Chapter 363: Unable to Win Even With Full Strength
[Team member GF56624133 (Zhou Si) has died]
Clang!
[Left Eye] opened her eyes. That aura seemingly fallen into dead silence suddenly erupted with resolve.
She hated herself for being affected by the so-called [Omen of the Evil God · Heart of Slaanesh] just now.
Terrifying sword humming rang out loudly.
The speed of this slash was so fast that a sonic boom cloud appeared directly in front of her after the sword was unsheathed, then was also cut open by the sword.
Hum!
The air was instantly sliced into two layers. Blazing white smoke clouds formed a huge fan surface obstructing the entire space.
This huge slash spanned a distance of over ten kilometers, striking from the chaotic battlefield of Reincarnators into the city where two monsters were fighting, directly slicing off a corner of the uplifted city edge.
In the middle of this slash, that crimson figure approaching four meters in height was also cut open by the fan surface.
Left Eye gasped for breath. Her fingers and wrists were completely twisted. This strike, [My Style · Iaido], was a special ability enhanced by Singularities after strengthening the most ordinary [Iaido Slash] to Lv.9.
It was the most suitable Iaido for her, with power surpassing ordinary A+ rank swordsmanship.
Having slashed out and cut that Evil God open brazenly, she didn't relax. Instead, enduring the pain, she sheathed her sword again.
Squelch.
The sword stopped halfway into the scabbard, unable to move further.
A large red hand had grabbed her arm.
Left Eye's pupils contracted. She saw the Evil God cut in half by her slash slowly disappearing like foam, while in front of her, that crimson aura was real and undeniable.
So fast...
Hum!
Huge ice-blue saber Qi slashed from the air. The red-haired boy [Indra], holding the precious saber with both hands, slashed from hundreds of meters away. His aura already possessed eighty to ninety percent of [Red Dust]'s style from that day.
But Kaito Shirogane, gripping the woman's arm with his right hand, raised his left hand without turning his head.
Clang!
The huge saber Qi shattered in front of his left arm. The freezing air around him couldn't affect him at all.
Left Eye's heart contracted violently. Mercenary Tao's malice beat against her face constantly like astral wind.
"A guy like you, don't think..."
Squelch!
A short katana just appeared in Left Eye's left hand when she was yanked up violently by a huge force and smashed onto the ground.
The force was so great that her right arm twisted and tore instantly, revealing white bone.
"Ah!"
Left Eye, always dedicated to the way of the sword, screamed in agony for the first time due to severe pain.
But in the next moment, Mercenary Tao lifted her again and smashed her onto the ground even harder.
Boom!
The ground shook violently, spiderweb-like cracks appearing.
A figure appeared instantly in front of her. Holy light fell continuously, stopping the bleeding on the severed arm immediately. Left Eye felt the severe pain begin to ease.
But looking at Mercenary Tao ahead, who shook her severed arm twice before throwing it on the ground, Left Eye's heart contracted constantly, fear already present in her heart.
Is this guy really a Second Ladder Reincarnator?
How can he have such terrifying combat power?
What transformation jutsu is this? Which world is it from...
Due to fear, Left Eye couldn't calm down, her thoughts scattering wildly. She didn't notice her disordered breathing and trembling left hand, completely unlike a Reincarnator who obtained exclusive [My Style] swordsmanship.
Indra turned around and shouted angrily. His upper body clothes shattered instantly, revealing intense internal Qi. His red hair grew constantly during the transformation, now almost indistinguishable from Red Dust.
Except for those heterochromatic red and orange eyes.
Indra's Talent was named [Absolute Mimicry], an ability allowing him to infinitely approach the mimicked target. The better he understood the target, the more alike he could mimic.
Whether ability level, combat style, Taijutsu skills, or spellcasting skills, all could be mimicked. Even energy could become similar.
Because he didn't understand [Sage]'s abilities, he naturally mimicked Red Dust, the second strongest of Chaos Sage. Now fully erupting with internal Qi, he looked somewhat the part.
But fear also appeared in Indra's eyes. After that roar, he didn't continue slashing, instead waiting for [Archimedes]'s help from the sky.
The scene of Mercenary Tao crushing his hundred-meter saber Qi single-handedly made him fully understand Mercenary Tao's power.
The opponent was a monster. Killing [Zhou Si] instantly in one encounter, then maiming Left Eye, who was stronger than him in the team, in an instant.
Can I win...
"You... can you win..."
"Ha, hahaha!"
Mercenary Tao's wild laughter at this moment sounded like a blade scraping against stone—terrifyingly low, yet seemingly echoing in his heart.
Indra took a step back, staring at Mercenary Tao intently.
He also had a superpower named [Emperor Eye], capable of making the opponent lose balance. Seemingly an accumulative ability, it was actually a special mechanism like causality.
As long as he activated it at a specific moment...
Kaito looked wantonly at this boy whose mental defense was completely lost due to fear and whose inner voice was completely read by him.
His heartbeat had merged into a continuous line, but it wasn't for fighting these weaklings at all.
After activating [Omen of the Evil God] and his Talent, Kaito's attributes swelled. He had completely perceived a stronger existence.
Right around him!
He tapped the ground with his toes.
Click.
A crisp sound like a pebble striking the ground.
Archimedes floating a hundred meters in the air felt his heart skip a beat. Sure enough, in the next moment, he saw huge cracks extending constantly on the ground.
Although he didn't know the specific value, Mercenary Tao's base Strength at this moment definitely exceeded sixty points. No, probably exceeded eighty points...
As a rare Reincarnator breaking limits in both Strength and Spirit, Archimedes never imagined physical strength could have such an effect under extreme control.
Crack!
Ground cracks within a radius of three kilometers shattered instantly, then sank.
Almost at the same time the ground exploded, his eyes moved. Before fully focusing on Indra, he saw a huge crimson figure had already replaced Indra, standing where Indra was just now.
And Indra...
Archimedes moved his gaze constantly, only seeing a black dot flying towards the distant city at an exaggerated speed.
Flesh and blood sprayed constantly along the way.
Bang!
The impact sound transmitted back only after a moment. Archimedes closed his eyes, the deliberately strengthened arrogance in his heart almost completely shattered.
He saw Indra smash into the floating city debris like a pile of rotten meat, dyeing a wall of a building red.
Cold sweat flowed constantly from [Red Queen]'s temples. Amidst her trembling pupils, she saw the Space notification that Indra had also died.
And Left Eye, usually calm, was trembling constantly behind her, unable to even hold her sword tight, constantly saying subconsciously that it hurt.
Pain from the severed limb?
Or another special ability of Mercenary Tao?!
She could no longer distinguish, nor did she know if she should cast dispelling divine arts at this moment.
Strength, Speed, Destructive Power, Defense, Special Resistance, Special Damage...
All of Mercenary Tao's abilities were above theirs.
Is this monster really the guy pushed into desperate straits by [Millennium Bug] in the intelligence?!
Was that guy Millennium Bug that strong? Impossible...
Thump.
Thump.
Thump.
Huge footsteps came from ahead. Archimedes also landed from the sky at this time, coming behind Red Queen.
He dared not separate anymore. Mercenary Tao's speed was too terrifying.
Red Queen subconsciously activated the shield's special ability.
This purple-red shield immediately stuck into the ground. A huge dragon head appeared on the shield, spraying purple venom outward instantly.
The toxin began to submerge everything like a torrent.
Kaito didn't dodge. The fear of several people grew stronger, and [Cocoon of Greed]'s absorption effect also grew stronger. On his body surface, toxin, internal Qi, lightning, and magic power were all turning into a shield, wrapping him like a huge cocoon.
This torrent couldn't break through the defense at all.
"Try a little harder, Chaos Sage. Let me absorb your power, then go fight Sage and [Tang Sanzang]..."
