I'm Not a Flame-Chaser - Chapter 598

However, the next second, her eyes widened.

"Whoosh..."

Some dark gold threads gently wrapped around her arm, securing the flawless azure gemstone to her wrist.

The "human" opened its eyes. The pupils that were originally one rainbow and one black were gone, replaced by dark golden beast eyes that were quietly set in their sockets, like two magnificent gems.

Dark gold threads burrowed into the "human's" pores, continuously weaving tough keratin to replace his original skin. His cheeks and neck were covered with the dark gold keratin, and even the muscles on his wrists were replaced by pure color. His five fingers, covered with threads, became longer and eventually transformed into beast-like claws.

At the end of his short, jet-black hair, silk threads were attached, as if extending the strands of hair. Long hair, mixed with black, dark gold, and iridescent colors, cascaded down his back like a waterfall.

He looks more like a beast than a human.

"Let's go."

He uttered an ethereal and dreamlike voice, as if it came from all directions.

Gently push "Seele" aside, and push her towards the entrance of the World Bubble.

"Why?"

The brutal expression on Seele's face faded, and she stared blankly at the man who had taken back the Herrscher Core then handed it back to her. She couldn't understand it, but deep inside, something was calling out to her, tearing her heart apart.

Driven by some instinctive urge, she reached out to the untouchable person.

Just like 50,000 years ago, we can no longer reach out and hold hands.

"I told you I would take you home to find your family." The man turned to face his unwavering friend and said calmly, "Goodbye, it's nice to see you again..."

"Seele".

A voice traveled through fifty thousand years to reach the girl's ears. She opened her eyes wide and reached out her hand to his retreating figure.

Reach out to that figure from my memory.

"Forest--"

The undelivered call was swallowed by the World Bubble, and the girl disappeared into this nothingness without even a ripple.

The man raised his chin, his dark golden beastly eyes fixed on Kevin.

He stretched out his hand, and threads emerged from the keratinous substance covering his claws, appearing delicate yet exuding a peculiar "sharpness."

"... Is this the choice you made, Lin?" Kevin murmured softly.

"Come on, Kevin."

Human beings.

Monster.

He raised his arm and, as an anonymous man, pointed directly at the lonely savior.

New Testament: Afterword of the Dirac Sea: Chapter 123 The Blood of the Savior

Lin felt an unprecedented sense of ease, as if the heavy shackles had been removed, giving both his mind and body a feeling of lightness. Even the gap that had previously caused his body to be unable to keep up with his consciousness was eliminated.

It's as if he is now the most authentic and original Lin.

But Lin knew this wasn't his feeling, but rather the instinct of the Honkai Beast within him that had been reborn through his body.

Wasak.

It was currently inside Lin's body, shaking the sea of blood and roaring.

Mobius obtained a technology called "Artificial Collapse" for Flame-Chaser from the person who possessed Lin's body, and through experiments, she mastered this state that could fully activate the Honkai Beast genes within the Flame-Chaser.

In the 10th Honkai, Kosma also entered a state where it almost completely became Honkai Beast.

The so-called Flame-Chaser is actually the form of a human body after a part of Honkai Beast is integrated into it. Compared to a pure human, it is closer to a human and Honkai Beast coexisting in one body and maintaining a balance.

After the surgery, the Flame-Chaser has already taken the first step in transforming into Honkai Beast, and the second, third and so on will naturally not be too difficult.

The Artificial Collapse is the final step in completely siding with the Honkai Beast.

The once earth-shattering, cataclysmic superior Honkai Beast have been completely reborn.

Lin's consciousness was extremely clear, and his senses were enhanced to the extreme at this moment. A large amount of information that ordinary humans could not perceive entered his mind. He calmly and composedly stared at Kevin not far away, his dark golden beast eyes swirling rapidly.

Kevin didn't seem particularly surprised. He knew that if Lin was determined to stop him, he would definitely use Artificial Collapse. Only in this state could Lin possess the power to rival Kevin.

Lin chose this narrow crevice as the battleground because he wanted to eliminate all unnecessary information; it was the best location for him to fight.

"Boom!"

Without warning, Lin's figure twisted on the retina, leaving only an unreal afterimage, while he himself appeared in front of Kevin!

"Bang!"

The two attacked so fast that the process was impossible to see. They both retreated, and before Kevin could regain his footing, Lin spun in the air as if he were walking on air and rushed forward, closing in on Kevin again. His hand, which had transformed into a claw, stabbed towards Kevin's face!

Kevin's pupils contracted slightly, and with a flick of his right hand, a black ice, deeper than the night, pierced out from his palm and struck Lin's hand!

"Bass!"

Lin's eyes darkened, and his dark gold arm suddenly clenched, crushing the black ice that was about to bind him into dust!

After the freezing point dissipated, Kevin began to unleash a barrage of punches!

"Bang, bang, bang—"

Their fists clashed and separated rapidly, each punch containing the energy to shatter a mountaintop. This pure contest of strength, which ended in a draw, was merely an appetizer in their battle.

Lin's pupils suddenly ignited, and the parts of his body covered with dark golden keratin extended thin, thread-like substances, which then stabbed at Kevin 'Kevin vital points in the instant of their confrontation!

"Sizzle—sizzle—"

The silk threads, as soft as SiZhi, easily tore through the Honkai Energy barrier around Kevin, slicing through his clothes and muscles like a blade, instantly staining his body with blood!

Moreover, these seemingly living threads are not just "cutting," they are even frantically targeting Kevin's pores, trying to burrow into his body!

Kevin's eyes narrowed, and the black ice instantly froze the dark gold threads. But the next second after they were frozen, the threads broke free of the ice and continued to attack Kevin's body!

This is... Lin's body tissue?

These thread-like substances are reminiscent of Shesa, the Judgment-class Honkai Beast that merged with Mebius. Shesa could also control black liquid to hunt. Are these threads the attack methods of the Honkai Beast named Vasak?

"Bump!"

With a muffled thud, Kevin pushed Lin back with increased force, then waved his right hand, freezing all the threads that were chasing him into a huge block of ice. He then condensed an ice spike at his fingertip and shot it into the block. The entire block of ice crumbled from the inside out into ice crystals smaller than grains of rice, and the threads that were frozen inside were also shattered!

The remaining ice crystals, under Kevin's control, transformed into enormous, missile-like ice spikes that shot through the air and hurtled towards Lin!

Lin flipped in mid-air, her long hair, composed of dark gold, iridescent and black, whipping out from behind her. As the giant black ice cone approached, each strand of hair sliced it into tiny ice points that were invisible to the naked eye at a speed more terrifying than a thread.

Kevin frowned, and Lin's long hair gradually retreated behind him, returning to its feather-light state. Lin looked at him with a calm expression.

Vassak, a moth chasing fire, is considered by researchers to be the most mysterious Honkai Beast. Its troublesome nature even surpasses that of Shesa, a higher-level Judgment-class Honkai Beast that appeared during the Third Honkai Impact. The casualties it has caused are among the highest of all Honkai Beasts to date. This is not because it contains more Honkai energy than other higher-level Honkai Beasts, nor because its destructive power is unparalleled, but because it has a special ability derived from the Second Herrscher.

Before Lin defeated Wasak, Moth of Fire once believed that it was a Honkai Beast without a physical form.

"Whoosh."

Lin's eyes shone with a dark golden light, which was dazzling even if one did not pay attention to it in this empty space.

Immediately afterwards, Kevin showed a look of surprise for the first time.

The long-haired figure vanished from his feet into particles in this empty space.

Disappeared?

It wasn't that the speed was so fast that Kevin couldn't see it clearly; even at high speeds, there would still be a trail, but Kevin didn't capture that kind of trace.

Could it be a kind of ability to manipulate Imaginary Energy and Imaginary Space, similar to Phase Shift?

However, Kevin had been able to sense the fluctuations of the Imaginary Space for 1,500 years in the Quantum Sea, and the Honkai Energy when using Imaginary Energy could not be concealed, yet he could not sense Lin's presence at all.

"Bass!"

It happened so suddenly!

There was absolutely no time to react. The blade woven from long hair appeared out of the void as if it were a series of connected fragments, and then slashed into Kevin's waist and abdomen!

This is...

There was no time to think. In an instant, the physical body was no match for the unknown blade. There wasn't even a sound of it being cut, as if it had sliced through space itself!

Just before the terrifying blade was about to cleave Kevin in two, he decisively pulled back, withdrawing the blade from his body, and blood spurted from the wound that had almost torn half of his body apart!

"Kevin, will the blood of the savior freeze?"

The man who reappeared shook the frozen blood off his long hair, his face absolutely flawless, without a trace of emotion.

His dark golden eyes burned silently.

New Testament: Afterword of the Dirac Sea: Chapter 124 See you tomorrow, my friend

"Bass!"

Wound.

"Bass!"

Blood.

"Bass!"

Kevin blocked the blade from behind with his wrist, the sparks illuminating the chaotic space. However, the blade woven from his long hair instantly dispersed after being blocked, splitting into two halves, absorbing the light, and piercing Kevin's shoulder and chest in an instant!

Even with his body pierced through, Kevin remained unmoved. He grabbed the long hair that was embedded in Lin's body and swung it around, sending Lin flying. Then he raised his hand and aimed it at Lin as he flew away.

"Kara..."

A chilling, soul-piercing sound emanated from Lin's body and entered his ears.

Lin tried to dodge, but it was too late.

"Splash!"

In less than half a breath, Lin was completely sealed inside a block of black ice!

Even after witnessing Lin being frozen solid, Kevin remained unfazed. He calmly watched Lin in the black ice, and the flesh around the wounds on his body twitched and then healed completely in the blink of an eye.

This level of activity is not even considered a wound for activated Hyper-Evolution Factor, and it is the same for Lin now. Even though Lin's Hyper-Evolution Factor are usually latent, at this moment his Hyper-Evolution Factor have been activated by at least 70%, and half of his body has already turned into Honkai Beast.

Her azure eyes were intently observing the man frozen in ice.

What exactly are Lin's Flame-Chaser abilities?

Wasak is a familiar of the Second Herrscher, and his abilities may also be related to manipulating Imaginary Space. However, no one knows what Wasak's abilities are yet. The report Lin gave after defeating Wasak is quite different from the strange abilities he has actually displayed. Apart from Lin, no other Flame-Chaser has successfully fused with Wasak's genes.

A Honkai Beast so mysterious that only humans have given it a name.

However, since Lin was able to defeat Wasak back then, it means that abilities can be broken, and Kevin's combat intuition is even sharper than Lin's.

However, another Kevin situation arose: the man, who had been trapped in the extremely cold black ice and unable to move, trembled slightly and broke free from the ice.

The black icicles were intact, and Lin was also unharmed. In the dark golden beast eyes, Kevin saw his own reflection.

He thought of a word.

Ghost.

Why can one cross ice? Is it not related to Imaginary Space, but rather the ability to transform the body into other substances and then "recombine" them?

Wrong.

Before we could think it through, the next round of confrontation had already begun.

"Bass!"

Three seconds.

"Bang!"

2.5 seconds.

"Whoosh!"

Three seconds.

The two fought in the void, their movements like dancing on the tip of a knife.

Black ice.

Silk.

The dark gold threads were frozen, and the pitch-black ice was shattered.
