Flowing Light pierced the sky.

The arrow struck its target with pinpoint accuracy.

"Crack!"

The Giant Snake's scales shattered; the attack directly broke the scales in that area, creating a vulnerable zone.

Although this was only a very small area for this enormous Giant Snake.

"Well done, Gowen."

"Elder sister."

This arrow completely depleted Gowen's remaining Nen, and surrounded by evil spirits, his physical strength also rapidly diminished.

At that moment, he felt only coldness in his body and weakness throughout his entire being.

All the illusory equipment on his body vanished completely.

In his confusion, Gowen seemed to see his older sister.

The sounds of laughter and joy from my childhood in the garden echoed in my ears.

It's not that he doesn't remember the time he spent with his sister, but he simply doesn't want to recall it, much less the cruel reality of her passing.

"You've grown up and become a true Knight."

"Yes, is that so?"

In his confusion, he seemed to see his sister standing right in front of him.

But as he tried to open his eyes, the figure gradually disappeared.

"Gowen, are you alright?"

Kevin then approached Gowen and forcefully swung his fist, dispelling the surrounding evil spirits.

He's started talking nonsense.

Gowen then came to his senses and tried to stand up, but found his whole body limp and powerless.

"Alright, that's it. You've done a fantastic job. Now leave the rest to me," Kevin said.

Gowen looked at Kevin and nodded.

Kevin picked up Gowen and, with a few leaps, placed him in a safe area.

Then, Kevin turned to look at the Giant Snake that was struggling and had slowly risen to its feet.

On the middle section of the Giant Snake, the only spot where a scale was broken was particularly conspicuous.

"Well done, Gowen! You're a true role model for the Knight!"

As the Giant Snake gradually regained control of its body, a swarm of evil spirits rushed in like a tide, clinging tightly to Kevin's body, frantically stimulating the Nen Aura surging from him, while also subtly draining his stamina.

Kevin had already realized that these evil spirits were essentially the souls of the villagers who had been Curse to death.

"You enslave souls, you deprive even the dead of peace! You are a beast, your crimes are utterly heinous!" Kevin was furious.

In the world and country he once lived in, only the most heinous criminals were expected to suffer unrest after death.

And this despicable beast not only Curse these villagers, but also caused their souls to be controlled by Resentment after death, turning them into this state.

Looking at these evil spirits, Kevin was filled with Mercy. Kindness spread with the Hot Wind.

"Rest in peace, all of you!"

Kevin thrust his palms forward with a vengeance, and a fierce Hot Wind, carrying with it goodwill, swept away.

The evil spirits swayed precariously in the scorching wind, eventually dissipating.

"Your turn is next, you beast! You're going to die today!" Kevin was furious, and extreme malice coiled around him with his Nen Aura.

"Wind Dance Coat!"

The energy swirling around him transformed into ribbons, draping over him and drifting freely.

The wind practically propelled Kevin forward, instantly pushing his speed to its limit.

In the blink of an eye, Kevin was in front of the Giant Snake.

The "Gift" that had been stored within Kevin was activated, and the resulting buff was pure.

It is power.

Pink energy seeped into his body.

"Get down on your knees!"

Kevin clenched his fists and slammed them down, like a heavy hammer crashing down on the Giant Snake's head.

The Giant Snake was instantly smashed to the ground, its head slamming deep into the earth, creating a large crater.

Falling from the sky, Kevin was like a nail, his legs slamming hard onto the Giant Snake's back.

Although the impact failed to break through the opponent's defenses, the powerful force still pushed the Giant Snake deeper into the ground.

"Hot Wind, pressurize!"

A large amount of hot wind wrapped around the Giant Snake, and layer upon layer of Hot Wind pressed down.

These Hot Wind swirled and swirled haphazardly, suppressing the opponent's movements.

Having just suffered multiple impacts, the Giant Snake was disoriented and unable to get up for a moment, only able to lash out wildly with its massive tail.

Kevin nimbly leaped away, his gaze fixed on the part of the Giant Snake whose scales had been shattered. His right palm was clenched together, and his whole body radiated scorching heat, even emitting steam.

A large amount of Nen Aura began to contract forcibly, and the temperature of the Nen Aura wrapped around his right hand rose sharply, distorting the surrounding air. The high temperature even caused a slight burn on Kevin's right cheek.

It should be noted that high-temperature Nen Aura can also resist high temperatures, and clearly, the temperature on his right hand was now far higher than that of other parts of his body.

This situation arises because the resistance is not uniform.

"Go to hell, you beast!"

"Sudden!"

The air was instantly torn apart, and the instantaneous speed seemed to plunge Kevin's world into silence.

His arm protruded like a sharp blade, piercing directly through the damaged areas of the scales, and the entire arm was deeply embedded in the Giant Snake's body.

A massive amount of Nen Aura was poured into the Giant Snake's body without regard for the consequences.

"Roar roar roar!"

This attack clearly struck a weakness in the Giant Snake struggled wildly, the Hot Wind swirling around its body unable to suppress it at all.

The Giant Snake lashed out at Kevin's back, unleashing a barrage of attacks Kevin from Resentment.

But Kevin did not back down, enduring all the attacks without flinching.

The clothing on his back was torn to shreds by the powerful impact, leaving numerous bruises on his skin.

The immense force struck, causing blood to trickle from Kevin's mouth, but it was all within his tolerance.

"You're going to die, struggle all you want, you bastard." Kevin felt utterly disgusted with this guy who toyed with souls and prevented the poor villagers from finding peace even in death.

Finally, Kevin's Nen Aura seemed to have completely shredded this part of the Giant Snake's body.

Although the wound was deep, it seemed insignificant in terms of size compared to the Giant Snake's enormous size.

However, it is clear that Gowen attacked a spot that is some kind of weakness of the Giant Snake. Although it is unknown how he determined it, it can be determined from the Giant Snake's reaction at this moment.

"I touched it. This Resentment is so strong, you're dead meat."

Kevin's injected Nen Aura extended outwards, and as the effects of the potion wore off, his extraordinary control over Nen Aura allowed him to immediately determine that he seemed to have found the core of the Giant Snake.

Enveloped in his Nen Aura, Kevin suddenly yanked, as if cutting off a power source.

The Giant Snake, which had been frantically whipping and struggling, suddenly collapsed to the ground, and the evil spirits that had not yet dissipated also vanished instantly.

Kevin forcefully pulled the object out of the Giant Snake's body. It was a palm-sized round bead covered with dense black stripes that formed various incomprehensible patterns, making it somewhat dazzling to look at.

The intense, condensed Resentment enveloped Kevin's hands like a swamp.

Kevin's arm began to shrink at an almost visible rate, as the Resentment frantically drained his Nen Aura and the Life Force in his hand.

The effects of the [Surging Potion] have worn off; this won't do.

Kevin hurriedly took out a spare potion, gulped it down, and simultaneously materialized Alchemy Table.

With time running out, Kevin didn't hesitate to place the white Orb with black patterns on the Gold Scale, and then took out the prepared auxiliary materials and Fusion Agent.

[Gold Scale: Resentment Snake Pearl (whole bead, 561 grams)]

[Silver Scale: Three-flower Thai Water Grass (dried - 15g)]

[Bronze Scale: Gold Vein Petal (dried - 10 grams)]

[Effect: The main ingredient is stored, perfectly preserved as a liquid.]

It's feasible, absolutely feasible.

"I absolutely love Melusina."

These are the ingredients Kevin had come up with earlier.

He had actually been thinking about this for a while, but to be honest, he hadn't found a suitable recipe before; he had only narrowed down the range of ingredients.

He pondered for a long time what materials to use and how to ultimately destroy and fuse the core of Resentment.

To be honest, with such precious materials, who would be willing to simply destroy them without gaining anything in return?

If possible, one should naturally strive for perfection.

Long ago, Kevin had planned to create a potion, essentially as a preparation for the future.

This was also the "Double Refinement" technique that Qiduo had previously proposed.

It must be admitted that some materials are only at their best under specific conditions, and some drying and grinding methods are truly a last resort, especially for those parts of organisms that have just been slaughtered.

Using excipients and Fusion Agent this way is fine, but it would be such a waste if the precious main ingredients lost their medicinal efficacy.

Therefore, Kevin has always wanted to create such a potion, with the aim of perfectly preserving the efficacy of the main ingredients, and even enhancing it to a certain extent.

This situation was urgent and pressing. Melusina had previously used her Nen ability to provide him with a solution.

However, due to the different main materials, some attempts succeeded while others failed.

So this was a risky attempt, but it's better than just gambling.

And now, he has succeeded.

With the potion ingested and his previous enhanced abilities, Kevin's potential energy temporarily increased to a mere 100,000.

Start making it.

Instantly, Kevin entered a state of focus.

"Kevin did it! Protect him!"

Kevin, who was sitting cross-legged beside the Giant Snake's body, was now in his most dangerous state, and this was also the crucial moment when Men Qi had to shoulder their heavy responsibilities.

"Griffin!"

Men Qi cried out, and a Griffin appeared before her, circling Kevin and tearing apart any creatures that tried to approach.

Production begins.

As if sensing a crisis, Resentment was making its last stand.

At this moment, the Village's Boundary had ceased to exist, and the Curse erupted wildly, but it quickly began to dissipate.

However, as the Curse dissipated after the potion was made, which would take some time, and with many villagers still present, the creatures that had been waiting outside, just as they had predicted, rushed into the Village in a frenzy.

These creatures were targeting not only the villagers, but also the corpse of the Giant Snake in the middle.

The Giant Snake's frantic actions before its death drove these creatures into madness as well.

The pent-up Resentment and gluttony that had accumulated throughout the Village and its surrounding area came into play at this moment.

"We're free! We can't fall at this last moment!" Rabik shouted, struggling to hold back the creatures.

The feeling of their internal Shackle breaking invigorated them.

The earthy atmosphere is rising like never before.

All the villagers were like they'd been injected with adrenaline, their morale soaring, and they fought even more frantically than the creatures themselves.

They were finally free; the Cage that bound them had vanished.

These damned beasts want to bring them down in the last moments before dawn? Absolutely not! Even in death, they want to enjoy this moment of freedom.

A mad will was also strengthening the aura within them.

"Let's drink, let's drink, let's celebrate!" The vagrant who had been acting crazy on the edge of the village went into an even more insane state.

He frantically sprayed the wine from his gourd, the strong smell of alcohol spreading all around. One after another, weak wild beasts collapsed, staggering as if drunk.

"Get out of my way! This old man still has some ruthlessness!" The Village Chief was also extremely agitated at this moment, using his cane like a baseball bat to beat the wild beasts incessantly.

His Nen ability seemed to be of the Transmutation Type. After striking with the baseball bat, his Nen Aura formed something like a soft whip, which made the creatures scream.

There were no scars, just pure pain.

With the Giant Snake no longer suppressing them, the white Python dragged Melusina to Kevin's side.

At this moment, Melusina's Nen Aura was extremely unstable, sometimes surging and sometimes weakening.

"Don't come near Kevin!"

A Giant Eagle swooped down from the sky at an incredible speed.

A Nen Beast dressed in a maid outfit, but with a body like a pure white doll, appeared in mid-air. It had fairy-like wings on its back and held an extremely exaggerated Meteor Hammer in its hand.

With a fierce swing, she sent the Giant Eagle flying.

[Love Staff Group]

This entirely new Nen ability has just emerged.

After the Giant Snake died, the Succession Ceremony ended, Melusina seemed to have broken free of some kind of lock; her Nen ability were inexplicably enhanced.

[Passionate Love Stage], an additional Nen ability was gained.

[Love Staff Group]

This ability can manifest four different Nen Beast dressed in maid outfits. They can exist permanently and assist Melusina in handling matters related to love.

The origin of this Nen ability essentially stems from Melusina's four best friends, the "Maid Corps".

Their attire, and even their height, corresponded perfectly to the Maid Corps.

"That looks like you," Lorraine said.

"Nonsense, I didn't say that!" the slightly shorter maid next to her retorted indignantly.

Lorraine glanced at the blood-stained Meteor Hammer in the other person's hand.

The effects of the Curse were fading rapidly, and in less than ten minutes, it would almost completely dissipate.

This means Kevin has succeeded. Even if he fails to concoct the potion now, the Giant Snake of Resentment will no longer be able to be reborn from its Resentment.

Some of the smaller wild animals seemed to have regained consciousness and began to scatter in all directions.

But the powerful beasts paid no heed to any of this and continued their rampage.

Even without the constraints of the environment, these humans still need to be killed.

Men Qi and Buhaci had already drunk the potent potion; their Nen Aura had been completely depleted, and they would be unable to continue fighting if they didn't drink the potion soon.

Biscuit was also somewhat disheveled at this point.

"They're all so big, it's such a hassle."

"Get out of the way!"

Men Qi shouted loudly from the sky.

But Biscuit was unable to break free at the moment. The mantis-like creature in front of her was wildly swinging its arms. If she gave up resisting and dodging, she would definitely be hit by the mantis's blade.

The other monsters charging towards her wouldn't give her a chance.

An exaggeratedly large wild boar charged recklessly, smashing off one of the mantis's arms and Biscuit flying in the process.

After Biscuit flew out, it crashed into a villager's house.

"Biscuit!" Men Qi shouted, his voice filled with worry.

She hadn't expected Biscuit to be knocked flying.

To be honest, although it was hard to say it outright, she felt that Biscuit's strength wasn't as great as she had imagined.

But neither she nor Buhaci could get away at this moment, Biscuit should also have the medicine that Kevin had prepared.

"Oh dear, I hate pigs the most."

Amidst the smoke and dust of the collapsed building, Biscuit's voice could be heard; it was still a clear, girlish voice.

But then, his voice suddenly turned rough. "You beasts, I really don't like looking like this!"

"Now you all have to apologize to me." The rough voice was filled with anger.

As the smoke cleared, a gigantic, muscular woman dressed in pink, though the clothes were clearly ill-fitting, appeared amidst the ruins.

"Ha!"

"Who are you?"

"You've transformed?"

"Oh my god!"

The surrounding villagers were stunned.

When they saw Biscuit being thrown into the air, they initially wanted to go in and rescue her, but when the dust settled, this was what they found.

The dramatic change left them stunned and unsure of what to do.

I've never seen anything like this before.

Men Qi in the sky had been watching this scene closely, and when she saw it, she was almost shocked out of her wits.

"What a perfect body," Xiahara exclaimed, looking at Biscuit.

In his view, this was simply the body's perfect sculpting of life.

Both being Enhancement Type Nen user, although Xiahara appears obese, the muscles hidden beneath his fat are absolutely exaggerated.

Therefore, he understood how much time and effort it would take for Biscuit a woman, to develop such a perfect physique, and how much willpower she would need to succeed.

At this moment, he was filled with utter Biscuit.

He truly lives up to his reputation as a seasoned Two-star Hunter.

Biscuit she faced the stares of those around her.

"That's why I hate this kind of situation the most."

"Atone with your death!"

Biscuit roared, her enormous size allowing her to run freely after her massive prey, as if they were nothing.

The battle ended quickly.

The giant beasts that had originally intended to charge forward scattered and fled without hesitation upon seeing this scene.

Biscuit grabbed a giant monster in each hand and tossed them around like toys, venting her rage.

"Horrible."

An angry woman.

That's even more terrifying.
