RWWOKS Chapter 131

The terrifying impact sent Jorogumo flying instantly, blood spraying everywhere, making it clear that this attack was no joke.

[Jorogumo takes 146 points of energy damage from Kaiser Wave.]

The damage surpassed Orson’s Heat Drive, though this was partly due to the difference in their attributes.

Orson had only been through a few story worlds, whereas Raghu was already preparing to challenge a golden mainline mission.

Fortunately, Jorogumo had evolved into an SSR-tier shikigami. If she hadn’t awakened yet, the enemy might have killed her in a single blow.

“Huh, still alive?” Raghu was surprised.

According to the intel from Jason, Number Seven was just a newbie who had only gone through three reincarnation worlds.

By that logic, his shikigami shouldn’t be that strong.

A full-powered Kaiser Wave should have finished her off, yet the outcome didn’t meet his expectations.

The weakness of a swarm-based strategy was that it developed slowly and was extremely vulnerable to decapitation tactics. If the shikigami were eliminated, the surrounding ghost spiders would vanish as well.

Then it would just be one-on-one, and Raghu could toy with Fang Bo however he liked.

Realizing his mistake, he now had to deal with the consequences. Before he could regain his footing, the spider soldiers lunged forward, launching a **Rapid Slash** attack that cut three wounds into his body.

Not only did it deal over 60 points of damage, but it also put Raghu into a bleeding status.

The other ghost spiders tried to swarm him, but Raghu easily dodged, pulling away with a quick forward dash.

Unable to keep up with his speed, the spiders could only watch as he rushed toward Jorogumo.

However, Fang Bo had already anticipated his intentions. Using the brief window of opportunity created by the spider soldiers, he reached Jorogumo’s side first.

Placing his hand on her large spider head, he transferred a surge of life energy into her body.

[Healing skill successfully used. You expend 104 health points and heal Jorogumo for 146 health points.]

Think you can hit hard?

Fine, whatever damage you deal, I’ll just heal back. Let’s see who can last longer—you with your mental energy or me with my massive health pool.

After eating a small piece of bread to slightly restore his health, Fang Bo raised his Dragoon and fired another shot at Raghu.

That earlier ultimate attack must have consumed a lot of energy, so Fang Bo wasn’t worried about Raghu reflecting his bullets again.

Even if he could reflect them, Fang Bo didn’t care about losing a few dozen points of health.

As long as the enemy’s mental energy drained, Raghu would have no choice but to become a killable target.

Raghu seemed to understand this too. He didn’t use the reflecting technique again.

Seeing Fang Bo’s healing ability, Raghu realized that even if he reached Jorogumo, he couldn’t kill the shikigami in one strike.

So, he stopped in his tracks, his bloodshot eyes glaring at his prey. “Very good. You’ve earned my respect, Number Seven.”

“As a reward, I’ll show you what true fear feels like.”

With that, Raghu activated the **Serpent’s Blood** within him.

As a surge of overwhelming power flooded his body, he threw his head back and let out a monstrous roar.

The sight of him standing there with his hands low made Fang Bo feel the oppressive tension of a volcano about to erupt.

Not wanting to give Raghu time to charge up, Fang Bo immediately commanded Yoriichi Type Zero to unleash its strongest attack.

**Sun Breathing: Thirteenth Form—Blazing Sun!**

Just as the attack was about to hit, Raghu suddenly blurred into an unseen shadow.

The puppet’s seemingly flawless attack was evaded with ease, Raghu slipping through the gaps with unnatural agility.

In a flash, he was right beside Fang Bo.

“Die!”

With one hand on Fang Bo’s chest, Raghu used unstoppable force to slam him into the distance.

This was Raghu’s ultimate move, now maxed out in power—**Heaven’s Gate!**

The speed of the attack was so fast that Fang Bo didn’t even have time to raise his energy shield from his cloak.

**Boom!** Fang Bo was violently slammed into the ground. Just when he thought it was over, Raghu unleashed a second-stage attack of Heaven’s Gate, dragging Fang Bo across the ground once more.

By the time the second hit landed, Fang Bo was dozens of meters away from his shikigami.

The two-stage ultimate had dealt over 200 points of damage, pushing his health dangerously low and successfully separating him from his summon.

Even Yoriichi Type Zero had been knocked far away, leaving Fang Bo unable to activate its training mode before his equipment was knocked out of his hands.

It would take Jorogumo five seconds to catch up, but in that time, Raghu’s overwhelming close-combat strength could easily crush Fang Bo to pieces.

Fang Bo understood this, but there wasn’t the slightest trace of panic on his face.

[Talent: Steel Heart activates. You regain 132 health points.]

With his awakened talent, no attack could critically injure him in one blow.

Plus, after using so many high-powered skills, the enemy’s mental energy had to be almost depleted. Without ultimate techniques, Raghu wouldn’t be able to kill Fang Bo with just fists.

A golden light shone, and the Giant Trio was summoned, standing like a wall of flesh between Fang Bo and Raghu.

Using the summoned giants as cover, Fang Bo fired another shot, further reducing Raghu’s health.

“More summons?!” Raghu muttered, feeling a bit disoriented as blood spurted from his chest.

Up to now, Number Seven had displayed a range of abilities, including healing, summoning, and now this—he had thought that was enough, but it seemed he was wrong.

As Raghu attempted to rush forward again, he suddenly realized that his speed had drastically slowed.

[Affected by Hamstring Status: Movement speed reduced by 80% for 10 seconds.]

“When did he…”

Sensing the approaching ghost spider swarm, Raghu knew he couldn’t afford to drag this out any longer, or he might really lose here.

“Damn it, I didn’t want to use this so soon.”

He pulled out three attribute points and quickly allocated them to Strength and Agility.

His Constitution was already high, but time was running out, and he couldn’t afford to push for a three-attribute breakthrough.

[Strength reaches 20 points. Select a new trait to unlock!]

**Mighty Blow:** Release an attack at 120% of your Strength attribute.

**Brute Force:** Overwhelm weaker enemies with sheer power.

**Grappling Expert:** Gain extra leverage in Strength-based clashes.

“Select Mighty Blow!”

This was the most direct combat trait, allowing him to further enhance his explosive strength.

If he had had “Mighty Blow” earlier, he might have killed Fang Bo in one strike and saved himself all this trouble.

[Agility reaches 20 points. Select a new trait to unlock!]

**Light as a Feather:** Greatly increases your agility and flexibility.

**Explosive Leap:** Greatly increases your jumping ability.

**Backstep Master:** Dodge most close-range attacks with a quick backstep.

“Select Explosive Leap!”

The movement speed reduction wouldn’t apply to his jumps, and with this trait, he could quickly close the gap between him and his target while distancing himself from the spiders.

Shoving a piece of cake into his mouth, Raghu stomped hard on the ground, launching himself like a cannonball right in front of the Giant Trio.

His target was behind the giants, and to reach him, he’d have to deal with these massive obstacles first.

As Raghu grinned viciously and reached out his hand, he used his brute strength to tear apart the head of the attacking spider, Little Licker, effortlessly.

“Huh?” Raghu was puzzled, surprised that the seemingly ferocious creature was so weak.

He had thought it would take some effort to deal with, but it turned out to be an easy kill.

“Something’s not right—it didn’t have full health.” With his battle experience, Raghu quickly deduced the reason.

Shifting his gaze slightly, he locked onto Number Seven, who was pressing one hand against the now-lifeless Tutu and rapidly absorbing its life force.

After devouring his last piece of “small bread,” Fang Bo’s health had finally risen back to a safe range.

**Health: 92/350 (+160)**

Seeing that Raghu had figured out his plan, Fang Bo remained calm. He casually pulled out the jutsu scroll he had purchased earlier.

**Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet!**

Even though Raghu tried to resist, the water dragon clamped its jaws around him and hurled him into the distance.

By the time Raghu crashed to the ground, drenched and disoriented, the ghost spiders had already reformed their encirclement, and Fang Bo had even retrieved his puppet.

Leaving the skeletal remains of Tutu behind, Fang Bo placed his hand on the last remaining giant, calmly recovering his health while watching the enemy’s growing despair.

The effects of **Serpent’s Blood** had worn off, his attribute bonuses gone, mental energy nearly depleted, and even his health dangerously low.

No matter how you looked at it, the once formidable dual-attribute fighter had been pushed to his limit.

This battle hadn’t been easy for Fang Bo either. Raghu’s vast combat experience had nearly resulted in a fatal decapitation, even amidst the swarm of spiders.

Luckily, Fang Bo had a wide variety of skills at his disposal, allowing him to weather the storm. Now, the situation was no longer in Raghu’s control.

“Don’t get cocky!” Raghu roared furiously.

Swallowing his last potion, he grabbed a nearby ghost spider and, like a wild beast, leaped into the air.

Most of the attacks hit the poor spider, while only a few reached Raghu.

Activating his **Mighty Blow** trait, his already formidable strength surged even higher, as if he were a god descending to earth. Raghu began swinging the spider like a weapon, smashing through everything around him.

Chaos erupted as the battlefield descended into madness. Raghu’s savage onslaught left no one able to withstand his fury.

Even at the brink of death, he was capable of launching a desperate, vicious counterattack. But it was nothing more than a final struggle.

He hadn’t been able to end the fight with one devastating combo, so the outcome had already been decided.

“It’s time to end this. I’m tired of your rampage.”

A gleam of light flashed across Fang Bo’s Raid Suit, and a mass of black iron sand suddenly appeared before him.

**Imitation: Iron Sand Drizzle!**

Countless black iron needles formed from the sand, instantly enveloping the enemy.

This was Fang Bo’s imitation of the Third Kazekage puppet’s technique. Though it lacked the full power and scale of the original, it was more than enough to deal with the current situation.

“No!!!” Raghu’s eyes widened as he finally experienced the agony of being pierced by a thousand arrows.

Even in his last moments, he couldn’t understand how he, someone who had survived through ten worlds, possessing dual-attribute advancement and the divine blood bestowed by his organization, had fallen so utterly.

With such a formidable setup, he should have been one of the top reincarnators in this world, if not dominating it outright.

Yet here he was, utterly defeated by a newbie who had only gone through a handful of worlds.

“You really were the lab’s best test subject. We all underestimated you,” Raghu murmured in his final moments as life slipped away.

As his consciousness faded, a bold thought crossed his mind.

Could this person’s strength continue to grow so rapidly that, one day, he might even destroy the orphanage?

“If that really happens…”

“That would be wonderful.”

[You have killed Reincarnator ID 10228. You have obtained a personal exclusive slaughter loot box.]

[Pursuer successfully eliminated. Loot box value has greatly increased.]

“Huh?” Fang Bo bent down to pick up the box, his eyes focusing on the last notification.

He hadn’t expected that killing his pursuer would come with such a reward—perhaps this box contained something truly valuable.
