Chapter 94

Qin Ran's shots hit Kilphen Hedges' head twice in succession. ●⌒

Even the head, which had become incredibly tough after being reborn as a 'Half-Dead', became incomplete under the continuous gunfire.

However, Kilphen Hedges did not die.

【Shooting - Blessed Bullet: You deal 50 points of damage to the opponent. The opponent has the Immunity to Critical Damage and Intermediate Undead Skin skills, which negate 30 points of damage; Blessed Bullet, when facing a creature with negative energy, deals an additional 100 points of damage (judgment passed, automatically identified as a fatal attack), actually dealing 120 points of life damage to the opponent...】

...

Qin Ran's three attacks dealt a total of 350 points of life damage, but it only put the opponent into a severe injury state!

Moreover, this state did not seem to affect Kilphen Hedges.

On the contrary, the Half-Dead in front of him became even more frenzied, as if entering a special state: the blood-colored patterns on his face burned like flames. He roared and the fist pressed against Qin Ran's chest suddenly burst with even greater power.

Bang!

Qin Ran was pushed back by the immense force.

The force field shield, enhanced by the 【Pruis' Armor】 and possessing powerful defensive capabilities, was directly shattered.

Then, Kilphen Hedges threw another punch.

This punch was even stronger than the previous one!

The wind from the punch already made Qin Ran's face feel like it was being cut by a knife.

Moreover, Kilphen Hedges' punch was not only powerful but also fast!

So fast that Qin Ran had no time to dodge, and the fist appeared right in front of his chest.

Qin Ran had no doubt about the power of this punch.

Even the previous punch, which was far less powerful, could shatter the force field shield with powerful defensive capabilities. If this punch, which far exceeded the previous one, hit him directly, even with 350 points of life value, Qin Ran would likely not survive.

But the opponent's fist was already in front of him, seemingly impossible to avoid.

He could only take it head-on!

Qin Ran gritted his teeth.

"Die!"

Looking at the determined Qin Ran, Kilphen Hedges roared.

Continuous unexpected attacks had made this enraged Half-Dead eager to taste Qin Ran's blood.

He wanted to shatter and pierce Qin Ran's chest.

Kilphen Hedges' fist slammed down hard.

Bang!

With a dull sound, Qin Ran spat blood and flew out.

An item fell from the air!

The item was completely dented and twisted, but its general shape could still be recognized: the pistol 【M1905】.

When facing the opponent's unstoppable punch, Qin Ran chose to take it head-on.

But this did not mean he would let the fatal punch hit his chest.

Although Qin Ran was wearing a 【T1 Bulletproof Vest】.

Having already experienced the power of the punch, Qin Ran knew that relying on the 【T1 Bulletproof Vest】 he was wearing would be suicidal!

So... if one 【T1 Bulletproof Vest】 couldn't stop it, what about two?

Or three?

After all, he had more than one piece of equipment.

Qin Ran's mind raced, feeling the 【M1905】 in his right hand and the... 【Pruis' Wrist】 on his left wrist!

The 【M1905】 is a firearm, and the system description only has an attack value, not a defense value, but this does not mean that the completely metal-made 【M1905】 cannot be used for defense.

If the defense value of the 【M1905】 was questionable, the 【Pruis' Wrist】 was not!

The 【Pruis' Wrist】 is a piece of armor, a legendary-quality armor with extremely strong defensive capabilities!

Enduring the powerful force of the Half-Dead's punch, Qin Ran used all his strength to place his left wrist, equipped with the 【Pruis' Wrist】, in front of his chest, and stacked the 【M1905】 on top of the 【Pruis' Wrist】.

Using the 【M1905】 and the 【Pruis' Wrist】 to form a special defense.

The facts proved that Qin Ran's choice was correct.

Although the 【M1905】 and the 【T1 Bulletproof Vest】 were completely destroyed, he survived.

【Punch: The opponent deals you 450 points of life damage. You have armor, which negates 300 points of damage, actually dealing 150 points of damage, putting you into a moderate injury state...】

【Moderate Injury: Strength, Agility, and Perception decrease by one level】

【Excessive attack power, T1 Bulletproof Vest completely damaged!】

【Excessive attack power, M1905 completely damaged!】

...

Although he had guessed, when Qin Ran saw the 450 points of life damage from the punch in the battle information, he still drew a sharp breath.

He could easily imagine that without the three layers of defense provided by the 【M1905】, 【T1 Bulletproof Vest】, and 【Pruis' Wrist】, he would have been dead already.

However, despite narrowly escaping, Qin Ran's situation was not optimistic.

The appearance of the 【Moderate Injury】 state caused Qin Ran's Strength, Agility, and Perception to decrease by one level!

For Qin Ran, who was flying through the air, this was completely fatal!

Because Kilphen Hedges, growling like a beast, pounced at the falling Qin Ran.

Qin Ran, whose attributes were already inferior to the opponent, now had his Strength, Agility, and Perception decreased by one level, and being in the air, he had nowhere to brace himself, seemingly unable to dodge and had to take it head-on again.

And this time, without the 【M1905】 and the 【T1 Bulletproof Vest】, even with the 【Pruis' Wrist】, Qin Ran would inevitably suffer greater damage.

Moreover, Kilphen Hedges was not just throwing a single punch this time but using both hands, as if trying to tear Qin Ran apart.

However, just as Kilphen Hedges was two or three meters away from Qin Ran, Qin Ran's right hand trembled.

Instantly, a very thin, hair-like wire shot out from Qin Ran's hand, wrapping around a chain on the side.

【Deceiver's Key】!

Holding this magical equipment, Qin Ran pulled with his right hand, and his body in the air immediately shifted horizontally.

Not only did he narrowly avoid Kilphen Hedges' pounce, but the force of his pull made him spin in the air and land on the chain.

As Qin Ran's body spun in the air, two pulled grenades flew straight toward the still-moving Kilphen Hedges.

"Back!"

Seeing the two grenades flying toward him, Kilphen Hedges' face changed, and he roared.

The blood-colored patterns on his face, which were already burning like flames, became even brighter.

The two grenades, which were originally flying toward Kilphen Hedges, immediately returned to their original path and flew back toward Qin Ran, who was standing on the chain.

Seeing the grenades flying toward him, Qin Ran jumped off the chain without hesitation.

He did not have the same abilities as a Half-Dead.

Boom! Boom!

The two grenades exploded on the chain, and the shrapnel made the chain rattle.

The red light that occasionally flashed on the chain suddenly became completely bright, as if it had been heated to red-hot.

Thud! Thud!

As if in a chain reaction, the heartbeat inside the bronze coffin became extremely intense.

Hearing the heartbeat, Qin Ran immediately felt an extremely uncomfortable and painful sensation in his chest.

It felt as if his heart was being crushed.

Puff!

Qin Ran couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

The blood sprayed out but did not fall to the ground; instead, it flew directly toward the bronze coffin and adhered to its surface.

It seeped in at a visible speed.

【Intimidation: You are within the opponent's intimidation range. Your mental judgment failed, and your body is shaken. The opponent deals you 100 points of life damage...】

【Sacrifice: Your blood activates a special magic array...】

【In the magic array, your life value will decrease by 1 point per second...】

【Life value below 30%, enter severe injury state!】

【Severe Injury: Strength, Agility, and Perception decrease by three levels!】

A series of prompts appeared on Qin Ran's retina.

But he had no time to pay attention to them.

The continuous decrease in life value made him realize that if he did not leave quickly, he would only face death.

And the time he had to leave was not much.

【Life value: 97】

Qin Ran glanced at his continuously decreasing life value, completely ignoring the fallen Kilphen Hedges, and immediately ran toward the exit.

However, the next moment, Qin Ran had to stop.

Kilphen Hedges, who had fallen due to the previous mysterious 【Intimidation】, had somehow crawled up and was crazily blocking him.

The opponent's condition was very poor.

The damage caused by the 【Intimidation】 to the opponent far exceeded that to him.

Or perhaps, the opponent's special state had ended, and he entered a weakened state.

Qin Ran could not confirm which was the case.

But the blood-colored patterns on the opponent's face, which had been burning like flames, had completely extinguished, losing all luster and looking like a piece of rotting meat.

Moreover, the opponent's entire appearance looked listless.

But his expression became increasingly frenzied.

"This is the 'blessing' of our ancestors!"

"Death will be yours!"

The opponent shouted loudly.

Qin Ran frowned, looking at the Half-Dead in front of him.

He could not guess the opponent's current state, but one thing was certain: the opponent was determined to fight to the death!

So... what choice was there?

The left wrist of Qin Ran's armguard glowed with a faint light.

【Pruis' Bite】 activated!

【Pruis' Greed】 activated!
