Chapter 361 Chapter359-Ethan & Luther vs Herman
Ethan, gasping for air, fixed his gaze on the Golden Giant Hand.
Herman's body began to tremble slightly, his breathing growing heavier, as if he was about to awaken from his slumber.
Without giving Ethan much time to react, the Golden Giant Hand once again lunged towards Luther.
Ethan channeled his Golden Divine Dragon Blood.
His Dragonblade emitted a dragon's roar, the dragon bone on the blade releasing a powerful dragon aura.
The Dragonblade clashed against the Golden Giant Hand.
A tug-of-war-like struggle ensued between them.
Ethan's face turned red, his eyes wide open, shining as bright as daylight.
"Die..."
Compared to the Blasphemous Spear, Ethan found the Dragonblade more natural to wield.
Moreover, the Dragonblade resonated with the Dragon's Lair within Ethan's body.
Although he couldn't fully utilize the divine artifact power of the Dragonblade, Ethan could harness a third of its power.
A dragon phantom appeared on the Dragonblade, coiling around it and then fiercely biting at the Golden Giant Hand.
Their collision caused a massive surge of energy, billowing Ethan's robe.
This tremendous energy should have shredded the cabin to splinters, but due to the presence of the Magic Circle, such an effect was unachievable.
Ripples spread across the Magic Circle from the energy wave.
Herman's eyelids trembled more rapidly, like a deceased person straining to open their eyes.
Ethan was now losing control over his power.
But if he didn't manage his strength, Luther's Blood Sacrifice would be interrupted.
Ethan growled lowly, his Dragonblade conjuring thousands of dragon phantoms, filling the cabin with the sound of dragon roars.
The dragon aura almost seemed to lift the cabin off its foundation.
The Golden Giant Hand, sensing danger, attempted to avoid confrontation with Ethan.
But it was too late. Ethan leaped up fiercely, bringing his blade down on the Golden Giant Hand.
The Golden Giant Hand collapsed instantly, dissolving into specks of light that vanished into the air.
With it gone, a greater problem arose.
Herman stood up from the ground, his eyes flickering with blue light:
"Ethan, you're quite bold."
His emotions were eerily calm, as if he had anticipated Ethan and Luther's move.
"Luther dares to act against me because he has something to rely on. What about you?"
As Herman spoke, a blue glow emanated from his hand, striking down towards Ethan.
Ethan resisted with his Dragonblade, but Herman's words intrigued him.
Luther had previously acted against Herman, and Herman was aware of it.
But Herman didn't retaliate against Luther because Luther had something protecting him.
What could that be?
Ethan's eyes flickered as a thought struck him.
.cοm
He remembered the night when Luther removed his shirt, revealing the spider tattoo on his back.
Could the reliance Herman mentioned be the spider tattoo?
Herman's eyes sparkled with a hint of surprise:
"You can withstand my Heavy Water Strike, your strength is indeed remarkable."
He didn't lessen his force out of admiration for Ethan. Instead, his hand glowed even more intensely, pressing Ethan down to one knee on the ground.
"Bang!"
The immense force exceeded the cabin's endurance limit. The wooden floor shattered, sending splinters flying everywhere.
Ethan raised his Dragonblade, but then suddenly, the Blasphemous Spear appeared in his hand, striking unexpectedly at Herman's underarm.
Herman was startled, not expecting Ethan to retaliate while enduring such immense pressure.
He clamped his arms together, attempting to trap the spear.
The Power of Rules flowed along the Blasphemous Spear, activating the Unerring Rule.
Instantly, the Blasphemous Spear pierced Herman's underarm.
Herman's eyebrows twitched as he let out a pained grunt, channeling his internal power to prevent the spear from penetrating deeper.
Ethan made no further moves but instead twisted the spear.
The [Bloodthirst] effect naturally activated.
[Bloodthirst: When killing a monster, it can convert the monster into energy for storage and absorption.]
Now the spear's effect wasn't limited to monsters; it could absorb energy from any being.
Feeling his power draining, Herman quickly dodged away.
He healed the wound under his arm with a strong burst of blue energy, eyeing Ethan curiously:
"Two divine artifacts? You really are lucky."
Ethan didn't flaunt his Grip of the Underworld but thought to himself:
"If you knew I had three divine artifacts, wouldn't you be scared to death?"
Herman narrowed his eyes, looking towards Luther beside Ethan.
The red and blue figures had been entangled in combat for a long time.
They seemed to exchange hundreds of blows in a second, fighting hundreds of rounds without a clear victor.
However, with Luther's support for the red figure, the blue figure's light began to dim.
The enchantment on the Heart of Fragmentation seemed likely to be broken.
Herman suddenly leaped up, flinging a wave of blue energy from his hand.
Confronted with this attack, Ethan felt as if he were facing a colossal wave rising from the ocean, tumultuous and overwhelming.
Ethan quickly swung the spear, channeling all his power to counter the blue energy wave.
However, Herman's target wasn't Ethan; instead, he swooped towards Luther.
His hand formed a claw, swooping down on Luther like a vulture.
Ethan's eyes blazed with fury as he bellowed:
"Your opponent is me!"
Ethan forcefully broke through the blue energy sphere, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and charged towards Herman.
Herman, sensing the sharp spear behind him, felt a slight tremor in his heart.
Although he could interrupt Luther, the spear could also pierce his body.
While Luther's severe injury was certain, his own life was at risk too.
In that moment, Herman decided to turn around, his hands gathering blue energy to form a gigantic, bizarre bird.
The bird let out a shriek and lunged at Ethan.
Ethan unleashed a blade aura from his Dragonblade, which didn't harm the strange bird but instead enraged it.
The bird, flapping its wings, dove at Ethan.
By now, Herman realized that if he didn't deal with Ethan, he couldn't stop Luther's actions.
Blue energy pulsed in his hands, reminiscent of a dark magus concocting a potion.
Various bizarre birds and even a blue saber-toothed tiger with a gaping maw emerged from the blue energy, all attacking Ethan.
Ethan was instantly plunged into a fierce battle.
"Hmph," Herman stood with his hands behind his back, coldly snorting, "Young man, you still have much to learn."
Leaving these words behind, Herman slowly walked towards Luther.
Ethan had never encountered such a bizarre mode of combat before.
With a roar to the heavens, the blood in his body began to boil.
His entire body was shrouded in Golden Divine Dragon Blood.
He disregarded the multitude of animals and, in a do-or-die attitude, charged directly at Herman with his spear.
Herman hadn't expected Ethan to be so resolute.
His left shoulder blade was pierced through, but the animals he had summoned also brutally attacked Ethan.
Both Herman and Ethan were grievously injured. Herman spat out blood and coldly said:
"What kind of bewitchment has Luther used on you, that you would risk your life against me?"
Ethan's mind was blank, and blood gushed from his mouth like a fountain.
He was in a dire state, with blood flowing from his ears and nose.
The animals had even torn through his scales, leaving him drenched in blood, a complete bloodied figure.
"None of your business..." Ethan managed to say weakly.
Herman, amidst Ethan's horrified gaze, pulled himself off the spear:
"Do you think you can kill me like this? I am immortal..."
He turned to look at the critically injured Ethan, bursting into a deranged laugh.
His graying hair danced wildly behind his head, and Herman seemed almost possessed.
Blue energy swirled around him, and the wound on his shoulder blade, where he had been pierced by the spear, was visibly healing at an incredible speed...
Ethan thought his Golden Divine Dragon Blood's recovery rate was already monstrous.
But witnessing Herman's might, he realized how limited his own understanding was.
In no time, Herman had fully recovered from his grievous injuries.
He gathered a ball of blue-white energy in his hands.
"I didn't want to use the power of deity," Herman's face revealed a sense of loss.
He wasn't in the deity realm yet, and the power of deity diminished with each use, "but since you're courting death, I can't be blamed, can I?"
Ethan fiercely turned towards Luther, opening his blood-filled mouth to shout:
"If you don't awaken the Heart of Fragmentation now, I'll die right in front of you."
Luther seemed to hear Ethan's call.
The red matchstick figure in front of him fought more vigorously, tearing and devouring the blue matchstick figure, then swiftly burrowed into the Heart of Fragmentation.
The Heart of Fragmentation suddenly burst into dazzling light, all of it sword aura.
The sword aura, incandescent, enveloped everyone present.
"Domain [Incandescent Heart], Herman, savor it well."
Luther leaped up from the ground with an air of nonchalance, a fierce smile on his face.
Domain?
Ethan, feeling the environment filled with sword aura in the [Incandescent Heart], opened his mouth wide in astonishment.
