Abyss Sequence

Chapter 51: Narrow Escape from Death


The entrance and exit area of the Illusionary Underground Palace connecting to the Blue Star is a barren desert, dotted with sparse dead trees and date palms, even rocks are a rare sight.

The lightning lizard clawed at the sand, its body suddenly springing upwards from the original spot, its limbs clinging to its torso and tail, it hovered above the sand, swiftly chasing Yan Luo.

As a demon capable of controlling electricity, the lightning lizard naturally possessed the ability of magnetic levitation, though at a lower level, this ability could at most slightly reduce its body weight and decrease some wind resistance.

But upon reaching the City-breaking Level, their ability undergoes earth-shattering changes.

For instance, at this moment, the lightning lizard is using magnetic levitation to float itself, cutting between its magnetic field and the earth's magnetic field, reaching the level of 'flight.'

"Damn! It's a lightning lizard!"

After comparing the figure in the database and surveillance footage, the technician in the outpost cried out.

For modern technology, the lightning lizard is a formidable demon to deal with, as their electricity-manipulating superpower precisely counters the technology system which primarily relies on electricity as the main energy source.

Apart from deflection shields, the magnetic field of the lightning lizard also provides defense against bullet shots.

Electromagnetic railguns have minimal effects on such demons and can even have their projectiles controlled back against the railgun.

In this era, guided missiles are even more precise equipment, and the lightning lizard just needs a slight move to disable them.

As for space-based weapons, dealing with the lightning lizard is exceedingly challenging.

Because the lightning lizard is a small-sized demon with extremely fast reflexes, making it difficult for space-based weapons to hit the target.

Fortunately, the lightning lizard is, after all, the unique demon of the Illusionary Underground Palace, and the outpost, serving as the armed force to guard the Crimson Abyss-Illusionary Underground Palace entrance, has its countermeasures.

The electromagnetic railguns quickly folded away, even the two damaged ones were no exception.

The turret platform sank, revealing a pitch-black underground cavity, where the rumbling sound of metal echoed.

Moments later, five traditional cannons emerged from the underground cavity, blocking in front of the outpost.

These cannons use traditional gunpowder shells, and the warheads have undergone special demagnetization treatment, making it difficult for the lightning lizard to defend against.

Fire burst from the cannon muzzles in quick succession, shells blasted out, shattering the sound barrier and heading straight for the lightning lizard.

The lightning lizard assumed these shells would still be under its control, so it immediately scattered electromagnetic forces, intending to repeat its old trick.

Unexpectedly, the shells were only slightly affected, with a slight reduction in kinetic energy, directly hitting the lizard's body.

Or rather, the deflection shield that enveloped its body.

Although its body wasn't directly hit, and it wasn't injured, the unexpected shelling was enough to make it furious.

A clap of thunder suddenly echoed across the sky, the lightning lizard drew a thunderbolt, striking at the distant outpost.

At that moment, Yan Luo suddenly turned around, stomped on the motorcycle, and used the momentum to leap up.

He pulled a heat axe from the weapon box, swung his arm in a wide arc, aiming it at the lightning lizard's head.

Having just deployed a long-distance lightning attack, coupled with squandering Magic Power in the Illusionary Underground Palace, the lightning lizard couldn't launch another electric strike on Yan Luo. Fortunately, besides electric strikes, it could still manipulate electromagnetic forces.

However, Yan Luo had already guessed what it wanted to do.

Before the magnetic force could lift him, clad in an exoskeleton, Yan Luo decisively pressed the [emergency release] button, quickly conducting three confirmations.

In mid-air, the exoskeleton that wrapped around his body suddenly disassembled, countless components exploded outward, leaving nothing on Yan Luo except the heat axe and goggles.

The lightning lizard, as a City-breaking Level demon, is immensely powerful. It can even directly interfere with human magnetic fields, using bioelectricity to harm living organisms.

But Yan Luo is not an ordinary person; his physical prowess had been honed through numerous demon meals, relentless training, and countless life-and-death battles, becoming incredibly strong.

A mere bioelectric disturbance—

A mere magnetic field disarray—

How could these bring him down!

"Yah——"

Yan Luo roared as he descended from the sky, vigorously swinging the axe at the lightning lizard's head.

The lightning lizard also exerted all its strength to manipulate the magnetic field, stopping the heat axe made of metal.

Then, Yan Luo's other hand pressed on the back of the axe.

His fingers and palm were instantly scalded by the high temperature, blisters formed just to burst immediately, and at a more minute level, cell tissues ruptured in sequence, and his blood temperature rose rapidly.

Yan Luo ignored it, the muscles of his arm and back bulged instantly, like flood dragons rushing beneath the skin, making him erupt with a Demon God-like immense force in an instant.

Enduring the powerful magnetic field's counterforce, Yan Luo pushed the heat-melt axe down.

"Die for me!!!"

The internal structure of the heat-melt axe was destroyed by the electric current, but the high temperature clinging to the axe blade wouldn't dissipate immediately.

Amid the roar, the heat-melt axe was driven into the electric lizard's eyeball.

The electric lizard couldn't control the electric current and magnetic force and fell from the air, Yan Luo seized the opportunity to press his body onto it, using his weight to continue pressing the heat-melt axe.

"Ah!!" The electric lizard screamed miserably, its body twisting and struggling.

Dazzling electric currents continuously flowed from its body, pouring into Yan Luo, causing his muscles to spasm, hormones to disrupt, brain matter and blood to boil, vision flickering.

Yan Luo clenched his teeth, released his left hand from the axe's back, and fiercely pounded down with his fist.

The electric lizard's eye was similarly fragile; under the heat-melt axe's scorching, the eyeball was directly burned, and the destructive force spread along the optic nerve to the electric lizard's brain.

His fist acted like a hammer, pinning the heat-melt axe inch by inch into the electric lizard's head.

The electric currents released by the electric lizard made Yan Luo's limbs weak, his body rapidly losing strength.

Before his body was completely destroyed, Yan Luo used the axe blade to cut a small wound on the electric lizard's body, opened his mouth, and bit down hard.

Gulp! Gulp! Gulp! Gulp...

His throat moved, constantly sending the electric lizard's blood into his stomach.

Before long, both Yan Luo and the electric lizard fell silent.

The soldiers at the outpost looked at each other.

"Commander, should we continue the attack?"

When Yan Luo returned to attack the electric lizard, the outpost had ceased fire because if they continued, they'd kill Yan Luo before the electric lizard was dead.

The soldiers didn't understand why Yan Luo ran back; he clearly had no engraving, just an ordinary person, how could he handle a City-breaking Level Demon?

Moreover, they knew Yan Luo killed a City-breaking Level mutated creature by stratagem, yet now he wanted to confront a City-breaking Level Demon head-on — wasn't this courting death?

Ibrahim watched the surveillance footage without speaking.

Yan Luo possessed the wisdom to kill City-breaking Level mutated creatures, highly resilient, capable of escaping pursuit for over twenty hours from one such creature.

This kind of 'hero,' Ibrahim didn't believe he would suddenly lose his sanity.

Immediately, in the surveillance footage, the electric lizard's body unexpectedly dissipated, and everyone witnessed it.

They were taken aback, then there was an uproar.

Dead?

Was a City-breaking Level electric lizard dead?

Fallen at the hands of an ordinary person like Yan Luo?

A feeling named 'disbelief' spread through the outpost, soldiers all stared blankly at the surveillance footage, struggling to believe what their eyes were seeing.

Seeing this scene, Ibrahim instinctively took a deep breath.

Despite having previously considered that Yan Luo might manage to kill the electric lizard, having it unfold before him was still unbelievable.

"Get a few men to rescue Yan Luo for me!" Ibrahim ordered.

An armored vehicle drove out from the outpost, approaching Yan Luo.

Upon closing in on Yan Luo, several soldiers emerged from the vehicle with a folding stretcher, ready to lift Yan Luo onto it.

Just then, Yan Luo, lying on the ground, twitched slightly, startling the soldiers.

Hiss—

Yan Luo took a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes.

He knew his injuries were severe, but he wanted to protect his secrets, relying on this resolve; he quickly roused from unconsciousness.

Pain radiated throughout his body, limbs, organs, and viscera; perhaps because of this, Yan Luo was somewhat numb, not groaning or screaming from the pain.

He slowly bent his arm, arduously propping up his body.

Then, Yan Luo, covered in burnt black, turned to look at the few stunned soldiers, slightly raised the corner of his mouth, and said in a hoarse voice, "Seems... I'm lucky."
