Chapter 2395 - Move Mountain Area (1/2)

Pang!

Han Sen’s fist and the half-deified bug’s claw collided. The blade-like claws of the beast scratched Han Sen’s armor, drawing a few light marks across its surface. The armor, however, wasn’t broken.

Han Sen’s fist didn’t have enough power to knock away the bug’s claws.

The bug squealed weirdly. Its body flashed with a purple and red light, leaving afterimages as it moved. A flurry of purple and red claw lights came toward Han Sen.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

All of those claws, which could tear through space with ease, came down on Han Sen. The strikes produced a number of light marks across his Dongxuan Armor, but the light scratches vanished quickly.

Dragon One and the others kept an eye on Han Sen. If he couldn’t kite the half-deified bug, they would have to abandon the fight and escape.

But when they turned to watch, they found Han Sen fighting the half-deified creature head-to-head. Although he was suppressed, it was remarkable that the half-deified bug was unable to penetrate his armor.

“Is that guy really a first-tier King?” Dragon Eight looked troubled. Even with his indestructible gold dragon body, he couldn’t block the power of a half-deified’s strike. Han Sen, on the other hand, seemed to be handling the battle rather easily.

Han Sen was unworried, but it wasn’t because of the strength of his Dongxuan Armor.

It was true that the Dongxuan Armor was very resilient. For a first-tier King, it would have ranked as a top-class defensive armor.

But strength like that still wasn’t enough to withstand the pummeling of a half-deified creature. Move Mountain Area’s power was the real reason the bug couldn’t hurt Han Sen.

Move Mountain Area was actually quite special. It didn’t increase Han Sen’s power or weaken his enemies. Instead, it simply transferred power.

First, Move Mountain Area required a carrier, and that carrier could not be a body. While the conch had used its own shell as a carrier, Han Sen had chosen to use his Dongxuan Armor.

Under the effects of Move Mountain Area, any power that attacked the carrier would instead be absorbed by the carrier.

It was like a hydroelectric plant on a river. The power of a river could crush many things, but the Move Mountain Area could separate some of that power and use it for other things.

Unless the enemy’s power was strong enough to break the Move Mountain Area and the designated carrier outright, then additional attacks wouldn’t do any good. In fact, they would actually increase the carrier’s defensive capabilities.

But Move Mountain Area had two primary downsides. The first con was that the power absorbed by the carrier couldn’t be transformed into offensive power and turned back on foes.

The second con was something really bad. The more power the carrier absorbed, the more pressure it would endure. Although it wouldn’t crush Han Sen’s body, it would make him move very slowly.

After using Move Mountain Area, Han Sen could shrug off powerful blows. But if he wanted to run or attack, he would be too slow to do so.

Fortunately, in this situation, Han Sen had no plans to attack the half-deified bug. All he had to do was hold it in place until Dragon One killed his own bug and came over to help. So, for this purpose, Han Sen was happy to select Move Mountain Area.

Move Mountain Area had its benefits. Although the bug’s consuming area continued trying to drain power from Han Sen, it merely drained the stored power of the carrier. The enemy was recollecting its own power, and thus it didn’t have any effect on Han Sen.

The half-deified bug attacked Han Sen furiously. Han Sen tried to dodge at first, but he soon gave up the attempt. The bug’s attacks were focused on the Dongxuan Armor, and the destructive powers the beast wielded had weakened. In the end, it didn’t really affect Han Sen.
