Strength

Han Dong had personally experienced the hardness of Diana's bones; they were definitely stronger than steel.

"Butcher's Cut"

Diana's two fingers detached instantly and flew through the air...

The cut in the bone was quite smooth, seemingly without any obstruction.

If Diana's Danger Perception and physical reaction had been even a fraction slower, her right forearm might have been completely gone.

What's wrong with this monster?

She had never encountered such a situation before... and after breaking through the seed, her bone hardness increased even further.

Faced with such an existence, her bone defense was no different from that of an ordinary physical body; a single mistake would result in her being killed.

Change stance and abandon close combat.

During the retreat, the bone density in the body is changing rapidly.

"Bone Derivation"

Diana's unique bone characteristics and ability to break down species allow her to develop various forms of bone structure according to her inner desires.

The bow is constructed using two reinforced ribs and a bowstring made of highly resilient cartilage.

The flesh in the palm area is cracked.

Through the differentiation of bone marrow stem cells, a cone-shaped bone arrow with a special structure was constructed. The arrow's interior seemed to be filled with bone marrow fluid exceeding its energy value... Diana dared not use this move in the Knight Tournament, as it could easily lead to death.

Instantly switch from melee assassin to ranged assassin.

The whole process was smooth and seamless.

"Lethal Bone Arrow"

Locking in and charging up requires a charging time of 1 to 3 seconds.

Cas also made a move at this moment.

Cas, who joined the Lionheart Knight Order, was very clear about his role in the knight squad and what he should do... He needed to use his superior defense and the power of the lion to create the best output space for his teammates.

"What kind of brute force is this... using your body to withstand my charged attack."

Cas roared.

The veins on the surface of his left arm bulged, and waves of energy rippled out from under Cas's feet... Perhaps due to the combination with the alien demon, when Cas used his strength to the maximum, his muscles would undergo a certain degree of "petrification".

There were even a few rock strata that quickly clumped on the skin's surface.

"Giant Shield Bash"

The weight of the shield itself, combined with Cas's strength, directly caused Miles to lose his balance.

Shield and sword conversion.

Without any pause, Cas grabbed the "Stone Pig Sword" and continued to suppress the attack, trying his best to attract Miles ' attention, and it would be even better if he could cause damage.

However.

The physical strength and adaptability of the "Hidden Resident" exceeded Cas's expectations.

The swing of the giant shield only caused Miles to shift his center of gravity for less than a second.

Thud! The heavy leather shoes, size 50, were planted firmly on the ground, stabilizing the center of gravity.

The malevolent energy is leaking out.

He wielded the Moonlight Dinner Knife and slashed at Cas.

The terrifying gaze emanating from beneath the white mask put immense pressure on Cas, suppressing his aura.

Even with the combined boosts to my defense from "Petrified Skin," the aura, and the Stone Pig Sword, it would be difficult to block this attack...

"Sword Skill: Offense and Defense Switching"

Cas instantly changed his strategy, forcibly turning the Stone Pig Sword he was swinging into a defensive stance.

What happened next stunned everyone.

An ordinary-looking dinner knife slashed at the surface of the Stone Pig Sword, which was in a defensive stance.

When!

This Stone Pig Sword, forged by the Wild Boar Tribe using "heavy rock" as the Base Material for their elders... is broken!

"Petrified Skin"

Clang!

Cremation debris splashed.

Stone Pig Sword's parry blocked First Year the damage.

The remaining cutting power was just enough to cut through the Petrified Skin, without causing any damage to Cas.

Even Though so, the residual force from the slashing motion of the knife still forced Cas back more than ten steps.

Cas was slightly bewildered as he stared at his right hand, which was trembling and torn at the base of his thumb.

A faint Moonlight Imprint also appeared on Cas's neck... he was marked.

Of course, it was due to Cas's attention-grabbing ability.

This allowed Diana's Lethal Bone Arrow to strike Miles squarely in the temple... In terms of hardness, bone is even harder than steel, tearing the air apart during flight and also possessing a vortex force that enhances the piercing effect.

Sizzle!

The bone arrow hit its mark.

It felt like a drill bit hitting a concrete surface at a construction site.

Very reluctantly.

But it still pierced through the Skin Mask, the arrow penetrating about 5cm into the temple... This level of penetration was obviously not enough to kill, not to mention that this Hidden Resident's physical body was already the strongest.

But Diana's attacks were not over yet.

Her control over bones is more terrifying than anyone can imagine... Commander Kuran raised Diana as his adopted daughter not only because of her father, but more so because of Diana's own extraordinary talent.

"Bone Explosion"

Hold with your right hand.

The bone arrow hadn't been pulled out by Miles yet.

The surface of the arrow was covered with patterns that shimmered with a dark light.

Boom!

explode.

It wasn't just the impact of the explosion itself that caused the damage; the bone arrow itself also broke into small bone fragments, which, through the impact of the explosion, further pierced Miles ' skull... similar to the effect of a fragmentation grenade.

In the smoke from the explosion, Miles could be vaguely seen kneeling on one knee, injured.

Miles was injured (21%), and the participants were given two hours of safe rest.

Two hours later, Miles will randomly reappear in a moonlit area, activating [Demon Possession].

Remember: Every time you deal more than 10% damage to Miles, he will disappear into the moonlight, reappearing stronger than before after fully recovering... May the night pass quickly.

The smoke dissipated.

Miles, Hidden Resident of the Baseball Field, has disappeared.

"Is there such a twisted setting? As long as it's under moonlight, it disappears once it's injured? And then reappears in an even stronger form after fully recovering?"

Han Dong primarily focused on observation during this battle.

With his Lesser Demon Eye, Miles observed every movement of Hidden Resident' body, the flow of energy within him, and the threat and special effects of his attacks. Every detail was captured by Han Dong.

As for the execution that Togu emphasized, it may be related to the "Moonlight Mark".

Once hit, even a minor wound will leave Moonlight Mark on the target... Perhaps once the marks accumulate to a certain level, they can trigger an execution effect.

It could very likely cause us to die instantly.

Is this the power of "True Destiny"? If you were in the real Inside Derry Town, it would be impossible to fight against ten or even more Hidden Resident head-on.

The survival strategy in the "Inner Chapter" may require taking a different, special route.

"Nicholas, have you observed any important information?"

Cas stared at the broken "Stone Pig Sword" lying on the ground, his expression rather grim. He hadn't expected to face such immense pressure right from the start...

"Let's talk about it when we get back to the dorm..."

When Han Dong turned his head, he found Diana standing straight in place, somewhat dazed, muttering something to herself.

"Diana, she's gone!"

"...oh."

Diana face was equally somber, made a strange gesture, pressing her right hand against her left collarbone, as if trying to control some uncontrollable bony change within her body.
