Chapter 1078 Cannot Die

ARRGGHHHH!!!

Emery's Twilight Wolf form boosted him with nearly 400 battle power. However, Anzi the Inhuman was able to rip apart one of his arms with just his bare hands..

It was clear that the man's strength was as inhumane as his endurance.

Enduring the pain that engulfed his body like a forest fire, Emery quickly cast [Blink] and teleported away to the distance. As he gripped his arm to stop the bleeding, for some reason, his opponent didn't chase after him.

When he saw that there were no follow-up attacks, Emery turned to his opponent and finally found the reason.

He could clearly see how the Inhuman's chest was charred and torn with dark liquid dripping from his blackened skin. However, seeing how he was still standing calmly with a similarly composed expression, Emery couldn't help but think that Anzi didn't feel much pain from his attack.

As the inhumane was regenerating from his wound, Emery also quickly cast [Regrow Limb] spell to restore his arm. However, while his spell was doing its job, his mind still couldn't believe that Anzi could still stand after receiving his spell.

[Dao Matter] was his strongest offensive spell that could send a high-level legendary beast to its death. Therefore, he found it really hard to believe that an acolyte would be strong enough to take its full brunt and remain on its feet.

"Is that your best offensive spell?" said Anzi, snapping Emery out of his thoughts.

The words were spoken in such a plain tone that they sounded like a mock to Emery's ears.

"Yes. it is," replied Emery after calming his emotions.

Still wearing a calm expression on his face, Anzi spoke in a serious tone, "With so many spells, You are versatile indeed… but it seems you don't mastered any of them"

Emery nodded at his opponent's remarks, as he agreed that this was the path for someone who had multiple element affinities like he. If for example, Emery only focused on one of his many elemental affinities, by now he should be able to cast more powerful spells.

The Inhuman who had always been quiet since their initial encounter suddenly seemed more chatty about this matter, as he continued to speak, "Your path goes against everything that the Cross family teaches me."

As his ripped arm was still not yet a hundred percent restored, Emery decided that he might as well fill some of his and his opponent's curiosity to buy him some time.

"What do you mean by that?"

Anzi was silent for a moment before opening his mouth again. "I was born and raised to be the strongest defender, a protector to the faction and master; that is my path"

Once again, his opponent's words made Emery remember how the other party's master was the one who kidnapped Klea. The anxiety of not knowing how she was currently starting to overtake Emery once again, and he decided to end this battle quickly so he could find her.

Strengthening his resolve, Emery revealed his second greatest offensive skill.

Based on what Emery had seen so far, the Inhuman must definitely be a dual element acolyte of darkness and plant, hence he should be able to devour the other party without side effects. The reason he had been holding onto and didn't immediately resort to this cruel approach was because he was not willing to hurt others permanently.

Unfortunately, the current situation demanded Emery to start acting more ruthlessly towards the man.

Six razor-sharp blade claws shot out from his knuckles, revealing their brutality to the world. He also cast [Slipstream] onto himself to make sure that he would not be caught by Anzi's hands again.

Raising his claws to the air, Emery looked at the man and said, "I'm sorry for having to do this.. But you left me with no choice."

[Void Mist]

Multiple figures disappeared dashed together and one appeared behind Anzi, whereupon he quickly thrust his claws into the latter's back.

Splatt!

The claws penetrated through the tree-like skin, but it wasn't enough to severely injure the Inhuman as it only inflicted a moderate wound. However, this was enough as he was still able to slowly devour the man's power through the direct link established by his claws.

Swissshh!!

In response to Emery's actions, Anzi swiftly used the hand-to-hand battle art he employed to simultaneously take out Emery's [Void Mist]. The attack came even more rapidly, and after a few misses, it successfully landed on Emery's face.

BAAMMM!!

The blow was so strong that Emery could clearly hear the sharp sound of his jaw breaking from the impact. A sharp pain immediately assaulted his face, while the momentum forced him to be blown away.

However, he definitely wouldn't let the man off the hook that easily.

Howwllll–

Emery once again charged forward. Teaming up with his replicas, he attacked Anzi from multiple directions, inflicting multiple wounds on the latter while slowly draining his power. But of course, he wasn't unscathed as Anzi was able to counter some of it.

Blood splattered on the floor of the warehouse, dying it crimson and black; it became a silent witness to their brutal fight.

The fight between the two of them continued for several minutes, during which hundreds of attacks were exchanged. Emery managed to spill his opponent's spirit force from each of his attacks, hence he was quite sure that his opponent's spirit pool would soon be depleted. This fight became much similar to when he fought the Naga.

But on the other hand, he himself wasn't in such good shape either. His body was battered, despite the fact that his [Undecaying Flesh] had worked tirelessly to repair his broken bones and injured parts several times.

HOOWWWLLLLL!!

The more brutal the fight became, the more Emery's primal urge surfaced, gradually causing him to lose all restraint and run wild as the fight went on.

Hundreds more strikes were exchanged between the two, and before long his opponent's tree-like dark skin started to shrink and his movement gradually stiffen. It appears Emery's victory was guaranteed.

Emery relentlessly fought, and finally was able to see an opportunity, an opening that might win him the duel, he swiftly used his claw battle art [Rake Strike].

In the heat of his bloodthirsty urge, Emery subconsciously aimed his claws at his opponent's vitals and pulled all his strength to strike right at his opponent's heart.

Splllaatt

Three sharp claws pierced Anzi's heart. The force crushed it apart, instantly making the man drop to his knees, head slump weakly as his life sign dissipated.

Anzi the inhuman died.

A look of horror appeared on Emery's face as he looked at the body stuck in his claws.

"No!! No! No!."

In that instant, Emery awoke from his bloodthirsty state and quickly used [Nature Blessing] to try to heal the man. However, much to his surprise with the spell, he realized that the man inside was nothing short of human, his heart crushed and there was definitely no life sign, but…

Shockingly, the body still moved, and before Emery could do anything, the Inhuman grabbed his neck with both hands and gripped it tightly.

"ARrrggghhH!!"

Seeing the look of confusion and disbelief on Emery's face, Anzi whispered, answering the question he knew was in his opponent's head.

"You cannot kill me… I... cannot die " A ferocious look appeared on the man's face, the first time since their encounter.

Emery felt as if his neck was about to be crushed apart.

Unwilling to give up, Emey used his last bit of strength to his arm, and his sharp claws stroked the inhuman head, piercing it from both sides and forcing him to release his grasp.

Emery kicks the bleeding man to get some distance and wonders if this time the inhuman has finally died.

He didn't…
