Absolute Gate

Chapter 60 Your opponent is me
"Uh?"

Luo Yi's words resounded throughout the hall, and the bearded man suddenly sat up in shock from his deathbed.

So that's how it is. No wonder the Dragon Girl kept pretending with them and even had to find the four of them to prove herself.

When they were finally beaten up, they all believed Long Kui, partly to save their lives and partly because they felt that if she was Wu Jin Xia, there was no need for the four of them to prove it themselves.

Now that the sponsor has appeared, his words, spoken by the camping quartet as the kindest of the group, immediately cleared up the confusion.

After all that, it turns out that Endless Summer played the 'black mercenary' trick, disguising herself as a fellow quest taker.

Therefore, in the Dragon Girl's eyes, the four-person group could vouch for her.

She just didn't expect that Blackberry had lied to her from the very beginning, giving her a completely different set of information, making her believe that Blackberry wasn't part of the camping quartet.

"The sugar daddy is amazing. It's good that you saw through her from the beginning."

"As soon as this guy saw us, he said, 'The sugar daddy is lying,' trying to fool us. We almost believed him."

The bearded man spoke with difficulty, applied medicine all over himself, and then stood up unsteadily.

Xia Heng and Luo Yi immediately locked their gazes on him: "Are you Hyacinth?"

Although it was a question, the tone left no room for doubt.

After a slight hesitation, the bearded man nodded and admitted, "I am Hyacinth, Airo."

As he spoke, he stopped pretending, revealing that his injuries were too severe and the Dragon Girl was determined to kill him.

He immediately formed a magical shield around himself, while healing magic emanated from his palms to accelerate the healing process.

Luo Yi frowned slightly: "You possessed your own teammate?"

Airo quickly shook his head: "No, I'm just residing in his body. If I leave, he will wake up."

“My physical body is destroyed, and he is on the verge of death. It is the best choice for me to temporarily possess and take over. Otherwise, I can only exist in the pen and will be unable to do anything.”

Xia Heng asked curiously, "Why do you have a soul? Even if an enlightened being possesses a soul in their physical body, they can only borrow spiritual energy, not the soul itself."

Airo explained, "My pen needs to devour human souls to replenish its ink, and people who die while this pen is stuck in their mouths will have their souls absorbed. Even if they don't have a soul, their souls will be forcibly extracted..."

Xia Heng suddenly realized that this mechanism was quite common.

The characteristic is to absorb a certain product of the target. If the target does not exist, but it is the target set by the characteristic, then it will forcibly create one and absorb it! There are actually quite a few similar catastrophic objects.

Airo's physical body was essentially dead, with no trace of his remains. He merely utilized the effect of absorbing human souls, resulting in him possessing a soul after death and not being truly dead.

The so-called "refining spirit into ink" should not be passive. Therefore, without a new holder, Airo's soul will not die. Instead, it can take up the body of someone nearby, probably only someone who has lost consciousness.

In truth, this is taking advantage of someone's physical weakness to usurp their place.

According to Xia Heng's understanding, Earthlings do not have souls; their consciousness is a pure union of body and soul. When the body is healthy, the spirit is strong, and when the body is weak, the consciousness is weak.

So Elo had no choice but to take refuge with the dying bearded man.

Otherwise, you can only possess a fountain pen, but the fountain pen can't move, so it's no different from possessing a stone.

Ai Luo shouted, "Daddy, stop talking, just kill her!"

"Let's see who dares!" Jordan strode through the snow like lightning, channeling his power into his hand axe, which hummed loudly.

"Clang!" Luo Yi raised his arm to block Jordan and shield Ai Luo behind him.

Each clash was like the sound of metal striking stone.

Jordan was thrown into the air, while Lowry bled.

Luo Yi frowned. Internal energy was actually quite effective at countering his domineering protective aura.

In addition to the kinetic energy strike, an internal force will also blast into the body, damaging the internal organs, the so-called eight extraordinary meridians, the dantian and the gate of life, thereby affecting his physical functions and health.

This is different from other forms of energy, such as magic, that can damage the body's internal organs.

A domineering presence isn't ineffective at defending against internal threats, but the problem is knowing where to defend.

In the world of Overlord, there is no concept of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians and acupoints throughout the body, so there is naturally no way to prevent it.

Internal injuries are characterized by first damaging the meridians, and then, through the philosophical concept of meridians and acupoints, the damage is fed back to the internal organs, rather than directly harming the physical organs.

Therefore, Luo Yi cannot cure this kind of internal injury. In the past, when he encountered it, he could only rely on medication to treat it afterward.

But this time, Jordan's martial arts skills were extremely strong, and his internal strength was unfathomable.

Every time Luo Yi fought, he suffered a hidden loss, and his body became increasingly weakened and sluggish.

For Luo Yi, Jordan was much more difficult to deal with than Long Kui!
"My patron, I'm here to help you!" Despite being critically injured and on the verge of death, Ai Luo still drew upon her magic to aid Luo Yi, who was vomiting blood.

“Flame Arrow!”

A blazing magic arrow shattered the hard ice crystals, leaving a small crater.

Fortunately, Jordan's exceptional agility allowed him to dodge, otherwise that blow would have shattered his limbs.

Of course, Ai Luo had to help. Long Kui had killed two members of their team, and Luo Yi was protecting him.

If Luo Yi and the others hadn't appeared, he would be dead by now.

So even if Luo Yi gave a reasonable explanation, even if Luo Yi wasn't the sugar daddy, he was still his father at this moment!
This was also Xia Heng and the others' goal; they wanted this kind of timely help.

"Cluster cluster cluster!" Airo displayed astonishing skill with magical arrows.

He could conjure various elemental arrows with one hand. Jordan was suddenly attacked by two golden figures and could only dodge and retreat frequently, making it difficult for him to move.

"call!"

At the same time, Xia Heng also made his move, unleashing laser beams and going all out!

"Boom!" And various cannons came flying in.

"Sister!" Jordan was outmatched by three opponents and couldn't hold on.

"Aaaaaah!" Longkui roared, as white freezing air burst forth, raising a huge ice crystal wall to block the cannon fire and magic arrows.

Although Xia Heng's technological weaponry was quite powerful, it was completely inadequate in her eyes, only slightly better than conventional firearms.

The only problem is... Xia Heng's attacks are like they're free!
Such ferocious firepower was too much for Longkui's current body to withstand, so she could only rely on magic for defense. Even with her extremely powerful magic, she was still suppressed by the firepower.

"No, no, no! Why did it turn out like this?"

Longkui was still brainstorming; she roared in anguish, her mind a complete mess.

She never expected that the group of four would say such things about her. Suddenly, she had four more enemies out of nowhere.

Since the Oni Master can command spirits, the group of four attacked by the Night Wanderer must not be part of the Oni Master's group.

The idea that she was acting out her own performance is utter nonsense. She has explained this to Jordan many times; it's solid logic.

Sure enough, Blackberry herself admitted that her previous claim that Oni Master had orchestrated the whole thing was nonsense and that she had been lying to him.

That makes sense.

Why did she suspect Blackberry? It was because the information was wrong, which is why she didn't believe Blackberry.

But why would the other party lie and provide false information?

Well, because Blackberry thinks he is a 'black mercenary', Endless Summer impersonated Longkui to contact him.

Why does he believe he is an imposter?
Because I lied to him, telling him that I have python tattoos all over my body.

"So...it's my problem?"

Longkui figured it out, but then became even more confused: Who am I? Where am I? Why am I being beaten by everyone?
"Aaaaaah! I don't care anymore!"

Why does everyone have to kill me?!

"You all deserve to die! You all deserve to die!"

She was furious, and her scales rattled all over her body.

"Who cares who they are! Just kill them all!"

Longkui stared coldly at Luo Yi and the others, as the surging wind and snow poured into her carbonized and mangled body, twisting into ice crystal-like substances.

The subcutaneous muscle fibers proliferate and tighten wildly, and the contours of the arms, thighs, waist and abdomen recover at a visible speed, becoming angular and distinct. Every inch of the body contains surging power and is filled with explosive ice crystal muscle groups optimized for killing.

Her body was forged from ice and snow, and it grew to a height of six meters!

Even more terrifying is that her head extends forward into an elegant shape.

The teeth became sharp and dense, the eyes tore open and wide, the color of the iris was completely swallowed up by ice blue, and vision moved from the world of color into the realm of heat sensing and energy flow.

"Roar!" A dragon's roar that shook the mountains drowned out the howling wind and snow!

Even her head transformed into a dragon; the majestic and ferocious head of an ice dragon instantly replaced her human face.

Several beautifully curved ice crystal dragon horns broke through the skin and hair roots, spiraling out like a crown carved from the finest sapphires.

When she finally raised her head, she exuded an aura of majesty and terror, as if she were a superior being.

With each breath, a spiral of cold, white mist emerged from his nostrils.

His body arched slightly from the excruciating pain, a suppressed growl escaping his throat, a mixture of agony and elation. "Insects, all of you, die!"

She has completely transformed into a dragon, soaring into the sky, her wings creating a raging blizzard with every flap.

Jordan was terrified and quickly stepped behind his sister, saying, "You're all done for! My sister has completely gone mad!"

"puff!"

Longkui swooped down, wielding a massive ice spike spear, her strength exceeding a thousand pounds.

Luo Yi only took one hit from Long Kui before his domineering arm shattered on the spot, his body scattering blood mist and creating a crater in the ground.

"Roar!" Longkui raised her neck, and streams of icy blue energy gathered in her throat.

Suddenly, he exhaled a powerful breath, the extremely cold frost sweeping across the air like a fan.

The air seemed to freeze, emitting a mournful sound like shattering glass.

Luo Yi was too close and was the first to be hit. He didn't even bother to dodge and switched to a completely black body.

"Buzz!" The magic shield on Airo's body instantly overloaded and froze.

That angry breath was incredibly powerful.

"No!" Airo screamed in terror, but in an instant he was frozen into a menacing ice sculpture. Ice crystals pierced through his cells from the inside, and the bearded man's already severely injured body was instantly beyond dead.

The breath swept across the rock wall and the ground, immediately covering them with a thick layer of ice as smooth as a mirror.

Only Xia Heng had been pulling backward from the beginning, and now he erected a huge energy barrier to block the breath attack.

But when he looked back, the scene was frozen solid, and he was the only one left on his team.

"There are actually three stages?"

Xia Heng stared wide-eyed; this woman was even stronger than he had imagined.

This seems to be a system that relies on anger to unleash more dragon blood power.

"Buzz!"

The black nightshade flapped its wings in mid-air, and with a swooping crash, it was as if a train had come crashing down!
"Wow!"

Xia Heng tried his best to block it, but after only one move, he broke a mechanical arm and his spine, crashing violently into the mountain rocks.

However, he has a modified human body, so he is not likely to die; in fact, he still possesses formidable firepower.

"Zizzizi!"

Longkui suddenly turned around and gave chase, a laser beam shooting towards her face.

The crimson laser, having been charged up for a long time, sizzled and burned the face of the black nightshade.

Long Kui quickly dodged, but Xia Heng only needed to use his third hand.

The laser continued to fire, relentlessly scorching Longkui and melting the ice crystals on her body!
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle!" Her head, face, chest, back, hands and feet were covered in burns.

Her true form is already on the verge of death, and she has essentially frozen herself in ice. The ice crystal-formed exterior is actually the source of her ability to fight; once it all melts, she's finished.

"You're courting death!" Long Kui knew she couldn't ignore the laser, so she flew towards Xia Heng like a white lightning bolt and unleashed her dragon claw.

"Boom!" Longkui soared like a dragon, her terrifying power compressing and exploding the air, and a bone-chilling cold seeped outwards.

She charged forward like a cannon, and the moment Xia Heng heard the sound, she was already in front of him.

"Boom!"

A pale pink barrier instantly formed in front of Xia Heng, but it was instantly shattered.

A look of horror flashed across his eyes; it was too fast.

Xia Heng's ability to possess a host body is really not suitable for getting too close to the enemy.

"Shh!"

Longkui's deadly strike swept past, but she crashed headfirst into the rock wall, sending rocks flying everywhere.

"Hmm?" Her dragon claws were stained with blood, flesh, and metal. When she turned around, she realized that she hadn't been slashing Xia Heng.

Xia Heng's figure had already been pushed aside. At the critical moment, Wu Zhong arrived in time, smashing Xia Heng aside like a cannonball. Then, his chest was smashed by the dragon claw, and his body sank into the mountain wall like a rag doll.

"Ants!"

Longkui scoffed, recognizing the man as the one in the group of four who always managed to trip and fall, injuring himself badly.

Now, having been severely injured by her, his chest was completely torn apart, and his body was basically in two pieces. It was clear that he was no longer alive.

Long Kui ignored him and looked at Xia Heng. Her vertical pupils were filled with a brutal and cold aura, and she spewed out spirals of freezing white mist from her mouth and nose.

"Buzz buzz buzz!" Xia Heng glanced at Wu Zhong, and seeing that he was still alive, he was not worried at all.

They cleanly and efficiently created distance, and the mechanical arm behind them unleashed a burst of intense rays.

Longkui raised her dragon claws to protect her face, bracing herself against the laser beam, her body stomping and charging back.

In an instant, the light and shadow reflected and flowed, melting the surroundings into pits and craters.

"laugh……"

Longkui's fighting instincts kicked in, and she easily dodged Xia Heng's other hand's barrage.

She was like a nimble predator, moving so fast that she was just a blur.

“Gravity field…” Xia Heng moved closer to Luo Yi and used a laser to melt the ice for him.

At the same time, he waved his hand, distorting a large area of ​​space, enveloping Longkui like a cage.

Longkui's speed suddenly slowed down, as if she were encountering enormous resistance in the deep sea.

Xia Heng seized the opportunity to melt the ice and release Luo Yi.

On the other side, Wu was trapped in the rocks, seemingly in great pain, but in fact his injuries were healing very quickly.

He turned toward the cave he had come from and said hoarsely, "De...De Biao..."

Yang Chunsha dared not show herself, so she dug a tunnel from underground to get close to Wu Zhong, and stretched out her fair arm from the pile of blood-stained rocks.

Wu Zhong took a bite, and his vigorous life force rapidly repaired his body.

In just a few seconds, he leaped out of the rocks with a bang, full of energy.

Just as Jordan was about to double-team Xia Heng, Wu finally threw a stone, which whistled like a cannonball.

"Snapped!"

Jordan stopped the car, and with a casual swing of his axe, sent the rock flying.

"Hey, your opponent is me!" Wu Zhong was covered in blood.

Jordan frowned and said, "Can you please stop playing? This is all a misunderstanding."

"We really are here to hunt down the Demon Master, what does that have to do with you? Why make a scene first?"

He was clearly naive. Seeing Longkui completely transform into a dragon and fight against many powerful enemies, he was worried and even wanted to call a truce.

Wu Zhong's expression was strange: "This really does have something to do with me."

As he spoke, he charged at him without fear.

Jordan moved his feet so lightly that he left no trace on the snow; his movements were even more astonishing than Fei Peng's.

Seeing Wu Zhong charging at him with brute force, his internal energy was extremely low, and he was completely stunned. He easily dodged and swung his axe at Wu Zhong.

"Pfft!" Wu Zhong was immediately cleaved open with a deep, bloody gash, so deep that the bone was visible.

At the same time, flesh and blood burst open with a crackling sound, and it felt as if a thousand needles were pricking the wound.

"What a tough body!" Jordan exclaimed solemnly. Despite the deep wounds Wu Zhong had suffered, he knew that such an axe blow would have cleaved an ordinary person in two.

He could tell just by the feel of the axe how tough Wu Zhong was.

I felt like I wasn't chopping meat, but rather chopping carbon fiber material.

Its bones are incredibly strong and sturdy, comparable to high-strength steel!

Wu gritted his teeth and endured the pain, knowing that his opponent's martial arts were profound and his combat skills far surpassed his own.

He immediately shouted, "The mere Longevity Technique is nothing special; it's not even as good as my Flying Peng Divine Skill."

"Watch me cripple your vital point with one palm!"

He slapped Jordan with his palm, declaring he would cripple him, which made the latter laugh in anger.

"Alright! Let me see your skills!"
