Chapter 159 Confession!
Many animals instinctively feel fear when they see the carcass of their own kind. This fear stems from the instinct for survival, because the presence of a carcass means there is a potential danger nearby.
But if there are many corpses...
Suddenly, a patch of rainless land appeared above the Red Well, which was shrouded in a fierce storm, as if a transparent semi-circular glass dome had been placed over it, creating a truly spectacular sight!
"The king had no one behind him, so he used the sound of the clapper to control Minamoto no Chino and Erii."
Angers sent the message and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it had been sent successfully instead of a red exclamation mark.
Time Zero is indeed only a god-tier character in civil wars. When faced with a massive dragon body, especially a mutated dragon like the Yamata no Orochi with eight heads, no matter how fast Time Zero is, it cannot effectively kill it in one blow.
The dragon's body only recovers quickly, not that it is immortal, but it is clear that he cannot whittle down the Yamata no Orochi's health to the point of lethality, because the Yamata no Orochi is not fighting as a dragon.
The masked king looked at the creature before him, whose appearance was indistinguishable between human and monster, and exclaimed in admiration: "As expected of the world's number one hybrid, your strength amazes everyone."
At this moment, Angers was no longer the refined old man that others remembered. Sharp dragon claws were clutching his abdomen, and jet-black scales covered his body, the exact opposite color of the other monster with white scales.
This was the first time Wang Jiang had ever seen such a "person".
Erii is so strong because her situation is quite special. When the White King's blood and the incredible Dragon King's fetal blood burst forth with powerful energy, what is burned at the bottom is her lifespan. Moreover, she cannot burn her lifespan at any time; she must be forcibly activated with the Dragon King's fetal blood that he left behind.
Angers, an old man who has been active in the world for more than 100 years, can transform into a little dragon anytime, anywhere.
If he hadn't taken precautions and left Erii a backup plan, the main character at the Red Well tonight wouldn't be him, the King, but the renowned world's number one hybrid in front of him.
“But I’m still a step behind…” Blood stopped flowing from Angers’ hand, which was covering his wound, because he was almost out of blood.
Even the most powerful monster has its limits. Faced with the trial and the torment of a thousand cuts, he was like an honest, down-to-earth farmer, facing a woman who had returned from studying in the city and was accustomed to the pleasures of life.
His powerful dragon body meant he wouldn't die anytime soon, but this helpless prolongation of life was of no use at this moment.
As the trial proceeded, Angers cut the rain and parted the clouds, glancing at the stars as if taking one last look at the world.
Just then, a commotion broke out outside, but it quickly subsided.
“Another person from your academy has died.” Wang Jiang sighed softly. “Why are you all so stubborn in your obstruction of me? You almost ruined my plans.”
Upon seeing Erii's figure, Angers immediately ordered the Kassel College agents inside the Red Well to evacuate from the Red Well. Then, every 5 minutes, they launched a suicidal charge against the Red Well to hinder the King's movements and delay the King's advance as much as possible until 35 minutes later.
Angers didn't reply to Wang Jiang's words, calculating in his mind that at the slowest pace, it would take at least another 20 minutes, and if things went quickly...
He glanced at the Yamata no Orochi trapped in a specially made net. The former White Emperor was stuffed into the net like a fish. Angers had a feeling that the Orochi was being honest, but it seemed to be plotting something bad. After all, when they had pulled it out of the water, it wasn't so well-behaved.
Angers then looked at Genjiro, who resembled Genjiro by about 5 points, and Erii, who had turned into a white monster.
Three enemies, each more troublesome than the last. Uesugi Yue sank without making a sound outside, and no one has returned to Hongjing. It seems that the old shadow king has indeed crashed.
It seems that Lu Mingfei is the only person left who can take over the situation, but he's not sure if Lu Mingfei will come... He probably will.
Angers gasped for breath, feeling the emptiness within his body.
Seeing that he had no interest in chatting, the king stopped looking at him and instead glanced at the white king's remains, which resembled the body of the eight-headed serpent.
However, he did not get too close to the deformed dragon. He knew that the dragon was just accumulating strength and recovering its stamina. It had already exhausted a lot of its strength fighting with Angers in the Red Well. Now, facing the overwhelming presence of Genji and Erii, the once high and mighty White Emperor had to lower his head and seize the time to catch his breath, while looking for an opportunity to break through the encirclement in one go.
He said, "So even a dragon as powerful as you can be as tolerant as an ordinary creature, seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune."
The eight-headed serpent's sixteen dark golden eyes stared at the weakest human in the scene, but it made no move, merely surveying its surroundings with a strange look...
"Kill it!"
The king will strike the clapper and issue the order without any mercy.
He didn't revive the White King to allow him to rule the world; otherwise, why would he have forced him into the Red Well? Now, the time to reap the rewards has come. He needs to remove the disguise of this eight-headed serpent and expose its vulnerable points…
The helicopter flew over the Red Well, and the loud noise startled Wang Jiang, who looked up at the sky.
This is the death zone of the trial; any living thing that enters the zone will be attacked. Yet the helicopter remained unharmed above the Red Well.
[...They were all "acquaintances," so there weren't any major surprises...]
The Yamata no Orochi, which was formed from the remains of the White King, was put into a bag, which was in line with the system's prediction of the current situation—the White King, the greatest direct threat, was not that powerful.
Besides, the system's biggest fear is that some strange dragon king or something will jump out of the red well. So even though it has already reached the edge of the red well, it has never come over to check. Instead, it just watches the show. If there is any other disturbance, the system will run away.
It wasn't until Angers sent a text message saying there was no information about the Dragon King that the system sent a helicopter to check.
Angers, the King, Genji, Erii, the White Emperor who fell from the throne... their chances of winning a fight against them are not low...
The helicopter hovered in mid-air. A person opened the hatch, stood at the doorway, and looked down at Hongjing.
"Lu Mingfei?"
The king recognized the boy.
The strong wind in the air made the other person's clothes rustle, as if the other person was trying to look cool, and trying to look cool in front of him, the one who was about to be the final winner.
"Is this your trump card?"
He roughly understood what was going on, and looked at Angers lying on the ground, but his tone was rather indifferent.
The other party clearly used some unknown means to circumvent the targeting of the death zone in order to bring the helicopter in, but if that's all they can do, then it's just another corpse lying on the ground.
You might be able to dodge spells and elemental attacks, but can you really dodge knives?
"Kill him first!" The king struck the clapper and gave the order to Erii.
The Word of Judgment immediately began targeting the helicopter in the air, attempting to crash it, but... it was somewhat ineffective?
The Word of Power: Dustless Land created a high-speed wind shield around the helicopter, and the high-speed airflow disrupted the Judgment's ability to control the other elements in the vicinity.
It's a very simple matter of using the power of words to fight against the power of words.
For example, Junyan's explosion, though seemingly powerful, is still actual damage caused by high temperature, flames, and explosive shockwaves. It is not something invisible or intangible that others can avoid using various methods.
The same principle applies to trials. The caster takes control of elements within a wide range, transforming them into a blade in the caster's hand, cutting through everything within that range. However, the way this blade manifests varies greatly, far beyond the imagination of normal people.
Ultimately, the enemy was killed through physical means, which is not so unreasonable.
The Judgment's all-elemental blades came at them, and it all came down to who had the better control over the elements of the Word of Power. But when it came to a battle of Word of Power and elements, neither the system nor Lu Mingfei was afraid. It was just that constantly running the Word of Power: Dustless Land at full power was taking a toll...
The system calmly took out a dragon blood crystal, crushed it, and then casually cut a wound in its palm, sprinkling the highly toxic powder onto it.
This is the simplest, and also the most brutal, method discovered by the system to extract the power from the dragon blood crystal.
Converting the power of dragon blood crystals is not a big problem, but the conversion methods and speeds are somewhat different.
Going through the normal digestive system is safe, but too slow... The system chooses to embed the alchemical matrix into the human body's flesh and blood. Once the alchemical matrix absorbs power, it can be directly input into the human body.
The alchemical matrix, having absorbed the power of the dragon's blood, began to operate, transporting the surging power into Lu Mingfei's body in a way that minimized energy loss.
The high-speed airflow of the Word of Power: Dustless Land intensified further, causing the system to jump off the plane.
After he jumped out of the helicopter, it began to be torn apart by the judgment, but the metal fragments of the wreckage flew into his hand and melted at an incredible speed, turning into a sharp longsword. The luster and patterns of the alchemical matrix flowed with an eerie light on the blade!
In just a few seconds, Lu Mingfei created an alchemical weapon!
The remaining metal was also controlled, turning into sharp blades that flashed with electricity, forming an electric net that followed Lu Mingfei as they plunged into the Red Well.
Words of Power: Heaven and Earth as a Furnace!
Words of Power: Immortality!
Word of Power: Ghostly Victory!
Word of Power: Sword Control!
Word of Power: Thunderclap!
……
It seemed as if endless power had given the system confidence, and all the available incantations were activated! The king was also stunned when he saw Lu Mingfei swooping down, because there were quite a few methods that could be seen on the surface!
How can the opponent have so many Words of Power?! And how can they control them all?! Could it be Mirror Eye? Does Mirror Eye have a distraction effect?!
Casting a spell requires mental effort to control, but judging from Lu Mingfei's situation, he clearly controlled all the spells with ease, resisting the Judgment's attempt to seize control within the spell's effect!
The white-scaled monster seemed to have noticed something was wrong. It tried to kill the other party again and again, but the blade of judgment seemed to have become dull, and it could not actually cut the other party!
"Confess!"
It roared! All the controllable elements within its domain swarmed towards Lu Mingfei.
"deny!"
The system unleashed a roar imbued with the power of the Word of Supreme, causing all elements within its reach to momentarily freeze.
The rain of flying knives, carried by the Word of Power: Yin Flow, hurtled towards the ground of the Red Well at incredible speed, like a deadly barrage of bullets.
Hearing the Supreme's roar, Yuan Zhinü was momentarily distracted. When she came to her senses, she found that the rain of blades was already rushing towards her. She frowned and nimbly dodged the trajectory of the Yin Stream, avoiding being washed in the face by the rain of blades.
The white-scaled monster didn't dodge; it directly seized control of the elements. The flow of Yin and Feng was quickly weakened, and the soft blades struck the white-scaled monster, causing no damage whatsoever!
As for the king, he had no effective protection and was directly torn to pieces! Pieces of flesh and bone slid off his body, and the clapper in his hand was also shredded!
That thing is the method the king uses to control Erii and the others; the system has been keeping an eye on it.
But the king was dying, the clapper shattered, yet the sound of the clapper never stopped…
Loudspeaker! Speaker!
The king can not only control the two emperors with the clapper in his hand, but also continue to control them by recording the sound of the clapper!
and……
"System, I feel really dizzy, what's wrong with me? Why does this clapper sound seem to work on me too?"
Although his body was being managed by the system, it didn't mean that Lu Mingfei had completely lost control and perception of his body. Previously, when he was on the helicopter, the sound of Wang Jiang banging the clapper wasn't loud enough and was drowned out by the noise. Now that the sound system was used, the sound was louder and reached Lu Mingfei's ears.
Then Lu Mingfei discovered this anomaly.
[...The hosting status has not been affected in any way...]
The system's analysis logs were refreshing rapidly, reflecting the computational power required to control multiple incantations simultaneously.
However, as soon as the system heard Lu Mingfei say that he felt something was wrong, it immediately stopped some unimportant words of power and turned to analyze the matter and search Lu Mingfei's body!
"Strange……"
Lu Mingfei didn't understand why this kind of sound would affect him.
Fortunately, with the system managing his body, this anomaly could not affect his control over his body.
Words of Power: Heaven and Earth as a Furnace!
