Chương 44: Gray Entries

Shaun stared at the crazed Livale, his mind clearer than ever before.

Think quickly, what other ways are there to save my life... how can I survive!

Ahead, Livale's gaze swept over the longsword in Shane's hand, then landed on Frilian, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.

"Come on, let's fight to our hearts' content."

As he spoke, he moved, his battle axe, imbued with pure brute force and accompanied by a fierce gust of wind, hurtling towards him.

At that critical moment, Xia En's brain seemed to "ding".

He acted swiftly, grabbing Frilian and activating [Sprint] to retreat quickly, while simultaneously reaching for his waist...

"Frilian, tie him up for at least one second."

The two were already working together seamlessly. Before he finished speaking, Frilian had already acted. The [Binding Magic] was immediately activated, and a golden iron chain shot up onto Livale's arm. Swish, swish, swish!

The chains tightened instantly, slowing his movements by half a point.

Despite Frilian's obstruction, Rivale's smile remained unchanged as he forged ahead, carrying the chains that bound him.

One force can overcome all methods.

He has that confidence.

As Frilian made her move, Shane also pulled a bean from his waist. His mental focus was highly concentrated, and a line of pale gray text appeared on the bean before him: 【Osteoporosis (gray entry)】: Bone strength is greatly reduced, brittleness is increased, and fractures are very likely to occur.

This is a rare gray entry that he deliberately left behind.

Peel it off!

An inconspicuous gray dot of light appeared in front of him, and then it flew towards the oncoming Livale.

Entry assignment!

A streak of gray light flashed by.

Livale's movements were already momentarily slowed by Frilian's [Binding Magic], and he didn't even notice when the inconspicuous stream of light entered his body.

"Be proud, for the one who killed you was the strongest warrior of the demon race."

The silver-gleaming battle axe came with a terrifying aura, and Shane raised his longsword with both hands, gritting his teeth to meet it.

Blade Storm This is the first time he has used this term.

In an instant, a circle of ghostly blades appeared out of thin air, swirling and slicing around him, and collided with Rivale's battle axe.

Ding ding ding.

The continuous afterimages of the sword blades were shattered by the battle axe.

Livale's offensive continues unabated.

Swish.

Frilian's defensive magic rose up in front of the two of them.

However, while defensive magic provides perfect resistance to magical attacks, it cannot completely negate the defensive power against physical objects, especially physical attacks.

bang—— The battle axe slammed into the defensive barrier with a deafening crash, sending Frillie flying. Shane reacted quickly, catching her as they both stumbled backward.

Frillie suffered considerable damage from the transfer of energy because she had just cast a spell to defend against the attack.

His hands were trembling so badly that he couldn't even lift his staff.

That's what makes a warrior so terrifying.

Even with defensive magic, a fragile mage still cannot confront it head-on, because a powerful physique is the purest form of numerical superiority.

Livale smiled smugly and approached step by step, carrying his battle axe.

"Huh? That's quite tenacious."

"Not bad, very interesting. Of all the people I've eaten, you're the one who struggles the most."

"Be proud, for I will nourish you and you will become part of the strongest warrior in the world."

As he spoke, he assumed a charging stance, laughing loudly, preparing to launch a second attack.

Just then, an accident happened.

Click.

A barely audible cracking sound exploded inside Livale's body.

Arms, back, hips, ankles... every bone in his body seemed to be groaning in pain and crying out in agony at that moment.

He looked up in astonishment, staring at Shane and Frillie in disbelief.

With just one glance, Xia En knew that the plan had succeeded!

He breathed a sigh of relief, gripped his sword with both hands, and calmly stepped forward: "From this moment on, offense and defense will be reversed."

Livale was thoroughly enraged by Shane's dismissive attitude and words.

"Kid, you think you can beat me with these tricks? They're nothing but cunning magic tricks!"

Before the roar subsided, the battle axe had already come crashing down.

But as he forced his way in, more cracking sounds rang out inside his body: crack crack crack— His movements suddenly slowed, and his arm holding the axe trembled uncontrollably, like an old man forcibly swinging an axe.

Trembling with fear and shivering.

The effects of osteoporosis are rapidly destroying his body.

His once-proud, iron-like bones and ferocious muscle strength were disintegrating and dissipating at a visible rate.

Even so, Shane did not directly confront Livale's offensive.

Even with the outcome still uncertain, he remained cautious.

He activated [Swift Movement], constantly dodging and weaving around Livale's side, never giving his opponent a chance to get close.

Livale, after repeated futile attacks, had long lost his initial agility. Even without Frilian's restraining magic, he couldn't even touch the hem of Shane's clothes.

"Kid, all you can do is hide!"

click - The moment the axe missed its mark again, a piercing sound of bone cracking rang out.

Livale's right arm, which was holding the axe, snapped suddenly, bending at a terrible angle.

Clang.

The battle axe fell to the ground.

He stared in disbelief at his bent right hand, his eyes instantly turning crimson with rage. He couldn't accept that he had been outmaneuvered by a mere brat!

In his rage, Livale raised his left fist, gathered his strength, and threw a punch at Shane.

Xia En raised his sword to meet the attack.

boom!

Fist and sword blade collide.

The longsword in Xia En's hand suddenly broke, and the broken tip flew out.

A terrifying purple hue instantly crept onto Livale's fist, spreading rapidly until it covered his entire arm in a matter of moments.

"This is... you..."

The entry for "[Suspicious Poison]" is now active.

Fortunately, it was "muscle stiffness," and the paralyzing effect of the [electric shock] was also added to it.

The [Torment] stat is triggered immediately, causing continuous damage and reducing the target's current health by 1% per second.

What's most amazing is that under the continuous damage inflicted per second by [Torture], the effects of [Suspicious Poison] and [Electric Shock] can also be triggered simultaneously and continuously.

In terms of attack detection, continuous damage is actually considered a "hit".

At this point, Levalle completely lost the ability to kill Shane and Frilian.

He collapsed to the ground, struggling desperately, unsure whether he wanted to escape or continue fighting.

Shane and Frillie stepped forward, exchanged a glance, and without the slightest hesitation, both raised their weapons...

Finishing blow!
