Another Negary was standing below the Omniscient Eye, as if the one that Fang Ze destroyed earlier was someone completely unrelated.
Besides him, the other three people in his base also stood up.
The hovering Omniscient Eye started to morph. As it no longer contained Soul Essence, its structure gradually changed and returned to its purest golden liquid formââ Soulâs Blood, then hovered behind Negary.
Negary stood facing Fang Ze. Having finished his test with the illusion, he could now understand what the so-called [Protagonist Aura] actually was. Naturally, there were still finer details that he didnât know about it, but he understood what he needed to understand, and that was enough.
ã It seems a battle would be necessary after all ã
Negary slowly approached Fang Ze, picked up the sword that he had dropped earlier and rushed at him without wasting any words.
Both Killer J and Noah also moved towards their own targets, only Lan Shan remained where she was, closely observing Negary.
âThatâs impossible, Iâm sure that I destroyed your soul just now...â Fang Ze unleashed Disasforce from his hand to parry Negaryâs sword and unhesitatingly retaliated with a punch, his face glum.
After connecting to so many people within the illusion, Fang Ze seemed to have automatically grasped a lot of things, now fully capable of utilizing his interference force, permeating it into every bit of Disasforce he unleashed.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
While Negaryâs sword originally had the ability to cut off his mental connection with his Disasforce, the weapon would now be interrupted by Fang Zeâs interference force before it could reach his Disasforce. At the same time, Fang Zeâs Disasforce was also constantly shifting and moving, ensuring that Negaryâs sword couldnât break through.
Negaryâs sword constantly thrust forward like falling raindrops in a storm, the raw strength of his bodyâs viral constitution combined with his Disasforce imbued the sword with incredible destructive capabilities. Furthermore, Negaryâs sword skills were unmatched, simply because he had consumed more expert sword users than other people had even met in their entire lives.
Every bit of force he used was just enough, striking at points where Fang Ze would have used to exert his own strength, forcing Fang Ze into a restrained state.
From the perspective of pure strength, Fang Ze should be stronger than Negary. After all, not only did he have the same Disaster King-level Disasforce, he had also reached the second stage of release and received the improvements that came with it.
And yet, the current situation was one where Negary was completely overpowering Fang Ze. If not for the Disasforce that protected his body, he would have been killed by Negary several times over.
âWang Yuan!â Fang Ze once again roared Negaryâs alias in fury, as if that would actually bring him strength. His combat experience was improving at an inhuman rate, the property of his Disasforce constantly changing like a flipbook.
While defending, it would change to He Qiaoâs plant attribute and gain immense vitality. Whenever there was a short window of opportunity, it would change to his own Authority that contained the âforce of impactâ and âhigh temperatureâ property. And even the Authorities of others: [Bone Fracture] which had the âbreakingâ property, [Pothole] which had the âsinkingâ and âabrupt crackâ property, [Stray Arrow] which allowed him to control projectiles while attacking from afar.
Constantly using so many diverse abilities fluidly should have allowed Fang Ze to be practically unbeatable, and yet he was mercilessly suppressed by Negary. Negaryâs utilization of power, ability to read humans, as well as his selection of stratagem far exceeded what Fang Ze would ever be capable of.
ã Your next words are: Why am I still inferior to you!? ãNegary suddenly declared as he shifted his body and delivered a kick onto Fang Zeâs chest.
âWhy am I still inferior to you!?â hearing the words that he subconsciously uttered, Fang Zeâs face went pale.
As his Disasforce was released for a split second, Negaryâs figure flashed and appeared immediately in front of Fang Ze. A white flash appeared in his vision, causing Fang Zeâs pupils to dilate. Fortunately, Fang Ze only lost focus and control of his interference force for a split second; the Disasforce in front of his body exploded and sent him flying backwards.
Blood cleanly flowed, another wound had been inflicted on top of Fang Zeâs forehead at almost the exact same position as the first, except this one was tilted left instead of right.
An old wound and a new wound, the two of them overlapped to make an [X], as if to deny Fang Ze himself.
Humans were creatures that constantly received and processed information from their environment. Since the very beginning of this battle, Negary had been using both his actions and inaction to guide Fang Zeâs thoughts, sowing subconscious suggestions, then triggered them through his words.
...
âA Ze!â Liu Shi had been constantly paying attention to Fang Zeâs situation, so she immediately noticed as this happened and hurriedly tried to rush towards him.
A bright red glass blade immediately appeared behind Liu Shiâs back and stabbed her without hesitation. However, numerous vines quickly appeared and coiled around Killer Jâs wrist, preventing him from delivering the killing blow.
Liu Shi finally recognized the danger. Her IQ once again went online as she rolled forward and avoided the dagger from Killer Jâs other hand.
âTrust in A Ze, this is his fight!â He Qiaoâs tone was filled with nothing but worry, but still declared that.
âThat brat looks like heâs going to die soon, would you two beauties be interested in volunteering as my second and third mistresses?â Killer J glanced around the battlefield and asked. Zhang Wei and Lu Tong were also here, staring coldly at Killer J. Meanwhile Noah was also holding off the four people from the D.E.R division by himself.
Liu Shi turned around and glared at Killer J full of killing intent. This guy was exactly like an annoying fly, no matter how they tried to attack him, he would still be able to detect it ahead of time and casually avoid it without trouble.
It was four against one, but the four of them were the side being held off, and if they made just the slightest mistake, the dangerously glowing red glass blade in his hand would mercilessly thrust at them.
âSeems like Iâll have to resort to my secret moveâ Killer J smiled brightly, wielding a blade of killing intent in both his left and right hand, followed by a third blade of killing intent that appeared between his teeth. He then shouted the name of the technique in a physically impossible manner: âOgi â Sanzen Sekai!â (TN: Roronoa Zoroâs 3-sword style ultimate technique)
Killer Jâs body then started spinning on its own like a miniature tornado, the blades striking the air produced countless âshi shiâ sounds that subconsciously caused the people here to produce even more killing intent against him.
...
On the other side, Noah coldly stood and observed the four people from the D.E.R division, asking them: âArenât you worried? You should know, the current Fang Ze doesnât have even the slightest chance of victory!â
âIf weâre talking about worry, shouldnât you be more worried for yourself?â Chang Xiaâs long blade turned and swung at Noah.
âMy Lord pronounced: blades cannot approach my bodyâ an invisible force abruptly manifested to block Chang Xiaâs attack, and Noahâs voice continued: âMy Lord pronounced: gunpowder will lose their effectâ
Seven had just pulled the trigger, only to find that her gun didnât react at all, giving her no choice but to draw a dagger and rushed at Noah.
Xiao Ba Fu stood on the backline, constantly exercising his [Bone Fracture] Authority, his relatively weak Disasforce also surged towards Noah.
Meanwhile, since he received friendly fire earlier and had now broken bones, Zhang Zi Jie could only hide in a corner, waiting for an opportunity to effectively use his [Pothole] Authority.
Grabbing Sevenâs hand by her wrist with one hand and parrying Chang Xiaâs long blade with the other, Noah displayed an expert level of close combat capabilities while maintaining his ever-natural expression: âHow weak, who actually gave you the courage to challenge My Lord?â
