Chapter 354: Chapter 195: The Immortal Hide (Part 3)
At the same time, the Future Technique was constantly predicting Aertemi’s possible locations.
The predictions were accurate.
Every time Aertemi appeared, she was met with a bombardment of all of Lu Cang’s Magic.
But she easily defended against the minor, harassing spells.
Only the few War Spears that had Sacrificed hundreds of billions of souls...
...could inflict truly devastating blows upon her.
After being predicted a few times, Aertemi stopped teleporting. Instead, she resolved the crises by directly stripping away the attacks.
He was currently inside the Dark Forbidden Hall.
This was the place with the most numerous and powerful Restrictions.
Even Aertemi would need some time to peel away all the Restrictions.
And during that time...
BOOM!
The Soul Light erupted ceaselessly!
Explosion after explosion!
Caught in the blast, swarms of misty ants that had appeared out of nowhere also perished.
While attacking, Lu Cang was also constantly replenishing his souls...
But from within the Soul Light, Aertemi’s faint voice could be heard.
"How much longer are you going to keep this up?"
"Don’t you get it yet?"
WHOOSH—
Aertemi’s figure emerged from the soul explosion, completely unscathed once more.
Her body was still snow-white, her waist slender and her figure curvaceous.
"These mundane attacks have no Effect on me."
"Even this mortal skin I wear."
"It is absolutely not something a mere mortal like you can defile or destroy!"
She had arrived before the Dark Forbidden Hall, which stood precariously suspended in mid-air.
By now, everything in Sel City had been annihilated.
The only things not destroyed by the Power of the Soul Burst...
...were the few Churches that Lu Cang had deliberately avoided, controlling the destructive Range.
These Churches were well-prepared.
Even with their foundations destroyed, their sanctuaries remained suspended high in the sky.
As if symbolizing a power that could never fall.
"Oh..."
’Maybe it really is useless.’
’Her body is constantly regenerating, just like my Ten Thousand Battles Absolute Body.’
’Endlessly regenerating.’
’At this rate, under normal circumstances, no matter how many more times I attack, I won’t be able to kill her.’
She had already arrived before him, her hand touching the Restriction of the Dark Forbidden Hall.
Layer after layer, the Restriction was being deciphered and broken!
"I really want to peel off your skin and see what you’re made of."
BANG!
Amidst the raging Soul Light...
...she stripped away and broke the Dark Church’s Restriction!
Her hand reached for Lu Cang once again!
WHOOSH—
However, a faint breeze stirred.
She froze in place.
’Who... was I about to skin?’
’Forgotten again...’
Her mind went blank for a moment.
By the time she came to her senses, sixteen War Spears had already pierced her body.
’Eh?’
’Why?’
’I remember now... He has an Authority related to forgetting?’
BOOM!
The sixteen War Spears that pierced her body exploded in an instant!
At that very moment, Lu Cang appeared inside the Ice Church’s Forbidden Hall.
Aertemi’s body was annihilated, but it fully regenerated once again after the destruction.
Her tone was laced with excitement. "You really do bring me one surprise after another."
"Just how many secrets do you have?"
’Waking up so many Submerged Land Level Demons.’
’Reacting to my attacks that came without any warning.’
’Controlling Ruijia’s Restriction.’
’Treating Restrictions as if they were nothing, even turning the Restrictions of these Churches into tools for his own use.’
’Surviving my touch, with a Rebirth Speed that actually surpasses the Skin Stripping Speed of my Shedding Skin Injury.’
’And...’
’...these pure, incredibly sublime souls.’
’Plus this bizarre Root Magic.’
’And on top of that, he even possesses an Authority related to forgetting. That should be the Authority of the January Moon.’
’Why would it appear in the hands of an ordinary human?’
’This is, truly, a wonderful surprise.’
’No, even a Level 7 Reincarnator would likely perish under his terrifying methods.’
Meanwhile, Lu Cang watched her with a grave expression.
’This is the last Forbidden Hall.’
’I never thought these off-limits Forbidden Halls would actually become my personal safe houses.’
’It’s a strange twist of fate.’
Lu Cang watched her body again, seeing it coalesce and reappear after being completely annihilated.
What was capable of completely annihilating her body...
...wasn’t the rolling aftershock of the Soul Burst.
It was the War Spear that struck her body when its power was fully condensed into a single point of "Extreme."
Lu Cang saw her approaching, a bewitching Light swirling in her eyes.
She spoke, "This hide is immortal."
"As long as Aertemi does not die, the hide will not be destroyed. As long as the hide is not destroyed, I will not be destroyed."
At this point, it was impossible to tell if it was Tais, the person within the skin, speaking, or if it was Aertemi’s skin itself.
"Immortal..."
"That’s truly... terrifying."
Lu Cang looked at her Date of Death.
"Date of Death: 55 years, 9 months, 11 days."
’It doesn’t exactly look completely immortal.’
’This Date of Death is indeed drawing closer, step by step.’
’The only regret is that it’s approaching too slowly. Who knows when this health bar will finally hit zero.’
The aftershocks of the Soul Burst were, in fact, constantly advancing her Date of Death.
But the aftershocks were ultimately not as fast as a few direct hits.
CRASH!
"Fear is the correct response."
Aertemi arrived before the Ice Forbidden Hall with extreme ease once again.
This time, she had learned her lesson.
She no longer tried to dodge again and again, but directly withstood the assault of eight War Spears!
With a flick of her hand, she neutralized the incoming War Spears!
Before the War Spears, imbued with Extreme Ice, could even touch her body, they were stripped away into faint flecks of ice!
The reason Lu Cang used Ice Spears...
...was because he had considered this factor.
Compared to the wooden Void Spirit Star Ring Battle Spear, the Ice Spears had no discernible surface, which might make them less susceptible to her Authority.
On the other hand, he was also worried that if he attacked with the Void Spirit Star Ring Battle Spear and she blocked it...
...his own War Spear would be destroyed.
SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH—
The Ice Spears dissolved!
That bitch stripped away the Restriction again, the entire process taking a mere three seconds.
But at the very instant she peeled open the Restriction...
WHOOSH~
...Lu Cang disappeared once more.
And Aertemi, once again, fell into a momentary daze.
When she came to her senses...
...she abruptly discovered her body was once again riddled with War Spears...
She fell for it every time.
But, it seemed there was no way to avoid it.
Because the Authority itself was forgetting.
It made Aertemi forget what she needed to be wary of after she was hit.
Once...
BOOM!
He utterly annihilated her yet again.
Lu Cang stood amidst the raging aftershocks of the Soul Light; his own Magic wouldn’t harm him.
At this moment, the Forbidden Halls of the three Churches had been completely destroyed.
Lu Cang no longer had a safe haven.
He could only stand in the open sky, facing the newly coalesced and reborn Aertemi.
