Chapter 550 - 313: Abstract

Chapter 550: Chapter 313: Abstract

Just a moment ago, while Luo Mo was engaged with Roya, Lu Cang had already mentally contacted Kumironi.

He received an analysis of Luo Mo’s life structure from her.

The mental transmission was instantaneous.

And Kumironi’s analysis was incredibly precise.

Her expertise in Life Science was nearly on par with that of a Life Element Izparut. Using her intelligence, Lu Cang was able to comprehend this Magic.

A Life Element Magic!

[Tier Five Magic: Vast Ocean] + [Tier Five Magic: Flesh Rebuilding]

The fusion of these two Magics.

Created—[Tier Five Life Magic: Life Extension (Level 501)]

This Magic connects to the opponent’s flesh, becoming an integral part of their body!

On the surface, it seemed he had only created a new Magic, something that was commonplace for Lu Cang.

But in reality, what Lu Cang had pioneered this time was not a Magic from any existing system. In the current classifications of Magic, the category of Life Magic did not exist.

With this creation, Lu Cang had pioneered an entirely new branch of Magic.

Under normal circumstances, Lu Cang’s progress wouldn’t have been so rapid, and he wouldn’t have immediately grasped such a conceptual shift.

However, as it happened, the Tier Three Root Magic Lu Cang had comprehended was ’Body as Technique.’

He had long since considered the premise of the body becoming Magic, and his Tier Four Root Magic was based on comprehending the transformation of matter.

All his lines of thought had already paved the way.

However, constructing this new Magic still required time for contemplation.

And as it happened, the one thing Lu Cang didn’t lack was time to think.

VMMMM—

While time stood still, Lu Cang’s Sea of Consciousness did not. In the combat simulations within his mind, Lu Cang fought Luo Mo again and again.

The more he observed its abilities, the more of its methods he came to understand.

The more perfectly Lu Cang could simulate all the possibilities of fighting it.

The anger in Lu Cang’s eyes had vanished. He gazed calmly at the sea of blood as it boiled and burned with the golden Holy Flame. Luo Mo’s ’Date of Death’ was continuously being scorched away!

Lu Cang stood with his sword resting behind his back.

His gaze was now one of utter contempt.

"This has been... quite enlightening."

A body that fundamentally wasn’t its own was being burned, yet the pain was still transmitted back to it, as if its opponent had externally attached a prosthetic that wasn’t part of it.

Simply harming that prosthetic was enough to harm its true body!

"Human!"

"I was perfectly willing to spare your life! And yet you hunt me down relentlessly!"

"I will remember your face!"

BANG!

Lu Cang felt the entire space shudder. His gaze snapped to the distance as he sensed an invisible ripple receding at high speed!

It was fleeing!

Spouting the most vicious threats, yet it fled!

’Heh...’

But just as it fled several million kilometers in a mere second or two, its body suddenly went rigid.

"Hsss..."

"So this is what a Demon’s body is like?"

BLEGH~

Luo Mo was overcome with a wave of nausea. Its once-formless body instantly materialized in the physical world, solidifying into a tangible form as it began to dry heave.

"Don’t puke..."

However, when it opened its mouth, the voice that came out was not its own.

"BLEGH~"

Luo Mo clutched its own throat. It felt nauseous, its body no longer under its control.

’Fuck!’

’That human!’

’He... he actually got inside my body!’

’Roya!’

’But I didn’t feel anything unusual when I devoured him...’

"You shouldn’t just eat random things. That’s common sense, isn’t it?"

"If it were me, I wouldn’t have eaten it."

Luo Mo muttered to itself, but the words it spoke were Roya’s.

BANG!

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!—

Luo Mo’s body suddenly began flailing, its fists raining a flurry of blows upon itself!

"Take that for eating me! And that! And that!"

After the beating, Luo Mo’s body was a mangled wreck.

"Consider this revenge for eating me. Now we’re even."

Luo Mo’s insides churned.

But soon, its body began to recover rapidly. Although it couldn’t match the instantaneous speed of Lu Cang’s regeneration, its flesh was mending at a rate visible to the naked eye.

"Uhh, let me see... your weakness is..."

"Your weak point is in your lair?"

Roya gazed at a massive heart before him. From his perspective, he was in an abstract, distorted space interwoven with darkness and red.

The space here was like something out of dreamcore, or perhaps an abstract painting by Picasso.

’Tier Eight Chaos Deceit Technique—Existential Deconstruction.’

In Roya’s eyes, everything was expressed in abstract forms.

In this deconstructed world, the Laws were completely different from those of the physical realm.

Here, Speed was not necessarily velocity; it could be, in a sense, length. A wooden ruler formed next to Roya’s hand.

The longer the ruler, the greater Roya’s Speed.

Roya only needed to stretch it like a rubber band to increase his own Speed.

But because his arm span was limited, he couldn’t stretch the ruler to an infinite length.

And besides Speed, everything in the world, every definition, had been transformed into another abstract concept.

When he was eaten just now, from Roya’s perspective, he hadn’t been devoured at all. Rather, he had simply walked through a spacious tunnel and into its body.

"So I can only kill you for good by finding your lair? That seems pretty tricky."

"Get the hell out of me!"

"Nooo~ A friend I just met promised me something, and I really want to see what happens."

Luo Mo yelled, "You bastard, what the hell are you talking about?"

"He promised me that if I could help tie you down, he would show me how a Level 5 Reincarnator can kill a Tier Eight Demon."

"I think that sounds very interesting, so I’d like to watch."

Luo Mo’s body twisted, turning back around.

It uncontrollably turned back in Lu Cang’s direction.

But it didn’t need to go far.

In the time it had been delayed, golden flames had set the Abyss of the Sea ablaze, turning it into a fiery backdrop!

WHOOSH—

’I’m starting to get a better handle on the properties of this Divine Artifact.’

’A direct strike isn’t strictly necessary.’

’The Holy Flame’s power can be channeled through Light Magic.’

Channeling it through Light, Lu Cang closed the distance and arrived in just over ten seconds!

"A Level 5 Reincarnator?"

"Kill me?!"

"What kind of joke is this!"

"Your attacks are pathetic!"

BOOM!

Golden flames once again erupted all over Luo Mo’s body. This was just a part of its body, a mere piece of flesh! It could only truly be killed if its heart, hidden away in the Eighth Level Nest Cave, was reached!

’What makes him think he can kill me?’

’With that pathetic Magic? With that Divine Artifact?’

"You who only know how to rely on external power dare to boast about killing me! Without that Divine Artifact, you’re nothing!"

Unable to escape, Luo Mo’s panic turned to fury!

Lu Cang gazed at its ’Date of Death.’

At this moment, only 300 years remained until its ’Date of Death.’
