Antos, oh Antos, whatever you do, don't go limp

Anger surged across the right side of Antiya Lisi's face. He violently shook his arms, tearing his already tattered robes to shreds, but he paid no heed, forcefully clasping his hands together in front of him—

The houses on both sides of the "half-tree, half-dragon, Half-Blood Corpse " collapsed instantly, and hundreds of sharp spikes gleaming with venom pierced the Blood Corpse that was poised to strike from the cracks in the walls, the ground, and in front of and behind it.

Antiya Lisi's attack was swift and ruthless, determined to pierce the Blood Corpse to death on the spot with a single blow.

"Whoosh!"

Hundreds of venomous spikes missed their target; with a light step on the ground, the "alien Blood Corpse " vanished from its spot.

A dark shadow suddenly flashed in front of Antiya Lisi, who was rooted in the center of the battlefield. His palms shot forward, and the white tree venom was flung out like bullets by the force of the blow.

However, the dark figure only appeared for a moment before disappearing again, as if using its extremely high agility to deceive Antiya Lisi into making a move.

And he fell for the trap.

Having missed his target, Antiya Lisi was about to withdraw his hands when a deep but powerful voice echoed in his ears:

"An interesting ability, very similar to one of my brothers. You might have heard of the legend of the ' The Impaler '?"

Antiya Lisi was not distracted by such a question. Following the direction from which the sound came, he launched another attack with almost no blind spots. However, the sensation from the countless spikes told him that he had missed again.

After three consecutive attacks yielded no results, the archbishop gradually calmed down.

He remained rooted to the spot, becoming much more composed and no longer acting rashly due to the slightest disturbance around him.

As for the composite Blood Corpse monster, which is far removed from the concept of humanity, it maintains an extremely high speed of movement by using its curved legs.

His figure was almost impossible to detect with the naked eye; the occasional glimpse of the black monster was merely a trick used to deceive Antiya Lisi's skills.

At this moment, [ Howling Pothos ], who was in first-person perspective, was completely stunned.

He could understand the current situation. The power that Grand Duke Antos had sent from afar had helped him to completely control this body, but instead of directly expelling the Tree Transformation and Dragon Transformation powers, he made use of them.

The reason why his strangely shaped legs could still have such powerful explosive force was because Antos had suppressed and transferred the power of his Dragon Transformation and Tree Transformation to his legs.

The Blood Corpse's strength is concentrated in its upper body and arms, allowing for more powerful attacks.

The images flashed before its eyes, and [ Howling Pothos ] could barely see its surroundings.

If a photographer were to capture such a scene, they would be fired within the next day.

But this is a move that a Grand Duke could easily make.

This is a bit too outrageous.

[ Howling Pothos ] thought back to when he watched [ Clear Soup Master ]'s first-person perspective recording before, he hadn't realized that summoning a deity to possess someone could be so powerful.

Is this a difference in strength between Antos and Adelaide, or a difference between himself and the body provided by [ Clear Soup Master ]?

He couldn't figure it out for the time being, so he could only continue to observe and learn from the real "pro" players, trying to Drain some combat experience that he could use.

But another question immediately popped into [ Howling Pothos's ] mind--

I used Ed's Blessing Card and selected to synchronize one attribute for one minute.

Using the card and selecting the attribute took a second or two, consuming the crystal and waiting for the poison to take effect also took a second or two, and communicating with Antos was delayed by five or six seconds because he didn't want the other to see his anxiety. After Antos took over the body, the battle with Antiya Lisi had also lasted about ten seconds. How much time did he have left?

[ Howling Pothos ] looked at her status bar; the Blessing Card's effect time was down to thirty-eight seconds.

With just over half a minute remaining, can these two formidable opponents determine a winner?

[ Howling Pothos ] really wants to point out that the strength of Antos's body is fake. Hopefully, he can finish the battle quickly and not end up like Adelaide, all withered up.

But he also knew that he was no different from being dead now; his soul was just lingering on to make the most of his body and earn a little extra money.

If you can't even freely control the camera angle, how can you give Antos effective hints?

Well, then it's up to Antos to do his best.

[ Howling Pothos ]'s consciousness completely collapsed, ready to watch the outcome of the battle between the vegetative state and the vampire.

The Blood Corpse, appearing as afterimages, leaped around him, and even with Antiya Lisi's abilities, he truly had no way to capture them.

But he was not panicked. After a moment's thought, he quickly launched his counterattack.

The deep green plant tissue transformed into a cane in Antiya Lisi's hand. He held the top of the cane, his expression solemn like that of a pope looking down from a high position.

Antiya Lisi gave a low shout and pressed the staff into the ground with both hands at the same time.

Instantly, countless dark green spikes erupted from the ground about twenty meters around him. These spikes were not aimed at the fast-moving Blood Corpse, but instead began to extend directly upwards at a very obvious angle towards Antiya Lisi.

"Whoosh!"

Hundreds of flexible, sharp spikes intertwined and tightened, forcibly isolating this cone-shaped area from the outside world.

The Blood Corpse that was moving at high speed was trapped inside this area.

Seeing the opponent's still blurry movement, Antiya Lisi knew that this did not mean he had gained the upper hand.

Given the speed of this Blood Corpse, it would hardly need any extra means to evade the area confinement skill it just used. The fact that the opponent is still within this cone-shaped space can only mean one thing: it is fully confident that it can defeat itself.

Let's go then.

Antiya Lisi made up his mind, then leaned back and spread his arms, launching a fierce attack across the entire space.

Since directional attacks are hard to hit, let's turn this space into a venomous hell!

As Antiya Lisi moved, a rain began to fall within the space he had forcibly confined.

The fine rain curtain was not made up of water droplets, but of pure venom.

The hundreds of plants that obscure the entire space are essentially part of the Antiya Lisi symbiotic plant, and naturally possess the ability to secrete toxins.

The Blood Corpse's figure weaved through the rain, inevitably coming into contact with the whitish venom that carried the scent of plants.

"Clatter."

The Blood Corpse stopped its high-speed movement and stood a few meters in front of Antiya Lisi.

It can't run anymore. The faster it moves in this rain, the more venom it gets on its body, and the weaker its control over this body will become.
