Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 611: Chapter 611: Clamor (35)_1 Chapter 611: Chapter 611: Clamor (35)_1 It turned out that Ariel, as a Divine Envoy, despite not being known for his physical strength, possessed a body with quite an impressive resilience.

Even though the influence of Transcendence was dispelled and he was hit by a bullet of Mercy, it only left a mark on the surface of his body.

Fu Qian’s response was to pull the trigger repeatedly, emptying the rest of the bullets into his target.

With the last bullet hitting the same spot, Ariel’s skin finally tore open, creating a wound.

However, even this shallow wound was healing rapidly.

At the same time, the divine aura on Ariel’s body was swiftly returning.

He was quickly overcoming the effects of the Eternal Clarity Mind, and at this moment, the bell sounds with the dispelling power had just stopped.

Such was the terror of a Second Phase Transcendent!

Fu Qian did not hesitate and charged forward immediately.

The Eternal Clarity Mind dispelled Transcendent effects within a certain range, affecting anyone who entered it for a certain duration.

Therefore, when testing the capabilities of this artifact, Fu Qian had thought about using this feature to create a window of opportunity.

For instance, for those at the Demigod Level, the time it takes for Transcendence to return after being affected is noticeably longer than the duration of the dispelling effect.

So the idea was, after someone else rang the bell, one could time their actions to easily overwhelm an affected demigod.

But then it occurred to him that he could almost always easily crush most demigods in his current state, so such tactics seemed entirely unnecessary and not very practical.

However, applying this method here seemed more appropriate than ever.

The effects of the Eternal Clarity Mind, to some extent, had brought the Divine Envoy Ariel to the same level as himself.

Even so, by the time Fu Qian reached Ariel, the latter’s divinity had already recovered to a significant extent.

Luckily, Fu Qian wasn’t pinning his hopes on using this brief window to truly kill a Divine Envoy.

The next moment, he crushed a talisman covered in oil paint near the location of the wound.

The Godblood Curse, a trophy from Camus.

This wouldn’t be much of a threat to Ariel in his prime state.

But with his weakened and wounded condition, the effect was promising.

The next moment, an aura full of corruption and chaos exploded between Fu Qian and Ariel, quickly burrowing into the surrounding flesh.

And as Fu Qian passed by Ariel, he smoothly took the bell from Riet’s hand, didn’t even look back, and dove into the sea, heading straight for Hamadus.

Behind him, chaotic patterns interwoven on Ariel’s body surface flickered, dissipating momentarily before re-emerging.

In less than a second, Ariel gave up on trying to dispel the Curse and immediately started chasing, not even sparing a glance at Riet, the bell ringer.

Riet, who hadn’t even realized the bell was no longer in her hand, was still standing dumbfounded on the spot, while her sister, Veil, was frantically pulling her back.

Considering the collective effect of Decree Residue, Veil had also been shocked awake.

As a Middle Tier Transcendent, she had been even more affected by the bell’s sound and had yet to recover.

Just as Fu Qian expected, Ariel had no intention of killing Riet, who no longer had the bell, to vent his anger.

After displaying his threat to Hamadus, he didn’t even spare them a millisecond of his attention.

For the two sisters, Ariel’s extreme utilitarianism was clearly a blessing.

…

“Ha~ma~dus—”

When Fu Qian once again approached above the divine ship, Hamadus was responding to the call with a muffled, chaotic voice.

And on the way over, Fu Qian’s body had already enlarged.

Given that the bullets of Mercy had run out, Fu Qian did not hesitate to smash it against Hamadus again while repeating the trick, thrusting his long arm down the throat to block the latter half of the roar in his belly.

Even so, the roar in front still deducted 1 SAN Point from Fu Qian.

He wasn’t surprised by this since the effect of the Sweet Dream Cage was to block gazing, not immunity to mental damage, more akin to preventing higher beings from locking onto him.

For example, if Tan Ying and Young Master Qin were to put it on, the change would be that he couldn’t trace their calls to influence them in reverse.

But if they foolishly watched him unleashing a powerful move, they would still be scared.

At this moment, the blood-red eyes of Hamadus did not cause a loss of SAN Points, and the fact that he didn’t feel any discomfort proved this point.

The next moment, Fu Qian crushed another talisman he had obtained from Marco, then launched a Visceral Critical Strike.

Blood splattered, unfortunately, this time it did not trigger Graceful Release, but merely extracted a single kidney.

Is there really a lucky bonus the first time one fights a boss?

In his contemplation, a Scorching Sunfire had already slammed into Fu Qian’s back from the sky.

Ariel, who had caught up, launched the attack without hesitation.

Accompanied by exaggerated high temperatures, the celestial fire almost instantly melted a hole through the Bone Armor on his back.

However, in just a moment, surging flesh sealed the wound.

Completely disregarding the spread of the Godblood Curse, Fu Qian’s fleshly power was unleashed to its fullest extent.

He didn’t even give Ariel a second glance, delivering another Visceral Critical Strike to Hamadus in the next moment.

Although Graceful Release still did not activate, in the chaos of struggle, the shape of Hamadus’s head had almost become unrecognizable.

This brutal scene directly made Ariel halt in his tracks, without casting a second Scorching Sunfire.

In the next moment, a familiar action reappeared, the single-gloved hand raised skyward, and the noisy world around rapidly twisted with it.

Assessing that he wouldn’t be extinguished in a short time, and instead, Hamadus was likely to give out first, Ariel abandoned the plan of killing before summoning, choosing instead to pull Rom in directly?

Such a move naturally did not escape Fu Qian’s eyes, and his response was no response at all.

Allowing Ariel to proceed with his persuasion, Fu Qian plunged his hand into the chaotic flesh and used the third Visceral Critical Strike.

This result was exactly what he wanted, why would he disrupt it?

…

Once he knew the details, Ariel’s behavior was all too predictable.

Apart from reaching the preset “goal,” his logic was nothing more than self-preservation.

Facing the life-threatening Godblood Curse, he couldn’t act as recklessly as Fu Qian; his strength inevitably suffered.

But Fu Qian had the enhancement from the amplified talisman.

With this advantage, it’s not surprising that Ariel gave up the assassination plan and entered this speed competition mode.

As for why Ariel didn’t choose to have a True God descend and annihilate everything like he did with Old Master Logan,

Fu Qian’s judgment was that the sun descending upon him could be equally fatal to Hamadus, directly leading to the failure of his “goal.”

So, unless he faced a life-threatening danger himself, Ariel would not take that step.

“Rom~”

In fact, Ariel’s strategy seemed quite effective.

After only three kidney extractions, Fu Qian could already see bubbling compound eyes amidst the chaotic flesh.

That was fast!

Clearly, Rom was looking forward to this possession game with much anticipation.
