Chapter 693: Chapter 674: Aura (End of Volume)
Whether he uses conventional means to regenerate flesh, constructs an arm by blowing up balloons, or even attaches the driver’s arm, it is all futile.
As soon as the arm is reattached, it begins to wither.
“Why can’t my left arm regenerate? Check latest chapters at novel·fire.net
Could that man’s cuts permanently erase limbs? Wait, did I lose my left arm a long time ago, have I been disabled since birth?”
Joke suddenly fell into a mental block.
Many fragmented images flashed through his brain, including scenes that didn’t belong to the Human World, corners he had never visited.
Just then, the vehicle passed by the street near a park.
Suddenly, a person stepped out onto the crosswalk meant for a green light… stepping into the road in heavy work boots, just blocking the path.
A pitch-black weapon steaming in his hand.
The car split in two,
The driver’s side crashed directly into the shop by the roadside, exploding into flames! The person was swallowed whole by fire.
Joke’s half of the car flipped over several times, finally crashing into the park gate. His reaction was extremely quick, escaping unscathed by using balloon tethering.
The mysterious figure is closing in on him.
Joke decisively ran into the park; any passerby he encountered along the way would succumb to “Clown Infection.”
Altered passersby immediately rushed towards the park entrance, attempting to block the mysterious figure pursuing them.
Any form of approach would be instantly beheaded.
Joke could clearly feel the intensity of this beheading, even though he has reached Monster Level, he couldn’t resist.
He fled to the center of the park, where a familiar memorial stood.
For some reason, fragmentary memories began to emerge again, Joke could sense something important existed within the memorial.
He ran inside at top speed, reaching the deepest part of the memorial.
There lay a deep pit, with a skeleton buried at the bottom, surrounded by fog.
Joke hurriedly pulled the skeleton up using his balloon tethering, upon contact, Joke’s original skull melted away instantly, while the skeleton’s skull replaced it.
≮Mist System Acquired, Fear Trait High Compatibility≯
“This is a fundamental fear from the Corner Depths, now turned into my asset!?”
Mist enveloped Joke’s face,
Whether it’s the circulating blood in his body or the balloons he created, all were replaced by mist, greatly enhancing his abilities.
He could even scatter this mist as a domain, using it for personal escape or prey capture.
Joke simultaneously felt fast growth, the pituitary plant had matured, forming a fusion state with the mist.
Joke still chose not to confront, his first thought was to flee, completely hiding with his mist abilities.
As he prepared to leave the memorial, it’s as if a passage had opened behind him.
Heavy work boots were already stepping right behind him, less than two meters away.
The entire memorial was sliced with a smooth cut, turning into an open structure.
Joke’s body was similarly divided into two, spewing mist-blood, instantly escaping using mist abilities.
Clearly, he had already become completely mist-like, all abilities centered around [Survival].
But the recent slash inflicted substantial injury, the healed body still bore an exaggerated scar on the abdomen, emanating pain.
“Why can he still hurt me!? What is this blade of his, could he have cut through something higher-ranking?”
Joke was terrified beyond belief, rushing around the streets like a headless fly, the confidence brought by the Mist System utterly vanished.
Just as he passed a street, something caught his eye.
The end of the dark alley beside him seemed to flicker with light, something was drawing him in.
Once more, Joke followed this familiar feeling, entering a mysterious comic book store set there.
Pushing open the sliding door, stepping inside the shop.
Despite being filled with a wide variety of comic books, Joke directly focused on one of them.
“Human Head Balloons”
The aura of this book completely resonated with him.
Reaching out to touch,
The comic directly flowed into his flesh, merging with the pituitary plant, completing the final transformation.
In the amusement park-like pituitary space
A plant purely woven of balloons stood at the center, connected to a blower at its base, the entire plant in an active state.
The top of the branches connected to “fruits” via balloon lines,
Each Human Head Balloon Joke had once harvested attached there.
“Pituitary Plant Comprehensive Ranking-NO.45, §My Most Proud Creation§”
“My state is getting better! I am truly a monster, even in the Corner, I can become the utmost existence… but escaping must take precedence now.
I have to survive first, there’s no need to confront such an ‘unknown’ entity head-on.”
Exiting the comic store, Joke immediately activated his new abilities, body-separation!
His head turned into a balloon floating skyward,
His body transformed into mist, spreading outward.
Any passerby touched by the mist would be “inflated,” turned into Human Head Balloons.
