Qin Ming suddenly discovered that the seal lid made an excellent weapon as he angrily grabbed it to attack. Covered in sealing arrays, the lid's damage against evil entities was maximized. While it burned his own hands, it burned the Skeletal Reaper's head even worse when smashed against it.
Swinging the lid, Qin Ming chased after the Reaper, knocking down any obstacles in his path with single strikes. Even boss-level creatures couldn't withstand a single hit, sent flying instantly. Armed with this makeshift divine weapon, Qin Ming completely overwhelmed the Reaper, especially with Zhao Honghua providing support.
Finally, one decisive lid strike to the skull shattered the Reaper into black smoke that was absorbed back into the seal lid. The guardian of the seal had been defeated by the seal itself. Of course, this wasn't permanent death—just like the vampire count and others could revive, the Reaper would likely recover after some time.
As the Reaper dissipated and the remaining monsters were sucked screaming back into the dark pit, Qin Ming exhaled and tossed the lid aside. When he bent to pick up the key the Reaper dropped, the ground suddenly trembled violently.
A massive black pillar erupted from the Dark Gate's pit, and a translucent specter shot out, laughing wildly. "Hahaha! I'm free at last! This emperor has—"
Thud!
A spinning lid smashed into its face, dispersing it momentarily. Qin Ming frowned at the thick black fog. "What the hell are you?"
The spirit quickly reformed, eyes glowing red. "You dare attack me? I am the Malevolent Spirit! The supreme ruler of the Dark World!"
"Then go rule your damn world. What are you doing here?"
"I'm here because this place will soon become my domain too!"
As it shrieked, more black fog surged from the pit, spreading rapidly. The specter merged into a nearby wall. "Let this world too become a paradise of evil!"
Boom!
The wall exploded outward, revealing a massive black-fog-shrouded robot now possessed by the spirit.
[Name: Steel Samurai (Possessed)]
[Strength: 80]
[Constitution: 80]
[Agility: 60]
[Spirit: ???]
[Skills: Dark Genesis (SSS), Iron Fist (B), Artillery Barrage (A)]
[Description: An immortal evil born from the Dark World's corruption.]
With a crunch, before Qin Ming could fully finish reading the attributes, the evil spirit possessed the specially made robot body that his underling had prepared in advance, instantly gaining a physical form. The iron plates on its back slid open.
The next second! Countless rocket shells wrapped in black gas streaked through the air in various arcs, shooting toward Qin Ming! Skill activated! Firepower Coverage!
The roaring explosions instantly merged into one, covering most of the hall.
Before the blasts finished, a blood-red shadow burst out from the chaos.
Transforming into blood mist, Qin Ming headbutted the evil spirit.
But the evil spirit, heavy and unmoving, showed no sign of retreating or falling. Instead, its mechanical arm released a blast of air from behind, accelerating and delivering a punch to Qin Ming.
With a loud boom, the punch hit successfully, breaking Qin Ming in half. Before a smile could appear on its face, the split Qin Ming transformed into blood again, merging back together and rushing toward the enemy.
At this moment, Qin Ming's abilities were quite unusual. His steel body made him immune to speed-based fighters, and his blood mist transformation made him completely unfazed by slow but powerful burst attackers.
In other words, to defeat Qin Ming now, one would need to be both extremely fast and terrifyingly powerful!
But the steel-version evil spirit clearly didn't have both abilities at once.
Slow in movement, it frantically fired rocket shells at the enemies swirling around it.
But after a continuous barrage, it hadn't hurt Qin Ming in the slightest; instead, Qin Ming controlled his blood to damage many of its parts.
Seeing that his mechanical body couldn't affect Qin Ming, the evil spirit's eyes flashed red. The next second, a bright light suddenly ignited from its chest.
Seeing this, Qin Ming grimaced and quickly retreated.
But he was still a step too slow. Before he could put distance between them, the evil spirit's mechanical body exploded.
Self-destruction!
The indiscriminate and terrifying blast sent out an unprecedented shockwave.
Even though Qin Ming rapidly transformed into blood mist, the explosion still blasted him flying.
Or rather, precisely because he was in blood mist form, he was injured even worse!
Spinning through the air, Qin Ming reformed into a human shape and used his blood to heal his wounds. His brows furrowed deeply.
Raising his hand to clear away dust, he was about to search for the enemy's whereabouts when suddenly, with a roaring sound, a continuous hail of bullets swept toward him.
He controlled his blood to form a shield and forcefully blocked the bullets. Looking up ahead, his eyes suddenly widened.
Because opposite him, with footsteps echoing, a figure slowly emerged.
And that figure was Kasamoto Eri! Surrounded by black fog and with red-glowing eyes—Kasamoto Eri possessed by an evil spirit!
[Name: Kasamoto Eri(Possessed)]
[Strength: 60]
[Constitution: 60]
[Agility: 80]
[Spirit: ???]
[Skills: Dark Genesis (SSS), Heavy Weapons Mastery (A), Combat Expertise (B)]
[Description: A modern arms specialist infused with dark energy.]
Grinning fiercely, Kasamoto Eri's eyes glowed blood red, and black fog wrapped around both her body and weapons.
"Time for internal strife!"
As she spoke, she raised her machine gun again and, pulling the trigger, unleashed a torrent of bullets straight at Qin Ming.
This final boss evil spirit of the Midnight Killing World could even control characters summoned by adventurers!
Moreover, it could further enhance the attributes of those it controlled, even strengthening their weapons and equipment!
Kasamoto Eri, who already had impressive stats and well-equipped gear, transformed into a terrifyingly powerful super boss capable of fighting at both close and long range!
