Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 884 The Death of the Crows
In the video, the battle begins.

As the crow priest stretched out his hand, a black rain immediately began to fall from the sky. The raindrops wove into dense black lines in mid-air, pattering against the muddy ground by the lake.

Every raindrop is like a crow falling at supersonic speed!

With each crow that landed, a mud arrow half a meter high shot up, covering Damian and Slade in a machine-gun-like swarm of crows!

"Holy shit!" Jiang Wengao exclaimed in surprise.

He had read the information about the crow sacrifice and thought that the other party's attack method was to use crows to carry out long-range sniping operations. He never thought that it would be such a high-intensity "firepower" suppression!
Those mutated crows could no longer be considered crows; each shot was a powerful cannonball, carrying extreme penetrating force and aimed at Damian with 100% accuracy.

and many more!

One hundred percent?
No, it wasn't 100%. Many of the crows missed their target and crashed directly into the ground by the lake. So, not every crow used the power of super speed, right?
Just as Jiang Wengao was pondering, a tall figure emerged from the black rain in the video, like a high-speed locomotive rumbling towards the crows' sacrifice, smashing through all the crows that were still crashing down on him with an aura of destruction.

"So fast," Jiang Wengao said with a serious expression.

“He hasn’t even used his full power yet,” Xia Shou said. “His speed is far greater than that.”

The instant Xia Shou finished speaking, the video Smith was playing slowed down. They could see the crows that had crashed to the ground splashing mud, which slowly rose from the ground like stalactites growing out of the earth.

In the scene, the swirling vortex of crows in the sky has almost stopped, and the crow rain has slowed down. The crows, whose shapes were previously indistinct, can now be clearly seen. Natsume can clearly see the crows folding their wings and diving downwards, like gliding falcons.

The entire video was slowed down many times, but some things were moving at normal speed, such as Damian's Shield of the Rift King, and the five or six crows that kept falling from the sky!

They tore through the stagnant spacetime with primal speed, tracing straight paths of death. Those were crows blessed with "divine speed," their paths compressing the air into visible cone-shaped shockwaves, as if bullets were piercing gel.

Those are crows imbued with the power of "divine speed," so no matter how fast the target is, they will hit the target accurately at the last moment!

Damian instantly appeared in front of the Raven Priest, and his thunderous punch slammed straight into the Raven Priest's head. The distorted air caused by the exaggerated speed of the punch was visible to the naked eye in the video. The distorted air affected the propagation of light, so much so that the shape of the fist was slightly distorted.

One punch fell!
The head of the crow priest transformed directly into a wisp of drifting, illusory black feathers.

At the same time, the lightning-fast crows also slammed into Damian's broad, strong back, like bullets.

They crashed into the iron wall and died. A phenomenon similar to antimatter annihilation occurred in the space. It could be seen that at the moment the crows died, the air and dust at that location vanished instantly, and even the light was distorted at the edges. In the area where all of this was annihilated, only Damian's body was completely unaffected.

This means that his anomalous level surpasses that of the Raven Priest, and the Raven's extraordinary effects have no effect on him!

Shangguan Yan put away his smile and commented very seriously and objectively: "A very powerful martial artist. His Instant Step technique is far superior to mine, and his Crushing Fist technique is also very strong. He hasn't even started using his special ability yet, so it seems there is some kind of constraint."

In a flash, Damian unleashed six more punches in quick succession. The video had no sound; one could only imagine the sonic booms that were delayed and overlapped in an instant through the distorted air.

Immediately afterwards, the priest's body also became ethereal, with three illusory parts following suit, but three punches were not defended in time. Damian's fists landed on the priest's shoulder and waist, leaving a beautiful concave notch.

The flesh and blood at the wound site had completely disappeared, but the scene did not look bloody because the process of a fist smashing flesh and blood was completely different from the scene of the body being destroyed in common sense.

Under Damian's fist, flesh became softer than tofu, like a lump of water, and was easily broken apart without any resistance. Bones were like dust that had long since dissolved in water, and were absorbed into the blood with the slightest force.

The immense and concentrated kinetic energy created this unreal scene, making this reality look like an unreal special effect. Xia Shou's calm "surprise" was not due to emotional fluctuation, but rather to the speed at which he could process his thoughts. He had misjudged the crow priest's reaction ability. This person was able to use ethereal prediction to dodge the opponent's attack in such a high-speed confrontation, and his reaction speed had reached an inhuman level.

This time traveler's reflexes are now on par with his own when he had the scorpion spine implanted.

But now, those areas are all fatal wounds, right?

Is this the end?
Xia Shou certainly didn't want it to end like this; this senior hadn't even used his ultimate move yet.

However, Xia Shou also knew that reality was not an anime. In a battle between two sides, they would not use all their special moves until they had exhausted them. Victory or defeat, life or death, could be decided in an instant. A trivial mistake could determine the outcome.

Moreover, this happened in such a rapid exchange.

In this extremely slow-motion scene, the next second, a crow silently pierces Damian's chest.

Even in slow-motion footage, this raven is faster than Damian's fist!
Appeared!
It was the swift raven that the priest paid the price for!
"Will it work?" Su Weiyu pursed her lips, watching the scene with a nervous expression, as if she had forgotten the result Smith had initially mentioned.

The outcome of this battle was already predetermined: the priestess would die, and the conflict between the Bloodscarred Duchess and the Rift King would move on to the next chapter of history.

Now they sit here, watching nothing more than how the priest dies.

They saw bird-beak-like organs begin to bulge on the priest's face, and black, raven-like shadows emerged from the bowl-sized, penetrating wound on Damian's chest—this was the "reproduction" effect of the Divine Raven!
boom!
The priest was hit solidly by another punch, turning into a splattered mess of flesh.

The office was quiet; not a single person made a sound.

"Dead?" Su Weiyu's mouth dropped open in shock.

"That can't be right!" Jiang Wengao jumped up from his seat and shouted.

Xia Shou stroked his chin, also lost in thought.

He understood Wei Yu and Xiao Gao's surprise; something had indeed gone wrong just now.

They wouldn't be surprised if the Crow Priest was really killed with a single punch, since they had already made preparations.

But just now, everyone saw with their own eyes that the priest had blurred out beforehand. Now, in the slow-down footage, everyone witnessed the truth that cannot be mistaken.

"Interesting. A special ability? Or a forbidden sense?" Shangguan Yan crossed his hands in front of him, covering half of his face, and watched the priest explode into a bloody pulp with a cold gaze.

"Could it be shattering space?" Jiang Wengao guessed.

"Impossible." Baihe immediately rejected it. "Affecting space is affecting space. Since the priest has become ethereal, his physical body no longer exists. The space that cracked is the ethereal part, so how could it turn into minced meat?"

Shangguan Yan casually added an explanation from the side: "It's a very simple principle. If you hit an ice block with a hammer, the ice block will break into ice shards. But if the ice block turns into water, even if you use the power of Moses to part the sea to separate it, it won't be broken ice blocks, but separated water."
