Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1572 - 1405: The Truth (Two-in-One)_2

"Since ice-based skills can’t be used, this is the only way to go!"

Su Ran couldn’t stand those pretentious types. After a moment of thought, he directly activated his Petrification ability.

"Swoosh!"

A dull gray light flashed through the area and vanished; the ancient woman’s face instantly stiffened, her entire body turning into a statue.

"Fire God, quick, come..."

Before the word ’hand’ could be said, Su Ran consciously shut his mouth because he realized that the Fire God too was affected and turned into a statue, immobile. How could he possibly lend a hand?

This is awkward...

Fine then, I’m all out of tricks, not going to join this chaos anymore. It’s best not to attract the old woman’s hatred and create unnecessary trouble for myself.

Soon, both the Fire God and the ancient woman returned to normal. Both of them stood there, dumbfounded, having no idea what had just happened.

"Human warrior, what just happened? Why did I lose consciousness the moment that light flashed?"

Fire God looked at Su Ran questioningly, hoping to get an answer from him.

"My lord, you might have just had a hallucination. I’m out of moves; it’s your turn to take action."

After making an offhand remark, Su Ran backed away. The farther he was from Granny Hua, the higher his safety coefficient would be.

"You... really have many secrets on you."

Seeing that Su Ran had no intention to explain, the Fire God did not press any further and walked towards the ancient woman.

"Fire God! Are you not afraid that I will destroy this seal?"

The ancient woman’s expression turned tense and she struggled harder, but to no avail. She was bound by the God-sealing Lock chains and couldn’t break free; in the end, she could only use the seal to threaten the Fire God, hoping it would give her a sliver of chance for survival.

"Thanks for reminding me. I had almost forgotten that the God-sealing Lock chains have a special ability. It’s been so long that I nearly forgot."

Fire God sneered, not frightened by the ancient woman’s threatening words, and kept approaching her. Soon, he stood face to face with her, "Go ahead and try to destroy the seal if you want."

"Fine, very fine!"

These words came squeezing through the ancient woman’s teeth. She had never anticipated that the Fire God would change his mind so suddenly, catching her completely off guard. Hence, without further hesitation, she hardened her heart, clenched the seal in her hand, and bellowed, "Break now!"

"God-sealing Lock chains, paralyze her for me!"

In the blink of an eye, the Fire God grasped the chains with one hand, and a crackling electric sound emanated from within, flooding into the ancient woman’s body. As expected, the ancient woman was successfully paralyzed on the spot.

Su Ran had a deep understanding of this electric shock effect, although what he had experienced in the past was just a palm-sized shock. Now, however, the full current from the entire chain was directed at the ancient woman—it would be odd if she wasn’t paralyzed!

At this moment, Su Ran felt a little sympathy for the ancient woman. At her age, why couldn’t she just stay at home peacefully? Blinded by greed, and now it’s too late for any regrets...

The scene that followed was rather gory. Under the Fire God’s relentless pounding, the ancient woman was severely injured, her head drooping, motionless. Judging by her mental state, even if not dead, she was only hanging on by a thread.

Just as the Fire God reached out to take the seal, an unexpected turn occurred.

"Swoosh!"

A dense black smoke surged from the ancient woman’s face, transformed into a heavy hammer, and ferociously struck the Fire God’s chest, blasting him out of this fiery domain.

"Shadow Heart Demon!"

As a bystander, Su Ran had the clearest view. He had encountered this black fog in the Fire God’s city, it was undoubtedly the Shadow Heart Demon!

However, he could never have imagined when had the Shadow Heart Demon taken control of the old woman?

Suddenly, he remembered the image of the old woman covering her head and rolling on the ground in agony. It was then that the Heart Demon had already started to target the old woman!

No wonder the old woman possessed the square seal of the Shadow Heart Demon; no wonder she was not anxious when the seal of the Fire God City disappeared; no wonder her personality changed drastically, preferring to massacre the city to keep control of Fire God City in her hands; no wonder she had the courage to confront the Fire God. Su Ran finally understood, it was all the doing of the Shadow Heart Demon!

The truth was out, everything was clear.

In response, Su Ran couldn’t help but inwardly sigh, "What a cunning Shadow Heart Demon, what a cruel trick!"

First, it was Uncle Yu, and now Granny Hua. Su Ran couldn’t help but worry if this trick would work on players too. If he was controlled by this Heart Demon, he would have no autonomy at all, better dead than live without freedom!

"Hehehe, the Fire God is nothing special after all!"

The Shadow Heart Demon succeeded in its sneak attack, revealing a disdainful smile. Right after, it locked its hatred on Su Ran, sneering, "Human, it’s all because of you, my plan was ruined. A good game of chess, thrown into chaos by you, you deserve to die the most!"

"Senior, what you’re saying isn’t right. As the saying goes, ignorance is not a sin. You never told me about your plan beforehand, how could I have known? Besides, when they sent me to save Lord Fire God, I didn’t see you make a move to stop me. Are you blaming me?"

Su Ran argued his case, while simultaneously summoning Wang Cai, but his heart was filled with extreme urgency. What on earth was the Fire God doing? Getting hammered away but not fatally wounded, why wasn’t he coming back already!

"Humans, always good at making excuses! It’s because of you that my efforts have gone to waste, that’s a fact, and no amount of sophistry from you will change it! Today, I must kill you!"

The black mist constantly transformed in the air, seemingly brewing some big move. The terrain here was enveloped by the domain, with no concern that Su Ran could escape. The Heart Demon did not forget to stimulate Su Ran with words, intending to make even his spirit collapse, "Don’t pin your hopes on the Fire God. He has been marked by my Cloud God Seal, it’s not so easy to remove. He is still in self-preservation mode, how could he come to save you?"

"Cloud God Seal? So powerful that it can trap the Fire God for such a long time!"

Although Su Ran was shocked inside, he didn’t show it. Riding on Wang Cai, he asked with a flattering tone, "Senior, why don’t you teach me this skill? What if one day you kick the bucket, wouldn’t this skill be buried with you? What a pity that would be!"

"Kick the bucket? What does that mean? Farting the day after?"

The Shadow Heart Demon, being game data, couldn’t understand these real-world terms, but that wasn’t the point. It did understand the concept of learning skills though, and with hatred in its voice said, "Despicable human, you’ve made me suffer so much, and you still want to learn my skills, how come you have such a big heart?"

"Die then, Dark Sky Fall!"

At this moment, the Shadow Heart Demon couldn’t wait for Su Ran to die sooner, no longer wasting words and directly unleashing its big move. The black mist turned into a huge net and loomed over Su Ran.

"What’s the point of all this fighting and killing, isn’t chatting more pleasant?"

Su Ran was not about to foolishly withstand the attack. A move that the Shadow Heart Demon had been brewing for so long would definitely be powerful. He hurriedly rode Wang Cai to dodge to the side, attempting to escape the range of the attack.

Unfortunately,

Wang Cai seemed as if it had lost its soul, completely immobile, chilling Su Ran’s heart in an instant.

Without a doubt, this was the doing of the Shadow Heart Demon, this creature was really too cunning, stealthily taking control of Wang Cai. No wonder it had idly chatted a bit more with him just now, laying the groundwork for the next move!

The move Dark Sky Fall emanated dangerous signals, absolutely not to be taken lightly!

At this critical moment for his life, Su Ran’s brain kicked into high gear. Avoid using invincible abilities if possible, for that was the last ace up his sleeve, and it wasn’t time to use it yet!

When Su Ran looked at the ring on his hand, a light shone before his eyes, and his heart immediately gained some assurance. He yelled towards the Shadow Heart Demon in mid-air: "If you want to kill me, then do it quickly. Why dawdle?"

"A cooked duck with a hard mouth!"

The Shadow Heart Demon no longer showed any courtesy, speeding up its attack and heading straight for Su Ran’s head.

"Here’s my chance!"

As soon as Su Ran felt the fog nearing him, he no longer held back. He immediately activated the special ability of his ancient relic, the Undead Bone Ring - Bone Force Aura!

With a loud bang, a white bone aura appeared instantly, tearing apart the giant net of black mist, reflecting it in all directions. In the distance, Su Ran heard the agonized howl of the Shadow Heart Demon.
