was far slower than the rate she was being drained.
The perfect system she had built was brutally crushed by Zhong Yingxue's savage barrage.
Her heart was filled with shock and bitterness. Was the system she prided herself on as unassailable so fragile in the face of absolute attack power?
It was just fire element, something you see everywhere. How could it be this strong?
"Boom!"
With an explosion, all the tree god projections shattered. Tom urgently shouted: "We lose! We lose! Stop! You'll kill her!"
Zhong Yingxue waved her hand and dispersed the nine-headed phoenix.
Now the arena had turned into a pool of lava.
Where Shirley stood, there was now a giant pit filled with glowing red magma.
Shirley, her body completely metallized, floated in the magma, her body charred black and utterly weak.
Looking at the approaching Zhong Yingxue, she felt a bitter taste in her heart.
She had absolute talent, yet she lost to Zhong Yingxue. This girl had redefined her understanding of output!
"How did you do it? I shouldn't be weaker than you, but this match..."
Zhong Yingxue: (๐°˃᷄ཀ˂᷅) Ugh~
Shirley: (*꒦ິ皿꒦ີ)!!!
"I may have lost to you, but am I really that weak? Are you disgusted by me?"
"Disgusted to the point of vomiting? You... you have no manners! Pfft—"
Angered, Shirley spat out another mouthful of old blood.
