Book 4: Near Blood - Chapter 164: Toyed To Death (1/2)

“Willpower doesn’t th!”

“If just gritting your teeth is enough to ensure victory, then what’s the point of being strong?”

“Focus your attention and then unleash it! The Arcana Race is invincible!”

Astin felt like he was hearing his past voice speak to his current self

How interesting Before this, he had only believed in strength and not in the explosive power of potential, but noas beginning to unleash his hidden potential

It was exceptionally difficult for Arcana Masters to unleash their potential

But if successful, the results would be extreathered all of his power, e aura Even Su Chen could sense the i before his eyes

Astin was about to use another Sixth-Ring Arcana Technique

Astin was a Fifth-Ring Arcana Master Under nor Arcana Techniques But like how strong people could bypass Origin Energy restrictions, Arcana Masters also possessed their oays of getting around their lidom’s rule, the Arcana Race had developed more than ten methods to overcome these restrictions This hy Su Chen wasn’t that surprised by the fact that Astin was able to use Sixth-Ring Arcana Techniques

But because he was ju tiers, Astin could only really use the Fire Halo Even though the Fire Halo was a Sixth-Ring Arcana Technique, it was eneral poasn’t actually that her than the Black Wave of Death Astin had chosen this technique all those years ago because he had believed that he was le assailant

For the first tiret that decision

The Flah to finish off his opponent, but at the very least he knew that Sixth-Ring Arcana Techniques posed a threat to Su Chen

A powerful single-target Sixth-Ring Arcana Technique could absolutely kill his opponent

As such, at this moment, he made the decision to cut off his paths of retreat

A venoht began to gather in front of him It was obvious that the Arcana Technique Astin was about to use was extremely poisonous However, he didn’t stop just there

At the sareenwo out a high-pitched, sorrowful song

Her voice was extre, and anyone who heard it would want to serve her

As the technique was activated, Astin’s body began to rapidly decline — this abnor Arcana Technique tiers was rapidly draining his lifeforce

“Go, Ghost Maiden Kill that bastard!”

The woly at Su Chen as the dense wave of miasma floated towards him

“So that’s your ultimate technique? It uses a consciousness technique and poison in tandem to amplify their individual effects As the consciousness technique erodes the target’s will, the target’s ability to resist the poison will decrease, and the increased dae inflicted by the poison will then make it harder for the opponent to resist the consciousness technique However, this also means that these two techniques on their own aren’t actually that special; their effectiveness coet it! This techniqueArcana Techniques into one No wonder you were able to jump tiers to use a skill like this; you already had a foundation set beforehand”

Su Chen indifferently vocalized his analysis Not only was he able to defend hiainst the Ghost Maiden’s ambush, but he even had the mental capacity to calmly evaluate this Arcana Technique

“This- how is this possible?” Astin stared at Su Chen in complete shock

How could he so easily defend hiainst the attack of lanced at Astin soth Did you never investigate what kind of person I am? I am half a foot in the Master Alche poison affect me? As for the Ghost Maiden’s aet how your other consciousness control Arcana Techniques all failed on ue-tied

The Ghost Maiden clawed viciously but had no way of penetrating Su Chen’s consciousness

The hty walls that Su Chen had erected around his heart were i Arcana Techniques were indeed very powerful, and co consciousness attacks with poison was more than sufficient to deal withto face such a combination head-on

However, even theopponent

Su Chen was basically completely resistant to any poison-type or consciousness-type Arcana Techniques If either of these were used against him, they would alht?” Su Chen sely at his opponent

Astin’s hair was already completely white

NoArcana Technique, the cost of using one was quite high

“Die!” Su Chen yelled as he stabbed out with his blade
