Victory or Defeat

The feeling of having your tentacles cut off is truly unpleasant.

Not to mention the numerous tentacles that make up the Dog Head, which were simply severed, causing Han Dong to writhe and convulse on the ground in pain...

Ha ha ha ha!

However, during the convulsions, Han Dong, with his black lips, laughed maniacally.

The pain on a spiritual level was forcibly suppressed by the "maniacal laughter".

Of course, such laughter immediately aroused the hatred of the ten demons watching the battle.

"Virus carrier!"

The Crooked Man had already held the umbrella over his head, and a terrifying Pyramid Head dragging a heavy sword had appeared behind Alesha.

Only the town mayor could see through all of this. He could tell that Han Dong was not affected by the Mad Laughter Virus, and that his laughter originated from another force.

With a wave of his hand, a dark warning line appeared in front of the townspeople, indicating that they should not panic.

"Once the Mad Laughter Virus is activated, the process cannot be stopped until the individual is completely transformed into the Joker... However, this young man is different."

As expected.

As the pain lessened and completely disappeared, Han Dong's maniacal laughter ceased.

Slowly sit up.

Staring at Huo Ziping, who was sitting cross-legged not far away, with his hands suspended above his dantian, circulating his True Qi to expel impurities from his body.

"A mental strike every 153 seconds... Just now, it must have been the instant the cooldown ended, that mental Sword Slash was delivered immediately, otherwise I wouldn't have taken the damage."

If it takes this long, it becomes a little simpler.

"Sword cultivators" are inherently the most offensively capable individuals, with all their points invested in attack. Combined with such talent, they are truly difficult to deal with in a one-on-one fight.

Moreover, my body couldn't withstand the pressure of death for very long, nor could I allow Huo Ziping to be subjected to too much death.

There's still a lot to do... let's try this method.

When the "Faceless Head" was only LV.2, Han Dong had already conceived a "basic blueprint" in his mind, but he was unable to realize it due to the number of tentacles and control issues.

This vision aims to enhance one's "one-on-one" capabilities.

So that when in the Destiny Space, or when encountering a demon alone outside the city, one can use this to escape or directly kill the enemy.

after all.

The Crow Caller Staff is suitable for commanding armies.

Area-of-effect black sand and Crow Magic are more suited to groups... making them more suitable for Han Dong to launch Deed War outside the city, or to carry out large-scale activities similar to knight expeditions.

So, how should a mage enhance their individual combat skills?

Han Dong considered following the path of Demps.

However, it was discovered that while practicing multiple types of magic and plagues, and also managing the Lesser Demon Eye, Contained Object, and experiments, it would be truly overwhelming to also focus on physical training and weapon familiarization.

therefore.

Han Dong focused his efforts on improving his "individual Combat Power" on G-Virus.

It's not enough to just let G fully unleash his physical abilities; he also needs to fully cooperate with the Abyssal Transformation... Of course, to achieve this perfectly, Han Dong also needs a perfect body.

Currently, only one attempt is allowed.

"Earl, prepare to fight..."

Under the [Talent Tree - Smiley Face], Han Dong ate several bright red fruits in succession so that his physical body could continue to maintain the form of "Death Crow Man".

The person squatted down with their knees bent.

The Crow Feather Bone Wings slowly folded in, section by section.

Then the bone wings fully unfolded and slammed down forcefully.

A ripple of air spread across the ground, stirring up a large amount of black sand.

Han Dong shot straight up, leaping nearly 100 meters into the air.

"Abyssal Transformation. Full Coverage"

Centered on the head, countless fine tentacles wriggle rapidly under the skin, covering and even replacing some muscle tissue... While the exterior remains largely unchanged, many internal tissues are replaced by the tentacles.

If someone could see into Han Dong's body, they would surely discover that his Abyssal Transformation had reached approximately 30%.

at the same time.

A gigantic, Hundred-Eyed Blood Hound almost formed a separate entity, encircling Han Dong (connected to Han Dong's arm only by its tail).

Its overall length exceeds four meters... It's like a pet that Han Dong carries around with him.

"Warning! Warning! The current torso (of inferior quality) is unable to withstand the burden of the high density of tentacles. Maintaining this state will result in permanent disintegration of the torso within ten minutes, rendering it unusable."

Han Dong remained completely unmoved by such a suggestion.

"Huo Ziping... come on."

Click~ crunch crunch!

The nails of all five fingers on his right hand were pierced, and five tentacles emerged from the inside.

They clung to the surface of the Crow Caller Staff, wrapping around it.

Caw! Accompanied by the shrill cry of the Staff Head on the staff, the next Dark Magic was enhanced - "Spell Level +1" and "Amplified by 30%".

A Dark Magic circle formed at the tip of the staff.

Ravens made of black Sand Crystal swarmed out from between the magic circles, each possessing the characteristics of "automatic target acquisition" and "death attack".

At the same time, each crow has more or less antennae on its body, ranging from half a meter to two meters in length.

Hundreds of them, extremely difficult to avoid.

Currently, Huo Ziping's physical injuries have not fully healed.

"Team leader!!"

Just as the Longcheng players on the sidelines were worried about it.

"Return to its sheath".

Huo Ziping chose to sheath the Dragon Sword and made a gesture as if drawing a sword.

At the same time, press down on your waist and abdomen.

Let the Fine Threads between the end and the top of the spine point straight to Han Dong in the sky... The dragon sword, which has been sheathed, is also parallel to this line.

"Imperial Borrowing"

A secret cultivation method unique to Dragon City, which allows one to borrow the power originating from the demon within the body for a short period of time without being corrupted or eroded.

However, the body will have to endure twice the pressure.

Numerous veins appeared and protruded on Huo Ziping's body, and his flesh gradually took on a reddish hue...

Hiss!

High-pressure white gas was squeezed out from between Huo Ziping's teeth.

"Secret Technique: Dragon Flash Six Turns"

The step and the drawing of the sword occur at the same moment.

The terrifying speed burst forth, directly causing the space to tremble, and a few traces of dragon flame remained where the feet took their first step.

Whoosh!

Six afterimages lingered in the air.

Large numbers of crows and their tentacles were killed in the blink of an eye.

However, damage was not completely avoided.

A few stains and signs of decay from being pecked by crows were left on Huo Ziping's body.

He paid this price to get close enough to let Han Dong into his attack range.

With each breath, the dragon flames burning on the sword intensified, increasing both attack range and burning intensity.

Determined to win.

Huo Ziping did not hesitate for a moment despite the pain, immediately launching a super-fast slash while anticipating Han Dong's short-distance Spatial Transfer.

That is, at the moment the sword blade strikes.

Instead of dodging, Han Dong stored his staff inside his body to enhance the spell's effect and damage.

"Arcane Technique: Black Crystal Tentacles"

Perfect Fusion of external abilities and Dark Magic...

The thick tentacles that emerge from between the fingers immediately harden and Transform Into "claws," with perfectly hexagonal Sand Crystal densely arranged on the surface of the tentacles for further reinforcement.

Ding ding ding...

The blade and the claws clashed repeatedly.

Sparks flew through the air... Sand Crystal encased in dragon flames and shattered tentacles fell continuously to the ground.

Even Though such sturdiness, Huo Ziping was still able to cut it.

However, severing the tentacles takes time. Han Dong suppressed the Affliction of the broken tentacles by laughing wildly, allowing the tentacles to continue growing and maintaining the integrity of the "claws".

Huo Ziping, with his absolute single-target sword skills, focuses on offense and absolute suppression.

Han Dong, with his Demon Eye's ability to see through things and the absolute defense provided by his numerous tentacles, focuses on defense and seizing opportunities.

"Time's up... it's coming."

Han Dong calculated the cooldown time of the "sword intent" that could not be seen or perceived... At the Joints moment, a tentacle secretly grew rapidly from his elbow and circled around Huo Ziping's back from the side.

"Void Transfer"

Set the cooldown timer correctly.

A glimmer of starlight flashed, Han Dong had already closed in behind Huo Ziping, instantly disrupting the rhythm of the battle.

An invisible sword intent cleaved through the air from where it had originally been.

Even Though so... Huo Ziping did not hesitate for a moment.

Using the force of his sword swing, he turned around and slashed at Han Dong behind him.

but.

Han Dong's hand was already on the back of Huo Ziping's head... The dragon sword, which was still two inches away from Han Dong, hovered in the air.

The number engraved on the hilt has changed - '9:1'
