Chapter 18: Final Boss_2

He took out a bottle of golden liquid from the Storage Ring and handed it to Zhou Yuan, "Got a weapon? This is Holy Symbol Water blessed by high monks, capable of applying permanent enchantments to weapons, specialized for targeting spectral beings and ghosts."

Permanent enchantments?

Zhou Yuan took the bottle in surprise, and after seeing the detailed information that popped up from the Eyes of Identification, he could only admire the work of the federal officials.

[Name: Enchanted Holy Water]

[Quality: Fine]

[Special Effect: Applies a permanent enchantment to an item, adds holy attributes, causing triple damage to spectral beings and ghosts.]

[Note: May Holy Light protect you.]

[Price: 500 Star Coins]

Triple!

Triple the damage!!

The "Demon-Breaking Bullet" of the Steel Rose was already extraordinarily effective against spectral beings and ghosts, but with triple the damage... Tsk tsk.

The next second, Zhou Yuan took out the Steel Rose out of thin air.

Jiang Wuming glanced at it a few times, "What special abilities does this revolver have?"

"It can fire some bullets with special effects."

Zhou Yuan bit open the stopper and poured the golden Holy Water onto the Steel Rose.

Amazingly, as soon as it touched the Steel Rose, the Holy Water seemed to be absorbed, without a single drop spilling, and the Steel Rose lit up with a faint golden glow.

A system prompt immediately popped up.

[Enchantment Successful!]

[All bullets fired will have holy attributes, causing triple damage to spiritual bodies.]

"Enough, enough, save some of it," Jiang Wuming quickly raised the bottle.

"It can be used multiple times?" Zhou Yuan was astonished.

"Nonsense! Who told you it could only be used once?" Jiang Wuming said with a pained face, "This bottle is worth three million, don't waste it."

Three million...

The first thought in Zhou Yuan's mind was: Damn! A three-million-dollar item only sells for 500 Star Coins in the system, isn't that a rip-off?

The second thought was: Real-world items and in-store items are different, like this liquid Enchanted Holy Water, it can be used multiple times, whereas similar in-store items can only be used once.

"You keep it, it can probably be used once more." Jiang Wuming was generous, directly giving the item to Zhou Yuan as a gesture of goodwill.

"Thanks," Zhou Yuan said, unceremoniously storing the remaining one-third of the Holy Water.

"Let's disclose more about our abilities to each other, so we can better coordinate later," Zhou Yuan suggested.

Jiang Wuming said, "My ability is [Gravity Ring], which can create a gravitational circle within a 30-meter radius, with a maximum diameter of 2 meters, and the maximum gravity I can apply is twenty times the normal."

"My ability is [Bubble Gum], it can generate bubble gum inside a target's body, blocking the respiratory system, and it's effective against spectral beings and ghosts. Besides that, it can also act as a shield."

"I can naturally ignite fire, control flames."

I'm still not an extraordinary person, don't have Aoneng power... Zhou Yuan silently added in his mind, keeping a straight face: "I can temporarily enter a ghostly state, avoiding physical collisions."

This was actually the skill [Ghost Walker].

After completing the information exchange and battle preparations, it was time to face the boss.

"Our main objective is to clear the project, so don't engage the enemy more than necessary, take the chance to leave if you can, understand? I will hold off the enemy to buy you time," Jiang Wuming said solemnly to the group.

"Understood," the group nodded.

Fully armed, they walked out, the first thing they saw was a clown dressed in a red costume who was standing still in the middle of the corridor, holding a bunch of pale balloons in its hand.

Behind it was the exit gate of the maze.

The clown had a head of rainbow-colored, fluffy hair, a pale face painted like a dead person. Its mouth was permanently fixed in an exaggerated and twisted smile, revealing sharp fangs, with lips painted a blood-red shade stretching back to its ears.

It chuckled ominously, its eerie gaze fixated on them, sending shivers down everyone's spine.

Looking at those balloons, they were all pale heads of the dead, each with a mouth curved into a sinister smile.

[Once, it was the most popular clown in the amusement park, bringing joy and laughter to countless people, but after the park became twisted, it became violent, bloodthirsty, turning into a horror clown that brings pain and despair.

You might wonder why you haven't encountered monsters on the final stretch of your journey, now, the answer is right in front of you—the monsters have all been turned into balloon heads by it.

Do not try to kill it, it has merged with the park, it is undying.]

```

"Giggle giggle giggle giggle giggle giggle..."

Suddenly, the clown let out a sinister laugh, excited as though it had seen a new toy.

Bang!

A gunshot rang out, and a bullet pierced through the clown's head, causing a spray of colourful liquid.

Thump.

The clown fell straight backward, and the bunch of balloon heads slipped from his grasp, floating upward.

"Laughing at your mom?"

Zhou Yuan followed up with another shot. Both bullets were normal revolver rounds, and after firing, there were four bullets left in the chamber: a "paralysis bullet," a "demon-breaking bullet," and two "explosive bullets"—all of which he had made the day before.

Bang bang bang bang bang!

Jiang Wuming and the other two investigators pulled out automatic rifles and began firing at the clown in turns, cautiously moving toward the exit door.

The bullets and firearms they used had been enchanted and illuminated, giving them the ability to effectively kill ghosts and goblins. Even against aberrant creatures of the red-dress level, they could still suppress them somewhat.

After firing off a magazine, one of the investigators immediately pulled out a grenade launcher and pulled the trigger, blasting it toward the clown.

Accompanied by a loud boom and rising flames, the clown's body was blown apart, skin ripping, and flesh tearing open.

Its blood was not red but rather like a knocked over paint bucket, colorful and bizarre, with even the splattered blood being colored liquid—emphasizing the absurd and eerie atmosphere.

Seizing the perfect opportunity, Zhou Yuan and the others sprinted towards the exit door at full speed.

Just then, a balloon head floated towards the group.

[The explosive power of these balloon heads is equivalent to that of a bomb, and like ordinary balloons, they are highly explosive.]

Zhou Yuan was about to warn his teammates when Jiang Wuming, quick on the uptake, raised his gun and shot at the balloon head.

Boom!

The balloon head instantly burst into numerous pieces of flesh, releasing a terrifying shockwave, and a tumult of dust and airwaves swept over them forcefully.

"Damn!" Jiang Wuming only had time to exclaim before the blast flung him away.

"!!!"

Zhou Yuan and the other two investigators were also caught off guard and were blown away by the exploding balloon head. Fortunately, all of them were more physically resilient than normal people and did not sustain much damage, quickly scrambling up from the ground.

However, with their firepower suppressed, the clown's grotesquely mutilated body regenerated at a visible rate, almost instantaneously recovering to its original state, even its clothing was restored.

"Giggle giggle giggle..."

The clown sneered, mocking their presumption.

"Giggle giggle giggle... Cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough... Heh heh...…"

Suddenly, the clown's laughter turned into painful coughing sounds, as if something thick was stuck in its throat.

Then, the thick substance seemed to block the clown's windpipe, making it difficult to breathe, and it could only inhale with difficulty, making a "heh heh heh" sound, as if it were about to suffocate.

The investigator with the Aoneng Power of "Bubblegum" took action.

Taking advantage of the clown's immobilization, Zhou Yuan and the others bolted at full speed, racing forward as fast as lightning.

Dozens of balloon heads floating in the air gathered around, their pallid dead faces wearing sinister smiles, chilling to the bone.

Boom!

Another investigator activated his ability.

Red flames blazed, forming a scorching fire wall, burning fiercely, attempting to keep the balloon heads at bay. However, the dead heads showed no sign of slowing, and they crashed into the fire wall, seemingly unaffected by the flames.

Boom! Boom! Boom!!!

All dozen balloon heads exploded at once, unleashing a deafening blast that shook the entire maze, as if engulfed by the terrifying force of a volcanic eruption.

At the critical moment, a huge pink bubble enveloped Zhou Yuan and his team, and with the boost from the explosion, they raced toward the exit door at high speed.

This was their escape route!

But just as they were mere meters from the exit door,

the red-dress clown suddenly appeared without warning, blocking the doorway with a malicious and sinister smile filled with malice.

Zhou Yuan's peripheral vision caught sight of another clown, lying on the ground, choking itself with both hands, unable to breathe.

Could it split its body?
