Gao Wu: After transforming into a soft girl, I became a calamity?

【Mist Demon】Ranked 26th, logically speaking, with such a high rank, even without any eye-catching mechanism, its own value should be quite outstanding.

But it has none of those.

Or rather, the individual [Mist Demon] is not very strong.

However, after reaching the seventh tier, it can unlock a skill called [Curse Stacking].

If multiple seventh-tier [Mist Demons] come together, one can be used as the main body, and the power of the other individuals can be overlapped to form a chimera.

Chimeras can not only inherit the special curses of all individuals and repair the state of the main host, but also have a 50% chance of creating a brand new and powerful curse.

Such a high trigger probability makes it quite troublesome.

Shen Qiuyu is currently facing this situation.

When the attack suddenly came from the fog, she didn't dare to take it head-on, but instead dodged to the side.

Although he has broken through to the seventh level, his body has not yet fully adapted and consolidated because the time has been too short.

Faced with a seventh-level attack, Shen Qiuyu still risks being instantly killed.

She needs time, but the other party clearly won't give her that chance.

A ferocious skeletal giant wolf pounced directly on the falling, rotting giant bird and devoured its mangled body.

"Snap! Snap!"

The sound of bones cracking echoed in the silent mist.

As the "nutrients" entered its mouth, the aura of the skeletal giant wolf gradually increased.

The obvious cracks on the bones repaired themselves automatically, and the surface changed from rough and yellow to warm and white.

When it first appeared, it was only at the early stage of the seventh rank, but after the stacking was completed, it directly reached the middle stage.

Shen Qiuyu's eyes narrowed, and he did not act rashly.

This giant skeletal wolf is clearly a "Mist Demon" with "Netherworld" as its host. The fusion of wind and fire means who knows what kind of curse it might unleash.

There was also a redbone giant nearby, probably the remains of some kind of [Slaughter] calamity, essentially also a [Mist Demon].

Beside its head, a figure in black robes with its face covered stood quietly.

Four Rank 7 beings, three of whom are [Mist Demons]!

This is troublesome...

Shen Qiuyu couldn't help but furrow her brows.

"Calamity, Captain, so much calamity!"

In the mental health channel, Lin Qianwen's voice was tinged with sobs.

Even though she was a seasoned veteran, she was still just an eighteen-year-old girl at heart, and seeing such a scene made her feel apprehensive.

Shen Qiuyu paused for a moment, then calmly gave the order:

"Remove the buff."

Upon hearing this, the three of them exclaimed in unison:

"What? Captain, you wouldn't..."

Listen to me.

Shen Qiuyu remained unmoved and firmly stated:

"Run south right now, and don't look back. I'll hold them off."

"team leader……"

Lin Qianwen wanted to say something more, but Nangong Ling cut off the communication.

She turned around, and before she could react, the two men carried her away.

"call--"

Seeing that they obeyed her orders, Shen Qiuyu breathed a slight sigh of relief, then focused her attention and observed the movements on the other side.

As she entered this wasteland, she felt a chill run down her spine.

However, due to limited sensory abilities, they were unable to detect anything unusual.

Now that he has broken through to the seventh level, Shen Qiuyu finally understands when he encounters such a scene again.

The other party is probably after her.

While the horde of zombies below was terrifying in scale, only a small portion of them had a calamity sequence of less than one hundred, and even fewer had a high-level sequence.

As long as they retreat quickly enough, given their strength, there shouldn't be any problems.

"Snap, snap!"

The skeletal giant wolf continued to stack curses, but this time its target was the red bone giant beside it.

We can't let them succeed!

Shen Qiuyu was well aware of the seriousness of the matter.

Now that her teammates have all left, the worst outcome is that she'll be left behind, so she might as well go all out.

She slightly raised her hand, gathering all the available fire elements and catalyzing them to their maximum potential.

A golden glow emanated from the gaps in his power armor, and the high temperature generated by its full operation caused the surrounding air to distort slightly.

Her equipment is equivalent to a top-tier four-star alien artifact, whose main functions are to store elements, improve endurance, and enhance burst damage.

It was sufficient at the sixth rank, but now that I've advanced to the seventh rank, it seems to be struggling to keep up with my full power.

But she couldn't care less about that now; all she wanted to do was stop it from continuing to devour her.

"boom!"

As the fire element was compressed to its limit, Shen Qiuyu's body was suddenly launched forward, and the flame feather robe on his body rapidly expanded, transforming into a pair of flame wings that blotted out the sky.

The skeletal giant wolf remained in its devouring posture, completely ignoring her.

But Shen Qiuyu understood that the other party was currently unable to stop or move.

The figure in black robes beside him glanced sideways, his hood being lifted by a sudden wave of heat.

Although it was only for a moment, Shen Qiuyu could see it clearly with his current strength.

It was a withered face, with two blackened blood holes where the eyes should be, and the whole person looked like a tattered scarecrow.

"not good!"

Shen Qiuyu glanced at the little figure in its hand and her expression changed drastically.

The strange man raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and then inserted a rusty iron nail into the little man.

"Pfft—cough cough!"

Shen Qiuyu suddenly felt a sharp pain, as if his body had been stabbed through, but there was not a single wound on his body.

"This guy is... Sequence 21, [Cursed Puppet]!"

This calamity has an extremely long cast time before unleashing its curse, and requires either gathering the opponent's aura on the spot or directly taking an attack.

The reason that guy didn't attack while she was waiting for her teammates to retreat was because he was making a cursed doll!

Shen Qiuyu couldn't help but show a troubled expression.

A cursed doll can launch three attacks. Her spirit is more resilient than others, so she should be able to withstand it.

There's no time left.

The mist demon is unable to move and its defense is greatly reduced, making it a good opportunity to attack.

Moreover, if they were to be stacked together, the consequences would likely be quite severe!

"Never mind! Let's attack it first!"

Almost instantly, Shen Qiuyu made a decision.

Her expression hardened, and she contracted her domain.

Before the buff faded, Shen Qiuyu used up nearly half of her mental energy in one go and quickly conjured an orange-gold fireball.

When the elements were compressed to their limit, Shen Qiuyu pushed them outwards with both hands.

"Bang!"

The flames, like blooming lotus flowers, completely enveloped the giant skeletal wolf and spread in all directions, creating ripples of fire.

This is the sixth-tier skill of [Heavenly Fire] – [Burning Heaven].

Its sole effect is to deal massive finishing damage to opponents with the "pure" attribute.

For example, the calamities associated with the [Death] path.

Their power is essentially death energy, and they are activated by curses. They are precisely within this range and rank first.

In addition, there are other paths in order such as [All Spirits], [Slaughter], and [War].

However, against opponents with complex power structures such as [Elements] and [Radiance], it's just a firework of pure physical damage.

Of course, hitting someone still hurts.

"Buzz!"

Just then, the Cursed Puppet launched its second attack.

"Ugh!"

Shen Qiuyu clutched her head in agony, feeling as if her brain had been churned up, and almost lost consciousness.

But the next second, a familiar mental connection was formed, transferring most of her pain away.

Shen Qiuyu was startled.

Why didn't you leave?

"I'm sorry, Captain, we really..."

Before Lin Qianwen could finish speaking, she was interrupted by a roar.

"Chu tide, fire!"

"Hahaha, you're all going to die!"

Shen Qiuyu's eye twitched, knowing that now was not the time to pursue this matter, and he did not waste any words.

She looked up at the location of the explosion.

A skeletal monster with a human head and a wolf's body emerged from the explosion as if taking a leisurely stroll, exuding an aura of the peak of the seventh rank.

"broken!"

Just as Shen Qiuyu felt a sense of foreboding, a bolt of black lightning shot out from the monster's hand, stabbing towards her like a sharp sword!

At the same time, it felt like something had stabbed her heart, and all her muscles instantly froze.

This is the third attack by the Cursed Puppet!

"Boom!"

Just as the lightning was about to engulf her, a deafening roar came from the mist above.

"This is?!"

Shen Qiuyu's eyes widened.

A massive, astonishingly thick bolt of icy blue lightning descended from the sky, instantly engulfing the [Cursed Puppet] and the now-combined [Mist Demon].
