Strange Voyage: Summoning the Fourth Disaster.

Chapter 672 Quite Polite
While his intelligence may be questionable, his efforts in magical damage are undeniable.

After the meteor, which dealt significant damage and was charged up, fell, the Hanging Bat Knight's already depleted stamina dropped considerably.

However, he reacted quickly, transforming into a swarm of bats and disappearing into the darkness after being injured, giving the two no chance to continue their stalemate.

"I'm really excited that such a powerful trial participant could push me to this point!"

"You have earned my approval, Lilmi!"

"...The bats cry through the long night!"

Despite suffering a loss, the Hanging Bat Rider didn't seem angry. Instead, he excitedly shouted out his moves, appearing rather childish.

He was really excited!

"So you're really calling out your own move name?"

"Is this guy an idiot?"

Seeing this, Li Miao and Shang An, though unable to see each other, both inwardly complained.

Amidst the shouts, the Holy Fire aspect of the Upside-Down Bat Rider was also revealed, with purple flames forming a giant, illusory bat that appeared and disappeared mysteriously in the long night.

rustling—

Numerous gaseous purple bats emerged from the darkness and crashed towards the two at incredible speed.

Although Li Miao was prepared and raised his shield to defend, the number of purple bats was too great to defend against.

With a loud bang, the purple bat exploded into a cloud of mist.

[You have been attacked with a "sleep" effect; the abnormal progress bar is accumulating...]

Seeing this, Li Miao knew something was wrong; this thing had a sedative effect.

Fortunately, the knights of the three starter families of Gruard not only have high resistance to abnormalities, but their [Oath of Law] is also extremely useful.

So this didn't cause him to panic; he was still able to handle it.

However, upon reaching the shore, they surprisingly did not suffer any setbacks.

After casting a spell shield, he immediately pulled out his most treasured spell, which he had recently exchanged for.

"Disappear without a trace!"

With a flick of his staff, the magical power was applied to him, and his body immediately entered a semi-transparent, ethereal state, as if he had become a projection.

The purple bat passed through his body without any hindrance.

The upside-down bat knight in his saintly state also passed through his body without causing any harm.

"What the hell? You're just targeting me, aren't you?"

Seeing the boss walk right past him without warning, he felt a jolt of fear as he went ashore, cursing under his breath.

This upside-down bat rider was clearly intelligent; he saw an opportunity to fight on the shore and charged at him whenever he had a chance.

However, their combat experience after landing on land is not bad, and they have quite a few life-saving techniques, so they are not likely to become a weakness between the two.

Li Miao, of course, wouldn't just stand there and watch.

Faced with the upside-down bat knight's Holy Fire state, both quickly entered a strategic defensive state, choosing to temporarily avoid the confrontation.

After all, the boss's Saintly Fire phase isn't permanent either; it's just that it lasts a bit longer than theirs.

Their choice proved to be correct.

Because the Hanging Bat Rider quickly demonstrated just how troublesome his abilities were in his Saint Fire form.

"Hehehe..."

"Pay attention..."

"The long night is approaching, and with it, my fangs will appear!"

After dodging Li Miao's piercing attack once again, the Hanging Bat Knight laughed loudly, and the Holy Fire Phase drew out a tail flame, as if it was about to launch another attack on the shore.

Seeing this, Shang'an immediately abandoned his offensive capabilities and unleashed defensive spells to counter the situation.

Li Miao also rushed over to help.

Just then, he suddenly realized that the surrounding darkness was closing in unexpectedly, and the visibility in the night dropped to an extremely dangerous level in an instant.

This startled him, and he instantly realized that the other party was actually coming for him.

Just as he was about to raise his great shield to defend himself, the Hanging Bat Knight appeared behind him and bit down hard on Li Miao's saintly body the instant the darkness faded.

In an instant, purple flames intertwined with orange-red flames, and a burst of fire was instantly assimilated by the Hanging Bat Knight. Li Miao reacted quickly, turning around and thrusting fiercely.

But the Hanging Bat Rider had already created some distance.

But suspiciously, he did not dodge Li Miao's attacks as he had before.

At this moment, the Hanging Bat Rider's body had swelled by a third, with extremely defined muscle lines, and his originally gaunt face had become full and rosy.

when--

Faced with Li Miao's thrust, the upside-down bat rider did not dodge this time, but instead used its long, slender claws to meet the attack head-on.

The upside-down bat rider roared suddenly, and Li Miao knew something was wrong. He withdrew his lance, picked up his shield, and pulled back.

"Warfire as strong as steel..."

"What a hot and delicious drink!"

"Thank you for giving me this rare experience."

The upside-down bat knight excitedly gave Li Miao's Holy Flame a delicious evaluation and even thanked Li Miao in a rather elegant manner.

"..."

You're quite polite...

Li Miao was somewhat speechless, but he roughly understood the characteristics of the other party's Saintly Fire Phase.

It can absorb the flames of war and add the characteristics of the enemy to itself.

Hmm... In addition to that, it also has a certain recovery effect.

That's why he unusually confronted Li Miao's attack head-on just now.

"day!"

"How is this boss regenerating health?!"

"how dare you!"

Seeing this, the person who went ashore couldn't help but feel a little angry.

Who gave you the ability to recover health?
What a despicable boss!

Upon reaching shore, he realized how hypocritical he was, completely forgetting about how he had just lost health and was frantically trying to recover by using healing wax blocks.

The battle continues.

Despite the good Holy Fire attribute of the Hanging Bat Rider, the two players were not inexperienced and quickly adapted to this, continuing their stalemate.

In fact, with the battle having progressed to this point, the outcome was predictable.

Even the Upside-Down Bat Rider in its Saintly Fire state doesn't have the conditions to decide the outcome, let alone the Upside-Down Bat Rider in its normal state.

So, it's just a matter of time.

What Li Miao found somewhat strange was that this upside-down bat rider, despite his obvious self-awareness, showed no intention of admitting defeat or surrendering. Instead, he was earnestly and persistently trying to kill the rider and change the situation.

This naturally caused some of Li Miao's plans to fall through, forcing him to focus all his efforts on killing the opponent.

after a while.

With his stamina visibly declining and his Saintly Fire Phase gone, the Hanging Bat Knight was finally given an opportunity by the two, allowing Li Miao to end his life with a single King's Annihilation Spear.

Exhausted, the Hanging Bat Knight collapsed to the ground, transforming once more into the Cold Night Bat and Lilmi, their condition even more emaciated and pale than before.

"Cough...not bad...not bad..."

"Please... wait a moment, I..."

Lilmi spoke with difficulty.

But before he could finish speaking, he could no longer hold on, his neck tilted to the side... and he died!
You have killed the Hanged Bat Rider.

"Wait a moment?"

"What do you mean?"

Seeing this, Li Miao scratched his head in surprise, and Shang An, who was standing next to him, was also somewhat confused.

However, they soon understood why the Hanged Bat Rider had said that.
