Chapter 106: Pitch-black Dragon Claw

An intense sonic boom rang out.

Molmo’s speed had reached a whole new level!

In spite of this, Osse remained expressionless in the face of Molmo’s terrifying attack.

Right as Molmo’s incomparably powerful dagger was about to stab Osse, Molmo’s figure suddenly flickered.

In the next moment, Molmo vanished.

“How is this possible!?”

Hercules, who was watching the battle not far away, subconsciously shouted out.

In the next moment, Hercules realized what had happened. He did not expect Molmo to be fast enough to create afterimages and alter his position in mid-air!

In Hercules’ eyes, it was as if the laws of physics had been bent!

Hercules simply could not fathom how powerful Molmo had become.

In the next second, Molmo’s figure appeared behind Osse. His target had never been Osse’s head, instead, it was his back!

With the massive Dragon Scale Greatsword in hand, Molmo surmised that Osse’s greatest weakness was his lack of mobility!

Thus, Molmo had chosen to attack Osse from his blind spot, his back, where he was certain that Osse would not be able to defend in time.

Hercules could not help but praise Molmo for his positioning.

Hercules was unsure whether he would perform as well as Molmo if they were to switch places.

However, a strange scene baffled Hercules once more in the next moment. Just as Molmo’s dagger was about to pierce into Osse’s back, Osse’s figure suddenly blurred.

In the next instant, Osse was facing Molmo head-on once more.

The Dragon Scale Greatsword was still firmly in Osse’s grasp, and thus, what had been a sneak attack had now become a frontal confrontation once more!

How could a small dagger possibly compare to the Dragon Scale Greatsword?

Molmo would undoubtedly lose in this head-on matchup!

Worse still, should Osse decide to not show mercy, he might even slice Molmo’s entire body in half!

‘How is this possible!?’

Molmo cried out in his heart. He was inches away from Osse, it was impossible to alter his trajectory now!

Molmo hardened his resolve. He made a desperate gamble. Instead of using both hands to wield the dagger, he decided to use one hand to intercept Osse’s greatsword and to use the other to wield the blade.

Molmo’s plan was very simple. He would sacrifice one of his hands to ensure he could inflict damage onto Osse with the other.

This was a mutually harmful attack. Even if the attack were to succeed, Molmo would still be injured heavily.

“Too slow.”

Osse snorted coldly and slapped Molmo.

Molmo did not even have the chance to react! Everything had happened in the blink of an eye!

Having been slapped, Molmo was in a dazed state.

With another slam of the Dragon-scale Greatsword, the space around Molmo quaked once more!

An intense sense of threat overwhelmed Molmo at this moment!

Despite him being dazed, his body had subconsciously reacted to the incoming threat!

Black threads rapidly enveloped his body, and in less than a tenth of a second, Molmo had been enveloped in a cocoon of black threads!

The powerful defense that Molmo had mounted was comparable to an iron wall!

Even a Platinum Rank warrior might have trouble breaking through Molmo’s defense at this moment.

Whoosh…

In the next moment, Molmo felt an awful sensation spanning across his entire body.

A line had appeared from the top of his head until the soles of his feet!

Crack!

In an instant, Molmo’s figure split into two halves!

Fresh blood burst out from the cracks!

Molmo’s body had turned into a bloody, slopping mess!

Hercules’ heart skipped a beat upon this sight.

It was at this moment that Hercules realized how easy Osse had gone on him during their training bouts.

Molmo, who, despite obtaining a power of a Devil, was easily sliced in half by Osse’s casual slash!

At such a level of injury, even if Molmo possessed the power of a Devil, it was highly unlikely for him to survive!

Hercules shook his head helplessly. He was lamenting over Molmo’s fate.

‘To think that Molmo has died so pitifully.’

However, before Molmo could fully grief over Molmo, Molmo, or more accurately, what remained of Molmo suddenly began to stir.

His remains, which had been sliced in half, suddenly began to ooze out black threads!

A thick and disgusting sound was emitted as the black threads, now more akin to a thick sludge, glued Molmo together as if he were made of mud.

“Hold back one more time, and I just might kill you for real this time.”

Osse’s gaze did not change at all. He looked at the two halves of Molmo’s “corpse”, and stated coldly.

About two seconds later, Molmo suddenly opened his eyes.

Mormo’s pupils constricted as he felt the changes in his body!

Right as he was about to die, Molmo felt his body undergoing a multitude of changes!

Within just those few seconds, Molmo’s strength had doubled once more!

“Hehehe, brat!”

A sinister voice rang out, and a blood-red skeleton appeared in Molmo’s mind’s eye.

“You should thank me for bestowing you with more power. Had it not been for me, you would have already died 10 times over!”

Molmo snorted mentally.

“Even if I die, I’ll bring you down with me!”

Molmo did not choose to attack again. Only 1/6th of the 3-minute hourglass had passed.

He slowly smoothed his breathing and looked in Osse’s direction again.

In the next moment, Molmo’s pitch-black right arm rapidly expanded. The ratio was extremely exaggerated, and on his arm, fine dragon scales appeared..

It was the appearance of a dragon claw!

“This is it!”

Osse’s calm expression finally changed. He had a savage, almost maniacal grin on his face. It looked extremely ferocious, and the corners of his mouth split open. His smile was extremely strange.

It looked extremely awful!
