"Aaaaaah!"
Enkai let out a harrowing, inhuman scream!
And at the very instant he activated that piece of flesh...
"Die!"
Kairils's voice, cold as death itself, had already reached Enkai from directly ahead!
The Long Halberd, gleaming with an eerie blue light, cleaved viciously toward Enkai's neck with a shriek that tore through the air!
It was too fast to dodge!
Just as the blade was about to slice open Enkai's throat...
A savage power of flesh and blood, faintly surpassing even the limits of the second tier, erupted from Enkai's body without warning!
The countless fine blood threads that had just spread across Enkai's skin seemed to possess an instinct to protect their host.
Like crimson spiderwebs dancing through the air, they instantly wove a dense, blood-red barrier in front of Enkai!
Bang!
Kairils's Long Halberd slammed into the web of blood!
The savage impact, powerful enough to kill [God Never Laughs] in a single blow, had most of its force forcibly dispersed by the threads' unnatural elasticity the instant it struck them!
Not only that, the fine blood threads surged along the Long Halberd's blade toward Kairils's wrists, attempting to bind his weapon tight!
"Disgusting filth of the Abyss."
Kairils's brow furrowed sharply, and the power of winter erupted within him once more.
The blood threads creeping up the shaft froze instantly under the bitter chill.
With a sweep of the Long Halberd, the frozen threads shattered into a shower of icy fragments!
Yet although Kairils had severed the entangling threads through sheer, terrifying strength...
Priest Enkai had used that precious opening to fully absorb the Withered Flesh Lump's power!
"Hahahaha!"
Wild laughter exploded through the blood mist.
As the icy fragments scattered and the figure ahead came into view...
Everyone present felt their stomach churn violently!
