NOVEL WEB Chapter 387: 384 Warhammer Form
Actually, Lu Wu's transformation hardly required any effort at all.
He had staged the previous act to have the Ninth Apostle help delay time, run outside the secret realm to transform, but his true aim was to release Little Skeleton and the rest.
Using the army of the Undead, he was to cook a pot large enough to stew the Eighth Apostle.
Then invite the lord into the pot!
The plan went quite smoothly.
The Eighth Apostle, anxious to take down Lu Wu, had never anticipated Lu Wu's trick and had fallen into Lu Wu's trap, becoming a turtle in a jar.
At that moment, three terrifying attacks descended, and the Eighth Apostle faced an unprecedented assault.
The first was the skill "Group Undead Pressure."
Even though Little Skeleton's power was one star less than the Evilized Skeleton King and his Undead Army was reduced by more than a third compared to the Skeleton King.
Little Skeleton also had its advantages. It possessed seventeen pairs of lower tier Bone Dragon Knights and a King Level 1 Star Bone Dragon.
Moreover, after advancing, Little Skeleton's talent and power were much stronger than the Evilized King.
The "Group Undead Pressure" it unleashed was every bit as powerful as the previous onslaught by the Evilized Skeleton King, perhaps even more formidable.
And this wave of attack was only supplementary.
The truly deadly assaults were from Indeks and Lu Wu's twin roars.
Both roars were of Ultimate Level, terrifyingly powerful.
Moreover, at that time the Eighth Apostle had unlocked the sealing of the Kusanagi Sword, but the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword was outside.
It fully unleashed the "King of Divine Artifacts" to reseal the Kusanagi Sword.
Without the power burst from the Kusanagi Sword, the Eighth Apostle was instantly dazed.
The terrifying Undead Pressure struck, the Eighth Apostle trembled under the blow, barely managing to put up a defense when Indeks' roar came.
Mixed with flames and Death Energy Dragon Power, the roar pierced straight through the Eighth Apostle's defenses and struck his chest.
"Ah!!"
An unimaginable agony made the Eighth Apostle involuntarily roar out.
His face became exceedingly fierce.
"Lu Wu, don't think such a small trick can kill me. Wait and see, I will gradually shatter your bones, making you wish you could neither live nor die.
Ah..."
The Eighth Apostle couldn't finish his threatening speech when Lu Wu's roar came.
Together with Indeks's roar, they pincered from front and back, this roar directly penetrating the chest of the Eighth Apostle.
Utterly drowning the Eighth Apostle in the assault.
The Eighth Apostle's roar, his moan, was also submerged.
It seemed this formidable man was already reduced to ashes under this tide-like onslaught.
Watching this fiercely overpowering attack, even the Ninth Apostle, saved by Lu Wu, gasped in shock.
If she faced such an attack, she probably wouldn't last a minute, right?
On Lu Wu's side, they pounded the Eighth Apostle for a good fifteen minutes.
Only when the Eighth Apostle in the center was utterly silent and their energy on this side was almost spent did they stop their assault.
When all the attacks ceased.
The oppressive roar and dust dispersed.
The spot where the Eighth Apostle had just been now had nothing.
Seeing this, the Ninth Apostle sighed with relief.
"Finally dead..."
"Who said I'm dead?"
Just as the Ninth Apostle thought they had completely taken down the Eighth Apostle, a cold, low voice filled with boundless anger rang out.
Immediately after, from the ground where the Eighth Apostle was located, a severed hand clutching a sword emerged.
The one who had just spoken was this severed hand.
The extremely formidable Eighth Apostle, in the end, all that remained was only this one hand.
However, the Eighth Apostle, despite his tragic state, was unexpectedly arrogant.
"Is the fight finally over? Are you out of strength? Then, it's my turn now, isn't it?"
As the Ninth Apostle wondered how he could still be so arrogant in such a condition,
the severed hand lit up with a bloody red glow, and to the Ninth Apostle's horror, the once maimed Eighth Apostle began to recover at a terrifying speed.
In less than ten seconds, the Eighth Apostle had completely recovered.
"Surprised? Shocked?"
The recovered Eighth Apostle looked at Lu Wu with a triumphant expression on his face.
"That was really dangerous just now, I even had to sacrifice most of my body to save one arm.
To be honest, it was very tough for me. If you had persisted in bombarding me for another hour or two, I might have actually died!
But unfortunately, you won't get that chance anymore.
Now it's my turn, have you thought about how you want to die?"
During the speech, the Eighth Apostle pointed the Kusanagi Sword at Lu Wu.
The corner of his mouth was filled with extreme disdain and murderous intent.
It must be said, this scene was indeed quite frustrating.
Even the battle-hardened Ninth Apostle felt like crumbling when he saw the current Eighth Apostle.
How do you fight such an opponent?
Strong and highly durable, an opponent who can't be killed no matter how you attack is simply unbeatable.
This made the Ninth Apostle couldn't help but suggest to Lu Wu,
"Lu Wu, maybe we should retreat for now."
At that moment, however, Lu Wu just laughed, "Retreat? Why?"
Saying that, Lu Wu's shape shifted as he reverted from his Jiao Long state to human form.
"Little Skeleton, give me your Bone Staff."
(Oh!)
The obedient Little Skeleton handed over the Bone Staff to Lu Wu.
A pair of Pupil Fires fixed intently on Lu Wu.
(Indeed, the clean Lu Wu is the most beautiful Lu Wu, Little Skeleton likes Lu Wu the most.)
Lu Wu caught the Bone Staff in one hand, ignoring the adoring Little Skeleton, and boldly walked towards the excessively arrogant Eighth Apostle.
Surprisingly, the previously ferocious and arrogant Eighth Apostle, upon seeing Lu Wu approaching, had a pair of eyes flickering and a faint hint of panic appeared on his face.
As Lu Wu stepped forward, the Bone Staff in his hand underwent a transformation.
The Bone Staff shifted to its third form.
This evolution of the Bone Staff had already begun before Lu Wu and Little Skeleton separated.
Back then, the Bone Staff possessed two forms: the Silver Spear and the Bone Staff form.
And when Lu Wu reunited with Little Skeleton, the Bone Staff had acquired yet another form, that is the Warhammer Form.
And now, what Lu Wu was using was the Warhammer Form.
…
Item: Bone Staff (Warhammer Form)
Quality: Legend
Description: The Warhammer form is a transformation derived from the Light Energy absorbed by Little Skeleton during the University Alliance competition; it primarily uses Light Energy for attacks, which aren't very powerful against enemies of other attributes, but are a veritable nightmare for Evil Summoners and those with Undead Attributes.
…
Little Skeleton had previously been able to resist the attacks from an Evilized Undead King bursting into King-level 3 stars strength because of this item.
And now, Lu Wu had brought out this form.
The Eighth Apostle, who had been merely bluffing, completely panicked.
He turned to run, but where could he go?
In this pot-like enclosure, he could only be cornered by Lu Wu.
"Unexpected, right?"
"Surprising, right?"
"Undead, right?"
"Let me think about how to die, right?"
Lu Wu, blocking the Eighth Apostle, swung his warhammer in a relentless barrage.
The Eighth Apostle, who had sustained a fierce onslaught for fifteen minutes and barely recovered, had no strength left to resist Lu Wu's assault.
Every hammer strike from Lu Wu delivered a fatal, irreversible blow.
He was about to die!
If he didn't do something now, he would truly die.
Fear of death enveloped the Eighth Apostle, triggering his intense desire to survive, making his brain frantically brainstorm various pleas for mercy.
"Don't kill me. If you kill me, the Sakuragi family won't survive either."
"Kill me, and Lord Fourth Envoy will not let you go."
"I have secrets about the Gate. Just let me live, and I'll tell you everything!"
...
All pleas from the Eighth Apostle were in vain as Lu Wu's hammer continued to pound down until only the apostle's head remained.
One more strike and he would be dead.
At this critical moment, the Eighth Apostle shouted his final hope.
"Somebody is targeting Pang Duddu!"
At this last shout, Lu Wu's warhammer trembled, but it did not stop and slammed down.
With a "plop," the Eighth Apostle's head was smashed to pieces.
A top-tier leader of the Zero Organization, controlling District 11, died just like that.
As for the last words of the Eighth Apostle, Lu Wu didn't believe them at all.
After all, his Dudu was such an obedient and cute girl.
Silly and foolish—who would bully her for no reason?
Besides, did they really think Lu Haikong was dead?
Having already lost one Lu Wu, if they targeted Dudu, wouldn't that be digging their own grave?
Thus, Lu Wu was utterly skeptical.
"He just said that to deceive me, right?"
Well then, since it concerned Dudu, Lu Wu was still a bit anxious.
After dealing with the Eighth Apostle, he immediately turned to ask the Ninth Apostle.
The Ninth Apostle furrowed his brows instantly, which made Lu Wu even more nervous: "Could someone really be foolish enough to target my Dudu?"
"It's hard to say, especially since Pang Duddu has been very high-profile lately."
"What has she done to warrant such attention?"
Lu Wu was even more baffled.
What could his Dudu possibly have done?
He quickly called Little Skeleton and asked about Dudu's recent situation.
He was fine not asking, but once he did, Little Skeleton couldn't hold back anymore.
Crying while hugging Lu Wu.
(Tuantuan's Lu Wu has become so terrible, so mean to Little Skeleton and Little Flood Dragon, always making stinky Tuantuan hit us.
Can we stop being good with Tuantuan's Lu Wu from now on?
We don't need her anymore, she can't even cook or do laundry, she's useless!
In the future, Little Skeleton will cook and do laundry for Lu Wu!)
"What are you talking about?"
Lu Wu pushed Little Skeleton away and called Indeks to inquire about Dudu's situation.
Indeks didn't understand either.
Lu Wu could only know so much from this side; at most, he knew that Dudu seemed to have slimmed down and Tuantuan had gotten stronger.
Moreover, Dudu seemed like a completely different person.
Beyond that, it was beyond Indeks' concern and comprehension.
In the end, Lu Wu could only focus his attention on the Ninth Apostle.
Then, Lu Wu got an unbelievable piece of news from the Ninth Apostle.
"You're saying Dudu replaced me and became the student council president of Jiangnan University?"
"You're saying Dudu integrated Jiangnan University and absorbed Dong University and Jiangbei University?"
"You're saying Dudu is planning to create the Southern University Alliance, and once successful, she'll completely become the queen of District 1 Jiangnan, even the whole southern region?"
"You're not joking with me, are you?"
Lu Wu found it hard to imagine.
In just a few months, his Dudu, the silly, foolish girl he thought he could deceive into having pregnancies for him without even needing sweets, had become a decisive big shot who reigned supreme.
"It's fake, it must be fake!"
Although Lu Wu said this, he also knew that the Ninth Apostle had no reason to lie to him.
This made Lu Wu quite uncomfortable.
When he was around, how had he not realized that Dudu was such an incredible person?
Was it because she hid her capabilities too well?
Or was it his presence that had hindered Dudu's performance?
Unable to figure it out, Lu Wu was scratching his head in confusion.
"It seems I must make a trip back to District 1."
Fake or real, he had to go back and see Dudu.
However, before heading back, Lu Wu still had some matters to attend to.
Now that the Eighth Angel had died, it was time for the enjoyable segment.
First, Lu Wu took the possessed Kusanagi Sword from the Eighth Angel.
It happened to be a feast for the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword, which was out of food.
Lu Wu cleaned up the evil energy from the Kusanagi Sword, then tossed it to the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword for it to handle.
Although this sword was of a higher level than the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword, because it had been eroded by evil energy for a long time and its master had been killed, it was left with little resistance, which the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword could do as it wished with.
Afterward, Lu Wu sent Little Skeleton and the others back to the Gate of the Undead, switched back to his Evil Cultivator state, and re-entered the secret realm headquarters of Sector 11.
Since the Eighth Apostle had died, Lu Wu naturally should also take over the Eighth Apostle's property.
What surprised Lu Wu was.
When he re-entered the secret realm, the 72nd Apostle was still there.
He was guarding the entrance to the secret realm, shivering all over, but respectfully waiting.
When he spotted Lu Wu and the Ninth Apostle entering, though his face showed some surprise, he immediately bowed his head.
"Greetings to Lord Eighth Apostle."
Look at this posture, this reaction.
The perfect representation of a tumbleweed, rolling wherever it should without dragging or delaying.
Lu Wu glanced at the 72nd Apostle in front of him, contemplating whether or not to kill this fellow, since he seemed to have discovered Lu Wu's identity.
After hesitating for a moment, Lu Wu decided not to act yet.
Yet he casually threw a stream of energy into this one's energy space.
With that energy, Lu Wu could kill him at any moment.
After dealing with that, Lu Wu patted the 72nd Apostle's shoulder and said, "Let's go, lead me to where the Sakuragi Family is being held."
......
Handsome, charming readers.
Are you sure you won't give your handsome counterpart, Nu Xiao, some votes?
