Volume 4 Chapter 75 Breaking out of the cocoon
The brief pause was broken when the Greatsword Assassin was finally hit by the group's shellfire. Although the Greatsword Assassin's dodging ability was the best among the Axes present, the combination showed fatigue with almost no interruption of attacks - first he was grazed by a single attack, causing a pause, and then a continuous series of attacks.
Although the combination did not have the intention of killing the Great Sword Assassin under the control of Shi Leiyin's residual consciousness, it also focused on taking care of his legs. Judging from the appearance alone, the Great Sword Assassin's legs were almost irreparably damaged.
'It's better than losing your life' Shi Leiyin's residual consciousness on the combination flashed a trace of unbearable, but quickly ignored it.
Because when the Great Sword Assassin was seriously injured, the battle that had been stopped because of mutual fear had resumed.
As the leader of the elite squad of the Axes, Weiss has a strong ability to withstand pressure and a calm judgment ability to face any situation. After his initial misjudgment caused his two friends to be eroded by Dhaka, Weiss forced himself into absolute calm judgment.
When Shrayin used the 'hostage' tactic, Weiss judged that he had a chance of saving the two friends, so he stopped for the time being. However, the Greatsword Assassin's injury means that the opponent may use the 'hostage' to completely disarm their own threat. Weiss immediately judged the more advantageous option for his side in the loss of hostages and the annihilation of the group.
The Greatsword of Light no longer hesitated to slash at the 'Dome', completely ignoring the existence of the combination and the hostages. As Weiss's friends, the two Arks who only had their brains left and could control freely no longer showed frightened expressions, but instead faced the Greatsword of Light slashed by Weiss with an indifferent face. After a brief pause, they also knew that they were able to retain the consciousness of their heads, purely because the other party wanted to threaten others with them as hostages. For members of the organization who put glory first, even at the cost of sacrificing themselves to fight Dhaka, facing death calmly is the most correct thing for them to do.
And just before the Greatsword of Light broke through the three-layer shield on the surface of the combined body and was about to cut it apart along with the heads and combinations of the hostages, a pitch-black hand appeared in front of the blade of the Greatsword of Light in time.
The Photon Blade, which was extremely sharp before, could not even break through the skin of this pitch-black hand, and as the contact time with this hand became longer, the blue-white blade light on the Greatsword of Light gradually turned red and black. At the same time, the pitch-black hand slammed into it, and the red-black lightning immediately struck at Weiss, who was holding the hilt and trying to pull away, from the position where his finger touched the greatsword of light. As Weiss had no choice but to retreat, the Greatsword of Light was completely transformed into red and black, and then exploded into pieces due to the instability of energy.
Along with Wes, there were several other Akers who also attacked, and the Dark Hand appeared, and at the same time as repelling Wes, a red-black shield far beyond the use of the combination burst out from the giant egg, not only blocking the attacks of the other Axes, but also forcibly pushing them away as if it were substance.
After the shield was unfurled, the pitch-black hand retracted into the giant egg, leaving only the part of the 'eggshell' that was broken by the hand, surging with black mist with red lightning, but it was completely impossible to see the situation inside.
As Shi Leiyin in the 'Dome' made a move, the combination fell to the ground like a marionette that had lost control.
To the surprise of Weiss and the others, the combination that fell to the ground slowly faded into Dhaka. The black exterior resembling muscles and tendons gradually faded, revealing the more machine-like angular form of the original species.
As if all of Dhaka's matter had been absorbed by the 'Dome', the combination reverted to the original form of the two Institutional Akers.
In fact, it was indeed Shi Leiyin who completely recovered the consciousness and the remaining part of the body that was originally parasitic on the body of the institutional species.
While feeling that Weiss was planning to forcibly attack him regardless of the safety of the hostages, Shi Leiyin also completed the transformation of the body inside the Dome. But because there was still a trace of consciousness and the body was still in the combination, Shi Leiyin was only one step away from completely completing the super-level transformation. Naturally, after showing one arm to block the attack that Wesner might regret for life, Shi Leiyin also took the opportunity to reverse the Dhaka-like form on the two Ax people, and recovered the last trace of consciousness and body that he had left behind, and completed the final evolutionary transformation.
The feeling that the body and soul had entered the transcendent level at the same time made Shi Leiyin feel that he could do anything almost for the first moment. This evolutionary transformation beyond the limit is completely different from the changes in the previous upgrades. When the strength of the body and soul was synchronized, Shi Leiyin completely mastered the power of the super level. The process of metamorphosis is the process of mastering power.
The synchronization of the power of the body and soul also gave Shi Leiyin the ability to fully exert his super-level thinking. The hazy understanding of the dark consciousness before has become clear under the ability to think at the advanced level. It also made Shi Leiyin understand the existence of the Dark Followers, and why the true Dark Consciousness showed disdain for the Dark Followers.
However, these Thunder Sounds were put aside for the time being, and after understanding the existence of the Dark Followers, Thunder Sounds no longer stuck to their slime form. In fact, after completely stepping into a super-level creature, Shi Leiyin has completely separated from the category of slimes both physically and mentally. While he can still maintain the slime's beneficial properties, these are only remnants of his metamorphosis as a super-level creature. Just like the Ancestral Dragon Slime is essentially the same as a real Ancestral Dragon, but still retains some of the slime's characteristics.
There was no need to maintain the form of a slime, and under the rotation of his mind, Shi Leiyin naturally chose the appearance of a humanoid. In addition to the fact that they were once 'human', or perhaps because of some unknown truth, most super-level beings will give themselves a humanoid manifestation. It's like the Followers of Darkness will host an Axes to gain their humanoid appearance.
Although most of his power comes from the same source of darkness as the Dark Followers, Shi Lei Yin does not need to parasitize his human form like the Dark Followers. Because he had set the appearance of the humanoid before, under a thought, Shi Leiyin completed his humanoid composition.
The humanoid hands stretched slightly, and the shell of the 'Dome' shattered like a real eggshell. The black fog dissipated, revealing Shi Leiyin's latest image.
