Chapter 19: Chapter 9: Bloody Hide and Seek (Part 2)_3
Tierlos's blood ran cold, as he realized he was about to fail. He was not afraid of death, but he feared failure, because with failure came the loss of everything. The hope of God's descent into the world, the hope of fulfilling his wishes, the hope of reclaiming the past—all the hopes he treasured would soon be forever lost in the darkness!
"Never... Never!!"
In a split second, Tierlos made a decision that could only be described as insane. He immediately abandoned his struggle with Gongsun Ce and turned to run towards where his real body was located. Gongsun Ce instantly turned his telekinesis into ropes, firmly binding the enemy's movements, but even he did not anticipate Tierlos's next action—
Tierlos ripped off his own head and hurled it like a cannonball!
The flesh of the giant dragon worshippers turned into a blurred shadow, as the disintegrating demonic body corroded everything, piercing through the support pillars at the bottom of several bridges at a terrifying speed. Alice had just stepped out from the shadows when she saw three cranes, each weighing thousands of tons, wailing as they lost balance and tilted forward to fall!
Gongsun Ce instantly understood Tierlos's plan. A fall from tens of meters high would undoubtedly deal a heavy blow to Tierlos's true body, but he was determined to hinder Hunter's actions, willing to self-destruct and take Alice out with him. The Shadow Orchid is the Impermanence Skill that moves through shadows, but now all the shadows near Alice were caused by these bridges, making it impossible for her to escape death no matter where she ran!
"Miss Alice!!"
Gongsun Ce genuinely tensed up, projecting his telekinesis forward, but at that moment, he realized that Alice's face showed no sign of panic.
"Ah, how dramatic."
Then, Alice Adar raised her finger.
In an instant, an endless array of orchids bloomed on the side of the bridges, with Shadow Orchid taking over the shaded side of the three bridges, adorning the metal behemoths as if they were ruins covered in vegetation in a fairy tale forest!
"Shadow Orchid, misdirected teleport."
Thousands of blue blossoms bloomed at once, their grand blue light even overshadowing the setting sun.
In a flash, followed by three loud crashes, dust billowed.
The massive bridges crumbled as heaps of metal appeared twisted in the shadows all across the docks, under the force of spatial teleportation, like a modern industrial art exhibit. Only the parts belonging to the control cabins were deliberately preserved, crashing down dozens of meters behind Alice.
Alice casually shot three arrows, and after three light sounds of glass breaking, Tierlos stopped moving. The ugly and twisted alien form dissolved amid trembles, collapsing to the ground like mud, becoming a literal pile of dead flesh.
Alice flicked her long hair with flair, "Now do you believe I'm an expert, big sister?"
Gongsun Ce unnoticeably dissipated the telekinesis rescue ropes and clapped, "Impressive. Using teleportation ability to attack the opponent's true body can be a more terrifying force than any physical attack. Compared to Tierlos's disintegrating demonic body, your Shadow Orchid truly deserves the description of a one-hit kill."
"Eh?!" Alice obviously didn't expect such straightforward praise, and after a moment of shock, she patted her chest with pride, "Of course, I am very strong~"
"But," Gongsun Ce pushed his glasses up, his tone growing more serious, "have you considered what would happen if you didn't have enough strength to destroy all the bridges?"
Alice's long hair shimmered in the orange-red sunlight. Hunter turned back to him with a sly smile, "I'm trusting that you would protect me."
Gongsun Ce remembered the dissipated telekinesis rescue rope and frowned, "Miss Alice, you're a mature member of society now, I must say that kind of tone no longer suits your age."
Alice immediately became infuriated, "I've changed my mind; I should take you down first, you damn brat!!"
"Look at that."
The two bantered as they walked towards the blood-stained wreckage of the control cabin.
The battle had come to an end.
