Chapter 607: Chapter 297: Nowhere to Run? (Part 2)
The only constant was that conical proboscis still dripping with Spiritual Energy, and a pair of eyes flashing with a crimson glow...
If those could even be called eyes.
Ron could feel that this creature was evaluating his worth in its own way, like a gourt assessing an expensive dish.
This suffocating sense of oppression was even greater than what he experienced when facing the "Holy Disc".
Back then, at least he could find its weakness, but now... he was nearly on the brink of death before he could even react.
"... can’t... just... die here..."
Ron gritted his teeth, enduring indescribable pain, and began to reassemble his remaining Spiritual Power.
Accompanied by that instinct to survive, his mind gradually regained so clarity, quickly analyzing the current situation.
The enemy in front of him moved at a speed far beyond his reaction capability; pure defense was clearly ineffective.
But if he could anticipate the next attack, perhaps he could find a chance to counterattack.
First, he needed to understand this creature’s attack pattern.
The newly acquired "Hermit’s Knowledge" began to co into play.
He could sense that the energy within the hound was regrouping, clearly preparing for a second attack.
And this ti, the energy was gathering faster and with more intensity than before.
It seed the creature had confird Ron’s "deliciousness" and decided to intensify its hunting effort.
There wasn’t much ti; action was needed imdiately.
"Combine ’Super Magic Techniques’ with ’Flowing Shield Wall’... along with the defensive correction ford after the first hit due to the ’Eternal Engraving’ trait, plus the reinforcent of the spell structure by ’Micro-structure Adaptation’..."
Ron swiftly mobilized all available Spiritual Power to construct a brand-new defensive system.
Unlike the previous shield wall that solely relied on energy density, this ti his defense system was designed to be more precise and complex.
It was as if dozens of miniature Energy Circuits were added on top of the original barrier, each layer absorbing part of the impact and redirecting it in another direction.
Energy flowed and interwove in his consciousness, forming an exquisitely delicate defensive network.
Almost simultaneously as he completed the final layer of defense, the Ti Hound’s second attack was already upon him!
The horrifying proboscis stabbed forward even faster than the last ti but encountered layer upon layer of energy ripples.
Each layer it pierced slowed it down, dispersing the energy further.
Although it could not be fully stopped, Ron at least gained precious reaction ti.
Just as the proboscis was about to pierce his consciousness again, Ron decisively released his long-accumulated "Spiritual Shock"!
A pure spiritual shockwave erupted from his consciousness core, striking the Ti Hound’s center akin to tangible lightning.
This attack did not rely on physical form; it acted directly on the existential essence.
Any being with a conscious structure could hardly evade it completely.
"Sss——"
An odd hiss emanated from the Ti Hound.
It was not a sound in the usual sense but rather so frequency of energy fluctuation.
Its movents noticeably stalled, with the proboscis nearing Ron’s consciousness halting just milliters away.
Its terrifying suction was still attempting to extract his Spiritual Energy.
"Now! The pocket watch!"
Seizing the fleeting opportunity, Ron decisively activated his strongest life-saving tool carried with him.
Space seed to freeze around him for an instant, and the flow of ti beca viscous and slow.
With a subtle energy fluctuation, the gaping hole in his consciousness began to heal at a speed visible to the eye.
The shattered consciousness structure reford, the forcibly extracted Spiritual Energy began to flow back, and the damaged Spiritual Power circuits gradually regained vitality.
Ron could feel his condition improving rapidly; his consciousness cleared, and his thoughts beca more agile.
Though not fully restored to peak condition, it was sufficient for him to continue fighting.
Almost as soon as his recovery was complete, Ron imdiately infused all his Spiritual Power into his strongest Attack Magic.
—Sound Wave Oscillation - Erosion State!
Invisible sound waves, like tangible blades, tore through space, striking directly at the Ti Hound’s core.
The mont the sound waves contacted the Ti Hound, the effect was imdiate.
The constantly morphing entity suddenly froze, its form showing obvious distortion and fragntation as if a mirror struck by a heavy hamr.
Several deep cracks spread from the point of contact outward, as if the entire creature was on the brink of collapse.
"Effective!"
Ron’s eyes lit up, and a glimr of hope surged in his heart:
"Continue the attack, don’t give it a chance to recover!"
Just as he was preparing to launch a second wave of attacks, a bone-chilling scene occurred...
The Ti Hound’s body, like a reversed playback, reassembled every shattered part at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Those profound cracks seed never to have appeared, and the entire creature was almost instantly restored as if untouched!
"Damn it!" Ron’s pupils contracted abruptly, cold despair climbing his spine:
"It can also reset its state? And it seems to be an innate instinct, able to be used without any dium..."
This was the worst situation.
With the Silver Pocket Watch’s ti abilities, he might barely manage to protect himself.
But if the opponent could also manipulate ti, then his greatest advantage would be completely nullified.
The Ti Hound seed to be enraged by this attack.
