--- Chapter 164 ---
Hong Guan stared at Dullahan emotionlessly.
She clenched her hand, and green smoke came from the pressure of her grip, causing a vicious purple-green flame to burn all over her forearm.
[Abyssal Storm Dragon's Tactic - 2nd Layer: Abyssal Storm Claw]
Dullahan watched a massive claw appear out of nowhere and pounced at him.
He grimaced, "You will regret your decision locking me here."
Dullahan created another portal and sent a massive sword tip at the incoming claw. To headless Death Knight's surprise, the claw phased through his attack and landed on his body.
'This...''How did she become so strong all of a sudden?'
BAM!
Dullahan was sent flying to a nearby mountain and crashed heavily.
If Dullahan had a head, he would have coughed a mouthful of blood right now.
"Poison?" He felt something invading his body. Hong Guan's purple-green flame didn't just burn but also corroded his body.
Dullahan tried to erase this purple-green flame with his darkness, but his action was like pouring more fuel into it. The flame becomes much bigger and more aggressive!
After all, the main component of Hong Guan's flame is [Yin Aspect], which is the concept of darkness itself. Dullahan was 'actually' molded by the darkness of Yu Long's past self, so he's frustrated by his current situation.
It's like the very one subject you are good at school is 'suddenly' surpassed by others.
However, Hong Guan didn't let Dullahan have a chance to breathe.
[Abyssal Storm Dragon's Tactic - 3rd Layer: Black Flash]
A moment later, an intense thunderclap echoed in the area, followed by a bolt of black lightning.
BOOM!
"Not good-!" Dullahan couldn't even his words before getting pulverized by Hong Guan's black lightning.
The headless Death Knight felt his whole being fried. His Essence Sphere cracked under the pressure of Hong Guan's attack.
[Abyssal Storm Dragon's Tactic - 4th Layer: Black Flash Burial!]
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
One lightning struck after another, Hong Guan mercilessly flattened the Heavenly Sword Mountain Range and injured Dullahan to the extreme point.
However, Dullahan was like a cockroach.
He might be dying, but something prevented him from giving up.
Hong Guan breathed in with an exhausted expression and watched a blue flame flicker inside a crater.
The blue flame is none other than Dullahan's Essence Core, which burned brightly. Blood, bones, and flesh appeared and formed a new Dullahan.
Dullahan groaned, "ARGH!"
He has to pay a 'huge' price when reviving himself.
He has used 90% of his Essence Sphere's vitality.
Losing 90% of Essence Sphere's vitality is a fate worse than death for a Kaiju because they couldn't recover it unless the [Kaiju Maker] provided the said vitality to them.
Only the best out of the best Kaiju possessed a skill that can revitalize their own lost vitality. Unfortunately, Dullahan wasn't part of them.
However, by expending 90% of his vitality, Dullahan's strength increased rapidly. Three or four times stronger than before. It also fueled his anger to eliminate Hong Guan at all costs.
"You must die today..." A new, more menacing armor appeared on top of Dullahan's body.
He flashed before Hong Guan and attacked her before she could react.
BAM!
Hong Guan coughed a mouthful of blood and felt a heavy blow on her chest.
If she hadn't experienced her Desperado's Awakening, which bonded [Yin Dragon's Bloodline] and [Gale Dragon's Bloodline] to her whole being, her body would become a donut upon receiving that attack.
Dullahan attacked Hong Guan like no tomorrow, pushing her to the edge of the Profound Sky Continent. Their fierce clash has created a deep and long ravine from the Heavenly Sword Mountain Range to the eastern seashore.
Gods know how many lives they had taken.
The raging Dullahan doesn't care about human life.
His Knight Code has gotten tarnished multiple times, so he wants nothing more than to kill Hong Guan.
"Weak!"
"Weak!"
"Weak!"
"I, Dullahan, cursed myself for getting looked down on by a woman like you!"
"That's why I will kill you, right here, right now, to fix my image!"
Dullahan opened fifty dark portals, each bringing out a massive sword or spear. He kicked Hong Guan's stomach and sent her flying to the ocean, allowing the dark weapons to chase after her.
Hong Guan landed on the sea with her foot and had never felt such a feeling of death before. Her green eyes bleed even more because the sight of fifty gigantic swords and spears is overwhelming.
She wiped blood from her lips and mumbled, "Not enough firepower."
"My flame and lightning aren't destructive enough..."
"No, my flame and lightning are still two different forces."
"The only way to increase my firepower is by combining my Dragon's Bloodlines into one." Hong Guan's sharp mind calculated every move she could make now.
When the gigantic swords and spears were a few meters away from her, Hong Guan made her decision.
"Guan'er, when you're becoming Profound Practitioner one day. Please wield a spear because you're a genius at it." A familiar and distant voice echoed in Hong Guan's subconscious.
"If so, maybe I can introduce you to Young Master Yu Long later, hahaha~!"
"Sorry, Older Brother..." Hong Guan gritted her teeth. "I can't wield a spear like you said."
Anything related to the spear made Hong Guan's mind spin into rage. It is because the faction that killed her brother is none other than the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress.
Although years have passed, Hong Guan stayed away from spearplay and insisted on using her hand or leg. Even her Profound Arts revolved around those limbs.
But today is different.
Hong Guan felt she was free.
[Abyssal Storm Dragon's Tactic - Sixth Layer: Monochrome Universe]
The world came to a stop, becoming black and white. Hong Guan blinked and saw every water droplet near her. She only had one chance to make this work and possibly kill Dullahan.
With that in mind, Hong Guan grasped two balls of essence inside her body and forced them to merge into one. One is murky dark, and the other is stormy blue.
When the two balls merge, a beautiful dark blue orb 'naturally' comes into existence.
Hong Guan felt her entire body boiling, changing her to a fundamental level.
[Abyssal Storm Dragon's Tactic - Seventh Layer: Tainted Drop]
A new force crawled from Hong Guan's skin.
It was this weird dark-colored liquid with a hint of neon purple, squirming like a living being.
Hong Guan manipulated the liquid and commanded it to spread infinitely to swallow Dullahan's attack. "Devour..." She whispered with an exhausted look.
SWOOOOSH!
A giant black net appeared from the small blob, trapping everything before Hong Guan's sight.
"Form." Hong Guan clenched her hand and turned the liquid into a four-meter-long spear with a barbed blade.
Her energy level and physical prowess are at their lowest because of forcible fusion, so Hong Guan didn't have much choice but to execute the most basic profound art.
[Art of Spear - Power Throw]
Hong Guan's muscle fibers ripped apart as she clenched the liquid spear and threw it with all her might.
SWOOSH!
Like a bolt of lightning, the dark liquid spear traveled toward Dullahan.
Dullahan wanted to dodge, but the dark liquid altered the darkness element in the area and literally bent space & time.
BAM!
The spear perfectly struck Dullahan's armor, piercing it with one swift movement.
A gaping, bloody hole appeared on Dullahan's chest.
Unfortunately, Hong Guan missed Dullahan's core.
As soon as the bloody hole reformed and left a spotless skin, Dullahan moved and choked Hong Guan's neck.
"Any last words?" Dullahan asked indifferently.
Hong Guan smiled, "I have no regrets."
"But you will regret your decision in 0.3 seconds."
Dullahan snorted coldly, "Such a mouthful of trickery won't work on me, woman!"
"Is that so?" A voice appeared out of nowhere.
Dullahan couldn't recognize this voice, so he turned around and saw a handsome youth in a jet-black winter coat with wild black hair and gleaming golden eyes.
His appearance might be unfamiliar, but those gleaming golden eyes and this sheer pressure from this youth made Dullahan's knees wobble like jelly.
"K-K-Kaiju Maker..." Dullahan uttered in pure fear.
