Global Dungeon: I Can See the Status Bar

Pale golden fists dripping with brain-stained blood.

A plume of flame, black as the abyss, suddenly surged forth, instantly scorching the blood and filth to ashes.

Lu Wenwu curiously looked at Morales, who struggled to stand with the help of his longsword, and asked, ”Care to explain what kind of conflict you’re having? As the leader, you’re just going to watch them die?”

”In your Divine Continent’s terms, their Dao Heart is broken, and you’ve become their Heart Demon.”

”Facing you in such a state is certain death; there’s no point in my intervention.”

”Moreover...”

Here, Morales paused slightly.

Holding his sword with both hands, he swung fiercely, and a fiery Dragon Breath rose along the blade, manifesting vaguely into the form of a Black Dragon.

Patterns like Dragon Scales emerged on his armor, with a faint sound of dragon’s roar.

No, those aren’t mere Dragon Scale patterns!

They are Dragon Scales!

Hexagonal Giant Dragon Scales!

Morales’ previously thin frame expanded, and the ornate armor transformed towards a dark hue, spreading along with his body.

”Boom!”

A powerful heartbeat sounded, unleashing the Dragon Power of a Western Giant Dragon, aggressive like bandits.

Black Dragon!

The race among Western Giant Dragons most adept at physical combat.

As a Dragon Knight, even without his partner present, Morales could still exhibit the miraculous powers of the Black Dragon Race, transforming into a three-meter-tall, half-human, half-dragon form.

Holding his Knight’s Longsword, he spoke slowly:

”This is a battle between East and West.”

”A battle between the new era’s Celestial Pride and the remnants of the old era.”

”A battle between players and members of the Salvation Resistance Army.”

”A battle... between you and me!”

As the final words fell, the aura around Morales reached a certain peak.

Yet in the next moment, that peak, like shackles, was shattered, and his combat power, long declined due to age, surged, rapidly approaching its prime!

Lu Wenwu could see that Morales’ eyes no longer held any hatred or old age.

He was now like a warrior eager to die on the battlefield, a true knight seeking glorious combat against strong foes!

Burning his Qi Blood to enhance combat power, like the Supreme Venerable among the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

Even if he managed to win this battle, awaiting him was death from depleted Qi Blood, with no exceptions.

Morales had no regrets about his decision; instead, he broke through in his mindset, reaching a realm he had longed for.

He’d had enough of the previous days of mediocrity!

Even if he perishes gloriously, it’s better than dying in obscurity!

”Morning to Inquire Dao, evening can die... Good... very good!”

Seeing his demeanor, Lu Wenwu couldn’t help but smile and excitedly clenched his fist.

”Since that’s the case, let me show you something I’ve been researching recently.”

With that, Lu Wenwu reached his right hand toward the back of his head.

The human right hand lengthened sharply, and sharp Dragon Claws instantly pierced deliberately exposed skin.

The Dragon Claw, augmented with the Demon God Battle Lance, compressed against the skull, producing a teeth-grinding strange noise.

Morales was stunned, dumbfounded!

He had never seen such a horrifying scene!

He watched as Lu Wenwu tore open his own skull, removed the back of his head, and reached inside, grabbing his brain alive!

When he saw Lu Wenwu holding his brain, eyeballs attached, while placing the back of his head back in place, Morales was completely petrified.

What kind of monster is this!

Taking out his own brain?

He suddenly felt a chill.

Though he knew some special magic techniques allowed top-tier experts to achieve Blood Rebirth, or continue fighting without affecting combat ability despite losing their head.

But starting by digging out one’s own brain was truly a first!

It’s simply madness!

Madness!

Lu Wenwu certainly wasn’t mad; it was the result of his careful consideration.

Long ago, when facing the True Demon Mother Insect, he discovered something.

When his head was blown by the enemy’s attack, something inside seemed to unlock, erupting with power far surpassing normal conditions.

But the price was that after unleashing such powerful punches, his body would be injured.

It’s reasonable.

The human body explodes with far more strength in life-or-death situations than in normal conditions.

Normally, it’s unusable, only because the brain fears the body would overexert itself and die, so it adds limitations.

Indeed, many times such damage and exhaustion after releasing limits are irreversible.

Broken bones and tendons are minor; some may overstrain the body, exhausting Life.

But injury is a daily occurrence for Lu Wenwu...

Losing a head is just a flesh wound for him, with hot-swappable support.
