Ke Xue exorcists demons and starts with immobilization

"Repeat the same mistakes? That's not necessarily true!"

Martial arts fanatic Ran said proudly, "Sonoko's marriage suggestion is very good. My strength has increased again."

"Moreover, you cannot summon reinforcements here. Today, you will surely become my defeated foe!"

Marriage... Increased strength... 120 million HP...

Chu felt a chill in his heart.

According to Xiaolan, the martial arts fanatic, the 120 million HP isn't a field feature, but a permanent enhancement?!

Who could have predicted that marriage would actually enhance the strength of the martial arts fanatic, Xiaolan?

What a terrible marriage! It turned a young girl into a fierce young woman!!!

Even more fatal is that the on-site challenge condition is a one-on-one duel, and chocolate summons cannot be used!

Chu Zhong's strategy of stacking poison, which he considered his trump card, was completely useless.

Is this the only way to fight left—a head-on confrontation...?

"Have you forgotten my weapon?!"

Seeing that soft tactics weren't working, Chu Zhong had no choice but to resort to hard tactics, threatening, "You should know that I've been lenient with you before."

"Once I unleash my full power and unlock my weapon to its limit at its weak point, I can kill you with a single blow."

This move is the trump card among Chu Zhong's trump cards, and he doesn't want to use it unless absolutely necessary.

I'm only telling you this to scare the martial arts fanatic Xiaolan.

Having gained experience in the Detective Conan arc,

Chu Zhong didn't want to kill her and wipe out the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan's memories... After all, they had shared many memories in the dungeon, and she was his mentor.

"...Even dying in battle is better than surrendering!"

Martial arts fanatic Ran hesitated for only two seconds before adopting an unyielding attitude, "Besides, Sonoko said that making the other person shout 'I want to die' is the ultimate secret to a happy marriage!"

Chu Zhong:......

I seriously doubt once again that this is what Sonoko meant.

And what strange premarital knowledge did Sonoko in the other instance instill in the martial arts fanatic Ran?!

"Let's fight!"

Martial arts fanatic Xiaolan caught up once again.

So far,

Chu Zhong sighed helplessly and stood down next to the piano on site.

"Why...did you stop running?"

Martial arts fanatic Xiaolan stopped three meters away, looking wary.

"You should know why, right?" Chu Zhong asked rhetorically.

Martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan gritted her teeth: "You're planning to use... again?"

“That’s right,” Chu Zhong nodded. “So, you’re planning to surrender?”

Martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan snorted coldly and launched an attack; the answer was self-evident.

Chu Zhong didn't rush to use the immobilization spell. Instead, he used the piano as an obstacle and circled around the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan.

After circling the piano once, Xiao Lan, who was obsessed with martial arts, became impatient and raised her foot to kick it over.

Chu Zhong seized the opportunity, and golden light spilled from between his fingers:

"Certainly!"

Then a series of scattered piano sounds began.

While the martial arts fanatic Xiaolan was still standing on one leg, Chu Zhong gave her a strong push, making her sit on the piano keys with her back against the piano stand.

Current mana: 105

Chu Zhong quickly summoned the "Willow Stick," but was unable to launch an attack immediately.

This is because Xiao Lan, who is obsessed with martial arts, not only has increased health, but her wedding dress armor is also not just for show. Layer upon layer of barriers protect her every weakness.

The protective gear also has steel wire supports and protective structures inside. Just equipping it takes a lot of effort, and it's definitely too late to remove the entire protective gear in a short time.

Chu Zhong regretted choosing a wedding dress, but unfortunately, she couldn't change it at the last minute.

The 10-second immobilization period ended quickly.

Chu Zhongcai had barely managed to shift some of his armor, and hadn't even had time to prepare for battle.

Having regained her mobility, the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan didn't waste any words and threw a straight punch.

Fortunately, just as the golden light was about to dissipate, Chu Zhong promptly refilled the cup:

"Certainly!"

Xiao Lan, the martial arts fanatic, once again froze in her attack.

Current mana: 85

Next, we should use what Xiaolan, the martial arts fanatic, calls a 'cannibalistic' fighting style to further weaken their basic defenses and resistances...

Even using the rapid-fire mode in Chapter 33, she couldn't outmatch Eri Kisaki.

The second immobilization period has ended.

Chu Zhong did not attempt to refill the cup at the last minute, but instead allowed the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan to regain her mobility.

"Watch... this move..."

Martial arts fanatic Xiaolan raised her hand to counterattack, but her punch, which had only been halfway through, suddenly stopped.

It wasn't that Chu Zhong used the immobilization technique again, but rather that the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan spontaneously withdrew her fist and clutched her heart.

"My heart is beating faster and faster... What did you do?!"

The confusion in Xiaolan's eyes grew stronger.

It's normal to have a racing heart during intense fighting.

But now, just looking at her was enough to make her heart flutter.

"Just testing something..."

Chu Zhong casually offered an explanation.

After leveling up the Immobilization skill to the maximum level, Chu Zhong discovered that there were three damage-addition modes to choose from.

The first type is the [Damage Delay] mode, which means that damage caused during the immobilization period will take effect at the original attack frequency after the immobilization is lifted.

For example, during the immobilization period, Chu Zhong attacked the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan once per second for ten seconds.

After the immobilization ends, the martial arts fanatic Xiaolan will be attacked once per second for the next ten seconds.

The 'damage delay' mode is the basic mode in which damage is applied before the immobilization spell is fully upgraded.

The second type is the [Instant Burst] mode, which Chu Zhong tested in the Kogoro dungeon.

In this mode, all damage inflicted during the immobilization period will accumulate and be combined into a single strike the moment the immobilization ends, resulting in high-intensity burst damage.

In this situation, even if Chu Zhong's base attack power is low, he can easily break through the defense of the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan and cause considerable damage.

But Chu Zhong did not do that.

First, Xiao Lan, who is obsessed with martial arts, now has a full 120 million HP, while the immobilization spell is limited by her mana and can only be used a few times.

Secondly, Chu Zhong clearly understands the location of the weakness. The next thing to consider is not breaking through the defense, but to deal damage more continuously and efficiently!

Therefore, the last option was chosen:

——【High-Speed ​​Impact】

In this mode, all attack counts will be accumulated during the immobilization period, and the effects will take effect quickly within a short time after the immobilization ends.

For example, during the 10 seconds that Chu Zhong was immobilized, he launched 30 attacks on the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan.

When the immobilization ends, the accumulated 30 attacks will be rapidly unleashed within 1 second.

If 'burst damage' is suitable for dealing damage...

Therefore, 'Super Speed ​​Impact' is suitable for applying status effects, such as stacking poison, or the preparations Chu Zhong made during the second immobilization period.

"hateful……"

Xiao Lan, a martial arts fanatic, bit her lip, as if she was enduring something.

This pleased Chu Zhong, who had been observing carefully.

In the ten seconds that he was immobilized, he used his previous combat experience to try to further weaken the foundation of the martial arts fanatic Xiaolan.

In 'Overspeed Impact' mode, the effects accumulated over ten seconds take effect rapidly after the immobilization ends.

At this moment, Xiao Lan, the martial arts fanatic, clutched her heart, her legs together, and her body slightly curled up—an uncontrollable defensive posture.

"Don't think you can get away with such petty tricks..."

As a martial arts fanatic, Xiao Lan was at least a demon king-level being. She adapted in just two seconds and switched from a defensive stance back to an offensive one.

"Certainly!"

Chu Zhong had made preparations long ago.

Current mana: 60

There is no time to lose; the defenses have been weakened, and we must launch an attack immediately!

Ten seconds later,

The 30 attacks Chu Zhong unleashed during the immobilization period took effect rapidly at the weakest points of defense.

"You... hateful..."

Xiao Lan, who had been freed from the immobilization, raised her hand to counterattack, but was immediately locked down by the terrifying speed of 30 strikes per second.

-138, -156, -127...

-141, -135, -152...

A series of densely packed damage numbers appeared almost simultaneously.

Immediately afterwards, several negative status effects appeared below the health bar of the martial arts fanatic Xiaolan: Weakness Lv1, Vulnerability Lv1, Confusion Lv1

Weakness Lv1: Temporary muscle weakness caused by muscle tension, reducing movement speed by 2% and attack power by 3%.

Vulnerability Lv1: Increased body temperature leads to increased vulnerability to attacks, reduces defense by 5%, and reduces critical hit resistance by 5%.

Chaos Lv1: After a brief period of heightened excitement, concentration decreases and attack speed is reduced by 5%.

Chu Zhong finally showed a relieved smile: Just as expected!

Even though the martial arts fanatic Xiaolan is a demon king-level BOSS with terrifying health,

However, if the defense is not in place and a weak point is hit, it will still be affected.

Logically speaking, a Demon King-level BOSS should have considerable resistance to various negative status effects.

However, Chu Zhong had a stun technique that allowed him to unleash 30 attacks that directly targeted the opponent's weak points in just one second, instantly inflicting negative status effects.

"My power... is starting to... drain away again..."

Xiao Lan, a martial arts fanatic, gritted her teeth and clenched her fists.

Chu Zhong raised his hand again: "Freeze!"

Current mana: 35

Negative situations will dissipate over time, so we must seize the opportunity and press our advantage!

Another ten seconds passed.

Chu Zhong had entered an attack rhythm, each swing of his weapon as smooth as silk, and this time he had delivered a total of 35 attacks.
