From the end of the world

Chapter 201 VS Chen Long 4
I conquered the "Portal Armor"!
However, this conquest should only be temporary, and may even be a one-time thing.

Even if the defensive means he used were special, Chen Long was essentially a demon hunter who had undergone a transformation surgery to become a monster and used strengthening his body as the main means of combat. Therefore, he obviously took the route of greatly strengthening his original five senses in terms of perception. But before he betrayed Luo Shan, he was still a battle-hardened master-level impermanence. I don't think his means of perception were limited to physiological perceptions such as vision and hearing. He probably still used them - and even used exploration spells in parallel to make up for some disadvantages of physiological perception.

Once he realizes how I conquered the "Portal Armor", he will definitely abandon his vision and switch his way of perceiving the external environment to mainly using detection spells, and then become invincible again.

I must kill him before he can regroup.

He was still struggling in the flames, and was attacking me frantically. In such a short time, my flames were enough to kill him seven or eight times. The reason why he was not dead yet was because of the power of restart.

The power of restarting makes everything that should have been destroyed reunite. From another perspective, this kind of binding force is also the power that makes matter strangely solid. The aftermath of the battle between Chen Long and I should have blasted this secret base more than once, but the base still stands; the same is true for Chen Long himself. The flames that just broke out should have blown him to pieces, but he can still continue to fight.

While my flames were destroying his body and soul, Dr. Silver Mask's power of restart was also rapidly repairing his injuries. But in terms of efficiency, I was still better. Chen Long seemed to have heard the call of the god of death, becoming more and more crazy, forcibly enduring the burning pain of hell all over his body, and desperately punched me with a fist filled with white explosion light.

"I won't lose...I can't lose!"

He seemed to have been burned to the point of being unconscious, but he still roared out a vow mixed with pain and firm will: "I... will save!!"

What a strong obsession!

As the sound came out, a strong white light burst out from his body and he grabbed towards me.

Is he planning to launch a self-destruction attack and die together with me?

Even though I was unable to increase the density of my fire elemental body to its maximum and my movement speed was slowed down by the power of restart, his obvious tactic of mutual destruction should not be able to hit me. But at this moment, the power of restart acting on me suddenly increased significantly, causing my flame transmission to slow down by half a beat.

I immediately realized that it was the Silver Mask Doctor who was secretly watching our fight, cooperating with Chen Long's tactic of dying together, and using all the power of restarting that was applied to the entire base to suppress me alone. Chen Long took the opportunity to hold me tightly in his arms.

Their actions seemed futile, because at this moment, strictly speaking, I was not the fire elemental body that was fighting Chen Long. The sea of ​​fire that enveloped the entire stronghold was my body. It seemed useless to just destroy this humanoid body.

But it's not that simple, they actually found the right strategy. Perhaps Dr. Silver Mask relied on his excellent knowledge and vision, while Chen Long relied on his outstanding sixth sense, they both clearly grasped that this body was my "weak point".

Firstly, this body is the most dense part of the sea of ​​fire, and it can be said that it is the part where my soul is concentrated the most. Even the sea of ​​fire around it exists to support this body. Secondly, my consciousness has a center of gravity. If I can put my psychological activities in this battle into words, I can also see that the narrative is centered on this body. Therefore, this part of the body is both the strongest part and the most deadly part. Attacking here is the most effective.

However, they still have misunderstandings.

They probably thought I had completely invaded this secret place, but that was not the case. I had only one foot in this place, and the other foot was still in the real world.

At the moment of Chenlong's explosion, I switched my focus to my body in the real world, and further consciously took away most of the attention that remained in the secret base. Immediately, the explosion sounded, and the white light and shock wave swept away and shattered, and more than half of the area of ​​the secret base was destroyed. This was based on the reinforcement of the power of restart, otherwise several more would be blown into ruins.

I don't know how powerful this self-explosion is against the soul, but the few souls I have left here have been torn into pieces, and the mental synchronization with the girl Lu Chan has been forcibly cancelled. And perhaps because my main body is safe and sound, even the spirit that has become a piece of paper debris can become an extension of my perception, allowing me to see the scene inside the base clearly.

In the building cavity filled with distorted high temperature, which seemed as if the space itself was distorted, countless flesh and blood gathered out of thin air as if in rewind, reorganizing Chen Long's body.

The power of restart resurrected him after he died in the self-explosion, and quickly repaired everything around him.

“Did you finish it…?”

He was suspended in the air, looking around breathlessly. It is said that the weirdo can sense the breath of souls. From his perspective, he should only feel the result that "Zhuang Cheng's soul has been scattered." But I am still alive. He seemed to have sensed something with his keen sixth sense, and his expression was full of strong alertness.

Without hesitation, he clenched his right fist. Shadow power burst out from the gaps between his fingers, quickly covering his entire body and re-forming the "portal armor". However, how could I allow him to put it on again? At the moment when the shadow power was about to completely encapsulate him, I activated the fire teleportation and came behind him.

My arm passed through the gap in the shadow force and went straight through his heart.

"What..." He turned his head in disbelief. This time, he was really going to die.

Since he is so sensitive to life and death crises, he must have noticed it by now. He looked at me with astonishment and a strong sense of despair.

Without giving him a chance to speak, I burst out a flame in the nick of time. This time he didn't even have time to scream before his body turned into black charcoal in the flames, and the shadow power covering his body evaporated instantly.

This is a zero-distance flame burst attack. Although for me who can blend my spirit into the sea of ​​fire and the heat of the environment, "attack distance" objectively doesn't matter, but subjectively I still unconsciously think that it is easier to destroy a target that is close to my body. Therefore, the power of this attack is a level higher than before.

The ubiquitous power of restarting was temporarily overwhelmed by the momentum of this attack, and was unable to help Chen Long resist the damage. I could feel that an extremely huge "slag" appeared in my flames. This was Chen Long's soul that I refined.

Almost at the same time, the rewinding and repairing process of the surrounding environment suddenly stopped, and all the restarting power was concentrated on the charred remains of Chen Long, making it reappear bones and flesh. Even the "slag" I just obtained was gradually dissolving and disappearing, turning into a healthy soul and returning to the remains of Chen Long.

I once again used all my strength to drive the flames to burn the charred remains, and the bones, flesh, and soul that had just recovered were once again reduced to charcoal and "slag". The restart power that intended to revive Chen Long and the flame power that continued to kill Chen Long were deadlocked together, it was simply an endless tug-of-war.

But this kind of resistance was not beyond my expectations. I knew very well that the power of restart would revive Chen Long. And I had already made a conclusion about this - he was going to die.

While preventing the power of the restart from taking back the "Slag", I activated the flame teleportation.

The object to be teleported is not me, but the huge "slag" corresponding to Chen Long's soul.

In an instant, the "slag" was sent outside the independent reality space. It might not be right to call this process teleportation, because this huge "slag" was not materialized from the beginning, and it was impossible to tell whether it was teleported or not. However, since they were all stored in the flames, the principle was similar to teleporting one's personal belongings from one place to another.

In this way, Chen Long no longer had any hope of resurrection.

The territory of the power of restart is limited to this independent reality space, and it is impossible to trace back the souls sent to the outside world.

Chenlong, death.

As if realizing its defeat, the power of restart retreated from the charred remains of Chen Long. And perhaps because it lost the support of mana, the charred remains could only fall to the ground, and could no longer withstand my flames, and vaporized and disappeared, leaving only a mess of charred marks on the ground.

There seemed to be a small shiny object in the charred mark.

Seeing this, I fell to the ground and took a closer look. It looked like a silver badge. It might be a small item that Chen Long carried with him when he was alive. It was completely intact under the baptism of fire.

What on earth is this? I picked up the badge out of curiosity and looked at it carefully, but I couldn't see anything special about it. It seemed to be just a metal object with a "one" carved on it in brush calligraphy. I couldn't feel any power at all. How on earth could this thing withstand my flames?

Suddenly, footsteps were heard behind me, and someone was slowly walking towards me.

Looking back, it was the girl Lu Chan. It seemed that she had confirmed the end of the battle here, so she rushed over as soon as possible.

She stopped not far away, looked at the empty charred marks on the ground, and fell silent.

I can't imagine how she feels towards Chen Long, her old friend who betrayed her, nor can I imagine how she feels when she witnesses his death.

There was no feeling of revenge on her face, but instead a hint of sadness and boredom.

She said nothing.
