Dual Worlds: I Have a Doomsday World

Chapter 330: Chapter 232: The Arranged Duel: Lin Qi vs. King Arthur (Part 2)

The malformed individual faced King Arthur. In every attribute, the two were on completely different levels.

This malformed individual of Lin Qi’s was merely based on an ordinary person and possessed virtually no combat strength.

With the malformed individual’s strength, even if King Arthur stood perfectly still and let it hack away with a knife, it was doubtful it could inflict any injury.

But...

King Arthur stared intently at the "Wizard" across from her, her brow furrowing.

Her intuition told her she didn’t even need to use any of her abilities as a Knight Professional. ’A single punch could probably make this body explode!’

’Since the Wizard asked me to attack, he must be confident, right?’

After only two seconds of thought, King Arthur chose to trust him.

Braving the debuff from the ’Spiritual Power Extraction’ Ability, she attacked without hesitation. Moving at a Tier Four’s speed, she closed the distance to Lin Qi’s malformed individual in the blink of an eye.

Under the effects of his Spiritual Vision, Lin Qi could clearly perceive King Arthur’s speed.

But the malformed individual’s body was too weak to even have a chance to dodge.

Its nervous system was that of an ordinary person; in that fraction of a second, it only had time to blink.

SQUELCH!

King Arthur’s prosthetic metal arm instantly pierced through the malformed individual.

King Arthur froze.

’That’s not right, is it?’

’Wasn’t the Wizard supposed to be confident?’

’I punched right through it. How could it possibly survive?’

"Wizard, you..."

Just as King Arthur was about to ask,

the malformed individual suddenly spoke. "Don’t get distracted."

The next second, a torrent of blood gushed from the malformed individual’s body.

Blood Manipulation, Rapid Growth!

The two Abilities activated.

With the Rapid Growth Ability, as long as there were living cells for Lin Qi to control, he could make them differentiate at will.

Unless King Arthur could annihilate every single cell in its body in an instant, there was no way to stop Lin Qi from activating his abilities further.

King Arthur’s expression changed at the sight. She immediately placed her other hand on the malformed individual’s shoulder, trying to pull her prosthetic arm free.

Only then did King Arthur realize with a shock that this ’fake body’ of the Wizard’s was no normal human.

The clothes on its surface were composed entirely of human hair.

Vast quantities of hair clung to it. As King Arthur pulled, she ripped out masses of hair strands rooted deep within the flesh, unleashing a spray of crimson blood.

King Arthur drew a sharp breath, a mixture of strange smells filling her lungs.

’No wonder its voice sounded so unnatural. The throat, the vocal cords... they must be full of hair roots.’

The sight caused King Arthur a mild sense of physical revulsion.

In all her years as a Mercenary, this was the first time King Arthur had ever clashed with such a repulsive opponent.

King Arthur wanted to break free from the malformed individual’s grasp.

But would Lin Qi let her get her wish?

The body’s Life Force was rapidly fading from the wound King Arthur inflicted, but its cells were dying very slowly.

Empowered by Rapid Growth, endless new flesh and blood proliferated.

Restoring an ordinary human body required far less energy than restoring the body of an Extraordinary Professional.

And thanks to ’Spiritual Power Absorption,’ King Arthur was shouldering the entire cost.

Aside from the mental effort of controlling it, Lin Qi himself expended almost no energy.

The malformed individual stretched out its arms, embracing King Arthur.

Like a lover’s embrace—a vow to be together in life and death, never to part.

At the same time, a large volume of blood surged toward King Arthur’s face.

King Arthur knew she was in trouble.

’As expected of a Wizard. These tactics are straight out of the Underworld!’

Unleashing her Tier Four physical strength, King Arthur grabbed the malformed individual’s head and casually twisted it clean off.

She threw it far away!

In an open space, that amount of force would have sent it flying over a thousand meters.

But the scene King Arthur imagined never materialized.

The moment the head left her hand, it suddenly seemed to lose all kinetic energy.

Instead of flying away, it fell straight down into the sewer with a SPLASH.

However, King Arthur’s efforts were not entirely in vain.

The headless body of the malformed individual, now disconnected from its nervous system, instantly went limp.

This gave King Arthur the chance to break free from its grasp.

But the body was only uncontrolled for a moment. To King Arthur’s astonishment, the headless form quickly grew a new head.

The nervous system reconnected, and Lin Qi quickly regained control over the body.

With ’Rapid Growth,’ as long as the body wasn’t completely destroyed in an instant, it could regenerate from even a single living cell.

It didn’t even need a full body; as long as the brain and nervous system were more or less intact, Lin Qi could control it.

If Lin Qi hadn’t been holding back, the brain wouldn’t even have needed to grow back on its head.

’What is this thing?’

King Arthur had just managed to create some distance.

But her body was still covered in a large amount of its blood.

The blood clung to her skin, creeping toward her face.

If King Arthur’s prosthetic weren’t so advanced, the blood might have even seeped into the seams and damaged the internal components.

In that split second, despite her shock at Lin Qi’s methods, King Arthur rapidly processed the initial information.

’First, my Spiritual Power is still draining. It’s not fast, but what I have left is all I’ve got. It’s like I’ve lost the ability to recover it.’

’Then there’s this fake body. It’s completely different from anything I’ve ever seen or even heard of. Its regenerative ability is insane, but the weakness is obvious. It’s just an ordinary body with no real combat power on its own.’
