"Hmph!"
Akbin abruptly stepped back, and the sword tip missed his neck by a hair's breadth.
At the same time, he quickly pulled two vials of green reagent from his pocket and casually dropped them.
The glass vials shattered against the ground, and pungent green smoke immediately spread.
[You are affected by "Disease Catalyst"!] [Negative status "Supernatural Disease" has worsened!]
Chen Lun's expression darkened as he looked at the notifications.
He discovered that his HP, which had been falling by 5 points per second, was now falling by 20 points per second!

With two sharp smacks, the two white pythons on Chen Lun's shoulders blocked the long-handled hammer on their own and coiled tightly around it. The azure suckers on the undersides of the serpentine tentacles locked it firmly in place.
Akbin gave a faint exclamation of surprise. No matter how hard he pulled, he could not retrieve his weapon.
Chen Lun swung his sword backhanded. Akbin decisively abandoned his weapon and leaped backward to evade it. But Chen Lun's strength had increased after entering his standard state, and the slash still cut through Akbin's clothes and skin, leaving a bright red wound.
Boom!
Chen Lun gave Akbin no chance to catch his breath. He burst through the green smoke and closed in, the Silver Sword in his hand slashing out streaks of silver light. Akbin had no choice but to block.
The sword flashes were terrifyingly fast, slicing through the air
