"Bang!"
It was like opening a massive bottle of champagne, with flesh and frozen debris bursting out wildly!
Lin Yuan was once again free!
At the same time, his Auditory Radar finally caught sight of the so-called Golden Devourer in its entirety. He couldn't help but be astonished; this creature was as imposing as a mountain, and compared to it, Lin Yuan felt utterly insignificant!
Despite its bulky size, the Golden Devourer was covered in countless flexible tongues, leaving no blind spots.
At that moment, as Lin Yuan had just emerged, over thirty enormous tongues surged toward him from all directions.
But how could Lin Yuan allow himself to be captured again at this moment?
He immediately activated his Magnetic Gravity Shield and expanded his Gravitational Field to a radius of one hundred meters. At the same time, he reactivated the Ghost Assault Trait from his Ghost Title!
He crouched and jumped, executing a seven-hundred-twenty-degree S-shaped spin in mid-air. The entire twenty-four-meter tall Mechanical Body transformed into something as agile as a dancer in that instant!
He narrowly avoided several tongues' assaults, and before he could land, the anti-gravity propulsion System activated once more. He propelled forward, rolled backward, and executed a side flip with a one-thousand-eighty-degree rotation!
In less than 0.005 seconds, dozens of complex movements flowed seamlessly together. This was the power of the Ghost Assault Trait; it could nearly enhance a Mechanical Warrior's capabilities by five times in a short period!
"Swish!"
As Lin Yuan knelt and sprang back up, the Heavy Greatblade appeared in his Mechanical Arms. In that moment, an inexplicable bloodthirsty impulse surged from the depths of his soul, akin to the sensation one feels after drinking alcohol or applying Indian Oil—both exhilarating and maddening!
Of course, this strange feeling was subtle, and Lin Yuan remained unaware of it; he simply felt exhilarated. The Civic Induction Transmission Rate became as smooth as if lubricated, precise and rapid! In the blink of an eye, he severed over a dozen tongues in one breath!
But this was not the end. From the cut surfaces of the severed tongues, a large amount of polyester fibers erupted. Having experienced this pain before, Lin Yuan certainly did not want to go through it again. However, this made it difficult for him to evade; after all, the Golden Devourer had far too many tongues. For every one he cut off, two more would immediately emerge from some damned place!
At that moment, he even considered activating flight mode to escape, but that was utterly impossible; he could only hop around like a flea, struggling to hold on.
Even under such circumstances, he might not be able to last long. It was important to note that the Ghost Title's ability, Ghost Strike, required a certain amount of Soul Energy to be consumed every second in order to activate. Once that Soul Energy was depleted, it would be game over for him.
Just as Lin Yuan felt utterly hopeless, a flash of inspiration struck him. Somehow, at this critical moment, he recalled Lord J and his Gale Evasion Skill. This thought was inconsequential at first, but amidst it all, an extremely faint and vague stream of data flickered past his mind—like a firefly darting across the blazing sun, nearly imperceptible.
Moreover, when Lin Yuan's consciousness swept over this stream of data, before he could examine it closely, it vanished automatically as if it had never existed. What remained in his soul's awareness were merely a few very blurry images, reminiscent of recalling last night's dream; in the next second, that dream would fade without a trace!
Such bizarre occurrences were not new to Lin Yuan; however, at this moment, he had no time to ponder further. Following the vague data, his Mechanical Body responded simultaneously.
What Lin Yuan never expected was that the evasive movement response provided by that vague data would be unprecedentedly efficient!
Once all the blurred data connected together, he was astonished to discover that it seemed to be a rapid movement evasion plan tailored specifically for his Mechanical Body. It accounted for every aspect of his Mechanical Body's load capacity, mobility range, and propulsion burst!
If one were to describe it in a single word, it would be seamless!
In that instant, the joy swelling within Lin Yuan was unimaginable; he even overlooked the thrashing tongues of the Golden Devourer surrounding him. He felt as if he had been reborn because this was simply marvelous!
To put it in the simplest terms, it was as if Lin Yuan had been wearing size one shoes all along, trying to dance ballet on tiptoes. It was a torture for both body and mind. Although he had grown accustomed to the discomfort, it was still not pleasant, right?
But at this moment, it felt like he had finally found shoes that fit his feet perfectly—soft, breathable, massaging, elastic, dazzlingly bright like titanium in 4K resolution, and so many other advantages. At that instant, he even had the illusion that he could fly.
Unconsciously, Lin Yuan's reaction speed and agility skyrocketed. Once he fully familiarized himself with this set of data, it was as if he were a fish in water. He even began to adjust the characteristics of Ghost Strike to slow down a bit.
Even so, despite the increasing number of tongues gathering from the Golden Devourer—almost overwhelming—Lin Yuan remained unfazed. Instead, he found himself becoming more and more exhilarated in battle! He couldn't even remember how many tongues of the Golden Devourer he had severed.
What he did know was that his Gale Evasion Skill proficiency was soaring, and even one of the Ten Subjects—Martial Arts—was rocketing from level five to level eight in no time.
During this process, Lin Yuan moved from one end of the Golden Devourer’s body to the other and back again. He discovered that those tongues could regrow at an astonishing speed; it was truly disgusting.
Time passed without him realizing how long it had been. Lin Yuan's energy consumption was nearly outpacing his ability to keep up. Just then, the Golden Devourer, which had been thrashing about wildly, suddenly deflated like a balloon losing air, and everything finally calmed down. Shortly after, Lin Yuan received two messages in his Intellect.
“Beep! ID 1496871, your Gale Evasion Skill has reached e5 level. You have gained 0 Mechanical Modification Points, 0% Intellect and Mechanical Body fusion rate, 0% Intellect upgrade rate, and 0 Soul Energy.”
“Beep! ID 1496871, you have successfully killed Guardian BSS e5 level Golden Devourer 15 times consecutively in the Death Simulation World’s first Checkpoint. Due to unknown reasons, this Golden Devourer can respawn with full health at its location and its combat power increases by 00%. Therefore, your kill has been rated as a perfect kill. Reward: 80 Soul Energy points. Note: Accumulate 100 Soul Energy points to upgrade your Ghost Title. You now have five minutes of rest time; after five minutes, the second Checkpoint of Death Simulation will open.”
