Chapter 642: Chapter 624: Strange Opponent
“Luo Di the Great Demon, today we need to re-extract your spinal fluid, apologies for the trouble.”
The sa gray spinal fluid was extracted, this ti without the need for quality inspection, it only needed to be mixed with the opponent’s spinal fluid.
As the gray spinal fluid flowed into the left side of the mixing device,
the spinal fluid from the other side also flowed in simultaneously.
Unlike the spinal fluids of the previous Great Demons, there was no bright color, no high temperature or corrosiveness, but a dark black, thick and sticky fluid, seemingly with solid particles floating within.
The two fluids mixed,
this ti,
Luo Di’s gray spinal fluid, capable of adapting and accommodating all substances, surprisingly did not directly assimilate the other, but instead engaged in a perfect fusion.
A deep gray mixed liquid was thus ford, and the organizers would create a scene based on this substance.
This made Luo Di quite expectant, wanting to see what kind of Great Demon it would be, and what kind of scene would result from the fusion of their spinal fluids.
Walking along a straight pathway to the end, opening the door leading to the inner venue.
No desks,
no pillars,
no extraneous objects at all,
before him was just a deep gray circular hall, like a transitional area leading to the depths of the throne.
As Luo Di stepped out in his work shoes,
on the opposite side ca the sound of heavy tal clashing, like a tal boot stomping on the ground.
Judging by the sound, Luo Di painted a ntal picture of a Huge war demon, fully armored.
But as he lifted his head and looked toward the source of the sound,
what t his eyes was unexpectedly a [Female Knight],
a set of pitch-black, form-fitting tal armor, seemingly custom-made just for her.
1. A seamless helt covered her entire face, leaving only a cold tallic outline.
2. A pitch-black crown sat on her head, with a semi-transparent black veil cascading down, gently rippling as she moved.
3. Her slender arm guards and arms appeared as one, making one wonder if there was actually soone inside, or if the armor itself was moving.
4. The armor’s main body surface had fine-scale patterns, combining elegance with defense. The leg armor had a streamlined, layered structure, extending to the heel, forming a single piece.
The impression given to Luo Di was entirely different from the previous Great Demons, with no outward mania or inclination for war.
Most importantly, unlike the Monks, Spines usually prefer to rely on their own bodies rather than external tal.
The Great Demon before him was entirely different; she was encased in tal from head to toe, with no face or skin showing, almost perfectly integrated with the armor.
Cold and solemn, elegant and dangerous.
A perfect match for the current scene, as if she were a guardian knight within the royal court.
There was also a sense of discord; even though she was about the sa height as Luo Di and more slender in build, the Female Knight produced heavy footsteps that shouldn’t belong to her.
The main reason was what lay on her shoulders, a greatsword.
Compared to the wolf-shaped Great Demon Luo Di faced in the first round, this greatsword the Female Knight carried was smaller in scale but seed abnormally heavy.
The surface bore no engravings or symbols, simple and unadorned.
The overall length was just equal to the Female Knight’s height.
…
[Audience]
Oculus had already taken his seat early, appearing a bit shy today, his entire array of eyeballs retreating close together.
Under the cover of his cloak, he had transford from slightly above average height to the physique of a young child, probably only twelve or thirteen years old.
The reason was simple,
there was soone sitting next to him.
Although this person intentionally assud the identity of an ordinary noble today, suppressing his aura, Oculus did not dare move his eyeballs at all.
This person sported a Mohawk with front-facing black spikes,
a pitch-black face, not from skin tone but as though charred, with a golden inverted cross mark on the forehead.
The eyeballs were also charred in structure, with what seed like candles burning within, seeping faint light through the cracks in the charred shell.
A simple black outfit, matching the color style of the Female Knight stepping out below.
Oculus also noticed the Female Knight, feeling a sense of familiarity, and after so observation, certain mories began to surface.
“Boss, isn’t this your…”
The other abruptly interrupted, while also asking in return, “You didn’t install eyeballs on this kid, right?”
“This is a showdown you personally requested, how would I dare to make any moves?”
As the two casually chatted, boom! A loud explosion rang from within the venue.
The front-row audience seats they were sat in seed to have a tendency to crack, as Luo Di, who had just entered the arena, was already embedded in the wall between the gaps.
…
Wow!
A mouthful of fresh blood choked from the throat,
though Luo Di’s tal left arm maintained its entirety, the palm was almost completely cut through, exposing the intricate structure of biomitic muscle inside.
The connection between the arm and shoulder was nearly severed as well, held together by two or three cables.
The most severe part was the torso,
Luo Di’s front body was almost completely slashed open, the stomach pouch shattered, fluids spilling out, barely held together by the Old Spine.
The reason he was so badly injured was due to a “judgnt error”.
[One minute ago]
The two clashed for the first ti,
The great sword slashed horizontally,
The feeling of this swing was similar to the first match, in terms of montum and suppression even inferior to that wild wolf. Moreover, the tongue in Luo Di’s mouth only trembled slightly, with no warning of danger.
Since that is the case,
Luo Di made the sa choice, preparing to catch the blade with his left hand. Once he caught it, he could create a perfect opportunity for attack, knocking open the opponent’s armor with a single blow.
Clang!
tal clash, hand grasp!
Steady!
The left hand very perfectly caught the blade, halting the slash.
Luo Di didn’t even need to lower his center of gravity, his arm strength was sufficient.
Just as he was about to launch a counterattack… Tap! The tongue that was simply moving in his mouth suddenly knocked loudly.
The “danger window” was provided by the tongue.
Since Luo Di had not fully mastered his cultivation, the danger scene he could see lasted less than two seconds.
In the scene,
the Female Knight made no additional movents, still holding her sword, there was no sign of danger.
Although he did not know the source of the danger,
the tongue’s judgnt was never wrong, danger was sure to occur.
Luo Di intended to parry the great sword in his hand and distance himself to seriously observe where the danger ca from, but…
Crack!
When Luo Di’s left arm tried to exert force, he found it simply immovable.
The Female Knight clearly didn’t make any forceful action,
but the great sword in her hand remained unmoved.
Suddenly… Buzz!
A high-frequency vibration emanated from the sword body, sending a numbing sensation through Luo Di’s entire body.
It seed as if so aura was seeping from inside the sword body, lingering on its surface.
The great sword, already grasped, unexpectedly began exerting force, its power surpassing all opponents Luo Di had faced… Moreover, even the sharpness of the sword body increased, with an invisible edge already forming.
Sudden exertion!
Luo Di was directly flung away by the slash,
his body shot into the side wall like a bullet, ending up in such a state.
Coughing up fresh blood from his mouth,
his body fractured,
his important left arm injured,
but the corners of Luo Di’s mouth slightly curved upward,
he saw the essence, or rather, his tongue tasted the flavor. The danger window earlier had no image because Luo Di’s focus was misplaced.
“I see… it’s not a person holding the sword, but the sword holding the person.”
Not giving Luo Di any chance to repair or catch his breath.
The Female Knight had already moved in, her great sword swung out again similar to the previous slash.
Buzz!
The side wall was slashed with a huge rift, the stands were almost about to collapse.
The {Overlord}, however, lightly waved a hand, so black substance quickly filled the cracks, continuing to watch the show.
In the arena,
the pit where Luo Di lay was cut horizontally, but there were no flesh fragnts inside.
The sound of the work boots hitting the ground ca from behind the Female Knight.
His upper body severed, only the spine holding him together, Luo Di stood stably over ten ters away.
The nearly severed Protheus’ Hand hung in front of him, not yet repaired.
Seemingly heavily injured, he nevertheless stared intently at the great sword in the Female Knight’s hands, smiling.
The tongue licking between the tal jaw,
a strange sound emitted from the throat,
“Open… Spine.”
The Female Knight, wanting to continue her offensive without giving any chance, seed as if she was being controlled by the great sword in her hand, forcibly staying in place.
Because an extrely dangerous transformation was occurring within Luo Di.
From the cervical vertebra,
the marrow leaked out,
layer upon layer of gray-white, sticky, fluid marrow seeped out against the skin, gradually covering Luo Di’s entire head, like a full-covering mask, leaving only his hairstyle unchanged.
The thoracic vertebrae, lumbar vertebrae, and sacrum were undergoing internal assimilation,
all blood vessels and nerves turning into subordinate structures of the spine, the surface covered with a layer of white soft mbrane structure, the substance flowing within also replaced by spinal fluid.
Luo Di’s skin was gradually turning white…
