Chapter 380

The next second.

Instantly, a pitch-black circular hole appeared beneath them; Luo En and the unsuspecting Dragon Roll tumbled straight into it, then the opening sealed shut.

A beam of energy shot from Boros's palm, carving a straight blue line through the air.

Swish!

A figure clad in a yellow Superman suit, draped in a white cape, suddenly appeared before the blue beam.

"Normal Punch."

He threw a punch.

It directly shattered the energy beam.

The fierce punchwind stirred Boros's long hair behind his head.

It stared at the suddenly appeared bald man, its eyes filled with shock.

"Who… are you?"

"I'm Kage. Just a hero out of interest."

The bald demon king with a monotonous design stared at Boros with lifeless, bored fish eyes.

…………

Inside Luo En's Infinite City.

Blue sky, white clouds, ocean.

Dragon Roll sat slumped on a beach of a small island, staring at the waves crashing against the shore, her face utterly bewildered.

"This… is?"

"A pocket dimension I control. You're the first guest to ever come here."

Luo En's weak voice reached her ears.

"Pocket dimension?"

Dragon Roll was utterly stunned, "Just who are you? How do you have such power…?"

Dragon Roll turned her head to look.

Luo En's blood-soaked clothes shattered from his tremor.

And so.

She saw, for the first time in her life, a scene like this.

Her eyes widened, pupils contracted, her face flushed crimson in an instant.

"W-what are you doing?!"

She quickly turned her back, both embarrassed and furious.

"It's obvious, isn't it? Repairing my body."

"Then why are you completely, completely, completely naked?!"

"These clothes are soaked in blood and stuck to my wounds—it's unbearable. Plus, leaving them on would hinder my body's repair."

Luo En's expression was perfectly normal.

"Besides, you shouldn't be shy seeing me in this miserable state, right?"

"Huh? Shy? Who, who's shy?! I just hate it—don't get the wrong idea!"

Dragon Roll shouted in flustered rage, ready to unleash her power and hurl Luo En into the ocean at any moment.

"Yes, yes, yes."

Luo En closed his eyes and began practicing his breathing technique, fully activating the vast vitality within his Immortal Body to repair himself.

"How are you going to repair your body? Let me be clear—I've already repaid my debt to you. After this, I'm done."

Dragon Roll, facing away from Luo En, crossed her arms.

No response.

Dragon Roll stole a glance backward and saw Luo En, eyes closed as if asleep, emitting a hazy green glow of vitality; his grotesque, horrifying wounds were healing at an extremely slow pace.

"Such immense vitality… is this even a human body?"

Dragon Roll couldn't help but marvel inwardly.

Then she glanced aside—and her face flushed red again.

So this is what a man's body looks like…

I've never seen this before…

31, dead?

Inside Luo En's Infinite City.

Time slipped by.

Two hours had passed.

The petite Dragon Roll sat on the sand, knees hugged to her chest, facing the ocean; the sea breeze gently stirred her green curls. It should have been a serene, peaceful scene—but…

Now, her cute little face was dark with irritation and anger.

"Damn it! How do I get out of here?!"

In these two hours, she'd tried countless methods—none worked to escape.

She was now deeply anxious.

That purple creature was extremely dangerous—likely the mastermind behind the alien mothership. Even if all the Hero Association's heroes joined forces, they'd stand little chance against it.

And right now, when fighters are desperately needed, the Hero Association's top weapon—me—is trapped here…

"Can't you at least send me out before you go to sleep?"

Dragon Roll stood up, furious, and turned to glare at Luo En lying on the sand.

"Come on, you could heal yourself—why did you bring me in too?! Or do you think I'd be taken out by an attack like that?! Hmph! Don't make me laugh—I'm the strongest superhuman, the number two S-class hero. I was just holding back before; if I went all out, that guy—just that guy—wouldn't be my match!"

"If you understand, get up right now and get me out of here. Without me, the Association's bunch can't do a damn thing…"

"Hey, can you hear me…?"

…

Luo En lay on the ground, his body shattered and motionless.

A faint blue glow emanated from his entire body; flesh buds slowly grew within his wounds.

Luo En heard Kurotsuki's voice clearly, but he couldn't afford to divert his attention now.

His current condition was far from good.

The energy contained in Boros's "Crushing Star Roar Cannon" was devastatingly destructive; the residual energy lingering in Luo En's flesh and blood clung like a parasitic worm, emitting destructive energy radiation that incessantly shattered his cells and extinguished the vitality within him.

Even the life force of a Immortal Body couldn't fully repair him in a short time; according to Luo En's estimate, if he focused entirely on his breathing technique to mend his body, it would take roughly ten days to restore completely.

Too much time.

Boros was truly Boros—even if not a god-level disaster, he was quasi-god-level, tied to the word "god."

But Luo En's current strength was still lacking.

"Is there anything I can use…?"

Luo En's consciousness swept through the system space—and he actually found three items that might help him.

One remaining Immortal Bean.

Perfect Vampire Transformation Serum.

And a single drop of true blood from Nodens, the King of Bronze and Fire from the 【Dragon Clan】 world, which, when ingested, would turn a person into a bloodline-rich hybrid.

Becoming a hybrid would undoubtedly elevate one's life tier above ordinary humans, but for Luo En, who possessed an Immortal Body, its effect remained uncertain.

If it merely enhanced physical healing to some degree, it would be of little use to Luo En right now.

The Immortal Bean was said to fully restore stamina, regenerate severed limbs, and heal wounds—but could not eliminate viruses within the body.

Luo En felt the destructive energy lingering inside him was no different from a virus.

The effect probably wouldn't be good either.

Luo En's gaze finally settled on the vial containing a golden-red liquid flowing within.

Perfect Vampire Transformation Serum.

A reward obtained by Luo En through check-in in the Demon Slayer world; using it would transform a person into a being immune to sunlight, not requiring human flesh, capable of infinite resurrection so long as a single cell remained.

The only cost: abandoning humanity, becoming an immortal, indestructible, mysterious non-human entity.

Luo En's consciousness gazed at the floating Perfect Vampire Transformation Serum, hesitated for a moment, then sighed inwardly.

"Fine, I'll give it up."
