Chapter 587
With a distance of only ten meters, the "Armor of Arrogance" ran to the front of "Ultraman" Lato Giaro in two big strides and slashed down with a giant sword condensed from light.
Lato Giaro originally had the opportunity to use the "Navigator" ability to escape through several secret channels hidden in the void and dimensions, avoid this blow, and increase the distance from the attacker, but when he saw that silver-white full-body armor, he never expected that the opponent would actively attack him, while Lu Mian Lee had not yet worn it!
This made him a whole beat slow, and by the time the silver-white full-body armor crashed over like a steam train, it was a bit too late for him to turn into the secret "tunnel"—in that case, it was very likely that he would be slashed by the enemy's sword while his upper body had just entered and his lower body was still hanging outside, breaking him in half.
Facing that situation, he was not an earthworm, and his body did not have strong self-healing ability, so he would surely die.
Looking at the silver-white full-body armor that almost filled his vision, and looking at the raised giant sword of light, scales condensed from starlight appeared on most parts of Lato Giaro's body.
The air around him vibrated as a result, like an invisible tide roaring.
According to the intelligence collected by the "April Fools," without obtaining the authority of the "Viceroy of the Sea," the power gifted by the "Sea" corresponded to Sequence 5 at the highest, called "Tide Scholar," which was Lato Giaro's current state.
Surrounded by the invisible tide, Lato Giaro swung his fist, which was like a ten-meter-high wave crashing down heavily.
Thud!
His heavy punch hit the side of the giant sword of light, knocking it askew.
But almost at the same time, Lu Mian's figure was outlined behind him again, his left hand already raised.
Sure enough! I knew you would take this opportunity to "Teleport" behind me and sneak attack me! Lato Giaro was prepared, and while leaning back to avoid the second sword of the silver-white full-body armor, he once again dyed the surroundings with warm gold.
"Purification Halo"!
Watching those layers of gold rushing toward his face, Lu Mian, who was waiting there, twisted his left wrist slightly inward.
And before this, the silver-white "Lies" ear clip he wore on his left earlobe had already lit up with a faint light, allowing him to see different light clusters and different colors on "Ultraman," among which, the gold shrinking into a sphere was spreading warm brilliance outward.
This represented the ability of "Purification Halo" itself.
With the twist of his wrist, the golden sphere detached from "Ultraman's" body and flew onto him.
"Steal"!
Lu Mian "stole" "Ultraman's" "Purification Halo"!
He didn't know how many times the "Ring of the Sea Queen" could use "Steal" after completing the normal process, but he was sure that the "Steal" effect of "Lies" could last for half a month and would not disappear because he had just "stolen" the power of the sea.
And after "Lies" mutated on the altar of "Paying Respect to Ancestors" in Milo Village, Lu Mian had tested many times how to use that kind of "Stealing" power, so as not to not know how to operate it at a critical moment, so when he "stole" and dispersed the power of the sea earlier, he was relatively proficient.
At the same time, as one of his targets, the Beyonder abilities of the "Sun" pathway possessed by "Ultraman" had long been exposed by the information provided by the "Tarot Club," and Lu Mian clearly knew what to "steal" this time and had enough occult knowledge to support it.
The only problem was that he hadn't really "stolen" the ability of a "Priest of Light" before, and he was worried that he wouldn't be able to find the symbols corresponding to abilities like "Purification Halo" and "Manufacturing Holy Water" in a short time, and would be caught by Lato Giaro and attacked, falling into a dangerous situation instead.
After the "Armor of Arrogance" took on the responsibility of a frontal assault, Lu Mian deliberately "Teleported" to four or five meters behind Lato Giaro, tricking him into using the "Purification Halo."
There would obviously be a certain difference between the ability being used and the ability not being used, enough for him to distinguish it instantly!
Therefore, before Lu Mian "Teleported," he activated the "Lies" ear clip and raised his left hand, striving not to stay in the danger zone for even one more second.
The "Purification Halo" that had already spread out naturally would not disappear because the ability itself was "stolen," and they continued to surge, submerging Lu Mian.
But they did not truly touch the target, because there was a majestic and vast invisible force pushing outward around Lu Mian, stagnating and blocking them from approaching.
The power of the sea!
You have the power of the sea, and I also have the power of the sea!
—In the previous "Stealing," Lu Mian had left a portion of the sea's power for himself, although it was obviously inferior to "Ultraman," it was enough to repel the "Purification Halo" for a second or two.
Then, he calmly activated the black mark on his right shoulder, disappeared from this place covered in warm gold, and "Teleported" to the corner furthest from Lato Giaro.
The "Purification Halo" followed closely, but it had reached its limit and showed obvious exhaustion.
Lu Mian reacted extremely quickly, used the power of the sea again, and watched the warm gold that spread to this side quickly diminish outside the invisible "barrier."
On the other side, Lato Giaro's heart skipped a beat.
He intuitively sensed that his "Purification Halo" ability was gone, suspected to have been "stolen"!
Could Lu Mian Lee's item with the "Steal" effect still be used? Lato Giaro didn't have time to think too much, fell backward to the ground, rolled to avoid the heavy slash of the "Armor of Arrogance," faced the sky, raised his right hand, and gripped his palm in the void.
Pure and intense sunlight quickly condensed there, turned into a thick ray, and instantly landed on the chest of the silver-white full-body armor.
It paused slightly for a second, failed to penetrate, and only burned out a black mark that was dented inward and shaky.
Seeing this scene, and thinking of the enemy Lu Mian Lee, "Ultraman" Lato Giaro felt the intention to escape and planned not to entangle anymore, wanting to find a way to break out of here.
Just at this moment, the "Armor of Arrogance" did not make a continuous attack, turned its body sideways, and turned toward Lu Mian.
Lu Mian, who had used the "Spirit World Shuttle" ability many times on the colorful ceremonial ship and in this hall, and had also encountered the influence of a "Purification Halo," had his spirituality nearly exhausted and looked both tired and weak.
And such a human appearing around the "Armor of Arrogance" would be killed indiscriminately.
This... Lato Giaro keenly sensed the change in the situation.
Although he didn't know what was going on, he felt it was a good thing.
He suddenly turned over and stood up, casting his gaze at Lu Mian.
The next second, he saw the "Armor of Arrogance" raise that giant sword of light and run over.
Haha, your sealed item has betrayed you! Lato Giaro mocked in his heart while approaching, intending to use the attack of that silver-white full-body armor to produce "Sun Holy Water" and sprinkle it on Lu Mian Lee.
Lu Mian walked forward with a blank expression.
He relied on the power and spirituality that had been accumulated in his body for a long time by the "Ascetic" ability, which all erupted, filling his exhausted and tired spirit, making his body suddenly grow larger, seven or eight centimeters taller, and two whole sizes stronger, stretching that loose vice-deacon robe until it was about to tear.
The running "Armor of Arrogance" stopped its steps.
It suddenly turned around and looked at Lato Giaro who was following.
Lato Giaro's eyes suddenly narrowed, his body instantly became heavy, and he stopped naturally.
Almost at the same time, he saw the Lu Mian Lee who had become abnormally tall.
This enemy "Teleported" directly in front of him, less than a meter away from him, and they could even see themselves in each other's eyes.
Amidst the sound of "Woo," Lu Mian shattered the airflow and swung his right hand wearing the "Torture" gloves.
Because Lato Giaro becoming "heavy" would naturally produce suction on the surroundings, which was a downgraded version of the "Heavy" trait of the humanoid sealed item, Lu Mian's punch was not repelled, but instead accelerated toward the target.
Lato Giaro was not afraid of his close-range attack, only worried about that ability that resembled "Mental Piercing." In a situation where it was too late to dodge and use other abilities, he let the sound of surging tides ring out in the surroundings without any psychological barriers, and returned a punch that carried the rush of thousands of tons of seawater.
Bang!
Lato Giaro blocked Lu Mian's attack, and immediately rolled to the side along with that force to escape the surprise attack of the "Armor of Arrogance."
Just at this moment, a strong feeling of greed suddenly surged in his heart, and he forgot the plan he had just thought of to leave here first.
Lu Mian also retreated along the trend and pulled a bone flute with a black background and red holes from the "Traveler's Bag."
"Movement of Hatred"!
Taking advantage of Lato Giaro dodging and resisting the "Armor of Arrogance," Lu Mian brought this flute to his mouth and blew a sharp and intense melody.
Lato Giaro's mind exploded with a bang, and his whole person stood stiffly on the spot.
From the gaps in the starlight scales on his body surface, bright blood seeped out.
Emotion detonation!
Pfft! The "Armor of Arrogance" slashed on Lato Giaro's shoulder, splitting those scales, breaking the bones, and cutting into the flesh.
With two steps, Lu Mian ran to the front of Lato Giaro, who was about to fall and had a painful face, and raised the black bone flute in his hand.
Lato Giaro had just struggled a little from the detonated emotions with the help of the pain brought by the sword of the "Armor of Arrogance," when he saw Lu Mian Lee holding a bone flute and stabbing at himself with a ferocious expression.
Pfft!
That bone flute stabbed into Lato Giaro's left eye, sinking in like cutting butter.
This core member of the "April Fools" had his eyeball explode immediately, and blood and other liquids flowed out along the gaps of the black bone flute.
Even if the "Movement of Hatred" only stabbed a normal part, it was equivalent to attacking a vital point, and if it hit a real vital point, the enemy would either be killed in one blow or die socially for a period of time. Now, Lato Giaro's left eye and brain undoubtedly belonged to his vital points.
His other eye suddenly widened, bulged out, and his whole life breath flowed away quickly, falling softly.
Lu Mian grabbed the neck of this "Ultraman," lifted him up, and let go of his right hand holding the black bone flute, slapped his face heavily, and growled in Intis with a ferocious expression:
"Did you go to Cordu Village to confirm the situation?"
