Our Family Has Fallen

However, the Limping Walker wasted no words, and directly rushed into the arena, its tentacles dancing wildly, grabbing those clones and ravaging them, easily flinging them away, heading straight towards the main body.

Lance signaled Reynard and the others to retreat to avoid friendly fire, and naturally to reorganize a bit, reload if they needed to, and apply poison where necessary.

The previous battle had indeed caused some damage, especially to Dismas, who had no armor, and whose coat was torn, exposing wounds.

But in reality, Dismas and the others were more concerned about the suddenly appearing Limping Walker, and hadn’t heard of this trick of the Lords Council?

However, they didn’t think too much about it, which was why Lance chose to bring them along.

Simple healing and refreshing their states, while Lance focused his main energy on the battle ahead.

The Ancestor summoned more clones in response to the Limping Walker and healed the injuries on them.

It could be said that the clones overturned by the Limping Walker quickly recovered, and the attacks from these clones landed on the Limping Walker, causing damage. More troubling was the pressure from the spells they cast, even Void Demons could hardly avoid it.

Thus, although the Limping Walker appeared fierce, it was actually being blocked by the fearless and endlessly replenishing clones.

But in such a situation Lance noticed something and immediately commanded the others.

"While the Limping Walker draws fire from the front, you three focus on attacking the main body, don’t worry about whether it’s damaged, just attack and harass him."

"Yes!"

The three immediately formed a small team and charged into the battlefield again, while Lance, seeing the Limping Walker falter, activated Flesh Reconstruction to lift it back up.

When he summoned it, Lance wasn’t sure if it would listen to him, which was why he initially provoked it against the Ancestor.

To deal with these Aberrant Demons, letting it suffer a little would make it calm down, or else it would surely forget the initial agreement.

With Lance’s healing, the Limping Walker immediately changed its weakened state, let out a roar that shook the space, and plunged the surrounding clones into chaos.

At this time, the Limping Walker furiously swung its tentacles, tearing and slicing them apart, but now added a step of throwing them to Lance.

Apparently, it remembered the collaboration between the two from before.

Naturally, Lance sharply sacrificed and shoved all the flesh and blood into his pocket to replenish the consumption from summoning the Limping Walker.

And the Ancestor seemed to notice this, finally realizing where his flesh had gone. However, he couldn’t care less because the trio had already seized the opportunity to attack.

Meanwhile, Lance joined the battle at the front, but his target wasn’t to join the melee with the Limping Walker, rather it was to focus on the imperfect clones appearing sporadically among them.

The imperfect clones had large swathes of twisted flesh very conspicuous. As Lance approached, the thing directly revealed its essence, its body split wide open, and a swift attack shot out.

Nameless choice!

But Lance swung his hammer, and the protruding flesh and bone were instantly worn away by the eerie force upon contact with the hammerhead, nothing could withstand the condensed void annihilation’s terrifying power.

Lance seized the chance to use the imperfect clones as a medium to attack the main body.

The Ancestor’s Invincible Golden Body, in the end, was but a strong control over the flesh, directly avoiding any damage, with even injuries healing instantaneously.

Yet maintaining such a perfect state was very difficult, he even gave up the ability for direct offense, using only the clones for attacks.

Thus breaking his trick was simple, just prevent him from focusing on it, which prompted the trio to force the Ancestor to split his attention.

The more distracted he became, the more likely the clones he produced would have flaws leading to imperfection, allowing Lance to seize the opportunity.

Don’t forget, he also possessed the Power of Flesh and Blood, and naturally could harm the Ancestor’s main body by identifying the flaws within that flesh.

In sheer control of the Power of Flesh and Blood, Lance was certainly inferior to the Ancestor, but he had companions!

Normally, as seen earlier, such Void Demons like the Limping Walker, not inferior to human Legendaries, were stopped, none of the enemies could threaten him.

Yet Lance happened to be a freak, you can heal clones, I can heal the Limping Walker, the sacrificial move further wasn’t afraid of any attrition warfare.

Thus, it created a very interesting scenario, with the Limping Walker standing at the front to protect Lance, Reynard and the trio harassing the main body to expose its weaknesses, while Lance was using the imperfect clones against the Ancestor to compete in the Power of Flesh and Blood.

What could the Ancestor do? The clones he summoned were blocked by the Limping Walker, turned around to replenish Lance’s battle consumption.

Instead, he was being chased by Reynard and the others, a distracted Ancestor found difficulty maintaining that state, increasingly producing imperfect clones.

Finally, after Lance crushed several imperfect clones in succession, the Ancestor lost his patience, seemingly understanding that he couldn’t win the attrition battle against them.

"Flesh is fluid, it can change, reshape, and recreate!"

Suddenly, the Ancestor raised his hands ahead of him, issuing a declaration-like shout, all the clones, perfect or imperfect, vanished, reintegrating into the space.

But in Lance’s eyes, the flesh was indeed fluid, under the Ancestor’s exquisite controlling power of Flesh and Blood, those clones transformed into vitality flowing back to the main body.

Phase two, gloriously debut!

The size of the Ancestor’s main body inexplicably expanded to over two meters, akin to a small giant, and at this moment, he clasped his hands ahead, his fingers continuously tapping, his impatience unmistakable.

He appeared to be tired of the preceding game and intended to take the field himself, releasing those attack abilities.

Unlike Lance and the others who exercised caution, the Limping Walker charged directly at the main body as soon as the clones blocking the way disappeared.

Those tentacles with dagger-shaped bone blades pounded heavily, thinking its larger size would be unmatched?

Yet didn’t expect the Ancestor didn’t even need to raise a hand, as along with the Limping Walker’s attack, appeared wisps of dark red lingering, blocking the path.

Absolute void!

Those tentacles slammed heavily into the void without causing any harm to the Ancestor, and there were three such ’Shields’ before the Ancestor.

Indeed, aside from his strong Power of Flesh and Blood, the Ancestor also deeply researched the void, and with the loss of the barrier provided by clones, he naturally required some means to protect himself.

"Don’t mind the voids, attack the main body!"

However, just as Lance began to give orders, the Ancestor raised his hand, gesturing towards the Limping Walker. A ritual sketched in deep red like blood instantly formed in his hand, showcasing the Ancestor’s formidable spellcasting abilities.

Reconstruction!

A powerful force acted upon the Limping Walker, instantly causing its flesh, bones, and organs to show signs of splitting, as if forcibly torn apart.

So this was what it looked like when that terrifying Power of Flesh and Blood was used on an enemy!

But Lance was not about to let anything happen to the Limping Walker, as if he were the only one who could use this trick.

Flesh Reconstruction!

An unending flow of Spiritual Essence transformed into immense power acting on the Limping Walker, while the Ancestor tried to tear it, and Lance worked on healing it, leading to a confrontation.

The issue was the Ancestor lacked clones, while Lance certainly had teammates.

Reynard and the others, seeing the situation, didn’t need more words, grabbed their weapons, and charged at the Ancestor.

Following the Lord’s command, they directly bypassed the void, but their actions also provoked dissatisfaction from the Ancestor. His other hand raised, displaying another gesture, and the force initially acting on the Limping Walker suddenly spread.

Reshape them!

Reynard and the others’ Legendary constitutions could partially resist the sorcery, but nonetheless, they still felt as though their entire beings were about to split apart.

Simultaneously targeting everyone, one could see just how strong the Ancestor’s flesh manipulation truly was!

However, in the next second, Reynard and the others’ bodies stabilized once more, with voices coming from behind.

"Charge ahead, I’m right behind you!"
