As blood splattered all over, the younger-looking Negary tossed the severed head of the Knight of Divine Grace into the air, through the fog created by the Smoker Grass into the flock of crows above.

〖 One 〗Negary declared joyfully. For him, the two fighters who didn’t have any intention of fighting he killed earlier didn’t count.

When his previous head exploded, what it scattered were acute germs. Once infected, a person would feel sick almost immediately, symptoms being dizziness, sluggish limbs, sudden shortness of breath and various others.

However, Myerson had the Grace of Protection so those germs were blocked out by the white barrier around him, while Chris managed to avoid them thanks to his heightened senses when using [Respiratory Art].

Several arrows quickly came flying, but Negary lightly swatted them away with his arm. The outer ‘shell’ that he just shed turned into a black liquid that quickly moved and attached itself onto the body of the headless Knight of Divine Grace.

Soon enough, a black headless knight stood back up and charged towards Myerson.

Myerson was completely shocked and couldn’t do anything but defend himself against the corpse of his previous comrade.

This was another corpse manipulation skill he created, a different and more advanced form of what he did to make the dead speak for him.

A human body naturally contained many reflexes and instinctive movements, and if they practiced something frequently enough, it would form muscle memory.

Negary manipulated the germs to cover the Knight of Divine Grace’s body and use their feelers to pierce through his corpse, constantly mimicking muscle stimulations to make the body move according to muscle memory.

The headless knight that was fighting against Myerson was using the same swordsmanship taught in the Divine Grace’s knight school, causing Myerson to feel as if he was fighting against his comrade, thus unable to fight with his full strength.

“You are desecrating the body of the dead! Negary, you truly are a devil that needs to be eradicated!” Augustin furiously shouted.

〖 What ‘desecrating the dead’, it’s nothing but some boring spices, but if it can make you humans exert even more of your potential, then even boring things have their value 〗Negary spoke with an excited tone: 〖 Give me everything you’ve got, humans. Otherwise, more of you shall die as time passes 〗

〖 Come, come, come! Let this battle be a bit more interesting! 〗Negary’s figure swiftly charged towards Chris, the germs in the air were constantly funneling towards Negary to make his figure grow and expand.

There are completely no openings within his rhythm!

Chris gritted his teeth. A normal person’s rhythm usually followed their own natural patterns, which would include their own weaknesses, Chris’ Rhythm Punch took advantage of the weaknesses within that rhythm to attack.

For example, if a person’s dominant hand was their right hand, in an unexpected situation, they would subconsciously use their right hand, which made the areas where their right hand can’t reach the weakness within their rhythm. Rhythm Punch took advantage of that to only attack such awkward positions.

But despite Chris having closely observed Negary’s rhythm, he couldn’t find the weakness within his rhythm at all. Regardless of where he attacked, Negary would still be able to easily deflect it.
