Narrow Victory, Ghoul Rule

Behind the Curtain, two colossal beings collided continuously in the air.

In this place, neither of them needed to hold back. One large-scale, highly polluting ability after another was unleashed.

The Mayfly King suddenly let out a shrill screech, and a torrent of death energy accompanied by the sound of death surged toward Richard.

Richard was about to dodge when countless death tentacles suddenly seeped out from the body of a Mayfly King clone beside him.

With that brief delay, the torrent of death struck Richard's body.

But before the torrent dispersed, a storm surged upstream from within it—under the scouring of death energy, the scales on Richard's body had rotted beyond recognition, falling off in sheets with the slightest movement.

Piercing agony traveled through his neural network into Richard's brain, yet beneath his terrifying will, it all became fuel for his attack.

Bracing himself against the torrent of death, his Demon God-like body suddenly threw a punch.

Boom!

The Mayfly King's body shattered instantly. Dense death energy burst from within him, transforming into a tentacled monstrosity that wrapped Richard inside.

"Damn it, another fake body."

With a roar, the tentacled monster's fragile body was shattered. Aurora lit up around Richard, and the light containing the Life Rule instantly dispersed the death energy.

"You really are slippery, you bug."

Richard looked at the Mayfly King in the distance. Whether it was the true body or a fake, he opened his mouth and mocked it all the same.

The Mayfly King showed not the slightest anger at the taunt. Staring at the death energy constantly being dispelled from Richard's body, as well as his ceaselessly healing wounds, he felt only despair.

With physical evolution, the Life Rule, and that unknown, bizarre power, this Wizard before him was frighteningly hard to kill.
