Chapter 802 - 797: Bron’s Weak Offense
The opposite Rob, hearing Bai Pu boast about breaking his True Intent Prototype, couldn’t help but be filled with arrogance.
"Hmph, just you? You haven’t even comprehended the True Intent Prototype, and you’re just a native from a remote planet with such a big mouth!
"Want to bypass Master Bron and attack me? I’m standing right here, I want to see how you’ll break it!"
Bai Pu remained unmoved, calmly turning thoughts over in his mind.
"The Dimension Corridor True Intent Prototype is compounded from Illusion Mystical Arts and Space Mystical Arts. And Illusion Mystical Arts tend towards the mind, spirit levels... If I could influence Rob’s spirit, the Dimension Corridor would break without a fight.
"Of all the Mystical Arts I’ve comprehended, there seems to be only one that can consistently influence the spirit..."
That is the Red Lotus Mystical Arts.
But how to apply the flame damage of Red Lotus Mystical Arts to Rob, who is ten meters away? Bai Pu doesn’t think the Rob he sees with his eyes is the real Rob...
Even if Rob himself said, "I’m standing right here," Bai Pu doesn’t believe it’s true.
After all, he’s been deceived by his senses!
There’s a strong possibility that Bai Pu would pay a high price, bypassing Bron with the Immortal Melting Core True Intent Prototype to attack Rob, only to find out the Rob in his field of vision is a phantom.
Dealing with ordinary illusion techniques, Bai Pu can use his strong observation to identify slight incongruities, then find the real body.
But Rob’s illusion technique makes it difficult for Bai Pu to see through!
He has trapped Bai Pu’s spirit in a closed illusionary space.
In this illusionary space, the ripple of waves, the slight vibration of the island reef, including the trajectory of the wind flow...everything seems falsely reasonable, with no detectable incongruities.
This mechanism from Rob is utterly absurd, no wonder Dongbo Cheng once fell for the trap.
Bai Pu suddenly flicked his finger, and several fire snakes crawled through the air, lunging towards Rob ten meters away.
However, when the fire snakes hit Rob, he appeared with snowflake-like phantoms, like an old black-and-white TV malfunctioning, and the fire snakes missed their target.
"I didn’t think you knew some magic, able to remotely control spells to bypass Master Bron and attack me."
The ethereal voice sounded again: "But Gangxin, you’re too easy to fool, really thinking I’d reveal my true self to be attacked by you?"
Rob’s figure split from one to two, two to four, and in an instant, Robs were all around, making it impossible to distinguish.
Bai Pu released more fire snakes again.
Three, five, ten...
For a moment, dozens of fire snakes were floating and crawling around Bai Pu within ten meters, twisting and coiling as if to plow the twenty-meter radius space.
"Haha, even though Fire Snake Technique is a low-level magic, manipulating dozens at once must be your limit."
Rob sneered, "Really think this clumsy method can hurt me—"
Yet before the words fell, a sudden turn of events arose!
On the sea surface about eight meters behind Bai Pu, a huge centipede suddenly surged upward! Two sickle-like limbs pierced upwards like lightning.
Above, in Bai Pu’s view of an empty spot, a ripple in the air appeared, and a figure materialized, pierced through the thigh and shoulder by the long and sharp limbs of the centipede.
This person was Rob! A master of the Red Race skilled in Dimension Corridor True Intent Prototype.
And the huge centipede launching an assault from beneath the sea surface to penetrate his body...
Was indeed Bai Pu’s Demon Slave, once a Demon General—the Demon Throat!
It turns out...Bai Pu was always disguising.
He had the Demon Throat lurking underwater, avoiding Rob’s sensory deception from the Dimension Corridor, and suddenly charged from below at the critical time, landing a strike with terrifying speed and power from its high stats.
Had Bai Pu wished, he could completely share vision with the Demon Throat. He hadn’t done so, worried Rob would discover it.
Now with the Demon Throat’s successful strike, it immediately exerted force through its limbs, ready to tear Rob apart brutally with its robust statistics!
Feeling his body about to split, Rob’s soul fled: "Master Bron save me!"
"Melt Core Shelter!"
Bron raised his hand, pointing at Rob’s feet.
A beam of fiery red pure energy shot into the reef below Rob’s feet. The next second, the reef exploded violently, molten lava poured out, covering Rob’s skin surface, forming a set similar to Bron’s body—the "Immortal Melting Core" armor!
The front two blade limbs of the Demon Throat, initially deeply embedded in Rob’s body, were now pushed out by a strong force.
Moreover, the piercing wounds caused by the limbs in Rob’s body began to slowly heal, and Rob’s Life Value gradually increased.
The Demon Throat’s six blade limbs continually launched rapid stabs at Rob!
The dinging sounds constantly rang, and fragments of lava fell off Rob’s surface, only to re-coagulate! The six limbs simply couldn’t penetrate this layer of Immortal Melting Core armor.
Yet the limbs began to show scorched burns upon contact with the heated lava! Generally, a Demon General would be overwhelmed by the pain, releasing Rob to retreat.
Only the Demon Throat now is a Mutant, entirely dominated by Evolutionary Instinct, fearless of pain.
"So it is, Bron is a tank capable of protecting teammates... No wonder his output isn’t strong." Bai Pu self-mumbled.
Bron almost spat blood upon hearing.
The Bron Bai Pu mentioned as "not strong in output" could handle twenty thousand mixed damage in 2.5 seconds of single-target output!
Plus, with the Immortal Melting Core True Intent Prototype’s advantage in defense, regeneration, and counter-damage, he is almost an all-rounded warrior, thus being highly anticipated by the Burning Ash Organization as a future leader.
Facing what seemed to be Bai Pu’s taunt, Bron could only grit his teeth and say: "Gangxin, my Melt Core Shelter shares half of my armor and magic resistance with allies, also providing defenses second only to the Melt Core Armor! You ambushed Rob with the Demon Slave effectively, but with me here, you’ll never threaten Rob!"
After receiving Bron’s support, Rob immediately activated the True Intent Prototype Skill "Phase Walking," his body becoming ethereal, escaping the hold of the Demon Throat.
However, Bai Pu had already controlled the Demon Throat Mutation, deploying two major innate skills!
First, the Demon Abyssal Mouth, sucking in Rob’s figure, rendering him motionless. This is the innate skill originally possessed by Demon Throat.
Second, Six Blades United!
The clanging noise continuously sounded, as the Demon Throat Mutation targeted Rob’s head’s vital points, spun and stabbed rapidly with six blades!
All six blades fell on the same point, utterly shattering the Melt Core Armor on Rob’s head.
This is a derivative of longer blade limbs after the Demon Throat mutation, akin to Bron’s "Melt Core Eruption," both conducting rapid additional attacks in short bursts.
Only the Demon Throat, with higher stats, could accurately focus additional attacks on the same point, achieving a single-point breakthrough!
After Rob’s Melt Core Armor broke, the next second, dozens of nearby fire snakes abruptly accelerated, swooping towards Rob’s head!
