Reincarnation Paradise Park-Chapter 705 - 15: Devour

Feeling the pressure coming head-on, the anger in Dill Multo’s eyes subsided. Although he didn’t agree with his opponent’s actions, he admitted the opponent’s strength, so he had to respond in full form.

Dill Multo stomped the ground, pressing the yellow short spear into the ground to hide it.

Although the Yellow Rose of Certain Destruction had the characteristic of preventing wounds from healing, its strength was far inferior to the Red Rose. It could be used as a weapon for a kill strike, but in a head-on confrontation, he still preferred the Red Rose.

Su Xiao instantly rushed to Dill Multo, with dozens of Counter Shields floating around him.

The long knife in his hand cleaved forward, just a test, Dill Multo instinctively blocked with the Red Rose.

Clang.

Sparks flew, and Dill Multo felt a massive force assault his hand, his feet sinking into the ground. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"This kind of power..."

Before Dill Multo could adapt to the surging force, Su Xiao had already delivered a full side kick. Dill Multo reacted quickly, bending one leg and using his shin to block Su Xiao’s side kick.

With a bang, Dill Multo staggered back a few steps, his entire leg numb.

Screech—

The sound of metal wires retracting could be heard as the Boundary Line wrapped around Dill Multo from all directions.

Dill Multo immediately jumped up, using the Red Rose in his hand to pierce into the stone slab below, suspending his body in mid-air with the support of the Red Rose.

The Boundary Line wrapped around the long spear Red Rose, and Su Xiao pulled the Boundary Line, causing the tip of the Red Rose to slide across the stone slab, leaving a mark.

As Dill Multo was about to land, Su Xiao stepped forward, not immediately attacking but waiting for the moment Dill Multo landed.

Just as Dill Multo’s toes touched the ground, Su Xiao slashed diagonally.

Dragon Slash traced a light golden ’silk thread’ in mid-air, its sharpness now fearsome.

At this moment, just as Dill Multo landed, his body was unstable. This tricky angle made him feel very uncomfortable, making it difficult for him to advance or retreat.

This is where battle experience comes in; many factors are involved in combat. It’s not just about having strong power or many skills to win.

Dill Multo, having no choice, could only continue using the long spear to block. He clearly knew that choosing to keep blocking would put him at a disadvantage in the upcoming exchanges, as the enemy’s power was too strong.

Just as Dill Multo prepared to brace for Su Xiao’s attack, facing the danger of being slashed away, Su Xiao’s stabbing long knife suddenly stopped and withdrew a few steps.

Boom!

Flames erupted from under Dill Multo’s feet, and for some unknown reason, the ground beneath him exploded.

Fragments of the Alchemy Bomb flew, and Dill Multo was engulfed in the flames.

Su Xiao used the metal armguard on his left hand to block in front of him, to prevent the flying debris from hitting his eyes.

As the explosion’s flames receded slightly, Su Xiao slashed a few times into the fire, sending light blue blade aura flying towards it.

Clang, clang, clang...

The blade aura was shattered, and Dill Multo, covered in burns and with one leg mangled, charged out of the flames.

Just as he burst out of the flames, Dill Multo locked eyes with another pair of eyes.

"Not good!"

The Red Rose in Dill Multo’s hand thrust forward, and Su Xiao moved forward to meet the thrust of that red spear.

Clang.

The Rose of Exorcism stabbed into the Counter Shield, the sensation transmitted through the spear surprising Dill Multo. In his view, the Counter Shield was clearly an energy body; why could an energy body block the Rose of Exorcism?

The answer lay in Blue Steel Shadow Energy and the tier difference between it and the Rose of Exorcism. It was true the red spear could break magic but couldn’t ignore energy levels.

If the Holy Grail World’s magic level was a 3, then Blue Steel Shadow Energy was at least above 10, and as the Blue Steel Shadow Skill level increases, so does this energy level.

When the Rose of Exorcism was blocked, Dill Multo realized he was about to lose. In the battle with the enemy in front of him, any mistake would come at a painful price.

Dill Multo guessed right; the moment the Rose of Exorcism was blocked, Su Xiao had already drawn his blade.

Almost instantly, the long knife slashed over, and a large spray of blood splattered. The slash was too fast, and combined with Dragon Slash’s sharpness, Dill Multo barely felt anything.

Two seconds later, intense pain came from Dill Multo’s left shoulder. He turned to look, his entire left arm missing, blood gushing from the severed stump, with light blue energy visible on the wound’s surface.

With a thud, the entire left arm fell to the ground.

The blood splattered onto Dill Multo’s face dripped down his chin, and he couldn’t help but let out a pained smile.

"May I know your name? Surely, I won’t lose to an unnamed opponent."

Upon hearing Dill Multo’s question, Su Xiao didn’t respond. He never wasted words during battle.

Ignoring Dill Multo for the moment, Su Xiao picked up the severed arm on the ground, light blue smoke emanating from his left hand, enveloping it.

Su Xiao held his knife in his right hand, with light blue smoke rising from his left hand, looking nothing like a magician.

Su Xiao activated the Core of Devour, attempting to devour Dill Multo’s severed arm. In theory, Heroic Spirits are manifested by energy, not flesh and blood, which is exactly what the Core of Devour requires as high-level biological energy.

Light blue smoke enveloped Dill Multo’s severed arm, the blood on it lifted, and the arm started to energy-transform.

Moments later, the severed arm in Su Xiao’s hand had transformed into a mass of golden energy, which was the high-level energy constituting the Heroic Spirit.

The Heroic Spirit Energy merged into Su Xiao’s palm, but he didn’t directly absorb this energy; it needed to be transformed.

The Heroic Spirit Energy first entered the Core of Devour, where the golden energy began to transform, purify, and filter, finally becoming a colorless energy.

When the colorless energy surged from the Core of Devour, the Blue Steel Shadow Energy within Su Xiao rushed forward, as if seeing an irresistible delicacy, devouring the colorless energy in an instant.

Su Xiao immediately sensed the Blue Steel Shadow Energy within him growing stronger. Although it hadn’t reached the level to upgrade, the Blue Steel Shadow ability had indeed become stronger.

"Compared to the Tailed Beast’s energy, although Heroic Spirit energy is lesser in quantity, it is purer."

Blue light flashed in Su Xiao’s eyes. Although the Core of Devour was powerful, using this ability could easily lead to losing one’s mind, requiring strong intention.

A dozen seconds later, the blue light in Su Xiao’s eyes disappeared. When he looked at Dill Multo again, Dill Multo instinctively took a step back.

Su Xiao didn’t immediately engage Dill Multo. He was waiting to see if after devouring Heroic Spirit energy, there would be a backlash of some kind from the Great Holy Grail.

This concern of Su Xiao’s was unfounded, as the Great Holy Grail had yet to manifest, and even with its formidable capabilities, it couldn’t affect him.

"Seems like there’s no problem."

Blood dripped from Dragon Slash, and Su Xiao slowly approached Dill Multo. Even if Dill Multo was a Heroic Spirit, he couldn’t regenerate the arm that had been severed, whether he had a recovery ability himself or his Master Kenneth used Healing Magic.

Supreme Blade Edge Effect 2: Vanquish Sect (Passive), Sharpness +10, if a cleave causes a limb loss effect on the enemy, the enemy will be unable to recover the limb through any Fourth Tier or lower abilities such as surgery, potion, skills, or bloodline abilities. (This ability evolved from ’Cut Iron Like Mud (Passive)’).
