Cahir is shrinking.
This is the first time that this parasitic monster has shown such obvious fear in front of Yavi. Whenever Yavi's Demon Breaker sword edge approaches, the black active substance on its body shrinks crazily like a woodlouse burned by flames., surging back from the surface of the skin to the other side of the body, trying desperately to avoid any contact with the dark gray long sword. Cahir stepped back one after another, even rolling to the side in an embarrassing posture, just to avoid the sword edge swung by Yavi.
The reason why Demon Breaker can restrain black matter is that Yavi himself doesn't know the exact reason. But he could guess to some extent that the material of this sword is Dimeritium, a rare metal that is extremely hard and naturally restrains all magic. The layer of black active material on Cahir, no matter how much it behaves like a living thing The essence of a living creature with a life is still some kind of magical creation, and Dimeritium is the natural enemy of all magical creations. Demon Breaker can burn black matter, not because it is sharp, but because it itself is the nemesis of magic.
While you are sick, I will kill you.
Yavi has always faithfully believed in this creed. Demon Breaker's offensive became more and more fierce, and the gray sword body was like a silent snake, biting Cahir's vital points one after another. Cahir itself is not good at close combat, and the only one at the moment Its advantage - the layer of black matter that was immune to most attacks - was useless in front of Demon Breaker, and it did not dare to come into contact with the sword's edge at all. It was forced back continuously by Yavi, and could only barely support itself by relying on the automatic blocking of the black matter in other parts of the body surface, almost being beaten unilaterally.
Yavi slashed diagonally, and Demon Breaker cut through the gap in the black substance, leaving a black burn mark on Cahir's shoulder. Cahir howled in pain and retreated. The black substance surged around the wound crazily, trying to repair the damage, but it could not erase the burn mark left by Demon Breaker.
Yavi chased after him, turned around and struck again with a horizontal slash, directly hitting Cahir's waist. Cahir hastily condensed a black round shield, but the moment Demon Breaker touched it, it disintegrated and melted like boiling water pouring on snow. The sword edge drove straight in, adding a deep wound under its ribs with bones visible!
"Damn it... Damn it!!!" Cahir roared, his voice filled with despair for the first time.
It realized that if it continued like this, it would be hacked to death on this ruins. The replenishment speed of black matter could no longer keep up with the destruction speed of Demon Breaker. It needed a chance, an opportunity that allowed it to use all its remaining power and make a desperate move.
And just when Yavi's next sword was about to strike--
Cahir moved.
It did not retreat or dodge. Cahir's body suddenly dwarfed, and then it rushed towards Yavi like an arrow! The aura of fearlessness and even self-destruction was completely different from the timid appearance just now.
Yavi's pupils shrank, but the body's instinct had already overridden thinking. Good luck. Instead of retreating, he advanced forward, Demon Breaker standing in front of him, facing the momentum of Cahir and going upstream. On Cahir's right arm, the remaining black matter condensed crazily, turning into a jagged black long blade, and slashed towards Yavi's chest!
Yavi's eyes flashed. The moment the black long blade was about to touch his chest, he suddenly dwarfed, bent over and turned around, his spine contracted and stretched like a folded spring, and his whole body slid under the black long blade close to the ground. At the same time, Demon Breaker used the huge force of the rotation of his waist and abdomen to slash out from left to right!
"Pfft--tsk!!!"
The gray sword cut through Cahir's left waist, broke through the weak defense line of the black material without any hindrance, cut through the spine of Cahir's body, and slashed out from the right waist. It was clean and neat, all in one go.
Cahir's body was broken into two parts at the waist.
The upper body was connected to the shoulders and head, and the lower body was connected to the legs. They were separated and fell to both sides. Dirty blood and broken organs were splashed all over the floor.
However--
Yavi Before he had time to take action, a sudden change occurred.
The black substance that originally covered Cahir's body and acted as armor did not collapse and dissipate as Yavi expected when the body was cut off. On the contrary, it split up and down, and formed two independent individuals in an instant along the section where Cahir was cut off!
The upper part of the black substance suddenly surged and condensed from Cahir's disconnected waist and abdomen, and quickly wrapped up the remaining half of the body. Maintaining the posture of the black long blade, it continued to slash towards Yavi! The momentum of the sword just now was still there, the blade tore through the air, and it was already less than two feet in front of Yavi!
"What--"
Yavi had no time to retract his sword and return to defense. Demon Breaker still maintained the stretched posture after the horizontal slash, and it was too late to retract and block. However, at the moment when the black long blade was about to hit his forehead, a crimson light suddenly lit up deep in Yavi's amber cat pupils--
Pig Talisman·Laser Eyes!
The power of Talisman that had finished cooling poured out at this moment. A laser beam that was so white that it was almost transparent was accurately shot from the pupil of Yavi, and hit the long black blade that was coming towards the face. The temperature of the laser beam was so high that even the air twisted and evaporated along its path, and the light itself burned everything around it like a living thing.
At the moment of contact, the active material on the surface of the long black blade was like wax thrown into a steel-making furnace - it melted, boiled, and burned instantly! Yavi could even hear the melting sound of the black material, and a sharp wail that sounded like a soul being burned. The upper part of the black material was burned in the middle by Laser Eyes and split into two. The remaining active material surged crazily and tried to reorganize, but continued to disintegrate, evaporate, and turn into black smoke under the high temperature.
The threats in the first half have been basically eliminated.
However, just when Yavi focused his attention on the top of his head, the threat in the lower half was approaching silently.
The black substance that broke away from Cahir's lower body, like a black snake gliding close to the ground, had quietly reached Yavi's waist and abdomen, and began to climb upwards! Yavi lowered his head suddenly, and saw that the black substance was spreading upward along his leather armor at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a living mire, greedily and quickly covering his abdomen, chest, and ribs!
"Damn it!"
Yavi instinctively raised Demon Breaker, preparing to slash downwards to cut off the spreading black matter. However, just as he raised his hand into the air, the remaining black matter in the upper half had not completely dissipated. As if it sensed that the same kind was attacking, it actually gave up the entanglement with the remaining high temperature of Laser Eyes, and like a ball of ink being dragged, it quickly joined the black substance clinging to Yavi below!
Two streams of black matter merged on Yavi's chest, like two tributaries merging into the same river, instantly accelerating the spread!
Yavi's hand froze in mid-air.
Demon Breaker raised it high and aimed the blade at the black substance on his chest, but he could not swing it down. Because the layer of black substance was already attached to his chest, his neck, and his cheek. It clung to his leather armor, clung to his skin, and even tried to penetrate into his mouth and nose. If he slashed with Demon Breaker at this time, the blade of the sword would cut through the black substance and Yavi's own chest at the same time.
You can't cut it. Cutting it off is equivalent to committing suicide.
This was the last clear thought that flashed through Yavi's mind.
The black substance covered his whole body like a tide, from his ankles to the top of his head, tightly wrapping him in it. Looking from the outside, Yavi still maintained the posture of raising his sword and was about to swing it, but his whole person had been completely wrapped by a dark layer of active material that was constantly wriggling, like a giant black cocoon standing in the center of the ruins.
Yavi can't move.
The black substance tightly bound his limbs, strangled his torso, and sealed his mouth and nose. He felt that the warmth from his whole body was being taken away little by little, and was replaced by a coldness that penetrated into his bone marrow. That coldness penetrated into his body along the skin, like a pair of invisible hands, groping the inside of his body from all directions.
Oops... it was calculated.
Yavi's thoughts began to become dull, as if they were filled with lead. He knew that the black substance was surging into his body. It wanted to penetrate through the mouth and nose, penetrate through the skin, and invade his flesh, his organs, and his mind from every pore. But he still maintained the posture of raising the sword, unable to move even a finger.
Consciousness is fading.
The edges of his vision began to turn black, his perception gradually blurred, and even the demon hunter's proud senses were being swallowed up bit by bit by the cold darkness. Yavi felt that his consciousness was like a small island being submerged by floods, and the water level around him was still rising.
"Is this the end..."
However, at the last moment when he was about to lose consciousness-
In my mind, a voice sounded.
"Ding--"
The sound was crisp, cold, and emotionless, like some ancient machinery being triggered.
"Unidentified substance detected entering the body. Defense mechanism activated."
"Tiger Talisman--The power of balance, open."
A golden ray of light suddenly lit up from deep within Yavi's body, and suddenly collided with the black substance surrounding him, like two completely different torrents suddenly converging within a square inch!
Yavi's amber pupils covered with black matter finally reflected this golden light.
Immediately, he lost consciousness.
The black cocoon stood quietly in the ruins. The active material surging on the surface was constantly squirming, but inside there was an imperceptible golden light slowly lighting up, like the sun that had not yet risen in the darkest night before dawn.
