Apocalypse Gachapon - Chapter 1576.5- Killing the bear

As Ye Zhongming advanced, slashing the ground to summon undead minions as distractions, Nine Treasure—now merged with Xia Bai—transformed.

Its body shrank, and two bumps formed on its back. Soon, a “mini” flying earthworm, only three stories tall, hovered before the Bear King.

Within its large black eyes, Xia Bai’s silhouette was clearly visible.

Beast-Human Fusion—the strongest combat form for any evolved and their battle beast.

Even Ye Zhongming, Yellow Ball, and Yangos lacked this ability.

The transformed Nine Treasure spat venom at the Bear King before circling sharply, its wing-blades slicing at the beast’s back from an awkward angle.

Nine Treasure was tiny—but far more agile than the Bear King’s bulk.

The Bear King could no longer fly without its spinning attack, and its massive body turned sluggishly.

It swatted away the venom, though some stuck to its paw, sizzling faintly. But a level nine lifeform cared little for such minor corrosion.

The Bear King turned, swiping at Nine Treasure, determined to crush this pest first.

But then—wham!

Something slammed into its back, staggering the mountain-like beast.

The Bear King whirled—that damned ball was back!

Still alive?!

The Bear King knew its own strength. When enraged, it could smash mountains with a single strike.

Seeing the hell creature bounce back for another charge, the Bear King bellowed and put full force into its next swipe, sending it flying again.

This time—DIE!

Turning back, it caught Nine Treasure’s wing, slicing its shoulder. It hurt, but not much.

A headbutt sent the “fly” spiraling away, blood trailing behind.

Pathetic.

That was the Bear King’s verdict.

Ye Zhongming seized the moment, closing in with a slash at the Bear King’s leg—the highest point he could reach without jumping.

A small cut opened. Not deep, but it drew blood.

The Bear King yowled, kicking Ye Zhongming away.

Its almost-human face flickered with pain—but only for a second.

The Undead Sand Moon Blade’s debuffs couldn’t last long on a level nine lifeform—not even two seconds.

Still, the sensation pissed it off. It lumbered toward Ye Zhongming, raising a paw to crush him.

Kill the leader, break their spirit.

But before the strike landed—BAM!

Its arm was knocked aside, the paw slamming into the ground ten meters away. The impact sent Ye Zhongming bouncing.

The Bear King glared—that damn ball AGAIN!

Now it realized: this thing wasn’t normal.

Nothing survived multiple direct hits from it.

The ice birds still hadn’t gotten up, writhing in the distance.

Ye Zhongming, spared once more, noticed it too. The hell creature had taken several blows, yet showed no visible damage.

Such insane defense?

Even Ye Zhongming’s defenses, among the best of human evolved, were in tatters after facing the Snow Wolf King and Bear King. How was this thing unscathed?

Abandoning Ye Zhongming, the Bear King focused on the hell creature. This time, elemental energy surged around its paw.

A massive ice block materialized mid-air as it swung, while another erupted from the ground.

CRASH!

The two ice slabs sandwiched the hellspawn, deforming its spherical body.

The Bear King grinned. No matter how tough, this ends it.

Then—PAIN!

Something struck the back of its skull.

What now?

It touched the spot—wet. Blood?

The Bear King stared in disbelief at Nine Treasure. Its attacks grew stronger?!

Today’s enemies were all freaks—bleeding yet still fighting back.

It unleashed another innate ability with a silent roar (inaudible to others). Nine Treasure convulsed as if struck by an invisible force, hurtling backward and carving a bloody trench into the ground.

Annoying pests—DIE ALREADY!

Now, only Ye Zhongming remained.

The Cloud Peak King stood, blood dripping from his lips. In a flash, he teleported beneath the Bear King, slashing the same wound on its leg before retreating.

But the distance was too short. A casual backhand sent him flying again.

The Bear King raised its foot, ready to stomp him flat.

These ants had been troublesome, but victory was still his.

Then—WHOOSH!

The Bear King almost screamed.

That ball not only didn’t die, it knocked it again!
