Chapter 255: The Silver Body
In the void, a wisp of tulle floated silently, as if ink paintings were spreading across it, changing back and forth.
Take a closer look.
The scene was clearly of three figures engaged in a chaotic battle, and the swirling tulle was obviously a kind of binding barrier.
Karl was being besieged by two people, and for some reason, he found it difficult to return to the Divine Domain Fragment. He also couldn’t free up his hands to break the barrier. If he didn’t want to attract more experts to surround him, his only choice was to attack forcefully.
“Hah…”
He exhaled a long breath of turbid air. He lightly raised both hands, catching the two golden hammers that were attacking him, one in front and one behind.
He didn’t know what material these hammers were made of, but they were unbelievably hard, and they contained a terrifying, powerful force.
Karl had no doubt that if these hammers landed on a mountain, they would be able to smash through it from both sides.
Even with his current physique and recovery ability, taking a few heavy blows from the hammers would leave him bruised and battered.
And that wasn’t all.
Gideon, who was wielding the longbow, had the eyes of a divine archer. Even from more than ten miles away, he could accurately hit his target.
Karl could only barely dodge by exerting all his strength to use his movement techniques.
The divine techniques of the Deity’s Followers did not require cultivation. They came directly from the deity. As a Follower, they only needed to provide energy.
Therefore, no matter what kind of divine technique it was, the Deity’s Followers were proficient in it as soon as they used it. However, due to the lack of cultivation, their bodies, which provided the energy, were inevitably a bit stiff. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to dodge at all.
“Swish!”
Dodging another incoming arrow, Karl’s eyes narrowed, and the true energy around his body exploded, allowing him to withstand the golden hammers.
“Bang!”
Karl’s body swayed, and even Esther, with his carp head, couldn’t help but pause.
“Tsk…”
An arrow took the opportunity to shoot over, like a sinister poisonous snake, piercing directly into Karl’s neck.
The archery of the God of Hunting never missed any opportunity.
Moreover…
Poison!
The strange poison was actually able to affect the restoration of the Water of Life and the bloodline power of the Abyssal Squid.
Besides the poison, there was also a death curse on the arrow!
Fortunately, Karl had the protection of the Thunder God’s Wrath. As long as it didn’t exceed the third order, methods of sudden death were useless against him.
Withstanding the joint attack of the two, he finally got a moment to catch his breath.
Twelve Zodiac Palaces!
“Buzz…”
The void trembled.
Twelve pillars quietly appeared on the ink painting, and released black smoke, trapping a figure within.
“Gideon!”
Esther’s expression changed:
“How are you?”
“Don’t worry.” Although Gideon was trapped in the Twelve Zodiac Palaces, he could see in an instant that this marvel was far from displaying its true power.
“Give me thirty breaths.”
“Okay.”
Esther breathed a sigh of relief. His eyes suddenly narrowed, and golden light bloomed from his body as he gripped the two hammers tightly in his hands.
One breath for them was not the same as one breath for ordinary people. It was much faster, and it would pass quickly.
“Clang…”
The two hammers collided, and even the void seemed to tremble.
Karl shook his head. He didn’t rush to attack, but instead spent a few breaths adjusting his breathing.
Eight breaths!
Six Star Soul Curse Killing Technique!
His eyes lit up, and six wraiths howled out, their mouths screaming sharply as they rushed towards Esther.
Ten breaths!
Karl’s figure flashed, appearing in front of Esther, his hands forming seals as countless bolts of lightning fell.
Ten Thousand Buddha Hands โ Thunder Seal.
The Ten Thousand Buddha Hands at the Hundred Hand Realm exerted all their power. The true energy within his body surged wildly, and the lightning instantly submerged Esther.
Fifteen breaths!
Cold and Hot Sonata!
Within a range of several hundred square feet, the extreme cold and heat alternated thirty times per second, causing Esther’s expression to change.
Twenty breaths!
A wizard tower appeared in the field.
The eye at the top of the wizard tower slowly opened, staring at the figure below.
Third Order โ Evil God’s Eye.
Pseudo Third Order โ Aura of Fear!
…
A smooth combo directly suppressed his opponent. Taking the opportunity, he lunged forward, his hands gripping the other’s arms.
“Crack…”
With immense force, he directly twisted and broke Esther’s arm bones. At the same time, he slammed his head heavily into him.
“Bang!”
Twenty-five breaths.
Esther’s head caved inward, his body arched back, his eyes blank, and blood flowed from his seven orifices.
“Die!”
***
Taking advantage of the other’s confusion, the wizard tower’s additional magic, soul techniques, and the Ten Thousand Buddha Hands all attacked at once.
Even though Esther possessed the bloodline of the dragon clan and was a middle follower at the late second order, he was still blasted into countless fragments.
Source Essence +7
Karl’s eyes flickered slightly, and he directly converted the Source Essence into constitution.
Constitution 39.4 -> 40.1
Late Second Order!
Although the increase in constitution was not much, it was as if he had broken through some kind of limit. His originally stagnant bloodline became active again.
The fifth level of the Holy Demon Transformation, which had not improved for a long time, also suddenly moved, directly crossing that threshold.
Holy Demon Transformation โ Sixth Level!
The Silver Body!
A Silver Body comparable to the third order.
“Rattle…”
Karl stood still, but he could feel his body undergoing a drastic change from the inside out.
His blood was like liquid silver, his flesh like a treasured weapon, his hair like sharp blades…, he could exhale clouds of mist with each breath.
No wonder!
No wonder the Silver Body was comparable to the third order.
Apart from not extending his lifespan, the Silver Body possessed all the elements of a Forbidden Knight.
He clenched his fist.
Although the world’s restrictions were still in place, Karl could feel that the power he could unleash had become even stronger.
It was a power that delved into the very essence of matter.
The power of laws!
Only third-order experts could control the power of laws, but now he, at the late second order, had initially grasped it.
“Swish!”
Not far away, a stream of light flashed, and Gideon, with a gloomy expression, finally broke through the Twelve Zodiac Palaces and appeared in the field.
“Thirty breaths?”
Karl looked at the other party, shaking his head and chuckling lightly:
“It seems like it was more than that. Luckily, I killed him before the thirty breaths were up. Otherwise, wouldn’t you be anxious waiting for your backup?”
“You actually killed Esther.” Gideon’s eyes narrowed, and he retreated silently, holding his longbow:
“The Black Dragon won’t let you off!”
“Oh?” Karl raised an eyebrow:
“Is he a relative of that Black Dragon?”
“No.” Gideon shook his head:
“He is…”
?
Karl was stunned, and subconsciously asked:
“Is the Black Dragon male or female?”
No wonder he asked that. As far as he knew, the Black Dragon was male, and Esther was also a male carp.
He wouldn’t be wrong about that.
“Ignorance!”
Gideon shook his head:
“Dragon nature is like that.”
As a Follower of the God of Hunting, he was very familiar with the instincts of all kinds of beasts, and he was also accustomed to this kind of relationship.
“…” For a moment, Karl even forgot to attack, and curiously asked:
“Are the deities in your world also in such chaotic relationships?”
“Chaotic?” Gideon frowned:
“I don’t understand what you mean.”
“Heh…” Karl smiled:
“You’re not rushing to attack, and you’re not taking down the barrier. It seems you’re still planning to wait for your backup to come and deal with me.”
“Too bad!”
“There’s nothing to be sorry about.” Gideon sneered:
“The Black Dragon is already on his way. In ten breaths at most, he will appear before you.”
“Ten breaths?” Karl understood:
“That’s quite a bit faster than your thirty breaths.”
“That’s right.” Gideon continued:
“So even if you killed Esther, you won’t escape this calamity today. You’re doomed…”
“Pfft!”
Before he could finish speaking, his body suddenly stiffened, and his eyes looked at Karl, who had suddenly appeared in front of him, with disbelief.
Then, he slowly lowered his head, looking at his chest.
There.
Where his beast heart, the ‘treasure’ bestowed upon him by the deity, originally was.
Now.
A hand had pierced through his chest, and had ripped out his bloodied, still-beating heart, crushing it with a single grip.
Source Essence +6
