The apocalypse is coming, but thankfully I have a harem of paper dolls.

The crossroads shrouded in mist have been transformed into a bloodbath.

The Storm Bear—this colossal white-maned beast, standing a full ten meters tall, was like a moving mountain, each swing of its claws accompanied by a mournful howl. The crude leather armor and metal protective gear were like paper under its immense force; the dark green orc warriors, though fearless, were swept away and crushed like leaves caught in a hurricane, howling in agony.

For the orcs, it seemed that only the orc swordsman—that tall figure with a tangled gray beard—was the only glimmer of light on this despairing battlefield.

The ancient greatsword in his hand was not a barbaric slashing tool, but a deadly venomous snake. Every thrust and slash landed precisely on the Storm Bear's relatively vulnerable joints, eyelids, or near its mouth and nose, leaving wounds. Hot bear blood splattered, staining the ground a glaring dark red.

"Roar--!!!"

The Storm Bear was completely enraged. Its crimson eyes were fixed on the tiny creature that had caused it the greatest pain. Its huge paws, accompanied by a shrill shriek that tore through the air, smashed down on Baroque like a thunderbolt!

Baroque frantically dodged and parried through the gaps in the giant claws. His footwork was unpredictable, like dancing on a knife's edge.

In the shadows, Luo Jiajun's eyes were sharp as a hawk's, quickly scanning the entire battlefield.

Currently, the orcs have suffered more than half their casualties, and their morale is on the verge of collapse. Although the Storm Bear is badly wounded, none of its wounds are fatal, and its ferocity is even greater.

In the center of the battlefield, Baroque seemed to realize that he would surely die if things continued this way, and suddenly let out a low and ancient war roar!

"Buzz!"

A strange energy fluctuation spread instantly. The orc swordsman's figure flickered, and a "mirror image" that was almost identical to his original body, only slightly illusory, appeared out of thin air beside him!

Without the slightest hesitation, the mirror image charged head-on towards the Storm Bear, its illusory greatsword emitting a blinding light that drew all of the Storm Bear's rage and attention.

"Roar!" The Storm Bear slammed down with its giant claws!

In that split second, Baroque's true form took advantage of the momentary opening created by the mirror image, and like a ghost, crouched low and rushed forward, sacrificing the mirror image and using the dense fog as cover, to circle around to the back of the Storm Bear's massive body!

The old orc's leg muscles bulged, unleashing astonishing power. He leaped up, raising the ancient greatsword above his head with both hands. A sharp, all-consuming will gathered on the blade as he fiercely stabbed towards the Storm Bear's relatively weak back, near the nape of its neck!

"Pfft——!"

This time, the blade pierced deep into the blade without any resistance! All the way to the hilt!

“Ah ...

The storm bear let out an unprecedented, heart-wrenching howl! The excruciating pain drove it completely mad! Its massive body suddenly stood upright and recklessly slammed into a nearby six-story residential building that was already on the verge of collapse!

"Boom——!!!"

Bricks and stones flew everywhere, and dust billowed into the sky! The entire building collapsed with a deafening roar, like building blocks being smashed by a giant sledgehammer!

Baroque, who had just delivered the fatal blow and hadn't even had a chance to draw his greatsword, was completely caught in the sudden, devastating impact and the ensuing building collapse! He only had time to let out a muffled groan before his figure was completely swallowed up by countless falling concrete slabs and bricks!

It all happened in a flash of lightning.

"Attack!" Almost at the same moment Baroque pierced Storm Bear, Luo Jiajun's fierce shout rang out!

He reached his hand to his chest, where the sword-shaped mark in the center of his collarbone emitted a golden light.

Activate ability—[Holy Sword Protection]! You Lin Yong, Lin Yong, you Kong, you Lin Zaizai, are you there yet...?

As Luo Jiajun suddenly reached for the mark on his chest, his five fingers clenched tightly, a long sword that shone with a holy silver light seemed to be forcibly pulled from his own flesh and bones.

The True Silver Holy Sword!

The sword gleamed with a liquid silver-like luster, and its sacred, majestic, and incomparably sharp aura instantly dispelled the surrounding blood and chaos, bringing a heart-palpitating purifying power.

"2B, Rosemon, follow me!" Luo Jiajun gripped the Holy Sword, his face solemn. Without turning his head, he said to Annerose in an unquestionable tone, "Annerose, you and Yeebu stay here. Be vigilant and ready to provide backup at any time!"

“I…” Annerose opened her mouth, looking at Luo Jiajun’s back as he held the holy sword and charged forward, and then at the Vajra Yaksha sword full of nicks in her arms, a strong sense of grievance and helplessness instantly surged into her heart.

She knew that her master was worried that her current strength was insufficient and that she would become a burden. This feeling of being excluded from the core battle made her bite her lower lip tightly, and a trace of unwilling tears welled up in her amber eyes.

But she didn't argue. She just hugged the broken knife tightly and whispered, "...Alright, I understand."

Ye Yibu stood vigilantly beside her, his body shimmering with emerald light, ready to provide support at any moment.

The next second, Luo Jiajun, 2B, and Rose Beast shot out like three arrows released from a bow, taking advantage of the perfect moment when Storm Bear crashed into the building, the smoke and dust filled the air, and he had not yet fully recovered, and rushed straight towards the huge white target!

However, just as they had rushed less than halfway, the Storm Bear's power, which had become completely out of control due to the intense pain and rage, finally erupted!

“Roar, ahh ...

It suddenly roared to the sky, a roar that shattered the clouds! The roar contained not only pain, but also a destructive storm of energy!

The white-maned behemoth stood upright once more, then suddenly bent down, its massive forepaws slamming down with all its fury and power onto the rubble-strewn ground!

"boom--!!!"

In an instant, centered on the point where Storm Bear's paws landed, a terrifying ring of air, visible to the naked eye and a mixture of violent wind pressure and pure shockwave, suddenly exploded out like a nuclear explosion!

Wherever the shockwave passed, the ground was as if it had been violently turned up by an invisible giant plow!

Countless rubble, debris, car wrecks, and even the buried corpses of orc warriors were instantly torn apart by this overwhelming force!

Smoke and even fog were instantly pushed aside, forming a huge, ever-expanding circle of destruction!

This indiscriminate area attack not only thoroughly plowed through the ruins that buried Baroque, severing any possible life within, but also slammed into Luo Jiajun and his two companions who were launching their charge like a raging tsunami!

"Watch out!" Rose Beast exclaimed.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A dull thud followed as gas collided with flesh!

The three were struck as if by an invisible battering ram, their forward momentum abruptly halted! Luo Jiajun groaned, his body shuddering violently, a tearing pain shooting through his sword-wielding arm. 2B also stumbled backward, losing her balance. The low-flying Rose Beast was violently thrown to the ground.

The three of them never expected that their carefully planned surprise attack would be thwarted halfway by the Storm Bear's enraged wide-range attack!

As this unexpected turn of events occurred, the Storm Bear, which had been panting heavily after its earth-shaking attack, seemed to sense something and suddenly turned its head, its pair of crimson giant eyes fixed on the three newly appeared "little bugs" that exuded a threatening aura.

The shockwaves created by the storm bear's slamming paws dispersed the dense fog within a radius of tens of meters.

Luo Jiajun, along with 2B and Rosemon, were unexpectedly ambushed by Storm Bear as soon as they broke out, thus exposing themselves to Storm Bear's view.

"Roar-!"

The storm bear, with its blood-red eyes, stood upright once more, opened its massive maw, and roared deafeningly at the direction where Luo Jiajun and his companions were.

The roar, which seemed to shake heaven and earth, transformed into tangible sound waves, surging forth like a raging torrent.

"Hide!"

Luo Jiajun exclaimed in surprise and burst into full speed, lunging to the side. Almost at the same time, 2B also lunged to the other side, just like Luo Jiajun. Rosemon quickly flew into the sky. The three of them barely managed to dodge the rapidly approaching sonic wave.

"Bam—!"

The sound wave then struck an abandoned car on the road, instantly shattering the vehicle and cracking the ground beneath it.

Luo Jiajun was shocked. Without a doubt, this Storm Bear was the strongest boss he had encountered in both versions.

This white-maned behemoth is far more than just large in size—it's easy to guess from its name that this beast seems to be able to control storms!

Seeing that the three "insects" in his field of vision had not been hit by the roar, the Storm Bear immediately put down on all fours and was about to charge.

"Boom!"

At the critical moment, a beam of energy emitting blue light shot down from the sky behind the Storm Bear and accurately struck the wound on its back previously inflicted by the Orc Blademaster, causing an explosion on the Storm Bear's back.

Severely injured, the Storm Bear staggered and let out a mournful roar.

Looking into the distant sky, Luo Jiajun, with eyesight far exceeding that of ordinary people, immediately recognized the face of the person who had injured Storm Bear.

It was a purple figure, wearing a pointed hat, with full lips painted with purple lip gloss, her makeup exuding a sinister charm, none other than—"The Witch" Dreyer!

The surprises didn't end there. Just as Luo Jiajun spotted Dreyer, a female knight in full armor and helmet appeared, brandishing her sword, very close to the Storm Bear. She raised her left hand, a golden halo forming in her palm, and hurled it at the Storm Bear's hind leg.

The halo spun rapidly and flew out like a circular saw, slicing through the Storm Bear's thick hind legs. The Storm Bear, already staggering, let out another scream, its massive body completely losing its balance and collapsing to the ground.

"Leida!" Luo Jiajun's eyes lit up. He and 2B Rosemon didn't stand still either. Taking advantage of the gap created by Dreyer and Leida's surprise attack, they rushed towards the Storm Bear, which had lost its balance and fallen to the ground.

With her delicate face concealed by a helmet, Leda wanted to further expand her gains. She raised her right hand, holding a sword, at a 45-degree angle forward, and a golden light shone from the tip of the sword. Golden needles were about to condense around the blade.

But before this "piercing needle" technique could be fully formed, the Storm Bear, which had fallen to the ground, swung its massive forelimbs, as thick as a bus, along the ground! You, Lin Yongyong, have your free time? Lin Zaizai, are you even here...?

"call--!"

In an instant, the storm, flying sand, ripped rocks, lampposts, and abandoned vehicles on the road all swept towards Leda's location, burying her in the blink of an eye.

Draiel was floating high in the sky, gathering magic power to condense a high-intensity magic energy blast, because ordinary instant-cast magic energy blasts would have no chance of effectively harming the thick-skinned Storm Bear. Watching helplessly as Rita was buried by the flying sand and stones from the sky, Draiel's gaze darkened.

What a terrifying monster... Moreover, she could sense that every movement of the Storm Bear was not just brute force, but also carried with violent wind elemental energy!

With Rita temporarily withdrawing from the battle, the Storm Bear slowly began to get up from the ground. Due to its enormous size, this beast was exceptionally thick-skinned, and the wounds on its legs and back were not fatal, nor even enough to seriously affect its mobility.

But Luo Jiajun, 2B, and Rosemon finally reached Storm Bear.

The Rose Beast, flying in the air, released vines that wrapped around Storm Bear's injured hind leg, pulling it tightly in an attempt to prevent Storm Bear from getting up.

"Hit its eyes!"

Luo Jiajun shouted a warning to 2B, and the two of them, each wielding a weapon, charged towards Storm Bear, facing its enormous head and ferocious face as it lay prone on the ground.

"Roar-!"

At the critical moment, the Storm Bear once again opened its blood-red maw and roared.

Luo Jiajun and 2B, charging at full speed, were already no more than five meters in front of the Storm Bear, and had even jumped off the ground to attack its eyes. At this moment, they had no way to change their posture to avoid the shockwave generated by the Storm Bear's roar.

But just before it was hit, Luo Jiajun stretched out his free left arm, and with a crackling sound, released a thick bolt of electricity that instantly struck the Storm Bear's left eye!

This is the advantage of lightning-based skills; the projectiles are instantaneous, allowing people to seize fleeting opportunities in the blink of an eye!

But almost the instant the lightning chain released from Luo Jiajun's palm struck the Storm Bear's left eye, Luo Jiajun and 2B were also hit by the howling sonic waves.

The two were blown away by the unstoppable force, flying at least twenty meters away before crashing heavily onto the road some distance away.

"Master!"

"Buyi!"

Annerose and Yeebu, who hadn't joined the battle, immediately rushed towards the location where Luo Jiajun had crashed down. Yeebu burst forth with astonishing speed; this little guy possessed healing abilities and only wanted to quickly reach Luo Jiajun's side to heal him, who was likely seriously injured.

After roaring and repelling Luo Jiajun and 2B, Storm Bear, panting heavily and enduring the pain in its left eye, braced itself on the ground with one hand, turned its massive body to the side, and stretched out its other arm to grab the vines that Rose Beast had released and were tightly binding its hind legs.

Fearing that the Storm Bear would break free of its restraints and finish off Luo Jiajun, who had already crashed to the distance, the Rose Beast had no choice but to grit its teeth and hold on tightly to the vines.

At that moment, Draiel had already prepared a second high-intensity magic energy bullet in the sky and aimed it at the wound on the Storm Bear's back. The Storm Bear sensed this and turned its head towards the trajectory of the falling magic energy bullet, letting out another roar.

"Roar-!"

A deafening roar erupted, transforming into a shockwave that surged into the air and collided with the magical energy projectile released by Draiel. The instant the storm's power and arcane energy collided, a ring-shaped energy wave spread out in the air with a loud "bang," the two forces canceling each other out.

But then, the Storm Bear forcibly tore off the vines wrapped around its hind legs, and with unparalleled strength, flung the Rose Beast, which refused to let go, into the air.

If Dreyer hadn't reacted quickly and flown away in time, he would have almost been hit by the Rosemon.

While Dreyer was unharmed, the stubborn Rosemon, unwilling to let go, suffered a severe blow and was ultimately slammed into a nearby building by the immense force of the impact.

Dreyer, floating in the sky, thought that Storm Bear would press his advantage and was racking his brains trying to figure out how to stop it. But then he saw Storm Bear finally get up again, but on all fours, it endured the pain and rushed towards a huge purple rift hanging in the air not far away.

"Buzz!"

The moment the Storm Bear's massive body touched the purple crack, it transformed into a beam of purple light, merged into the crack, and vanished in an instant.

"They actually... ran away?" Dreyer was stunned.

the other side.

Luo Jiajun and 2B, who were blown away and crashed to the ground, looked quite disheveled and covered in dust, but they quickly got back up and did not appear to be seriously injured.

After all, 2B has a metal skeleton, and its defensive capabilities are at least on par with the Skynet Terminator T800.

Luo Jiajun also possesses a physical bonus from the [Incomplete Tree of Life Origin], as well as the special ability [Human Sandbag] that can be obtained through Fighter Badges.

[Human Sandbag]: Increases stamina, health and defense by 100% (only in normal form, this bonus cannot be obtained in transformed form).

It's important to understand that the double boost provided by the [human punching bag] is based on the fact that Luo Jiajun's physique has already been strengthened by the [incomplete Tree of Life Origin]!

Of course, it would be a lie to say he wasn't injured at all. Luo Jiajun had originally planned to skip the step of taking out the [Red Dew Holy Grail Bottle] from his game inventory to drink some health and simply transform into Terminator and fight the Storm Bear to the bitter end.

Unexpectedly, what I saw when I got up was the Storm Bear hurriedly running away!

"That beast actually ran away!"

"And... so those portals are only accessible to monsters?"
