Chapter 84

Chapter 84: Female Valkyrie Dominates the Battlefield 【55k】

“What’s going on?”

As the dust from the Spiritual Energy explosion settled, the Players who had intended to go up and help Bai Fu stopped in their tracks.

The Players who had been blasted away by the explosion also disregarded their injuries, confusedly climbing back to their feet.

It wasn’t their fault for lacking combat discipline; it was impossible not to be stunned during such a tense fight. The only blame could be placed on how rapidly the situation between Bai Fu and Graham changed!

From Bai Fu stepping forward with her Electric Knife to Graham being beaten to his knees, the entire process took just over a minute.

But within this short time, the battle dynamics reversed twice.

The first reversal happened when everyone saw Bai Fu’s health bar displayed in the live stream. With that excessively long health bar, all the players thought Bai Fu would secure victory effortlessly.

However, the actual combat unfolded in an unexpected manner.

Bai Fu was clearly being suppressed by Graham. For every slash she made at Graham, he could counter with four of his own. Although she had a Spiritual Energy shield protecting her, once the shield was broken and her skills entered Cooldown Time, it would be disastrous.

Many players wanted to rush in and help, but at that moment, Bai Fu executed a clean and crisp spinning slash, announced an icy explosion, and unleashed a pale blue energy storm, causing the battle dynamics to reverse again.

“Is this even possible?”

“Holy crap, what was that move?”

To describe the course of the battle using the barrage comments floating through the live stream:

[Bai Fu in trouble → Bai Fu using desperate moves → Bai Fu locked in fierce battle → Bai Fu struggling desperately → Bai Fu’s defeat seems certain → Bai Fu makes a victory speech]

Although they didn’t fully understand, it was clear that Bai Fu had taken absolute control of the battle.

She stepped forward a few paces and used her right foot, encased in black boots, to press down on the knife that had fallen from Graham’s hand.

The faint glow of the electric blade illuminated Bai Fu’s cold side face and revealed Graham’s somewhat evasive eyes.

This one step didn’t just crush Graham’s knife; it crushed his hopes of winning, as well as the hearts of the players!

“Awesome, awesome, awesome!”

“I apologize for cursing the game company earlier; they really know how to create iconic scenes!”

“Amazing, Fu Fu is amazing, Fu Fu’s legs are amazing!”

“Shit, is now the time to talk about legs?”

Now is the time for “Combat! Excitement!”!

All the players who participated in the ambush with Bai Fu were delighted.

A BOSS, huh? Tall and strong like a bear that can use Qi, huh?

Unfortunately, our Fu Fu is even more powerful. Fu Fu isn’t just a BOSS; she’s the Version Protagonist!

Kill, kill mercilessly! The Version Protagonist must mercilessly oppress the antagonist!

Graham began to feel uneasy.

Not because of the “eager” stares from the players, though those stares were indeed terrifying, giving him the illusion that he might be pinned down and experience ultimate humiliation at any moment.

Nor was it because of the knife falling to the ground and being stepped on by Bai Fu. He had faced many dangers on his way to becoming the deputy minister of special operations, and this was nothing compared to that.

The real issue was that he couldn’t figure out how Bai Fu had detonated Spiritual Energy inside him just now.

If you can’t see through the moves, how can you counter them?

Real-life life-and-death battles are different from playing games and challenging bosses.

In games, if you don’t know the boss’s moves and get killed, you can always start over, using death to pave the way to victory. But in life-and-death battles, if you don’t understand your opponent’s moves and get killed, that’s truly dying.

It seemed he had no choice but to abandon his most skilled combat style!

Graham suddenly stood up from the ground, like a brown bear waking up from hibernation, exuding a violent aura.

Intimidation!

But his intimidation fell flat; Bai Fu remained completely unmoved.

Surprised? I’ve got cheats!

Bai Fu clearly saw a [Qi Exhausted] debuff behind Graham’s name, lasting for 20 seconds. This was because Graham had no guard up, resulting in his Qi being disrupted by the Dimensional Erosion explosion.

Just bluster.

She immediately swung her sword, striking Graham’s chest.

The Arc Blade cut through the armor Graham wore on his upper body, plowing a charred wound into his flesh, which then emitted wisps of smoke.

“Aaaah—”

A cry of pain erupted from Graham’s mouth.

He had originally planned to scare Bai Fu, make her adopt a defensive stance, and then take the opportunity to escape. Now, he had no choice but to run headlong.

“Hold her back quickly!”

Graham shouted loudly.

If he could just buy himself a few seconds, he could regroup and charge back into the blast-proof vehicle where there were several specially-made gas grenades.

Against opponents like Bai Fu whose moves are incomprehensible, the correct approach is simply to bomb them with gas grenades. Whether Bai Fu dies or survives doesn’t matter as long as the job gets done.

Graham wasn’t someone with heavy curiosity; he cared only about victory, regardless of how he achieved it.

Under his shout, some Truth Society agents who were fighting with the players turned their guns around.

Fire!

A dense barrage of bullets grazed past Graham’s body, engulfing Bai Fu.

What unsettled Graham was that this wave of gunfire failed to inflict any substantial damage on Bai Fu. What kind of monster was this?

A Spiritual Prayer Mage, huh? He instinctively compared Bai Fu to Youlia, the last Spiritual Prayer Mage he had proclaimed unbeatable.

However, this round of gunfire wasn’t entirely useless; at least it slowed Bai Fu’s pursuit.

Alright, just…

“Shit, ganging up on one person, huh?”

“Damn, this isn’t fair at all. Calling for backup when you can’t win in a 1v1, huh? Coach Ma here is going to punish you!”

“Brothers, charge! If we don’t, they’ll think our Fu Fu has no support.”

“Haha, the reward for first place is mine!”

Enraged players immediately retaliated. Gunfire sounded like exploding firecrackers, forcing Graham to dodge bullets in a zigzag pattern.

His body was tough, but not tough enough to withstand so many bullets without Qi support.

Good news was that his agents’ quality was clearly higher than that of the opposing group. Even with fewer numbers, they wouldn’t fall into a disadvantage anytime soon.

Perfect.

Hurry back to the car.

Graham clutched his injured left arm and rolled behind a large rock. Just as he aimed for the next cover, a sudden roar came from above.

“Haha, it’s now!”

An unfamiliar voice, bad news!

Graham was shocked.

The person who jumped out from behind was a Convert to Me Fu, holding a grenade.

As a representative of the suicide-style players, he had been looking for opportunities since the battle started. Crawling close to the ground, he finally managed to sneak to a position very close to Graham.

Time to solo the BOSS!

Boom!

The grenade exploded, killing Convert to Me Fu instantly. Graham used his reorganized Qi to protect his vital organs, yet he was still thrown two meters away, his left hand feeling as if it had been hammered by a big iron hammer.

Shit.

Both Graham and some new players cursed simultaneously in their hearts.

The former was angry, while the latter felt as if they had discovered a new continent.

In terms of shooting, they weren’t as good as those old pros, but when it came to embracing bombs and dying with the enemy, the gap between them and the pros wasn’t significant. No matter whether it was Old Deng or Little Deng, getting bombed up close would result in instant death anyway.

The key was that this method could guarantee experience rewards for several kills. For them, who were currently at low levels, this was undoubtedly the best shortcut to level up.

New players were envious, and veteran players, seeing Convert to Me Fu showing off again, were also envious.

They prepared to charge, sending Graham and those agents to meet God.

At this moment, Bai Fu stepped forward.

“You guys go deal with the scattered soldiers around and block this road to prevent them from escaping. As for Graham and his cronies, leave them to me.”

Move aside quickly, Super Small Fu is about to show off!

Huh?

The players all turned to look at Bai Fu. Wasn’t this too dangerous?

After all, Ye Wen challenged ten people, but there were already more than ten agents guarding Graham.

Bai Fu remained calm.

The new version had just started, and this was her peak period of popularity. It was rare to have such a good opportunity to show off in front of the players, so how could she let it slip easily?

Today, she would fight seven rounds, not only breaking Graham’s courage but also carving out a unique space in the players’ hearts—

Silent Courtyard is impressive, but the leader of Silent Courtyard, Bai Fu, is the most impressive!

Persistently insisting, the players could only follow Bai Fu’s orders. After all, Bai Fu was the task-giving sister.

But not all players went to deal with the agents providing fire support to Graham from the periphery. Sword Aura Sky Piercing and Lao Gou, among others, did not move. They kept watch from behind, ready to offer support at any time. Compared to the reward for eliminating an agent, they valued helping Bai Fu more.

Graham did not underestimate Bai Fu just because she said she would fight against more than ten people; instead, his expression became increasingly solemn.

“Next, I will draw her attention…”





His words were not yet finished when Bai Fu had already charged in.

For Bai Fu, with an agility of 21, the distance was but a blink of an eye.

Flickering electric light slashed through the air, cutting straight toward Graham’s head.

Graham, despite his massive figure, was not slow at all. He dodged back, creating space, and immediately over a dozen agents nearby initiated pursuit—some firing guns, others wielding their unique weapons.

Bai Fu found herself surrounded by enemies. She swung her blade against an agent’s armor, and the next second, a sniper hidden in the dark unleashed a bullet that precisely hit her between the brows.

Her body slightly reclined backward during this opening, and two agents swiftly chopped at both her hands.

So there was another one hiding?

The greatest advantage for a sniper is their eyesight.

[Universal Card: Visual Fog]

Bai Fu endured the two slashes and pulled out a prayer card from her pocket.

This was a byproduct produced while synthesizing [Universal Card: Spatial Distortion], its effect being to obscure vision with fog.

She didn’t use Spatial Distortion, saving that card as her trump card for rescues. As for Visual Fog, there was no need to hold back; she acted when necessary!

She threw the prayer card, and the sniper immediately panicked upon finding himself blind.

Bang!

A bullet fired, hitting an unlucky Truth Society agent.

Bai Fu wasted no time, stabbing the agent in the chest. Electric currents surged, damage numbers popped up like oil leaking, and the agent screamed like a slaughtered pig.

Before he died, Dimensional Erosion successfully stacked five layers.

Chain Reaction bound the two, explode!

In an instant, three spiritual energy storms swept across the battlefield centered on this agent, the agent beside him, and Graham.

“Hurry up and get out of the way!”

“Ah!”

After the explosion, six agents were knocked down, those who weren’t hit were scared to death.

What on earth is going on?

They had no idea, so they could only look towards Graham, who’d just been blown up again.

Graham spat blood, excruciating pain turning his eyes red, entering the second phase of rage.

“Kill her, you must kill her, or none of us will leave here alive today!”

A very correct judgment, but useless!

Bai Fu checked her spiritual energy shield. After enduring multiple rounds of attacks, the shield had less than 200 points left, but she still had 1730 health points!

She didn’t know if the other side would feel desperate, but she felt pretty good. Her remaining spiritual energy could still support her to explode two or three more times.

“Steal your buff!”

When Graham attacked, Bai Fu directly used Chain Reaction to steal his second-phase buff.

This move is called using your magic against you!

Graham’s spiritual energy resistance and inspiration were too low; he couldn’t resist her stealing his buff.

[Fierce Burning]: Strength +20%, Agility +20%, Spirit +10%, Physical Resistance +30%, Toughness +10, Health Recovery Speed +20/minute.

Most of the effects of this buff were percentage-based attribute increases, which didn’t significantly benefit Bai Fu, whose strength and agility were not high. Even if she fought Graham with this buff, it wouldn’t help much.

But even small gains are worthwhile, and Bai Fu took them.

Carrying Graham’s Fierce Burning buff, Bai Fu completely ignored Graham and turned around to attack the agents.

Stacking Dimensional Erosion would definitely be faster on these agents than on Graham.

Graham’s original intention was to have these agents join forces with him to beat Bai Fu, increasing the chances of victory. But he never expected that this would instead give Bai Fu an opportunity.

Bai Fu wielded her Kirilenko electric knife with great vigor after only two and a half days of practice.

She rushed into the crowd, initiating a wide-sweeping attack. The electric knife spun along with her body, pulling bright arcs around her, slashing any unfortunate soul and pursuing them relentlessly.

Even though Graham chased her from behind, she wasn’t afraid, focusing solely on weaving in and out of the crowd without getting a single drop of her own blood on her.

Wide-sweeping attack, wide-sweeping attack!

Once Dimensional Erosion reached five stacks, she immediately followed up with Silent Courtyard Guillotine (Detonation).

Limb and blood flew together, electric light mingled with spiritual energy.

One after another, the agents fell.

Bai Fu went berserk, and the people on the Truth Society side were almost driven mad.

Fierce Burning allowed Graham to temporarily forget the pain, but he could clearly feel that even though he was constantly regenerating health, he was still feeling like he couldn’t hold on much longer.

Why, despite having hit Bai Fu several times with his Qi attacks, was Bai Fu still lively and energetic?

“I can’t believe how strong this is!”

“I overestimated myself. I thought I could help Bai Fu, but with Bai Fu’s skills, I’m doing well enough not to get in the way.”

“Is this the power of the protagonist? Too powerful!”

[Why am I watching live streams on my knees?]

[What kind of Valkyrie waterbird dance is this?]

Sword Aura Sky Piercing and the other players in the live stream room almost dropped their jaws.

They clearly saw Graham, who had activated his second phase and looked menacing, get broken through by Bai Fu, then turn around and run away.

This was ridiculous! Whose game boss runs away so shamefully before finishing the second phase and moving on to the plot?

Of course, Bai Fu wouldn’t let Graham escape. She still needed information from him.

She held her knife and followed Graham all the way.

Graham was sweating profusely.

As long as he could reach that place, as long as he could grab the gas bombs in the car.

Even if Bai Fu’s abilities were special, unless she was naturally immune to poison, she would die here today.

Actually, throwing gas bombs at close range would kill him too, but he couldn’t think about that now. If he didn’t throw, he would die; if he did, at least he could take someone down with him.

Ding!

Suddenly, an electrified knife pierced into the car in front of him, electricity conducting through his body, making it convulse uncontrollably.

It’s over, everything is over!

Despair filled Graham’s heart.

As his body slipped, he saw Bai Fu walking towards him from behind, picking up the electric knife.

“You should know that iron conducts electricity. Why go near the car?”

Bai Fu smiled and kicked Graham in the stomach, causing him to lose all ability to resist due to convulsions.

She bent down and poked Graham’s body with the tip of her knife.

“Rest assured, I don’t want to kill you. I just need some intelligence from you. Tell me the locations of all the Truth Society bases and where the people President Youlia threatened are being held.”

Graham clenched his teeth and remained silent.

Bai Fu had anticipated he would tough it out, so she prepared a special interrogation package for Graham.

“Not talking, huh?”

She first gagged Graham, then dismantled a terminal device from the car and pressed the recall button. Soon, a voice came from the other end.

“Graham, what’s the sudden contact…?”

“Are you the president of the Truth Society?” Bai Fu asked.

The person on the terminal hesitated for a moment: “No, who are you?”

“I am a senior agent of the Gene Progenitor. Today, you sent Graham to attack our factory, and I plan to let your president hear Graham’s voice.”

“What?”

The person on the terminal was shocked and quickly called the president of the Truth Society over.

“I am the president of the Truth Society.”

An unfamiliar voice came from the terminal. This might be her first time speaking with the president of the Truth Society, suspected to be the biggest BOSS of Source Star, but Bai Fu felt inexplicably calm.

Perhaps this was the composure that NPCs who were once players should have.

“Suggest you listen carefully.”

After saying this, Bai Fu dragged Graham to the terminal, removing the cloth from his mouth.

Finally freed, Graham immediately shouted: “President…”

The word hadn’t even finished when he realized in horror that he had lost control of his body.

It was Bai Fu; Bai Fu used combat etiquette.

Within 2 seconds, Bai Fu didn’t do anything extra, just opened her mouth and said a dirty word.

“Shit!”

These words came out of her mouth and also out of Graham’s mouth.

At this moment, both the president of the Truth Society and Graham were stunned. They never expected things to develop this way.

Bai Fu gagged Graham again.

Then, the volcano erupted.

“G-R-E-A-H-M!”

“You, born traitor, I’ve always suspected there was a saboteur among us, and it turns out that saboteur is you!”

“You’re dead, don’t think that because you’ve hooked up with the gene progenitor, you’ll survive. I…”

Click.

Bai Fu cut off the communication, stepping on Graham’s chest with a mocking smile.

No.

That wasn’t what I said!

Graham fell into unprecedented fear.

In the eyes of the players, Bai Fu stepping on Graham’s chest seemed like a valkyrie, incredibly heroic. But in Graham’s eyes, this young woman wearing a mask was nothing short of a devil incarnate!

Talk, won’t you talk?!

PS: Thanks to “Traveling in the World” for the reward.
