Chapter 114 The Undying Body
Aoi was the first to follow Fein's instruction as she opened her mouth and an icy blue flame was released going in the direction of the squirming flesh.
Good move, Ice can freeze and slow down the regeneration of the Statue... Fein looked thoughtful.
Sofia commanded her dark domain, the darkness in the surrounding condense into a 68-meter dark scythe, it was hanging in the sky waiting to reap the lives of the mortals.
"You really like scythes don't you" Fein couldn't help but comment.
Sofia smiled at him, "Since I was a child, I admire the story of Death Reapers"
After saying this the dark scythe was controlled by an invisible force as it falls toward the platinum statue's lower body that was regenerating at a speed equivalent to a running car.
Voli, on the other hand, was intending to smash the enemy with his 50-meter paws that were covered by the visible dark wind, his paw was distorting the air, there are faint traces of lightning on it...
Under Fein's observation, he saw Aoi's 'Snow Flame' make a contact with the enemy, it covered the whole body, freezing every cell and tissue and slowing down the cell activity in the process. The fast squirming flesh that was constantly repairing the damaged cells began to slow down as it moves at a snail's pace.
Fein suddenly realized something.
So the Death Curse Aura of my sword was effective after all, but its regeneration was just too strong, I think it was even stronger than the vampires.
Aoi only stopped after she saw her master's attack arrive.
The dark scythe is made of dark energy which suppressed the light in the surrounding, the ominous dark scythe cleaves through the frozen lower body of the statue eradicating its cell due to the special attribute of the dark energy.
Now, only a pair of feet are left, and Voli's attack came, smashing them with full force.
The two feet catapulted far away from the huge impact, as they collided through the green walls.
"Let's see if that statue is dead" After saying this, Fein used his probing ability.
Name: Shura's Statue
Type: Rare Artifact
Degu Amount: A
STR: S
AGI: S
END: S+
Abilities: Undying Body, Air Pressure, Gravitational Pull, Hyper Regen, Fusion, Dark Beam
"Shit... This statue isn't a creature! It's an artifact..." Fein said as he scanned the area covered by dust.
Sofia gasped, as the cold air went to her nostrils, "Doesn't that mean that it won't die?"
Fein became silent, as he looked thoughtfully at the Undying Body and Hyper Regen ability in the interface. suddenly the abilities expand, and the system relayed the information of the abilities that he neglect when they were fighting earlier. His entire focus was on the battle as he can't afford to take care of other things.
[Undying Body (Passive)- Gives the user an undying body, the user can still survive as long as one atom still exists.]
[Hyper Regen (Passive)- The user can recover body parts with ease.]
Seeing this, Fein couldn't help but recall Deadpool of Marvel. Isn't it the same undying ability? It seems we really need to disintegrate the statue until there is no scum left...
The problem is I only have 30% of my degu reserves and I don't have a recovery potion anymore.
And it seems others are also exhausted after using all of their abilities. Should we just escape? Yeah, I think it's the only option.
Fein looked at his companions who were exhausted. Voli had already shrunk as he can't maintain his giant body for longer periods of time, and his last attack had consumed at least half of his degu energy. Then he shifted his gaze at Sofia who can still maintain the dark domain. but he knew that the Dark Scythe should have taken a toll on her as her eyes look droopy, and her lips were quivering.
"Are you okay?" Fein couldn't help but worry about her state.
"Yes, I can still fight, I have 50% dark energy and 50% blood energy in my reserves." Sofia walked beside Fein. "Is the statue dead?"
"No, we can only escape now, I bet it was regenerating as we are talking... Let's go!"
The three followed Fein's running back...
"Do you really think you can escape that easily?" A hoarse voice emerged from the void.
Strong gravitation pulls suddenly acted. Fein felt that his entire body became heavy as if the weight of an entire mountain came on his back which slowed down his movement significantly, even lifting his finger was a challenge.
Ding! The user was affected by ability!
[Gravitational Pull (Active)- A control ability that would cover an entire area. It can amplify the gravitation pull of the area by 105 times!]
Fein wasn't surprised as he already saw this ability on the status of Platinum Statue.
Sofia, on the other hand, was horrified at the sudden pressure that restricted her movement, she was kneeling on the ground as the strength of her body haven't reached the level of Fein's yet. She glanced on their back and she saw the dust have already cleared, standing there was an already intact statue, it has a mocking smile on its face, and a bloodthirsty vibe was emanating from its whole being.
The statue walked step by step producing a tremor on the ground, the smile on its face was chilling, and Sofia felt intense anxiety drowning her.
Thump! thump! thump!
"You will pay for your presumptuousness! Dying with my hands is already an honor..." The statue threw the spear away as it clenched its fist.
Its footsteps became faster and faster-- until it started running with a crazy smile on its face.
Fein kept his calm even with the dire situation they are in. "Guys, if we can survive this, I hope we celebrate."
After saying this, he moved his hand toward his blade, the veins kept popping on the skin's surface as he struggled to fight the strong gravitational force.
The statue looked at the struggling ants, it raised its hands like it was intending to squash them.
Just like that, it clenched its fist as it move in Sofia's direction...
Under Sofia's horrified expression the fist was already 5 inches from her, she closed her eyes as she knew she can't escape this.
Boom!
A sound of bones being broken registered in her ears, but it wasn't hers! and the expected pain didn't happen, and this obviously confused her. She opened her eyes only to see Fein's bloodied body blocking the fist of the statue in her previous place.
Did he use his 'Substitution' to block the attack for me? A teardrop fell on Sofia's scarlet irises unconsciously as she saw Fein's miserable state because of her.
