Chapter 310: Chapter 298 Dragon Spine

The iron rod weapon used by Agatha was not a metal product generated by herself, but a "Hell Weapon".

*Those craftsmen recognized by True Hell personally design and forge these weapons from rare materials. If the final product reaches a certain standard, it will gain world recognition. At the moment of completion, a Mark appears on the surface of the weapon to signify Hell’s recognition, hence it is named Hell Weapon.

Although Agatha has been a nun for only a short time and hasn’t executed many field missions,

this trip accompanying Luo Di counts as her sixth outing.

However, in her previous trips, she successfully completed all the Warrants and accumulated a certain amount of contributions. On her fourth return to the Great Monastery, she encountered the Hell Trading Group by chance.

When Agatha left the Trading Group, she acquired an iron rod that perfectly matched her system.

"Ferroclast"

It is an ultra-heavy weapon that only someone with Agatha’s strength and control over cylindrical metal can wield freely; other peers simply cannot handle it.

It not only delivers devastating crushing blows,

but also disperses the properties of Painful Metal after causing physical damage, growing tiny iron pillars in the damaged areas of the opponent’s body.

Such a weapon also secured Agatha’s position within the nun squad.

...

Now,

using her metal perception, Agatha located the sewer area and had just reached the entrance of the underground chamber when she saw Luo Di rush out from inside, as if forcefully ejected by a great force.

However, as Luo Di left the underground chamber, his left arm quickly supported him on the ground.

Torture Device Construction.

A beast trap integrated with the environment was instantly created and placed at the doorway.

Without any communication, Agatha roughly guessed the situation and detected a dangerous smell coming from the underground chamber, trailing behind Luo Di.

She only needed to wait at the doorway, anticipating her opponent to step into the trap.

Whew...

With the beast trap as a focal point,

Agatha assumed a posture similar to a baseball player’s.

Click!

The beast trap activated, clamping onto the target’s legs.

Agatha’s arm, filled with power, swung out swiftly, directly targeting the opponent’s body with much greater force than normal combat strikes.

Smack!

The loud noise spread throughout the sewer area, even startling the patrol guards hundreds of meters away.

Looking at the complete right leg left in the beast trap,

Agatha’s face not only lacked a joyful expression, but her facial muscles also tightened, and her pupils dilated.

The result of her strike was completely different from what she had anticipated...

"How is this guy’s reaction speed possible? His attention was all on Luo Di and the beast trap, and I made my striking move almost the moment he appeared.

He was still able to react instantly, abandon and tear off his own right leg.

At the same time, he raised his arm to block,

his body swiftly shifted sideways along the direction of the hit, dissipating the force... This guy’s physical and nerve reactions are top class even among the Spine, just one step away from Demon Ascension. No wonder the Warrant offers such a high reward.

Missing such a great opportunity, it will be very difficult to kill this guy again, and will come at a significant cost."

A hundred meters away,

Kuleon stood on one foot, his left hand pressed against the wall, gasping deeply.

His right leg was left with the beast trap, and his right arm was completely destroyed by the iron rod strike, even the organs and bones in his right half body were shattered.

Looking at his right arm hanging in mid-air in a meaty mush and the tiny iron pillars embedded in the damaged flesh.

Kuleon instead sighed in relief, glad to have survived.

He opened his deformed mouth, biting off his entire right arm to rid himself of the suffering erosion.

He senses the two presences a hundred meters away,

"I didn’t expect my last step to have so many obstacles... This must be the arrangement of Hell’s will, the path I chose inherently requires the abandonment of the flesh.

This battle is destined to require me to burnt out my spinal cord, to derive life from death!

I must ascend above the heads of those Spine, to become an unparalleled higher being... Open Spine!"

Crack crack crack!

Kuleon’s spine began to twist,

It wasn’t just the Spine changing,

Even the muscles on his back, displaying brain fold patterns, began to convulse wildly.

1. The spine elongates, dragging like a long tail behind him. It’s then covered with a layer of brain tissue on the surface of the bones, and ultimately encased in a structure of dark gray dragon scales.

2. His already festering, pus-filled body having its potential further squeezed. The energy of the spine is fully extracted for use in Open Spine and bodily harm repair.

Crack~ bones grow.

Bones similar to the structure of the spine sprout immediately at the wounds of the right arm and right leg.

The finger bones also display a multiple cone structure of the spine,

Once the skeletal structure forms, further develop muscles with brain fold structures before finally covering with gray skin, completing limb regeneration.

3. His upright body gradually lays on the ground, the black curved blade tucked between his arms, Dragon Spine slightly twisting on his back, displaying a special attack stance.

Though it is Open Spine.

But Kuleon’s body looked even thinner, his body had been pushed to its limits, yet this was also his strongest moment.

His abandoned eyes can’t see the target, but they can see the gate already built deep in his thoughts, only missing the last piece of skull, and then he could stabilize the connection to achieve the final Demon Ascension.

Among the enemies in front of him, there was a young man who wasn’t a member of Evil Play, but could disguise himself as one, perhaps his skull could fill the last gap.

Just as Kuleon was about to make his move,

A tumor-man, large enough to nearly fill the sewer, arrived here, his swollen eyeballs quickly locking onto the three intruders.

Two of them were Hell Monks, whose special status could absolve them of pursuit.

But the nearest Spine had some problems.

The guard moved its huge body closer, its belly splitting open to reveal a mouth full of sharp teeth, intending to swallow Kuleon whole and take him back to Navel Port for interrogation.

Swoosh!

The plainly visible Spine has disappeared,

The next second, the guard’s body, which filled the channel, tore apart violently, with all kinds of pus exploding everywhere, instantly killing him.

Kuleon stood among the remaining parts of the guard’s body, holding the most core tumor, which was also the guard’s Hell Item.

The spherical meat ball emitted a green light, containing a core-like structure within.

Kuleon absolutely did not care about the stench and fungi, he bit down on it! Even drinking all the juices inside.

His previously drained body received nourishment and recovery, granting a longer stabilization of the Open Spine state, but also suffered further infection, with multiple tumors of various sizes growing out.

However, when Kuleon looked up again, sniffing the situation in front of him, the image constructed by smell only showed the nun holding the iron rod still standing in place.

The dual-system young man had vanished, not even a hint of his presence detectable by smell.

"Where is he?

No matter... Let’s deal with the nun first, I have never tried slaughtering a Hell Monk before!"

The time for Open Spine is limited, Kuleon’s body does not possess perception methods, unable to spare time to search for Luo Di’s presence.

Just as he was quickly crawling towards Agatha, an eye suddenly grew out of a wall in the sewer, quietly watching him, observing him.
