Chapter 223

223 Corruption

As Randy continued to ponder multitudes of solutions within mere seconds, the black-horned demon coldly declared: “Human, you’ve forced me to use my current state, so don’t count on surviving this encounter. I assume other humans have noticed and are making their way over here as we speak.”

“This mission was already a bust when we encountered a variable like you, so it doesn’t matter. As long as I capture...Forget that.”

“Now, you either prepare to die or surrender yourself. If you surrender, I will spare your life. But I still have to knock some sense into you before you are allowed to surrender yourself. ”

After one-sidedly stating so, he abruptly charged forward.

...

On the other side of the battlefield.

The red-scaled demon also roared fiercely before charging toward incarnation Randy.

...

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

However, both Randy and his incarnation did not move to block or flee as this happened. And instead, they pondered about numerous strategies and simulations using their immense mental fortitude built up over the years and through their recent battles.

.....

At the last moment, right as both Randy and his incarnation were about to be ripped and smashed apart by both demons using their overwhelming strength and power, something unexpected happened.

The two demons, who seemed unstoppable after their transformation, all stopped in their tracks, right in front of both Randys, their attacks only a few inches away from the original Randy’s face and Incarnation Randy’s chest.

At this moment, the two demons looked like statues in front of both Randys. It was a strange sight to behold.

...

“”What?!”” Both demons were shocked by their current inexplicable state.

The red-scaled demon tried everything he could but found out that he could barely move his body slightly forward after enduring some joint pains, the pain of which was nothing to a demon like him.

However, the fact that he couldn’t completely move his body shocked him greatly.

The black-horned demon was also surprised by the strange influence on his body, and he fell into thought as he observed his body.

The next second, both demons wondered with different expressions: “”What kind of ability is this?!””

The red-scaled demon was confused and wary of this ability that could prevent his movement to such an extent.

Meanwhile, the black-horned demon was very curious about the mysterious ability of his opponent.

...

On the side of the original Randy, the black-horned demon observed him briefly before commenting: “You also know how to control blood?”

Upon hearing the black-horned demon’s inquiry, Randy did not reply, but he inwardly sighed when he saw that his incarnation body had also thought of the same solution as him.

When he noticed that his incarnation did not enter an assimilated state, he instantly understood that it wasn’t that it couldn’t think of such a method, but that it couldn’t enter it instead.

Sure enough, the fact that his incarnation used the Blood Authority skill meant that it could think properly; This also proved that his conjecture was correct.

“So you’re not replying? Well, it doesn’t matter since I have all the proof I need on my body. But you shouldn’t get too excited just yet.”

After saying so, the black-horned demon’s body twitched slightly, and the next moment, he started to move his body as if breaking out of some shackles. He moved his body more effortlessly than the red-scaled demon, who could barely move his limps.

Sensing some danger, Randy reacted right away.

Instantly, he charged his fist with the minuscule mana points he had left and firmly aimed his fist consecutively at the chest of the black-horned demon without hesitation.

BAM! BAM! BAM!

The black-horned demon was sent backward from the impact. But he wasn’t sent flying away this time as he only moved 5 meters back from his previous position.

Unrelenting, Randy breached the 5-meter-distance between them and launched a mini Void Rippling Punch at the black-horned demon’s face.

BAM–

Black Blood Splattered from the unguarded, black-horned demon’s mouth from the impact of Randy’s punch as he flew back uncharacteristically without resistance.

‘Strange... Why is this guy not blocking my attacks? No! I should finish him off right now!’

Within the next instant, Randy fully transformed into his Werewolf King form with his hair now elongated as it fell over his back before he pursued the black-horned demon again to finish him off for good.

After approaching him within mere seconds, he then aimed his sharp-clawed arm toward the black-horned demon’s chest before suddenly stopping at the last moment when he felt a sharp pain in his hand. He retracted his armed back right away.

“Urgh!”

Randy uttered a cry of pain before backing away from the demon.

“Hehehe! So you have finally been affected? The moment you touched my demonic body was the moment of your inevitable downfall. I already told you that you shouldn’t be arrogant in front of me with those fancy skills of yours, but you did not listen!”

“Now that my demonic divine ability had infected and corrupted a part of your body, it is too late. My divine ability would encroach on every single part of your body, eating away your body from inside out, before ultimately turning you into one of us- a demonic existence.”

“You should feel honored, feeble existence, to be able to receive this last gift from me. However, you might not be able to endure the excruciating pain afterward. Since you did not have the privilege to obtain divine blessing and baptism from our god, you might die before becoming a demonic existence.”

The black-horned demon laughed with a triumphant expression.

Randy crouched down in the distance as he held his right hand with his left hand while gritting his teeth from the phantom pains within his bloodstream, now invaded by the sinister dark energy.

‘Damn it! I should’ve known this wasn’t going to be easy when I saw that familiar sinister dark energy on his body. That chimera monster, back then, had caused my entire body to bleed when it unleashed this same type of dark energy.’

‘What should I do against something like this?’

Randy could feel the dark energy gradually assimilating with the cells within his body through his right hand, thus causing his arm to become numb.

Desperate, he tried expelling the energy using the remaining mana in his body, but it got consumed instantly by the dark energy invading his body instead. Therefore, he could only watch as his entire arm gradually turned black.

‘At this rate, I might end up dying from this dark energy’s corruption. Think!’
