- The Reincarnation World Where Only I Know the Storyline
- RWWOKS Chapter 211
“Something’s wrong,” Fang Bo furrowed his brows, realizing that the one approaching was most likely not Kyo Kusanagi himself.
Due to the distance, he couldn’t use his information scan, so he ordered his Ghost Spiders to investigate.
In a flash, a blur streaked through the air, and the Ghost Spider’s poisoned stinger found its mark.
[Elite Spider Soldier’s poisoned stinger hits Lucar, causing 12+18 points of piercing damage.]
[Target affected by poison, causing 2 points of damage per second for 10 seconds.]
“Lucar?” Fang Bo’s heart skipped a beat when he saw the name on the report.
Lucar Bernstein, the villainous boss who appeared most frequently in the King of Fighters series, was known for his exceptional combat talent.
To prove his strength, he had hosted two King of Fighters tournaments, seeking to defeat the strongest among the fighters.
He should have been dead by now, but it seemed like he had been resurrected by the NESTS organization.
“Where did this spider come from?” The man’s voice rang out, filled with fury, and in an instant, the thick smoke around him was torn open.
Ultimate Skill: Gale Fist!
A violent surge of energy slammed into the body of the second-tier Ghost Spider.
[Elite Spider Soldier is hit by the Gale Fist, causing 132 points of impact damage.]
[Damage exceeds critical threshold, Elite Spider Soldier has been killed! ]
One-hit kill!
The sheer power of the attack made Fang Bo draw in a sharp breath.
The enemy had only used a standard ultimate move, not one of those super-ultra moves that required all-out effort to release.
Even so, he had effortlessly dealt over a hundred points of damage.
To be honest, this was already beyond Fang Bo’s ability to handle. Even if all his Ghost Spiders joined the fray, the most they could do was make the enemy swing his fists a few more times.
[Mission Objective: Survive 1/5 of the NESTS Organization’s pursuit.]
Fang Bo glanced at the hidden mission’s info. He knew Lucar was one of the pursuers sent by the NESTS organization, though he suspected that the difficulty was being affected by another task.
[Special Notice: Accepting this mission will significantly increase the difficulty of the storyline. Proceed with caution!]
Initially, he thought the increased difficulty was mainly related to the King of Fighters tournament, but now it seemed that things were far more complicated than he had imagined.
“You should leave quickly,” the Tsuchigumo (Spider Demon) said, standing in front, her eyes filled with an indescribable fear. “I can sense that the enemy’s strength rivals that of the top-tier Oni Kings.”
“You’re right,” Fang Bo responded solemnly.
After killing the Elite Spider Soldier, Lucar’s latent violent tendencies were triggered.
Shaking his silver hair, he began a massacre against the surrounding Ghost Spiders.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Fang Bo sent out an information scan, which confirmed the Tsuchigumo’s suspicions.
[Lucar Bernstein (Omega)]
[Attack Inclination: Medium]
[Attribute Inclination: Constitution, Strength, Spirit]
[Traits: Serpent’s Blood (Legendary), Natural Genius]
[Threat Assessment: High Danger]
Natural Genius: Has terrifying martial arts talent, able to quickly comprehend and integrate others’ techniques.
Omega Lucar, influenced by the power of the Serpent, was in a special state where his strength was several times greater than in his normal condition.
Given Fang Bo’s current strength, even safely escaping was a luxury.
However, there was one thing he didn’t understand: why did the scan show that the enemy didn’t have an overwhelming desire to attack him?
Fang Bo’s equipment came from the Pirate World, and with his Observation Haki, he could scan “hostility,” a concept as intangible as it was elusive.
The medium attack inclination meant that the enemy had some killing intent toward him, but he wasn’t the top priority target.
Thinking for a moment, Fang Bo realized that Lucar was probably looking for Kyo Kusanagi. The key issue was, he didn’t know where Kyo had been blasted off to after the missile strike.
Before Kyo could return, Fang Bo needed to find a way to survive.
“There’s no other choice,” Fang Bo placed his hand on the Tsuchigumo’s body and spoke solemnly. “I’ll have to rely on you.”
“Alright, go ahead and absorb.”
Plunder!
As soon as he finished speaking, a steady stream of life energy began to flow into his body.
[Your health +14]
[Your health +14]
[Your health +14]
In just a few seconds, Fang Bo’s health was fully restored. He then ordered his shikigami to retreat to the side.
He took out three small energy batteries to replenish the lost energy of his Wind Shadow Puppet.
Next, he drank the last bottle of a small constitution elixir, gaining a temporary +5 boost to his constitution.
Health: 420/420 (+230)
“Alright, now I feel much safer.”
The Wind Shadow Puppet appeared in front of him, and a large amount of iron sand began to gather in the air.
Magnetism Style: Sand Iron Triangle Strike!
A sharp triangular body hung in the air, its tips pointing straight at the enemy.
Just as the last Ghost Spider was ruthlessly slaughtered, the Wind Shadow Puppet’s attack reached the enemy.
The size of the sand iron triangle was enormous, not something that could easily be withstood.
Even Lucar, he would have to use his most trusted skill to defend.
“You’ve underestimated me,” Lucar said, spreading both arms, and a circular energy shield appeared around his body.
No matter how hard the sand iron triangle struck, it couldn’t penetrate the seemingly weak defensive barrier.
His red mechanical eye emanated a bloody aura, and suddenly, Fang Bo felt a shiver down his spine. Then, he saw the sand iron triangle shatter.
With a quick gesture, Lucar brought his hands together, and the lightning-infused shield shrank to the size of a basketball.
First, it destroyed the sand iron construct. In less than a breath, it reached Fang Bo’s front.
Ultimate Skill: King’s Wave!
At the crucial moment, golden lightning flared, and the long-awaited trio of Giant Brothers appeared.
In the next second, they were turned to ash by Lucar’s ultimate move.
[Tutu is hit by Lucar’s King’s Wave, taking 142 points of impact damage.]
[Xiao Tian is hit by Lucar’s King’s Wave, taking 136 points of impact damage.]
[Big Head is hit by Lucar’s King’s Wave, taking 144 points of impact damage.]
[Damage exceeds critical threshold, Giants are dead!]
Taking this opportunity, Fang Bo continued controlling the Wind Shadow Puppet to unleash his own ultimate move.
Sand Iron Rain burst forth, filling the sky with black iron sand.
Lucar, however, seemed oddly unfazed by the barrage and laughed inappropriately.
“Very well, I admit it. You’ve earned the right to die at my hands.”
With that, he ignored the sand iron rain and barreled forward like a bulldozer.
[Your Sand Iron Rain hits the target, causing 23+11+24 points of piercing damage.]
Relying on his tough physique, Lucar withstood the attack and charged straight toward Fang Bo.
Of course, there was still the Wind Shadow Puppet in the way, creating a brief buffer.
Unexpectedly, Lucar grabbed the puppet, ignoring the blade slashes, and pushed it backward at high speed.
The overwhelming difference in speed meant that Fang Bo could do nothing to avoid the pursuit.
Soon, he too was in the same situation as his puppet.
Ultimate Skill: Gate of Heaven!
[You are affected by the binding effect of the Gate of Heaven. You cannot move, use equipment, or use items during this time.]
The difference in speed and power made it clear that Fang Bo had no chance of escaping.
It seemed that he had reached a dead end.
After charging for dozens of meters, Lucar intended to slam the two captives into the mountain wall.
But a sudden sharp pain in his lower back made him pause.
[Your treasure causes 160 points of critical damage to Lucar.]
The Kusanagi sword had pierced Lucar’s back, causing significant critical damage.
Even the mighty Omega Lucar staggered for a moment, giving Fang Bo a brief window of opportunity.
At that moment, other treasures followed, as Fang Bo had already activated his arsenal before being captured.
A golden dragon roared into the fray—this was the activated effect of the Yanyue Qinglong.
Using 4 points of Spirit, the Dragon Qi Slash unleashed 140% strength-based attack, dealing considerable damage.
[Your treasure deals 83 points of damage to Lucar.]
Unfortunately, no critical hit was triggered; otherwise, this would have rivaled the Kusanagi sword’s damage.
Lucar, battered by two massive hits, decided to end his ultimate move early.
Boom!
Fang Bo was slammed hard into the ground, and the flaming forest seemed to tremble.
[You are hit by Lucar’s Gate of Heaven attack, taking 206 points of collision damage.]
[Talent “Steel Heart” activates, restoring 91 points of health.]
Spitting out blood, Fang Bo quickly got to his feet and retreated to a distance.
The power of the attack itself wasn’t as concerning as the inability to move or counteract during the grab.
As long as he wasn’t hit three times in a row, his current health could withstand the damage.
Of course, this didn’t mean the danger was over. Lucar had destroyed several treasures and was now charging at him like a raging bull.
Even using his full Spirit Sense, Fang Bo could only vaguely track Lucar’s movements.
Despite appearing clumsy, Lucar’s speed attribute was likely close to forty.
With a boom, the energy shield Fang Bo had just raised shattered.
His treasures weren’t ready to be deployed yet, and once again, he fell into Lucar’s clutches.
“Damn, this is going too far!”
Fortunately, Fang Bo was ready and immediately activated two of his strongest secret techniques.
Cursed Seal State II, activate!
Yin Seal, Unseal!
A surge of spiritual energy flooded his palm, and the fiery light caused Lucar to momentarily hesitate.
He seemed to recognize the technique Fang Bo was using.
“You…”
But Fang Bo had no intention of responding. He immediately unleashed his full-power super ultimate.
Imitation: MAX Super Ultimate: Serpent Slash!
A blazing fire serpent engulfed Lucar, and after the attack, Lucar finally collapsed to the ground.
[Your Serpent Slash hits the target, dealing 258 points of burning damage.]
Cough, cough, cough.
Fang Bo swayed slightly, his hand trembling as he looked at his severely burned palm.
Omega Lucar’s attributes—Constitution, Strength, and Spirit—were all over fifty, making him a top-tier boss in this difficulty world.
By unlocking the Cursed Seal state, Fang Bo’s Spirit attribute shot up to around 42 points.
Although it was close to the limit for this difficulty, there was still a considerable gap compared to Lucar.
After using his ultimate attack, his Spirit quickly dwindled, and he lost his fighting ability, while Lucar’s health had only dropped by about half—or even less.
According to Olsen’s description, the effects of the Serpent’s Blood varied from person to person.
Lucar’s blood most likely boosted his Constitution.
Conservatively estimating, Lucar’s health was probably in the range of 800+, which might even be on the lower side.
Even with an ultimate attack that consumed thirty points of Spirit, Fang Bo had only managed to chip away half of Lucar’s health.
Squeezing a magic bean in his hand, Fang Bo prepared himself for a desperate fight.
Right now, he couldn’t afford to think about whether he was concerned about his losses.
At that moment, Fang Bo noticed something unsettling.
Lucar, slowly rising from the ground, was rapidly recovering from his injuries.
“Damn it!”
