The roar of the storm and the hiss of the blades seemed to be drowned out by the crackling of electricity and the heavy footsteps at this moment.
—The prelude to the end is beginning!

"Buyi~!"
Just as Luo Jiajun took heavy steps and moved forward with unwavering determination, a verdant figure, carrying the fresh scent of grass and trees, nimbly darted out from the broken walls and ruins beside him. It was none other than Ye Yibu.
The little guy's intelligent eyes were now fixed on the Terminator's body, which was covered in dark blue keratinous skin and crackling with restless electric arcs.
Despite the dramatic change in form, the familiarity emanating from the depths of his soul allowed Ye Yibu to instantly recognize his master's identity without the slightest hesitation.
Annerose has recovered her full strength and is engaged in a fierce battle with Storm Bear at the forefront. It is only natural that Yeebu followed the fluctuations of the battle and the familiar aura to track her here.
Luo Jiajun turned his head slightly, his eyes, glowing with a deep blue light, falling on Ye Yibu, who seemed hesitant and dared not approach rashly because of the crackling electric arcs around him.
In the blink of an eye, the restless, flashing electricity on Luo Jiajun's Terminator-form body was soothed by an invisible force, instantly subsiding and returning to silence.
“Hmm…!”
Ye Yibu immediately let out a light, reassuring chirp, and trotted a few steps to get closer to Luo Jiajun's tall, dark blue body.
A huge, powerful hand covered in a hard, pale blue keratin layer gently stroked Ye Yibu's soft, fluffy hair with a touch that subtly contrasted with its ferocious appearance.
Immediately afterwards, a deep, husky, metallic voice rang out from deep within Luo Jiajun's Terminator form's throat:
"Good boy, go with Rosemon and the others to find Rita, 2B and Rinko."
The moment he finished speaking, Luo Jiajun didn't hesitate for a second. He deftly took out the [Red Dewdrop Holy Grail Bottle] and a small bag containing [Senzu Beans] from his game inventory. Then, with a flick of his wrist, he accurately tossed it to Dreyer, who was waiting in ambush not far away.
The reason Luo Jiajun gave up both life-saving items was because he had a solid reliance on them. Although the "resurrection armor" triggered by the fatal injury in human form had been used up, he still had two powerful trump cards, "Alien Terminator" and "Scarlet Terminator", in Terminator form at this moment!
It's important to know that, according to the core characteristics of [Resident Evil 3], switching to either of these two forms for the first time during the transformation will immediately refresh the duration of the transformation and instantly restore all injuries and stamina, which is equivalent to a full-health rebirth!
After clearly instructing Dreyer and the others to search for their buried comrades, Luo Jiajun in his Terminator form silently lifted off the ground. His massive body seemed to break free from the constraints of gravity, rising like a silent ghost carrying chilling killing intent and leaping lightning. He began to speed towards the heart of the storm-ravaged battlefield not far away, where Annie Rose was engaged in a life-or-death struggle with the Storm Bear!
Just before plunging into the chaotic and violent energy storm, Luo Jiajun's gaze, glowing with an eerie blue light like the eye of an abyss, sharply swept over the approximate location of the orc leaders in the distance.
There, a translucent, pale blue energy barrier, emitting a soft glow, stood stubbornly amidst the ruins like an inverted giant bowl of light, sheltering the three orc leaders, Baine Bloodblood, Saldan, and Lorix Bloodblood.
The source of that light was the ancient staff, its tip gleaming with a jewel, tightly gripped in the hand of the orc High Priest Thralldan. Clearly, it was this boss-level mage who, at the crucial moment, cast a powerful protective spell, allowing them to survive the devastating impact just moments before.
However, the Blood Clan orc warriors who were further back and separated from the three orc bosses did not receive the same protection and almost all perished under the ravages of the storm and the ruins of the collapsed buildings.
...I had no time to spare for anything else.
The battle with Storm Bear Volir has reached its final stage, and Luo Jiajun has only one goal in mind at this moment—to completely destroy this legendary and terrifying behemoth!
With piercing eyes, he unhesitatingly propelled his Terminator body into the heart of the storm, where energy raged and smoke filled the air.
The sight before them was breathtaking: the Storm Bear's massive body, like a moving mountain, was several times larger than Luo Jiajun's three-meter-tall Terminator form. Meanwhile, the Iron Witch Annie Rose, now back to her peak form, was using her extraordinary agility and movement to move swiftly and agilely around the Storm Bear, her ominous demonic weapon, the "Vajra Yaksha," flickering like a venomous snake, constantly searching for the perfect opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.
Luo Jiajun knew perfectly well that he lacked Anne-Lorze's almost ghostly agility, so he did not choose to rush to the front and engage in a head-on confrontation with the Storm Bear.
He calmed his mind and mobilized the surging lightning power within his body. His thick and powerful right arm suddenly rose, and in his giant hand covered with a blue keratin layer and with five hook-like fingers, violent lightning rapidly gathered and condensed, and a spear made purely of destructive lightning energy, flashing with dazzling light, quickly took shape!
Just as Storm Bear and Annerose were about to collide again, Luo Jiajun suddenly threw the lightning gun, hitting one of Storm Bear's hands that was about to strike Annerose.
Under the scorching and paralyzing effects of the lightning, Storm Bear froze, and Annelos's attack, which was likely to be blocked, succeeded. She hovered in mid-air directly in front of Storm Bear's chest, drawing an arc with the Vajra Yaksha in her hand.
"Whoosh—!"
The demonic artifact, which was only a little over three feet long, unleashed a massive sword aura that stretched over three zhang (approximately 13 meters) in length with this slashing motion.
The crimson sword energy struck the storm bear's chest, instantly creating a long and terrifying wound.
The storm bear let out a miserable howl, lost its balance, and fell backward. But the beast seemed to sense the fluctuations of lightning element nearby, which were different from the wind element, and thus sensed Luo Jiajun's location. Before falling, it even kicked out with its foot, kicking up a large number of broken stone slabs from the collapsed building and smashing them towards Luo Jiajun.
Faced with this storm of rubble powerful enough to flatten steel, Luo Jiajun neither dodged nor avoided it! He suddenly crossed his arms in front of him, and the surging energy within him burst forth like a flood breaking through a dam!
In an instant, a solid, circular energy shield, shimmering with a light blue aura, formed in front of Luo Jiajun!
"Bang bang bang bang—!" Dense rain of pebbles crashed heavily against the energy shield, producing a series of muffled booms, but all of them were blocked and shattered by the shield's powerful defense, turning into dust and scattering, failing to shake Luo Jiajun in the slightest.
Seeing the Storm Bear crash to the ground, revealing a huge opening, Annerose's eyes suddenly turned incredibly sharp, her killing intent boiling over!
Her figure was like a falling crimson meteor, plunging down from the sky at an astonishing speed, her demonic sword aimed directly at the Storm Bear's vitals, intending to deliver the final, fatal blow to this behemoth!
However, the storm bear, lying on its back amidst the ruins and seemingly at its wit's end, suddenly opened its blood-red maw.
"Roar--!"
A sonic shockwave, condensed to the point of being tangible, burst forth suddenly, carrying with it the Storm Bear's final ferocity and despair!
This precise and deadly blow struck Annerose, who was in mid-air with nowhere to gain leverage and no way to dodge effectively!
Anne Lorze was suddenly struck hard, like a kite that was about to fall vertically to the ground, suddenly blown up by a gust of wind and its string snapped. She was thus thrown out of control and flew into the sky again. In a state of confusion and disorientation, she soon fell down again.
However, Luo Jiajun did not choose to stage a "hero saves the beauty" scene at this moment.
Almost at the same instant the Storm Bear's Roar struck Annerose, he clenched his fists together in front of his chest! The raging currents within his body, as if summoned, converged and compressed wildly towards his palms. A dazzling ball of lightning, churning with internal plasma and radiating a chilling aura of destruction, rapidly took shape and expanded before the naked eye!
This powerful control over lightning is largely due to the special ability he initially gained through the Bond Badge—[Aberration Imprint]!
This special ability not only allows Luo Jiajun to unleash lightning as freely as a Terminator in his normal state, but also greatly enhances and amplifies the power of lightning in Terminator form!
Otherwise, relying solely on the original Terminator's limited lightning damage would be like scratching an itch through a boot when facing a legendary behemoth like the Storm Bear, posing little real threat.
Although the Storm Bear successfully countered Annerose's pursuit with its final roar, it was already at its limit and had no strength left to deal with Luo Jiajun's thunderous attack that was about to be launched!
At this moment, it lies on its back, not in a straight line of fire, so its head is not the optimal target. (The rest of the text appears to be gibberish and unrelated to the preceding sentence.)
Luo Jiajun did not expect to kill the bear with one blow. His tactical objective was clear and ruthless—to target Storm Bear's already battered hind limb, which had been repeatedly injured in previous battles!
"Swoosh—Boom!"
The lightning ball flew out of his hand, transforming into a dazzling blue-white bolt of lightning that tore through the air and struck the Storm Bear's massive hind paw with unparalleled precision!
“Ah ...
In an instant, a piercing, distorted scream, like the final lament of a dying beast, echoed throughout the ruined battlefield!
The Storm Bear's already severely damaged hind limbs, under the frenzied onslaught of the violent lightning energy and internal destruction, completely lost all sensation and function, turning into a pile of charred, rotten flesh!
At this point, Storm Bear was not only blinded, its eyes now a terrifying bloodbath, its once-proud claws mostly broken off, and its chest ripped open by Annerose's demonic sword with a deep, bone-revealing wound, but now, with Luo Jiajun crippling its leg, it had truly reached the end of its life, a veritable spent force!
At the same time, Annerose, who was falling out of control, suddenly burst out with a strong dark red magical energy, like burning blood flames!
The powerful magic forcefully reversed the laws of physics, abruptly halting her descent. It was as if an invisible hand was steadily supporting her, and finally, her feet landed lightly back on the pebbly ground.
However, enduring the roaring impact of the storm bear and forcibly activating her magic to stabilize herself clearly came at a great cost. As soon as she landed, she couldn't help but let out a muffled groan, her delicate brows furrowed, one slender hand tightly clutching her violently heaving chest, her cherry lips slightly parted, and a streak of glaring crimson blood uncontrollably spilled from the corner of her mouth.
"Keep an eye on those orcs over there for me." Luo Jiajun's deep, hoarse voice, like the scraping of metal, accompanied by the whistling sound of the wind generated by his Terminator-like body moving at high speed, swept past Annerose.
Without pausing, his suspended body continued to approach the Storm Bear, which lay sprawled in the ruins, howling in despair, at an astonishing speed.
This was the first time Anne-Lorze had seen Luo Jiajun in his Terminator form. But this steel witch, with her extraordinary strength and somewhat mythical background, possessed exceptionally sharp intuition. Without even thinking, she instantly judged, purely by feeling, that the blue, electrifying monster speaking to her was Luo Jiajun in disguise.
"Tch...you wretched fellow, ordering me around again!"
Anne-Louise gritted her teeth, looking displeased at Luo Jiajun's instructions. But Luo Jiajun, who was moving quickly ahead, had already put some distance between them.
Faced with the choice between following Luo Jiajun to kill the Storm Bear and keeping an eye on the orcs for him, she hesitated briefly before finally making her choice. She verbally expressed her dissatisfaction with Luo Jiajun, but in practice, she followed his instructions and began monitoring the orcs' movements.
Of course, if Luo Jiajun falls behind in the fight against Storm Bear, she will still intervene when necessary. However, this possibility is extremely slim. With her extensive combat experience, Anne-Lorze had already realized that Storm Bear was at its last gasp.
Although this beast had acted more ferociously than ever before, its suppressive power was actually far less terrifying than when it dealt with Luo Jiajun and the others at the start of the battle. This was one of the reasons why Annerose was able to fight the Storm Bear single-handedly.
……
Luo Jiajun's speed in his Terminator form was extremely fast, and in just a few breaths, he had already reached the Storm Bear.
He skillfully adjusted his position, circled around to the side of the Storm Bear, avoiding its only remaining foot that could still twitch unconsciously, and aimed the final blow at the Storm Bear's already severely damaged head—this was the absolute key to completely ending the life of this legendary behemoth!
The Storm Bear's current predicament is far more dire than simply losing a leg. The successive devastating blows it has suffered have pushed it to the brink of utter annihilation.
Let alone standing upright again and displaying its earth-shattering power, even managing to sit up from its supine position is an unattainable dream for it.
However, this dying behemoth was more tenacious than anyone could imagine! It was still able to sense, with its remaining instincts, the intense lightning fluctuations in Luo Jiajun's Terminator form, which carried a destructive aura and were gradually approaching its side!
Thus, under the shadow of death, the dying giant bear, its eyes now gaping holes of blood, made a final struggle, rolling its body across the ruins and hurtling towards Luo Jiajun.
It attempted to crush a Terminator that was less than a third its size with its massive, heavy body.
"Boom... Boom..." The incredibly heavy body rolled over the broken bricks and concrete blocks, producing a dull and heart-pounding roar, and the ground trembled slightly in response.
At this moment, Luo Jiajun was gathering another lightning ball containing destructive power in his palm.
Seeing the Storm Bear rolling and crushing towards him in such a slow, clumsy yet desperate manner, the eerie blue light in his eyes suddenly flickered. Instead of retreating to avoid it, he stepped forward to meet the mountain-like shadow! The lightning ball that was about to form in his palm instantly dissipated, transforming into two even more dazzling and violent torrents of blue-white lightning, like living serpents, coiling and covering a pair of huge metal claws!
Between the ten sharp claws, countless tiny, leaping arcs of electricity spun like a woven web of death, emitting a continuous, chilling hiss that spurted out terrifying destructive power!
next moment--
"boom!!!"
A deafening, muffled thud! The Storm Bear's massive, mountain-like body, carrying the last vestiges of its madness and resentment, slammed solidly and without any frills onto Luo Jiajun's Terminator form!
However, just a few breaths later, the dying bear seemed to have been pressed against a red-hot iron, squeezing out a weak, hoarse howl from deep in its throat, filled with endless pain and disbelief!
"Sizzle—crack!"
Blindingly intense bolts of lightning suddenly erupted from every crevice and wound on the Storm Bear's massive body! Instantly illuminating the dim ruins! Violent currents surged and wreaked havoc within its body!
Then came the horrifying sounds of flesh being forcibly torn apart and bones being snapped!
"Roar--!"
A thunderous roar, filled with the meaning of ending and declaration, suddenly erupted from beneath the Storm Bear's body!
A burly figure, covered in scalding bear blood and stained with fragments of internal organs, used his massive claws crackling with violent arcs of electricity to tear a huge gash through the Storm Bear's thick, tough chest, bursting forth with unparalleled power and killing intent!
Thick blood dripped from those giant claws, which now resembled hellish weapons, while blue-white arcs of destructive electricity continued to leap and flash wildly, crackling as they announced death!
With his muscles weakened and unable to mobilize the power of the storm to exert pressure when he was critically injured and on the verge of death, Storm Bear's attempt to crush Luo Jiajun in his Terminator form with sheer weight was ultimately wishful thinking.
After all, although its size is huge, it is only about ten meters tall, more than three times the size of Luo Jiajun's Terminator form, rather than an insurmountable gap of thirty or three hundred times.
The earth-shattering roar that Luo Jiajun unleashed in his Terminator form was like tolling the final death knell for the legendary behemoth, Storm Bear Volir, announcing the complete end of its long and violent life.
At the same time, Luo Jiajun finally received the kill notification:
[You have successfully defeated the high-value target – Storm Bear Volir, and have received the following rewards: 1000 Summoning Points, 1 Legendary Summoning Card, and 1 Legendary Skill Pack]
[Legendary Summoning Card: After use, the next summoned character will always be "Legendary" and will come with a special reward related to the summoned character.]
[Legendary Skill Pack: Upon use, you will randomly gain a powerful "Legendary" special ability.]

The cold moonlight fell on the broken walls and ruins, coating the deathly silent ruins with a bleak silver-gray.
The night wind howled through the twisted steel bars and broken concrete, stirring up fine dust like the whispers of the dead. The air was thick with the stench of blood, the acrid smell of burnt ozone, and…
The still-present, ferocious aura emanating from the massive corpse of Storm Bear Voliril!
On this battlefield shrouded in death, the most striking light source was the shimmering blue magical barrier in front of the orc priest Thralldan.
A pale blue halo illuminated the old orc's face, etched with the marks of time. His cloudy, weathered eyes were fixed intently on the chilling presence standing atop the Storm Bear's corpse not far away.
"It's unbelievable!"
“Volir…”
"They were actually killed."
The elderly orc priest spoke with a mixture of shock and apprehension towards the azure monster.
Beside the orc priest Saldan, the young Lorix Bloodblood remained silent, deeply aware of the disparity in their abilities. Even his father, the Great Chieftain who ruled the entire orc race—Baine Bloodblood—was silent at this moment, not uttering a word.
The chieftain, who had previously vowed to personally kill Storm Bear to avenge his brother and never allow the honor of hunting Storm Bear to be taken away, was already shocked when Yukikaze of Water City knocked down Storm Bear with a single blow. The subsequent appearance of Annieros and the Terminator further stunned him, leaving him frozen in place.
As a seasoned top-tier warrior, Baine Bloodblood could clearly see that if he, Lorix, and Saldan were to fight Volir, the outcome would be far less favorable than with Luo Jiajun and his group. The ending might even be… all three of them dying at Volir's hands! Following in the footsteps of his brother, Keane Bloodblood! [The rest of the text appears to be nonsensical and unrelated to the previous sentences.]
"Father, what should we do next?" Lorick suddenly asked Bain.
Bain Blood remained silent.
Saldan's gaze swept over the Warchief's ashen face. The elderly shaman immediately saw the deep resentment in the heart of the Warchief beside him.
This resentment wasn't simply about the glory of the hunt being taken away. It also included a sense of shame and anger, knowing that if it were up to them, the result would certainly be worse.
"Ugh……"
