All the laughter, discontent, curiosity, and mischief in the living room vanished in the face of that heart-wrenching roar. "You Lin Mei want to sing of plum blossoms, but you Lin Zai Zai isn't here yet..."
Luo Jiajun's smile froze instantly, his eyes sharpening like knives. He abruptly turned to look at the churning fog outside the window, his voice low and heavy, carrying a chilling disbelief:
"That beast is here again!?"
Added URL 103
“Roar, ahh ...
The roar that tore through the night sky had not yet completely dissipated.
Luo Jiajun then abruptly opened the game map.
On the map, a glaringly red skull marker appeared near the location of the portal where the Storm Bear had escaped! And not just one! But... two! Three! Four!
And then--
"There are still masters!?"
Luo Jiajun's pupils contracted sharply, and he gasped in disbelief.
Because right before Luo Jiajun's eyes, a fifth skull marker appeared on the game map at the same location!
In other words, there are now five bosses in the same location right here!
"What's going on outside!" Luo Jiajun's heart trembled violently. At this moment, the heavy footsteps of what sounded like a storm bear running around were like drums, approaching from afar, and the earth was shaking.
A chill ran down Luo Jiajun's spine and into his brain. He made an immediate decision and shouted to the women in the room, "Everyone, get out of here!"
Luo Jiajun was well aware of the destructive power of the Storm Bear. This capsule house could not withstand a single slap from it, so he had to pack it up quickly!
Everyone reacted quickly and rushed outside. Luo Jiajun also ran out of the house. With a thought, the two-story house behind him instantly turned into a cloud of white smoke, shrinking back into a small capsule that fell into his hand.
Almost at the same time that Luo Jiajun packed up the house, from the depths of the thick fog ahead came the deafening roar of the Storm Bear and a large number of other wild battle cries!
The sounds of battle instantly drowned out the storm bear's running.
"Roar-!!!"
As the storm bear roared, the violent sound waves, mixed with a powerful impact, forcefully pushed aside the thick fog in front of Luo Jiajun and his group. The pale moonlight seized the opportunity to shine down, illuminating the chilling scene in the center of the battlefield.
The ten-meter-tall white giant bear—Storm Bear Volir—was now covered in blood, its massive body riddled with thick arrows and heavy javelins, resembling a giant hedgehog. Its left eye, once burned by Luo Jiajun's electric current, was now just a charred hole, while its right eye was bloodshot, flashing with a light of pain and rage.
Even more shocking was the huge wound on the Storm Bear's back, left by the orc swordsman Baroque, which was now torn even deeper by some force, almost revealing the white bone, with dark red bear blood gushing out.
The force that besieged Stormbear and left it in such a sorry state was an overwhelming orc army.
Luo Jiajun looked around, his gaze sweeping over the four orc leaders who were charging at the forefront, directly facing the Storm Bear. They were all exceptionally burly and exuded a powerful aura.
[High-Value Target - "Great Chieftain" Baine Blaze (Gold)]
This orc was nearly three meters tall, like a moving chariot. He wore two ferocious, enormous shoulder armors that looked like they were made from the heads of some kind of dragon beast, the scales gleaming with a cold metallic luster in the moonlight.
In the hands of this "Great Chieftain" also lay a strangely shaped, enormous weapon—shaped like the skeleton of some deep-sea monster, with serrated bone spikes along its edges. Each swing produced a piercing sound as it slashed fiercely at the Storm Bear's relatively intact forelimbs, leaving deep, bone-revealing wounds.
His strength was ferocious and unparalleled; he could withstand the storm bear's massive paws without being at a disadvantage. His combat experience was also extremely rich, and he could always narrowly avoid the storm bear's most fatal bites and slaps.
Each of its roars exudes a power no less than that of the Storm Bear's Roar.
[High-Value Target – High Priest Sardan Dragonfang (Gold)]
This was an old orc with a magnificent white beard and hair, yet he was vigorous and his eyes gleamed with wisdom and elemental light. Around his neck was a necklace made of various strange and tiny skulls, and in his hand he held an ancient staff with a huge gem set at its tip.
In this battle against the Storm Bear, the high priest did not charge directly. Instead, he stood slightly behind the other three orc bosses. With a wave of his staff, howling winds formed wind blades that cut the Storm Bear's wounds, flames spontaneously ignited and scorched the Storm Bear's fur, water flowed into ice spikes that pierced the Storm Bear's relatively vulnerable joints, and occasionally, thick bolts of lightning would fall from the sky and strike the Storm Bear's wounds precisely!
It's easy to see that this high priest is the core of the entire orcish force, and his powerful elemental magic provides strong firepower support and crowd control for the melee warriors.
[High-Value Target - Keane Blazing Blood (Purple)]
This orc shared the same surname and name as Bain Blaze, leading Luo Jiajun to speculate that he was likely Bain Blaze's brother. While slightly smaller than Bain Blaze, he was still incredibly strong. His bare upper body was muscular, with a long, grotesque scar running diagonally from his right shoulder to his left abdomen, resembling a giant centipede coiled on it, a testament to past brutal battles.
At this moment, the valiant orc boss is wielding a heavy one-handed battle axe, roaring as he attacks the storm bear's injured right hind leg from the side, attempting to cripple it completely.
[High-Value Target - Lorix Blazing Blood (Purple)]:
Although both were from the Fiery Blood Clan, this orc looked significantly younger, with sharp, piercing eyes. His thick right hand was wrapped in coils of iron chains, the other end of which was attached to a rather heavy one-handed axe.
This young orc boss has a flexible and varied fighting style. Sometimes he throws his axe like a throwing axe, leaving wounds on the storm bear before pulling it back with the chains. At other times, he swings it like a flail, letting the chains pull the axe in deadly arcs to attack the storm bear's vulnerable flanks and rear.
------
Led by the four orc bosses, dozens of elite orc warriors, presumably from the Fiery Blood Clan, formed an encirclement around the Storm Bear. Most wielding massive longbows, heavy throwing axes, or sharp javelins, they unleashed a barrage of ranged attacks like a well-trained army, relentlessly raining down upon the Storm Bear's enormous body. They precisely avoided the leaders in front, continuously eroding the behemoth's life force.
The Storm Bear was in an unprecedented predicament. Severely injured and surrounded, it was struggling to defend itself and roared repeatedly.
Its massive body moved clumsily and painfully with every turn, desperately trying to break free of the encirclement and escape this deadly killing field. Its enormous bear paw, accompanied by a piercing shriek that tore through the air, slammed down on Bane Blaze, who was tightly binding it, attempting to create an opening.
"Roar!"
Facing the storm bear's attack, Baine Blazing Blood roared and parried the powerful blow with his fishbone greatsword, carving two deep furrows in the ground with his feet.
When the Storm Bear's attack failed, it suddenly turned its attention to Keane Bloodlust, who was attacking its hind legs from the side. As the Storm Bear raised its paw to strike, even before the blow landed, a palm wind carrying immense pressure, like an invisible gravity field, instantly enveloped the area where Keane Bloodlust was located.
Keane Blood felt his body sink, as if pressed down by an invisible giant hand, his movements instantly slowed! His expression changed drastically, and he tried to pull away and dodge, but the terrifying suppressive force originating from the storm made him feel as if he were stuck in a quagmire, his legs as heavy as lead, making it difficult for him to move!
"Keane! Get out of the way!" Bane Blaze roared, his eyes bloodshot with rage.
A little further away, the orc high priest Thrallan's staff also emitted a blinding light, and a thick bolt of lightning instantly struck the storm bear's head in an attempt to interfere.
But, it's too late!
The Storm Bear's massive paw, covered in steel-needle-like white fur and stained with blood, slammed down on the spot where Keane Blood was, carrying the power to destroy everything, like a collapsing mountain!
"Boom—!!!" You Lin Mei, Lin Mei is busy, Lin Zai Zai is not here...
A dull, heart-stopping bang followed.
Under the moonlight, Keane Blaze's powerful body exploded like a watermelon struck by a hammer the moment the giant hand landed! The cracking sound of bones breaking was clearly audible, and internal organs and shattered limbs mixed with dirt and gravel flew everywhere! The hideous scar on his body, along with his entire upper body, instantly turned into a pool of blurred flesh and blood, deeply embedded in the ground.
"Do not--!!!"
Seeing this, Baine Blaze let out a heart-wrenching roar, his blood-red eyes fixed on the spot where Keane Blaze had died, his raging fury almost setting him ablaze. Lorix Blaze also let out a grief-stricken roar, his chain axe slamming wildly at the Storm Bear.
Driven mad by immense pain, the Storm Bear went completely berserk. No longer focused on breaking out, it turned around abruptly after killing Keen Bloodblood, its crimson eye fixed on Thrallan a short distance away.
However, the moment the storm bear turned around, its massive body suddenly stiffened!
Because through its only remaining eye, it saw a group of figures that had appeared not far away—that is, Luo Jiajun and his group!
"Roar!!!"
A flicker of surprise flashed in the Storm Bear's single eye, which was then replaced by a deeper ferocity.
Besieged on all sides! It recognized Luo Jiajun, the human who had previously caused it to lose one of its eyes!
At this moment, a sharp glint flashed in Luo Jiajun's eyes.
Storm Bear has been severely injured by the orcs, and now is the perfect time to reap the rewards and earn summoning points!
"Anneiroz, mount Yeebu and retreat to a safe distance!" Luo Jiajun gave the order in rapid succession, his sharp gaze sweeping over the little witch. "That's an order!"
Anne-Loz's face tightened as she looked at the Storm Bear's terrifying power and the gruesome death of Keane Blaze.
Although she was extremely unwilling, she understood that in her current state, rushing forward would only be a burden. So she could only bite her lip, nod helplessly, and climb onto the Ye Yibu that had been prepared.
Then, with a "whoosh," Ye Yibu, carrying Annerose, transformed into a streak of emerald light and quickly retreated to a more distant location.
"Everyone else!" Luo Jiajun's voice cut through hesitation like a drawn sword. "Follow me and take down that bear ahead! Rosemon and Drailer, suppress it from the air! Yukikaze, use your lightning spear to find opportunities to attack its wounds and its remaining eye! Leda, 2B, and Rinko, follow me and charge straight in!"
Added URL 104
With a command, Luo Jiajun took the lead, wielding the summoned [True Silver Holy Sword], and charged like an arrow towards the Storm Bear, which was enraged by the discovery of its "old enemy"!
Rita, 2B, and Rinko Akiyama followed closely behind Luo Jiajun in their charge. Rosemon and Dreyer quickly took to the air, preparing to launch an aerial suppression attack. Yukikaze's petite figure was exceptionally agile; with a few leaps, she scaled the exterior wall of a nearby dilapidated building, slithering upwards like a gecko to find the best sniping position.
"Roar-!!!"
The Storm Bear's single eye locked onto Luo Jiajun, who was charging at the forefront, and its old and new grudges drove it completely mad.
It suddenly opened its blood-red maw, its chest heaving violently, and a shockwave, visible to the naked eye and mixed with a stench and violent energy, erupted like a sonic cannon at Luo Jiajun!
In an instant, the air was compressed into a piercing shriek, and a deep trench was plowed into the ground!
"Scatter!" Luo Jiajun's roar remained clear even amidst the howling.
Thanks to their experience from the previous battle, 2B and Leda maintained a spread-out formation during their charge. With Rinko joining them, the three girls, upon hearing the warning, instantly darted to the flanks, narrowly avoiding the devastating sonic wave.
But the three women were able to dodge successfully mainly because the core target of this roaring shockwave was Luo Jiajun!
This terrifying sound wave, like an invisible giant wall, enveloped Luo Jiajun, and looked like it was about to tear him apart.
At the critical moment, Luo Jiajun transformed into a cloud of black mist.
Shadow Step!
Abilities gained through the Overwatch Badge!
In an instant, Luo Jiajun's figure blurred and disappeared from the spot!
The next moment, accompanied by a slight spatial fluctuation, Luo Jiajun appeared out of thin air directly above the Storm Bear's huge head—the top of its head covered with thick, stiff white hair like steel needles!
"Pfft!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Luo Jiajun gripped the True Silver Holy Sword tightly with both hands, and using the momentum of his fall, he poured all his strength into the tip of the sword and thrust it downwards fiercely! The incomparably sharp holy sword instantly pierced through the tough and thick bear hide and sank deep inside!
However, just as the sword tip was about to touch his skull, a strong sense of dizziness and exhaustion suddenly struck! The Shadow Step's effects on both mind and body far exceeded Luo Jiajun's expectations.
"clang--!!!"
Immediately afterwards, a dull, teeth-grinding clang of metal rang out!
The tip of the Holy Sword was actually blocked by the Storm Bear's skull, which was harder than anyone could imagine! The sword only pierced the scalp an inch before it could not go any further! It was unclear whether it was because the Storm Bear was too thick-skinned or because Luo Jiajun was unable to unleash his full power due to a momentary lapse in concentration.
"Roar?!"
At that moment, the sharp pain and foreign object sensation from above enraged the Storm Bear!
It violently swung its massive head, attempting to fling Luo Jiajun away. At the same time, its enormous body, despite being severely injured, rose upright once more, its single remaining eye flashing with a crazed light, and a low, destructive roar emanating from deep within its throat!
"Woo-hum-hum!"
Accompanied by this strange low growl, an extremely violent hurricane suddenly erupted from the center of the storm bear!
This hurricane did not spread outwards, but instead instantly contracted and spun inwards, forming a towering, earth-shattering, bluish-gray storm barrier composed of countless sharp wind blades! The barrier spun at high speed, emitting a piercing shriek, completely enveloping the storm bear's massive body!
A terrifying wind pressure instantly descended upon Luo Jiajun!
"Ugh—!"
Luo Jiajun felt as if he had been thrown into a massive water pressure machine. The omnipresent, violent wind pressure began to squeeze his body from all directions. His skin felt as if it were being sanded by countless pieces of sandpaper, and his bones were groaning under the unbearable pressure!
He could only hold on tightly to the hilt of the holy sword stuck in the bear's head to barely maintain his posture, but breathing became extremely difficult under the powerful wind pressure, and his eyeballs seemed to be squeezed into the depths of their sockets by the wind pressure!
"Owner!"
The rose beast in the air cried out in alarm, its jade hand waving rapidly. Countless tough vines shot towards the storm barrier like javelins, attempting to entangle Luo Jiajun and pull him back.
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle—!"
However, the vines, strong enough to pierce through rock, were instantly shredded into countless fragments by the sharp wind blades the moment they touched the rapidly spinning storm barrier! They couldn't break through even an inch!
With a solemn expression, Draiel raised his hand and released a highly compressed dark purple magic energy bullet, which slammed into the storm barrier with an aura of annihilation!
"boom!"
The magic energy bomb exploded violently on the surface of the barrier, and the dark purple energy eroded it wildly, but it only stirred up a violent ripple on the barrier, like a boulder thrown into a lake, and ultimately failed to break through the barrier!
"Damn it!" Drail cursed, the storm barrier's defensive capabilities far exceeded her expectations.
Meanwhile, Yukikaze, who had climbed onto the rooftop of a nearby building, witnessed the scene of Dreyer's attack failing.
The girl's usual impatience and coquettishness disappeared, replaced by an almost cold focus. Her eyes narrowed to pinpoints, locked tightly on the storm bear's massive body.
She didn't fire rashly, but instead held her two lightning spears level, pointing them at Storm Bear. Fine lightning on the spears began to leap and gather silently, like a venomous snake poised to strike.
The thunderous power within the girl was being carefully guided and compressed. She knew she only had one chance! She had to wait for that moment when its power would be maximized, a single, fatal blow!
At the same time, 2B, Leta, and Rinko Akiyama rushed to the edge of the storm barrier. 2B's greatsword slashed towards the barrier with a piercing shriek, while Leta's light greatsword burst forth with dazzling golden light!
"Bang! Bang!"
With two muffled thuds, the two men felt as if they had crashed into an invisible, resilient wall of copper and iron. Not only did they fail to break through the barrier, but they were also shaken backward by the enormous force rebounding from it!
"let me!"
