You Ditched an R-Rank, Now That I’m an SSR, You Wanna Cry?-Chapter 25: Despair, it's time to change the players.

"Titan, you go first!"
"Blade God, protect us. I sense this Deep Sea King isn't simple."
"At least hold him off long enough for us to crush our teleport crystals."
Su Yun still didn't let her guard down, calmly arranging tactics.
She then looked toward Mo Shiyu, "Classmate Mo, you and your Contracted Spirit should use your teleport crystal to leave now. Facing a red-name BOSS, we likely won't be able to ensure your safety..."
Before she even finished speaking, the Deep Sea King covered his face and burst into laughter, "Thinking of running? No way! Today, you two young ladies must honor me with your company for dinner!"
He revealed a perverted grin, then his figure flashed as he unceremoniously launched the first attack!
The Titan Giant Beast immediately positioned itself in front of everyone.
Boom!
The Deep Sea King moved like a professional boxer, delivering a flashy punch to the Titan Giant Beast's waist with a crisp, loud impact!
The explosive force was immense. Despite the Titan Giant Beast's steel-like body and its set of three-star defense Inscriptions, it still couldn't fully defend. Its waist dented inward significantly, staggering back several steps.
The Deep Sea King shook his fist, his expression somewhat nonchalant, "So tough..."
Su Hang looked utterly shocked, "A normal punch actually damaged Titan? Su Yun, we need to go! This red-name BOSS is too powerful!"
Cold sweat beaded on Su Yun's small face, "I know. We can only retreat. Crush the teleport crystals!"
Without any hesitation, both crushed the teleport crystals in their hands.
However.
Nothing happened!
They remained right where they were, not leaving the secret realm!
Su Yun looked bewildered, "What's going on?"
Su Hang's voice began to tremble, "It seems... it seems we can't teleport!"
Su Yun gritted her teeth, "Try using more teleport crystals!"
Both frantically pulled out all the teleport crystals from their Contracted Spirit space, crushing them one by one.
"No reaction!"
"This one isn't working either!"
"How can this be?!"
"......"
Inside the secret realm, all the demonic creatures saw their panicked, anxious actions and couldn't help but laugh uproariously, their voices full of mockery:
"Trying to teleport away?"
"The space has already been sealed. How do you expect to leave?"
"You can only stay here!"
"Did you really think breaking into a secret realm would be so easy? You humans have escape routes, but did you think we demonic creatures wouldn't have countermeasures?!"
"......"
At that moment, Su Hang and Su Yun finally realized the severity of the situation!
Fear and despair instantly overwhelmed them!
We're done for!
Su Hang trembled like a leaf, his voice shaking, "I'm still so young! I'm still a virgin! I haven't even gotten a girlfriend yet! I don't want to die like this!"
Su Yun clenched her silver teeth, glaring fiercely at the Deep Sea King and the other demonic creatures:
"So pathetic!"
"It's just that we have no way out now, so we fight with everything we've got!"
"Titan!"
"Blade God!"
"We're counting on you!"
The Titan Giant Beast roared, the sound deafening!
Blade God also became more serious than ever before, drawing his long blade with a furious shout, "Oh!"
They truly had no other choice.
After learning the teleport crystals were unusable, Mo Shiyu didn't panic because she trusted in Xia Yuan's strength.
Xia Yuan's expression remained as lazy as usual, analyzing calmly:
"Even red-name BOSSes have evolved, actually using space-locking methods to counter human Spirit Tamers using teleport crystals."
"Indeed, the dungeon monsters and demonic creatures in this world are no simple matter..."
"But the probability of me encountering red-name BOSSes is just too high. There must be some reason for this. Could it really just be because I'm the protagonist?"
The Deep Sea King spread his arms wide, opening his embrace, his perverted gaze sweeping over Mo Shiyu and Su Yun:
"You two beautiful young ladies."
"Stop struggling and just submit to me, the Deep Sea King, won't you?"
"Sooner or later, I will conquer all you humans and become the supreme king who enslaves all of humanity!"
Blade God moved to protect Su Yun and Su Hang behind him. Though under immense pressure, he forcefully boosted morale and shouted:
"We haven't lost yet!"
"Big blue lizard, don't get too cocky! Your Blade Brother absolutely won't let you lay a hand on...!"
Before he could finish.
Whoosh!
The Deep Sea King's fist was already closing in on his big lion face, moving so fast the others couldn't even track it with their eyes.
Blade God's entire body tensed up instantly. His passive skill, Killing Intent Perception, allowed him to react in advance, raising his blade to block!
Boom!
However, he simply couldn't withstand it. He was sent flying by the punch, crashing against the air wall, coughing up a large mouthful of blood!
The Deep Sea King clenched his fist tightly, his face full of disdain, "Stinking lion, you talk too much!"
Su Hang: "Blade God!!!"
Only then did the Titan Giant Beast react, turning and grabbing the Deep Sea King with its massive arm.
It exerted all its strength, its palm making a "creaking" sound as it squeezed the Deep Sea King tightly, restraining him.
The other sea monster underlings saw this and wanted to charge forward.
But the Deep Sea King stopped them:
"Don't move!"
"They are my prey. You are not to disturb my enjoyment, or I'll kill you!"
Blade God, who had been sent flying earlier, endured his injuries and suddenly flashed next to the restrained Deep Sea King, assuming a blade-drawing stance!
"Opportunity!"
"Finishing move!"
"Lion Overlord Beheading Slash!"
He roared passionately, slashing his blade toward the Deep Sea King's head.
The next instant, the Titan's palm suddenly exploded, emitting thick smoke.
The Deep Sea King broke free from the restraint, his sharp claws flashing.
"Snap...!"
A crisp sound of a long blade breaking rang out.
Blade God and the Deep Sea King passed by each other.
The long blade in his hand broke into two pieces, and two huge gashes were sliced across his chest, blood gushing out!
Blade God roared in pain as he knelt on the ground, staring in disbelief at the broken blade in his hand, "How is this possible?! This is a four-star weapon my master drew for me! It actually... broke?"
He could no longer hold on, collapsing to the ground, "Damn it..."
In Su Hang's Contracted Spirit panel, Blade God was nearly at critical health. Despair filled his face as he held his head, "It's over, it's over! Blade God only has a sliver of health left! We can't win! This BOSS is too strong!"
Meanwhile, the Titan Giant Beast had one hand blown apart, its combat power greatly reduced.
Su Yun also hadn't expected their Contracted Spirits to be defeated so quickly, her small face pale as a sheet.
But her strong-willed nature wouldn't allow her to show weakness ahead of time. Gritting her teeth, she shouted:
"Titan, kill him!"
The Titan Giant Beast charged forward, launching a desperate collision toward the Deep Sea King!
Yet the Deep Sea King merely raised one hand, effortlessly blocking its assault, only stirring up a gust of wind.
He sneered, suddenly exerting force. His muscles bulged as he actually lifted the entire Titan Giant Beast, then hurled it away!
Su Yun stared blankly at this scene, no longer able to maintain her strength.
The sense of superiority and pride she had felt from drawing an A-rank powerful character vanished completely at this moment. Her beautiful eyes now held only utter despair...
As if drained of all energy, she slumped weakly to the ground, "It's over..."
The Deep Sea King slowly walked up to Su Yun, his tall, burly figure looming over her with overwhelming pressure, his face showing excitement:
"What I love most is seeing that look of despair in you human females!"
"It's absolutely wonderful!"
Su Yun tremblingly lifted her head, watching the terrifying Deep Sea King slowly approach. Immense fear enveloped her heart.
Her eyes were already welling up with tears from fear. The instinct to survive made her subconsciously call for help:
"Save..."
"Save me..."
"Someone..."
The Deep Sea King completely ignored a certain level 38 human Spirit Tamer, focusing only on Su Yun, savoring her fear, licking his lips as he slowly reached out his hand toward her:
"Hehehe... I'll take good care of you!"
A black figure suddenly appeared within Su Yun's tear-blurred vision.
Xia Yuan had, at some point, positioned himself between the two, hands in his pockets, completely at ease, his tone still as casual as ever:
"So then..."
"Is it time to switch players now?"
