The area ahead was completely cleared.

Kevin looked at the Double-tailed Snake in the distance.

Compared to the giant creatures of the Dark Continent, the Double-tailed Snake's overall size actually doesn't seem that large.

This is certainly true, at least in the Dark Continent.

Its overall appearance resembles an enlarged version of Double-tailed Snake.

Even under these circumstances, Kevin continued to radiate kindness in a normal way.

Use spiritual messages to tell the other person that you have no malicious intent.

However, the only message this snake returned was one of pure malice.

It is extremely aggressive.

The tones of Hellbell rang out, wave after wave, and the Double-tailed Snake launched its attack.

The shockwave hit me.

Kevin could feel his body trying to sway with the fluctuations, but as the translucent Scale Armor covered his body, the swaying sensation vanished instantly.

"Bang!"

A loud cracking sound came from beneath his feet, but Kevin simply jumped lightly to dodge the attack from beneath his feet. It was a giant, twisted vine that had been coiled around him, and now the tip of the vine had turned into a grotesque, menacing maw.

It resembles a giant vine Giant Snake with mouthparts.

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

With his arms outstretched into palms, he swung them a few times, and Wind Blade formed from pure wind pressure severed these giant vine Giant Snake one by one.

It was just a vine, yet it writhed in agony like a living snake.

More giant vines Giant Snake emerged from the ground, along with root-like structures resembling large trees.

One after another, densely packed.

In no time, the entire ground cracked open.

The sound waves of the Hellbell are directed at living, Life Force beings.

If they could target inanimate objects, then the entire land would be under their control, but that's not the case.

Therefore, the goal is extremely clear.

Whether it's a living organism or a plant, under the control of sound waves, they will almost always be distorted into highly aggressive shapes.

It is characterized by mouthparts that are full of violence.

This expressiveness, combined with the Double-tailed Snake's unreasonable aggression, creates a mutually reinforcing effect.

This is an extremely aggressive creature.

This applies to both ability and performance.

It seems that peaceful coexistence is basically impossible, and the other party even lacks the desire to communicate.

The dense barrage of attacks made it difficult for Kevin to move, mainly because the attacks came one after another, clearly forcing Kevin to move away from his opponent.

Not good at close combat?

Wrong.

It's more likely a trap.

Although Kevin has not yet explicitly fought the Double-tailed Snake, judging from the injuries sustained by Buhaci...

The so-called Hellbell sound wave is not the opponent's main attack method; it is more of a large-scale "mowing" ability.

The closer you are, the more affected you are by the other person's ringtone.

The truly almost unsolvable attack is the two needles at the opponent's tail.

Once captured, it will be injected with a power similar to sound waves, and then it will transform into a form controlled by sound waves.

The entire process was extremely rapid.

Its primary means of attack is the stinger at its tail, which means that the Double-tailed Snake is not lacking in close combat ability.

From this perspective, the other party is not actually a being with a strong spiritual attribute.

Although the opponent's sonic attack resembled a mental attack, it did indeed require mental defense to withstand.

However, the opponent's main method of needle pricking is a very obvious physical attack.

This ability allows one to influence the Life Force of living beings, and to modify their bodies by polluting their Life Energy, thus bringing them under one's control.

Very obvious and extreme Manipulation Type.

The Six Nen Types are essentially applicable even in the Dark Continent.

The so-called flesh-and-blood creatures that are biased towards Life Energy do not mean that they are creatures that fight purely with strength.

This also implies a variety of bizarre abilities.

They are simply more pragmatic than spiritual beings.

If this Double-tailed Snake is a purely Spiritual Organism, then its main attack method should be entirely focused on the sound of bells.

The growth of two tails, each with spikes, is an illogical evolutionary process.

In the Dark Continent, creatures that can grow to the Lord Level do not have this obvious drawback; otherwise, they wouldn't have survived to this point.

Kevin has seen quite a few Lord Level creatures.

The only ones that can truly be considered Spirit-Type Creature are those Wearer Ghost.

Even the Resentful Eater Snake can only be considered biased, because the other party will return to flesh and blood during the growth process, and then give back to the venomous serpent.

However, if we're only talking about Lord Level creatures, then the Resentful Eater Snake can also be considered a purely Spirit-Type Creature.

Therefore, Kevin knew very clearly that the abilities of Spirit-Type Creature were of a more bizarre type.

The Double-tailed Snake's abilities are very straightforward.

When you assume that the Double-tailed Snake attacks by ringing its bell and is not good at close combat, and then force your way through to get close, you will clearly realize that you have fallen into a trap.

With that thought, Kevin stopped in his tracks.

The Mental Image is revealed from behind.

When it comes to battles at the Lord Level, Mental Image must reflect the required standard of combat strength.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to exert strong power at this level.

Using his Nen Aura ability, he conjured a sword in his hand.

Weapons also appeared in the Mental Image.

He swung his sword forward in unison, following Kevin's movements.

A massive sword aura, over ten meters long, shot out directly.

The Giant Snake formed from vines and tree roots that had burst from the ground were instantly severed, but even after being cut, these vine-formed monsters remained active. Their bodies changed, and they attacked Kevin along the ground.

The more you cut, the more enemies you encounter.

The Four-Armed Giant slammed the cauldron down, and the powerful suction force pulled all the small creatures inside.

The various monsters formed by the dense vines were sucked in, Mental Image a cauldron being carried, swayed twice before pointing the cauldron's mouth at the earth and splashing out.

Large amounts of murky green liquid were poured into the earth. Although this green Life Energy was extremely polluted, it was pure nourishment for the earth.

The Double-tailed Snake in the distance retreated, and more giant vine Giant Snake emerged from the earth.

The surrounding trees, twisted and twisted, rose from the ground.

The entire environment was under the control of the other party.

"Pretending to be something one way."

Kevin cursed, and another sword aura erupted.

He then stomped his body on the ground and charged forward along with the sword energy.

Sword energy cleared the way ahead.

Kevin easily passed through the encirclement and landed directly in front of the Double-tailed Snake.

The sword in the Cauldron-Carrying Giant's hand had vanished.

He clenched his fists and slammed them forward from his waist.

The Double-tailed Snake blocked the impact with one of its tails.

Meanwhile, the other tail suddenly lunged forward from the direction of the cover, moving with incredible speed, almost disappearing in the blink of an eye.

The spikes pierced Kevin's body.

However, Kevin was covered in thick Scale Armor, and there were layers upon layers of barriers in front of him.

The extremely fast spikes broke through the barrier in an instant, but were firmly blocked by the Scale Armor on Kevin's body.

"A treacherous thing."

Kevin cursed, then with his hands clenched into fists, Cauldron-Carrying Giant's tails with his bare arms and pulled it roughly.

He forcefully pulled the Double-tailed Snake up and slammed it backward.

Over-the-shoulder throw!

"Bang!"

With a deafening roar.

Large amounts of sand and dust shot directly into the sky, and the immense force poured onto the ground, causing the entire earth to shake.

This demonstrates just how powerful that strike was.

"Bang!"

Another loud bang.

"Holy shit!"

Kevin was caught off guard, and he and his Mental Image were slammed into the sky by the sudden attack.

Before Kevin could even adjust his posture while still in mid-air, he was blasted away by an invisible attack.

The powerful force sent Kevin flying a considerable distance.

It slammed hard into the ground, carving a long furrow, and finally stopped after smashing a huge rock behind it.

"Cough cough!"

Kevin scrambled to his feet amidst the smoke and dust, coughed violently a few times, and spat out several mouthfuls of blood.

He pressed his hand to his chest, grimacing slightly.

His body was still covered in thick Scale Armor.

"Powerful."

This attack was powerful.

It slammed into the Scale Armor with sheer force. Even though the Scale Armor were capable of distributing the force evenly, the impact was still enormous.

It directly injured Kevin's internal organs.

Keep in mind that Kevin is Enhancement Type.

The power of this strike was enough to demonstrate the opponent's exaggerated abilities.

Kevin wiped his mouth and looked ahead; the gust of wind had blown away all the sand and dust around him.

As for medicine, it is not necessary to use it for the time being, as it is only for internal organ injuries.

However, the opponent's attack was both sudden and powerful, leaving him no time to react defensively.

It was just a minor injury.

Just catch your breath.

Kevin stood up and looked ahead.

The Double-tailed Snake was also somewhat disheveled at this moment, but its vertical pupils revealed the other party's anger.

And what Kevin was caught off guard and sent flying into the sky was actually the ground itself.

The earth beneath his feet transformed into massive boulders, which suddenly surged upwards, slamming him against them.

"Inorganic substances are acceptable? Why?"

This was precisely the key reason why Kevin was caught off guard.

Before this, he had always assumed that the other party's Nen ability was the distortion and control of Life Energy.

Who would have thought that the other party could even manipulate inorganic matter?

These are completely different concepts.

The level of control over power has been elevated to a whole new level.

And the invisible impact force that just occurred in mid-air should, without a doubt, have been concentrated air.

Can you even manipulate the air?

Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?

Kevin looked at the other person, observed their movements, and suddenly he understood.

At this moment, the Double-tailed Snake was coiled on the ground, but the sharp spike of one of its tails was embedded in the earth.

The other tail rose upwards into the air, as if piercing through the void.

"So that's how it is; the spikes at the tail are the source of the control."

He touched his body.

Kevin just took the full force of the attack.

And it wasn't just him; the Mental Image behind him was also attacked.

[Blank Meteor]'s enhanced and sublimated abilities allow him to begin analyzing information during combat.

Undoubtedly top-tier Manipulation Type skills.

Upon observing the opponent's posture, Kevin had already pieced together the basics of the opponent's abilities.

Sound waves can only manipulate living things. Essentially, they use the power within sound waves to distort the Life Energy of the target, thereby altering its life form.

In order to achieve the purpose of manipulation.

The needles on the two tails provide the strongest control.

When it penetrates a living object, it has the effect of absolute control over distortion.

At the same time, by penetrating inorganic matter, it is possible to temporarily infuse the inorganic matter with Life Energy, thereby achieving the effect of distorting and controlling the other party.

During the recent battle, when Kevin slammed his opponent to the ground, the Double-tailed Snake immediately knew that his trap had been discovered.

His original intention was to end the fight once and for all by pricking Kevin with a needle.

As it turned out, Kevin's defensive capabilities were stronger than his offensive ones.

The layers upon layers of Scale Armor Barrier; their defensive capabilities are no joke.

This is Kevin's strength.

This forced the Double-tailed Snake to take the battle seriously and stop thinking about killing with a single blow.

He immediately began to demonstrate his true abilities.

"Moreover, the intensity exhibited by the inorganic matter controlled by the life force injected into the root of the opponent far exceeds the intensity controlled by sound waves."

"If the needles at the tail were to pierce the enhanced form of a living being, the enhancement would likely be even more dramatic."

However, judging from its life habits, it is a highly aggressive creature.

This brutal creature probably won't leave many other living beings' corpses for him to control.

Is it because of the Restriction of life form that the other party's abilities are also so powerful?

So-called Bargain and Vow are essentially the fundamental rules of the world.

The same applies to the powerful life forms on these Dark Continent.

At this moment, the Double-tailed Snake's hostility and murderous intent spread rampantly.

The aura of Lord Level creature caused an invisible gale to rise around it.

Are you angry?

Kevin muttered to himself.

I couldn't help but tense up.

One of the Double-tailed Snake's stingers was aimed at Kevin, forcing Kevin to back away.

However, nothing happened.

"Some kind of threatening action?"

But no sooner had he finished speaking than Kevin's eyes widened in shock; he couldn't move.

Wrong.

This feeling is all too familiar.

Time.

The other party controlled the time.

The most cutting-edge capability in the Manipulation Type: Time Manipulation!

Then, Kevin saw that the other tail needle had pierced his body.

Then the snake began to move, not very fast, but like an ordinary snake swimming, slowly approaching him.

Kevin's brain was working at lightning speed.

I can still think, but my movements are frozen, no—

It's not that the movement froze.

My time wasn't imprisoned; rather, the time around me was.

His eyes clearly saw that the surrounding air was filled with things that looked like scattered gas.

It's the snake's own Life Energy.

The Life Energy was used to activate the surrounding space in order to control time in a certain area.

Kevin could feel that he was able to move his limbs, but the feeling of strain came from external pressure.

External time was frozen, so his movements were like plunging his hands into thick mud, each step a struggle against the flow of time around him.

However, such a confrontation is meaningless, as the speed is uniform.

This can be judged by breathing. Taking deep breaths doesn't allow enough air to flow into the body quickly; instead, it slowly, almost like glue, seeps into the body.

It's as if time around me has been slowed down, creating the illusion that I'm trapped.

Based on Kevin's understanding of Time System abilities, he immediately understood what the other party was doing.

One tail pointing towards oneself is controlling the time in a certain area around oneself, while the other tail stuck in one's body is accelerating oneself.

Yes, this is time control over the entire area, and even the area itself is affected.

Therefore, the other tail piercing its own body is to accelerate itself in order to counteract this gap.

Sharp.

Kevin is now truly witnessing the strength of his opponent.

As expected of Lord Level creature.

However, this isn't something you can just play with.
