From the end of the world

Chapter 209 VS Silver Moon 2
As the three words "Go to hell" fell, a strange and bizarre force surged towards me.

I don't understand why Silver Moon is fighting me.

From her previous tone, it seemed that she had to kill me because I was Chang'an's best friend. But what kind of causal relationship existed between them?

Or maybe there is no hidden story behind this, and she is just a monster with inherent malice and murderous intent towards humans, and "I am Chang'an's best friend" is just a random excuse she picked up? Considering that even Chang'an has a strong urge to kill, it is not unacceptable that Yin Yue, a complete monster, would suddenly show such a brutal style.

Even if there is no such reason, there is an irreconcilable contradiction between Yin Yue and me. She is the evil ghost possessed by Chang An, and I can't just sit back and watch her. Her murderous intention towards me is reasonable in a sense.

The moves she is using now are very simple.

As a monster who can modify reality at will, when she wants to kill an enemy, what is the most efficient way? Is it to summon a killing weapon out of thin air and kill it in her hand, or to summon thunder and fire from the sky, or even a meteorite to smash the enemy into ashes? None of them.

The most efficient way is to summon nothing and directly summon the result of "target death".

The power of the silver moon ignored the distance and acted directly on me. At that moment, I felt my heart stop beating, the blood flowing in my body disappeared, the bones in my body were automatically crushed like wafers, the muscle tissue was destroyed as if it was cut by thousands of invisible scissors, and the brain tissue suddenly became mushy as if it was stirred by chopsticks...

Countless miserable and horrific ways of dying appeared on me. In just one hundredth of a second, more than a hundred horrific fatal consequences appeared on me. My fire elemental body collapsed under the countless fatal consequences that came, and became like a slime formed by flames.

Needless to say, the damaged body structures were all simulated products, and even if there were 10,000 more ways of death on the physical level, they would not be able to truly kill me, a fire elemental being. But the problem was not here - I could clearly feel that the strange power acting on me was not only increasing the fatal consequences, but also seemed to have wisdom, constantly searching for the "cause of death" that suited me.

Of course I couldn't just sit there and wait for death. While enduring countless fatal consequences, I immediately teleported myself in front of Yin Yue and launched another close-range fire attack. And then, I found myself being transferred back to the original place - she once again used the power to modify reality and canceled my attack.

Almost at the same time, I felt that my whole body could no longer move or change. It wasn't that she had used some kind of trick to restrain me, but that my body was frozen. Yes, although I was a flame, I had somehow turned into ice. To be precise, I should say that I had crystallized. Now I was like a flame-shaped crystal suspended in the air.

The reason seemed to be that the "Death Order" acting on me finally found a "way of death" that was effective for me. After I crystallized, it was as if countless invisible files were rubbing me crazily, and the crystal began to decompose at a very fast speed from the edge. This phenomenon was not only decomposing me on the material level, but my soul seemed to be synchronized with the crystal, and it burst out with unprecedented intense pain, as if my flesh and blood were cut by a file.

I'm being killed!
The shadow of death descended upon my consciousness.

Although they are all at the great perfection level, Yin Yue, Chen Long and Shen Qiang are all completely different.

When I fought the latter two, although I thought I was stronger, I never took the fight with them lightly. They were either people I could not kill or people who could kill me, so I would do my best to deal with their moves. I even thought "that was a fight" and thought I was really fighting for life and death.

The current situation has made me realize my past misunderstandings - "I will go all out"? This mentality is based on the premise that I have the freedom to choose. I can go all out or not, I just chose the former. Now it's different, I don't have the right to choose whether to go all out or not. This is a real life-and-death struggle.

Chen Long and the magic spear only made me know the pain, while Yin Yue brought death to me.

I unleashed all my strength without hesitation. In fact, I had been using all my strength to deal with Yin Yue from the beginning, but now I was exerting my full strength with a mentality close to my limit. My strength turned into a huge sea of ​​fire, engulfing the surrounding land and covering a very far distance.

Now Yin Yue and I are in the forest outside the old base of the Humanitarian Department, and the sea of ​​fire I summoned has submerged the forest with a radius of more than two and a half kilometers in one breath.

It is said that the horizon that humans can see on the plains is about four to five kilometers away, which means that if someone stands at one end of my sea of ​​fire and looks at the other end, they should be able to see that my sea of ​​fire has spread beyond the horizon. This is the maximum scale of destruction I can inflict at the moment. The forest is burning in flames, and even the old base of the Humanitarian Department in the distance is covered by it.

Of course, my flames had no intention of harming the personnel in the old base of the Humanitarian Division, and I did not summon such a huge sea of ​​fire just for the sake of a good look. Under my control, the flames swept towards me from all directions at high speed, rapidly replacing the crystallized body parts with flames, and simultaneously repairing my soul injuries.

This place has been transformed into the most suitable "home field" for my activities. The former Chen Long relied on the support of the power of restart to resist my destruction in the independent reality space, and now I rely on the sea of ​​fire to do the same thing.

I immediately regained the ability to move freely and rushed towards Silver Moon.

Her "Death Order" has not yet expired, my body has crystallized again, and my soul is also suffering new damage. However, the flames are also rising rapidly from the flames below, offsetting the progress of crystallization and damage.

"You can do this kind of thing?" Yin Yue made an unexpected sound.

She instantly moved far away and then made a new move.

"In that case——"

The mana wave spread out from her body like a shock wave. Wherever she passed, the sea of ​​fire disappeared in large areas as if it had never appeared. Seeing this, I summoned the disappeared part of the sea of ​​fire again. If her power is an eraser, then I am the brush that splashes ink. I noticed that when she used her power to erase the sea of ​​fire, the progress of the crystallization and soul trauma phenomena in my body immediately became very slow. It seems that even she has limited power and cannot guarantee the efficiency of killing me while devoting her energy. And if it is this speed of injury, I can even complete the repair by just summoning fire from my body.

Faintly, I felt my consciousness gradually rising to the metaphysical level again, just like when I was fighting the Shadow-Changer. Obviously, what Yin Yue was doing now involved the realm of cause and effect, concepts, and imagination. I felt that my "existence" was shrouded in dark smoke and was gradually being stained black.

Perhaps the level I'm feeling now is also the level through which curses and mental spells pass when they are activated. Facing this imaginary realm that seems to exist only in my mind, I imagine myself summoning fire to protect myself. The smoke is immediately dispelled by the flames. However, my tendency to deteriorate has not disappeared.

It seems that there are still some invisible things that I cannot perceive now that are corroding me. This is normal. Yin Yue is definitely a master who specializes in this metaphysical field. It is impossible for a novice like me who has just started to learn the ropes to easily gain an advantage in this heavy field.

At the same time, my strength is rising rapidly. Just like in the past, when Chen Long caused me soul pain, my consciousness became active and my strength increased. Now I am also being pushed to the limit, more aware of the shadow of death than ever before, and my strength is being released at an unprecedented efficiency.

Frankly speaking, what I lack now is not strength, but the correct means to win.

Although he was mentally prepared that "it doesn't matter if Chang'an is burned half to death", he could understand from Yin Yue's performance that if he couldn't kill her with one blow, she would recover on the spot; and if he killed her, Chang'an would most likely be killed as well.

So, is there a way for me to destroy only the "Silver Moon's Soul"? To be honest, this is very difficult. Although I can destroy other people's souls now, it is only a move based on my impression of the pain of my own soul. In fact, I have never intuitively recognized the soul. Objects that have never been seen cannot be included in the flame's whitelist.

On the physical level, I can't even tell whether Yin Yue put on a layer of her own shell on Chang'an's body, or simply used her ability to modify reality to modify Chang'an's body into her own shape. If this is not clear, let alone the fact that she just destroyed "the part belonging to Yin Yue".

Considering that I didn't know that the girl Lu Chan's body was a national first-class demon hunter medal, my flame didn't burn her and Chen Long together. There is something worth talking about, but I think that is my superpower, which is sometimes unclear as a strange power. It's fine to regard it as a passive phenomenon that occurs naturally, but I don't think I can actively use it with human consciousness.

The worst possibility for me now is that Yin Yue is not only possessed by Chang An's body, but has also completely killed and replaced Chang An with her own supernatural power. With the power she has shown now, it is completely possible. I can't even think of a reason why she doesn't do that - is she expecting this monster who basically didn't raise Chang An to have any motherly love for Chang An?

I can only temporarily control myself from thinking in this direction.

I manipulated the flames to attack her repeatedly, and looked for opportunities to use flame teleportation to get close to her and burst the flames. She sometimes dodged, and sometimes used her supernatural power to cancel my actions. Let's not talk about dodging, this "cancellation" is really hard to defend against. There were even a few times when I finally hit her, but she still turned it into "something that never happened" and instantly returned to her original form.

However, I also have my own ideas.

Since I can't beat him in terms of the special strength, I will overwhelm him with my huge size. This sea of ​​fire is not just for show. After a few battles, I can judge that from the perspective of pure strength, Yin Yue is not stronger than me. And my strength is still increasing.

"...You are getting stronger." Yin Yue's tone fluctuated, "No, this is not getting stronger... but awakening. I see, it seems that you have an unprecedented talent.

"But... do you think I will let you continue to increase your strength?"

As she spoke, she stopped dodging and instead rushed towards me.

What is she planning to do? I immediately raised my guard. In terms of direct confrontation, I am obviously stronger. Even if she can cancel my actions or reset her damaged state at any time, it is still not a wise choice to rush into close combat. No matter how you look at it, it seems that she is going to use some kind of killing move.

And my judgment was correct. In the palm of her right hand, I saw a ball of hot white light that gave me an extremely bad feeling.

Maybe it's because of the nature of my superpowers. If other demon hunters were here, they might not be able to tell what it is at first, but I can tell the nature of this thing right away. The basic operating principle of this thing is the same as that of the majestic celestial body hanging in the sky during the day.

I have seen many people on the Internet talking about how to develop their awakened superpowers, and whether they can blossom into amazing results if combined with scientific theories. For example, can a superpower who can manipulate electric current master the basic electromagnetic force, can a superpower who can move objects with his mind manipulate atoms to produce nuclear fission in the microscopic field, and so on.

But in the world of demon hunters, this kind of thing doesn't seem to be so popular. Just think about it, even if humans can move matter with their hands, it doesn't mean they can use their hands to decompose and reorganize the chemical structure of matter. The power of supernatural powers can be expanded and interpreted in any way in the realm of imagination, but in practice it is another matter.

However, Yin Yue seemed to break that conventional idea.

I once used the word "miniature star" to describe my super-compressed fireball, but compared with the white ball of light that Yin Yue is holding in her palm, it pales in comparison. This thing is a mini sun in the true sense, and it generates huge energy based on the principle of nuclear fusion.

Yin Yue struck the blazing white ball of light in her palm towards my chest.

A nuclear explosion occurred.
