Chapter 1924: Chapter 1917: Showing Off in the Boss’s Strongest Domain
Wall Island Monkeys Scattering, Vic knew very well what this phrase meant, but he never expected these people to flee so quickly. He wasn’t even dead yet, and they had already assumed that he was doomed to lose?
At this moment, Vic indeed appeared extremely miserable. His breath was weak, blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and he looked utterly on the verge of collapse, like a bow that had already reached its limit.
"Mr. Vic, we once had the chance to become good business partners, but you seem to have not cherished this opportunity. If you had honestly helped me manage Illusion City, what’s the harm in giving you more shares?" Zhang Menglong shook his head regretfully, "But you insisted on courting death, wanting to take over my Illusion City and even scheme against me. Fortunately, I had prepared against you."
Ose stood in front of Vic, "Let’s settle our grievances today!"
For Ose, Vic’s current resistance was nothing more than a dying struggle. He hadn’t even used his full strength yet. He wanted Vic to feel despair, then gradually break his spirit, making him experience the pain he once endured.
"Do you really think you’ve already won?" At this moment, Vic’s expression twisted, "Do you really think a City Lord of Fortress City has no trump cards?"
Vic took out a glass-like transparent orb and stuffed it into his mouth. "This is my years of savings, condensed with a massive amount of Phantom Profound Beast energy into an Illusory God Pill. Before its energy depletes, my strength can increase more than tenfold!"
Most people would use the energy of the Phantom Profound Beast to permanently enhance their strength, but for Vic, these resources were almost inexhaustible. So he had been exploring new uses, and this was an effect he discovered by chance.
When large quantities of level nine Crystal Cores are refined and condensed, consuming them rapidly burns within the body, causing a short-term surge in power.
Of course, this wasn’t without cost. After consuming it, the erosion of his soul would worsen, and even a Soul Shard Suppressor wouldn’t fully control it. Therefore, this was something that could only be used in desperate circumstances!
Now was Vic’s desperate situation. He had no other choice today; if he didn’t use this last trump card, he would undoubtedly die at Ose’s hands. He couldn’t afford to think about the severe after-effects this battle would bring.
The tenfold power increase made Vic’s aura completely suppress Ose, but his eyes visibly turned a strange crimson, making him seem like a beast with intelligence.
"Sigh, why do this? Taking drugs is bad for you!" Zhang Menglong shook his head, "This must damage your soul, right? Even if you win in the end, the cost is very serious."
"Don’t you have something to cure soul corrosion?" Vic sneered, "When I kill you, everything on you will be mine. Then I can use that to heal my soul wounds! I will crush both of your bones, Ose, this time I will give you no chance at all!"
Vic punched towards Ose, and the latter grunted as expected. Vic’s power had indeed increased more than tenfold. This punch was merely a warm-up, but it already made Ose struggle, even feeling as if the bones in his arm were cracking.
"Gu Xiao, this guy’s gone insane!" Ose’s pressure surged, even if his soul injuries were entirely healed now, he wouldn’t be a match for Vic.
"Even if you’re stronger now, what could you do against my tenfold enhancement?" Vic wasn’t in a hurry because the energy of that Illusory God Pill was enough to sustain him fighting at this intensity continuously for a long time.
Vic stepped towards them bit by bit, wanting to repay the desperation he just endured twice as much!
"Damn! Taking drugs, that’s against the rules!"
"He’s cheating! Clan Leader, let’s take drugs too!"
"Idiot, don’t you know our boss is an Alchemist? Showing off this kind of trick in front of an Alchemist, it’s like teaching a fish to swim!"
Seeing this scene, Wu Yang and the others weren’t panicked; they laughed even harder. They feared nothing more than a drug-taking contest. Zhang Menglong had taught them plenty of alchemy techniques. Even with just a bit of learning, they could already refine pills that enhanced strength by two or three times.
As for Zhang Menglong, creating something that bursts into power over a short time was as easy as pie. No matter if it had severe side effects or fewer, they had heard of dozens of types!
"Ose, should we take drugs too?" Zhang Menglong tossed him several bottles, "These elixirs have no permanent after-effects, at most making you weak and tired for a few days post-use, not affecting your foundation. Different elixirs can also be layered for use!"
"Great stuff!" Ose trusted Zhang Menglong’s words completely. After all, his Soul Dividing Pill was already very miraculous. Without hesitation, he swallowed all the elixirs Zhang Menglong tossed over, a total of 7, the weakest one enhancing his strength twofold, the strongest twelvefold!
These seven elixirs’ effects wouldn’t conflict with each other, meaning that consuming them all granted him all the enhancements?
With 7 elixirs down, Ose instantly felt an unprecedented power surge through his body, at least an terrifying strength more than 20 times his base power!
Simultaneously, he felt his stamina and energy depleting rapidly, as this enhancement used his own strength.
"Two more!" Zhang Menglong tossed over more elixirs, "Hang on, let me check what else we can use!"
Those two elixirs were for rapid stamina recovery, allowing Ose to sustain this combat state for a long time, avoiding to be a five-seconds real man.
"And this, it can boost your body strength by about five times in a short duration!"
"This one can add fire effects to your attacks!"
"Try this one too, it gives strong corrosive properties to your energy!"
Zhang Menglong dumped the elixirs over to Ose, almost all the battle-assisting elixirs he had ever refined in his life.
If Ose were a game character, his status panel would likely be massively boosted, even off the charts with overlapping buffs.
He even felt he could slap Vic with one mighty swipe, and just the multitude of buffs would be enough to exhaust him to death.
This brutal scene was something Wu Yang and others couldn’t bear to watch.
And the tremendous change in Ose’s aura left Vic’s face ashen, the gap between them becoming larger.
"Sigh, you had to mess with our boss!"
"Indeed, pretending to be cool is one thing, but doing it in our boss’s most skilled domain, isn’t that courting death?"
