Why is my anime art style so weird?

time up!

Xu Ming immediately released the shutter button.

With a barely perceptible clear sound, the purple-gold radiance instantly stole all the surrounding light, even completely suppressing the raging flames emanating from the lava lake beside the Netherflame Palace.

"what!!"

The headless witch let out a painful wail.

The pillar of fire she released was instantly extinguished by the light.

As the light gradually faded, everyone saw the once arrogant headless witch lying on the floor in a sorry state, her body emitting wisps of smoke as if she were on fire.

The head she was holding fell to the side, her face covered in burn marks, including her eyelids, which were burned off. Her face, covered in blisters and scorch marks, looked horrific.

Yukinoshita Haruno held her younger sister's hand and cautiously peeked out from behind Xu Ming.

As soon as the battle began, she cleverly pulled her younger sister and hid behind Xu Ming.

Seeing the terrifying woman lying on the ground, he immediately asked cautiously:

"Is she dead?"

Xu Ming frowned as he carefully observed the headless witch.

Although the opponent's aura had weakened to the extreme, it did not seem to have disappeared.

Xu Ming immediately called on everyone to prepare to finish off the enemy.

Just then, a large amount of black negative energy appeared out of nowhere and poured into the headless witch's body.

The head that had fallen to the ground was healing its facial injuries at a speed almost visible to the naked eye.

A sense of foreboding rose in Xu Ming's heart, and he immediately shouted loudly.

"Attack now! Don't let her recover!"

As if waking from a dream, everyone unleashed a barrage of attacks at the headless witch.

In an instant, lightning flashed and thunder roared in mid-air, and the air twisted.

Unfortunately, it seems we were a step too late.

The head's eyes snapped open, a hint of mockery in them.

Swish!

The headless witch suddenly stood up.

Without her making any move, black flames surrounded her like a shield, instantly blocking all attacks.

Xu Ming showed a hint of regret.

We were still a little too late.

"Damn it! Damn it!!"

The headless witch glared at the crowd with resentment, muttering curses incessantly.

Suddenly, a delicate little wind chime appeared in her hand.

She quickly rang the wind chimes.

Ding!

The clear and melodious sound echoed in the empty temple.

Xu Ming immediately scanned his surroundings with great vigilance.

Soon, more than a dozen vengeful clergy spirits emerged from all directions.

The headless witch is using a wind chime to summon the vengeful spirits of the priests of the Underworld Flame Palace!

Tear them to pieces!

The headless witch pointed at Xu Ming and the others while holding a wind chime.

The vengeful spirit immediately pounced on Xu Ming and the others.

Taking advantage of the moment, the headless witch flew out of the temple and directly to the lava lake next to the Dark Flame Palace.

She floated above the lava, head held high and hands raised, as if supporting something.

As she moved, the calm lava lake below suddenly boiled, with large amounts of bubbles constantly rising to the surface, spraying scorching sparks all around.

Soon, wisps of black 'mist' emerged from the lava and flew toward the headless witch.

At the same time, three or four fireballs made of black flames condensed around her body, revolving around her like satellites.

Xu Ming tried swinging the crowbar, but he soon realized with dismay that the headless witch was already more than a hundred meters away from him.

For now, we can only leave the headless shrine maiden to Haruyuki Arita to deal with.

Xu Ming glanced worriedly at the headless shrine maiden floating on the lava, then looked away and began to cooperate with Erina and Asagami Fujino to kill the vengeful spirits, while also protecting the Yukinoshita sisters.

Erina used both hands to throw sharp lightning spears at the vengeful spirit.

Asagami Fujino skillfully switched between using the Distorted Mystic Eyes and the Amaterasu Mystic Eyes.

Chapter 397 It's finally over.

When the vengeful spirits are concentrated, Asagami Fujino will use her Distorted Mystic Eyes to capture them all.

When facing a single vengeful spirit, Asagami Fujino would directly ignite the abyssal flames within the spirit's body, causing it to burn itself to death. This method consumed less energy and was faster.

Xu Ming brandished the crowbar, attacking one vengeful spirit after another.

Yukinoshita, holding her younger sister, hid behind Xu Ming, watching in terror as vengeful spirits with cold and ferocious faces flew around in the empty temple.

Although the headless witch summoned a large number of vengeful spirits, they were no match for Xu Ming and his companions.

After most of the vengeful spirits were eliminated, Xu Ming immediately focused his attention on the headless witch floating on the lava.

It's obvious even to a fool that the headless witch is preparing a powerful attack.

Unfortunately, this enemy was far too cautious, managing to hide so far away all at once.

Now Xu Ming can only place his hopes on Haruyuki Arita.

Haruyuki Arita circled in the air, quietly flew to the diagonal rear of the headless shrine maiden, then suddenly folded his wings, raised his laser sword, and began to accelerate and dive towards the headless shrine maiden's back.

In the blink of an eye, Haruyuki Arita, like a silver meteor, had already rushed behind the headless shrine maiden, less than a meter away from her.

The opponent did not seem to notice Haruyuki Arita's sneak attack, and did not change his movements at all.

Just as Haruyuki Arita's laser sword was about to pierce her back, the headless shrine maiden suddenly revealed a mocking expression.

The next second, the black fireballs that had been orbiting the headless shrine maiden's body like satellites all flew toward Haruyuki Arita.

"!"

Haruyuki Arita, as expected of a skilled gamer, almost instinctively raised his lightsaber in the heat of the moment and slashed it twice, splitting two fireballs in half. At the same time, he slightly twisted his body to dodge another one.

However, the two were still too close, and Haruyuki Arita was unable to dodge the last fireball, which struck him directly in the chest.

Bah!

Black flames burst open and instantly spread along Haruyuki Arita's body.

"what!"

Haruyuki Arita let out a scream, like a downed fighter jet, and plummeted headfirst into the scorching lava lake.

Xu Ming was taken aback and quickly retrieved Arita Haruyuki from the Hyakki Yagyōshō.

Haruyuki Arita, who had been on whom high hopes were placed, instantly lost his fighting ability.

Xu Ming could only try to have Erina and Asagami Fujino launch attacks on the headless shrine maiden in the distance from a distance.

However, perhaps because the distance was too far, accuracy was not guaranteed at all.

Even if she hits the opponent, the black fireballs floating around the headless witch's body will immediately block her in front of her, turning into a shield to neutralize the attacks from both of them.

Xu Ming's eyebrows furrowed involuntarily.

At such a distance, even if you use Schrödinger's crowbar and are lucky enough to randomly get a "warp", you can't guarantee that you can hit the opponent.

Moreover, it can only increase the range; the crowbar is completely ineffective.

This is going to be difficult.

Just when Xu Ming was at his wit's end, the headless witch seemed to have reached the final moment in accumulating power.

Black flames continuously erupted from the surface of the lava lake, and the lava beneath the headless witch began to turn black at a visible speed, spreading outwards like a virus.

This black is not the color of cooled magma, but something much darker and more sinister.

She's actually summoning the flames of the abyss!?

She was clearly blinded by hatred and had completely gone mad.

Xu Ming's expression gradually became serious.

A crazed enemy is the most difficult to deal with.

Because you have no idea what she'll do.

"Ha ha!"

The headless witch suddenly burst into wild laughter.

By this time, the blackened lava beneath her feet had expanded to several tens of meters, with black flames rolling across it as if it were alive.

"You all should die! Die!"

Accompanied by the headless witch's frantic screams.

The flames of the abyss beneath her feet boiled completely.

Black flames rose rapidly and then transformed into a black dragon nearly a hundred meters long, rushing towards the people in the temple!

Erina immediately spared no effort, condensing a thick lightning spear and throwing it at the black dragon.

However, the black dragon opened its mouth and swallowed the lightning spear whole.

Asagami Fujino's pupils flashed with a jewel-like light, and an invisible twisting force immediately met the black dragon.

A flash of red and green light streaked through the air, and a large chunk was instantly ripped out of the black dragon.
