Chapter 110: The Great Event I: The Dragon Ninja Battle (Part 5)_3
But... just as it reached the ceiling, Haroldon's upper body emerged from the shadows of the ceiling, slicing its neck open from behind with a dagger. Stay connected via empire
Hiss!
With the neck severed, the monster's head fell from the sky, landing on the floor of the screening room and bouncing a couple of times.
Haroldon landed on the ground as well, sighing in relief as he looked at the motionless head.
"In the end, it was just a clown..."
He muttered to himself, turning to the Magic Girl hiding behind the snowflake barrier, pulling the bone knife from the ground and stepping towards her.
"Next...it's your turn."
He had barely finished speaking when he suddenly heard a ghostly voice behind him.
"You can live... for two more seconds."
Haroldon spun around, his brows furrowed, staring at the fallen head on the ground. It now wore a cunning smile on its face.
"You're talking about yourself, aren't you? Your body is still hanging from the ceiling."
Haroldon mocked coldly.
"Is there a chance that I intentionally left it up there?" the strange thing laughed.
Just then, a faint sound came from the ceiling of the screening room, like the engine of a train.
[20 seconds have passed. Due to the effect of the Disaster Dice, a green passenger train traveling at full speed is about to streak across the ceiling of the screening room.]
"A train?"
Haroldon stared upwards in shock as a huge hole suddenly burst open on the far right corner of the ceiling. Instantly, a massive green passenger train roared out of it.
As if treating the ceiling of the screening room like a railroad track, it sped forward upside down, its wheels grinding away the ceiling as it passed.
The deafening roar of the engine nearly drowned out all other sounds in the world, threatening to puncture Haroldon's eardrums.
In that brief fraction of a second, the headless body of the strange thing, still stuck to the ceiling by the web, used an E-level skill on Haroldon:
——"Phase Transfer."
[Phase Transfer (E-level Skill) (Choose a target within eight meters; instantly swap places with them.)]
This E-level skill he had purchased after finishing the pirate ship instance proved its worth at this moment.
Haroldon, realizing something was wrong and attempting to escape into the shadows beneath his feet within an instant of breaking free from the cinema...
...found his body switched places with that of the strange thing, abruptly appearing atop the ceiling.
At the same time, the web arranged on the ceiling stuck his hands firmly, suspending his body from the ceiling.
Like an insect...caught in a spider's web.
Haroldon shook his arms frantically, trying to break free from the deadly web.
But he was unsuccessful.
"If I'm not mistaken, he can only shadow travel if his feet are touching the ground," Magical Girl Xiaohongmao commented, "Looks like I was right."
"How is this possible..."
Haroldon froze for half a second, slowly lifting his head to stare at the dark green train rushing towards him.
In that instant, his face was brightly illuminated by the train's headlights, his pupils constricted to the size of wheat grains, his expression gradually twisted by fear.
On the floor of the screening room, the head of the monster raised its vacant eyes, its mouth curling into a wide grin.
"Surprise."
As the mocking words fell, the green passenger train thundered through the ceiling, obliterating Haroldon's body into a mist of blood, leaving not even remains.
[Congratulations, you have successfully killed a C+ grade superhuman. Your milestone achievement has been updated, please claim your reward in time.]
The monster basked in the blood rain falling softly, its tone relaxed, "It seems that outleveling kills isn't so hard after all, us system creatures are like that."
"Your head's off, and you're still boasting..."
Magical Girl Xiaohongmao softly remarked, disengaging the snowflake barrier beside her, stepping toward it, then bending down to pick up its head and hold it in her arms.
She turned her head to look toward the body of the monster—because the headless body had used "Phase Transfer" to swap places with Haroldon, it now lay quietly on the ground.
The monster in the girl's arms said, "Although I hate that damn blue owl who dresses like his old man, I don't dislike you, Miss Xiaohongmao. You're really warm..."
"Shut up."
Xiaohongmao said, covering its mouth, then walked over to the headless body, lifted its arm, and pressed down on the web shooter on the wrist.
Immediately following this, a highly adhesive web shot out from the front of the web shooter, sticking to the jaw of the monster.
Then, Xiaohongmao raised its head, unhurriedly fitting it back onto the neck of the headless body.
The web acted as an adhesive, making the monster's head and body whole once again.
"Ah, that feels much better."
The monster murmured, rising from the ground, twisting its stiff neck, grinning at Xiaohongmao.
"Many thanks, Miss Xiaohongmao. I look forward to the next time we can fight side by side."
"You're welcome," Xiaohongmao said.
Hearing the commotion coming from the audience passage, the monster turned its gaze towards the outside of the screening room. The fight between Black Wukong and the Illusionist Fan Gu seemed to be drawing to a close as well.
