Dual Worlds: I Have a Doomsday World

Chapter 331: Chapter 232: Arranged Battle: Lin Qi vs. King Arthur (Part 2)

’Finally, there’s all this blood. There’s more and more of it, far exceeding what a single human body contains. It’s clearly trying to force its way into my nose and mouth, to invade my body.’

King Arthur’s extensive combat experience allowed her to quickly deduce a wealth of information.

Although she couldn’t determine what Lin Qi’s Ability was, she had a general idea of how he used it.

While King Arthur was deep in thought, Lin Qi was not idle.

He manipulated the blood flowing from the deformed individual’s wounds, sending it to cover King Arthur’s mouth and nose.

Lin Qi had no intention of letting the blood enter King Arthur’s body; once inside, he would lose control over it.

All Lin Qi wanted was to make breathing difficult for King Arthur, or even smear the blood over her eyes.

Beyond that, he continued to rapidly repair the deformed individual, using its presence as a distraction.

That’s right. The deformed individual’s only purpose was to be a distraction.

In a normal battle, given the deformed individual’s freakishly high survivability, no one would guess it was a decoy or a clone-type Ability.

A typical opponent would only assume this was a Wizard who had maxed out his defense and survival stats.

And they would subconsciously believe that such an Ability must have its limits.

The Ability the deformed individual had just displayed was no different from "instant revival."

Any normal person would consider switching tactics to continue the fight.

During this process, Lin Qi could continue to activate other abilities, searching for an opening to deal effective damage.

Although King Arthur knew the body before her was a decoy, she couldn’t be sure how these abilities were being activated.

’Perhaps these abilities are being controlled by the decoy itself!’

Suddenly, King Arthur gagged.

It turned out that she had accidentally inhaled some blood mixed with strands of hair while breathing.

’No, wait. Once this stuff enters my body, he loses control over it!’

’That makes sense. If he could control it inside my body, I’d have died eight hundred times over by now, even as a Tier Four Knight.’

King Arthur gained a deeper understanding of Lin Qi’s methods.

She quickly formulated a counter-strategy in her mind.

Spiritual Power!

In a battle between Tier Four Extraordinary Professionals, the amplification from Spiritual Power was the primary method of combat.

Even for a Low Tier Knight, a significant portion of their techniques originated from the Spiritual Domain.

Within his Spiritual Vision, Lin Qi immediately "saw" a different picture.

A peculiar pattern slowly manifested around King Arthur.

The pattern formed a shape that resembled a brand.

’Is that the Knight’s Spirit Badge?’

This was the first time Lin Qi had seen a Tier Four Knight in action.

The moment the badge appeared, Lin Qi’s various abilities were immediately and significantly affected.

Although Spiritual Power Extraction was still active, its efficiency dropped drastically, reduced to about half its previous speed.

Next were abilities like Blood Manipulation and Rapid Growth.

These abilities completely lost their effect within three meters of King Arthur.

It was as if the barrier that protected only King Arthur herself had expanded outward significantly.

’She’s getting serious!’

Lin Qi could tell that King Arthur hadn’t been using her full strength up to this point.

She hadn’t even drawn upon the power of her Prosthetic Body.

’Is the fight over already?’

Lin Qi pondered for a moment and decided to try one more thing.

After clearing the three-meter space around her, King Arthur stared at the deformed individual.

Only to see the deformed individual suddenly undergo an even greater transformation.

The deformed individual seemed to have transformed into a massive spring, with vast quantities of blood gushing from its body.

Lin Qi had activated Rapid Growth at full power. He wasn’t just using the Spiritual Power extracted from King Arthur;

he began pouring in large amounts of his own Spiritual Power as well.

A monster seemingly made of blood appeared before King Arthur.

Mixed within the blood were various strange human tissues, such as bone fragments.

King Arthur raised an eyebrow. ’Is the Wizard about to use his ultimate?’

To be honest, even just the various techniques Lin Qi had shown so far had already given King Arthur a massive headache.

After all, King Arthur hadn’t even seen the real person yet.

She had been forced to use Tier Four methods just to face a decoy!

And even then, she hadn’t been able to destroy it.

Although the Wizard hadn’t been able to inflict any substantial damage on her either, King Arthur was already thinking of ending this confrontation.

Powerlessness.

A deep sense of powerlessness.

In other words, King Arthur was full of power but didn’t know where to direct it.

’I was right about him. The Wizard is truly powerful.’

But now, seeing that the Wizard seemed ready to unleash even more techniques, she felt a flicker of curiosity to see what he would do.

Adopting a defensive stance, King Arthur watched the blood monster before her.

The blood monster suddenly split off a portion of its mass, which began to circle King Arthur at a five-meter radius, forming a curtain of blood that obscured her vision.

At the same time, the massive amount of blood surrounding the deformed individual began to swirl into a vortex.

The vortex spun faster and faster; this was Momentum Manipulation at work.

Lin Qi continuously stacked momentum, increasing the rotational speed until his Blood Manipulation Ability reached its limit, no longer able to sustain the spinning force.

Finally, a torrent of blood locked onto King Arthur’s position. It surged toward her, carrying with it bone fragments, excessively long strands of hair, and even debris from the underground pipes.

King Arthur was just wondering about the purpose of the blood curtain.

’Is the Wizard trying to suffocate me? But this space is way too big for that.’

Suddenly, King Arthur heard a strange noise.

She immediately chose to use her Prosthetic Body’s sensors to see through the blood curtain.

"What the...!"

The torrent of blood, carrying immense momentum, was rushing right at her.

King Arthur’s scalp tingled with dread.

’If I get covered in that stuff, how bad is it going to smell?’

’I definitely won’t get hurt, but one fight with this Wizard could leave me feeling disgusted for half the day!’

And so, King Arthur chose to...

"Wizard, let’s end our fight for today here. I concede!"

"I’ll send you the test feedback you wanted later!"

Turn and run!

King Arthur burst straight through the barrier formed by the blood curtain, retreating in the opposite direction of the torrent.

Furthermore, relying on her familiarity with the underground pipe system, she quickly rounded several corners to avoid being touched by the flood.

Seeing King Arthur’s actions, Lin Qi was rather surprised.

’She just ran?’

’I clearly couldn’t do a single thing to her.’

’No, that’s not quite right.’

’The Spiritual Power Absorption has been working this whole time.’

’Even though I can’t defeat King Arthur, she can’t find my real body either.’

’She’ll just be continuously tied down.’

’If this dragged on for another dozen hours or so...’

’I might actually be able to drain her completely dry.’

Seeing this, Lin Qi stopped using the deformed individual to harass her.

King Arthur had already fled beyond the range of his Spiritual Vision.

A distance of one thousand meters—this was one of Lin Qi’s weaknesses. He had no effective way to pursue her.

He deactivated his various abilities and stopped controlling the tons of blood. Using Momentum Manipulation, he weakened the torrent’s force and then let the blood flow freely into the sewer.

Finally, there was the matter of dealing with the deformed individual.

The deformed individual suddenly twisted its neck and lost its life.

The deformed individual originated from his Splitting Ability and Decomposition Mimicry Ability. Lin Qi needed to sever his connection with it before Decomposition Mimicry wore off.

Otherwise, once Decomposition Mimicry failed, the Splitting Ability would lose control over the deformed individual.

At that point, the deformed individual would become a monster with only base instincts, unable to be controlled by Lin Qi and possessing no self-awareness.

Lin Qi remained in the Prosthetic Clinic for a long time, carefully inspecting and maintaining the equipment on his body, not leaving until evening.
