My Avatar is Becoming the Ultimate BOSS-Chapter 70 - 059: True Name
Chapter 70: Chapter 059: True Name
Another Spider Demon descended from the theater wall, its face twisted and charging towards the King’s Statue. It moved with all eight legs, crawling as swiftly as a fleeting shadow, with a blood-red trail at the corner of its eye in the darkness.
As it crawled, the human face embedded in the spider’s head spun continuously, like a windmill.
A chilling wind surged towards it, but the King’s Statue stood quietly in place, isolated and unprotected.
If the King’s Statue were to be destroyed, the mysterious protection granted to Ji Minghuan would also disappear. This would mean losing a layer of security, significantly increasing the risk of death.
Twin Demons... The character’s memory mentioned this situation before. Thinking of this, Ji Minghuan raised his hand and touched the Black and White Ring Road beside him, and suddenly, shadows surged forward from the pathway.
[ The power of the Contracted Demon "Shadow Demon" has been unleashed. ]
"Shadow Demon," this was the first demon Xia Pingzhou contracted upon advancing to a first-tier Exorcist. This demon can temporarily pull any object around the Exorcist into the shadow beneath his feet.
Thus, the Shadow Demon swiftly flew out from the Black and White Ring Road, slipped into the ground, and in a blink appeared at the feet of the King.
"Heh heh heh..."
The Shadow Demon chuckled lowly, lifting its shadowy arms to drag the King beneath it into the shadow, the two figures immersing as if in a pool of blackness.
The Spider Demon with the face of a man swept forward with all eight claws but came up empty.
The Spider Demon looked down, its blood-red eyes gazing towards the shadow beneath it. There, the King’s Statue’s outline and the Shadow Demon’s crimson smile could be seen.
As if mocking it.
At this moment, the Queen’s Statue tapped the edge of a scarlet audience seat with her toe and leaped violently towards it.
The Spider Demon squinted, its six legs twisting and knotting together oddly, with each claw consolidating into a bloom, a blooming carnivorous flower whose every petal was made of sharp claw blades. Amidst a deafening hum, the claw blades spun fiercely.
Using its remaining two legs, it strode forward to meet the Queen’s Statue’s blade.
Observing this scene from a chessboard perspective, Ji Minghuan ordered the Queen’s Statue: "Nihilization."
While saying this, he turned his body sideways, activating the camera mode on his phone.
Adjusting the selfie camera, he aimed to capture the Spider Demon’s grotesque face in the background, along with the majestic silhouette of the Queen’s Statue as she lunged forward.
Pressing the capture button, with a "click," the flash lit up the darkness.
In an instant, the Queen’s massive form became entirely transparent.
As if it were not a physical entity, she passed through the center of the "carnivorous flower," overlapping with the Spider Demon’s figure for a moment, before reaching its rear.
An expression of surprise appeared on the Spider Demon’s face, as if it hadn’t realized what had happened.
Behind it, the Queen reversed her grip on the dagger, turned sideways, her arm swirling in the air, and stabbed the long dagger into the demon’s back, creating an opening.
With a "squelch," the dagger pierced through the demon’s heart from behind.
The Queen’s Statue gripped the dagger with both hands, vigorously twisting it, the sharp blade rotating within the demon’s body.
Thus, she mercilessly minced the Spider Demon’s heart into a blood foam.
Amidst the sound of rushing water, black blood continuously flowed out from the hollow in its chest. It roared, collapsing into the pool of blood, eyes hollow. Its tangled limbs slowly unfurled, falling by its side like wilted branches.
The Queen confirmed the demon’s death, then turned her head to look to the other side.
Three Black Iron Soldiers were slashing at the spider cocoon on the ground, one sword after another. Sword edges pierced the sticky webs, and the other Spider Demon within the cocoon naturally could not survive. With a tragic cry, filthy blood seeped out, staining the ruined cocoon.
Thus, the two Spider Demons in Roppongi EX Theater were completely annihilated.
Without even looking up, Ji Minghuan had already seen this clearly through the chessboard perspective.
He glanced at the photo taken on his phone and opened an app to do some editing.
The Queen’s Statue swung her dagger briskly, shaking off the filthy black blood from the blade, before slowly walking back towards Ji Minghuan, her posture still regal and tall despite the recent battle.
Ji Minghuan turned his body slightly, noting the Queen stood a full two heads taller than him. He flipped the screen, slightly raised the phone, and showed her the selfie he just took.
"Did I capture you unbecomingly?" he asked curiously, looking up.
The Queen’s Statue was momentarily stunned as if she hadn’t expected her Lord to ask such a question. She then bowed her head, her slender eyes burning with a cold flame, scrutinizing the selfie on the phone screen.
She pondered with her chin in her hand for a while, then shook her head, indicating satisfaction with the photo.
"If it doesn’t look good, you can be honest," Ji Minghuan said nonchalantly. "I’m still learning."
Having no phone to play with at the Welfare Institute, and never having tried taking photos with one, he found it a novel and interesting experience. If possible, he wishes to travel the world with Kong Youling someday and take many beautiful pictures along the way.
The Queen’s Statue shook her head again, her expression earnest.
"Ah, that’s good then," Ji Minghuan said.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps echoed within the theater, accompanied by the clinking of armor. Three Black Iron Soldiers approached, slowly laying down swords stained with black blood on the ground, their knees bent, waiting for instructions at his feet.
At this moment, a series of notification panels slowly appeared before Ji Minghuan’s eyes, with a chessboard as the background.
[ Two C-level demons killed detected, second character’s Character Exclusive Cultivation System "Winter of the Wild Hunt" task updated — Kills: 1→3. ]
[ Current task progress: Kill "3/10" super species or demons. ]
[ Current progress of the second character’s Celestial Driver "International Chess": 45%/100% (Upon reaching one hundred percent, your Celestial Driver will automatically evolve into a second-tier form, allowing you to contract with a brand-new demon to comprehensively enhance the Celestial Driver’s abilities) ]
[ Card event "Spider Dancer on Roppongi EX Theater" completed. ]
[ One Event Card obtained as a reward: "Twins on Stage," card added to your library. ]
Ji Minghuan brought up the system panel, pressed the "Event Card Library" option, and clicked on the card in the first row of the card slot page.
The card’s description interface popped up.
[ Event Card Name: Twins on Stage ]
[ Event Card Effect: If the player has a twin brother, this card can immediately teleport your twin brother to your side and provide him with a temporary attribute boost. ]
[ Tip: Selling this Event Card can be exchanged for a total of "1" Skill Point. ]
After looking at the card effect, Ji Minghuan stayed silent for half a second, then moved his fingers.
[ Event Card sold, exchanged for "1" Skill Point. ]
"Killing demons can advance the cultivation system’s progress and accelerate the Celestial Driver’s evolution speed. It seems I shouldn’t stay idle; this character needs to find some small monsters to grind," Ji Minghuan shrugged, thinking as he raised his hand to touch the Black and White Ring Road.
Afterwards, the Soldier Statue, Chariot Statue, and King’s Statue within the theater all turned into chess pieces and returned to the pathway, with only the Queen’s Statue remaining by his side, motionless.
He placed his left hand in his pocket, playing with his phone in his right, and stepped through the darkness towards the exit of Roppongi Theater. The Queen’s Statue followed.
Before long, Ji Minghuan suddenly stopped, lifting his head to see a silhouette by the door. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
She wore a khaki trench coat, a rustic hat, and an old-fashioned monocle over her left eye, with its chain linked to the coat’s collar.
Ke Qirui leaned her back against the wall, her left hand crossed over her chest, with a pipe in the other. She quietly smoked, her side face enveloped in the dim light streaming through the entrance.
After a long silence, she lowered her eyes and spoke to break it: "If you have time... I’d like to talk with you."
After a pause, Ke Qirui lifted her head, meeting Ji Minghuan’s gaze, and slowly uttered a name:
"Xia Pingzhou."
