Boom—!!!
A huge crater appeared instantly, and gravel flew out like cannonballs!
The violent airwave blew away nearby tents and Hilichurl remains!
However, Skirk’s figure, as if it had lost all weight, used the recoil from the water film and the brief moment of stepping on air to rise several meters in an instant, in a light posture that defied physical laws, like a feather blown by the wind!
She floated steadily in mid-air, her clothes fluttering and her silver hair dancing wildly in the air currents stirred by the punch.
The wolf fang sword pointed diagonally downward.
Her cold purple eyes looked down from above, gazing disdainfully at the Geo Hilichurl King in the crater, which was somewhat dazed because its full-force elbow had missed.
“Roar—!!!”
The Geo Hilichurl King was completely enraged.
It suddenly raised its arms, and violent Geo power converged crazily!
A hard meteorite about the size of a small house, Burning with an earthy yellow light, quickly condensed above its head!
The air in the entire settlement seemed to become thick and heavy!
The corner of Skirk’s mouth twitched.
You’re even doing Planet Befall now?
Boom!
The meteorite crashed toward Skirk in mid-air with destructive momentum, like divine punishment!
Facing this double onslaught of overwhelming pressure, Skirk’s eyes didn’t flicker.
She didn’t even look at the whistling meteorite, simply raising her empty left hand calmly.
The Abyssal Power within her, like the most obedient soldiers, instantly constructed a seemingly fragile, rippling deep blue shield in front of her palm.
The structure of the shield was extremely special, with countless tiny, flowing streams of Abyssal Power arranged in a mysterious rhythm, like a living thing.
The meteorite slammed into the deep blue water shield!
The expected earth-shattering explosion did not occur!
That seemingly fragile water shield, at the moment of contact with the meteorite’s terrifying impact, underwent a strange change in its internal structure!
Countless tiny Abyssal Power nodes instantly “hardened” and connected under the immense pressure!
The surface of the shield, which had been flowing like ripples, transformed into a non-Newtonian fluid negative pressure structural layer denser and harder than the toughest alloy within one-ten-thousandth of a second!
Sizzle—Crack!
The massive meteorite was like hitting an invisible Wall of Sighs!
The terrifying kinetic energy it carried was absorbed, dispersed, and neutralized layer by layer by this instantly hardened shield!
The hard surface of the meteorite even made an overburdened cracking sound!
Countless spiderweb-like cracks instantly spread out!
As for the shield itself, it only dented inward slightly before quickly returning to its original state under the flow of Abyssal Power, without even a single ripple expanding!
It felt like a full-force punch hitting a bottomless cold pool; all the power was swallowed up by the seemingly fragile yet infinitely resilient water!
Overcoming hardness with softness, Solid as a rock!
Just as the meteorite was firmly blocked by the shield and its kinetic energy was completely absorbed!
Behind the meteorite, the Geo Hilichurl King’s massive body suddenly appeared.
Following closely, using the meteorite as cover, it leaped high like a cannonball, its massive fist encased in thick rock armor ready to strike, intending to deliver a fatal blow while Skirk was dealing with the meteorite!
The tactic was simple, yet filled with power and pressure!
However…
Buzz—!
Blue light flashed on the shield’s surface!
The instantly hardened structure once again perfectly received this terrifying second strike!
The massive force was evenly distributed across the entire shield structure and then neutralized layer by layer by the flowing Abyssal Power inside!
The Geo Hilichurl King felt as if its punch had hit mystic ice that hadn’t melted for eons.
The counter-shock caused a burst of sharp pain in its thick rock arm!
Its eyes were filled with unbelievable shock!
This tiny creature…
how is it possible?!
Just as its old strength was spent and its new strength had yet to form, and its body was briefly stiffened by the counter-shock—
Skirk moved!
Her left hand, which had held back the meteorite and the giant fist, maintained the shield, but the wolf fang sword in her right hand had already been quietly raised!
At the tip of the Sword, a point of deep blue cold light, so deep it seemed to swallow light, rapidly condensed and compressed!
Her cold gaze locked onto the core weakness on the Geo Hilichurl King’s chest, which was not fully covered by the thick rock armor and was connected to its heart!
“Bye-bye.”
Her cold, mature female voice was like a death sentence.
With a light flick of her wrist, the wolf fang sword was thrust out silently!
There was no earth-shattering momentum, only a condensed, faster-than-lightning blue line of light, like a meteor piercing the night, precisely penetrating the weakest gap in the Geo Hilichurl King’s protective rock armor and sinking into its massive body!
Pfft—!
The Geo Hilichurl King’s massive body suddenly stiffened!
The fierce light in its eyes instantly froze and dissipated!
It let out a low, short mournful cry, like the sound of a rock cracking, and its raised rock fist fell powerlessly.
Following that, countless faint blue cracks spread crazily from where it had been stabbed in the chest, instantly covering its entire body!
Violent Cryo power mixed with the corrosive energy of the Abyss erupted completely from within!
Bang!!!!
Like a mountain collapsing!
The Geo Hilichurl King’s massive body, covered in hard rock armor, exploded from the inside out into countless massive fragments Frozen with faint blue ice crystals!
It was like a giant, beautiful ice flower blooming in the center of the settlement!
The ice crystal fragments mixed with dust crashed to the ground, making a dull sound.
The entire Good Meat Clan settlement fell into a deathly silence.
There was only the crackling of the bonfire and the terrified whimpers of the surviving Hilichurls in the distance.
Skirk slowly descended, the tips of her feet touching the ground as lightly as a feather.
She dispersed the shield in her left hand and the wolf fang sword in her right, the faint blue magic Sword turning into a stream of light and disappearing into an Akasha rift.
She breathed slightly, her silver hair at her temples slightly damp with sweat, clinging to her smooth forehead.
The cold sharpness in her purple eyes had quietly faded, replaced by a hint of relief after completing the task and…
Anticipation for the treasure chest.
This big guy really had some skills; the Abyssal Power in her body was basically depleted.
However, this time was originally meant to test her skills and the shield’s thickness.
The Lawachurl’s movements were clumsy; she could have easily dodged them.
She looked around the messy settlement, her gaze finally locking onto a Precious Chest behind where the Geo Hilichurl King had originally been, half-hidden by a massive rock and emitting an ancient aura.
“This should be it, right?”
A small curve formed at the corner of her mouth as she walked toward the chest.
The lingering aura of battle slowly dissipated around her, leaving only the wind of Dadaupa Gorge blowing at the corners of her clothes, which were stained with a bit of dust and ice shards.
