Chapter 702: Chapter 702: Victory or Defeat

The sensation of being severed was genuinely unbearable.

Not to mention the multitude of tentacles that made up the dog’s head, which were directly cut off, causing so much pain that Han Dong was rolling around and convulsing on the ground…

Ha-ha-ha-ha!

However, during the convulsions, Han Dong, with his blackened lips, was laughing maniacally.

The pain at the soul’s plane was forcibly repressed due to the “manic laughter”.

Of course, such laughter immediately attracted the hatred of the watching Ten Devils.

...

“Virus carrier!”

Weirdneck already had an umbrella held over his head, and a terrifying Pyramid Head dragging a heavy sword had appeared behind Alessa.

Only the mayor could see through it all, he could see that Han Dong was not affected by the Laughing Virus, this kind of madness stemmed from another power.

With a wave of his hand, a lightless warning line appeared in front of the townsfolk, signaling them not to panic.

“Once the Laughing Virus activates, the process can’t be stopped, until the individual has been completely transformed into a [Clown]… However, this young man is different.”

Just as expected.

As the pain decreased and completely disappeared, Han Dong’s laughter ceased.

Slowly sitting up.

Staring at Huo Ziping not far away, who was sitting cross-legged, with both hands suspended over his dantian, revolving his True Qi to expel the contamination inside his body.

“153 seconds per Sword Intent Chop strike… Just now was undoubtedly the moment the cooldown ended, immediately a Heart Sword chop strike was issued, otherwise, he wouldn’t have damaged himself.

If the time is that long, it would be a bit easier.

‘Sword cultivator’ is the strongest in terms of single-target attacks, all the points are invested in attack, combined with such talent… It’s genuinely difficult to deal with in a one-on-one situation.

Furthermore, my body can’t last too long under the Death Mood, and I can’t let Huo Ziping experience too much death strike either.

There are many other things to deal with later… let’s try this move.”

When the ‘Facaless Skull’ was still at LV.2, Han Dong had already conceived a “basic blueprint” in his brain, but due to the number of tentacles and control issues, it was never able to be realized.

This blueprint was focused on enhancing his own ‘one on one’ power.

So that in the Fate Space, or when encountering a demon alone outside the city, he could escape or directly kill the enemy with this.

After all.

The Raven Staff is suitable for leading armies.

The area-specific Black Sand and Crow Magic are more geared towards groups… It’s more suitable for Han Dong to launch a Land Deed War outside the city, or to carry out large-scale activities like a knight’s expedition.

As a mage, how could one-on-one combat be enhanced?

Han Dong had thought about taking the same path as Dumps.

But he found that while simultaneously practicing multiple magic, plague, as well as managing the Little Demon Eye, containment items, and experiments, he would be over-exerting himself if he were to also train his body and familiarize himself with weapons.

Therefore.

Han Dong focused his ‘Single Combat Power’ improvement on the G-Virus.

It’s not just about letting G fully unleash the power of the body, but also to fully coordinate with demonization… Of course, in order to perfectly achieve this, Han Dong still needs a perfect body.

Currently, he could only give it a try.

“Count, get ready…”

Under the [Talent Tree – Smiley], Han Dong ate several red fruits in succession, allowing his body to keep up with the ‘Death Crowman’ posture.

The whole person squats down.

Crow Feather Bone Wings, were slowly folding up, joint by joint.

Then the bone wings fully spread out and flapped downwards with power.

A circle of air waves rippled across the ground, stirring up a large amount of Black Sand.

Han Dong leaped upwards, leaping into the air at a distance of nearly 100 meters.

“Demonized. Full Coverage”

With the skull as the core, numerous fine tentacles quickly wriggled under the skin, covering and even replacing a few muscle tissues… There weren’t too many changes on the outside, yet many parts of the body inside were replaced by the tentacles.

If anyone could glimpse Han Dong’s internal conditions, they would definitely find that his demonization had reached about 30%.

At the same time.

A super-giant Hundred-eyed Bloodhound almost formed an independent individual, wrapping around Han Dong (only connected with Han Dong’s arm by the tail).

The overall length exceeded four meters… It was like a pet that Han Dong carried around.

“Warning! Warning! The current body trunk (inferior) can’t bear the high-density tentacle load, and can’t maintain this state. It’s estimated that after ten minutes, the body trunk will permanently disintegrate and be unusable.”

Han Dong was totally unaffected by this prompt.

“Huo Ziping… Bring it on.”

Crack ~ ka-chi ka-chi!

The nails on the five fingers of the right hand were all blown off, and five tentacles crawled out from inside.

They all attached themselves to the surface of the Raven Staff, coiling around it.

Ka! Accompanied by the crowing and screaming of the crow at the top of the staff, the next released Black Magic was enhanced – ‘Spell Level +1’, ‘Amplified by 30%’.

Hum~ A black magic array formed at the end of the staff.

Crows made of black sand crystals swarmed out from the array, each possessing the characteristics of ‘auto-targeting’ and ‘death invasion’.

Meanwhile, each crow carried more or less tentacles on its body, ranging from half a meter to two meters in length.

They numbered in the hundreds and were extremely difficult to avoid.

At that moment, Huo Ziping’s injuries had not yet fully healed.

“Captain!!”

Just as the members of the Dragon City Team in the field were worried.

‘Return to Sheath’.

Huo Ziping chose to sheathe the Dragon Sword, making a motion to unsheathe it.

At the same time, he pressed down on his waist and abdomen.

He aligned the end of his spine and the top, two thin lines, pointing straight at Han Dong in the sky… The sheathed Dragon Sword was also parallel to this line.

‘Borrowing’

A unique secret technique in Dragon City, which allows for the use of the power derived from the demon within the body in a short time without being eroded by pollution.

However, the body needs to withstand double the pressure.

Large numbers of veins surfaced and protruded on Huo Ziping’s body, and his flesh gradually showed a reddish hue…

Hiss hiss hiss!

High-pressure white gas was squeezed out from between Huo Ziping’s teeth.

‘Secret Technique. Dragon Flash Six Turns’

The step treading and sword unsheathing occurred at the same moment.

The terrifying speed burst, directly causing a spatial tremor, leaving a bit of dragon flame at the place where his foot tread.

Whoosh!

Six afterimages were left in the air.

A large number of crows and tentacles were all slain in a breath’s time.

However, the damage was not completely avoided.

A few pollution spots and traces of death erosion from the crow’s pecking were left on Huo Ziping’s flesh.

He paid such a price to ‘get close’, getting Han Dong within his attack range.

In the span of a breath, the Dragon Flame burning on the sword became more intense, increasing the attack range and burning intensity.

Determined to win.

Huo Ziping did not hesitate at all due to the pain, and immediately launched a super-fast chop strike, while anticipating Han Dong’s short-range spatial transfer.

Just when the sword blade was swung.

Han Dong did not choose to dodge, but instead pulled the staff into his body to enhance the effect and damage of the magic.

‘Secret Technique. Black Crystal Tentacles’

The perfect fusion of city-excluded abilities and black magic…

The robust tentacles that drilled out from between his fingers immediately hardened into ‘claws’, with the most flawless hexagonal sand crystals tightly arranged on the surface of the tentacles for further reinforcement.

Ding ding ding…

The sword blade and the sharp claws collided repeatedly.

Sparks flew in the air…A bit of sand crystal wrapped in Dragon Flame, broken tentacles, continuously falling to the ground.

Even so, Huo Ziping was still able to break them.

But breaking them takes time. Han Dong suppressed the pain of the tentacles breaking through manic laughter, continuously grew tentacles to maintain the integrity of the ‘claws’.

Huo Ziping, with absolute single-target sword skills, led the charge, completely suppressive.

Han Dong, with the ability to see through the Demon Eye and the absolute defense brought by numerous tentacles, led the defense, seizing opportunities.

“Time’s up…it’s coming.”

Han Dong calculated the cooldown time of the ‘Sword Intent’ that couldn’t be spied on or perceived… At the critical moment, a tentacle stealthily grew from the elbow, wrapping around Huo Ziping’s back from the side.

‘Void Transfer’

Calculating the cooldown time.

A flash of starlight flickered, and Han Dong had already gotten close behind Huo Ziping, instantly disrupting the rhythm of the battle.

At the spot where he was originally, an invisible Sword Intent slashed at empty air.

Even so…Huo Ziping hesitated not at all.

Taking advantage of the force of the sword swing, he smoothly turned around and swung his sword at Han Dong behind him.

But.

One of Han Dong’s hands was already on the back of Huo Ziping’s head… The Dragon Sword, still two inches away from Han Dong, hung in the air.

The number engraved on the sword grip changed – ‘9:1’
