Chapter 352: Chapter 195: Immortal Hide
It wasn’t a piercing attack!
Instead, it was a... Law that transcended any form of attack!
’I can’t let her touch me!’
’Death Replacement Technique!’
The thought flashed through Lu Cang’s mind.
He instantly swapped places with a corpse falling through the air!
SWOOSH!
This was followed by several more consecutive swaps!
Lu Cang immediately landed back on the ground, back in Sel City.
The woman looked down, her eyes drooping slightly.
"How... boring."
Lu Cang landed, and his Shield reformed around him.
Almost instantly, a bewitching fragrance drifted gently from behind Lu Cang.
Lu Cang tried to swap again!
But he was shocked to feel the flesh begin to peel off the corpses throughout the entire city.
And these flesh-stripped corpses could no longer be used!
A voice came from behind him.
"Little brother~"
"Have you ever heard of... Divine Authority?"
His Final Sense instantly erupted with an unimaginable warning!
’Source·Shift·the Dipper!’
A slender, jade-like hand reached out, but it grasped at empty air.
After shifting his position, Lu Cang immediately spun around.
He saw the corpse behind him stand up. The body, which had been nothing but a skeleton, was instantly filled out with flesh and blood.
Smooth, radiant skin grew over it, followed by a slender waist and snow-white breasts.
An alluring female body appeared before Lu Cang’s eyes.
Lu Cang felt his Shield begin to peel away, layer by layer.
Peeling away along with it...
...were the surrounding houses. The walls collapsed outward, taking every piece of furniture with them...
Wooden tables curled into shavings.
Petals peeled from pistils, and the stems of the flowers shed their outer layers.
Such a sight was completely beyond the realm of ordinary understanding.
This phenomenon had completely transcended ordinary techniques and Magic!
The only thing that could explain this phenomenon...
...was Root Magic.
"You... must be Aertemi."
Lu Cang didn’t try to flee again immediately. From the looks of it, running around blindly...
...would only intensify her desire to attack.
’Instead of running, I should try to say something.’
’Stall for time.’
At the same time, Lu Cang’s mind raced, trying to figure out what strategy to use next...
...to deal with this enemy whose concepts were entirely unknown.
Lu Cang stared directly at her Date of Death.
Date of Death: 104 years, 9 months, and 7 days.
After staring for three seconds, it had decreased by 15 days.
’She isn’t a true, fully-formed god.’
’Based on this rate of acceleration for her Date of Death, she’s a Level 6 Reincarnator.’
For a Level 5 Reincarnator, just looking at them would advance their Date of Death by one month per second.
For Level 6, it was five days.
For Level 7, it was one day.
This was the pattern Lu Cang had deduced so far.
A Level 6 Reincarnator with 50 years left to live would die naturally after being stared at by Lu Cang for just 50 minutes.
If it were a pure battle...
...staring at a target for 50 minutes was indeed too long.
However, in direct combat, inflicting damage on an enemy... could also advance their Date of Death.
She cupped her face lightly, a morbid flush coloring her cheeks.
"I am, but not entirely."
She simply placed a finger gently to her lips.
And Lu Cang once again felt an extremely strong warning from his Final Sense!
’Azure Sky Stream—Fourth Form: Forgetfulness Void!’
TAP—
It was almost like a teleport.
Aertemi appeared where Lu Cang had been, her hand outstretched. She should have touched him.
But at that moment, a sense of daze washed over Aertemi.
’I...’
’Who was I just about to attack?’
’Did I forget?’
But soon, all her memories came flooding back like a tide.
"Interesting~"
’He can actually affect me, make me forget.’
Aertemi’s gaze swept across the area.
Within her mind, she had already sensed the location of every hide in the entire city.
But just as she was about to pluck out the hide representing Lu Cang...
...she felt a tremor!
RUMBLE—
The entire National Defense Array of the Ruijia Kingdom had actually begun to activate!
A seven-colored aurora erupted across the dome of the sky!
An extremely powerful pressure descended from the heavens and the earth.
Restricted Barrier—National Guardian.
BOOM!
In an instant, Aertemi felt a weight comparable to a mountain pressing down on her!
Under this immense pressure...
...her body remained upright, but she frowned.
’Ruijia’s National Defense Array should be under my control.’
’Why?’
SWOOSH!
However, before the doubt in Aertemi’s mind could be answered...
...in the next second...
...beams of light shot up from one Church after another!
The Restrictions of the Churches had been triggered as well!
Aertemi’s gaze turned toward the Light Church.
She saw Lu Cang’s hide located right inside the Forbidden Hall of the Light Church.
’He walked into the Restriction?’
"You just keep surprising this big sister~"
"Perhaps you’re actually more valuable than Kumironi."
Aertemi took a step forward!
Countless Restrictions erupted with power.
Beams of Light fell from the sky!
Darkness swirled, covering the entire land and simultaneously converging on Aertemi!
A biting chill raged!
The temperature of the entire city plummeted.
Yet Aertemi simply walked forward!
The Light bombarding her parted ways.
The darkness, upon reaching her side, split left and right, moving away from her.
The plunging temperature, the raging icy wind...
...seemed to have no effect on Aertemi whatsoever.
The hundreds of types of Magic Lu Cang had unleashed with a single thought...
...were like a barrier surrounding Aertemi; any Magic that came close was peeled away layer by layer, annihilated into nothingness.
Aertemi took another light, airy step forward.
And a new hide was born from the void, gradually filling with flesh and blood.
