Chapter 194: Prey (3k)

【You have been eroded by God's Hand Roland, Erosion Level: High】

【You have used the item Holy Pendant, currently dispelling erosion...】

【Dispelling failed, ability priority is insufficient to dispel this erosion】

"Damn it, damn it, damn it... Isn't this the Pirate World? How could there be something like God's Hand here!"

Black Death stood on a glider emitting green light, suddenly rushing out from a charred tumor; he tried the items he had in reserve one by one, only to find that he could not dispel the erosion state on his body at all.

The priority of this erosion ability had actually reached High; he could only endure the itching of his skin, watching a hideous face appear on the back of his hand.

He had a feeling that the face was his own; it should have been this hideous and arrogant appearance when he released those viruses in various mission worlds to seize High-level Singularities.

Black Death glided through the air, attempting to find the location of Flame Demon, but unexpectedly saw Moon Demon swinging a blade out from a tumor; at this moment, Moon Demon was unrecognizable, his body abnormally proliferated, his size elongated to over three meters, his limbs slender, his arms covered in dense scales, while his head was a giant face of fear split open from the middle, revealing the hideous true form of Moon Demon.

The only thing that allowed Black Death to confirm the other's identity was that Black Blade 【Night】, which was famous even within the Infinite Space.

This guy, Moon Demon has fallen?!

Black Death clearly saw the hollow in Moon Demon's chest, where granulation tissue was constantly growing, but no heart appeared.

Black Death's mind stirred, he stomped hard under his feet, and two micro-missiles beneath the glider immediately detached, flying toward the guy suspected to be Moon Demon.

The two missiles dragged trails of fire and flew out in an instant; the monster standing amidst the human faces below suddenly turned its head, and that split face faced Black Death directly.

Black Death was shocked, and the next moment, the monster over three meters tall gripped the blade with both hands and suddenly slashed upward.

Ring!

The Black Blade vibrated violently, and a clear, thin-as-a-cicada-wing blade light lit up in an instant.

Boom boom!

The missiles exploded in mid-air; before the smoke had dissipated, Black Death had already gained altitude, preparing to flee. Regardless of whether this monster was Moon Demon himself, the fact that it possessed that level of swordsmanship meant this monster was extremely dangerous.

Ring!

The sword energy rang again; Black Death looked back and only saw countless shells falling from the sky. The monster was not slashing at him, but at the countless falling black shells in the air.

It's the Navy!

Sizzle!

Thunder exploded again; Black Death dared not linger, and the thrusters beneath the Green Goblin Glider instantly operated at full power.

"Don't... leave!"

Pfft!

A faint sound of breaking air arrived; the glider under his feet was suddenly entangled by a powerful suction force. Black Death looked back and saw a giant bird monster, pitch black all over, appearing at the bay.

It was looking at him with malice, speaking in human language.

He wanted to activate the glider, but he couldn't leave at all. A clear Tachi appeared in Black Death's hand, and he slashed downward with force.

Sure enough, a transparent silk thread was severed.

The glider returned to normal, but the air behind him seemed to shatter; a strong wind arrived. Black Death felt a tremor in his heart, and the moment he looked back, he only saw a giant Werewolf jumping into the air, its legs sweeping through the void.

【Tempest Kick】!

Two giant slashes spanning a hundred meters instantly knocked Black Death down from the sky.

The amulet on his body shattered completely.

The moment Black Death landed, he wanted to flee, but he heard a voice appear in his ears.

"Don't move!"

Black Death looked back and found Flame Demon, whose hair was somewhat charred, revealing only half a face from within a tumor.

Black Death immediately stopped his footsteps; the next moment, that giant Werewolf and the giant bird suspected to be Doflamingo collided directly.

The two giant monsters, over a hundred meters in size, began to fight crazily.

As for the monster transformed from Moon Demon, it just gripped its sword with both hands, tilting its head, seemingly looking for some movement.

Flame Demon's body was covered in dense Dragon Scales; he was a Reincarnator whose Constitution exceeded the Extreme Value and who had obtained the Dragon Race bloodline, possessing extremely high resistance to anomalies.

At this moment, there was only some itching at his wounds.

"Black Death, go find the Cursed Spirit that Silver Light planted on this island; we need an opportunity to end this damn mission."

Flame Demon was also somewhat fearful at this moment; this mission world had clearly been ravaged by previous Reincarnators until it was in a sorry state. For Flame Demon, who usually liked to destroy mission worlds on a large scale, he had not expected the Pirate World to be turned into such a state.

God's Hand Roland...

He had indeed heard the name Roland; it was the Title-level Reincarnator 【Hope Morning Star·Roland】 from the top-tier Gathering 【Blue Sky】 in the space, one of the foremost Reincarnators in the third Ladder.

He was one of the highest-ranked among the known Special Reincarnators.

But in the end, he was confirmed to have fallen a month ago; 【Blue Sky】 suffered heavy losses, that crazy leader was furious, and many Fierce Persons were purged during that time.

Returning from the dead... can a Special Reincarnator achieve this level...

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, but the Black Death before him clearly dared not take any more risks.

Flame Demon lowered his eyelids and said coldly,

"Fool, don't you understand yet..."

Flames burned on his body, and the pitch-black tumors fell off. At this time, the giant bird and the giant Werewolf above were already tearing at each other fiercely, no longer paying attention to this side. The monster transformed from Moon Demon still maintained a listening posture, hands on the sword, ready to strike.

This stance made Flame Demon feel that Moon Demon had not died; that guy still maintained a shred of reason above his bottom line.

At the very least, Moon Demon still knew who the biggest threat here was at this moment...

Black Death followed Flame Demon's gaze and happened to see that thousand-meter-tall giant hand of human faces shattering inch by inch, revealing that pink robe which was damaged in many places.

"Tao Baibai?!"

Black Death could never have dreamed that the one who finally appeared in this situation would be this newcomer who was being hunted by Moon Demon?

Flame Demon had repeatedly emphasized that the newly promoted Fierce Person, Tao Baibai, was a newcomer Reincarnator whose number of missions could be counted on one hand.

How could such a guy...

"Hahahahaha"

A terrifying laugh erupted from Tao Baibai's mouth. Black Death saw that Tao Baibai's current state was extremely bizarre; his eyes were glazed white, and that twisted red face seemed to have split in two—half gentle, half ruthless—with purple-black Waves constantly slithering across that body.

Besides this, there were also streaks of pitch-black Kage constantly slithering across the surface of Tao Baibai's body.

This guy, what on earth is going on?

Flame Demon also did not know what had happened to Tao Baibai, but at this moment, he could clearly feel the terrifying presence radiating from the other party.

That was a certain sense of oppression that one could naturally perceive once power reached a certain realm; as long as the other party stood in the arena, it was clear at a glance who was the superior creature.

Flame Demon touched the Dragon Scale on his own neck; this stinging sensation made him increasingly alert.

Step.

Tao Baibai suddenly moved. He took a step forward, and Flame Demon instantly underwent a partial Dragon Transformation, with huge dragon wings growing from his back and his hands completely covered in dragon scales.

Meanwhile, the Monster that Moon Demon had become was even more extreme; the moment Tao Baibai took a step, its figure bent, and it crouched on the ground in a standard iaido draw-sword stance.

Its split face locked onto Tao Baibai's direction.

At this moment, Black Death finally perceived Tao Baibai's abnormal sense of oppression from the reactions of Flame Demon and Moon Demon. He felt his heart grow heavy for no reason, his scalp stung with pain, and a certain cold sense of crisis completely enveloped him.

He felt as if he were standing in front of a prehistoric dinosaur, his whole body trembling, not daring to move, as if he would be devoured in the next second.

He could only watch as Tao Baibai lifted his left foot again and slowly let it fall through the air.

At the same time, he was certain that he saw a silver-white airflow where the air was sliced open from the blade of Black Blade Night; it was a silver line extending from the blade.

Step.

Ring!!

The moment the Footwork landed lightly and slowly, the over-three-meter-tall Monster Moon Demon suddenly drew its sword.

The silver line split the entire Heaven and Earth in an instant.

Pfft...

A barely audible tearing sound rang out. The next second, the entire human-faced ground tore apart in an instant. Amidst the spraying blood, Flame Demon's pupils constricted; that Tao Baibai was actually standing in place, without any movement.

Didn't react in time?

No!

He saw that straight silver line suddenly break, as if it had stopped right in front of Tao Baibai.

At this very moment, a black shadow crawled onto the face of the twisted-looking Tao Baibai.

"Ha~"

"Haha!"

It was still that same wild laughter, but this time, there was an Arrogance of the Honored One in the laughter.

"Wonderful, this body is truly wonderful. Even without the Six Eyes, the feeling of being able to unleash Cursed Energy without limit is too pleasurable, ha~"

Bai Cangshu raised both hands, one finger pointing to Heaven and one finger pointing to the Earth, and pitch-black Cursed Energy surged out from his body.

"This is... Limitless?"

Black Death muttered to himself.

Bang!

The next moment, the space before his eyes went Empty; the human faces on the ground exploded into blood plasma out of thin air, and Tao Baibai's figure completely vanished. He subconsciously turned his head quickly, only to see Moon Demon, who had instantly retracted its sword to defend, being struck in the spine from behind by a punch, with a pitch-black flash piercing through its body.

The Monster that Moon Demon had become let out a miserable cry and was sent flying by the terrifying power. Tao Baibai stomped his foot, vanished into thin air again, caught up to the Moon Demon that had been sent flying, and clenched his left arm into a fist; pitch-black lightning instantly exploded from the air.

Chirp!

As this pitch-black lightning erupted, Tao Baibai's twisted face changed again.

Boom!

With one punch thrown, before it even struck Moon Demon's body, the air had already completely twisted, and lava-like firelight exploded across the distance, like a red lotus blooming.

Moon Demon crashed into the ground with a boom.

Step.

The sound of Footwork rang out again. Black Death was already instinctively terrified. He subconsciously looked around, only to find that Tao Baibai had not performed High-speed Movement.

Instead, he was swaying his body and walking toward him and Flame Demon.

The high temperature and flames on Flame Demon were very obvious in this scene.

Roar!

At this time, a roar came; the giant werewolf had been crushed by the giant bird and came flying over with its skin torn and flesh mangled. Tao Baibai suddenly raised both hands, caught the hundred-meter werewolf, and twisted his waist.

Boom!

The hundred-meter werewolf Monster was thrown directly toward the direction where Black Death and Flame Demon were.

Black Death could feel that Tao Baibai seemed to have changed into another person again, and his combat style had changed once more.

He no longer had the heart to think about what was wrong with Tao Baibai, and left behind one sentence.

"Flame Demon, I'm going to find that Cursed Spirit."

He then quickly took out the Green Goblin Glider he had previously stored in his Backpack.

Boom!

Full-power propulsion started. He had no intention of finding any Cursed Spirit; letting Flame Demon hold the line so he could escape was the real plan.

Flame Demon cursed the idiot in his heart, but before he could speak, he felt a gale whistling past him.

Black Death felt the air being pushed away, but he himself remained in place without changing.

He turned his head in horror, only to see Tao Baibai, whose sleeves were torn to reveal his tough arms, standing behind him. The other party used only his left hand to pinch the Green Goblin Glider in his grip.

"Before I've had my fill of fun, you aren't allowed to run~"

Crack, the Green Goblin Glider began to show cracks, and in the next second, it exploded.

A flash of light appeared in Black Death's hand again, and a Scroll appeared, but a great force struck his cervical spine at this moment.

Crack!

The Black Death's mind went Empty, and when he came to his senses, he only saw Tao Baibai's hands vanish, with countless fists appearing like raindrops.

Pfft, pfft, pfft... Bang!

The masked Black Death exploded out of thin air into a pile of minced meat.

Bai Cangshu looked at the pitch-black Death Intent Senra on his fists, still feeling dissatisfied; he wanted a more exhilarating slaughter...

The next moment, in his sea of consciousness, another intense dragging force pulled Bai Cangshu down; over thirty-three thousand vengeful spirits were currently in Bai Cangshu's sea of consciousness, attempting to win a resurrection match.

Bai Cangshu, bathed in blood, took another step toward the Flame Demon.

Crack!

A bolt of thunder descended, and Enel appeared before Bai Cangshu.
