Chapter 1220
Belaucon's Strength
The three-way battle had only been going on for a short while when the scene became quite comical—the water angel huddled in a corner of the ruins, her massive body curled up in a ball, her head bowed low, barely daring to breathe, the blue aura around her so faint it was almost gone, she didn't even have the courage to move, looking like a child who had done something wrong and was being scolded, a stark contrast to the two people fighting fiercely next to her.
Jack, transformed by Cui Ming, stood out brightly in the dazzling light and shadow. The energy indicator light on his chest flickered slightly, and the Ultra Bracelet on his left wrist gleamed with a faint silver light. He and Belokorn fought fiercely, each punch landing with deadly force, and the entire battlefield trembled under their collision.
Don't get me wrong, it's not that Cui Ming has become weaker! On the contrary, he was going all out the whole time without holding back at all. The reason why the fight was so close is that after Belokorn was resurrected, he absorbed countless resentments, and his strength increased by more than one level!
Although the current Belokorn is still quite far from being the final boss and cannot completely dominate the field, it can at least be considered a general-level being before the boss. It is well-rounded in both offense and defense and is no longer the super beast that could be easily suppressed. Only in this way can it be worthy of facing Jack head-on.
It was precisely because the two were evenly matched that the duel became exceptionally spectacular, even to the point of being "light pollution"—the sky was filled with interwoven light and shadow, so bright that people couldn't open their eyes, and even the smoke was dyed in color by the light.
Jack showed no mercy, unleashing a barrage of beam attacks. He crossed his hands in a cross shape, sending the Specium Ray, a blinding white beam, hurtling towards Belokorn with tremendous power. Occasionally, he would gather energy and unleash Ultra Sparks, light blades transformed from Ultra Bracelets that spun at high speed, cutting through the air and aiming straight for Belokorn's vitals. When he was really into it, he would unleash the Sinerama Ray, swinging his arms in an L-shape and shooting out a beam with double the power, blasting a huge crater into the ground.
Belaukun was not to be outdone. His missile launchers spun wildly, unleashing a barrage of ordinary and multi-missile missiles. The dense swarm of missiles, accompanied by whistling winds, hurtled towards Jack. Occasionally, he would shoot out white beams of light from his fingertips, attempting to restrain Jack in conjunction with binding auras. He even spewed out super-hot waves of heat from his mouth, instantly igniting ruins wherever they passed, sending flames soaring into the sky and making the battlefield even more devastating.
However...
Whether it was because Jack and Beaukorn were too engrossed in their fight and didn't control their attack range, or whether it was intentional, many of their attacks missed their targets and landed precisely in the direction of Setagaya Ward and Chiyoda Ward in Tokyo—the area where high-ranking Self-Defense Force officials reside, including luxury mansions and official residences near the administrative center, all of which were the residences of high-ranking Self-Defense Force officials who had previously planned to reap the benefits.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" A series of violent explosions came from the high-ranking officials' residential area. Flames shot into the sky in an instant. Mansions were blown open and official residences were razed to the ground. Those high-ranking Self-Defense Force officials who were hiding in safe areas and still calculating the subsequent situation probably did not even have time to react before they were affected by this "unexpected" attack and completely became victims of the melee.
Meanwhile, in the center of the battlefield, Jack and Belokorn remained oblivious, locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle. The attacks, a tapestry of light and shadow, grew increasingly intense, with occasional stray beams of light or missiles deviating from their course and continuing their trajectory toward the residences of high-ranking Self-Defense Force officers. In contrast, the Water Angel, huddled in a corner, trembled with fear at the sight of the indiscriminate barrage of light and shadow and the distant explosions. She didn't even have the courage to look up, lest she be caught in the crossfire of this "indiscriminate attack."
Those high-ranking Self-Defense Force officials hiding in mansions and official residences were terrified when they heard the explosions in the distance. Some frantically tried to crawl into basements, while others tried to escape by car. But they were too naive—unfortunately, they couldn't escape.
Jack and Beaukorn's attack was too powerful, with a wide range of impact. Whether it was the basement or the fleeing vehicles, they were all instantly swallowed up by the barrage of light and missiles, with no one spared. In the end, they could only die, without even having a proper scream before they were completely reduced to ashes. This was the price they paid for their previous greed and scheming.
Meanwhile, the Water Angel, witnessing the carnage of the high-ranking officials' residential area in the distance, and seeing Jack and Belaucon locked in a fierce battle with lights and shadows filling the sky, was overcome by its survival instinct. No longer daring to cower in the corner and await its death, it stealthily moved its massive body, crawling along the ground, inching forward, preparing to slip away unnoticed. As it crawled, it cried out in its mind, a mixture of grievance and fear: "Mommy! I want to go home!!! I don't want to play anymore!!! These two are no good! One is more ferocious than the other, one is more ruthless than the other. If I stay here any longer, they'll beat me to death sooner or later!"
It crawled cautiously, barely daring to breathe, trying to keep its body low to the ground, afraid of being discovered by Jack and Belokorn. But it had only crawled less than three meters when a figure suddenly appeared behind it—Jack, in his transformed form, hadn't been paying full attention to Belokorn and had already noticed its little movements.
Jack grabbed the water angel's tentacles with such force that he almost snapped them off. Then, like picking up a chick, he pulled the water angel back and casually tossed it around. The water angel's massive body arced through the air before crashing heavily onto the ruins. It convulsed in pain, and more red blood seeped out.
After doing all this, Jack didn't even glance at the Water Angel, turning back to continue fighting Belokorn, as if he had just casually dealt with an inconvenient ant, showing no regard for this Third Apostle.
Seeing this, Belaucon's fanaticism intensified. It roared and, disregarding the life or death of the water angel, instantly activated all the missile launchers around it, firing countless missiles. The dense, overwhelming missiles were terrifyingly powerful, each carrying earth-shattering force as they rained down on Jack, as if it wanted to blow him to pieces on the spot.
Faced with the barrage of missiles, Jack, transformed from Cui Ming, showed no panic. His gaze swept over the struggling water angel beside him, and without hesitation, he grabbed the water angel's massive body and held it in front of him—Defense Descent!
The water angel, held in Jack's hand, was stunned as she stared at the dense swarm of missiles hurtling towards her.
You're a fucking beast! You actually used me as a shield! What did I ever do to you?!
Unfortunately, the water angel couldn't say these words; it could only let out a mournful and desperate roar, but it couldn't change its fate in the slightest.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!!!" Countless missiles slammed into the Water Angel, and violent explosions rang out one after another. The flames instantly engulfed the Water Angel's body. Fragments of it flew everywhere, and red blood gushed out. It was instantly half-dead and had no strength left to struggle.
Jack didn't even glance at the dying water angel in his hand, casually tossing it into a nearby pile of rubble as if discarding a useless piece of trash. Then he turned and charged towards Belokorn again, continuing their exhilarating duel. (End of Chapter)
