Absolute Zone Zero: Please call me the Dragon of Annihilation

Chapter 30 The Mysterious Black Pill

The heavy gunner, who had been ignored all along, finally couldn't hold back any longer and started to fight. "Kid! I don't care who you are, since you're here, don't even think about leaving alive." After saying that, the heavy gunner, disregarding all martial ethics, raised his howitzer and fired several more shells at Ming Che's location.

Ming Che swiftly dodged the exploding shells, arriving in front of the heavy gunner in the blink of an eye. His fist, wreathed in dragon flames, struck directly at the heavy gunner's head. "Sizzle!" The jet propulsion device on the heavy gunner's back activated.

The immense force propelled him backward half a meter, and the heavily armored gunner, having narrowly escaped, didn't forget to taunt Ming Che: "Hahaha! Kid! Didn't expect that, did you? My armor even has a jet propulsion system." After saying that, he put away the grenade launcher and took out a giant horse-slaying sword from his back.

"Hint: The third-generation armored combat knife is made of special materials and is a melee weapon designed for hollow combat, specifically for heavy mechs. It can easily cut through ten-centimeter alloy steel plates. Data analysis shows that the person in front of you is holding an armored combat knife that has been modified through special means."

A live educational message from Dragon Soul's electronic voice came through the headphones, and a hint of displeasure flashed in Ming Che's eyes upon hearing it. Seeing Ming Che remain motionless, the heavy gunner assumed he was stunned by his weapon and couldn't help but sneer:

"Hey! Kid, why aren't you moving? Are you about to cry? Hahahaha!" Finally, Ming Che couldn't help but speak up: "Shut up!" As soon as he finished speaking, Ming Che pressed the red button at the bottom of the box. "Clang!" The Dragon Abyss Black Gold Spear quickly popped out from the right side of the box.

Ming Che held the Dragon Abyss Black Gold Spear in one hand, its tip pointing directly at the heavily armored artilleryman not far away. Sunlight shone on the spear tip, reflecting a blinding cold light. "Yo yo yo! Kid, do you know anything about weapons? Come on, let me teach you."

After speaking, the heavy gunner's jet propulsion increased significantly, reaching a much faster speed than before. Ming Che wasn't angered by the other's words. He took a deep breath, and the temperature around him began to rise sharply, distorting the air around him.

Just as the heavy gunner was less than five meters from Mingche, the intense heat forced him to stop. Standing within the scorching area, the armor quickly issued a warning: "Warning! Armor overload."

As the heavy gunner tried to activate his jet propulsion system to retreat, Ming Che wasn't about to let him escape so easily. "Flame Dragon Breaks the Army!" Before the words were even finished, the fire dragon had already opened its massive jaws and lunged at the heavy gunner.

"Clang!" The broadsword held horizontally in front of him narrowly blocked the fatal blow, the enormous impact forcing the heavy gunner to retreat half a meter. Looking at the two clear scratches on his feet, the heavy gunner couldn't help but gasp.

The heavy gunner felt a chill run down his spine: "Damn! Thank goodness I blocked it, otherwise that shot would have been devastating." Then his expression turned serious: "To have such strength at such a young age, this kid must not be allowed to live."

"Kid, don't get cocky. I was careless just now. Now I'll show you the power of technology." With that, the heavy gunner gripped his saber, a menacing red light flashing beneath his metal mask. "Sizzle! Boom!" A gust of wind swept past.

In the blink of an eye, the heavy artilleryman was already in front of Ming Che, his saber whistling as it slashed towards him. Ming Che didn't try to block it head-on, dodging the attack. "Clang! Boom!" The saber slammed into the ground, the immense force creating a large crater and sending debris flying everywhere.

"Not bad! You actually dodged it. Let's see how you dodge this one." With that, two multi-barreled cannons rose from the heavy gunner's shoulders, their red warheads flashing menacingly in the sunlight. "Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

With the heavy gunner's control, several small missiles were instantly launched from the multi-barreled cannon on his shoulder. White trails of smoke traced graceful arcs in the air. "Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" Ming Che's figure moved with ghostly agility, dodging the shells, his spear leaving several afterimages in the air.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Several missiles exploded around Ming Che, the flashes illuminating the eerie mask on his face and allowing the heavy gunner to see how easily Ming Che had withstood the attacks. With each deflection, Ming Che would take a few steps forward. With the explosion of the last missile, Ming Che was less than a few meters from the heavy gunner's position. Seeing that they couldn't harm Ming Che, the gunner desperately threw all the missiles on his body. "Die, kid!"

Seeing that the time was right, Ming Che swiftly swept away the incoming missiles with his Dragon Abyss Black Gold Spear, using the sparks from the missile explosions as cover. "Whoosh~" Ming Che exhaled, and wisps of electric arcs began to flicker across the spear.

"Thunder King Spear!" Ming Che planted the Dragon Abyss Black Gold Spear into the ground, gripped the spearhead with one hand, stepped on the shaft with one foot, and spun rapidly half a circle in the air. Using the momentum, Ming Che quickly pulled out the Dragon Abyss Black Gold Spear and slashed forward. (Refer to Monkey King's staff technique)

The instant the flames vanished, the heavy gunner reacted swiftly, raising his saber overhead. A deafening clang rang out as he narrowly blocked the powerful blow. The heavy gunner was startled; he could clearly feel the immense force emanating from the saber.

Seeing that the opponent was still putting up a stubborn resistance, Ming Che increased the force in his hands. "Crack! Crack!" Cracks appeared on the ground beneath his feet. "Cough cough!" The heavy gunner was forced to kneel on one knee and coughed twice, a trickle of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

Seeing that his opponent was already at his limit, Ming Che said, "Give up, it's useless." The heavy gunner gritted his teeth and shouted, "Don't underestimate me! Ugh!" The heavy gunner didn't know where the strength came from, but he forcefully deflected Ming Che's attack and struggled to get up.

Ming Che did not continue his attack. He planted the Dragon Abyss Black Gold Spear in the ground and calmly stared at his opponent. His yellow dragon eyes lit up, and through the armor, he could clearly see the condition inside his opponent's body. Many of his bones were broken, and most of his internal organs were ruptured.

It was obvious that even if the opponent survived, he would be essentially crippled. "Cough cough! Cough cough... Kid, I admit you're strong, but I'm not made of clay either!" With that, the heavy gunner took out a black pill from behind his back.

Under Mingche's questioning gaze, the heavy gunner opened his helmet and put the pill into his mouth. As the pill went down his throat, the heavy gunner collapsed to his knees in agony, large beads of sweat pouring down his face like raindrops. A beast-like roar escaped his throat.

"Crack! Crack!" Under the effect of the pill, the broken bones were rapidly healing at an eerie speed. Ether crystals were growing from the previously ruptured internal organs. "Ah!!!" The heavy gunner roared, his eyes turning blood red and the veins on his face bulging.

Seeing this, Ming Che didn't hesitate at all. He quickly drew the Dragon Abyss Black Gold Spear from the side and instantly appeared in front of the heavy gunner. "Roar!" The spearhead transformed into a burning dragon head and went straight for the heavy gunner's face.

"Clang!" A strike powerful enough to pierce armor was blocked by a suddenly appearing ethereal crystal wall. To Ming Che's astonishment, the heavy gunner's helmet fell off, revealing a round, black core inside that emitted an eerie glow.

The Dragon Soul's voice came through the headset: "Warning! The activity of the surrounding ether is rising rapidly." Ming Che thought to himself, "This is troublesome." Sure enough, the next second, a large number of ether crystals were generated around the Heavy Gunner.

Seeing this, Ming Che had no choice but to retreat to a safe distance to prevent the thing inside from suddenly emerging and launching a surprise attack. Ming Che planted the Dragon Abyss Black Gold Spear into the ground, leaning against the spear as he recalled the black pill that had caused the opponent to turn into a skeleton.

"It looks ordinary, just a regular pill. Could it contain something strange?" Ming Che's nose twitched slightly, as if he had just realized something. The next second, his eyes lit up: "It's ethereal matter!"
