Chapter 236: Disparity
During the brief conversation in the elevator earlier, Yi Chen seized the opportunity to test out just to what extent this Vice Dean, known as “Neurological Sense,” could apply his sensory abilities.
Even if his eyes were gouged out, he could still form images,
so he indeed could easily transmit the Death Symbol throughout the city, and only soone like Zede, who was deprived of fundantal vision, could be immune to the symbol’s visual transmission.
The only way Yi Chen had to block the transmission of death was one.
That was to activate the “Needle Chain’s” painful trait, covering his body with needles that symbolized pain, ensuring that wherever the Vice Dean’s sensory lines tried to penetrate, they would be broken by the needles.
Moreover, he could transmit this pain back as well.
...
This was also the first ti Yi Chen had applied the Iron Chains to such an extent, with excruciating pain gathering in the brain from every pore of his body like flowing water, continuously stimulating the brain’s deep layers.
The brain, as the “Central Converter,” transford the pain into energy that coursed through his body, elevating Yi Chen to a higher standard.
Moreover, changes weren’t limited to Yi Chen alone.
Barry, too, at the juncture of life and death, transcended human instinct through the Knight Virtue, with a surreal spirit shining brilliantly within his brain, completely suppressing the Death Symbols entwined within his thoughts.
Not only did he break free from death, but Barry also achieved a rare realm.
“Between mbrane Layers”
It specifically refers to a class of gentlen without relics, achieving Extre Breakthroughs solely through self-reliance.
Due to the absence of relics as a ‘dium,’ even though they break through the mbrane layers, they are trapped between them.
It is extrely rare for humans to reach this realm, and the organization exempts them from the relic incident process, striving to provide suitable relics.
At this mont,
Barry’s eyes beneath that bucket helt burst forth with a golden light of virtue,
lines symbolizing Knight Virtue erging between his muscles and fat, mixed in perfect proportion. This not only suppressed death but also shielded him from subsequent death assaults.
At this mont,
both Yi Chen and Barry had transcended their peers among gentlen.
But…
The one standing before them was a bona fide ‘Transcender’, one who had rged with a relic and broken through the limit, no longer constrained by the term ‘human.’
And compared to before, he now had an additional Death Attribute.
Although Evatt was more biased towards a support-type gentleman, his killing thods were by no ans inferior.
Hu~ Taking a breath, Vice Dean Evatt exhaled a Dead Body’s breath.
His expression quickly shifted from shock to a sense of resignation and his thoughts underwent a transformation at that mont.
“I originally planned to Capture Technique you, but now it seems I can’t bring you back alive. Let’s stick to the normal procedure, directly bringing back your dead bodies then.”
Evatt no longer released “sensory lines” externally but pressed his ten fingers to his head.
One by one, ethereal sensory lines were implanted into his brain, weaving into his corrupted Death brain core, increasing the Transmission Efficiency of the nerves, enhancing Perception.
One could even see the wriggling of these fine lines between Evatt’s eyeballs.
“Barry, get him!”
At Yi Chen’s shout, the two attempted to disrupt the Vice Dean’s self-enhancent.
Clang~ (sound of Iron Chains moving)
The muscles in his right Arm fully tensed, twisting his torso and back, as he swung the Iron Chains vertically.
The tip of the Iron Chains even wrapped around an axe, aiming to increase the range of the attack and improve the Speed of the axe’s strikes.
At the sa ti,
Barry also bulged the muscles in his right Arm, throwing the Heavy Hamr he held in a horizontal motion.
The fast-spinning Heavy Hamr traced a perfect arc in the air, locking onto Evatt’s body.
The crisscrossed attacks arrived almost at the sa ti.
Yet, Vice Dean Evatt remained cool and collected, performing a small sidestep and bending 90° at the waist,
Ding! The Iron Chains and the axe hit the ground, missing entirely.
The arc-tracing Heavy Hamr also just grazed past his abdon, failing to strike its target.
However, the attacks from the two were far from over.
Utilizing the “Plant Attribute” within the Iron Chains, Yi Chen caused the missed chains to spring back up, attempting to entangle Evatt’s body like a living creature.
At the mont he had thrown the Heavy Hamr, Barry had already rushed forward, now within close combat range.
Smack!
He grabbed the returning Heavy Hamr and smashed it straight down, all in one fluid motion.
Facing an almost perfectly connected series of continuous attacks, the Vice Dean perford a side leap coupled with a standard gentleman’s roll, causing both Yi Chen’s attempt to entangle with the chains and Barry’s close-range hamr strike to miss again.
However, Barry had seemingly anticipated that the attacks would miss from the start.
The seemingly failed hamr strike instead hit the ground forcefully, Boom!
That strike generated a “Shock Wave” effect, with the shattered ground spreading out in circles, affecting the Vice Dean’s position as well.
Thrown off balance, he showed an opening.
Barry naturally would not miss such an opportunity, pulling his Heavy Hamr out of the ground to step forward and Chase.
However, just as he took a step forward, a harsh cry ca from Yi Chen at his side:
“Barry, raise your shield!”
Yi Chen held an extrely important place in his heart, so he resolutely abandoned the seemingly great opportunity in front of him and lifted his hand to hold up the shield.
At the sa ti, a flexible iron chain wrapped around Barry’s body, attempting to drag him away from this place… but because Barry was too heavy and firmly rooted, the pulling effect was greatly reduced.
Swish!
He only felt five thin lines swiftly sweep before his eyes.
Behind Barry,
A hotel support column was cut into five sections, and the whole building even seed to be on the verge of collapse.
In Barry’s hands,
The knight shield inherited from his family was slashed with five cuts several centiters deep, and was even emitting dense smoke… if it were to be cut several more tis, the shield might break apart directly.
Since they couldn’t completely distance themselves, the large shield’s block did not cover the entire body.
Barry’s right temporal skull was diagonally sliced open, and even the brain tissue inside could be seen,
“Oh~ you guys actually managed to react?”
At this mont,
The deputy dean squatting on the ground had completed the brain reconstruction through the “sensory line,” his personal perception having ascended to a completely new dinsion.
In the following battle, he would no longer use the kind of line which couldn’t cause substantial harm and was more biased towards illusion effects—the “sensory line.”
There are a total of two types of lines in his body, and only one type can be used at a ti.
One is the “sensory line” capable of manipulating senses, intangible and hard to detect,
The other is the visible “surgical thread” commonly used for precise cutting
The gentlen hung in the hall and Barry, who narrowly escaped death, were all attacked by the surgical thread… compared to before, the deputy dean’s surgical thread now possesses an additional death attribute, making it even more deadly.
Threads emitting black smoke floated between his ten fingers.
Just as the deputy dean stood up and walked towards Barry…
Bang! Bang!
Yi Chen’s “Body Breaker” fired two rounds of shotgun blast,
the corresponding twenty or so pellets shot toward the deputy dean’s back, and as long as one could penetrate the body, it would trigger the effect of iron absorption.
However,
Evatt gently moved his fingers, deflecting all the pellets without even looking back.
He even pinched one of the tal pellets in his hand.
“‘Iron Disease’ corresponding firearms, huh? Nice tool… pity the speed is too slow.”
As the deputy dean turned his head out of curiosity to see the pathological firearm in Yi Chen’s hands, he found that no one was behind him anymore.
Using the ti bought by firing the gun.
Yi Chen sprinted at full speed, pulling Barry in an attempt to escape the hotel.
Just as the two were about to step out of the hotel door, they suddenly felt a deadly danger coming from beneath their feet and imdiately stopped!
Swish!
A surgical thread rose vertically from the ground, cutting off the toes and the tips of their noses.
“Didn’t I say it? The whole hotel is within my range… if you think of escaping again, next ti I might just cut you in half.”
The mont the words fell, the deputy dean made a horizontal swinging arm motion, drawing five black lines horizontally slashing towards them!
Barry decisively positioned Yi Chen behind him and raised his shield to block!
Swish!
The family shield was slashed to pieces but also deflected the threads.
Drip drip~
Blood continuously slipped from Barry’s hands;
his left arm holding the shield was cut into ribbons, completely disabled.
A helpless smile appeared on his face,
“Damn it~ the gap of transcending limits truly cannot be crossed, and to think the one in front of
is Mr. Evatt, who passed the ‘Doctor’s Test.’ Being able to hold on for this long already feels quite good.
William, you better run.
If you truly manage to escape, please explain to my family in detail what happened here, tell them I fought until the very last mont, didn’t disgrace our lineage, and didn’t lose honor, only that I’m very sorry I couldn’t bring this honor back.
I’ll try to buy a bit more ti…”
Barry lifted his remaining right arm, trying to throw the heavy hamr with all his might.
Hum! The line whizzed past.
The right arm holding the heavy hamr was completely severed, falling heavily to the ground,
along with a head wearing a bucket helt, the face still donning a relieved smile.
Even so,
Barry still maintained a standing posture, using his Knight Armor and body to shield Yi Chen, fighting for that minuscule chance of escape.
