Endless Debt-Chapter 977 - 67: Crimson Armor (Part 2)

This was Bologue’s miscalculation, but it was still within acceptable range. No one could predict all the variables on the battlefield, not even Bologue.

The Ether Shock from the Defender approached head-on, and Bologue gripped the sword hilt tightly with one hand, then raised the other hand, attempting to block the charge of thousands with his slender palm.

Protection·Soul Sucking and Essence Stealing.

For Condensers below Bologue’s tier, Bologue’s Secret Energy and Protection can easily shatter the Rectangular Soul Critical and then control the opponent’s blood ether, causing self-destruction.

For those of the same tier and higher than Bologue, Bologue’s Secret Energy and Protection individually have little effect, but when combined and mutually coordinated, they can yield unimaginable efficacy.

Secret Energy·Commanding Decree attempts to break through Ethereum Mutual Exclusion, and as it breaks through, Protection·Soul Sucking and Essence Stealing also gnaws at the ether, seizing it to perpetuate this cycle of invasion.

As long as Bologue masters it sufficiently, even the Defender will be somewhat affected.

Like now!

The deadly Ether Shock directly hit Bologue, shattering the iron armor constructed from Deceitful Snake Scale Liquid instantly, iron debris cut into Bologue’s body, and ether tore through layers of skin.

Large patches of fresh blood sprayed upward, but before landing, they were uniformly commanded by Bologue, not reversing back into the body, but evenly covering the body’s surface, forming a layer of crimson armor.

As long as there were wounds exposed, the flowing blood would instantly coagulate into armor, while defending, also stopping Bologue’s bleeding, alleviating the pressure of his Undying Body.

For Condensers, ether nurtured within the body, and blood long exposed to it, will be a perfect ether conductor. Commanding this blood is like commanding oneself, directing one’s limbs.

Grudging Bite crudely severed the obstructive ether stream, the blade completely fell, attacking again required a few instances, and in this deadly assassination, a few moments were already long enough.

For this, Bologue gripped a blood-colored sharp blade.

The dispersing ether was absorbed and seized by Bologue. Under the dual coordination of Secret Energy and Protection, Bologue could even partially dissolve the opponent’s ether attack, converting it to his own ether.

The crazier the fight, the stronger Bologue becomes, relying on his Undying Body, continuing the eternal holy war.

"Decapitate!"

Bologue shouted, the blood blade slashing rapidly, drawing out a slender blood line.

The Shadow King’s body trembled slightly, the silver mask cracked into two halves, the blood blade shattered, and the scattered blood entangled in mid-air, transforming into a slender Blood Spear.

As a Negative Power User of the Commanding School, all materials within Bologue’s domain are at his disposal. As for wielding the blade... he simply enjoys the feeling of wielding it.

The Blood Spear twisted, accurately penetrating the Shadow King’s body. The powerful momentum made him continuously retreat until the spear’s end embedded in the wall.

The furious Ether Shock completely covered Bologue. The Defender’s forces intertwined, instantly turning this place into ruins.

Amidst the thunderous collapse, the ground was pierced layer by layer until rolling dust fell back into the Stone Hall.

Seconds later, Bologue stood up shakily from the ruins, blood reversed back into his body, wounds healed. Even when he became a Negative Power User, carrying such formidable power, under the Defender’s siege, Bologue still died once.

It doesn’t matter; it was worth it.

Bologue looked forward; another silhouette emerged within the swirling mist. A crimson spear pierced his chest, silver snakes crawled all over his body, with reddish hues appearing on the refined scales.

The Shadow King slowly raised his head, his horrific appearance covered by a layer of shadow. He raised his hand and broke the blood spear protruding from his chest.

Powers far surpassing the Defender’s, belonging to the seeker of Glory, manifested on him.

The undeniable ascending force surged up. Whether Blood Spear or Silver Snake, they were easily crushed and repelled under the Shadow King’s overwhelming ether pressure.

He resembled a storm incarnate, instantly sweeping away obstacles. A strong gale firmly pressed Bologue’s head, trying to force him into submission, yet Bologue persistently raised his head, directly facing that withered visage.

The true appearance of the Shadow King took Bologue by surprise; he was too old, too withered, like a corpse decayed for countless years, as if any external force could kill him.

Yet within this body filled with death, there stored a touch of indomitable vitality. Even though Bologue’s Blood Spear pierced his chest, it could not harm him even slightly.

Suddenly, Bologue had a subtle epiphany; he understood why he couldn’t hurt the Shadow King.

This isn’t just a difference in tier, but... but you can’t harm someone who is already dead.

The Shadow King is just a living corpse.

This sounds strange, but Bologue instinctively recognized this as a truth.

The Seeker of Glory’s power vanished in an instant, the furious ether calmed down, and the entire battlefield returned to silence. As if an illusion, after neutralizing Bologue’s offense, the Shadow King didn’t continue attacking but gazed at Bologue with his deep, dark eyes.
