Chapter 1102 - Chapter 1102 Chapter 1101 Strength (Another Fusion Chapter)

Chapter 1102: Chapter 1101: Strength (Another Fusion Chapter) Chapter 1102: Chapter 1101: Strength (Another Fusion Chapter) “The Ancient Leather Giant with the ‘Infinite’ special trait can be said to be a unique existence in modern times.”

“Hop, whose physique and strength can grow infinitely, has a body that is over ten times the size of an adult Ancient Leather Giant… Yet, he can easily assume a ‘Human Form’ and remain stable within the normal human body size range for long periods.”

“Compared to the equally gigantic White Rimu, Hop’s ‘Human Form’ is more natural, flexible, and closer to human shape.”

“If one were to peek inside Hop’s body, they would find the structure of internal organs similar to that of humans, showing his exquisite control over his body.”

“Han Dong was also intently watching Hop.”

“When Han Dong used the Demon Eye to peer into Hop’s body, something astonishing happened.”

“The ultra-high-density muscle fibers, combined with some secret muscle method, could block Han Dong’s Demon Eye probes, each muscle seemingly possessing its own life force.”

“It wasn’t difficult to suspect.”

“Hop might have fused his muscles with the tentacles, and the muscles spread throughout his body could be the manifestation of ‘Tentacle Isomerization’.”

“The muscle density… perhaps only Winry grown into an elite knight might vaguely compare, and this guy seems also to have learned some demon mystery related to ‘body’.”

“If the tentacles have truly fused perfectly with the muscles, this guy is undoubtedly a monster through and through.”

“At that moment.”

“The consciousness of Sally from the Black Goat suddenly connected with Han Dong.”

“‘Nicholas, if you return to being human after the London event, you really need to watch out for ‘Hop.’ If a real conflict were to burst between demons and humans, Hop, having reached Mythic Body, won’t be stopped by your city walls.”

“His physical body is a weapon of destruction.”

“‘Infinite,’ a trait that is rare among us Element Bodies and highly coveted by all, considering growth potential, his rank among us would rise.”

“All right… but let’s try to avoid starting anything.”

“Having known about ‘Black Tower’ and the ‘global situation,’ personally, Han Dong wanted no part of a human-demon conflict at this critical juncture… According to Han Dong’s instincts, at least the Holy City wouldn’t.”

“Yet for the Capital City of Engineers in America, one could never be sure.”

“…”

“From the last event when the butcher left the stage, admitting he was the weakest craftsman on the team.”

“They did not adopt the strategy of using weaker ones first as per Tian Ji’s horse-racing strategies, but instead sorted normally from weaker to stronger.”

“This woman, regarding the Craftsman Spirit, is ‘more exquisite’ than the previous butcher.”

“And, housed within her body, the ‘Golden Liquid’ was twice that of butcher Lu’s, with the heart wrapped in silk shining with radiant golden specks.”

“Being a woman, her way of handling things was also more meticulous, having seemingly anticipated Hop’s strength.”

“She went all out right from the start.”

“Snap!”

“The geisha’s head bent backward 90 degrees, looking straight up at the sky.”

“Her entire jaw dropped, revealing a smooth mouthpiece… then a large amount of silk spilled from the esophagus, forming a special substitute in the air – the ‘Dyer’.”

“Physically, the substitute’s improvement was somewhat lesser than the butcher’s.”

“It was a substitute wearing a white Prajna Mask, made of silk, holding a ‘Dye Pen’ in hand, standing about two meters tall.”

“As the substitute formed, it quickly drifted towards Hop.”

“The ‘Dye Pen’ in hand was smeared with a strange black dye.”

“Boom!”

“The moment the substitute got close, it was punched and instantly shattered by the explosive nature of the energy, with only a few broken silk ribbons fluttering in the air.”

“However.”

“The woman was not hurt, instead, from her chin-less mouth, a strange laughter echoed.”

“A strange thing happened.”

“Several more silk ribbons burst from the woman’s throat, reconstructing the substitute holding the ‘Dye Pen’.”

“However, the rebuilt substitute differed slightly in size, and the mask had changed from the prior Prajna to a Venetian mask.”

“Meanwhile, as Hop hit the substitute, his arm that swung the punch also got touched by the ‘Dye Pen’.”

“His entire right arm turned black as if something had been stripped away.”

“Yet Hop didn’t feel much different, his finger movements and punching were normal, and the internal muscle control was also fine.”

“Haha… Indeed, your body is strong, several times stronger than Lu’s.”

“But your intelligence seems not too high, apparently unaware of the changes in your body. Dullness could lead to your death.”

“Hop did not get irritated by the mockery; instead, he scratched his beard in confusion, not really understanding what had happened to his body.”

“He also did not wait around.”

“When Hop stepped forward, the ground immediately exploded… His explosive sprint instantly brought him right in front of the Silk Dyeing Craftsman – Me’xyi.”

“The black-dyed right fist swung out fiercely.”

“Boom!”

“The power was unimaginably immense.”

“The punch let out a compression sonic boom, the strong air currents dispersing across the stage, with some spectators near the stage even needing to shield themselves from the powerful airflow.”

“Strangely.”

“Such a punch just stopped in front of Me’xyi, barely touching her skin, unable to cause any damage.”

“Me’xyi’s voice came from her throat: ‘What a robust arm, even the men in the dye house don’t have your body, truly a pity…'”

“Hop encountered this situation for the first time.”

“He quickly pulled back his fist, switching to a side kick with his left leg.”

“Boom!”

“It hit… but what it hit was the substitute blocking the front.”

“The kick easily shattered the substitute, with the torn ribbons fluttering in the air.”

“Hop’s left leg also turned black… this dyeing seemingly meant that the corresponding part couldn’t harm Me’xyi.”

“At the same time.”

“Another brand-new substitute was made, this time wearing a stone mask, holding a strange ‘Dye Pen’.”

“…”

“Normally, faced with such a situation, everyone would pull back to think or observe.”

“But Hop’s brain really didn’t seem up to par, attacking like a brute.”

“This time, using the high-density muscle’s explosive speed, he instantly circled around the substitute, locking onto the real body of [Silk Dyeing Craftsman. Me’xyi].”

“With his undyed left arm, he swung directly out.”

“Boom! The punch connected”

“The mighty force even blasted a fan-shaped pit in the stone platform behind Me’xyi.”

The main body was killed by a punch, but only the broken ribbons floated in the air.

Correspondingly, the left fist Hop had just swung also turned black.

‘Winry’ the main body died.

Off to the side, the doppelganger let out a series of eerie laughter.

He took off the stone mask covering his face.

But the doppelganger revealed a face identical to the main body, Winry… It seemed that before her death, Winry had transferred her main consciousness into the doppelganger.

Or perhaps, from the very beginning, there was never any real distinction between the doppelganger and the main body.

Gurgling~ A large quantity of silk was spat out from his throat, and once again, another doppelganger was constructed, this time wearing a white plastic mask.

Perhaps it is necessary to kill both the main body and the doppelganger simultaneously in order to completely eliminate this Silk Dyeing Craftsman–Winry.

Winry revealed a disgustingly pleased smile, counting the black-dyed parts on Hop’s body with her fingers, “Two hands and one foot… one foot left.”

Who knew.

It seemed that Hop still didn’t understand the situation, or perhaps, driven by an overly competitive spirit, continued to attack.

Using his only un-dyed right leg, he delivered a wide-ranging spinning kick, intending to shatter both the main body and the doppelganger together.

This time the situation got even worse.

Considering that the doppelganger and the main body are equally important.

Hop intended to catch two targets in one kick, leading to an overextended movement and a prolonged leg-cocking process.

That led to him being touched by the Dye Pen before he could even kick.

Buzz!

The completely blackened right leg stopped in front of the Silk Dyeing Craftsman, Winry. No matter how much force he exerted, he couldn’t make that kick– it was like a “one-way seal,” unimpeding the opponent but rendering him unable to harm the dyer.

As a result.

Hop’s limbs were all blackened, leaving him, in Winry’s eyes, without any combat capability.

Moreover, it had only been a minute since the start of the match… Winry had assumed that her opponent would be more cautious after the first mishap.

Who knew Hop was a complete blockhead, wildly attacking without considering the consequences.

Winry mentally labeled her opponent as “reckless” and “stupid.”

The effect of “dyed black” was simple– it nullified any physical damage Hop could do to Winry… The blackened parts couldn’t physically attack Winry.

If she were facing a mage, a curse caster, or a summoner, different dyes would be needed.

Furthermore, with the ‘Golden Liquid’ flowing inside her body, the dye’s effect on demons doubled, suffice to block a part of the limbs once applied.

And, Hop’s only power was brute force… a single dye was enough.

Just then.

Hop, with all his limbs blackened, retreated a fair distance, making a silly tilting-head expression as if he still couldn’t comprehend the situation.

This performance made Winry unable to contain herself and laugh:

“Now that your limbs are useless, it’s pointless to dodge… Go die.”

Thick silk immediately wrapped around Hop, who wasn’t far away.

Since all his limbs were blackened, the power of the limbs couldn’t be used to break free from the silk, causing him to be tightly ensnared.

The silk also continued to tighten internally, the Golden Attribute burning Hop’s demon body as wisps of white smoke continuously rose.

To speed up Hop’s death.

Winry transformed her doppelganger into a longsword wrapped with a silk handle, intending to personally pierce Hop’s brain and heart while letting the silk spread within him.

At that moment.

Hop, like a helpless ‘fish’, spoke for the first time:

“Oh! I get it now… Your heart has completely turned to silk, able to switch freely between the main body and the doppelganger, as long as I find that specific silk responsible for energy output, which corresponds to your ‘heart’, right?”

It turned out that Hop’s confusion had always been about the ‘heart issue.’

He was well aware that a craftsman’s weakness was their heart; while fighting, he had been damaging the doppelganger and the main body, constantly looking for the heart but never finding it… leading to his confusion.

At this very moment.

Winry had already approached him, her sword in hand hesitating because of such a ‘foolish’ question.

“Do you know your situation? What’s the use of knowing now?”

Such words indirectly affirmed Hop’s speculation.

“Oh, then I can kill you now.”

As these plain words left Hop’s mouth.

Winry’s expression drastically changed.

The sense of danger perceived by the Craftsman Spirit surged! She didn’t understand why… Clearly, this young man’s limbs were completely sealed and his body wrapped in silk, incapable of moving; how could he threaten her?

But Winry also trusted the sensation from her own heart.

In an instant, the doppelganger disintegrated!

Transforming into her much-prided defensive barrier–‘Five-colored Silk’ in front of her.

Hop, wrapped in silk, moved his mouth.

His tongue curled inside, ready to strike– ‘Muscle Control.’

Control over the strength of every muscle in the body.

At this moment, or rather from the beginning of the match, Hop had been gradually concentrating the muscles–he had transformed his core tentacles into his tongue–all the power accumulating within the seemingly inconspicuous tongue in his mouth.

At that point.

His bright red tongue shot out from his mouth, creating a sense of spatial distortion brought about by sheer power, making it somewhat unclear to the audience what exactly was happening.

Buzz!

When it collided with the ‘Five-colored Silk’, there was no moment of resistance.

No barriers rippled open; the silk was instantly broken by an indescribable brute force… directly targeting the main red silk inside Winry.

Death approached.

Winry, unable to care about anything else, used all the ‘Golden Liquid’ stored in her heart for defense.

Instantly, golden light radiated from within her body, the silk corresponding to her heart turning golden…

But.

It still wasn’t hard enough…

Boom!

The ‘Stone’ main body corresponding to the large stone stage shattered, and even Fairyland trembled faintly.
