Chapter 5:Brother, I was wrong!
_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
After a low growl, the wolf spider suddenly leaped out.
But Liz, who was on edge, reacted the instant the wolf spider Zerg moved.
Liz swung his sword with both hands, aiming for the head of the wolf spider Zerg.
The wolf spider Zerg twisted its body in mid-air and shot out spider silk from its rear end. The silk stuck to the ceiling, and it swayed backward to avoid the slash.
At the same moment, the wolf spider Zerg retracted its silk and landed on the ground, opening its mouth to spit out two blobs of sticky liquid!
The mucus moved extremely fast, reaching Liz in the blink of an eye.
Faced with the oncoming slime, Liz immediately moved the upper jaw of the Zerg instrument.
"Put on!"
The heavy armor on his right arm was reassembled, and in the instant of reassembly, it blocked two blobs of slime.
Immediately afterward, Liz lunged forward, slashing down with his twin blades.
The wolf spider Zerg retreated repeatedly, its webs bursting out from behind it and enveloping Liz.
"Cast Off!"
With his left hand, he manipulated the upper jaw of the Zecter while his right hand lifted up the sword.
The armor exploded again, colliding with the attacking webs and causing them to pause briefly.
This brief pause allowed Liz to quickly organize his attack, slashing the webs repeatedly with the double blades in his hands!
*Pfft pfft—!*
Blue light and shadow flowed, and each swing precisely brought down a segment of the webs tip.
In the blink of an eye, there were already five or six severed webs under Liz's feet.
Upon witnessing this scene, the wolf spider Zerg began to consider retreating.
On the other hand, Liz was gradually getting used to the battle and could even pull off some tricks.
Whoosh—!
The wolf spider Zerg swayed, turning into a blur as it retreated.
Such a fast speed clearly indicates that a state under Clock-up conversion has been used.
"Clock Up!" Liz immediately pressed the switch on the side buckle.
As his first target, the tarantula was not going to be allowed to escape easily.
And there is another crucial reason: Liz wants to use the spider as a sacrifice to the heavens!
There's a saying in Kamen Rider: "Sacrificing a spider to the heavens grants boundless power."
The next instant, Liz, who had entered the Clock-up phase, instantly caught sight of the fleeing wolf spider Zerg.
The instant he caught the target, Liz pushed off with his right foot, and his entire body shot out like a cannonball.
With speeds far exceeding from before, the distance between them was reduced to mere inches, and the twin blades in his hands were slashed down mercilessly!
Bang bang bang!!!
The double blades sliced through the chest of the wolf spider Zerg, sparks flying.
Such an attack caused the wolf spider Zerg to sway and even become unsteady on its feet.
But Liz did not stop there; instead, his movements became faster and faster!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!
The double-edged blades slashed through the air, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, and landed entirely on the wolf spider Zerg.
Amidst bursts of sparks, the wolf spider Zerg could no longer support its body and collapsed to the ground.
Seeing that it was no match for the monster chasing it, it turned over and knelt on the ground,with the phantom of a child appearing beside it.
"If you kill me, this child won't even have a last vestige of existence left," the child's phantom continued. "Please let me live on, I want to live."
These words made Liz frown: "You say we humans are vicious, but don't you also harm children?"
"One!"
Along with this, the trigger sound of full-speed charging was heard.
The wolf spider Zerg realized that Liz wouldn't stop, so it immediately stood up and swung its right claw to attack.
"Two!"
Liz dodged the attack by sidestepping, and the sound effect rang out again.
"Coo-coo!!" The tarantula Zerg suddenly became anxious and turned around to perform a side kick.
However, this action actually created a large opening, and Liz immediately stepped forward to close the gap, using his right hand to deflect the force while simultaneously striking with his elbow against the back of his body.
Bang!
The movement was executed in one fluid motion, with an elbow strike landing on the back of the tarantula, causing it to lose its balance and fall forward.
"Three!"
After the sound effect, Liz repeatedly flipped the upper jaw switch of the Zerg instrument.
"Rider Kick!"
Superluminal particles are transmitted from the Zecter passing through the chest and head steel horns and being converted into waves.
Just as the wolf spider Zerg had barely regained its footing and turned to attack again, it discovered that Liz had already leaped into the air.
Liz leaped into the air and executed a low-altitude spinning kick, channeling the energy from his head into his feet, which landed squarely on the head of the wolf spider Zerg!
A streak of blue light remained in the air as the energy surged into the wolf spider Zerg.
Bang!
The wolf spider Zerg knelt on the ground, its body crackling with golden arcs of electricity.
Liz landed, leaving only the wolf spider Zerg's back view.
Boom—!
With the explosion, white flames filled the space behind Liz.
"Clock Over!"
The moment the wolf spider was killed, the sound effect of the Clock-up ending played.
Liz stood up and let out a long breath.
To be honest, the wolf spider was easier to deal with than he had imagined.
However, he still has many shortcomings in combat and needs more battles to hone his skills.
At this moment, the 30-minute countdown on the virtual screen shows about 22 minutes and 40 seconds remaining.
The battle with the tarantula Zerg had only lasted about a minute.
"There are still more than twenty minutes left."
To be honest, Liz felt this match would take quite a while.
"Coo coo coo coo."
Before Liz could rest for a while, the sounds of strange Zerg filled the air again.
"This stupid game doesn't have a break till the end does it?" After complaining, Liz saw a dense array of figures in his field of vision.
All these figures surrounded Liz.
Needless to say, the figures were all hatched larvae of Zerg!
"Hahahaha! I finally found you, you bastard!!"
A familiar voice sounded behind him, and Liz saw Lin Xiao squeeze out of the small passage, still followed by a dark swarm of Zerg.
Of course,colorful illusions also survived and returned directly to Liz's hands.
"Trying to get rid of me? Let me tell you, no way!" Lin Xiao found Liz, and he is in an extremely good mood.
"Do you want to take a look over here?" Liz was dumbfounded.
If Lin Xiao hadn't come over, he could have spun his yo-yo directly through the small passage.
Now, Lin Xiao has brought a swarm of Zerg, isn't this just like having cheese sandwiched between two buns?!
Lin Xiao fell silent instantly after being reminded by Liz.
He clearly hadn't expected that Liz's side also had a large number of Zerg.
"Brother, I was wrong! You must have other escape routes, right?" Lin Xiao looked at the large number of Zerg on both sides and felt a chill in his heart.
"I'll remember this grudge." Liz took the double blades off his shoulder again.
Their actions told Lin Xiao that there was no escape route and they had no choice but to confront these Zerg head-on!
"Coo coo coo"
The Zerg on both sides were getting closer and closer, and had already sandwiched the two of them in the middle.
Several adult Zerg jumped to a spot not far from the two, ready to attack at any moment
[Tarantula Zerg , Adult Stage]
[Rank: E-class Monster]
[Similar to terrestrial tarantulas, they can expel highly digestive mucus and spider silk from their mouths, and extend their tentacles to pierce the bodies of their enemies.]
[Burying Bug Zerg , Adult Stage]
[Rank: E-class Monster]
[Similar to the burial bugs that inhabit Earth, its right arm has a hook-like claw that can grab and attack enemies, and its sharp teeth can crush anything. Its left side has a hard exoskeleton, providing excellent defense and mobility.]
[fleas Zerg , adult stage]
[Rank: E-class Monster]
[Possesses abilities similar to those of earth-dwelling fleas, including a powerful leap of fifty meters. Its right arm has a poisonous stinger capable of injecting venom and piercing the enemy's body.]
[Fly Zerg , adult stage.]
[Ladybug Zerg , adult stage.]
Five adult Zerg were eyeing Lin Xiao's location intently.
Liz's side was slightly better, with only three adult scarab beetles of different colors.
But the number of larvae on both sides combined is at least a hundred!
Although the larvae have very low combat strength, their sheer numbers are enough to wipe them out.
Just then, a human figure appeared in Liz's field of vision.
As he stared intently, the other party's information appeared.
[Li Yuan (Mimicry), Mantis Zerg , Adult Stage]
[Rank: E-class Monster]
[Possesses abilities similar to those of a mantis, an earth-dwelling creature; can expel poisonous foam from its mouth and sever enemies with its scythe-like blades.]
"Mimicking Li Yuan?" Upon seeing the other party's message, Liz couldn't help but frown slightly.
Li Yuan, having been mimicked by an adult Zerg, is likely in grave danger.
"Brother, what did you say? I didn't hear you clearly." Lin Xiao, who was standing next to him, heard some of the muttering.
"Nothing, I was just wondering if you could handle those adult Zerg." Beneath the mask, Liz's smile gradually turned wicked.
"Great, bro! That's what I was thinking too. Let's switch now!"
Before Liz could make a move, Lin Xiao changed positions first.
"It's alright, the capable should do more," Liz said, pretending not to care.
"Lock On!"
"Henshin"
A deep voice came from the swarm of Zerg, causing Lin Xiao's body to freeze instantly.
As someone who had fought alongside him for so long, how could he not recognize whose deep voice it was?
"Soiya! Matsubokkuri Arms! One Strike in the Shadow!"
As the sound effects echoed, the shadowy guard clad in pinecone armor emerged from the Zerg swarm.
"You fucking schemed against me!!" Lin Xiao immediately turned around and questioned Liz.
But Liz had already charged into the swarm of Zerg, and could no longer hear Lin Xiao's roar.
As Liz plunged into the swarm of Zerg, he was immediately confronted by the larvae.
With each swing of his twin blades, he cleaved the larvae in two.
The larvae were completely defenseless against the double-edged sword, like tigers among sheep. Only the constantly blooming green flames proved that the larvae had fought.
Boom boom boom—!
The larvae exploded one after another, and in just a few turns, Liz killed more than ten of them.
Once the larvae were killed, the adults immediately surrounded Liz.
Looking around at the adult Zerg surrounding him, Liz raised his right hand and pointed at the flea-like Zerg in front of him: "Come here!"
The flea Zerg: "???"
The adult Zerg exchanged glances; they had never seen such arrogant humans before.
They're surrounded like this, yet they're still so arrogant!
Before the flea Zerg could make a move, the burial Zerg on Liz's side rushed out first.
The Burial Bug lowered its body, its right arm with a shield-like claw in front, and charged forward like a bull.
Faced with the charge of the Burial Zerg, Liz jumped up to dodge the attack, while simultaneously slashing down with his twin blades!
Bang! Bang!
Sparks flew, and the Burial Zerg nearly fell to the ground.
Seeing its companion suffer a loss, the flea Zerg reacted first, leaping up and thrusting its poisonous stinger straight at the target.
"I've been waiting for you!" Liz flipped and merged the two blades together, instantly forming a weapon shaped like the mandibles of a stag beetle.
"Rider Cutting!"
The two blades merged, accompanied by a sound effect, and blue-gold arcs of electricity danced between them.
The flea-like Zerg, leaping down, was unable to make any other movements and crashed straight into the scissor-like double blades.
*Crack!*
The double-edged clamp gripped the flea Zerg's abdomen and was lifted high by Liz.
"Goodbye." As Liz finished speaking, the two blades suddenly closed together.
Boom!!!
The moment the two blades closed, the flea-like Zerg exploded and died on the spot.
This caused the remaining adult Zerg to instinctively take a step back.
"I'm going to take on ten of them!!" In contrast, Liz's side was incredibly high-spirited.
"Coo coo coo"
The adult Zerg no longer recklessly rushed into battle like the flea Zerg.
Instead, they emitted low chirping sounds, as if they were communicating with each other.
Seeing this, Liz disassembled the double blades in his hands and threw out the single blade in his left hand at the same time.
The single blade flew straight toward the burying bug on the side. The burying bug reacted quickly, raising its right arm shield to defend itself.
Clang!
Like the clanging of metal, the single blade sliced through the shield, leaving a deep gash.
"Gurgle!!!" The burial Zerg cried out in pain.
But this chirping sound is a signal to other adult Zerg.
Then, all the adult Zerg turned their heads forward and spat out sticky fluid at Liz.
Mucus, foam, bodily fluids—all sorts of strange liquids were falling towards Liz!
"Ugh!! You guys are disgusting!" Liz didn't hesitate at all and directly slapped the side buckle of his belt.
"Clock Up!"
Using the speed of clock-up, dodging various strange liquids is quite easy.
The main reason was that he really didn't want to take this hit. His mind automatically conjured up images of multiple people spitting on him, which was absolutely disgusting!
But the next moment, the surrounding adult Zerg simultaneously entered a state of ascension, surrounding Liz once again.
During a brief moment of free time, Liz glanced in Lin Xiao's direction out of the corner of his eye.
Lin Xiao's situation was not good. His armor had several deep cuts, and there were even wisps of white mist floating around the cuts, indicating that the force of the cuts was quite great.
If things continue like this, Lin Xiao won't be able to hold on for long.
He glanced at the countdown on the virtual screen; there were still eleven minutes left until I passed the level!
Suddenly, the fly-like Zerg flew into the air, while the remaining three adult Zerg simultaneously lunged at Liz.
The flies Zerg in mid-air were not idle either, repeatedly stretching it's head and spitting out several clumps of foam.
"Guard Vent!" Liz turned around to dodge the ladybug's grasp, then grabbed its neck with his other hand and held it in front of him.(T/N:dammm)
Sizzle sizzle sizzle!
The foam landed on the ladybug Zerg and other Zerg, making a sizzling sound characteristic of corrosion.
The ladybug Zerg's face and thorax were immediately corroded into fragmented holes.
"Tsk tsk tsk, they can even harm their own kind." Liz clicked his tongue and pushed away the ladybug Zerg.
It still comes down to uncle Snake's "guard vent" technique, it's so useful!!
