Chapter 348 A makeshift team, evolving on the spot
[That looked so close! That number 4 contestant is amazing!]
[This person probably doesn't know the boss's trump card, right?]
[Waaah, thank goodness Aurora's alright! That ninja got killed in a counterattack; Italy really stood up for themselves this time!]
[The actor seemed to be having a lot of fun, hmm...]
Hart, of course, had no idea that his country's command center was already in a frenzy, selecting the next person to enter the game.
"How could his strength have developed so quickly?!"
This damn information gap!
Two more days... In two days they can contact the player and tell Hart about the opponent's new trump card, but unfortunately...
Hattari came knocking on the door today!
The top agent in the [Ocean Era] felt he had thoroughly figured out Ren Yi's background.
"Ha... It's full of flaws."
It's time to end this boring cat-and-mouse game.
Hart paused, then deliberately pretended that the thrusters had malfunctioned and the engine had shut down.
This seems like a perfect opportunity to strike back.
really......
The clumsy fish, which had been passively defending, suddenly lit up its eyes and eagerly launched an attack, attempting to pierce Hart's chest.
So easily fooled, like a green recruit who thinks he's a god of war.
Hart sneered, turned his body, and easily dodged the expected, reckless attack.
at the same time,
He drew the sword from his staff, which had been ready to strike, and swung it back from a blind spot.
It was too close. At this distance, he could almost see the sharp blade of the sword rapidly magnifying in any of his pupils.
There's no escaping it.
That extremely disproportionate tail became a fatal hindrance, making it impossible for him to make any effective evasive maneuvers in the current situation.
The time frame was relatively extended.
However... just as the blade was about to pierce Ren Yi's abdomen, Hart suddenly noticed the other's completely expressionless eyes.
Oh no, something's fishy!
The moment the thought crossed his mind, he felt the sword in his hand.
"puff--!"
The cold metal pierced Ren Yi's abdomen without any surprise.
Hart: "?"
Is this a new type of psychological tactic?
...No matter what, hitting the target is good!
Before Hart could finish him off and declare victory, a hand adorned with an extravagant emerald ring gripped his sword firmly, seemingly unfazed by the injury.
He glanced down at the weapon piercing his body and frowned deeply.
"...My clothes are torn."
This was specially made for him by an enthusiastic child; such enthusiasm won't last long.
But, caught—hmm?
Just now, Renyi's thumb had already slashed across the Raven's blade, intending to activate the Serpent Shadow and engage in a close-quarters, dragon-like spear strike with Hart, who was right next to him.
But at this moment,
The attribute panel of the sword he was holding popped up:
[Sword in the Staff]
[Characteristic 1: Lightness. Thrust speed increased by 10%.]
【Characteristic 2: Wind-breaking. Creates an airflow barrier upon thrusting, reducing drag by 20%.】
[Characteristic 3: Tear. Causes bleeding to compensate for its excessive thinness.]
[Review: Forged from Luna titanium alloy with a small amount of mithril—a perfect blend of technology and sturdiness, allowing users to experience a feeling of flying. PS: Speeding is allowed here without a ticket.]
In an instant, all the past events...
What murder, what snake shadow, what clothes...
Now, any eye can only hold two large characters that seem to have built-in bold, italic, underlined, and soft-focus effects—
Mithril!
"Decompose, decompose, decompose!"
Decomposition failed.
[The goal and the spiritual body are connected.]
Ren Yi paused for a moment.
Oh, right... his little darling is still being held hostage by someone else!
......
Hart looked at the sword he had plunged into the enemy's body and sensed that something was very wrong.
At this point, the other person should be in excruciating pain and stiffen.
At the very least, they should look pained.
But now...
Why are they staring at me with such bright eyes?!
This must be a trap!
The thought flashed through his mind like lightning. Decisive as he was, Hart was about to abandon his sword and retreat when, in the instant he released his grip, he heard a sound:
"Get out."
Any of its previously clumsy tails now resembled wild donkeys that had broken free of their reins.
"Slap! Slap!"
Two solid blows landed on Hart's body.
Hart probably never imagined that, as a human being, a top agent, he would one day experience the joy of a spinning top in the ocean...
That silver tail was indeed not very flexible, but it was incredibly strong.
The moment it hit my body, the balance of the thrusters was broken, and all I could see were blurry bubbles.
As he endured the dizziness and severed the thruster in his right leg, then relied on his core strength to forcibly stabilize himself, the anticipated follow-up attack did not come.
No one had time to bother with him.
[A decomposable target, a sword within a staff, has been detected. Decompose it?]
to be frank,
He strongly suspected that the United States had no one left, and that this contestant was borrowed from the United States... But that's normal, their history of success is pretty much the same.
"break down."
Silently recite with contentment.
Hart watched helplessly as his beloved sword, meticulously crafted from Luna Titanium and Mithril, transformed into a cluster of dazzling blue specks on the other side, and then... it was gone.
Apart from a hole in his clothes, not a drop of blood was visible on the other person.
What the hell?!
Could this not be some random, real body... but some kind of remotely controlled robot?!
He needs to get his Undertaker over here immediately!
[Decomposition successful]
You have obtained: Luna Titanium Alloy*1, Mithril*1
The sheer joy made her heart race, and she immediately brought up the evolution panel:
[Evolutionary Path Three: Abyss]
[Trait 1: Domination. Exerts rank-based suppression over deep-sea creatures, requiring a mental assessment (the success rate decreases with higher-level creatures, influenced by their subjective will); success results in a state of "submission."]
[Trait 2: Plunder. Can consume biological energy to temporarily and forcibly fuse with the traits of a creature that has "submitted".]
[Inherited Deep Sea Shadow Lv3 traits]
[Evolutionary Requirements:]
【1. Divine Bone (1/1) ✔】
【2.God Core(1/1)✔】
【3. Resentment (202/100) ✔】
【4. Mithril (10/10) ✔】
【5. Evolution Points (10018/5000) ✔】
[Evolutionary requirements met, confirm evolution?]
With so much resentment, it seems Dala Bengba has been working very hard.
"evolution."
As these two words were silently recited in his mind, an indescribable and intangible tremor rippled outwards from the center of the arbitrarily shaped sphere.
That is... the expansion of 'presence'.
A black shadow, visible only to Renyi, detached from his body and connected to the moving [Deep Sea Shadow].
