America: The Cremator

The next moment, a burst of blazing golden light erupted from Su Long's palm.

The primordial fire, as if it possessed a life of its own, surged into the interior of the revolver through the gaps in the cylinder.

Golden flames rapidly condensed in the gun barrel, transforming into the shape of a solid bullet.

"boom!"

A deafening explosion erupted in Su Long's hand; it was not the sound of an ordinary bullet being fired.

The "bullet" formed from condensed flames exploded inside the gun barrel, unleashing a powerful propulsive force that slid at high speed along the rifling before finally striking the oil canister in the woman's abdomen, which was covered in rainwater.

Dania's body suddenly froze in mid-air as she watched the golden flames erupt from Suron's gun and strike the target with pinpoint accuracy.

The oil canister exploded inside the woman in the rain, the scorching flames clashing violently with the icy rain, producing a piercing hissing sound. Her blackened body trembled violently as flames erupted from within, instantly engulfing her entire body.

Her body was completely destroyed, leaving only a head formed from rainwater, struggling in the flames.

The head let out a piercing scream, as if it wanted to perish together with Su Long. It twisted and expanded violently in the flames, then opened its mouth and spat out dozens of sharp black spikes, which shot towards Su Long like a rainstorm.

"Watch out!" At this moment, Dania had already rushed behind Sulong and saw one of the spikes heading straight for Sulong's face. Without hesitation, she tackled him to the ground.

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"

Three muffled thuds.

Spikes tore through Dania's tactical jacket and pierced her body.

A sharp spike pierced through Su Long's left arm, and blood instantly stained his sleeve.

At the same time, several sharp raindrops slammed into his chest, and despite the protection of his chainmail, he still felt a dull pain in his chest.

Su Long groaned, but ignored his injuries and kept his eyes fixed on the woman in the rain.

At this moment, the kerosene and rainwater were completely mixed together, and the fragments of the woman in the rain and her struggling head were completely entangled in the golden flames.

She let out a silent roar, trying to escape as water vapor once more.

A golden light flashed in Su Long's eyes.

[Conqueror's Haki - Overbearing Aura]

An invisible force precisely acted on the head of the woman in the rain, causing her movements to suddenly halt, forcibly binding her in place.

Under the scorching heat of the primordial fire, all the black rain and the head were completely reduced to wisps of white ash, dissipating into the air.

Su Long suddenly turned his head and looked at the ceramic bathtub not far away.

At this moment, the black mud in the bathtub had completely disappeared, leaving only the eerie painting leaning against the tub wall.

Suron quickly spun out of his revolver's cylinder and loaded new ammunition: "Danya, petroleum grease!"

Dania was lying on top of Su Long, her breathing rapid, blood seeping from the wound on her back. But she understood Su Long's meaning, and immediately took another aluminum oil canister from her waist. With all her might, she threw it toward the bathtub. The oil canister drew an arc in the air and flew directly over the bathtub.

Sulong raised his revolver and aimed.

"Bang!"

A gunshot rang out, and a pure silver bullet struck the oil canister in mid-air with pinpoint accuracy.

The oil canister exploded in mid-air, and the burning oil covered the entire bathtub like a shower of flowers.

The painting inside the bathtub was instantly set on fire.

Golden flames spread rapidly, engulfing the canvas.

"Lady in the Rain" twisted and deformed in the flames, eventually turning into a wisp of smoke and disappearing completely.

[Burning the corpse of the C-rank eerie woman in the rain removes the curse attribute "Abomination of Rainwater"; the blessing attribute "Gift of Blood Rain" is upgraded to 1 star, gaining 10 experience points.]

[Completely kill the C-rank Mysterious Woman in the Rain, gain 30 experience points.]

Su Long's consciousness was briefly occupied by the information popped up by the system.

However, he had no time to consider the detailed changes to the entry at that moment.

As the aftershocks of the adrenaline subsided, the sharp pain in my shoulder became clearer, and I also felt a dull ache in my chest.

Su Long looked down to check and found that his jacket on the left shoulder had been torn into three irregular holes.

The links of the silver-tungsten alloy chainmail below the hole were also deformed and blackened, clearly indicating that this armor had shielded him from the fatal impact.

Dania's body shrank rapidly in Sulong's arms, returning to human form.

She looked up, her bright blue eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Suron, we won!"

Then, her eyes dimmed again, and her tone was tinged with frustration: "I'm sorry, I thought the plan was foolproof, but I didn't expect her to be able to manipulate the rainwater to break through the drainage pipes."

"If we don't let her use any rainwater, it will be easier for us to fight."

She paused, her gaze falling on Su Long's torn shoulder: "Su, I feel like what I've made you do has gone far beyond being bait."

"I'm sorry, I'll make it up to you!"

Sulong's gaze swept over the ravaged battlefield and the eerie sight of things turning to ashes in the flames.

"It's alright, your plan was already very good," he replied calmly, with a hint of reassurance in his tone. "You also played a significant role."

He then bent down to check Dania's injuries.

Her rain jacket was soaked through and clung to her body.

There were wounds on his left shoulder, inner thigh, and lower abdomen, pierced by sharp raindrops, and bright red blood was slowly seeping out, staining his clothes.

Su Long frowned, then said with some relief, "Fortunately, those spikes didn't hit any vital areas."

After saying that, he unscrewed the lid of the "Raphael" flask at his waist and whispered a reminder: "It will hurt a little now, just bear with it."

There wasn't much wine left in the flask, so Suron carefully sprinkled it evenly over Dania's three wounds.

The moment the cold liquid touched her skin, Dania's body trembled violently, and she let out a soft cry. The pain made her instinctively bite her lip.

However, the excruciating pain only lasted for a moment.

The muscles at the wound site visibly wriggle and contract, pulling the torn skin back together.

The bleeding stopped, the torn tissue healed quickly, leaving only a few faint red marks.

Dania's breathing became steady, and she reached out and gently touched her healed wound.

"Your sacred object...is truly amazing."

She looked up at Su Long, her gaze falling on the empty wine jug in his hand, before turning to Su Long's injured shoulder.

"You've run out of drinks? What about your injury?"

Su Long felt a sharp pain in his left arm, but with the rapid regeneration ability at his disposal, full recovery was only a matter of time: "It's alright, my injury will heal soon."

Dania looked at his wound with some suspicion, and only after confirming that it had stopped bleeding did she take out her phone from her pocket and send a message.

"Someone will be here to meet us soon."

Upon hearing this, Su Long asked softly, "Should we get up first?"

Upon hearing this, Dania put away her phone, her gaze falling on Su Long's face. She then gently grabbed Su Long's sleeve and said, "Sit with me for a while."

Her voice was low and tired.

"I'm a bit exhausted, my legs are weak."

Su Long was silent for a moment, then finally nodded.

"All right."

He didn't pull away from Dania's hand, letting her lean against him, and then he brought up the system panel.

"It's time to examine the changes to the term."
