America: The Cremator

Chapter 131 I gave you a chance, but you still couldn't use it!

A violent cold wave blasted at Su Long, the low temperature easily penetrating his clothes and seeping into the surface of his skin.

His limbs lost sensation from the cold, his vision began to blur and become unfocused, as if a thicker and thicker layer of gray fog had been shrouded in his eyes. Accompanied by a strong sense of dizziness, his vision was plunged into darkness.

After a moment, the dizziness lessened a bit, and Su Long suddenly opened his eyes, turned his head to look around, and his heart sank.

Dania was gone, Hannah was gone, and even the road beneath their feet and the surrounding forest had completely disappeared.

What came into view was an endless expanse of pale ice.

The sky was a hazy gray, as if it were pressing down on us. A fierce wind howled, whipping up heavy snow, and cold and deathly silence filled the space.

Su Long straightened up, clenched his fists, and cursed in a low voice, "Shit! Did this bastard activate his Ghost Domain while he was dying?"

'

After cursing, he immediately focused his mind, his eyes gleaming, and pushed his spiritual vision to its limit, trying to find Wendigo's trace in this vast snowfield.

Looking around, however, the familiar red vulnerability boxes did not appear as expected.

It seems that the psychic vision has lost its effectiveness, and Wendigo has used the frigid, eerie realm it created to completely conceal itself.

Surong cautiously looked around. Relying on his intuition from dealing with the eerie, he sensed a dangerous aura lurking around him, and a gaze filled with savagery and hunger was being cast upon him from the heavy snow.

He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, reached down to take the "Raphael" from his waist, used his thumb to open the lid, and tilted his head back to take a big gulp.

The spicy liquor flowed down my esophagus, a warm current spread through my stomach, quickly dispelling the stiffness in my limbs and greatly replenishing my lost energy.

Putting away the wine jug, Su Long flipped his hands over, and the "Lucas" inscribed with a cross was firmly placed on his fists. With his will, blazing primordial fire instantly rose from his fists.

He crouched slightly, assuming a fighting stance, his eyes constantly scanning the surrounding snow, warily awaiting Wendigo's move.

"Whoosh!"

Without warning, the snow curtain directly in front of them was torn apart, and a sharp claw covered in frost suddenly emerged from the wind and snow, heading straight for Sulong's chest.

The attack was so fast that Su Long didn't have time to dodge before it landed squarely on his chest.

"Sizzle—"

'

His outer clothing was instantly torn to shreds by the terrifying claws, which sliced ​​through the silver chainmail Su Long was wearing, sending sparks flying.

The immense impact sent Su Long sliding back several meters. He regained his balance and looked down at his chest.

Five deep cracks appeared on the sturdy silver chainmail, and the edges of the broken silver clasps were even covered with a layer of frost.

Su Long suddenly exerted force in his right arm muscles, and his heavy fist, wreathed in golden flames, slammed down in the direction from which the claws had reached. The fiery fist wind howled out, blasting a huge hole in the snow curtain.

However, Wendigo had already changed positions after scoring.

Before Su Long could retract his fist, a sharp gust of wind attacked him from behind.

The enormous claws emerged from the snowstorm once more, viciously clawing at his back. Accompanied by a tooth-grinding metallic scraping sound, sparks flew from the chainmail, and the powerful force sent Sulong staggering.

Using the momentum, Su Long twisted his waist sharply and thrust his left fist backward, but it still hit empty air. His burning fist only managed to scorch a few falling snowflakes.

"Damn it!"

Su Long straightened up, looking at the still howling wind and snow in front of him, and realized that he had to take the initiative to break the layer of wind and snow that was blocking his view.

Otherwise, it will continue to use the wind and snow as cover, exhausting its own strength until it is completely tortured to death.

Suron didn't know how much longer Wendigo had to live, but he hated this cat-and-mouse game and hated being led by the nose by his enemies.

He took off the wine jug again, tilted his head back and gulped down a large mouthful of wine. The intense stimulation exploded in his mouth, making Su Long squint his eyes.

Just as he was about to put the lid on the pot with one hand, the snow curtain on his left suddenly broke open, and deadly claws swung out again, grabbing straight for Su Long's unsuspecting left arm.

"Pfft!"

A muffled thud as flesh was torn apart rang out, and five horrific, deep wounds, exposing bone, instantly appeared on Su Long's left arm.

The bright red blood had just gushed out when it was frozen into dark red ice crystals by the extreme cold. The broken muscle tissue rolled over, and a layer of deathly gray frostbite marks quickly spread across the surface of the wound.

Ignoring the injury to his left arm, Su Long suddenly raised his head and forcefully spat out the wine in his mouth towards the sky above. The wine turned into a fine cloud of water vapor in mid-air.

Immediately afterwards, he exerted force from his waist, and his fingers, wrapped in golden flames, touched the center of the cloud of wine and mist.

The intense primordial flames instantly ignited the alcohol, causing a massive fireball to explode in mid-air, with the intense heat and shockwaves sweeping out in all directions.

The sea of ​​fire instantly engulfed the surrounding frigid airflow, melting and evaporating all the blizzard that had obscured his vision, and sending large amounts of water vapor into the air.

The originally tight and seamless wind and snow barrier was burned into a huge vacuum zone.

The snowflakes that had obscured the view dissipated, and Wendigo's enormous and ferocious figure was finally exposed, with nowhere to hide, right in front of Suron.

Its claws were raised high, ready to launch the next attack.

"Got you?"

With a cold look in his eyes, Su Long shattered the hard ice beneath his feet and shot out like an arrow, instantly covering a distance of more than ten meters and closing in on Wendigo.

The muscles in his right arm bulged, and his heavy fist, imbued with the raging primal fire of brass knuckles, slammed into Wendigo's thick ice crystal armor without reservation.

"Thump—!"

A deep, thunderous roar exploded across the ice field.

Golden flames surged wildly from the tips of the knuckle dusters into the ice armor, where the intense heat and extreme cold collided violently, producing a piercing hissing sound.

The seemingly indestructible surface of the ice crystal armor was instantly ripped open by a dense network of spiderweb-like cracks.

The immense impact jolted Wendigo's massive body, causing him to stagger back several steps.

The next moment, two lines of system notifications popped up on Su Long's retina.

The enemy is stunned.

[Our side gains the Berserk effect]

The moment the prompt appeared, Su Long felt an unprecedented surge of violent power erupt from his limbs and bones, and his muscle fibers instantly became as tough as steel cables.

His speed, strength, and reflexes were greatly enhanced at this moment.

On the other hand, Wendigo's eyes flashed with obvious blankness, his massive body frozen in place, completely losing control of his body.

Seizing this excellent opportunity, Sulong exerted force with both legs, leaned forward, and threw two more heavy punches at Wendigo.

With a whistling sound, his left fist slammed precisely into the crater. This blow completely exceeded the limits of the ice crystal armor. With a crisp cracking sound, the large piece of ice armor on Wendigo's chest collapsed, revealing the charred flesh beneath.

Immediately following, Su Long's right fist, wreathed in even hotter golden flames, slammed into the defenseless flesh. Primal fire surged wildly into its body through the wound, triggering a violent explosion.

The raging flames exploded violently inside Wendigo's chest cavity, the high temperature and impact tearing its muscle tissue and bones apart, large pieces of charred flesh were blown everywhere, and the broken ribs became brittle under the high temperature.

Two more system notifications appeared before Su Long's eyes.

The enemy is inflicted with Weakness and Slowness effects.

Our side gains the Armor Penetration and Fearless effects.

Weakness and sluggishness simultaneously descended upon Wendigo, which roared and swung down its right arm, its massive claws aimed straight for Suron's head.

However, under the suppression of the sluggish state, its claw movements appeared extremely sluggish, and the high-speed swings that could originally tear through the air were now surprisingly slow.

Su Long pushed off with his feet, tilting his body slightly to the left, easily avoiding the claw strike that carried an extremely cold airflow.

Immediately afterwards, he used the dodge posture to twist his waist, his right arm muscles tensed, burning with golden flames, and he delivered a heavy swing punch to Wendigo's abdomen.

With the armor-piercing effect, the fist shattered the thick, hard ice crystal armor the moment it touched Wendigo's abdomen, and large pieces of ice crystals flew outwards with a crisp cracking sound.

The primordial fire penetrated Wendigo's body without hindrance, instantly evaporating the black blood around the wound and pulverizing the internal organs.

The immense force caused Wendigo to let out a painful roar, its massive body staggering backward, its heavy footsteps leaving deep craters in the ice field. It took it more than a dozen steps to barely regain its footing.

The excruciating pain fully unleashed the monster's ferocity. As soon as it regained its footing, its mangled, blood-red maw suddenly opened wide, and the surrounding frigid air currents frantically converged into its mouth.

The next moment, a frigid storm mixed with ice spikes and blizzard burst forth from its mouth, sweeping over Suron.

Seeing the oncoming icy airflow, Su Long did not choose to retreat. Instead, he took a deep breath and unleashed the [Overlord Aura] with a deafening roar.

A substantial sonic wave erupted from his mouth, forming a visible fan-shaped impact surface that slammed into the sweeping blizzard, tearing apart the frigid airflow and forcefully pushing the snow and ice back.

The sonic shockwave, mixed with ice crystals, slammed heavily into the Wendigo, the immense force disrupting its center of gravity and hurling the behemoth to the ground.

Sulong gave it no chance to catch its breath. He suddenly exerted force with both legs and sprinted forward at full speed. When he was still a few meters away from it, he bent his knees and used the momentum to leap high into the air.

In mid-air, he clenched his right fist, and the "Lucas" ring on his finger burst out with a dazzling golden light, as the primordial fire gathered and compressed wildly on his fist.

The Wendigo lying on the ground sensed the deadly threat above. It quickly rolled over, forcibly straightened its upper body, lowered its head, and aimed its only remaining intact antler at Suron in mid-air, attempting to use its height advantage to kill Suron directly.

Seeing the sharp antlers pointing directly at him, Su Long did not flinch. He gathered all his strength in his right fist and slammed it down hard.

The brass knuckles wreathed in golden flames collided violently with the hard antlers in mid-air, triggering a fierce fireball. The raging shockwave spread outwards, scraping away a layer of ice from the ground.

The powerful recoil sent Su Long flying. He quickly adjusted his posture in the air, rolled several times, and finally landed steadily on the ice surface more than ten meters away.

At the epicenter of the explosion, Wendigo's incredibly hard antlers were instantly blasted into countless fragments by the power of the blast. The high-temperature fireball then engulfed its entire head, and the scorching flames scorched its flesh relentlessly.

Wendigo let out an extremely piercing scream, raised its frost-covered claws, and viciously tore off its charred forehead, brutally ripping away the entire burnt skin of its face.

A large gush of dark red blood gushed out from the torn muscle tissue, instantly staining its enormous eyes red.

It turned its bloodied head and stared intently at Su Long in the distance. A strange, dark red light suddenly burst forth from its blood-soaked eyes.

The moment Su Long was stared at, his brain was suddenly struck hard. A violent wave of dizziness swept over him, accompanied by a sharp, stabbing headache. The world in front of him began to shake and distort wildly. He completely lost his sense of direction, and even standing became extremely difficult.

Not only was there physical pain, but a torrent of pure, distorted negative emotions flooded his mind: hatred, jealousy, and...

Ferocity, destructive urges—he even felt an unbearable hunger, an urgent urge to tear at the flesh on his own arm.

Sulong gritted his teeth, immediately realizing that Wendigo was using his eyes as a medium to release extremely deadly mental pollution and harm into him.

His legs buckled, and he knelt on one knee on the ice, his hands gripping the ground tightly as he gasped for breath, desperately fighting off the insane thoughts in his mind.

Through his blurred vision, he saw Wendigo slowly stand up, dragging its broken body, stepping on the ice shards, and approaching him step by step.

Su Long endured the excruciating pain that felt like his brain was being torn apart, abruptly raised his head, met Wendigo's dark red gaze directly, and unleashed the terrifying impact of [Overlord's Aura] with all his might.

An invisible spiritual force burst forth from Suron's eyes, colliding fiercely in mid-air with the dark red pollution beam released by Wendigo.

The two extremely powerful spiritual forces clashed with each other, even causing faint ripples to appear in the surrounding cold air, shredding the falling snowflakes.

With his mental strength holding firm, Su Long's intense headache and dizziness finally eased slightly. He quickly freed one hand, pulled off the wine flask at his waist, and gulped down a large mouthful of wine.

The intense alcohol sensation exploded in my stomach and spread upwards, while the mental anguish was forcefully suppressed by the spiritual liquor, and my body regained its strength.

Taking advantage of a brief moment of clarity, Sulong suddenly stood up, quickly drew the "Sirius" from his waist with his right hand, and tried to shoot Wendigo in the eye.

However, the lingering dizziness deep in his brain made it impossible for him to focus his vision, and the gun barrel swayed slightly in mid-air.

Sulong abandoned his plan to shoot the head and aimed the gun at Wendigo's larger chest, frantically pulling the trigger with his index finger, emptying the magazine of bullets.

Deafening gunfire echoed across the icy plains, bullets pounding into Wendigo's chest, exploding into sprays of blood.

After the last bullet was fired, the Primal Fire flowed into the chamber, and Suron fired a Primal Fireball.

The golden fireball, trailing a contrail, accurately struck Wendigo's ravaged chest cavity, where it exploded with a deafening roar inside its body.

Wendigo's massive body stiffened abruptly in the flames, then collapsed as if it had lost the support of its legs, crashing heavily onto the ice.

Its arms hung limply at its sides, the red light in its blood-red eyes slowly dimmed and went out, and its aura gradually weakened until it completely dissipated.

With Wendigo's complete death, the mental pressure that had been weighing on Sulong's mind vanished instantly, the negative emotions in his mind faded away, and the dizziness and headache disappeared as well.

Su Long quietly activated his spiritual vision, and after seeing that the familiar red weakness mark was no longer visible on the massive body, he confirmed that the creature was completely dead.

The howling wind and snow gradually subsided, and the familiar dizziness returned. The vast ice field crumbled and disintegrated inch by inch as the world spun around, eventually disappearing completely.

As the dizziness subsided, Su Long's feet touched the damp, soft soil, and the familiar fir forest once again came into view.

The cold morning wind blew by, and the smell of gunpowder and fish immediately filled the air.

The Wendigo's massive body was kneeling not far in front of him. The hard ice armor that had covered its body had completely melted, turning into pools of foul-smelling black water that seeped into the soil.

The battered body, having lost its strength, was visibly shriveling up.

Su Long stepped forward and examined the corpse. Its chest and abdomen had been completely blown open, leaving it empty. The few remaining charred ribs were curled outwards, making it look extremely tragic.

Just minutes ago, this guy was a shadow of despair hanging over everyone in Caster Town, a ghostly and oppressive C-rank high-level eerie being.

Now dead here, having lost its eerie power, it looks like nothing more than a strange-looking stray dog.

His body was deformed and ugly, his appearance was dilapidated, and he exuded no sense of oppression.

Surong looked at the Wendigo corpse before him and sneered, "You went to all that trouble to drag me into the Ghost Realm, I thought you'd have some skills, but this is all?"

"Even if I gave you a chance, you still wouldn't be able to use it!"
