Although Abe possessed the legendary equipment, [Engels. Beast Shave],
which could help him quickly execute such flesh-and-blood entities,
due to the special traits of this Skull Girl, having slaughtered a large number of humans in the market beforehand,
transformed and collected hundreds of skulls adhered to its surface... making it so that Abe could not reach the core directly,
only cleaving a large opening in the group’s surface, still some distance from the core’s location,
while also encountering a fierce counterattack.
Penetrating tongues, immensely powerful, slammed against Abe’s body, even reaching the plane of the soul.
Even with the traits of "Real Dragon Soul Body" greatly increasing soul resistance... it still made Abe very uncomfortable.
"Mr. Han Dong, give me a hand!
This creature’s core is hidden deep inside... If we don’t seize this opportunity and let her adjust, we’ll be in trouble. This Skull Girl’s level should be around mid-myth period, very difficult to kill."
As soon as the words were spoken,
Han Dong placed his hands on the ground, constructing a blood formation.
Dozens of Bloodhounds with long snouts tearing, canine manes fluttering, and saliva wildly flying, were created.
They transformed into blood shadows attacking the Skull Girl from various directions, tearing at the skulls on its surface, diverting attention. Googlᴇ search novel(ꜰ)ire.net
Han Dong spontaneously concocted a name for a blood secret art - "Blood Hand Open Sky".
He plunged his arms into the formation he just drew,
Two gigantic blood arms took shape in the space above the Skull Girl,
clutching down, firmly grasping the crack Abe had made,
as if prying open a durian,
pulling left and right with force simultaneously.
During the hand-tearing process, Han Dong deliberately let the blood energy surge, appearing flushed in the face, as if exerting all his strength.
A bloody rain fell over the market,
the mass of hundreds of heads was completely torn in half,
exposing the central skull, screaming due to body tearing and blood infiltration,
"Flame of the Real Dragon"
Abe naturally wouldn’t waste such an excellent opportunity, encircling his body with real dragon flames
ignoring the tongue’s licking, crashing, or twisting within his body,
Abe plunged into the torn crack,
his dragon-formed right arm tightly gripping the skull, pulling with all his might...
Sticky blood threads and skin were torn apart,
and the Skull Girl’s core was extracted by Abe’s brute force,
the short-handled axe in his left arm swinging simultaneously,
splitting the skull, chopping it to pieces in execution.
The screams ceased at this moment, another mythical skull was executed.
The ’offspring’ created by this Skull Girl died one after another, bursting like balloons.
A gaze stronger than before swept across Abe’s entire body, even freezing the beast within him.
a second "Skull Mark" formed on his back, the mark deepening.
Abe took a deep breath, brushing back his blood-soaked white hair with his hand.
"Thank you, Mr. Han Dong!
The blood secret art you just used was mighty... Your true strength should have reached the mythical peak, right?"
Han Dong, breathing heavily, sat on the ground, wiping the sweat from his forehead,
"I nearly exerted my full strength just now, the key to quick victory lies entirely in the ’initial attack’ opportunity created by Captain Abe."
Compared to the battle, Han Dong’s attention was more focused on the "disguise" aspect,
the name ’Nicholas’ shouted by Mia was the main reason for his sweating.
Han Dong turned his perfectly disguised face towards the woman curled up in the corner,
locking eyes with her,
even his gaze passed through Han Dong’s multiple layers of processing and coverage.
After about ten seconds of eye contact,
Mia’s pupils flashed with a trace of disappointment, and she said gratefully, "Thank you very much~"
Seeing this, Han Dong also took a breath of relief, "Captain Abe and I were already jointly hunting the Skull Girl hidden in Holy City, just lent a hand."
"Um... I’m very sorry, I might need some time to expel the ’debris’ inside me and to recover."
Due to the death of the mythical Skull Girl,
the ’uncontrolled substance’ that was infiltrating Mia’s body became masterless, significantly reducing the threat. As long as it can be expelled, the danger will be eliminated.
Han Dong provided a completely different suggestion.
"Knight Miss, if I’m not mistaken, your primary specialization should be ’curse’? The uncontrolled substances infiltrating your body are also a different kind of curse.
Since the Skull Girl has been killed,
you can try to assimilate these masterless [uncontrolled substances], which might lead to entirely different growth.
I am giving this opinion from a demon’s perspective, whether to take the risk is your decision."
Under normal circumstances,
Mia, in such a critically injured state, would definitely not take such a risk... she might even turn into a Skull Girl.
However, having just returned from the brink of death, her mindset drastically changed,
and one more crucial point,
a strange sense of trust towards this stranger who saved her.
"Alright... I’ll try."
Abe quickly stepped forward, worriedly saying, "Shouldn’t Mia rest for a bit before proceeding with the curse assimilation?"
Han Dong, however, gave a negative response:
"No~ The Skull Girl is dead, and the substance remaining in her body is dissipating. Now is the best time."
Mia, with her mind made up, closed her eyes, actively accepting and absorbing the cursed substances within her body.
Mia’s neck, stitched by spider threads, began to autonomously fracture.
This scene startled Abe, thinking she was about to undergo an out-of-control transformation, he rushed forward to stop her.
However, during the process of head separation, Mia opened her eyes, excitedly saying,
"My mythical puzzle is adding new components! Abe, can I have the skull remnants you just executed?
I feel like I might touch the mythical membrane, there might be a breakthrough here."
Han Dong immediately followed up with, "Abe, give it to her..."
Abe scrutinized Mia’s condition with dragon eyes,
confirmed that she hadn’t undergone any mutation, then tossed the cleaved mythical Skull Girl over,
because it had just been killed less than a minute ago, the essence was still retained within the skull cavity, not yet dispersed...
Mia directly inserted her spider mouthparts into the skull, taking great gulps of the remaining essence.
And at the moment of sucking dry the Skull Girl,
Mia’s head began to actively detach from her body... Swish! Reduced organs connected to the spine’s surface, rising with the head, drawn out of the body.
As if completely forsaking the original spider body.
With the integration of this new curse,
Mia became centered around the head, starting to construct an entirely new body,
a unique mythical aura spreading around,
Spiders with human heads grew due to the domain’s influence, crawling all over the room.
Han Dong remained silent, monitoring Mia’s mental state the entire time, ensuring she didn’t fall into an out-of-control evil path.
A beam of peculiar cursed light shot skyward,
Mia Seminovich transformed into a new type of curse medium, containing components of demon, human, and uncontrolled substance,
also due to the Skull Girl’s curse, reconstructing inside her a mythical puzzle of "Legendary" grade,
formed with a slender body covered in curse patterns, lightly stepping on the ground,
wearing a "Skull Bracelet" on her wrist, adorned with nine miniature human heads with different expressions,
with this accompanying magic tool, releasing extremely lethal corporeal curses was within reach,
she had stepped into a cursed domain she never imagined before.
