Chapter 182: Power of the Multi-Armed Race

Chapter 182: Chapter 182: Power of the Multi-Armed Race

"Radiance of the Multi-Body." Seeing Andre charge toward him, Duoduo Fire roared as waves of red light emanated from his body.

He instantly swelled two sizes larger, yet he was still only half of Andre’s current height.

"Power of the Multi-Arm!" Duoduo Fire roared again, the red light converging on his right fist.

His three arms merged into a single limb, which he then used to strike at Andre.

’So that’s how it works. He uses the Blood Power in his body to transform himself.’

’He keeps his original physical strength, but his Power increases threefold.’

Through his Eye of Truth, Andre clearly saw the changes in Power within Duoduo Fire’s body.

In Andre’s eyes, Duoduo Fire now looked like a blood-red torch.

Every breath Duoduo Fire took triggered a change in his body.

"Divine Punishment!" Having figured it out, Andre bellowed, raising his right hand as faint golden ripples appeared on his fist.

His fist then collided with Duoduo Fire’s.

Instantly, bolts of golden lightning erupted from the point of impact, sending Duoduo Fire flying.

"Argh, my hand!" Duoduo Fire crashed heavily to the ground. He stared in disbelief at his three arms, which had split apart again.

He had already used his Bloodline Power to augment his strength.

The punch he had just thrown was five times stronger than his first, yet he was still effortlessly blasted away by the Power that erupted from Andre.

One of his arms had even been blown clean off at the elbow, but fortunately, such an injury wasn’t too serious for a Body Refining Wizard.

Duoduo Fire let out a pained scream, then took a deep breath.

The arm that Andre had shattered with a single punch immediately grew back.

But this came at a price. As his arm recovered, the red light covering his body dimmed considerably.

Just then, the Frenzy Beastman Tribe and the Black Iron Beastman Tribe began to form ranks and advance on the Royal City.

"Duoduo Chao, lead the army and defend the eastern side of the Royal Capital!"

Duoduo Wood leaped out from the deep pit, his eyes fixed on the Black Iron Giant Tribe trying to pour into the Royal Capital through the breach in the wall.

"Duoduo Wind, take the army to the south side!"

At Duoduo Wood’s command, Duoduo Chao and Duoduo Wind, who had been flying in the sky, nodded. They immediately descended and began to carry out his orders, moving to resist the Black Iron Giant Tribe and the Frenzy Beastman Tribe.

With the two of them taking command, the Multi-Armed Race—who had been getting slaughtered like pigs by the Black Iron Giant Tribe and the Frenzy Beastman Tribe—finally managed to stand their ground.

But with the appearance of the Black Iron Beastman King and the Frenzied Beastman King, the tide of battle turned against them once more.

Left with no choice, Duoduo Wood had to let Duoduo Water take command of the army.

Then, he charged at Andre once more.

"Power of Multi-Body!" Duoduo Wood roared as his body began to swell.

Fueled by the Bloodline Power within him, he shot up in an instant, reaching two-thirds of Andre’s height.

"Multi-Armed Form!" Duoduo Wood roared again. His six arms began to merge, eventually forming two.

In that moment, Duoduo Wood’s aura abruptly doubled.

"My Power has increased eightfold! Let’s see how you plan to counter me now!"

With those words, he threw a heavy punch.

"Multi-Armed Fist!" Duoduo Wood unleashed his trump card, aiming right for Andre.

This was a Fist Technique his Multi-Armed Race had developed through their Bloodline Power. It was incredibly fast and immensely heavy, yet Andre blocked it with ease.

With the help of his Eye of Truth, Duoduo Wood’s lightning-fast Speed seemed to move in slow motion to Andre.

How slow?

So slow that Andre could block Duoduo Wood’s Multi-Armed Fist just by waving his hands.

"How is this possible?" Duoduo Wood stared at Andre. He had already unleashed his maximum Power, yet he was still no match for him.

"Allow me to show you the difference between us." Andre looked at Duoduo Wood, having now gauged the limits of his Power.

As they fought, Andre’s body continued to expand, growing from nine meters to twelve.

"How is that possible?" Duoduo Wood’s jaw dropped as he stared at Andre.

He was stunned for a moment. In that single lapse of concentration, Andre seized the opportunity and slammed him into the ground with one punch.

The impact instantly created a crater over ten meters deep.

"BLECH." Duoduo Wood spat out a mouthful of blood, shook his head, and climbed out of the pit.

’Is that Divine Spirit’s Power purely physical?’

Andre watched Duoduo Wood, who seemed completely unscathed.

His last punch had shattered Duoduo Wood’s ribs, but they had already grown back in a mere instant.

Faced with such terrifying Recovery Power, anyone else would have been frowning.

But to Andre, Duoduo Wood and Duoduo Fire were the perfect punching bags for him to test his strength after breaking through to a Level 2 Wizard.

"Is that all you’ve got? If so, you’re going to die here."

Andre taunted Duoduo Wood as he slowly got to his feet.

"Outworlder, you underestimate us."

Duoduo Wood’s eyes were locked on Andre. He let out a great roar, and two beams of red light shot out from the Royal Palace.

A suit of armor materialized around his body, and a long spear appeared in his hand.

"Today, you will die beneath the glory of my ancestors!"

After speaking, Duoduo Wood pushed off with his legs and charged at Andre once more.

As he charged, Duoduo Wood’s aura surged again.

’A bloodline inheritance artifact. He’s a tough one.’

Andre’s eyes flashed with surprise as he looked at the armor and spear on Duoduo Wood.

’I know how to forge things like this, and I know their origin.’

’They’re usually created when powerful individuals, on the verge of death, seal their Power into artifacts they used in life. These are then passed down to their descendants as part of the family’s heritage.’

’To prevent them from being stolen and used against their family...’

’...a specific Bloodline aura is added during the forging process, preventing the artifact from falling into the wrong hands.’

As for why Andre knew all this so clearly...

...it was because he possessed four or five such items himself.

"Gale Gate." Watching Duoduo Wood charge, Andre took the Gale Gate from around his neck and began pouring Chaos Magic Power into it.

The Gale Gate expanded in the air, instantly transforming into a massive Shield that stood between him and Duoduo Wood.

BANG! Duoduo Wood’s Power, channeled through his spear, slammed into the Gale Gate.

An explosion erupted between the two artifacts. Duoduo Wood was sent flying by the blast, but Andre didn’t budge an inch.

"If this is your trump card, then I’m afraid this is over."

Andre eyed the armor on Duoduo Wood and the Stone Spear in his hand, a greedy glint appearing in his eyes.

’These two are exactly the kind of items, rich with history, that Klein wants.’

"Today, I will kill you here, even if it costs me my life!"

Duoduo Wood glanced at the breach in the nearby city wall.

Right now, under the leadership of Duoduo Chao and Duoduo Wind, countless Multi-Armed Race People were resisting the assault of the Frenzy Beastman Tribe and the Black Iron Giant Tribe.

But their equipment was far inferior to that of the Frenzied Orcs and the Black Iron People.

The Frenzied Orcs could kill swathes of Multi-Armed Race People just by firing their Explosive Energy Crossbows.

Even Duoduo Chao and Duoduo Wind were tied down by the King of the Black Iron People and the Frenzied Beastman King.

Large numbers of the Multi-Armed Race People were constantly dying.

As Duoduo Wood watched this scene unfold, his eyes instantly turned red, and he bit his lip in fury, drawing blood.

But there was nothing he could do. He couldn’t attack Andre’s army, because Andre himself was watching from the sky.

"Father." Duoduo Wood glanced at Duoduo Fire. Duoduo Fire nodded and charged toward the Black Iron Giant Tribe.

"Potato, deal with him," Andre called out, watching Duoduo Fire’s move.

Hearing Andre’s call, Potato immediately started to run.

As it ran, Potato’s body grew larger and larger, until it finally revealed its true form.

Then, Potato raised a forepaw and slammed it down on Duoduo Fire. A flicker of delight flashed in Duoduo Fire’s eyes.

In his perception, the Power in Potato’s body was only at the level of the Five-armed People. He was sure to win this time.

But he never expected that Potato’s attack would send him flying.
