LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 121: Chapter 121: Is This Guy Even Human?!
Boom—!
A heavy punch slammed into the shield.
An invisible force, like a wild horse breaking free, roared out instantly.
A fraction of a second later—
Crack—!
A sharp cracking sound rang out.
Spiderweb-like cracks spread rapidly from the point of impact, covering the entire surface in the blink of an eye.
Then, as if it were fragile glass, the shield shattered with a loud explosion, scattering countless fragments of light into the air.
Everyone stared in disbelief at the incomprehensible scene.
The shield that even cannons couldn't damage had been shattered by a single punch!
Land Eater's massive body reeled backward, its four massive legs stumbling to regain balance. Its targeting systems faltered, and the bombs it had launched flew wildly in all directions.
Meanwhile, its exposed red core was now completely visible.
This is it!
Mo Chen didn't pause for a second. Using the remaining momentum, he dove straight toward the core.
Dragging the screaming Papillon with him, he plunged like a bullet from the sky.
His arm bulged again, muscles swelling even further before he unleashed another devastating punch straight at the exposed red core.
Boom—!
The punch, as heavy as a cannon blast, smashed into the core.
The violent impact sent shockwaves rippling outward.
Crack—!
The core, which was tougher than titanium armor, developed visible cracks!
"Roar—!"
The Rapture let out a thunderous bellow, enraged by the critical hit. Its massive head turned toward Mo Chen, jaws wide open as it lunged to devour him in one bite.
Auto Dodge—Activated!
Mo Chen's body shifted mid-air, sidestepping the lethal bite by mere centimeters.
He landed on one of the massive gun barrels protruding from its shell, using it as a foothold to launch himself into the air again.
In mid-flight, he flipped and dove back down like a bullet, his speed surpassing ten times the speed of sound.
Boom—!
Land Eater's head smashed into the ground with an earth-shattering impact!
Its enormous body followed, slamming into the earth and creating a massive crater hundreds of meters wide.
Mo Chen landed firmly on its head.
He turned to Papillon and said, "Throw the nuke."
Papillon, dizzy from being dragged around like a rag doll, nearly lost her footing and fell.
Snapping back to her senses after hearing his words, her heart was filled with disbelief and shock.
Is this guy a monster? He's stronger than a Nikke! Not even the legendary first-generation fairy-tale Nikkes were this insane!
She seriously doubted whether he was even human.
Still dazed, she hesitated for half a second.
But in that brief pause, Land Eater's massive body suddenly jerked upward.
It let out a deafening roar as the gun barrels on its back began glowing red.
The next moment—
A barrage of bombs, high-explosive shells, and high-energy particle beams erupted in all directions!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The entire area was instantly engulfed in flames, turning into a blazing inferno.
Mo Chen had already sensed the danger. Grabbing Papillon by the wrist, he quickly pulled her out of the blast zone.
The Rapture, now on the brink of death, went berserk like a rabid dog. Countless bombs and shells rained down without restraint, indiscriminately bombarding the entire area. Its high-energy particle cannons swept through the battlefield, leaving nothing but devastation in their wake.
The surrounding Raptures were instantly annihilated. Under the relentless barrage of explosives and particle beams, they were reduced to ashes.
Mo Chen maneuvered midair, gliding and weaving through the storm of attacks.
But the density of the bombardment was too high, forming a deadly net. Even with the evasion chip's assistance, it was impossible to dodge everything completely.
Papillon's heart was pounding in her throat, her body drenched in cold sweat.
This time, it wasn't Mo Chen holding her—it was her clinging tightly to him, terrified of being thrown off and ending up like the Raptures below, blasted to pieces.
Before long, Land Eater locked onto Mo Chen's movements.
It harbored a deep grudge against him for the damage he had inflicted. Redirecting nearly all its cannons, it aimed directly at him.
Its particle cannon began charging again, glowing with lethal energy as it prepared to fire.
It was ready to reduce Mo Chen to dust.
But he had been waiting for this moment.
He raised his hand and swung it down—
A Slap!
Smack—!
The Land Eater was hit.
Not physically, but mentally.
Using psychic energy, he stunned Land Eater, throwing it into momentary disarray.
Its attacks abruptly stopped.
Seizing the opportunity, Mo Chen dove straight toward Land Eater's gaping mouth.
Without hesitation, he flung Papillon forward.
Papillon: "…?"
"…?!!!"
Her eyes widened in shock midair, her expression filled with terror.
She flailed, looking back toward Mo Chen in disbelief, anger, and fear.
Is this guy even a man?!
He just threw her out like that—without hesitation!
Wait… Could it be—
Her identity had been exposed?
The thought flashed through her mind, draining all color from her face.
Fear gripped her heart.
He's trying to get rid of me!
"Still holding onto it?"
Papillon, lost in panic, froze for a moment after hearing Mo Chen's words.
Then it hit her—she was still clutching the nuke.
She jolted as if electrocuted and threw it away immediately.
A tendril shot out, coiling around her waist and pulling her back up.
Meanwhile, the glowing red nuke tumbled through the air toward its target.
The Land Eater's massive jaws snapped shut—
But instead of biting into something solid, it swallowed the nuke whole...
Beep. Beep. Beep—
The countdown reached zero.
Boom—!
An earth-shattering explosion erupted!
Unrestrained waves of energy tore through the air as a massive mushroom cloud rose into the sky.
Land Eater's head was blasted into pieces.
Its four massive legs were shattered.
Its colossal body, which once resembled a small mountain, collapsed like a pile of broken building blocks, slamming heavily into the ground and scattering debris everywhere.
Crack—!
A sharp sound echoed as the core in its chest shattered completely.
Mo Chen descended from the sky, carrying a pale-faced Papillon in his arms.
She had been dragged through hell and back by Mo Chen. Still shaken and disoriented, her mind was a mess, and her body felt limp and powerless.
Points earned: 20,000.
The rest of the Nikkes rushed over to provide backup.
"Commander!"
"Ah, that's…!"
When they saw the ruins of Land Eater's enormous body, the Nikkes froze in their tracks.
Even though the monster was dead, its massive frame still radiated an overwhelming and suffocating sense of pressure.
What felt even more unreal was the fact that they had actually taken it down.
"Rabbity!"
Alice came running from the distance, leaping straight at Mo Chen.
He let go and casually dropped Papillon, opening his arms just in time to catch Alice.
He then let out a helpless sigh.
"I told you—stop calling me Rabbity."
Papillon, caught off guard, hit the ground hard, landing right on her backside. Her face turned red with anger.
