Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 57 The Cat-and-Mouse Showdown (Please continue reading)

Chapter 57

"Is this a Sequence 8 Gray Ratman who has mastered divinity?"

After observing the two sides in battle for a while through the Hunter God's Eye, Rosen came to a conclusion.

Sixteen human Sequence 7s were completely overwhelmed by a single gray ratman Sequence 8 with several physical clones.

At this time, all the human superhumans were injured, and some of those hiding in the middle were so badly injured that they looked almost like mummies.

If this continues, there's a high probability that this group of Sequence 7 humans will all die here.

For a fleeting moment, Rosen had the idea of ​​reaping the benefits.

However, after assessing the strength of both sides, he immediately rejected this crazy idea.

Even if that Sequence 8 Gray Ratman kills a thousand enemies but loses eight hundred of his own, he is still no match for a Sequence 9 who can easily take advantage of him.

So it's best to play it safe and see if there's another chance.

The power displayed by the Gray Rat Man progenitor completely exceeded the maximum estimates of more than a dozen human Sequence 7s.

Soon, some people couldn't hold on any longer and turned to leave. The Gray Rat Ancestor not only didn't stop them, but also took the initiative to stop attacking those who left.

Even if you kill these human Sequence 7s and push them to the brink, they will still face a desperate counterattack.

As long as it doesn't prevent him from obtaining the rat teeth, he can temporarily set aside his hatred for humans.

An avalanche often starts with the first snowflake and becomes unstoppable. After the first Sequence 7 chose to escape, the remaining Sequence 7s also chose to evacuate. In the end, only Kaman and his group of three Sequence 7s remained, teetering on the brink of collapse under the siege of the Gray Ratman Progenitor's true form and clones.

However, the progenitor of the gray ratmen slowed down his offensive at this time.

He could easily tell that the human who had brought him into this world was the nobleman before him.

The fact that this nobleman still refuses to hand over the rat teeth can only be explained by the fact that he has other hidden methods.

This person has methods but chooses not to use them. It's simply that humans want to monopolize his divinity, so they choose to let him drive away the other human Sequence 7s. This is also beneficial to him. No matter what methods this human is hiding, facing three is better than facing more than a dozen.

Both sides are now slowing their offensives, simply because they are worried that some human Sequence 7s may appear to be retreating while actually hiding in the shadows preparing to launch a sneak attack.

Therefore, both sides tacitly probed the outside world, and only when they confirmed that all the other human Sequence 7s had really left would it be the time for them to truly fight to the death.

If there were any human Sequence 7s hiding in the shadows at this time, they would even tacitly join forces to deal with the spy in the dark first.

Rosen, having anticipated this, retrieved the God-Slaying Crossbow early on.

However, he opened the window to enhance his hearing, relying on it to carefully discern the fighting within the rat trails in the distance.

After confirming several times that no one was secretly watching, Kaman reluctantly took out a miniature fighting cage the size of a palm.

This is a Sequence 7 Disposable Extraordinary Artifact, the Beast Cage, a replica of the Sequence 3 Extraordinary Artifact, the King's Beast Cage. The value of this one-time use Beast Cage is almost more than his entire fortune. How could he allow someone else to steal his glory after paying so much?

The moment Kaman activated the fighting cage, the Gray Ratman progenitor instinctively felt a sense of fear.

With his knowledge, it wasn't hard for him to see that this was a replica of a demigod's extraordinary artifact.

Although it only contains divine aura and not true divinity, it is currently only Sequence 8, and even if it has divinity, it can only exert power equivalent to Sequence 7.

The Gray Rat Man's progenitor instinctively wanted to retreat, but the fighting cage unfolded too quickly.

The surrounding ten-meter space was instantly covered by a fighting cage made of energy.

Kaman and the progenitor of the gray ratmen are trapped inside. Only the survivor can leave the arena and, upon victory, obtain the other's most valuable possession. Furthermore, the arena provides additional advantages to Kaman, the manipulator.

Outside the fighting cage, Kaman can only maintain his dimensional cat form for seventy seconds.

However, inside the fighting cage, Kaman can continuously transform into a dimensional cat.

However, once Kaman transforms into the Dimensional Cat inside the fighting cage, he will be unable to switch to other beast transformation forms within the cage.

Seeing Kaman transform into a dimensional cat again, the Gray Rat Ancestor forcibly suppressed his instinctive urge to burrow underground.

To effectively counter the Dimensional Cat, one must exhaust its spiritual energy.

As for dodging and defense, lower-order sequences are almost ineffective against dimensional cats.

Therefore, the Gray Ratman Ancestor could only constantly switch positions with his clones. For a time, dozens of Gray Ratman Ancestors ran around the fighting cage without any rules. However, even if these clones brushed past Kaman, they would not take the initiative to extend their claws at Kaman.

Therefore, at this moment, Kaman's true form is located in the dimensional interlayer and is not harmed by the real world.

However, as soon as Kaman attacks, his true form will immediately leave the dimensional barrier.

So both sides were waiting for an opportunity. Kaman was searching for the true form of the Gray Ratman Progenitor, and the Gray Ratman Progenitor was also waiting for that moment to counterattack. Finally, Kaman selected the most suspicious target, and his cat claws pierced through the void and grabbed the true form of the Gray Ratman Progenitor.

Despite the Gray Rat Man progenitor's best efforts to dodge, one of his hind legs was still caught by Kaman.

The Dimensional Cat's claws possessed a built-in space-tearing ability that could break through defenses, easily ripping off one of the Gray Ratman Progenitor's legs.

However, at that moment, a clone of the Gray Ratman progenitor beside Kaman bit the tail that the Dimensional Cat had lashed out at him.

The clone was directly blasted apart by the tail, but the tail also suffered a wound, from which a dark green supernatural plague virus began to spread.

Both sides were like deadly assassins, and their instantaneous clash resulted in mutual destruction.

Kaman ruthlessly cut off his own tail, and the gray ratman ancestor's three-legged crawling speed also slowed down considerably.

Kaman changed his strategy; he hadn't expected the clone of the Gray Ratman progenitor to be so powerful.

However, while the clones deal significant damage, their defense is extremely weak.

Kaman instantly teleported to the corner of the fighting cage, leaning against it with his back, and then began to frantically scratch at himself with his front paws.

The spatial rifts torn between the claws completely covered the area in front of Kaman.

All the damage from the claw strikes penetrated space and affected the clone of the Gray Ratman Progenitor.

Dozens of clones were wiped out at once, but Kaman was also much weaker and was panting heavily.

Kaman lunged directly at the progenitor of the gray ratmen, who in turn charged at him without flinching.

The cat and mouse engaged in a life-or-death close-quarters battle within the fighting cage. Both were high in attack but low in defense, and within seconds they were both covered in blood and gore. Upon closer inspection, the gray rat-man ancestor appeared to be less injured.
Because of the power of divinity, the Gray Rat Man progenitor was much more resistant to damage than Kaman.

Just as Kaman was about to die, his transformed dimensional cat suddenly swelled up and its tail grew back.

It was as if in an instant, it transformed from an immature kitten into a fully grown dimensional cat.

The space around him distorted at that moment, blocking all the damage from the Gray Ratman Progenitor.

Conversely, the ability of Kaman's claws to tear space is multiplied, and each claw strike inflicts severe damage on the Gray Ratman progenitor.

A few seconds passed, and the body of the Gray Ratman Progenitor had been torn to pieces, leaving only his head still alive, glaring resentfully at Kaman.
