“What a monster!”
Eugene, who had been “watching the show,” stared at Suluk with his mouth wide open in astonishment.
He could tell that the ice eagle Franklin had just used was definitely powerful; even if he had taken that hit head-on, it would have consumed a significant amount of his Nen.
But what about Suluk?
It simply took both eagles head-on and then healed itself instantly.
Such terrifying regenerative ability would put immense psychological pressure on any enemy.
It was hard to imagine that such a monster existed in this world.
If it were him, he probably would have turned around and run away at the first opportunity.
Yet Franklin still hadn’t left—he was quite a character.
Eugene didn’t think Franklin could defeat such a monster, and he couldn’t help but sigh inwardly; today had been truly thrilling.
He had thought he was the strongest, only to discover that Magio was stronger.
He had thought Magio was going to win, only for Franklin to turn the tables.
Surely things should end here, right?
But Suluk had stood back up, revealing its true form as an unkillable monster; Franklin would likely not escape death.
The final winner would be this monster that had been hiding the deepest.
Reversals, reversals, and more reversals.
“That hit really hurt, you know~” The vines on Suluk’s face twisted like countless wriggling earthworms, emitting a harsh, grating sound.
“This just makes me even more satisfied with you.”
“Stop resisting and just let me become you!”
As soon as it finished speaking, Suluk raised its hands, and countless vines shot out, crossing over a dozen meters in an instant to arrive right in front of Lynn.
So fast!
Lynn raised an eyebrow, stomped hard on the ground, and used the recoil to dodge to the side.
“Six Styles • Shave!”
The missed vines struck the ice wall behind him, leaving deep holes; each strike was more terrifying than a bullet.
When facing an unknown Calamity, it was best not to get hit if you could avoid it.
Who knew if Suluk’s vines were poisonous or had other added effects?
Many Calamities could kill on the first encounter; it was perfectly normal to die from just a single hit.
Seeing Lynn dodge, Suluk wasn’t annoyed; it just kept up the pursuit, firing an endless stream of vines.
Lynn dodged while attempting to counterattack, his hands constantly channeling Nen.
The ground shook as walls of ice rose up from the floor.
The vines struck them, barely piercing through before losing their momentum.
Soon, ice walls had risen throughout the ice cave, and both Lynn and Chopper disappeared from Suluk’s field of vision.
“What are you doing? A death struggle?” Suluk scoffed, maintaining its high-frequency vine fire.
All it had to do was pulverize these annoying ice walls!
As vine after vine shattered the ice walls, ice shards accumulated on the ground, and ice mist gradually rose in the air, causing visibility to drop. This chapter was copied from novelping . com without permission.
Unknowingly, during the process of dodging, the distance between Lynn and Suluk was constantly closing.
Finally, when Suluk aimed an attack at an ice wall in the opposite direction, Lynn seized the opportunity to rush out from a corner, his hands positioned for an attack.
“You’ve been tricked!” Suluk sneered, and suddenly, multiple vines shot out from its waist…
In reality, it could fire vines from anywhere on its body; it had only been using its hands earlier to intentionally create a false impression.
The next moment, Suluk’s smile froze.
Lynn had been instantly impaled by the vines, multiple holes appearing through his body, his state of death gruesome to behold.
But a second later, the lifelike Lynn turned into a shattered ice sculpture, crumbling into ice fragments and vanishing.
“Ice Make Magic • Clone!”
It was a fake?
Then where was the real one?
Panic rose in Suluk’s heart as footsteps sounded behind it.
In its haste, it turned around while firing vines to attack.
The barrel-waisted Heavy Point Chopper came into view.
Chopper’s eyes narrowed, and he leaped lightly to dodge the vine attack before immediately striking at its waist.
In the air, Lynn, who had been holding onto the Great Eagle’s claws, let go and descended from above, gathering a massive amount of cold air to strike directly at Suluk’s head!
The previous Clone was just a decoy!
Attacks from the air and the ground were the real killing blow!
Although there were still some risks, he had to give it a try.
While launching the sneak attack, Lynn was also worried about Chopper.
Because card characters could also die, though fortunately, they could be resurrected.
There was no cost to activate a card character the first time, but after their first death, sufficient Nen had to be infused to reactivate them.
For example, if the B-rank Chopper died, he would need to have about B-rank strength to reactivate him.
And every time they died, the required Nen for that card character would double.
After dying a few more times, the required Nen would become an astronomical figure, at which point it would be equivalent to a permanent death.
So, Lynn cherished them quite a bit; if he could avoid letting his card characters die, he wouldn’t.
Crack, crack—
Lynn’s attack arrived first.
Suluk began to freeze from the head down, the ice spreading to other parts of its body as if it were about to be completely encased.
On the other side, Chopper also exerted all his strength, striking at Suluk’s waist.
“Heavy Gong Roseo!”
Boom!
The frozen Suluk instantly exploded.
Countless vine fragments scattered, accompanied by sparkling, bright ice crystals; looking at this scene alone, it was quite magnificent.
Did it succeed?
Not far away, Eugene widened his eyes.
Could it be that Franklin and his pet really killed that monster? New chapters come out on g.com first.
It was shattered into bits; surely it couldn’t recover from that, right?
But unfortunately, things did not go as planned.
These briefly dispersed vines seemed to have a magnetic attraction to each other; they began to converge in mid-air, and by the time they hit the ground, they had instantly reformed into Suluk.
Even before it had completely reformed, Suluk’s voice rang out first.
“You really do surprise me time and time again.”
“Not bad, not bad. I will enjoy tasting your pet as well.”
“No matter how much you struggle, your fate is sealed!”
In truth, Suluk secretly thought to itself that it had been a close call.
It had almost been finished, but as luck would have it, Franklin’s method of attack was ice!
Perhaps because it was born from the Ice and Snow Labyrinth, it naturally had extremely strong resistance to ice, which was why it had been able to heal normally just now.
What it feared most was fire; once caught in flames, things would be very troublesome.
The coordination just now had been excellent; if Franklin’s ability had been fire, it would likely be dead right now.
“Lynn, what should we do?” Chopper stood beside Lynn, looking at Suluk, which had restored itself to its original form, with a heavy expression.
Lynn’s heart sank, and he didn’t speak immediately.
A Calamity was truly a Calamity; the fight was endless.
But no matter what it was, there must be a way to solve it.
For example, Suluk’s regenerative ability had a limit; if he killed it over and over, he could eventually wear it down to death.
But this tactic was too risky.
He didn’t have much Nen himself, and among the Advanced application techniques, he had only learned “Gyo” and “Ken”; he hadn’t even had time to truly master “Ryu”.
If not for the B-rank Ice Make Magic boosting his strength, his power rating might not even have been B-.
The Nen consumption of Ice Make Magic was also high; he would run out of energy long before he could wear Suluk down.
Therefore, there was only one method left!
Bet that it feared fire!
Lynn recalled when they were attacked by mosquitoes earlier; when faced with the flames of the blonde-haired Shado, Suluk had appeared very agitated and kept its distance.
Vines fearing fire was a very normal thing.
As for him not having fire right now?
No problem, his cards had fire!
Earlier, he had already used telepathy to notify Capone to get ready, including manpower, firearms, flamethrowers, and so on.
One last gamble; if he couldn’t win, he would retreat!
If he happened to succeed…
he didn’t even dare to imagine what kind of card it might drop!
“What’s wrong? Are you afraid?” Suluk laughed wildly.
“I’ve said it countless times: it’s impossible for you to win against me!”
“That’s not necessarily true.” Lynn’s eyes flickered slightly as he flipped out a card.
“I’m waiting for time, what are you waiting for?”
