Hanging Force

Black Stone underwent a harrowing journey through death and rebirth within the cycle illusion.

As he battled Wolf Shadow, although he gradually figured out a few tricks, he soon discovered something utterly terrifying.

That was—Wolf Shadow was siphoning away his strength.

Beginning with the fifth cycle.

Black Stone noticed that each time he died, he grew a little weaker. Both his strength and reaction speed declined slightly.

He also had an exceptionally strong premonition that if this continued, he would truly die, and the strange cycle would come to an end.

It terrified Black Stone to the extreme.

After all, who wasn't afraid of death?

Especially since he had rendered many meritorious services in battle and had just been promoted by the Colonel to squad leader. A bright future lay right before him.

During the eighteenth cycle.

Black Stone felt increasingly weak. The instant Wolf Shadow charged at him, he failed to adjust his gun barrel in time.

As Wolf Shadow raced toward him, he fired four consecutive shots, but only one hit.

It had to be said.

In his best previous cycle, three out of four shots had struck their target.

Black Stone's heart instantly sank to the bottom.

I'm finished! A few seconds later.

Wolf Shadow pounced at him menacingly, opening its jaws to bite the firearm in his hands.

Black Stone could not react in time and could only watch helplessly as the magic musket was bitten.

Wolf Shadow jerked its head hard, wrenching the magic musket away, then flung it into the distance.

Black Stone despaired.

This was the first time his weapon had been taken from him.

Wolf Shadow quickly circled halfway around him before leaping forward.

Unable to dodge in time, Black Stone could only use his right hand to block the wolf's jaws
