135: Chapter 42 Wing of Death_2 135: Chapter 42 Wing of Death_2 She looked up at the black singularity in the sky, the direction the wingtip pointed was the whereabouts of the Skull Leader.
“Tch!” Kardesia muttered irritably and immediately transformed her body into blazing flames, streaking across the street like a meteor toward the direction indicated by the wing!
The underlying black-clothed men stood in front, wielding heavy machine guns for fire cover!
Amidst the rain of bullets that contained no supernatural elements, her fiery state merely needed to charge through, but—
The flames receded, and her physical body was revealed—Kardesia voluntarily deactivated her fiery form!
At that moment, she became undoubtedly a vulnerable mortal flesh, no sturdier than a piece of paper in the storm of bullets.
Oddly enough, whether it was the attacking enemies or herself, neither showed any surprise!
At Red Lion’s command, a fire tornado arose at the center of the road, melting all bullets in a fiery wind, sweeping the molten iron toward the black-clad troops.
In the blink of an eye, this squad of black-clothed men was incapacitated.
Kardesia breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as she relaxed, her left hand with fingers together like a blade, stabbed toward her abdomen—toward her own wound!
Kardesia’s left arm stopped abruptly, her nails just shy of piercing into the flesh.
She frowned, raised her left hand, and clutched her immobile right arm, her nails harshly digging into the flesh.
“Disgusting—cough, cough!”
She couldn’t help but curse, immediately inhaling dust through her mouth and nose, nearly suffocating her.
Kardesia struggled for a while before she barely managed to turn her upper body into flames to escape the ordeal.
Even speaking posed a risk of suffocation.
Was this just her terrible luck?
The sudden intensification of her wounds, advancing against bullets, and unexplained self-harm—how could all these be explained?
“You have embarked on the path to death!” Another group of weapon-wielding black-clad men charged, their devotion in their eyes like fanatical believers, “You cannot escape the fate of death!”
The black wing in the sky revealed the truth—this was the sinister and terrifying effect of the Skull Leader’s superpower!
Wing of Death was not only the name of the organization but also the Skull leader’s superpower, which activated in two stages.
In the first stage, subordinates chosen as “Feathers” by the Skull Leader would gain enhanced physical and stamina, with a black countdown lighting up in the sky; once all “Feathers” were defeated, the dispersing black light would return to the world, transforming into a single wing, the tip of which pointed to the Skull Leader’s location.
Wing of Death entered the Second Stage, and the target would be enveloped by the doom of death.
This dark destructive will impacted both mentally and physically, aggravating all physical injuries, turning everything nearby into deadly traps, and dominating the target with an irresistible desire for self-destruction!
In terms any low-level thug of Wing of Death could understand, this meant physical weakening, extreme misfortune, and adding on a volunteer for suicide.
This ability persisted until the target ceased breathing or the Skull Leader himself lost consciousness.
The thugs’ curse words now became the most fitting description: You have embarked on the path to death!
Kardesia remained silent.
She really wanted to curse fiercely a few more times, but the cost of getting hurt wasn’t worth it.
She then reminisced about Gongsun Ce: With just his words, the young man with gray hair could infuriate the Skull Leader to no end, even risking suffocation to hurl insults.
Lianyi wouldn’t do that.
If he faced this situation, he’d probably just give a helpless smile and then think of a quick solution—she patted her head, her mind wandering, her condition was really bad.
Lianyi’s superpower was telepathy; he couldn’t solve this sort of problem.
Speaking of which, Lianyi hadn’t contacted her yet.
Could he still be sulking…
At this thought, she couldn’t help but smirk bitterly; the loud clamoring of the thugs sounded annoyingly loud, making her mood even worse.
With so much energy, why bother messing with the Skull Leader?
She couldn’t understand these people’s thinking, even though they were fellow superpower users, just like she couldn’t grasp the reason for their excitement.
Wing of Death was a troublesome ability.
Dragging it out would make one self-destruct, and she estimated that in the end, she might just stop breathing automatically.
It sounded quite terrifying, but—
In the initial stage after being afflicted, there were still ways to attack without relying on physical force.
“Red Lion, Flowing Flame Giant General.”
The lion head rose, morphing into a ferocious skull, the flames solidified into a gilded giant.
Red Lion, without any care, went all out, the twenty-meter-tall lion-headed giant stood behind the girl, raising its glaring greatsword at the black-clad men!
With a clang, someone’s weapon fell to the ground.
The thug at the forefront stuttered, “En-energy conservation…”
Kardesia curled her lip.
Defeating all the enemies meant no need to worry about combat stamina.
The Dragon of the Vaulted Sky’s ridges had various depressions, some of which were geographically suitable and chosen as reservoirs during city planning.
The Skull Leader stood by a small reservoir in the central area, the water was no deeper than ten meters, with a storage capacity of about 1000 cubic meters, not a significant facility, loosely guarded, and easy to control.
The Skull Leader tailored different deaths for different enemies.
For those who liked to talk back, let small beasts gnaw on their heads; for those proud of their robust bodies, use machinery to strip their muscles.
Today he had specifically chosen this small reservoir as the battleground against Red Lion.
“Boss, she unleashed the giant.
The brothers in zone two couldn’t stop her.”
