Chapter 56 Broken Rope I
In any case, it cannot be allowed to escape.
Amy has this determination.
Not to mention the blood debt of Aina and Hansen, this monster has now posed a very big threat to the team, and can perfectly imitate its appearance and abilities - this is quite rare, and even rarer...... The chaotic nature of the demon is not visible in it, and in the previous relationship, it can also be very clearly perceived that its wisdom is not inferior to half a point of human beings at all!
It's a pretty formidable enemy.
Letting it go unchecked will undoubtedly lay an extremely serious hidden danger for future actions.
What could be more dangerous than a monster that hides in the shadows, constantly observing, constantly learning, and possessing the ability to perfect an alien?
Especially in this complex context.
So—
Now, kill it.
"Restrain it. ”
After this period of recuperation, the physical strength overdrawn by the energy potion has been restored to a considerable extent, and Amy has at least recovered seven or eight points of strength, but if she wants to catch up with Aina, it is almost impossible to catch up with the monster that perfectly imitates Aina in just a few tens of meters.
But fortunately, he is not fighting alone.
Both Kaubak and Kozmo were very trustworthy teammates - almost as soon as he finished speaking, the blonde nobleman stopped, resisted the discomfort coming from his body, and once again activated his abilities.
- Manipulating gravity.
Ten times.
The girl who was running stumbled and almost fell to the ground, and even if she barely regained her balance with superhuman body coordination, her speed was also greatly affected, and the distance that she had previously won with phase movement was lost in the blink of an eye.
The two sides are only left with one last step left.
However, this step is the end of the world for Corbck.
- Phase shift.
The ability granted to Aina by the stigmata was played by the monster, and almost the moment Corbock approached and charged, the ability was activated, and her body turned from real to nothing, and then to nothingness.
Amy, who had a certain amount of preparation for this, immediately stopped her steps and withdrew to defend.
But it's still too late.
"Khooth!"
Sparks flew around, and the slash from behind was perfectly parried off and bounced to the side.
And then...... The pupils of the Glorious shrank slightly.
Its objectives are to-
Rope!
Amy's reaction was a step slower, and the broad-bladed, thick-ridged broadsword slashed the rope of wormwood tied to his wrist.
The connection was severed.
The short boy, who didn't have time to stop the car during the pursuit, just hit the border of the area headlong and was teleported to an unknown territory.
Damn it.
The Glory One, who caught this scene out of his sight, was rarely a little annoyed, but he quickly adjusted his mind and returned his attention to the monster with Aina's face.
- Quite tricky.
But it doesn't interfere with the big picture.
As long as it can be solved here, Cobberk's safety should be worry-free.
With that in mind, Amy launched an offensive against it.
In order to cut the wormwood rope, the monster Aina moved behind him, admittedly - this severed the organic whole of the three of them, but at the same time, it put itself in danger.
The Glorious One will not give it another chance to get out.
Phase Movement is not an "invincible" ability that ignores physical collisions like the Killer's Fogging, and it has a delay of about a quarter of a second from activation to effect, which may be difficult for others to catch on to the slightest flaw that lasts so short, but for Amy, who has amazing intuition, it is not a problem at all.
Want to do a phase shift?
Okay, you can-
Be prepared to die.
The young Glory One didn't leave it any respite, the speed and frequency of the attack were faster and faster, even if it parried with all its might, it was exhausted by the stormy attack, and there was no hope of counterattacking or getting out.
What are the limits of human skill?
In the increasingly difficult situation, the monster Aina pursed her lips - how could it be so simple.
Although he didn't know how the human in front of him did it, each of his attacks did fall exactly where its defenses were weakest, forcing it to retreat and sink into the mire.
Quite dangerous prey.
There will be no chance of victory in melee combat.
The wisdom accumulated over thousands of years and tens of thousands of people made it quickly identify the situation and began to seek a way out.
Phase shift?
It's easy, convenient, and quick to make changes at the spatial level, but it's not safe at all – it doesn't want to gamble on whether its head will be on its head after the phase moves.
Similarly, the enormity that takes time to multiply has been rejected.
Fortunately, it has not been driven to a dead end.
The monster did not hesitate, although this rare body that combines strength and beauty is quite loved by it, but before the great horror of life and death, what is personal preference? Deprived of everything, it fell from the clouds and crushed into mud, in the end, it is just the residue of the loser who has survived until now, what is the right to be arrogant?
So—
There is no choice.
The flesh and blood began to distort, and while parrying the attack, it began to squirm, the nose, eyes, mouth, and human facial features began to collapse, and the skin and muscles gradually merged into one, revealing a blank face like the roots of an old tree.
Compared with the change in the face, the distortion of the body is more and more strange and terrifying - there is no prelude, the visible muscle fibers are churning up from under the skin, like living creatures moving around, intertwining, intersecting, patching together little by little, weaving the outline of a new body, while the bodybuilding body with an alternative beauty collapses in an instant, and there is no place on the body that remains "intact", and in many places there are even white bones hidden under it.
It's not bloody.
From beginning to end, not a single drop of blood appeared in the process of "flesh and blood".
It's a monster.
This should have been a matter of no doubt, but when the change ended, the unfamiliar but definitely unfamiliar face that appeared in front of her made Amy in the battle slightly stunned.
Laurie.
The first deceased person they found.
Sure enough," the stunned to the stunned, the moved to the moved, the Glory's attacks did not stop in the slightest, and were even faster and more violent, "You are able to perfectly imitate everyone you kill or see." ”
But—
The ferocious offensive came to an abrupt end.
was blocked.
More precisely, it was blocked by flesh and blood.
"The so-called perfect imitation," one hand received Amy's powerful slash, and the heavy sword with a wide blade and a thick ridge cut through half of the monster's palm, leaving a scratch on the snow-white metacarpal bone, "naturally it will not fall the ability." ”
As he said that, it grinned.
With the palm that was cut in half, but there was no blood dripping down, it was particularly weird.
- Tempering.
This is the ability of Laurie's awakened stigma, which, when activated, increases the strength of body tissue to the point of steel, greatly dulls pain, and accelerates self-healing—as long as it is not cut off by a sword or a hole in the chest with a heavy weapon, it can continue to fight and fight to the death.
Of course, only theoretically.
Due to the instability, Laurie did not conduct further testing.
It's just that......
For now, this monster is more proficient in mastering abilities than the original master—if it is as agile as Laurie, how can it not resist, and use its flesh and blood to grab a head-on sword that is enough to cut through steel? and...... The few times he used the phase movement in Aina's form, both the timing and the choice of the foothold were perfect, and even he was not sure that he could do better.
This sense of battle is definitely not something that an ordinary demon can have.
Even among the high-level demons, there are very few people who can maintain rationality and have this level of combat consciousness and fighting instinct, and it is a special case that will only be born by chance.
Its identity is not simple.
But so what? That's not what he's supposed to be thinking about right now.
Because—
The crisis is near, and the fangs are revealed.
Show one’s true colors in the end.
The monster's form began to dissolve again, and the muscle tissue was once again untied into a fibrous substance that was entwined together, and then ...... Hansen's tall, rugged figure appeared before him again.
And he was powerless to stop it.
Although Laurie's ability to temper had dissipated with the change in appearance, the greatsword in his hand was pinned down in his hand, and it could not be pulled out for a moment.
As for melee combat...... Sorry, he didn't want to engage in hand-to-hand combat at all when he saw the blood-colored fibers that looked like a living creature - who knows what would happen when he got entangled in something that looked terrible? It wasn't going to be a lighthearted positive experience anyway.
What's more, even if he punches the flesh, he doesn't think it can have much impact on this monster.
The other party is not a human, but some kind of puppet with a similar appearance to a human, or something, since there is no blood, then those organs in the body that are vital to human beings must not exist, and the damage caused by blunt force blows will be very limited, not to mention fists and feet, rather than taking unknown risks in exchange for such a small amount of gains, it is really better to wait and see what tricks he will play.
But when Hansen's face appeared in front of him, his face changed suddenly.
Hansen's abilities are......
- Enormous.
