Chapter 952 The Pinnacle of Skill

"Not in the plan?" Xia Shou asked.

Jiang Wengao stared at the roaring, abnormally large beast and slowly nodded: "I don't know the details of the process, but the result should be good. The Blood Dynasty wasn't arranged by me; most of the plan was based on Sister Ke's words."

Natsu no Kami is not present in "Kyoto Sinks," not even in the closed beta version. Therefore, the Blood Dynasty campaign, which centers on Natsu no Kami, cannot be predicted or arranged through gameplay.

Most of the intelligence regarding the Blood Dynasty campaign came from Kehen's observations of prisoners' memories ten years later.

The message the prisoner heard in the future was that pushing the vampires, who were likely to become cannon fodder, to the front lines could turn the situation around for the better.

Therefore, Jiang Wengao did as he was told. After all, sending those vampires to their deaths wasn't a difficult task, and besides, these nobles were truly of no value if they weren't put to use.

Seeing this, Jiang Wengao felt that the information Kehen had retrieved from the future was useful. This enormous creature with its exaggerated size and strange appearance was now playing a role that the nobles could not achieve!
“Roar, roar, roar, roar!!”

The monster crawled frantically, both agile and clumsy. It moved incredibly fast, but it had so many limbs that they kept growing, making its movements completely defy biological patterns and exude a creepy, inanimate quality.

Numerous corpses were incorporated into the monster's body; deformed thighs, arms, various human limbs, and countless weapons could be seen on its crimson surface.

The non-metallic swords, spears, and halberds grew on the monster's body like the mane of a wild beast, and as the monster moved violently, they rubbed together, producing a piercing metallic hum.

It was unclear whether he was in a rage or wailing, but his body was being torn apart, with unseen slashes relentlessly slicing his massive form to pieces.

The slash slices through monsters and ice, and from a distance, it even has an unparalleled beauty. However, when the slash glides across the ice and comes close, cutting through the buildings around you, you realize just how dangerous and terrifying it is.

Cracks appeared on the massive pillars supporting the upper levels of Twilight City. It wasn't that they weren't severed, but rather that the cuts were too clean and decisive, so that the friction between the cut surfaces could still maintain the pillars' assembled shape before the overall structure completely collapsed.

In just a few seconds, the giant pillar slid smoothly down, crushing the street shops below into ruins. The ground trembled, and dust and broken rocks rained down from above.

The monster was shredded, but its flesh quickly reassembled, merging together like slimes.

"It can actually withstand that kind of slash!" Jiang Wengao exclaimed. "Sprite's slash is not an ordinary cut; ordinary regeneration cannot reconnect with it. Moreover, it not only cuts through objects but also severs some internal connections."

A slight vibration of the tiles came from behind Xia Shou, and Su Weiyu also arrived at the scene.

She was equally shocked when she saw the monster.

"It can even attack Sprite, which means that this monster's abnormality level has exceeded Sprite's?"

Xia Shou said, "It's possible that the monster's level isn't higher than Sprite's, but rather that it has lost the will to fight and attack."

It didn't have that kind of thinking. Perhaps this wasn't a fight at all, but rather an act driven by a basic desire, similar to eating. Being chopped up by Sprite probably wasn't even a serious injury to it.

Therefore, Sprite's fighting spirit collapsed, and there was nothing left to cut.

Of course, it's also possible that its abnormality level is higher than Sprite's, and it seems that it can indeed be immune to some extraordinary effects of slashing attacks.

Perhaps... its level really is that high.

Xia Shou wasn't overestimating the opponent's level; rather, he had noticed subtle changes in the situation.

The murky, intense scent of cursed energy that had been lingering in the air was rapidly dissipating, like a kitchen full of fumes suddenly having its range hood turned on, the fan at maximum power sucking all the fumes away in an instant.

If this were a large kitchen, then that nameless monster would be a giant range hood!
"Truly, this is the pinnacle of skill." Shangguan Yan's voice appeared out of nowhere beside her. She smoothed her flowing hair in the sharp wind, leaned against the latticed window on the roof, and said to Xia Shou and Jiang Wengao, "You two should watch closely. This kind of skill is probably only seen once every few hundred years." "Minister, what are you looking at? You can't understand this, can you?" Jiang Wengao said.

Shangguan Yan: "Look carefully. It's okay if you don't understand it. If you can understand it in the future, then the memories of this moment will become priceless."

Upon hearing this, Xia Shou seemed to sense something and activated the [Text Description] to observe the battle unfolding before him.

When he used the Scorpion Spine to upgrade his level and then looked at the written description, he witnessed an indescribable scene...

On the shore of the lake, a few vampires still live, including Charles I.

The battle is no longer something they can get involved in; there's nothing they can do about it.

Charles I stared wide-eyed at the madness, his whole body trembling violently.

Lan Baihe, who had miraculously survived beside him, spoke up: "Your Majesty, shouldn't we go? We've done enough, haven't we? We've done the best we could, and Lord Xia Shou will keep his promise!"

She thought Charlie would agree immediately, because he was trembling with fear.

But the truth is, Charlie wasn't afraid; he was excited.

When he saw Sprite effortlessly slice through everything in the face of such a terrifying monster, his calm demeanor, nonchalant attitude, and unparalleled domineering aura deeply shocked him.

This is the true king!
Charles always believed that strength was the measure of a king, and that Rosa and the Lord of Summer became kings through strength.

But after seeing Sprite, he finally realized that his fantasy about being a king was completely absurd.

Even Rosa, or Xia Shou, cannot compare to the man before them.

Power is a necessary condition for being a king, but what truly interprets the meaning of this identity to its fullest extent is a certain quality that exists only in Sprite... a quality that is hard to describe.

The monster, a collection of the corpses of hundreds of vampire elders, a demon embodying abyssal desires and cursed power, is being repeatedly shredded.

The monster's attacks, as powerful as raging waves and earthquakes, failed to achieve any effect. Sprite held up one hand, calmly watching the mountain-sized monster, silently observing it, like a skilled chef examining beef on a cutting board, discerning the texture of the meat.

Finally, Spreadt raised his other hand and began chanting some kind of incantation.

"..."

The next second, the monster's body was smoothly sliced ​​open by dozens of curved slashes. This time, the slashes did not fall cleanly like a kitchen knife, but rather like a small knife moving through the gaps in an animal's joints, quickly moving along a texture that was invisible to the naked eye.

During the process, the dozens of strikes did not intersect, but converged at the last moment.

Then, the enormous body suddenly split apart, blooming like strangely shaped petals.

The massive heap of flesh collapsed to the ground as if it had lost its power.

This time, it did not re-merge.
