Double Charge

The Beetle commander took the lead, sweeping the spear in his hand. Moonlight ducked, and the spear almost grazed her scalp, her hair flying in the surging storm.

The shot missed, but the fierce shot caused the air pressure to suddenly change. Even You Chu, who was watching from afar, felt suffocated and almost could not stand firm.

A single swing was enough to show that this Beetle commander was indeed not on the same level as the small fry from before. It was not an opponent that could be easily dealt with.

Moonlight dodged a shot and immediately swung her sword to counterattack. However, the Beetle commander was huge, and its movements were not slow at all. It immediately counterattacked nimbly.

Dang!

The silver sword light and the black iron spear collided in the air. The aftershock of the power spread out. Rotting leaves were blown into the air, branches broke, and the bushes let out messy cries.

The Beetle commander actually endured it.

Even the dark spell spirit summoned by the leader You Chu had encountered in the beginning, the Vengeful Beast, Ossum, was instantly killed by a single strike. This Beetle commander had actually withstood it.

Not only that, it immediately counterattacked. The spear that had been swung away suddenly bounced up like a sinister python, trying to grab the empty window where the two sides fought and bite at Moonlight.

Moonlight bounced off the counterforce of their clashing swords and spears. In midair, there was theoretically no way to avoid it.

The Beetle commander seized this opportunity to advance quickly, staring fiercely at Moonlight in the air with nowhere to run, and sneered in his heart—

—Got her!

However, what it did not expect was that just as its sure-kill shot was about to hit, it suddenly lost its balance and fell into the pit.

Trap, [Fallen].

Beetle commander: !!?

Why was there a pit on the ground?

In a split second, it also reacted—

—This group of people had actually long buried a pit here to lure it in!

Despicable!

And it was.

You Chu did not like to fight a battle that he was not confident in. He did not rashly send Moonlight out to attack directly. He had been observing for a long time and had long observed that there were ten Beetle Killers guarding this intersection and a Boss-level Beetle Commander.

Because the Beetle commander looked ferocious and his strength was unknown, he was not sure if Moonlight was 100% confident that she could win. Therefore, he had set up a trap plate in advance before the battle began, specially prepared to handle the Beetle commander.

The retreat of Moonlight just now had also deliberately led it to the route of triggering the trap.

But the Beetle commander remained calm.

It was just a pit. It could easily…

…Why the hell is there glue in this pit!?

If the Beetle commander had been able to speak, he might have started swearing.

Normally, a trap of this level would naturally not pose a threat to it. Even if the pit was sticky and unexpected, it would at most delay it for a moment and it would quickly break free.

But today was the moment of delay. By the time it emerged from the pit in a sorry state, Moonlight's sword had arrived.

It was too late to avoid it. He might as well attack and defend!

The Beetle commander was also highly experienced in combat. Without thinking, he had already thrust his spear in the direction of Moonlight.

However, Moonlight's figure was agile, and she somersaulted nimbly in the air. Her white combat boots actually stepped on the other party's spear with such precision, and she somersaulted gracefully in the air. The silver sword light followed the direction of her turn and slashed at the Beetle commander!

This caught the Beetle commander off guard. It couldn't return fire in time and could only dodge quickly. But the sword came too quickly, and although its reaction was sharp, it only had time to avoid vital parts.

The sword light slashed down and the Beetle commander was sent flying. The spreading sword qi swept up a storm and cut the ground into thousands of holes.

The Beetle commander landed in a sorry state, a deep sword mark on the smelly and hard shell of his chest. Dark liquid poured out of the crack like blood.

It looked at the inconspicuous human swordsman in front of it, its eyes filled with ferocity and a hint of fear.

It had been careless. It had not expected this weak-looking enemy to be so ruthless.

It was one thing to be ruthless, but he did not expect it to be so underhanded!

Who would dare to use superglue to dig a hole!?

'But it doesn't matter!'

As a noble Beetle commander, it also had a trump card!

The Beetle commander rose and thrust his spear into the ground.

The next moment, a strange scene happened.

The corpse of a Beetle Killer lying on the ground closest to it was affected by the energy released by the spear. It immediately turned into a black fog and surged into the body of the Beetle commander through the spear stabbed into the ground!

Not only the one that was stabbed, but the other bodies lying on the ground nearby also began to turn into black fog in succession and were absorbed by the Beetle commander!

You Chu had already automatically imagined a similar effect as the Beetle Commander—

—For every spell spirit of the same race as a sacrifice, its attack power will obtain a short increase of a certain degree.

But of course Moonlight couldn't sit back and watch it absorb and gain strength there.

By the time the three clouds of black mist poured into the Beetle commander, Moonlight's sword had already arrived.

The Beetle commander's spear, buried in the ground, was suddenly drawn and swept towards him.

Dang!

The sword and the spear clashed again, but this time Moonlight could clearly feel the increase in strength from the sword.

Moonlight's arm was slightly numb, and her body retreated in the direction of the spear's momentum to reduce its force. But the Beetle commander did not relent. He bit down hard on her retreating figure and chased after her, raising his thick spear above his head and striking down with force.

However, Moonlight was agile. With a single step, she retreated into the air, as light as a feather.

The empty spear suddenly landed on the ground. The impact was overwhelming, and the nearby trees were broken in half.

Moonlight flipped over and landed on the ground, the Beetle commander chased after relentlessly and had already caught up to her. The tip of his spear stabbed forward with unparalleled dominance.

Moonlight extended her left palm, and the energy transformed into a golden transparent flowing light barrier, like a wall in front of her.

Skill—Moon God Barrier!

The Beetle commander's strength increased exponentially. His spear was wrapped in layers of black fog as he attacked the flowing light barrier released by Moonlight!

A tearing explosion sounded, and the ear-piercing sound hurt one's eardrums. Balls of black fog and golden streams of light mixed together and burst out from the collision point. The dazzling light was so dazzling that it was difficult for one to open their eyes.

The Beetle commander continued to exert force. Balls of black mist churned and surged on the spear, pouring into the Moon God barrier. But no matter how hard it tried, the barrier remained unmoved. Only the black and gold energy continued to overflow in all directions.

Not far away, You Chu raised his arm to protect himself. He could barely open his eyes against the shockwaves, but the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile.

He'd fallen for it again.

Just as the spears and shields collided and the two sides were in a deadlock, a complicated array had already quietly opened under Moonlight's feet.

The spear and the barrier consumed each other, and the overflowing energy flowed into the formation under Moonlight's feet like flowing water.

The light of the array flickered, and then the absorbed energy was continuously filled into Moonlight's body.

Until the power of the Beetle commander's attack was completely exhausted, the black fog that was constantly bombarded on the spear was completely exhausted, and not even a drop could be squeezed out. All the energy from the collision between the two sides had been absorbed by the array formation under his feet and filled into Moonlight's body!

The Moon God Barrier was removed, and the Moonlight's sword slashed out. The blade was attached with a dazzling golden light, and the sword was as hot as the sun!

The Beetle commander hurriedly raised his spear. The sword and spear collided, and a muffled explosion sounded like an explosive. A ball of golden energy exploded, causing it to almost lose his spear!

The Beetle commander looked at Moonlight, startled.

Why did her strength increase so much in an instant!?

Then, it looked at the disappearing array at the foot of Moonlight and immediately understood.

It was a trap. Another trap!

The Beetle commander was shaking with rage.

Where did you get so many pits!?

Do you not dare to fight me head-on?

That's right, it was another array formation that You Chu had long prepared.

"Trap card 'Double Charging.'" You Chu laughed from the back.

[Double Charge]

[Trap/Effect: After absorbing a certain amount of impact energy within an effective range, it can be triggered. The absorbed energy will be filled into the designated spell spirit and obtain an instant increase in attack power.]

What Moonlight had just executed was also one of the tactics that You Chu had arranged from the beginning.

Lure the other party into the effective activation range of [Double Charge] and use the skill "Moon God Barrier" to defend against the attack. Then, use [Double Charge] to absorb the impact, allowing Moonlight to obtain an instant buff and counterattack.

The Beetle commander's entire body was wrapped in black fog. He waved his spear and attacked again like a trapped beast.

But it was no use.

Obtained doubled charge of Moonlight, current state—

—It's 1,000%!

Moonlight welcomed the spear and stepped fearlessly into the black fog.

A sword flashed past, and the spear was easily deflected. The scorching golden light dispelled the lingering black fog. The scene was like—

—Break through the clouds to see the sun!
