Chapter 242 David Took Action
At the moment when Shirley launched her attack, Duane himself had also charged forward with his broadsword, attempting to flank Carnage Wraith. However, they hadn\'t anticipated the overwhelming power of their opponent. Not only did Carnage Wraith send Shirley flying into the air, but the force of its bone blade\'s shockwave also knocked Duane aside. Thankfully, Duane\'s golden thread armor provided protection, preventing serious injury.
Duane Struggling to stand up, he hadn\'t even had a chance to check on Shirley\'s condition before he saw Fatso\'s charging figure.David could only shake his head and smile wryly:"This Fatso... He\'s really head over heels for her!"
Carnage Wraith wiped its bone blade after injuring Shirley and Duane. The patterns on the blade faintly glowed, emitting a chilling cold light. Just then, it heard Fatso\'s furious roar and turned to see him.
It witnessed Fatso\'s fist, the size of a sandbag, hurtling toward its face. A tremendous boom echoed as Fatso\'s punch slammed Carnage Wraith into the cement wall of the garage!
"I can\'t believe it! Fatso packs quite a punch. Love truly is a man\'s stimulant. He\'s like a man possessed!" Charles and Arnold commented in astonishment after repelling Louisa and Lucinda.
Carnage Wraith was somewhat bewildered by the blow from Fatso. Some of the bone spikes encircling its arm had been snapped by the impact. It slowly stood up, dusted itself off, and looked meaningfully at Fatso.
"What are you staring at? I\'m here to take you down today!" Still consumed by anger, Fatso hadn\'t recovered his senses from the rage. Without giving Carnage Wraith a chance to catch its breath, he lunged at it with another punch.
However, Carnage Wraith was a formidable ninth-level entity, and it couldn\'t be bothered with Fatso, a Dawn Scavenger who relied solely on physical strength. As Fatso charged, Carnage Wraith raised its bone blade, and the patterns on the blade began to glow intensely.
"Useless! Let me show you the taste of agony!" Carnage Wraith sneered, and its bone blade emitted a destructive force akin to a descending tempest, slashing down towards Fatso.
Seeing this, Fatso quickly retracted his punch, rolled aside, and attempted to evade the blade\'s attack from another angle. However, Carnage Wraith had anticipated his move. It adjusted the angle of its bone blade to perform a horizontal sweep, once again slashing at Fatso.
"Not good!" Duane\'s brow furrowed, and he swiftly retrieved a bow and arrow from his treasure chest. He deftly strung the bow and shot an arrow.
"Swoosh!" The arrow whizzed through the air, carrying an explosive charge. It sped towards Carnage Wraith. The creature lifted its arm to block, triggering a detonation upon impact.
As a result, Fatso managed to evade a potentially fatal attack, while the arrow exploded harmlessly on Carnage Wraith\'s arm, causing no damage.
At this moment, Fatso finally realized that the creature before him was a formidable zombie, and their combined strength with Duane was utterly ineffective against it.
At this moment, Fatso realized that the entity before him was a formidable zombie, and that relying solely on himself and Duane would be utterly ineffective against it.
Meanwhile, David had also come to the same realization. Shaking his head, he felt that the time was ripe. Initially, he thought that by taking advantage of this opportunity, Fatso and the others could gain valuable combat experience. However, the unexpected power of Carnage Wraith proved insurmountable for them. Even Fatso\'s successful punch had been achieved when Carnage Wraith was completely off-guard.
Moreover, this punch had thoroughly infuriated Carnage Wraith. Continuing this battle would likely result in injuries to those around him. More importantly, it would waste time and give the hidden mastermind outside ample opportunity to orchestrate further schemes. Therefore, David decided to take matters into his own hands and end the battle swiftly.
"Everyone, step back," David instructed, casting a glance at Louisa and Lucinda. They had been dealt with by Arnold and Duke, and it seemed the outcome had already been decided. Only Carnage Wraith remained, and once it was dealt with, they could confront the mastermind directly.
Hearing David\'s words, Fatso reluctantly took a couple of steps back. He glanced at Shirley, who had just regained consciousness, still radiating anger. Duane set aside his bow and arrow, nodding at David. He knew that only David possessed the ability to eliminate this foe in an instant.
With measured steps, David advanced, lifting his head to gaze at Carnage Wraith. "You are indeed powerful, but in my eyes, you\'re not even worth as much as a dog." He spoke with a faint smile, slowly raising his hand and pointing at his opponent.
Upon witnessing David\'s provocation, the enraged Carnage Wraith prepared to teach him a lesson once more. However, as it took its first step, an intense and excruciating pain suddenly shot through its arm, accompanied by the sound of sizzling and corroding.
Halting in confusion, it looked at its arm, only to find that the flesh and blood had inexplicably turned into a pool of bloody water, corroded by an unknown force. Even the bone spikes that had emerged were rapidly dissolving before their eyes.
The Carnage Wraith\'s shock was evident as it gazed at David in disbelief. It wasn\'t the only one astounded; everyone was taken aback by David\'s extraordinary ability. Corroding an opponent\'s flesh from a distance, disregarding any obstacles.Fatso nodded in acknowledgment, truly impressed by David\'s power.
"Frustrating! I must kill you!" Although Carnage Wraith had turned into a zombie, Eamonn\'s human consciousness still resided within it. Thus, David\'s corrosive ability inflicted an unbearable agony upon it. David lowered his hand and clenched his fist.
"Kill me? Let\'s see if you\'re up to the challenge." David sneered, wasting no time. He forcefully pushed off the ground, leaping into the air, and brought his fist down upon Carnage Wraith\'s head in a technique known as the "Voidbreaker Fist."
Enhanced by the power of spatial manipulation, David\'s tenth-level Voidbreaker Fist, combined with a spatial critical hit, caused the air within the garage to freeze at that instant.
Everyone felt their breath catch as they watched in disbelief as David\'s fist struck. Even Carnage Wraith looked up at him. It attempted to lift its arm to defend itself, but David\'s punch had already solidified the air around it, rendering it unable to move.
"Boom!" A deafening explosion resounded within the garage as flying debris and dust prompted everyone to shield themselves. Even the alarms of the vehicles in the garage blared simultaneously.
