Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 1639: Doubles (2)

Whether it was Xiao Min, Dai Zhi, or the other members of Cloud Peak, they had all seen their fair share of the world. Yet, the sight of two humans ”merging” right before their eyes still sent chills down their spines.

Ye Zhongming also frowned. His knowledge from his past life no longer gave him the advantage of recognizing everything he encountered now. In his previous life, reaching only six-star evolution in ten years had destined him to be nothing more than an ordinary evolved. What he knew was common knowledge, and what he witnessed was mostly limited to what the Chinese region allowed him to see.

As for this kind of job where two people merged into one, he truly had no idea what it was.

Fortunately, the little boy provided him with an answer.

”Damn you, Cloud Peak! This time, you’re definitely going to lose!” Little Adam’s pretty face twisted in a way that was hard to imagine on a child. The previous impression he gave had been one of innocence, cuteness, beauty, and delicacy…

”Omni-Human!”

”A job beyond your imagination! With combat power you can’t even fathom—just wait to die!”

The little boy’s voice pierced through the energy arena, filled with absolute confidence that Hidden Snake Journey would win this round.

”Remember, after this, Melfis (Troyilia) and I will no longer owe your family anything. We’re leaving.”

The two ”half-persons” suddenly turned their heads and spoke, their single face split into two halves. When they spoke, the male and female voices blended together, sending a shiver down everyone’s spine.
”Got it, got it, shut up already!”

The little boy waved his hand impatiently, but his eyes darted around, clearly scheming something.

A massive claw mark descended from the sky, accompanied by a beast’s roar. Behind the claw mark were four streaks of black blade light.

Xiao Min and Dai Zhi had no interest in listening to their grievances. Since the Wheel Space had declared the start of the battle, they weren’t about to wait for their opponents to prepare or get distracted—they struck first.

Red-White Simba’s skill landed swiftly under the buff’s effects. The four black blade lights that followed were the ability of Dai Zhi’s weapon, the Backblade.

Melfis and Troyilia, who had just been speaking, suddenly twisted their bodies and split apart, moving to either side without even appearing to move their feet.

The two captains’ attacks missed.

Skills failing to hit their targets were normal—no one would just stand there waiting to be hit.

But there were many ways to dodge an attack, and the method these two freaks used was far too effortless.

Xiao Min and Dai Zhi were eight-star evolved. Their attacks weren’t something that could be casually avoided, especially not within the confined space of the energy arena.

Though surprised, Xiao Min and Dai Zhi didn’t hesitate. Without even exchanging a glance, they each charged toward one of their targets.

They didn’t know what abilities these half-persons possessed, but they could guess that the two were stronger when combined. Now that they had willingly separated, it was the perfect opportunity to defeat them individually.

Xiao Min engaged Troyilia, as the left half of this half-person was male. Though it had melted earlier, it had reformed after attaching to the other’s body.

Red-White Simba roared again, unleashing its skill that disrupted an opponent’s mental state.

At the same time, Xiao Min thrust her longsword toward the enemy’s eye socket.

Those with weak mental fortitude often died in a single strike.

The tip of the sword gleamed with a faint blue light. As it cut through the air, the very atmosphere seemed to split, producing a sharp sound and visible distortion.

”Swordsman? That job is a dime a dozen in North America. Figures it’d come from a worthless Korean.”

The little boy curled his lip in disdain when he saw Xiao Min’s skill.

This glowing thrust was the signature skill of the Swordsman class—Radiant Pierce.

Troyilia raised his left hand and directly intercepted the sword, which carried the combined momentum of Xiao Min and Red-White Simba’s charge.

Xiao Min’s initial joy quickly turned to suspicion.

At first, she thought the man wasn’t dodging because he had been affected by her battle beast’s skill, leaving him mentally dazed. But when she met his eyes, she found them completely clear.

If he wasn’t affected, then he must have some trick up his sleeve!

Yet Xiao Min didn’t pull back in the slightest.

So what if he was prepared? Could he really block it?!

Xiao Min had become Xia Bai’s proxy and the de facto commander of the Female Guards for a reason. In truth, her strength placed her among the elite of Cloud Peak’s core members.

This strike wasn’t something even her loyal protector, Ye Zhongming, could face head-on without evading.

Thud!

The glowing sword tip pierced into Troyilia’s palm, but no blood spilled out as expected.

The half-man, half-woman’s hand expanded like rubber, tightly wrapping around Xiao Min’s sword. And it didn’t stop there—it began creeping toward Xiao Min’s position.

To an outside observer, that was what it looked like. But in reality, Xiao Min felt an overwhelming force transmitted through the sword, forcibly halting the momentum of both her and her battle beast.

If this were a skill, it could be understood. But if it was merely the raw strength of this mutated hand, then it was terrifying.

Xiao Min’s mind raced, but her hands moved faster. She tossed a crystal grenade into the air.

This was a special grenade crafted for her by Le Dayuan—so special that Xiao Min had even cooked a meal for Master Le and Sister Hong in return.

Xiao Min’s cooking was renowned for its deliciousness, something previously only Ye Zhongming had been privileged to taste.

The unique white grenade exploded midair, releasing a shower of colorful glittering fragments.

At the same time, Troyilia’s left hand, which had engulfed the entire sword, reformed near the hilt, its fingers swelling and lifting to aim at Xiao Min.

Sssk!

The five fingers suddenly morphed into sharp, fleshy spikes, stabbing toward Xiao Min’s chest.

The glittering fragments rained down, and Red-White Simba lashed out with its claws. Both attacks landed almost simultaneously.

A series of crackling sounds erupted. Troyilia groaned in pain and staggered back, his hand—now restored to normal—dripping with blood.

The armor on his body was in tatters, and the half-male, half-female face now bore several bloody holes!

Cloud Peak didn’t fare much better. Red-White Simba whimpered softly, one of its paws drenched in blood, forcing it to kneel on the ground.

Xiao Min clutched her abdomen, her face still etched with disbelief. Her blue armor had five gaping holes, blood seeping out, and the glow from the armor had vanished, rendered useless in an instant!
