Chapter 608: I dare not! (1/2)

GDK 608: I dare not!

“You, you, what in the world are you?!” The man’s cold voice was trembling slightly as he looked at Han Shuo, who had abruptly turned into a longsword.

Having fought alongside the Ice Goddess on various material planes for many years, he had seen and met all kinds of characters and races. However, never before had anything he witnessed caused him as much shock as this one. The scene before him was completely beyond his understanding of the natural world. A feeling of utter absurdity rose from the bottom of his heart.

Man was not the only species that was afraid of the unknown, gods were just the same. The envoy, who had not felt any nervousness since he descended to this plane, was rather fearful watching Han Shuo transform into a longsword.

Creak… Creak… The Demonslayer Edge made a few swings and caused the solid ice around him to start cracking. The envoy grew even more terrified.

“I’m a nobody. Oh, you think you can trap me with merely this ice of yours?” Han Shuo’s avatar, in his Demonslayer Edge form, ridiculed and sneered from within the ice. Bloody red radiances repeatedly flashed from the edges of the sword before the ice that had frozen him in place shattered.

The Demonslayer Edge was forged by Han Shuo to be sharper than anything in existence. It was also extremely difficult to trap it thanks to its usual composition. As it glistened, the Demonslayer Edge shot towards Han Shuo’s main body still frozen in place. The ice that trapped Han Shuo’s main body completely shattered with a crisp. Han Shuo cracked a grin and looked the envoy up and down. He opened his palm and the Demonslayer Edge flew into his grasp. Then, he pointed at his avatar of death a distance away and smilingly said, “Look at that body. Isn’t it very strange as well?”

The man turned to look and suddenly discovered that the third Han Shuo had turned into a skeletal staff. He was yet again shocked and his heart trembled. He really had no idea what kind of a monster he was up against.

“What, what race do you belong to?” the envoy who was in a frightened state shouted as he pointed at Han Shuo.

Han Shuo could tell that the envoy was terrified after experiencing the series of surprises. The envoy, deeply affected by the fear towards the unknown, in addition to having yet to regather his divine energy for the time being, immediately had the idea of retreating.

Han Shuo who was observing the envoy saw that the divine light in his eyes was gradually routing. He coldly groaned, raised the Demonslayer Edge and stabbed at him. Plop! The Demonslayer Edge pierced through his skull.

The negative energy from millions of souls and the divine energy from the edict of destruction contained in the Demonslayer Edge erupted simultaneously. While the envoy’s soul had yet to completely vacate, through the thread of connection left, Han Shuo dealt the envoy a ferocious blow.

“I don’t care who you are – I will find you, and I will kill you!” a short chunk of thought was repeatedly transmitted from the envoy.

Splat! Tiana’s body burst into bits after a bright flash of light. Her body was drained of any divine energy after the midgod’s divine soul escaped.

“He runs fast!” Han Shuo groaned. With a twist of his wrist, the Demonslayer Edge flung towards his other avatar, still trapped in ice and annihilated the divine energy contained in the ice.

Han Shuo, hovering in midair, looked down beneath him. He discovered the bodies of these pious disciples frozen into ice sculptures. The element of water that had momentarily disappeared returned to fill this place once more, causing the suddenly defrosted region to be arctic cold again.

The midgod, in order to manifest himself, had taken away several thousand lives of pious disciples and occupied Tiana’s body. After the round of great battle, all three bodies of Han Shuo’s had sustained injuries. Meanwhile, the midgod had his soul severely damaged by Han Shuo. The injuries to the midgod’s soul were much more severe compared to the injuries on Han Shuo’s physical body.

Even after having paid such a steep price, not only had the envoy still failed to kill Han Shuo, he had to escape with his tail between his legs. There was no doubt that Han Shuo was the victor of this battle. Although the victory didn’t come easy and he too had paid a huge price, when Han Shuo recalled the fact that his opponent was a midgod, he was filled with an intense sense of satisfaction.

His three bodies recombined. After taking a deep breath, Han Shuo suddenly gave a loud whistle. The sound spread far into the distance and towards the three basegods who had retreated prior to the battle.

Han Shuo sat cross-legged on the ground to carefully examine the injuries to his three bodies. The puncture wound on the chest of Han Shuo’s main body had completely healed by now. Most of the frigid aura had also been purged from his body.

His two avatars, however, as their divine bodies were uniquely formed using special objects, couldn’t recover from the blows in that short period and had to slowly nurse their injuries.

As Han Shuo’s two avatars were formed using unique materials, after transformation, not a scratch could be seen on its surface. Although they appeared alright from the outside, the internal was done. Recovery would require an enormous amount of elemental and edictal energy over a period of time.

On the contrary, when it came to Han Shuo’s main body that cultivated in demonic arts, although the injuries appeared severe, thanks to his extraordinary build that had the ability to rejuvenate, the wound was mostly healed before long with just some demonic yuan.

From this aspect, the main body cultivating in demonic arts was indeed remarkable. It had absolutely no fear of tremendous trauma to the physical body.

This battle had taught Han Shuo a lot of valuable lessons. While silently examining his injuries, Han Shuo carefully replayed the battle in his head. Han Shuo learned that as the envoy possessed a Domain of Divinity that was a realm greater, he was in a practically invincible position. While inside that envoy’s Domain of Divinity, Han Shuo appeared to be constrained and his strength was greatly affected.
