Chapter 1923: Chapter 1921: Guidance
Just a single move directly breached Hyde’s defense.
This scene surprised even Boss K, his whiskers slightly raised in astonishment.
Hyde is one of the most potential-bearing “Deep-sea Divers” in the past century within the Deep Sea, whether it’s his extremely rare body or mastery of secret arts, he stands at the pinnacle among the young generation.
In the former “Potential Detection,” Hyde’s bodily potential ranks as S Level.
Moreover, supported by three whole black spines, the essence of the ancient deep-sea divers can activate the most primal potential of the body, enhancing all attributes of the body to another level.
Hyde has already fused his body with secret techniques.
These seemingly skeletal, shell-like scales are actually the manifestation of the fusion between scales and secret arts, providing extremely strong defense effects.
Han Dong’s movements were smooth and flowing, hitting a flaw precisely.
But such forceful hand attacks shouldn’t have breached the defense.
However, Boss K quickly discovered the issue.
“Is that…[Blood]that doesn’t belong to our world? If we disregard the level of blood and purely compare the ‘quality’ of the blood, it might be superior to the Blood Ancestor on the mountain.
Unexpectedly, you have such an opportunity.”
Boss K observed a very noticeable blood-red sword mark imprinted on Han Dong’s wrist.
What seemed like a barehanded slash,
Was actually equivalent to a blood sword from a different world, striking Hyde’s neck with fierce momentum.
Breaking through the absolute defense of fish scales, cutting into the indestructible flesh… If it were other mythic bodies, they’d probably be beheaded directly.
The perspective shifts back to Han Dong.
The Count inside can hardly hold back any longer.
“What kind of hardness is this? This Count has personally tested the power of the perfect Holy Sword in ‘Horror Dawn’… In such an exposed flaw, a single sword can break the truth and even kill a mythic body.
Yet it’s only managed to shatter scales and cut less than ten centimeters into the skin, not even touching the blood vessels.”
Han Dong responds quite calmly:
“This is the Eighth Element… the strongest deep-sea diver among peer level, a perfect fusion of body and secret arts.
Each fish scale is engraved with defensive secret technique formations, most effects of the Holy Blood have been offset by these scales.
As far as I remember, Hyde’s fish scales offer complete magic immunity among the same rank, so it’s expected that the Holy Sword, inclined towards magic attack, would be partially blocked.
However, this hardness is terrifying.
I originally thought I could cut at least thirty centimeters, severing the major artery.”
Han Dong withdrew his hand blade, creating some distance.
At this moment, Hyde, half-kneeling on the ground, is in a special state.
With ‘absolute exorcism’ effect of the Holy Sword,
The moment the neck was slashed, it also let blood flow into it, crazily stimulating Hyde’s demon body… The indescribable pain, on the contrary, slowly made him awaken from primal desires.
One hand covering the bleeding neck,
One hand tearing at the ancient fish scales on his face,
His deathly eyes gradually become clearer…
This change evokes a pleased smile from Boss K.
The effect he wants is precisely this, the so-called ‘membrane’ is not about becoming a king, but allowing Hyde to find his true self within the most primal Dead Sea.
Hyde can later be sent to the depths of the Dead Sea to embark on the final path to become a king.
“Nicholas? What’s happening to me?”
Aware slightly awakened, Hyde gradually recognizes the current situation. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novelFɪre.net
The fragmented memories of fighting with Han Dong also gradually piece together… Hyde couldn’t imagine he would be arranged to spar within Boss K’s body.
Seeing this, the curious Han Dong promptly asks: “Hyde, has the stimulation from the blood made you a bit clearer? Speaking of which, what’s attached to your back?”
“That’s the spine of ancient deep-sea divers…” Hyde explains the related concept to Han Dong in detail.
After hearing the relevant descriptions, Han Dong also shows great interest.
Meanwhile, he understands the real intention behind Boss K’s arrangement of this spar.
For you, who are about to become king, this thing is indeed necessary… Now, you have resisted the primordial desires flooding within.
However, merely resisting and restraining isn’t enough, you need to fully harness this special deep-sea substance, making it part of you… Come again! Sparring with me can effectively accelerate this process.”
Hyde is well aware that his rapid awakening is primarily thanks to Han Dong… the exceptional blood mixed around his neck remains incredibly stimulating.
The ensuing combat pace accelerates.
Having found his true self, Hyde, with gradually awakening awareness, no longer blindly suppressive and aggressive attacks,
He knows that to overcome Han Dong, extraordinary measures must be employed… Pure brute force won’t suffice, strategy must be incorporated, and some sacrifices are necessary.
Hyde fully utilizes the advantage of the deep sea, quietly planting important items during the fight, luring Han Dong step by step into the setup.
As the battle progresses.
Hyde’s adaptability with ‘Dead Sea attributes’ keeps increasing,
The initially externally attached black spines on his back start merging one by one into his body, becoming part of Hyde himself, fully absorbed and mastered.
As the last black spine integrates into his body, Hyde reaches his true peak state.
Han Dong is coincidentally forced into the “effective range” of the setup.
“Nicholas! Watch out!”
Hyde throws a punch capable of summoning a tsunami, further pushing Han Dong closer to the center of the setup.
Spread arms, then gather with full force!
A fierce sound echoes as both palms collide at his chest.
Some forbidden secret method is being executed…
Crackling~ The fish scales covering Hyde’s arms are unexpectedly pushed off by black-dyed octopus tentacles, exposing decayed, slimy, and foul-smelling flesh.
“Deep Sea Forbidden Spell, Heart of the Dead Sea”
A sphere of black water instantly envelops Han Dong within.
Giving no chance to escape.
During the previous battle, black water spikes manufactured by Hyde shoot from different directions.
A total of 58 spikes.
They all fall on the sphere’s surface, each further enhancing the closure effect… This forbidden technique is among the strongest binding secret methods Hyde currently masters.
The spar isn’t over, Hyde can still feel the vitality Han Dong exudes.
“Nicholas, I’ll have to hurt you a bit… Later, Laleye will provide comprehensive treatment.”
In Hyde’s palm grows a tentacle spike full of shells and scales,
Eyes deadlocked on Han Dong trapped within the black sphere, preparing for ‘Spinal Puncture.’
As long as Han Dong loses the ability to act, this spar will come to an end.
The ground of Boss K’s body cavity is stomped into a pit several meters deep.
Hyde bursts forth with extreme speed, charging straight towards the sealed Han Dong.
As he is about to close in.
Blub blub~ A series of unusual bubbles rise on the surface of the black sphere imprisoning Han Dong.
These bubbles shouldn’t be appearing.
Simultaneously, Hyde instinctively senses a danger that defies reason, desperately halting his forward charge.
As Hyde forcibly halts.
A sword formed by entwined black blood vessels, containing the essence of the cosmos within, pierces the forbidden black sphere, suspended at Hyde’s brow.
The eye opened on the sword’s surface seems capable of probing deep into his soul’s fatal weakness.
