"And I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I always feel that this muscular guy is particularly fond of... killing his own kind?"
"..."
"Long legs, plain face, no brains, do you think their dragon-slaying operation will succeed?"
However, when faced with Su Enxi's question, which seemed to be a question to herself, the earpiece remained silent with no response.
One was on the front lines, dodging and weaving among thousands of giant pythons, with no time to spare; the other was secretly protecting Lu Mingfei, his taciturn nature making him silent.
"Wow, his blade flames are almost ten meters long! He's really giving his opponent a ten-meter head start."
"This terrifying speed must be at least at the fifth level or higher, right?"
"Isn't this huge Word of Power supposed to be the Bronze Throne? When did it learn to play with fire?"
Su Enxi didn't mind and kept describing what she saw through the satellite images to her two best friends.
Among the many known Words of Power, the Word of Power: Heavenly Evolution is an extremely rare and special existence.
Unlike the release of ordinary incantations, which mostly involves mobilizing the power of the dragon blood within the body and communicating with elements through some ritual contained in the dragon language, the possessor of the Heavenly Evolution is as if they have an extra switch in their brain.
Simply turn on the switch of Tianyan to quickly enhance the brain's thinking and computing abilities, enabling it to process thousands of different pieces of information simultaneously in an instant and then calculate the results at high speed.
Even so, she has never been able to figure out a key question:
What is Cao Han's purpose?!
Slaughter all your kind, and then become the king of the world?
The thought had only been on her mind for less than a second before Su Enxi dismissed it. If she really had that idea, why would she need to hide her identity and join Kassel College?
In general.
In Su Enxi's eyes, Cao Han was a walking enigma, and this enigma was like a vortex that constantly attracted the curiosity of those who were interested.
It's too late, but it's soon.
Perhaps only a few words had passed, but Cao Han had already reached the edge of the snake sea by using his wide-ranging and efficient attacks.
Only one obstacle remains to break through the encirclement of the snake sea—a two-headed snake, the largest in the entire snake sea.
At first glance, Cao Han felt as if a two-headed chimera from Ashenvale in the game Warcraft had broken through the dimensional barrier and appeared before him.
The dark purple scales were covered with eerie blue patterns. Sharp horns had appeared between the two ferocious and huge snake heads. Behind its huge body were a pair of wings that could completely cover the sky when spread out. Its thick legs left a huge crack and pit with each step on the ice.
Even a tiny drop of saliva accidentally falling onto the ice from its gaping maw makes a sizzling sound; if an ordinary person were to touch it...
It probably wouldn't take more than a few seconds for it to be corroded into a pool of bloody mud by the venom.
Like a level-based game, Cao Han had easily and happily defeated the small Karami blocking his way. To meet the final boss (Leviathan, the King of the Ocean and Water), he still needed to pass the test of elite monsters.
"This looks very poisonous."
A strong physique brings not only speed and strength, but also recovery ability and resistance to poison.
Cao Han wouldn't dare say he was absolutely immune to poisons, but he was certainly immune to most common toxins.
The key is that he can withstand it, but his combat uniform might not be able to.
It has nothing to do with temperature; I just don't want to run naked.
With this in mind, Cao Han secretly decided to go all out to deal with the chimera in front of him in the shortest possible time.
"This is a good opportunity to test whether the knowledge I got for free from Beowulf is any good."
His forward momentum abruptly halted, and when Cao Han took a breath, the exhalation felt like an arrow being shot through his terrifying lung capacity.
He deftly twirled the sword and returned it to his waist, but surprisingly, he didn't sheath it.
But Cao Han gripped the hilt with his right hand, while his left hand unexpectedly seized the sharp blade.
With the skin's defenses intentionally relaxed, the black blade sliced through the palm, splattering out golden dragon blood that looked like gilded gold.
However, none of the scorching golden dragon blood dripped onto the ice surface; instead, every single drop was absorbed by the black blade.
This is one of the pieces of knowledge Professor Beowulf gave Cao Han: how to maximize the ferocity of an alchemical weapon in the shortest amount of time.
Blood sacrifice!
Chapter 191 The Approaching Final Battle
Roar!!!
hum~~~
First, a strange, ferocious roar exploded like thunder in my ears, followed by the black knife emitting an excited buzzing sound.
Only by holding its owner could Cao Han vaguely sense that it was a kind of longing.
An intense craving to drink blood!
Whether it belongs to the master or the enemy!
"No wonder that old man Beowulf said that blood sacrifice should not be attempted lightly unless absolutely necessary..."
"The advantages are obvious, but the disadvantages are also obvious. If it is used too many times, it can easily activate the ferocity of the alchemical weapon and turn it into a weapon that will devour its master, similar to a 'demon sword'."
The black blade may be considered a top-tier alchemical weapon, but to think it could influence Cao Han is, frankly, wishful thinking.
If we really have to worry about something, it has to be the legendary Seven Deadly Sins, a complete set of top-tier alchemical weapons personally crafted by the King of Bronze and Fire.
Talk about it.
A good horse needs a good saddle, and a hero needs a fine sword.
Cao Han had indeed considered the Dragon King's Treasure from the original "Seven Deadly Sins" series, and had Fingel use his superb hacking skills to help him find it, based on his memories from the original work.
The result, naturally, was... that not a single clue was found.
Unfortunately, the alchemy that humans currently possess is not capable of creating top-tier alchemical weapons; otherwise, Cao Han felt that heavy weapons would be more suitable for him.
The black blade isn't bad, but it can't fully utilize its superhuman strength, and its killing power is quite limited when facing the massive bodies of dragons.
Everyone has their own area of expertise. Even the contemporary alchemy master Flamel, who is also the vice principal, is more skilled in life and rune alchemy, but his expertise lies solely in weapon forging...
Slightly inferior.
Ordinary second-rate alchemical weapons are naturally easy to use, but truly top-tier, first-rate weapons capable of damaging even a first-generation Dragon King are beyond their capabilities.
The main research focus of the academy's equipment department is also the combination of alchemy and modern weaponry.
Perhaps this can be considered a form of human arrogance.
The rise of firearms naturally accompanied the decline of the era of cold weapons, and even when studying the subconscious, people tend to choose what they want to see.
Time is tight and tasks are heavy.
With the main task of covering Fingel's breakthrough of the snake sea encirclement completed, Cao Han no longer wanted to waste any more time and energy on these "Karami".
"One-Sword Asura!"
Cao Han, in a slightly childish way, recited the moves from an anime.
In the blink of an eye, the immense boost from the Word of Power: Moment within his body receded like a tide, replaced by the feeling that the Word of Power: Time Zero had almost completely stopped the flow of time around him.
Dragon Blood + Dragon Runes + Elements = Word of Power
This is the most basic formula for forming the power of words: dragon blood is a necessary condition, dragon script is the bridge, and elements are the medium.
When the necessary conditions are strong enough, the medium can be directly controlled without the need for a bridge.
To put it more vividly, it's like the ninjutsu in a certain ninja series. In the early episodes, releasing an A-rank ninjutsu would take more than a minute of screen time just to form hand seals, and the hands would be moving so fast that they would leave afterimages.
Let's take a look at the later stages...
Madara: What are hand seals? A clap of both hands is an S-rank ninjutsu to wipe out the enemy.
Cao Han's current use of Word of Power is just like this. His bloodline as a second-generation species is equivalent to a prince in the Dragon Clan. Looking at the entire Dragon Clan, his status is only below the two kings and four monarchs. The conversion between Word of Power: Moment and Word of Power: Zero Time is just a matter of a single thought.
"If you're that ugly, don't come out and scare people, you idiot!"
To outsiders it might have seemed like just an insignificant blink, but Cao Han's figure had already vanished from the spot.
Before Cao Hanxin's location could be found, the terrifying chimera let out a painful roar.
boom! ! !
The heavy object crashed onto the ice with a loud bang, and a flurry of snowflakes swept across the sky, obscuring the view.
Starting today, the problem of two heads simultaneously vying for control of the body may no longer exist.
The dust has settled.
When the chimera reappeared in sight, only one of its two heads remained, and the other side had become a flat, circular cut, from which a large amount of eerie, purplish-blue blood was still gushing out.
The blood made a sizzling, corrosive sound as soon as it touched the ice.
As expected of the ruler of the snake sea, every part of its body contains potent venom; even touching the layers of blue markings on its purple scales can cause poisoning.
A wounded beast may be more ferocious, but a severely wounded beast will not!
The loss of a head was the only way to stop the horrific wound on the chimera's neck; otherwise, dying from bleeding would have been the best description of his fate.
After the battle.
Cao Han keenly noticed that the black knife in his hand seemed to have changed.
When it slashed across the chimera's neck, it drank a mouthful of the enemy's blood, and an eerie light seemed to flow across the black blade.
Another major discovery was that the black sword, when the alchemical matrix was fully activated, also had the effect of making it difficult for enemy wounds to heal.
"Fingal, let's hurry up and go deeper. If the snake sea catches up with us again... I'll be fine, but you'll be in trouble."
Cao Han thought he would let the injured chimera go for now, and then take the 100,000 evolution points when he returned after dealing with Leviathan.
"Oh, okay, okay."
Fingel snapped out of his daze and quickly responded.
When he killed the next-generation species at an altitude of 10,000 meters, he was inside, and Cao Han was outside.
When the White King was killed deep in the ocean, he was on top, and Cao Han was on the bottom.
When Herzog was killed in the lab, he was outside, and Cao Han was inside...
Each time, Fingel had managed to avoid Cao Han's attack by some twist of fate, but this time, witnessing it so closely, he truly felt the unfathomable and terrifying strength of the other party.
