Chapter 119: Conclusion

With little grape’s assistance, he successfully cleaved the target with the “Moon of Slaughter,” branding the Moon Seal inside the Holy Embryo’s body. This Holy Embryo, Marcos, who had just descended into the world, felt a real threat to his life for the first time, far more intense than the previous Red Lotus Explosions. Apart from the rat swarm eroding and tearing at the new flesh, there was also oppression from the disease root level, making the Moon Seal branded on the surface of the new flesh very uncomfortable, carrying even a faint sense of being invaded. He wanted to live; he did not want to die! A strong will to survive ignited the nascent potentials within the Holy Embryo, Whoosh! The regeneration speed doubled, identifying the farthest piece of flesh from Yi Chen and Jin as the “Regeneration Center”… Within one second, all flesh converged towards that point, forming a floating ball of blood. At the cost of burning Essence Blood, he forcibly neutralized the Moon Seal branded on the soul’s surface, and the rat swarm consuming the new flesh also vanished. Almost within one second, regeneration was complete… Crack! The blood ball burst, unveiling a brand new body. Holy Embryo Marcos descended again in a form better suited for the battle at hand, 1. Originally grown on his back to form wings, the umbilical cords all gathered towards his left hand, compressed into high density and wound into a shield called “Umbilical Great Shield”. 2. The right arm connected to the Skull Ball via the umbilical cord, reduced its attack range to within two meters, avoiding long-range attacks. 3. His “Gentleman’s Skin” was transformed by the new flesh, reinforced and layered with thick fat, converted into a set of minced meat armor. Like a heavily armored knight with a shield, he leaned more towards melee combat and defense. The changes inside the Ritual Cave were not limited to Marcos. Yi Chen changed as well, he was already immersed in the slaughter, even little grape itself started harboring killing intent, His collar stood up, his bloodshot eyes glaring fixedly at the opponent, He leaned forward, his arms hanging low and slanted holding the axe (predominantly with black-haired arms), like a bloodthirsty beast under the moon night, ready to charge at the target at any moment, At that moment, the recovered Jin stepped beside Yi Chen, one hand on his shoulder, both looking towards the Holy Embryo, “William, it’s really hard to kill someone who has seen the old world sights… Your past attack seemed more effective than mine~ let me create an opportunity for you to strike the killing blow?” ????άNỔＢƐS̩ Yi Chen squeezed out a word filled with killing intent through his teeth, “Yes.” As soon as he finished speaking, Jin once again unleashed 150% of his Body Explosion, rushing towards the target as a red light, a speed that surpassed ‘Limit of Man,’ comparable to a High-Rank Gentleman. But… Click! A crisp sound of bones and flesh jamming. Sёarch* The NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Jin, taking a shortcut from a blind spot, made a cut that was perfectly blocked by Holy Embryo Marcos with a swift reaction and turn, moving his left arm’s huge shield. The long sword that could easily tear through targets (William’s limited edition) couldn’t even break through the large shield. It became completely lodged halfway through, even trapped tightly in the umbilical cords between the shield, hard to pull out. Hum! At the same time, Marcos swung the Skull Ball with his right arm, smashing it down. “Red Lotus. Explosion” He forcibly detonated the blade embedded in the shield. Boom! The moderately powerful explosion freed the long sword, and Jin, too, used the blast to move back several meters… the spot where she had stood was completely shattered by the heavy hammer, leaving several agonized faces imprinted on the ground. Jin did not pause, lunging back into the dust. Click, click, click~ Continuous collisions of bone and flesh, Jin employed high maneuverability, launching tricky and swift slashes, but either the blade chopped at the large shield or was parried by the Skull Ball. Though shadow flickered within the dust, Jin appeared to be dominating, her attacks became increasingly difficult to harm! The most terrifying part was, Marcos had begun to adapt to such speed, even the explosions, and human language as well. Boom! Unable to cut through the shield, Jin used another explosion to disengage, significantly weaker than the previous ones, indicating that the ‘Red Lotus Energy’ inside her had fallen below 30%, with no fresh meat to replenish her energy. Standing amidst the dust, Marcos, undisturbed by the explosion, vomited human words from his malformed mouth: “Getting… weaker? I have already… adapted.” His words seemed to provoke Jin. Through the dust, a black silhouette charged again. The distinct outline of a pig’s head and a similar figure confirmed it was the same madwoman as before. The adaptation in combat and thought enabled Holy Embryo Marcos to instinctively parry, and this time he planned to take down the somewhat exhausted Jin. “Come on… human.” From beyond the dust, a shadow slashed with light, and Marcos parried with the shield in the same way. Whoosh! The slash was as expected, still unable to break through the giant shield, cutting only 1/3 of the way through. But, there was no invasion of red silk threads at the cut, nor any blooming of Red Lotus, Buzz! Instead, a clear Moon Seal was branded on the surface of the shield, and a large number of rats began to gnaw at the umbilical tissues that made up the shield, reducing and damaging its defensive capabilities. Even Marcos himself hadn’t realized what had happened until he saw that the weapon in front of him was not an arm blade, but an axe radiating soft moonlight. The shadow behind the dust was no longer Jin, but Yi Chen, almost the same size and height, who had quickly donned a pig head mask during the explosion and dust. From beneath the pig head, a human voice emerged, “Your adaptability tends to cause misjudgments… Such childish tricks couldn’t be more fitting for a child like you.” Holy Embryo Marcos’s face contorted as he immediately swung the skull ball with his right arm, Whoosh! A faster streak of red light flashed from his side, Jin, revealing her face and with a Red Lotus under her left eye, swiftly cut off his right arm, sending the skull ball flying along with the arm. “You… ” Marcos still wanted to say something when he suddenly saw a pitch-black object coming right at him! Smack! It wasn’t a weapon, but a black-haired hand whose fingers spread wide and gripped his face. Before Marcos could react, the hand on his face writhed, opened its mouth, and spat out eyes! Point-blank Spiritual Shock! Although Marcos had inherited certain mental traits from his mother, he was still affected. By the time he quickly regained consciousness, his body was already pinned to the ground! Sitting on him was Yi Chen, neatly dressed in a suit, wearing a pig head mask… Through the eye holes of the mask, a pair of fierce, ghostly eyes were visible. [Superfast Regeneration] Marcos tried to quickly regenerate his arm to push Yi Chen off him. The raised Moonlight Axe Blade had already fallen! Crack—skull split! Splitting the skull and leaving a Moon Seal between the brains… As Holy Embryo sensed the threat to his life and the intense pain in his brain, his body began to struggle wildly, umbilical cords popping out all over. However, before these umbilical cords could reach Yi Chen, Crack! Another axe fell! With each slash, a Moon Seal, Each Seal brought forth a large horde of rats that sought to destroy the reborn flesh and suppress the emerging illness, At that moment, Yi Chen seemed both like a frenzied butcher and a conscientious main surgeon, persistently performing forced surgery on a patient with a terminal disease. Gradually, the Holy Embryo beneath him stopped struggling, all the writhing umbilical cords drooped, leaving only the sounds of the axe striking and the rats chattering in the ritual cavern. Even Yi Chen didn’t know how many times he had raised his hand nor whether the ‘patient’ had been ‘cured’ yet. Just as he instinctively raised his arm again, Smack! A soft, delicate hand reached out horizontally and grabbed his wrist, stopping his action. “William, do you want to go plant trees in Cesimani? This guy’s body is still of use to me, so don’t wreck it too badly.” Following Jin’s reminder, Yi Chen gradually came to his senses amidst the slaughter, stood up, and looked at the ‘inner beauty’ he had revealed on the ground, then stepped back to the edge of the ritual area, breathing heavily. Leaving Jin alone to clean up the battlefield, she took off her black leather jacket, reverting it back to the ‘swollen sack’ form and collected the remnants of the Holy Embryo inside, carrying it on her shoulder like the Village Chief.
