Star Abyss Walker

Chapter 320 The Warp Witch

With a thought, he instantly launched a shield bash using a medkit!
"Pong!"

The Glory Barrier slammed heavily into the abdomen of the centipede-faced creature, the disintegrating force field hissing and constantly dissolving the opponent's subspace shield. At the same time, a burst of energy charged forward, launching a displacement attack from behind!
Amidst the sound of wind breaking through, after I transformed into a blur and broke through the opponent's body, my body was suddenly bounced back by a mysterious force.

This mysterious force is called "collision volume" in the game. That's right, most games are designed to prohibit "unit overlap". If two units overlap according to the game mechanics, they will be forcibly separated by the system rules in the next second.

The moment we were forcibly separated, my body suddenly sprang upwards, and I found myself on the hunter's back!

Stepping on its jet-black armor, it felt like walking on flat ground, as if running on the roof of a train.

“Zizi~~~”

The centipede with the human face was enraged, twisting its body wildly and unleashing a flurry of dense, barbed claws.

However, it doesn't have eyes, so I'm currently in its blind spot.

That's how the tactics came about.

Overjoyed, I immediately unleashed a barrage of attacks: Battle Cry + Chaos Blade + Creation of the Gods + Unstoppable Force, and then began hacking at the back of the centipede with all my might, while simultaneously aiming for its tail.

I refuse to believe it has a head at both the front and the back!

Sure enough, after running nearly 30 meters, I arrived at its tail position. There was no head, only a tail that looked exactly like steel scissors. But there was no view, so it could only slash randomly in the air.

He swung his sword and slashed wildly.

In the distance, the centipede with the human face had turned its head around. In the crowded tunnel, it struggled to bend its body into an acute angle, its head squealing and charging forward.

I couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

The cross-section of this tunnel is not much larger than that of the human-faced centipede. It is the dominant creature in this type of terrain, with its head in front and its rear end behind. Even third- or fourth-generation armored warriors in Star Abyss would find this thing quite troublesome.

But it just so happens to encounter a player, a player with the "passing through monsters" skill.

So, when the front half and back half of the centipede's body overlapped to form a "double fold", I immediately used a burst charge to appear behind it. This time, I used the Glory Barrier to block the claw spikes and used the power sword to slash at its snow-white belly!

If it's so tough, let's fold it into three sections!
Unfortunately, the tunnel was too cramped, so it couldn't fold up three times. It could only keep crawling forward, exposing its dark rear end to me.

"puff!"

Finally, the subspace biological shield was breached as a ripple, and the chaotic power of the human-faced centipede flowed and pulsed continuously, attempting to re-condense the biological shield.

But obviously this will take a long time, enough time for me to take it down!

He unleashed all his skills, even employing the Limit Seventy-Two Slashes!
While I was attacking, my mind wandered and I thought of something else.

Players who have played Star Abyss know that the subspace is a non-material universe, an infinite space constructed from psionic energy. However, the subspace is closely related to the material world, with its coordinates anchored, just like a spiritual shadow of the material world.

and so……

This human-faced centipede is a creature from the warp, so it's understandable that it has a warp-like protective shield.

What about the flying dragon?

Why do Zerg Tier 7 units also have warp shields?

Does this mean that the origin of the Zerg swarm is actually the subspace? Is the subspace their true home?
If we understand it this way, how do we explain the tenth-tier insect king, the Great Devourer, that suddenly appeared in the Everfrost Frozen Soil?

According to the Red Dragon Kingdom's detection report, the Great Devourer existed on the mother planet as far back as prehistoric times. Therefore, the Great Devourer originally came from the subspace and then lay dormant on the mother planet for tens of thousands of years.
So, could this Great Devourer be connected to the Overlord of the Warp, the legendary Chaos God?

The more I think about it, the more upset I get.

Damn, the universe is so big and complex, and I am so insignificant!

Never mind, let's kill this bastard in front of us first!

……

"Crack!"

The power sword finally cleaved through the centipede's armor, and the flesh beneath convulsed and twitched. The muscles beneath the armor looked like thick earthworms, constantly undulating.

“Zizi~~”

After its defenses were breached, the centipede with the human face became even more enraged.

But it was no use; it was being targeted by tactics, and all its anger was just impotent rage.

"drop!"

A message came from Ruolin: "Ding Han, things are going well on our end. How's it going on your end?"

"It's going quite smoothly. I've taken on a task and I'm working on it now."

"Then you can't go home tonight. Has Ying'er urged you to go home?"

"No, my Yingbao is always sensible and won't disrupt my strategy."

"Ugh... Yingbao!!!"

"Oh, right, Ruolin."

I laughed and said, "I've just finished a book called Power Sword Storm. I'll give it to you when I get back."

"Wow, a Power Sword Storm?!"

Ruolin immediately became excited: "Great! Great! I have Power Sword Storm too! Hahahaha~~~"

"Look at you, so pathetic!"

I was speechless for a moment, then continued with the walkthrough.

……

Soon after, accompanied by a miserable scream from the centipede with a human face, all of its health bars were finally depleted.

At the very moment of its death, its physical body began to crumble, and a purple chaotic aura rose up, as if it were returning its body to the subspace.

Subspace creatures do not have physical bodies; they only possess spiritual power, and therefore, they are essentially annihilated upon death.

Two bells rang in my ears; the feeling of defeating the golden BOSS was as exhilarating as ever.

[Congratulations! You have defeated the Hunter (Cataclysmic S8 Gold BOSS) and obtained the item: BOSS Ability Crystal x1!]

[Battle Notification: You have defeated the "Hunter" (Cataclysmic S8 Gold BOSS), gaining 16000000 character experience points. The Elemental Furnace extracted 8000000 experience points!]

……

A golden treasure chest appeared in my hands, and I opened it with great excitement. [Congratulations! Your [BOSS Ability Crystal] has been successfully opened, yielding the following items: [Storm Core] (S-rank special item), [Dungeon Key] (quest item)!]

Great, you got excited for nothing.

Not a single feather was spilled, but a storm core specifically designed for killing was dropped.

In addition, there is a quest item: the dungeon key.

This task is quite simple and straightforward. The main objective is to rescue people, and to do that, you need a key. The key is on the golden BOSS, the Hunter. You must kill the BOSS to rescue people; there's no room for cheating.

I looked at the time and it was already early morning.

So he carried his power sword and continued deeper into the cave.

The tunnels inside the mountain were very winding. After walking for nearly ten minutes, the area finally opened up ahead, with lights powered by psionic energy hanging on the walls, their blue glow shimmering.

At the very end of the cave, a dungeon appeared.

The dungeon was cold and damp. Inside, a disheveled old woman was imprisoned. She wore a tattered dress and held a red gem that shimmered like starlight in her arms.

The gem was huge, about the size of a corncob.

"Young man, you've finally arrived."

The moment she saw me walk in carrying the power sword, she suddenly burst into tears and said, "I can finally see the light of day again, I can finally see the light of day again."

"Wait a minute...you're Alice?"

"That's right, I am Alice."

"That's not right..."

I took out my journal, opened it to the first page, pointed to the little girl's portrait, and said, "Look at yourself, do you think you are this little girl?"

"I……"

She suddenly became furious: "You brat, do you know how long I've been imprisoned here in the subspace? A full sixty years! Don't people get old?"

"what?"

I was a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, Grandma Alice, I didn't think that far ahead, but I still have some doubts."

"You little rascal, you're quite cautious."

Alice, clutching the gemstone, smiled with narrowed eyes and sat back down on the rock: "It seems you won't let me out until you know the truth. Ask away, what are your doubts?"

"You've been detained here for sixty years. What have you been eating and drinking on? And how have you managed to spread this manuscript to the outside world?"

"This is simple."

Alice whistled, and immediately a titmouse and a python emerged from a crevice in the rocks behind her.

"I can communicate with animals' minds and even command them."

I thought to myself, "Wow, that's awesome!" and continued, "The journal says you're imprisoned here by a Chaos Demon from the Warp. So why did the Chaos Demon imprison you?"

"because……"

A cold glint flashed in her eyes as she sneered, "I am a warp witch..."

A chill ran through me, and the power sword in my hand regained its brilliance.

"Hahahaha~~~"

Alice pointed at me and laughed, saying, "You brat, you can't take a joke. Okay, although I am a witch who has mastered a part of the power of the warp, I am still a human. I awakened my psionic powers when I was very young and saw many things that others cannot see, so I came to Dragonblight to find this."

She held up the red corn cob in her hand.

"what is this?"

"Dragon Crystal".

Alice said, "I discovered that dragon crystals can suppress the power of chaos gods, so I came here to find dragon crystals in order to deal with the subspace. This angered the chaos gods of the subspace, so they sent servants to imprison me here."

She looked around and said calmly, "This cell is cursed. All my spiritual power is sealed, and I can't use any power. I can only be bound here and miss the best years of my life."

"Alright, stop talking, you're so pathetic."

I took out the dungeon key and opened the dungeon directly.

At the same time, open the list of burst skills and be ready to be invincible at any time.

It's always good to keep something in reserve.

……

"Click..."

The cell door opened, and Grandma Alice walked out carrying the Dragon Crystal.

She was a little excited.

"Hey kid, what's your name?"

"Ding Han".

"Strange name, but I'll remember you. I owe you a favor."

She took a deep breath and said, "Let's go, let's leave here. There are still many things to do."

"Ok."

I verbally agreed, but secretly I was grumbling to myself.

Grandma Alice is over 70 years old and nearing the end of her life, and it's quite interesting that she says she still has so many things to do.

……

Alice walked in front, while I brought up the rear with my power sword.

As a result, the farther Alice was from the dungeon, the stronger the deep blue psionic glow around her became.

Finally, a deep blue domain formed around her, and bathed in the blue light, she began to gradually change. Her wrinkles disappeared, her hunched body straightened again, her skin became fair and tender, her white hair turned flaxen, her legs became long and snow-white, and she became curvaceous. In just a few seconds, she transformed into a charming young woman.
