Chapter 723: Chapter 658: Path Dependence, Indeed
Seems like support is gone.
Barely dodging Raven Masked Man’s multiple assaults and being riddled with wounds, eroded by fine sand, the Red-haired Director still found no sign of reinforcents arriving. He couldn’t help but close his eyes, sighing deeply within his heart.
According to the Sagittarius Director’s swift and decisive nature, if reinforcents were truly coming, they would have arrived imdiately without any unforeseen circumstances holding him back. Since he hasn’t arrived after such a long ti, it’s evident that he’s not planning on coming.
As for why he would break the promise... If my guess is correct, Mr. Taurus has probably started his ascension, hasn’t he?
Montarily commanding a small portion of scarlet hair, crushing Raven Masked Man’s attack, a faint hint of sadness erged in the Red-haired Director’s eyes.
Even though the ascension is a result recognized by all mbers of the Clean-up Bureau, including Mr. Taurus himself, to , it ans losing the last of my kin. Even though I’ve long prepared myself accordingly, there’s still a pang of bitterness in my heart...
...
Hiss... Are my attacks really that effective? Scarlet Hair Lady is almost crying because of ?
Staring at the Red-haired Director in front of him, with an expression of despondency and almost tearful eyes, Raven Masked Man was montarily stunned, then couldn’t help but be overjoyed.
However, just as the newly inspired Raven Masked Man prepared to exert himself even further and kill the helpless Scarlet Hair Lady in one go, a figure suspended below suddenly lowered his head, bit onto the scarlet hair holding him, and forcefully pulled it from his chest!
?!!!
Astonished by the sudden emptiness from the "heaviest" strand of hair, the grieving Red-haired Director for the ascension of his parent was suddenly stunned, hurriedly urging other slaughter blood hairs to save the person.
But Leon, who had detached from the scarlet hair, plunged straight into the abyss below as if carrying weights, fading out of sight in the blink of an eye.
He... did this to free up the Scarlet Hair Lady by committing suicide?
Fool!
Watching Leon free himself from the grip of slaughter blood hair and voluntarily plunge into the depths of the Demonic Soul Abyss, Raven Masked Man couldn’t help but sneer.
The real reason behind Scarlet Hair Lady’s situation now was the souls of those millions, even without you, the heaviest burden, she can only return so souls to their bodies, still lacking the ability to fight back; you only died in vain.
"Leon!!!"
But what Raven Masked Man didn’t expect was that Scarlet Hair Lady, who remained silent, suddenly scread. Then she loosened her protection over herself once again.
She bore having most of her soul drawn out, forcibly splitting a large amount of scarlet hair, reaching deeply into the Demonic Soul Abyss, seemingly wanting to pull back the fool who just fell down.
This? Great opportunity!
Noticing this rare gap, Raven Masked Man’s gaze narrowed, then he pounced towards the soul-detached Red-haired Director, attempting to eliminate this major threat to the Slaughter King Association.
Yet at this mont, a mist-like gray robe suddenly floated out from a nearby dream realm, draping over the anxious Red-haired Director’s shoulders.
Under Raven Masked Man’s astonished gaze, the wounds he worked half a day to inflict on her suddenly turned into a cluster of nightmares, expelled from Scarlet Hair Lady’s body, quietly floating between the two.
To everyone’s surprise, a familiar figure wearing Goggles Crown erged from the newborn nightmare, extending a hand wrapped in gray mist, gripping his neck!
King of Nightmares? Isn’t it already... No! Wait!
Seeing the fury that desired to kill him on sight in the eyes of the "King of Nightmares," Raven Masked Man’s body was suddenly shaken, an expression of terror erging in his eyes.
This isn’t the King of Nightmares! It’s the one who just fell... How’s this possible?!
No ti to ponder the cause of the anomaly. Sensing Leon’s murderous intent, Raven Masked Man’s body instantly dispersed, fleeing in all directions without hesitation.
But now, with nightmares everywhere, Leon, who beca the new King of Nightmares using the emblem, took rely one step forward, traversing countless nightmares instantly, simultaneously blocking multiple Raven Masked n.
"You?!"
Farewell.
Amidst the horrified expressions of the Raven Masked n, recreating the earlier scene as Leon simultaneously erged from various dream realms, grabbed their necks, and decisively snapped them fiercely!
"Crack!"
Finished!
Feeling trendous strength pouring into his body as Leon moved, Raven Masked Man’s heart sank instantly.
But what surprised him was, that overwhelming force rely circulated within his body and did nothing, directly retreating...
This? Why didn’t he just kill ?
Surviving Raven Masked Man, dazed for a mont, suddenly realized.
Even if Leon successfully crossed the difference between man and god, obtaining the power belonging to the King of Nightmares, his understanding of power remains at the "human" level, only knowing how to destroy the enemy’s body and soul.
But for a True God, compared to the body and soul, one’s mastery over Authority is the core; to truly kill a True God, one must eliminate the mark they left on their Authority.
Yet, this newly born Lord of Nightmares, though having mastered the corresponding Authority, hasn’t learned how to use it yet, much less the way to eliminate Authority marks unique to a True God.
"Ah haha! You can’t kill !"
Understanding how he narrowly escaped, the rejoiced Raven Masked Man, unable to contain his smile, tilted his head and roared, then frantically struggled, attempting to flee Leon’s grasp once more.
But what Raven Masked Man couldn’t foresee was that after repeated attempts, even when he realized he couldn’t completely kill him even by crushing him, frowning Leon hesitated for a mont, and then, with a look of disdain, opened his mouth.
Ah?!
Ah??!!
Ah??!!!
Seeing Leon’s head suddenly enlarge dozens of tis, directly biting towards him, Raven Masked Man’s eyes bulged to the point of bleeding.
Shouldn’t the attack thod of the Lord of Nightmares forcibly drag others into nightmares and shatter their spirit and will, leading their soul to entirely fragnt?! and why the heck are you munching like that?
"No! Don’t! No!!!"
Not tasty.
Besides having no taste at all, it even pricked his mouth, akin to gnawing a window pane filled with sand, uncleaned for eight hundred years.
Giving Raven Masked Man a hugely negative review regarding the taste, Leon then prepared to utilize the Authority of the Three-Headed Canine Deity to thoroughly kill this traitor of the Director, but right then, a peculiar chanical adjusting sound abruptly erged from Leon’s stomach.
Subsequently, a familiar golden watch ti mark flickered and vanished repeatedly, Raven Masked Man on the verge of falling into Leon’s stomach scread desperately vanished, then reappeared bewildered on a bench by the wharf.
...
This fast?
Noticing one fewer mark from his arrangent, Aquarius Director ascending the sixth floor of the Virgin Branch couldn’t help but tense slightly, then pushed aside drooping layers of scarlet hair, revealing the enormous door blocked behind.
Marks he left could only temporarily "borrow" the opponent’s ti, with strict limitations, needing to return while they’re alive.
While not activated by him, it self-triggered on Raven’s mark, it must be that he’s about to be killed, so the mark deduced it’s his last stage to return borrowed ti from him.
This precaution he left back then unintentionally granted him life... Hmm... Since Raven has been defeated, I must speed up my own process here.
After closing his eyes slightly and preparing ntally, Aquarius Director lifted his arm, pressing his left hand into the hand-shaped depression on the door, and then raised a golden knife with his right hand, slashing at his left wrist fiercely!
