Chapter 920: Despicable (2/2)
Besides, Han Hao was also a member of the House of Han. Friendly competition would be great for tempering Sanguis.
“Let’s help them up. Haha, after all, it’s not courteous to just stand and watch!” suggested Gilbert excitedly after doing nothing for a while.
Before Bollands could speak, red lights burst from Sanguis' eyes and he charged at the enemies as an intense reeking of blood emanated from his body. Having Han Hao as a strong competitor seemed to have motivated Sanguis. Somehow, he seemed to have obtained yet another breakthrough in his cultivation of Bloodgod Mantra.
“Holy fuck, that blood aura of his have intensified. Don’t tell me that he has obtained yet another breakthrough? Sanguis is absolutely wild!” Gilbert was familiar with Sanguis’ strength and they were standing close by. He exclaimed when he sensed that the blood aura on Sanguis had grown more intense than before.
Bollands nodded gladly and put on a prideful faint smile. He remarked, “Sanguis is indeed talented. At this speed of progress, one day, he might even exceed Han Hao in strength.”
“I’d doubt that. Haha, you have not met Han Hao before. That guy is even more terrifying and even more callous and heartless than you are. There is no way that Sanguis could progress as fast as he could in terms of realm state,” remarked Gilbert after thinking for a moment. He felt that Sanguis lacked something that Little Skeleton had.
“I can’t wait to meet him,” said Bollands. He too seemed very interested in Han Hao.
“Come, let’s kill these bastards!” cried Gilbert before charging at Luca’s minions.
Polo’s forces had the upper hand over Luca’s forces. With Sanguis, Bollands, and Gilbert joining the massacre, Luca’s minions perished at an even faster rate. One after another, they would let out miserable shrieks and perish after all their divine energy was drained.
In just moments, the more than a hundred midgods that Luca brought were annihilated. All that left was Luca and a few highgods who were struggling to survive. However, it was clear that they won’t be able to last for much longer.
“There’s no escape, Luca. What a fucking shame that you don’t cultivate destruction energy. Otherwise, I could have a real feast today,” said Polo haughtily as he beat up Luca with five of his godhunters.
“Don’t worry about it, Polo. Though you may not be able to absorb his energy - we can!” remarked a highgod of death as his eyes shining with ravenous, savage lights stared fixedly on Luca. Saliva overflowed from the corner of his mouth as he grinned.
Luca grew even more desperate and despaired as he listened to the godhunters discussing how to divide the divine energy in his body among themselves. Whenever he tried to use a certain item in his space ring to escape, the firepower shot at him would increase by several folds, forcing him to defend and unable to utilize the escape tool.
As the battle went on, the injuries on Luca’s body grew more and more severe. Suddenly, he noticed that his eyelids felt incredibly heavy and the cognitive ability of his divine soul was diminishing.
“Poison? You… You have complete upper hand, and yet, you use… poison?” Luca felt lethargic. He could barely lift his arms and legs as they seemed as heavy as lead. Luca stared at the sneering Polo with discontent as he strenuously yelled, “Despicable, how despicable! You… You will die horribly!”
“Hehe, we know that given your strength, we will have to suffer some losses if we were to kill you by normal means. But luckily for us, the House of Han makes medicines. Our weapons have been laced with a colorless and odorless poison called ‘Godfall’. It is said that Lord Bryan himself had produced them. Accept your fate!” replied Polo in a most treacherous smile.
Polo and his godhunters had been attacking Luca but not dealt him the killing blow as to let him have hope and not make a kamikaze attack. However, they would moderately make cuts on Luca’s body with their poisoned weapons and slowly poison him.
‘Godfall’, a poison made by Han Shuo, was not just odorless and tasteless, but it also doesn’t activate in low doses so that the victim had no idea that they were being poisoned. The poison would very slowly make its way around the victim’s divine body and penetrate every cell. When the dosage was enough; when the victim felt the effects of the poison, it would be too late.
The poison would affect both the divine body and the divine soul. No matter what they do, they won’t be able to assemble their energy. They would be incapacitated and become a sitting duck. It would be impossible to do anything, much less making a kamikaze attack.
