The system was unaware that this sword had a critical hit effect against dragons; it only noticed that the sword was very sharp and sturdy. If the materials were hard to find and it was difficult to craft a weapon with equivalent effects, could it perhaps keep it...?
The battle, which seemed to be ending only with death, suddenly paused, because the sound of the clappers that had traveled through the wind and rain suddenly stopped.
The clapper that had been stimulating him stopped, and the monster dragon was momentarily stunned. The system took the opportunity to stab him a few more times, and even tried to see if it could directly dislocate his arms and limbs, but it was a bit difficult.
When the clapper stopped, Lu Mingfei finally felt his mind return to normal and he was able to think clearly again.
His first reaction was, "Oh no! How did he get so badly injured?"
Fighting against the dragon-bone monster that Erii had transformed into, he couldn't gain a complete advantage and would occasionally get grazed. But even such a slight scratch would immediately cause a dent in his body, which was enhanced by the Immortal Word of Power and was like a steel alloy...
This dragon-man monster actually dented an alloy steel plate measured in centimeters! And Lu Mingfei had more than one such injury!
Ouch! If the power of words is broken, won't I be in excruciating pain?!
After considering his physical condition, Lu Mingfei didn't dwell on the matter further and began to think about other things:
It's understandable that this strange clapper sound can control Erii and Genji, since these two were born through artificial technology and have always been "under the control" of others. It seems reasonable that they have undergone some strange modifications.
But why am I reacting to this clapper sound?
The clapper sound stopped, and Erii hadn't recovered yet. Was death truly the only way to end this battle?
Lu Mingfei was at his wits' end, feeling overwhelmed by the sheer number of problems, especially given the limited time available.
[...The host can try activating the Word of Power in their mind!...]
Upon seeing the system's analysis, Lu Mingfei issued the Word of Power: Supreme without the slightest hesitation.
Lu Mingfei and the system activated their two supreme Words of Power simultaneously, completely breaking through the Judgment Domain's blockade of the area. People outside, who had been feeling lingering fear, finally clearly felt that "heart-stirring" sensation.
Moreover, they were attacked directly by the Word of Power Supreme without any warning!
"What the hell is going on?" Xia Mi couldn't help but shudder, almost letting go of the man in her arms. She cursed inwardly, "This Goblin Norton, how come he has so many strange things? Half an alchemist, plus this effect of imitating the wrath of a black dragon, his alchemy is amazing!"
After cursing under her breath, Xia Mi threw the man she was holding onto the ground without hesitation, then kicked the man who was like a dead dog and asked, "Speak up, are you going to talk or not?"
The man was thrown to the ground, but he didn't say a word, nor did he seem to want to answer her question.
Xia Mi kicked him twice more at lightning speed, then asked, "If you don't tell me, I'll kill you!"
“You didn’t ask anything…” Herzog almost vomited blood. All you did was interrogate without asking questions, huh?
Chapter 162 The White King's Affairs Are Over (6k)
"Hmm..." Xia Mi thought for a moment and said, "How did you control Uesugi Erii?"
Before Herzog could even speak, she stomped on his face, clamping his jaw shut and preventing him from speaking properly, before saying, "You'd better tell the truth..."
Herzog lay on the ground, his face being stepped on.
This girl's strength is astonishing. You have to know that in the Snake Clan, in the early stages of his rise to power, he really fought on the front lines, risking his life. Although there was an element of acting involved, his combat power was truly impressive; he was definitely an ace elite.
Strength, speed, and skill are all impeccable.
But when faced with this girl, he was like an ordinary hybrid who had encountered a royal blood monster like Genjiro, and was powerless to resist her!
So close, so very close! Why is Lu Mingfei so terrifying! Compared to him, Erii's almost dragon-like body seemed like a defective product, easily taken down by him.
The opponent didn't go all out in their last battle with Uesugi Kotsuki! They were probably just toying with him the whole time!
He had been monitoring the battle with the Red Well, and when he saw that Erii, now in her dragon form, was unable to hold on, he knew she was doomed.
But as he was reluctantly contemplating whether to take another gamble or simply run away... this girl named Xia Mi easily found the place, kicked the door open, and with her absurd speed and strength, subdued him in one move.
His fighting skills were utterly worthless in front of this girl who subdued people with sheer force! They were completely useless!
"Is there still a chance?"
Herzog's mind was racing.
However, before the other party spoke, Xia Mi thought for a moment and felt that what the other party said would most likely need to be verified through some technology, so why not just verify it directly?
The battle at Red Well is almost over, so if we take Herzog over now, we should be able to catch the tail end of it.
Thinking of this, she lifted her foot and said, "Suddenly I feel that what you say may not be credible. It's more reliable to ask us using technology. Now, you don't need to say anything more."
As she spoke, she casually kicked Herzog, who was lying on the ground.
With just a casual kick, Herzog felt as if his body had been dismembered! He was completely paralyzed, as if his entire body had been dislocated.
"Hey! Chu Zihang!"
Xia Mi casually made a phone call to ask Chu Zihang to come and pick up the person.
Having captured Herzog alive and made such a great contribution, shouldn't he get a promotion? Shouldn't he have two or three underlings? If he, as the boss, has to personally promote someone, wouldn't his underlings be so ashamed that they'd commit suicide?
By the way, Panpan mentioned that Ronald Tang is supposedly an alchemical genius. We need to bring him under our control and manipulate the alchemical matters. This thing is ultimately useful; putting Ronald Tang in the spotlight will make things easier by using him…
When Chu Zihang walked over, he saw Xia Mi squatting on the ground using her phone and an old man lying on the ground beside her, breathing but unable to move.
This old man's face... doesn't it look a bit like Tachibana Masamune's?
"You're here." Xia Mi finished getting information about Ronald Tang from Panpan, put away her phone and said to Chu Zihang, "This person is Herzog. I broke his joints. He can only breathe, he can't speak or move. Let's take him to find Boss Lu."
After saying this, fearing that he might not understand her good intentions, Xia Mi added, "Don't say I didn't give you a heads-up. Capturing Herzog is a great achievement. By having you bring him over, I'm sharing some of the credit with you."
"With so many people under Boss Lu now, including seasoned veterans like Sakurai Kogure, it's easy to fall out of favor without some achievements."
"You don't want to be marginalized and ostracized by those people, and miss the chance to experience Boss Lu's latest Living Alchemy Matrix technology, do you..."
Who knows when the next time we'll fight the Dragon King will be? The Dragon King isn't some stray dog running around in the streets, so we still need to cling to No. Luminfeldton's coattails and gain enough trust to make it easier to abscond with the money next time.
Xia Mi was confident that she could stand out from the crowd of people vying for favor, but it wouldn't be right to be too outstanding. She needed to gather some followers and form cliques to appear more normal.
She was just trying to appear more normal; she didn't care about the other mixed-race people at all.
What kind of trash is he? Just a random roadside creature. Is he more important than her, a super hybrid with super word power...? That's hard to say. She didn't know what Norton was up to. He even pulled out a living alchemy matrix. It wasn't impossible for him to turn those people into alchemy super hybrids.
Xia Mi pondered the thoughts and ideas of the servants in human society.
"Ah."
Chu Zihang remained expressionless. After responding, it was unclear whether he understood Xia Mi's words. He then hoisted the mud-like Herzog onto his shoulder and walked out with Xia Mi toward the Red Well.
The trial area that had created the spectacle had collapsed, and people from Kassel College began trying to go in and check on the situation, even without the principal's orders.
However, they didn't dare all go in. If the trial suddenly resumed and they were all shot, that would be troublesome.
Besides launching suicidal charges every 5 minutes to delay the people inside, they also had to surround the Red Well to prevent people from running away without them knowing. Therefore, they could only send small teams of two or three people to cautiously explore the center of the Red Well from all directions.
"Damn it, Fingel, why are you hiding behind me? Shouldn't you be the one covering me?"
Caesar lowered his voice and shielded Fingel in front of him.
"No, guild leader, you have the Word of Power: Kamaitachi, so you go ahead and scout ahead! If anything seems wrong, just run back, and I'll cover your retreat! Besides, it's easy to get ambushed from behind, I'm doing this for your own good..."
"Bullshit, if you're in front, you can at least cover me if we're attacked..."
Caesar remained silent, simply supporting Fingel as they walked forward.
It's not that he's afraid of dying or anything, but this is the best tactic. Fingal has the power of the Bronze Throne, so what's the point of hiding behind a support character like himself?
They have absolutely no spirit of unity!
Two voices rapidly approached, making Caesar tense.
If the Judgment Word of Power hadn't been so overpowered, he would never have obediently explored the Red Well in a team-based manner, but instead would have displayed heroic spirit, leading the way for everyone.
But faced with a trial where reaping lives is not much different from mowing grass, he had no choice but to set aside his individual heroism and choose to cooperate with the team to ensure that there would be no major casualties...
The fact that there was no news of a trial relieved Caesar.
It's footsteps approaching, but why are they four-legged? Is Deadpool running?
Caesar turned around and saw a man and a woman running towards him.
"Hurry, hurry, the people from Kassel College are coming in. Go in faster, we have to be the first to support Boss Lu and the others..." Xia Mi said to Chu Zihang, urging Chu Zihang, who was carrying Herzog, to run faster.
Chu Zihang's golden eyes shone brightly. Carrying Herzog, weighing over a hundred pounds, was nothing to him as he ran, but the problem was that he really couldn't run fast anymore! His speed limit was right there; he wasn't some super hybrid freak like Xia Mi...
The two ran past Caesar and his companion, who were acting like thieves, completely ignoring them, and headed straight for the center of the Red Well.
"It looks like Lu Mingfei's men, right?" Fingel said to Caesar. "They're running so fast, it's like they've got something good to do... Should we run in too?"
Caesar hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Go! No, run!"
The two of them resumed their previous cautious steps and chose to run into the center of the Red Well.
……
The system looked at the white monster's massive body and asked Angers, who was now able to sit up, "How can we stop this situation?"
The white monster had been drained of blood by the system, and her wounds were healing at an incredibly slow pace; not a single drop of blood could flow from them anymore… But the madness in her eyes did not stop at all. If it weren't for the fact that she still seemed somewhat rational, it would be more accurate to say that she had become Deadpool.
"This is called the Dragon Bone State. When the bloodline in her body can no longer squeeze out enough power to maintain it, it will automatically exit. The Dragon Bone State is one of the manifestations of a hybrid being infinitely close to a dragon. Only a true dragon can have so many bones in its body. Even the emperors of the Snake Clan, whose bloodline ratio is full, may not all have the Dragon Bone State."
"But if you're asking about her being controlled by others, then I don't know either."
Angers had already exited the dragon bone state, but his dark golden eyes couldn't close on their own. After the super-intense activation of his dragon blood, this 130-year-old man actually looked younger, truly giving the impression of getting younger with age.
He stepped forward, looked at the white monster, and frowned: "I'm not quite sure how the king controlled her. But to be honest, I feel it's more like someone else took over her body and operated it."
He looked at Yuan Zhinü, who was still sprawled on the ground: "Perhaps we should ask him for the answer."
The dragon scales on Genji's body have faded, returning him to a normal human state. Due to the blockage of his blood vessels, the power of his dragon blood has been suppressed, and his body has begun to turn purple.
Facing the gazes of Angers and Lu Mingfei, his indifferent eyes were full of composure, just as the school teacher had said, showing no sign of remorse whatsoever.
Compared to Erii, who has lost her mind, he possesses complete personal consciousness, but he is completely different from the Kazama Ruri that Lu Mingfei remembers.
"How about we try shocking it a few more times with the Thunder Pool?"
The system planned to use torture to extract a confession, so it detonated a Word of Power called Thunder Pool next to Genji.
It didn't mind revealing its numerous powers of speech to Angers; compared to these powers, Angers seemed more like someone who hadn't turned off their cheat codes.
Even with such a high level of royal bloodline, a full bloodline ratio might not guarantee the existence of a dragon bone form. For example, Genjiro didn't have one, but Angers did.
Moreover, Angers never showed a hint of surprise when he saw him use multiple incantations.
Mirror Eyes is truly amazing, so wonderful.
"Judging from his appearance, he probably won't say anything. Perhaps we should think of another way to pry open his mouth." Angers discussed with the system how to extract useful information from Yuan Zhinv.
"Boss Lu! I caught that bastard Herzog!"
