Chapter 1494: Chapter 385: Earth Crisis Across Eras_2
At this moment, he raised his head, and a hundred meters away on a mirror surface, the energy-formed phantom appeared.
It was a slender and elongated figure, entirely presented in a dark blue translucent state; after a perception scan, he found the body was woven from pure shadow energy.
There were no distinct facial features, and in its hands, each held a uniquely designed weapon.
The weapons were also composed of highly concentrated energy, with constantly fluctuating forms.
At times they condensed into short swords, other times they bounced like twisted lightning, with changing blade edges radiating black sharpness.
Life Throat activated decomposition scan.
Suddenly, the target’s relevant information surfaced in his mind.
[Nightmare Thorn (Void Light Clan)]:
Hunting Level: Level 152
Target introduction: A reaper from the Void Light Clan, this clan masters the Light and Shadow Dual Birth Rule, walking in the gaps between light and shadow, proficient in twisting environments to conceal their form, assassinating targets. "Nightmare Thorn" is a top elite among them, wielding "Void Light Dual Blades" that can easily tear through space stability and ignore conventional flesh defenses. Its hunting record includes powerful creatures far beyond its strength, viewing hunting as art, enjoying seeing targets collapse in confusion and disarray.
...
Seeing the opponent’s hunting level, Life Throat immediately felt the difficulty.
This was still an assassin-type unit, not easy to handle.
When the hovering competition token disappeared.
The next instant, a pitch-black, unilluminated short blade, capable of absorbing all light, silently reached Life Throat’s temple.
No sound of wind, no energy fluctuations, not even killing intent, only the ultimate cold breath of death.
Life Throat’s pupils suddenly contracted.
Opponent’s speed was so fast it exceeded the limits of visual capture.
Without any hesitation, he decisively activated the Extreme Speed Characteristic.
The blade tip was about to touch the skin at the previous instant.
His head slightly tilted with the speed of a fraction of a hair’s breadth.
Swish!
The pitch-black short blade nearly grazed past his skin, stirring a slight breeze that tossed a few strands of silver hair on his forehead.
A crushing coldness slapped his cheeks, leaving a blood mark.
One missed strike, Nightmare Thorn did not linger in battle, retreated instantly, disappearing among flickering movements.
Life Throat snorted coldly; his right foot lightly stomped the mirror surface below.
Buzz!
Centered on his foot, an invisible space ripple rapidly spread out, sweeping over a kilometer radius.
Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!
Wherever the space ripple swept, regardless of size, the mirror surface instantly was covered by a layer of frost.
The smooth mirror became rough; after the environment changed.
Nightmare Thorn, who had already merged into the environment, suddenly paused, its stealth effect instantly shattered, revealing the slender figure shrouded in shadows.
Nightmare Thorn responded extremely quickly, its figure suddenly blurring again, attempting short-distance shadow hopping.
But Life Throat’s attack connected even faster.
His ten fingers deftly tapped across the air as if playing an instrument!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Feathers formed from "Solar Annihilation" energy appeared out of thin air, covering all potential shadow jumping areas and landing points for Nightmare Thorn.
In an instant, it was like a thousand arrows shooting simultaneously.
Feathers fell like raindrops.
Nightmare Thorn’s figure was forced to show itself again, evasively dodging the feathers, its rhythm disrupted.
Life Throat seized this fleeting opportunity, silver eyes shining brightly.
He pointed forward with his fingers like a sword towards Nightmare Thorn’s direction.
Evil Wind gathered, transformed into invisible chains.
Combined with "Binding" characteristic, the space around Nightmare Thorn suddenly became as hard as steel, forcing its body into a stiff state.
Though this binding could only last for a very short time, for Life Throat, it was enough.
He widened his eyes suddenly.
Immediately, a spirit shock wave, invisible and intangible, at lightning speed, slammed into the bound Nightmare Thorn.
Poof!
Nightmare Thorn’s shadow shield was torn apart like paper, the power of the spirit shock wave directly penetrated.
Nightmare Thorn’s body trembled violently; it felt its consciousness being frantically torn and resonated by an invisible force.
Feeling dizzy and simultaneously, its chest cracked open, spraying a mass of blood that transformed into ice crystals mid-air.
When the binding feeling dissipated, it was preparing to leave.
At this moment, the unavoidable stiff state manifested again, leaving it hard-locked in place.
At this time, Life Throat was also under immense pressure.
Opponent’s Life Strength was extremely high; the continuous release of binding drained too much spiritual power.
In the Soul Fighting Arena, no amplification items could be used, or else the supervising Champion Fighter would intervene.
Once spiritual power is exhausted, he would be instantly killed by Nightmare Thorn.
Facing Nightmare Thorn completely bound, Life Throat decisively attacked again.
A point of ink-colored sparks used "Binding" characteristic as a conduit, quietly emerged on Nightmare Thorn’s chest, then exploded.
Instantly transformed into a devouring cloud of Silent Extinction Ink Flame, completely engulfing Nightmare Thorn’s body.
Spiritual power continued to consume.
Inside the Ink Flame, Nightmare Thorn emitted a silent scream, its body rapidly charred, carbonized, and finally turned to ashes, dissipating in the Void Mirror Domain.
From Nightmare Thorn’s launch of the assault to its complete counter-kill, the entire process spanned only a dozen seconds.
Life Throat stood in place, his footsteps never moved an inch, yet he thoroughly crushed an extremely dangerous 14-win-level Nightmare Thorn warrior.
However, Life Throat’s expression did not relax but rather became extremely grave.
The perception granted by the Eagle-Headed Demon allowed him to clearly see that amongst the ashes burned by Ink Flame, a pinprick of pure and extreme brightness was rapidly nurturing and expanding.
