Zone Zero: I'm invincible now that the heavenly fire has killed Nineveh!

"Huh!?" Billy turned his head, looking at the ether energy blade so close to him with utter panic: "We're doomed!"

The sneak attack came too fast; he was still holding the safe, and he couldn't escape.

He couldn't help but feel a bit indignant. Even after becoming Yi Hai, how could he still be so insidious!

When the etheric energy blade fell, it seemed as if time slowed down countless times, and Billy's vision was filled with a revolving lantern.

The Star Knight's souvenirs, Monica from the Midnight Theater, and the wonderful days spent with everyone at the Rabbit House...

However, a loud bang rang in my ears.

Su Chen held his long sword horizontally, blocking Billy's path.

Sonorous!

[Thunder Fang] collided with the Ether Energy Blade, sparks flying everywhere.

Then, a force of ten tons was unleashed.

Su Chen directly sent Yi Hai flying.

Extreme support, perfectly achieved.

"Oh wow! I survived!" Billy snapped back to reality from his near-death experience and quickly grabbed the safe to stand with Nicole and Anby.

Su Chen also retreated with his knife and stood with the others.

"Thanks, Boss Su Chen! You saved my life again!" Billy shouted gratefully. "You're like the Meteorite Hound of the Star Knights, always coming to the rescue at crucial moments!"

"If you don't know how to compliment someone, you don't have to."

Su Chen said, somewhat speechless.

"Sorry, I meant you're reliable."

Billy said somewhat awkwardly.

Anbi ignored Billy's antics and looked at the skeleton seriously, saying, "This is the superior skeleton individual, Durahan, that the white guy became after being corrupted by the ether."

"Although it is only a newly born Durah, it has already reached the level of a Level 5 skeleton, with a threat level of 81. It is an opponent that needs to be watched out for."

The threat level of Yi Hai is 81, and it already requires a full squad of the defense force to deal with it.

Ordinary tunnel-raiding teams cannot survive under its control.

"I never expected that fake-crying uncle would cause so much trouble after he turned into Yi Hai." Nicole looked at Durham in front of her, feeling extremely troubled. "But, for the sake of the safe, let's go together!"

"Wait, let me try by myself." Su Chen stopped Nicole and said, "I want to stretch my muscles."

A level 5 or higher skeleton has 81 times the threat level of a level 1 or higher skeleton.

He used to just mow down enemies with unparalleled skill, but now he wants to test his strength.

Nicole advised, "That's a high-risk individual, shouldn't we avoid taking the risk?"

Anbi said seriously, "That's right. Although this Durahan is only in its initial stage, it's best if everyone goes all out to deal with it."

The last time she and Billy were together, they didn't gain much of an advantage against this Durham.

That being, with its immense power and defense, was astonishingly strong.

It's really worrying to let Su Chen go alone.

"It's alright, I know what I'm doing," Su Chen said with a smile. "If you see that I can't hold on any longer, then you can come to my aid."

Having played through the Void Zero in the game, he knew that there were many types of high-ranking skeletons, and Durahn was just one of the mediocre ones.

If even Durrah can't be dealt with, then the other Twin Knights and the fusion of beasts are even less of a threat.

We need to test the waters with Durham first.

"Okay, then be careful." Seeing Su Chen's firm attitude, Nicole could only agree: "If you can't hold on, be sure to tell us in advance. It wouldn't be good if we found out too late."

"Go ahead without worry, Boss Su Chen, I'll be ready to support you at any time!" Billy pulled out his dual pistols and said earnestly, "Star Knight is your strongest support!"

"Ok, I know."

Su Chen nodded slightly and looked at Durham.

It was tall, nearly four meters, and its entire body was covered with gray-black ether crystals. The ether energy liquid in the gaps of the ether crystal armor emitted a bright green light.

His right arm fused with the ether energy blade, and his left arm fused with the heavy ether crystal shield.

What is most striking is that it has no head; instead, it has a black hole-like core of bones.

It looks like a killing machine.

But in the short time it took Su Chen and Nicole to exchange a few words, Durham launched an attack on him.

His nearly four-meter-tall body was not bulky at all, and when he charged, he was as fast as a knight on a warhorse.

In the blink of an eye, they covered dozens of meters.

If it weren't for the holes made by Durham's high heels on the ground, people would think it was as light and gentle as the wind.

A dark shadow flashed by, and Durham appeared in front of Su Chen.

He raised the ether energy blade in his right hand high and slashed down with it, using the momentum of the impact.

White Miguel was a skilled swordsman even before the corruption, and he still retained some of his swordsmanship instincts after becoming a skeleton.

This strike was powerful and heavy, creating a resounding gust of wind.

"Just in time!"

Su Chen did not dodge; he wanted to confront it head-on.

He gripped the 20-centimeter-long knife handle with both hands, his arms bulging with veins.

Then he suddenly swung his sword to collide with the etheric energy blade that was slashing down from the front.

boom!

Blades clashed, like the sharp teeth of two steel behemoths tearing at each other.

Sparks from the metal collision and fragments of etheric energy were scattered out.

Durrah's ethereal energy blade was forcefully suppressed.

Then, the immense force from the clash of the two knives forced the over four-meter-tall Durahhan to move backward.

The small high heels formed from etheric crystals on their feet left two deep marks on the ground.

"That's all."

Su Chen's relaxed evaluation.

In terms of pure strength, Duraham, who was at level five or above, was no match for him.

After all, Level 5 is only 81 times more threatening than Level 1, not 81 times more powerful.

Since she was no match for him in terms of strength, there was no need to continue trying.

Su Chen gripped his long sword and leaped high towards Du Lahan.

The blade was icy cold, and after a flash of cold light, it struck the top of Durrah's head, its target being the enormous core of the skeleton.

Durham raised his shield with his left hand to protect the core.

The ethereal energy blade in his right hand slashed towards Su Chen's body.

It didn't know why the human in front of it was jumping up to attack it; its remaining memories told it that enemies jumping in mid-air had greater weaknesses.

As long as it blocks the human's attack, the etheric energy blade will slice the opponent in two.

Sonorous!

Su Chen slashed at the shield with his sword.

The immense strength combined with the sharpness of the longsword shattered the etheric shield into pieces, and Durrah was forced to bend his knees under the force.

At that moment, Durham's knife came slashing down in the waist.

It was about to slice into Su Chen's waist.

Using the recoil from the sword striking the shield, Su Chen once again soared two meters into the air.

Using gravitational potential energy, he once again slashed at the shield above Durham's head.

boom!

Large cracks appeared in the shield, and Durrah stomped the platform floor with his feet.

Then, Su Chen once again slashed down from mid-air, this time jumping higher and slashing even harder.

boom!

The shield shattered completely, and Durrah knelt on the ground.

Large cracks appeared on the subway platform, and fragments of floor tiles and shields flew out.

Then, Su Chen used the reaction force to perform a third jumping strike, this time reaching a height of ten meters.

Durham held the etheric energy blade across his core, attempting to block the final blow.

however……

boom!

The etheric energy blade shattered along with the massive core.

The colorful black ethereal energy radiated outwards, like a magnificent firework.

Su Chen used the reaction force to jump away again.

He sheathed [Thunder Fang] in mid-air and landed lightly.

Su Chen jumped from the moment of the first attack until the fourth attack when Durrah died, finally landing on the ground.

He only made a slight move, yet it exceeded Durham's limits.

Life is truly as lonely as snow.
