Chapter 41 The Unconventional 'Bullet'

Faced with the powerful Coral Knight, Caroline, who had been hiding her strength, finally unleashed her true power at this moment.

Even Tiandao, who thought he knew Caroline inside and out, was somewhat shocked by this scene.

Because in the original story, Caroline noticed Coral Knight's unusual behavior very early on.

They also guessed that the eerie fog that filled the entire parking lot was created by their instructor, Yun Meng.

Therefore, she still demonstrated considerable combat power in the original storyline.

But it was far from reaching the exaggerated level it is now.

It can be said that if Heaven hadn't chosen to 'fake death,' causing Caroline to completely lose her mind, she would have been completely irrational.

The calm and intelligent Caroline will surely figure out what happened here soon and choose to 'protect herself' once again.

Thinking of this, Tiandao suddenly became curious.

I'm curious to see just how powerful Caroline truly is now.

After all, if we only look at the current situation...

So, she, the nominal No. 4 among the Star Children, is actually slightly stronger than Chenxing, the No. 2 among the Star Children.

At the same time, after sensing the extraordinary strength of Caroline and Dust Star, Coral Knights gradually became serious.

But as Coral Knight got completely serious...

Caroline and Dust Star, who were initially able to put up a fight, quickly found themselves at a complete disadvantage.

Because whether it's Caroline's 'Overload' or Dust Star's 'Infernal Fire'.

They are limited by their low 'star energy value'.

This meant that even though their attacks far exceeded the average level of their peers, they still couldn't shake the Coral Knights, who were only second-level Star Envoys.

This situation became particularly evident after the Coral Knights suffered a loss at the hands of the Heavenly Dao.

Because the current Coral Knights will not underestimate any 'Level One Star Envoy'.

Or rather, he will no longer treat any of the 'Children of the Stars' as ordinary 'First-Class Star Envoys'.

And when stability becomes the main theme of Coral Knight.

With his superior star energy values, combat experience, and star source development, he completely outclassed Chen Xing and his companion, so there was no possibility of him losing.

Unless, other variables arise.

For example, the sixth brother who was overlooked by everyone.

In the real world, there are 13 stations.

Looking at Caroline and Dust Star in the scene, who were completely overwhelmed by Coral Knight despite their best efforts.

The audience immediately understood the vast difference between them and the Coral Knights.

At the same time, they realized how vast the gap was between them and the Way of Heaven.

After all, the Coral Knight, whom they were struggling to defeat even when they joined forces, had previously been completely defeated by the Heavenly Dao in a way that was almost overwhelming!

'I encountered a Level Two Star Envoy by chance, and despite my best efforts, I could not defeat him.'

Heavenly Dao: Strange, is this guy really that hard to beat? It feels like I could kill him with a single kick.

'Caroline: Oh no, this is a high-level game!'

Just when Caroline and her companion thought defeat was inevitable.

The anime suddenly switched the camera to Chen Kong.

Faced with this sudden scene change, the audience knew that this was to create a highlight moment for the protagonist, Chen Kong.

They all sat up straight, eagerly anticipating Chen Kong's performance.

At this moment, Chen Kong was secretly hiding behind an abandoned car at the edge of the area, carefully observing the battle that was taking place not far away.

And because he had already unleashed his 'First Star Core - Sky Pattern'.

This caused the Coral Knight, who was engaged in battle, to completely overlook his presence.

"I only have one chance."

Looking at the Coral Knight, whose entire body was covered in coral armor, with a fist in his left hand and a spear in his right.

Under intense tension, Chen Kong not only had a lot of sweat pouring down his forehead, but his right hand was also trembling uncontrollably.

However, the audience in the anime/manga/game community did not express too much criticism of his performance.

After all, they were well aware of Chen Kong's strength.

As a born powerhouse, Tiandao not only has to win, but also needs to win beautifully and spectacularly in order to meet the audience's expectations of him.

Similarly, as a naturally weak person, Chen Kong receives very low expectations from the audience.

I don't need him to win, I just hope he doesn't lose too badly.

Being weak is never wrong; it is giving in to depravity that is.

Therefore, regardless of whether Chen Kong succeeds later.

Just having this idea and being willing to take action for it already makes him worthy of the title of 'anime protagonist' in the eyes of the audience.

After all, not everyone is called the God of Destiny, and not everyone has the courage to face difficulties head-on.

Inside the parking lot, Caroline was sent flying by a punch from the Coral Knight and lay on the ground, her fate unknown.

Dust Star was entangled by the Coral Knight's soft spear blade, and the demon sword in his hand fell to the ground, completely losing his ability to fight.

Chen Kong, who had been hiding nearby, knew he couldn't wait any longer.

Success or failure depends on this!
"Cough, cough cough." Dust Star's body was wrapped around by the Coral Knight's three-meter-long coral spear blade.

He coughed violently while gripping the tip of the gun blade at his neck with both hands, trying to breathe normally.

However, faced with an absolute difference in strength, Chen Xing was simply unable to break free from the restraints of the spear blade.

She could only gradually feel her thoughts becoming muddled and her body slowly losing sensation.

We are powerless and unable to change anything.

And looking at Chenxing, who was about to faint and lose consciousness.

A flicker of hesitation crossed the eyes beneath the Coral Knight's mask.

Because, given his personality, the so-called test would be pretty much over at this point.

However, according to what Tiandao and Yunmeng said, it would be best for him to make Chenxing completely unconscious.

Only in this way could she truly feel how 'weak' she was in front of him.

For some reason, Coral Knight always felt like he had forgotten something.

But he couldn't remember what he had missed, as if some invisible force was suppressing his thoughts and perceptions.

This strange feeling made Coral Knight inexplicably irritable.

But just then, the Coral Knight suddenly felt a strange noise coming from behind him.

He turned his head sharply and saw that Chen Kong had appeared three meters behind him at some point, pointing the special black gun in his hand at him.

The Coral Knight's pupils constricted as he stared at the suddenly appearing dust.

when?
Bang Bang Bang!
Without giving him time to think, three loud gunshots rang out.

Chen Kong fired three specially made bullets from the black gun in his hand.

The three bullets, accompanied by swirling air currents, flew toward Coral Knight's face at an astonishing speed.

Driven by his terrifying fighting instincts honed over many years, Coral Knight immediately and instinctively raised his right hand.

In a very short time, the fist on his right hand reformed into a small shield, attempting to block Chen Kong's sneak attack head-on.

Click!

To Coral Knight's surprise, his shield, which could withstand attacks from ordinary level two Star Envoys, failed to completely block Dust Sky's three bullets.

The first special bullet fired by Chen Kong struck his shield, immediately causing the star energy on the shield to become disordered.

The shield immediately developed a significant crack.

Then, the second bullet hit the same spot where the first bullet had been fired.

And after completely penetrating the shield, it touched the helmet on the Coral Knight's face.

In fact, it left not only a small bullet hole on the helmet.

This also caused a strange crack to appear on the Coral Knight's helmet.

Finally, the remaining third bullet followed the trajectory of the previous two bullets.

It struck Coral Knight's face with incredible precision.

Although the three bullets arrived almost one after the other.

However, Coral Knight immediately turned his head away after noticing the unusual nature of the first bullet.

So much so that the last bullet ultimately failed to seriously injure Coral Knight.

After breaking through the helmet covering his face, a scratch appeared on his cheek, from which dark red blood flowed.

Three bullets, one wound.

Chen Kong stared in astonishment at the Coral Knight, whose cheek was only slightly bleeding. He clearly hadn't expected that his long-prepared sneak attack would only yield such a result.

He looked at the two-meter-tall coral knight in front of him, whose body was covered with ferocious coral stingers.

His expression turned ashen, and his eyes were filled with despair.

Because he understood that he had absolutely no chance left.

Da da da--

Coral Knight released the unconscious Dust Star, took heavy and slow steps, and walked silently to Dust Sky. He looked down at him and slowly raised his hand.

And looking at the calm eyes beneath the Coral Knight's helmet, and the blood slowly flowing down his cheek.

Chen Kong felt a chill run down his spine, his mind went blank, and he closed his eyes in despair.

Strangely, after he closed his eyes and waited for a moment,

The imagined excruciating pain did not occur.

Instead, the Coral Knight gave a light pat on the shoulder and uttered those strange, approving words.

"Not bad, I didn't expect you could actually hurt me. None of you children of the stars are simple after all."

"By the way, I can sense that the three bullets you just fired were not ordinary bullets; they seemed to contain some special stellar source properties."

"Otherwise, I don't think ordinary bullets could so easily penetrate my 'coral armor' and successfully injure me."

"Can you tell me where you got those bullets? I'm quite curious."

Chen Kong opened his eyes, staring in astonishment at the Coral Knight in front of him, who was smiling and had a friendly demeanor.

After a long pause, Chen Kong finally managed to utter a single word.

"what?"
