Chapter 362: Evil God Descends
The members of [Chaos Sage] each activated their abilities for a fierce assault. Seeing Mercenary Tao's body chopped into pieces, [Zhou Si] relaxed slightly. Using the [Thunder Eyes], a powerful nature ARM, consumed a considerable amount of energy.
He turned around and saw flying limbs, knowing [Archimedes]'s magic had taken effect.
While retreating to open distance, he began changing the ARMs on his body. That Mercenary Tao possessed some kind of immortality and super-speed regeneration was already known intelligence.
But they weren't unfamiliar with Reincarnators of such bloodlines. So-called immortality and regeneration abilities were difficult for low-level Reincarnators to deal with.
However, in the eyes of high-tier Reincarnators and powerful plot characters, it was nothing special.
The darkness ARM [Caged Bird] appeared on his finger. For guys with a certain degree of immortality, besides bombarding them head-on with abilities of massive magnitude, restricting their mobility and keeping them in a continuous state of death was most convenient.
Just as he was about to activate it, a sudden chill appeared.
It was his combat intuition honed through life and death. He instinctively tapped his toes, retreating hundreds of meters explosively, while shouting a warning loudly:
"Careful! Mercenary Tao is..."
"Get back, everyone! There's something wrong with his arm! My magic didn't take effect!"
Archimedes' shout was far more urgent and nervous than Zhou Si's.
Holding that +7 grade naginata, Archimedes slashed again violently. The air and earth split open instantly into a thousand-meter ravine. The earth was as fragile as clay before him.
He watched Mercenary Tao's limbs fall into the ravine, especially that intact left arm!
Archimedes' magic was named [Railseiden (Magic That Cuts Almost Anything)], from the Frieren: Beyond Journey's End world.
This magic was quite terrifying, capable of cutting anything the user believed they could cut.
It was a powerful spell typically possessing idealistic traits.
To implement this ability to the extreme, Archimedes specially changed his personality and cognition under [Sage]'s ability, becoming extremely arrogant.
The magic system of the Frieren world was rooted in the imagination of mages, or rather a kind of 'observational power.' Mages must be able to imagine the effect of their magic to implement it.
Archimedes could imagine the scene of himself cutting open the earth. Therefore, whether it was one hundred meters, one thousand meters, or several thousand meters of earth, with one swing of his blade and eruption of magic power, it would all be cut open like butter.
No matter how hard Mercenary Tao's Armament Haki and body were, as long as he could imagine the scene of chopping the opponent's body, he could cut it.
With this magic, even [Nanaya Assassination Arts], a C+ grade assassination art, would erupt with terrifying lethality.
But after using this magic this time, Archimedes found his imagination deviated from reality.
Mercenary Tao was indeed cut open by him; internal organs and bones were completely severed, blood spraying.
But in Archimedes' imagination, he should have cut the opponent into thousands of pieces of minced meat, then quickly depleted the opponent's regenerative power with incineration abilities.
In reality, he only cut him into dozens of pieces. That arm... couldn't be cut at all.
His magic hit that left arm, and nothing happened.
A special biological armor ignoring magic?!
Archimedes and Zhou Si's warnings made [Red Queen] and [Indra] retreat instantly with alertness. [Left Eye], revealing only one eye, closed her eye, holding her breath and pressing on her sword.
Her whole person seemed to enter a state of dead silence, her aura disappearing completely.
Sizzle!
Thunder Eyes activated again. Lightning bolts from the sky fell into the ravine one by one. Zhou Si began continuous bombardment suppression.
The red-haired boy Indra also began to change his form. His hair started growing longer, and his body expanded bit by bit.
The members of Chaos Sage were all veteran Reincarnators with very rich experience, responding with tacit understanding.
Boom!
Inside the huge ravine, intense Conqueror's Haki erupted轰然.
Sweeping the surroundings like a storm.
That momentum was extremely astonishing. Red Queen bore the brunt of it. She pressed her hands against the purple-red shield, hiding her body behind it, constantly chanting prayers, adding blessings to herself one by one.
Her body was constantly strengthened, various barriers added.
Suddenly, a crimson left hand extended from the ravine. That arm was so thick it didn't look human; muscles exploded inch by inch, veins twisting and appearing like large snakes.
Pfft!
As that hand emerged from the ground, the terrifying Conqueror's Haki impacted even more strongly. Red Queen's hair scattered, but she stared ahead with a solemn expression.
Her highest attribute was Constitution, breaking 60 points with efficiency support. It wasn't outstanding among Reincarnators of their level, but Red Queen was a Paladin. With the support of various divine arts, her other three attributes could all approach 40 points.
She was a defense-specialized Reincarnator with no weaknesses.
"Careful, Red Queen. This guy is a bit wrong..."
Zhou Si's magic power consumption was severe. Smoke began to rise from the Thunder Emperor's Eye. That degree of lightning strike was enough to completely kill the activity of some so-called immortal bodies.
But it seemed completely useless against Mercenary Tao.
Bang!
Amidst a huge sound, that left hand pulled hard. A huge body exceeding three meters flew up轰然 and smashed onto the ground.
Crimson luster, whether Qi or Hado, completely surrounded this body and became more and more intense. In moments, Mercenary Tao's eerie figure was completely invisible.
Replaced by an even larger crimson monster. Visible malice sprayed continuously towards the surroundings.
Around that phantom, red lightning flickered faintly, crackling constantly.
This was...
Red Queen looked at that lightning, about to analyze, but saw a crimson gaze meet hers from within that phantom.
Pfft~
Her chest felt tight, and blood flowed instantly from her mouth and nose.
[You encountered the influence of Omen of the Evil God. Based on your Spirit attribute, you can obtain the following information:]
[You are affected by Omen of the Evil God · Gaze of Pride. Strength Check in progress.]
[Check failed. You suffered a Strength impact.]
Omen of the Evil God... Is this Mercenary Tao's trump card? Gaze of Pride... Strength Check... Is Mercenary Tao a Reincarnator with limit-breaking Strength...
Red Queen had a powerful constitution. She just wiped the blood, but in the next moment, she realized something was wrong and turned to look at the others.
She saw Zhou Si standing hundreds of meters behind her burst with blood all over, slowly falling backward.
And Left Eye, holding her breath in Iaido stance, also sprayed blood from her mouth and nose, teetering.
Archimedes flying in the air blocked with his hands in front of him, only falling down a bit without injury. Indra, whose body had fully grown to 1.9 meters, was also bleeding all over.
Just one gaze almost severely injured their entire squad?!
What ability was this?!
"Cover them, Red Queen! This ability is linked to the Strength value. Protect Zhou Si and Left Eye!"
Archimedes shouted loudly, leaping high from the air, raising the large blade again.
The crimson gaze was cast again. Red Queen was startled. Could this [Gaze of Pride] be used continuously?!
[Cover]!
She subconsciously activated her ability, about to fly in front of Zhou Si and Left Eye to share the damage for them.
But in the next moment, a peculiar mental force crashed into her consciousness sea.
In her trance, she saw an extremely handsome face. She couldn't see the details clearly, but an intense joy and pleasure surged within her body to the extreme.
Her movements paused accordingly.
Pfft!
Zhou Si's body burst with blood with a bang. His fragile body could no longer resist the impact of the second Gaze of Pride. All blood vessels in his body exploded instantly, and his body went limp.
In his disbelief, Left Eye, who should have drawn her sword to cover him, and Red Queen, who should have protected him while casting spells, both stood frozen in place with flushed faces.
What a joke... Damn it, hit by Mercenary Tao's special ability... Damn, this guy... so strong...
Consciousness fell into darkness. The Cursed Type darkness ARM [Caged Bird] on Zhou Si's finger also fell off weakly. The user died before having time to activate it.
