’Since it’s a creature of flesh and blood, its soul might actually be a weak point. With such a powerful body, its soul may be fragile.’

"Ugh—"

However, after unleashing this move, Lu Cang saw a ghastly white light flicker over the entire city!

But it hadn’t torn out any soul!

He could only hear a bloodcurdling scream coming from within the city!

The next moment!

SWOOSH!

SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH!

Inside the city, the flesh contracted like cannons, then erupted!

It shot toward him like a volcanic eruption!

"Tsk."

"Did I make it angry?"

Lu Cang flew away from the cliff at incredible speed!

Not even two seconds after he fled the cliff—

BOOM!

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM—

Mountain-sized chunks of flesh came crashing down one after another!

And after these chunks of flesh exploded, numerous monsters of bone and sinew flew out from within.

’It comes with a Summoning ability?’

WHOOSH!

An Arrow flew toward him.

CLANG!

It struck his outer Shield and was blocked directly by the Water Shield.

「Arcane Magic: Magic Control Hand (Tier Four) (Level 301)」

The prototype for this Magic was the Tier Three Mage’s Hand, an Arcane Magic spell.

It was like an extra pair of extended, very flexible hands.

In reality, it had no combat or killing power.

But the difficulty of casting it was Tier Three.

The Tier of a Magic spell didn’t necessarily mean a higher Tier was more powerful; it could also simply mean it was more difficult to cast.

After this Magic underwent Ascension, the hands became stronger and more powerful. Their control was also more flexible, and they could extend farther—to any distance within one kilometer.

Lu Cang took the Arrow in his Magic Hand.

He used two Identification Scrolls.

Bone Arrow, laced with blood poison.

Poisoning causes blood corruption and requires a Blood Cleansing Potion to be cured.

’This Demon... has quite a few Forms.’

The distance was now gradually closing, and Lu Cang put on a pair of glasses.

「Observation Mirror」

A masterpiece by a Mechanician and an Enchanter, priced at 20,000 Gold Coins.

It could reveal a Demon’s potential weaknesses, serving some of the functions of an Observer.

It just wasn’t as comprehensive as a real Observer.

It required an infusion of Magic Power to use and would overheat with prolonged use.

Expensive, and with many limitations.

But the ability to see additional weaknesses meant its value was bound to be high.

Lu Cang gave a quick glance and saw numerous frames pop up on the lenses.

It seemed to be performing an analysis.

’A Mechanician’s masterpiece, it really has a high-tech feel.’

’In this world of sword and Magic, technology is also so ingenious... But Mechanicians are extremely rare on the Ruelun Continent. Technology isn’t valued, and Lu Cang has barely seen any.’

It seemed this continent lacked the right environment for Mechanicians to advance.

WHOOSH!

As he flew, thousands of long, blood-red whips shot out in pursuit of him.

The Humming Hunter flying alongside him immediately cleared a path with its twin blades!

The twin blades slashed through the air!

In an instant, they severed all the intestine-like whips of flesh!

However—

These fleshy whips, which fell like rain, actually began to Rebirth in mid-air right after being cut!

One of the whips landed on the Humming Hunter, instantly swelled up, and wrapped around its entire body.

It bound it into a tight bundle on the spot!

The flesh squeezed!

SQUISH!

It actually killed the Humming Hunter.

’Truly... not to be underestimated.’

’I thought it was just a probing attack I could ignore, but I didn’t expect it to hide a killing blow.’

’A Tier Five Nation Destruction Level Demon... I really can’t underestimate it.’

Lu Cang already had all his Shields active.

As for the corpses... he just kept flying and dropping them along the way, not caring where they landed or how the enemy dealt with them.

Anyway, he started by making preparations on the outskirts.

"Weaknesses..."

THUMP—THUMP—THUMP—

Lu Cang saw several locations within the city where hearts were pulsating vigorously.

’They look like weak points.’

But a single glance told him they weren’t the real weaknesses.

’They’re meant to be deceptive?’

’What would happen if I attacked those hearts?’

Lu Cang speculated internally but ultimately decided against it.

’It’s best not to perform a Chaotic Strike on something the enemy is practically begging you to hit...’

His gaze swept back and forth.

Finally, Lu Cang spotted an inconspicuous blood vessel. It was like a water pipe, running alongside other vessels deep into the city.

「Weakness—Aorta」

’Found it.’

Lu Cang raised his Magic Staff—

The blood vessel wouldn’t flee. Although it was a weak point, its defenses were likely not so simple. The toughness and hardness of the flesh were actually quite high.

’Instant White Flash might not be able to penetrate it directly.’

A colorful Source gathered at the tip of Lu Cang’s Magic Staff.

SWOOSH!

In almost an instant, the Instant White Flash reached the blood vessel. The moment it struck the vessel’s outer wall, it immediately transformed!

「Source·Penetrating Ice Crystal (Tier Three) (Level 301)」

CRACK—

A layer of frost erupted on the blood vessel’s outer skin.

At the same time, a spike of Ice pierced directly through its outer skin and into the interior.

This Magic specialized in penetration.

It could bypass a hard-to-destroy outer layer, directly forming Ice to penetrate the interior.

But there was one condition... the inside couldn’t be solid.

It had to be liquid or air.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to form an ice crystal directly inside to pierce through.

The ice crystal passed through—

And the ice crystal that had penetrated the interior transformed once again.
