Chapter 167: The God of Death’s dread

The nerves in his eyes and his entire brains were fiercely hurting, as they always did during training.

But what was different this time was, Ayrin felt the surrounding darkness suddenly vanish. Everything became clear; everything in his surroundings seemed to have slowed down.

“Success?”

“The pressure from a powerful enemy like this really turned out to be useful! Haha!”

Ayrin couldn’t hold back a proud, hearty laugh.

“You can still laugh? Ayrin, what’s so funny!” Charlotte was shouting like this in her mind, but her inner fear also seemed to vanish like clouds along with Ayrin’s laughter.

“Here I come!”

Successfully invoking the “Eyes of the Dark Goddess” in the midst of battle filled Ayrin with confidence. Laughing, he stopped Dragon Scale Assimilation.

The light glinting from his golden scales vanished. A ghastly red light flashed in its place. His entire body started to melt into a puddle of blood.

His hands still hanging at his sides, Lotton looked down at his feet.

A puddle of blood was also oozing out of the ground at his feet.

But then, he suddenly backhanded his right fist behind him. At the same time, a layer of pale-white particles appeared all along the surface of his right arm.

“Did he find out?”

“He can actually see through the secret of this skill and find where I’m hidden?”

Ayrin’s genuine body was behind Lotton at this time. Lotton’s hand slapped at Ayrin with incomparable accuracy, the pale-white particles on his arm seeming to carry a terrifying corroding power with them.

But Ayrin wasn’t apprehensive in the least.

Because the only reason he’d launched this skill was to get closer to Lotton so he could rely on the Eyes of the Dark Goddess to fight with Lotton at close range!

Lotton’s hand was so fast he would never have been able to react in time usually. But now, his body was already on the move the instant Lotton sent his hand slapping backward!

“Whoosh!”

Lotton’s hand flew past him, almost grazing him. With a “Bang,” his punch landed viciously on the middle of Lotton’s back.

“Got him!”

Ayrin and Charlotte were both overjoyed when they heard that bang.

“This guy…”

However, Ayrin suddenly felt something wrong.

His eyes met with Lotton’s eyes just at this moment, their gazes clashing. There was only a pensive and confused expression in Lotton’s eyes, but there wasn’t even any expression of pain whatsoever.

“Pa!”

Lotton hand that’d grazed past Ayrin suddenly pressed down, sweeping on Ayrin.

“Boom!”

Ayrin directly crashed to the ground from the slap, then bounced back up.

A row of pale-white particles sank inside his clothes and penetrated into his skin. Traces of corrosion started to appear on his skin.

“Ayrin!”

Ayrin had told Charlotte to attend to her own defense and nothing else, but how could she care about that at a time like this? The war avatar in front of her leaped forward, charging in Lotton’s direction.

Disregarding the Ayrin he’d sent flying with a slap, Lotton’s figure flashed and immediately appeared in front of the soul avatar. He clutched the avatar’s head with one hand.

“Scatter!”

With Charlotte’s command, the war avatar dispersed into a silvery metallic fog.

Lotton’s arm swept through the silvery fog.

As though it had been corroded, a great patch of thick, silver fog transformed into black powder, scattering on the ground.

“Reassemble!”

Charlotte’s face turned white as snow.

The reassembled war avatar was only a third of its previous size.

With one strike, Lotton had worn away more than half her avatar’s arcane energy.

“Aaaaaahhhhh…”

Fallen heavily on the ground, Ayrin suddenly shouted like a madman.
