Gern's figure suddenly blurred!
Every muscle in his body synchronized perfectly with his vibration frequency, launching him like a bullet in a fraction of a second!
He left a faint ring of gray-white tremor ripples where he had stood.
The next instant, he appeared without warning directly in front of Saint Saturn's Ox Demon form!
"Hiss!" Saint Saturn caught Gern's approach with both eyes, but at this distance, there was no time to unleash Evil Eye.
In his human-beast form, Saturn's human face twisted savagely, and the two spiderlike appendages at the front of his body shot upward.
Thick, dark-purple venom instantly seeped from their tips as they tore through the air with a piercing shriek.
"Die!" A flash crossed Saturn's eyes as the two venomous limbs stabbed at Gern's chest and abdomen from either side!
They moved so fast they left afterimages, and wherever the venom dripped, even the ground hissed with corrosion!
Facing this lethal crossing thrust, Gern did not slow his charge at all. Only when the two limbs were about to strike him did he move.
He twisted sideways at an impossible angle and speed.
He did not retreat-he slipped in close!
Then...
He twisted at the waist again! Spun!
Pivoting around his left foot, his airborne body traced an exquisite arc!
Whoosh! The spider legs skimmed past his shirtfront and waist. Their venom tore through the fabric but failed to touch his skin!
And the instant the centrifugal force of his spin reached its peak-
The Black Blade Eight Desolations, which Gern had kept angled downward, swept horizontally with the force of his turn, becoming a pitch-black fan of light!
"Eight Desolations: Reverse Wheel Sever!"
Clang!!!!
The sharp sound of something hard being severed rang out almost simultaneously!
Squelch!
Both spiderlike appendages were cut clean
