86 Vivid Demon Iron Monarch (Part 2)
The arrogant remark did not anger Andrew. He coldly stared at the hideous figure in the smoke and dust, and suddenly asked, "How much?"
"Ha, what is he saying?"
A voice came from the blade, asking Jannia in Li Aoz.
Before Li Aoz explain, Andrew continued:
"How about a one million Ammonium Gold annual salary to have you temporarily assigned to Verrazzi?"
His words drew sidelong glances from the Verrazzi employees around him.
"This won't do!!"
"He's not worth that much money."
"Young Master Andrew! He's only a Gamma-rank— "
Jannia clicked her tongue as she looked at the sword.
Despite the group's attempts to dissuade them, not a single one questioned the appropriateness of using "last-minute bribery" as a tactic.
"Superficiality, whatever means you use to hurt me, is far superior to that of you bunch of good-for-nothings!"
Andrew berated the people next to him, then looked at Li Aoz: "Your biological frequency indicates that your physical body is still very young. Heh, young, strong, you have a bright future—listen, kid, I don't care what your reasons are, as long as you are willing to stop attacking and serve me, I am willing to pay you the corresponding reward."
"Young Master Andrew— "
"Shut up." Andrew glared at his subordinate.
These idiots are so used to bullying the natives of Valenkov that they've even assimilated their intelligence.
They didn't even think to consider that the company building's defense system had been so easily breached, and that even they, protected by extraordinary divine power, would be injured as a result—did they really think this was just a mere Gamma-rank?
Biological frequency bands are the only credential for identifying the level of one's spiritual path. Any extraordinary person can detect it with just a little sense, and it is almost impossible to forge.
However, the fact that it is almost impossible to forge does not mean that there is no possibility of forging it.
If these idiots had even a modicum of reverse thinking, they would know that someone with such destructive power would possess a wealth of technology and treasures. To say nothing of anything else, the strange magical sword he wields is the best proof of that.
Look at how Kailai and Martin are so on edge, it's ridiculous.
As a capitalist, why resort to violence when money can solve everything? He straightened his collar and said calmly, "Martin."
The Steel Elf stepped forward, arrogant and haughty, looking down at Li Aoz with an almost disdainful air, and said smugly:
"Let me introduce you, though you might not understand yet, and you might even be a little skeptical—standing before you is the young master of the Verrazzi Company, the heir to the lordship of the Eoxyst Star Ring, a rising star of the ' United Company,' and the possessor of the blessing of Red King, the Plunder Soul, Andrew Verrazzi— "
Whoosh! The smoke dissipated, and the cold, sharp blade gleamed with magical light, slashing straight at Andrew.
"Protect Young Master Andrew!"
Kailai instantly stepped forward, his company uniform unfolding into a tight-fitting nanotech armor. He channeled his energy, and his muscles swelled up like inflating balloons. As Martial Artist —an advanced class of the Crane School of the Destruction type—his body was honed through countless trials, allowing him to perfectly and precisely control the movement and tension of every muscle group, large and small.
Bang! The sword blade wrapped in red lightning was kicked away. Kailai clenched his fist and stepped forward, his acupoints automatically activating his super armor.
He ruthlessly tore through the smoke and dust, raised his arms, and with the force of two gusts of wind piercing his ears, smashed down on both sides of the enemy's head.
"Quz'o sava (Elfic: Barbarian)!"
The Steel Elf Martin Chamberler muttered something, then raised his hands, his magic power transforming into magnetism, surging and tilting, and immediately ejected compressed metal spheres from his body. These metal spheres, guided by mechanical magnetism like liquid, formed a dark vortex in mid-air, and then transformed into dozens of willow-leaf-shaped floating blades.
"Oh, [Mechanic Envoy]?"
Li Aoz slightly surprised, as this was a rare highly mobile profession among the [Mechanic] class.
However, considering that the other party is Steel Elf known for its affinity with mechanics and industry, it's understandable.
The next moment, the Fighter's two fists slammed directly into Li Aoz's temples, sending his body flying. While he was still tumbling in mid-air, countless floating blades rained down like a storm, colliding and cutting at high speed along the gaps in his armor, sparking dazzling sparks.
At this point, everyone, including the director Verrazzi, breathed a sigh of relief.
'Thankfully, these two intervened.'
The two Zeta-rank attackers instantly launched an attack, creating absolute suppression. With just one more strike, they could eliminate their opponent.
—or so?
Li Aoz managed to raise his blade to parry the floating blades, but two fists are no match for four hands. Under Chandler's precise control, his body was cut open, cleaved, and pinned to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, Kailai accelerated, charging straight at Li Aoz like a cruiser, and threw a punch at him.
Boom! Li Aoz's head was instantly crushed. Under the terrifying power wielded by Kailai as a [Fighter], his head was squeezed and shrunk at almost the speed of light. The high-speed friction and the process generated a large amount of heat.
Under high pressure and high temperature, Li Aoz's head was twisted into a diamond the size of a thumb.
"This is what happens when you provoke the company!"
Snap! Kailai grabbed his head, turned around, and expressionlessly displayed the diamond that Li Aoz had transformed into to everyone.
What a shocking massacre! — Li Aoz couldn't help but exclaim.
The Zeta-rank powerhouse was indeed terrifying. Not only did it break through the gravity shield, but it also shattered the armor he had been building up for so long. Even the remaining power of the Zeta-class powerhouse cleanly wiped out his 17,400 health points, leaving him in a near-death state.
They even ripped his head off and shaped it into a diamond.
Just one move.
This is the [Fighter]! This is the [Destruction-type! Pure violence, ferocious and domineering power, every punch feels real, a powerful path that gets your blood pumping.
Exhilarating, magnificent, and exhilarating!
That's why so many people like the "Martial Artist" class and its subsequent professions.
Unfortunately, Li Aoz didn't have a brain.
[Death Link]
Li Aoz gently beckoned with his finger. Kailai's body stiffened instantly, and he clearly felt a sudden, intense chill creeping over him.
"Kailai!"
Chandler promptly warned him. Kailai quickly gathered his strength and activated his protective aura.
However, no matter how fast his strength was, it couldn't match the instantaneous triggering of Aoneng.
No other class Aoneng's trigger speed!
Li Aoz's blue nerve tendrils struck first, piercing into Kailai's body before the aura could rise.
Sever Life
The curse that forbids recovery was instantly cast, Li Aoz pulled hard, ruthlessly extracting a portion of life from the opponent.
His body regenerated at high speed in an instant, and Chandler acted in time. The floating blades, imbued with mechanical magnetic force, slashed down and severed Li Aoz's left and right arms.
"Hmph!"
At the same moment, Kailai felt a sharp pain in both arms, and clear blue blood immediately seeped from his shoulders.
"Kailai!" Chandler exclaimed in surprise. "How could this be? Where did the attack come from!?"
Blood of Immortality
Suddenly, the headless and armless Li Aoz rose up and floated into the air. Under everyone's watchful eyes, his skeleton was instantly reconstructed, his nerves and blood vessels intertwined, and he was covered with layers of flesh and skin plates. In an instant, he was resurrected.
"Haven't you seen me before? I am immortal."
Li Aoz touched his neck, the purple glint in his golden eyes gradually fading. With a casual wave of his hand, Jannia, who had fallen to the ground, immediately returned to his grasp. He had just raised his head and hadn't even had a chance to say another word when Kailai and Chandler attacked simultaneously, slamming down on him.
At the same time, outside the shattered window, the rescue team arrived in time, picked up their plasma cannons, and aimed them at Li Aoz.
[Death Link]
Li Aoz crocheted with both hands, instantly linking everyone present together.
Andrew snorted coldly, and a supreme will erupted from his body, shattering the link mark.
"Die!"
Kailai punched Li Aoz in the chest, then took three steps back. A company executive next to him, who was connected to the link, immediately collapsed and died.
"Oh?"
Andrew was slightly surprised. "The ability to transfer damage—you guys retreat quickly to avoid being affected."
With Andrew's approval, the company's executives immediately began an orderly evacuation under the protection of the Security Department.
"You've angered the company; you're not leaving today!"
Chandler's blades moved swiftly, continuously cutting and tearing apart Li Aoz's battered body, but with each slash, fine, bloody cuts appeared on Li Aoz's skin.
"Damn it!" Chandler slumped his shoulders, his forehead covered in sweat. He glanced in horror at his colleague, who was covered in knife wounds, and cursed, "What the hell is that?"
"Fire!"
Sensing that its own side had been damaged, the hovering fighter outside the window immediately targeted Li Aoz and pulled the trigger.
Seeing this, Kailai and Chandler shouted in unison:
"--Don't!"
Da da da da da!
The plasma beams were compressed into a thin laser line, and each shell hit Li Aoz precisely. Under such intense firepower, even though most of the projectiles were distorted and dispersed by gravity, Li Aoz's body was still hit repeatedly in the barrage.
Upon realizing the protective effect of the gravitational turbulence, Li Aoz immediately withdrew the gravity as well.
Bang bang bang bang!
His body was engulfed by the Plasma Guns and Cannons.
Thump, thump, thump! "Director Mel!?"
"Mr. Raven has collapsed! What happened?!"
"Ms. Nuria has lost vital signs! We have not found the source of the attack! The VIPs have suffered heavy losses!"
"Ceasefire."
Andrew raised his hand, signaling the attack aircraft to cease fire.
"So that's how it is. You refused my offer of amnesty and voluntarily abandoned your defenses. So you came here with the intention of 'destroying the Verrazzi Company ' from the very beginning?"
Kailai and Chandler dared not launch another attack.
They simply couldn't understand it. Every attack they launched could have crushed this bastard, yet he always managed to get back up.
In the end, only their colleagues and friends will be hurt.
However, while they were wary of harming others, Li Aoz had no such wariness.
