Revive Rome: Wait! Why not make the empress fall in love with me first?-Chapter 383 - 181 Assassinate the Demigod

The Storm and Flesh clashed against each other once again, like two armies entangled in an endless battle.

Rasul had long since retreated to a safe distance. Had he stayed within the range of the shockwave, he would probably have been reduced to bones by now.

Even with the simplest use of their Law Ability, the two Demigods still displayed an irresistible force, and the entire appearance of the cavern had been completely altered.

The violently shaken rock walls, torn by the Storm and eroded by the toxin-infused Flesh, wreaked havoc throughout the cavern, leaving it in disarray.

The situation of the two Demigods on the battlefield inevitably slid toward a war of attrition.

After all, one was covered in indestructible Compressed Air Armor, the other possessed a physique that rapidly regenerated health and ignored physical damage. Without employing higher Law Abilities, it was impossible for either to achieve swift victory.

Alberto took another half step back, as intense and invisible Vibration disseminated from around him, forcing the encroaching Agrippina to retreat.

He then tore off the layer of air contaminated with Toxins from his surface and swiftly condensed another mass of air, filling it in.

Every use of the Compressed Air Law Power inevitably consumed some of his Spirituality. By his calculations, he had already lost nearly 32% of his Spirituality.

Similarly, the use of Law Power for the Toxins attacking his Air Armor also consumed an equal amount of Spirituality. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

Continuing this fierce battle would result in only two outcomes, either the insane woman would wear him down alive, or both would wear out, leaving him on the verge of losing control of his Spirituality.

Neither outcome was worthwhile.

However, since the first attempt Alberto made to escape by flying which resulted in the White-clothed Assassin knocking him down, Agrippina began to guard against it, always maintaining a close proximity.

Whenever he attempted to rise into the air, Agrippina would use her Flesh Transformation Ability to forcibly drag him back to the ground.

What a lunatic, Alberto thought as he continued to counter her attacks while gunfire sounded behind him.

Rasul had retreated to a safe distance and stood behind a stalactite armed with a handgun, idly shooting at Alberto.

At first, Alberto would use the Storm or Vibration to deflect or shatter the bullets, later he simply ignored them, letting them hit his dense Air Armor, which was impenetrable anyway.

"How much longer do you intend to torment me!" Alberto roared in frustration.

"Until you die!" Agrippina transformed into a colossal arm of flesh, which swept across and struck Alberto at the waist, sending him flying and embedding him into the corroded cavern wall.

The signal had arrived! Rasul’s eyes sharpened immediately.

Having Alberto embedded in the wall was a secret signal Agrippina had agreed with everyone beforehand, indicating that Alberto’s Spirituality had fallen below three-quarters, and it was time to use the specially prepared Toxin.

If they could penetrate his Compressed Air Armor and let the Toxin seep into his vaporized surface, it would rapidly dissolve his Spirituality.

In theory, it was best to reduce it below half, as then the Toxin would not take longer than 0.2 seconds to dissolve the Spirituality. However, in reality, with a Spirituality loss nearing 40%, Alberto would likely become desperate, leaving too many variables to consider in subsequent actions.

Thus, the group chose three-quarters as the threshold, as it took about 0.5 seconds from activation to the depletion of Spirituality, barely enough for Aske to take action and withdraw in time—though this also posed a great risk.

Alberto braced his hands against the cave wall and extracted himself from the embedded slot. Agrippina opened her mouth and exhaled a long breath outward, and a pale red mist quickly spread, filling the entire cave.

This toxic fog greatly obscured the visibility inside the cave, and it was also highly acidic and corrosive, but it didn’t contain any Law of Toxin, so it was unable to penetrate or pollute Alberto’s Air Armor.

The latter rose to a height of half a meter, his gaze sweeping through the mist.

Clearly, the purpose of releasing the mist was not to harm him, but merely to obstruct visibility and distract. So, was she deploying her trump card or, unable to sustain the energy drain, planning to withdraw quietly?

Alberto’s spirit tensed rapidly, as he once again silently activated his ability.

Shock ultra-sonic waves.

Similar to the detection mechanism of bats, this high-frequency vibration in the air, after striking a target and reflecting back, could provide the ability user with the location and outline of the other party.

Hence, the demigod sensed that at the edge of the cave wall directly in front, Agrippina had transformed into a massive creature of flesh and was continuously changing shape—she indeed was brewing some kind of trump card.

And that annoying white-clothed assassin in the distance was rushing towards him, dragging a longsword, clearly intending to temporarily entangle him and prevent him from interfering with Agrippina’s transformation.

Thus, Alberto subconsciously made the "most rational" tactical move:

He fired an Air Bullet toward the approaching assassin to briefly delay his movement while accumulating and launching a fierce vibration, which traveled in a straight line along the ground to explode beneath Agrippina’s feet, completely interrupting her Flesh Transformation.

The invisible Air Bullet tore through the crimson mist, spiraling toward the figure in white. The latter swung the Dragon Bone Longsword horizontally, splitting the Air Bullet with a single strike.

He continued to charge forward at full speed, and while he swung his sword, Alberto seized the brief delay to unleash a big move. Frenzied and concentrated high-frequency Vibration Wave shot straight from the ground towards Agrippina, making the entire section of the ground moan under the unbearable load.

Disguised as the white-robed Rasul, Aske had already charged to Alberto’s side, holding the Dragon Bone Longsword that suddenly eerily vibrated.

No, that was! Alberto, who possessed the "Vibration" Law, turned pale as he sensed the vibration on the other’s sword blade containing some peculiar Law.

A Law higher than his own "Vibration," incomprehensible to him.

However, he had no time to dodge, as a Transcendent that chose "Storm" as his Primary Sequence, he wasn’t distinguished by his Reaction Speed. The Dragon Bone Longsword tore through the dense Air Armor like piercing paper, plunging directly into his fully gaseous body.

Star Nine Forms. Breaking Heavy.

Realizing the dire situation, Alberto hesitated no further and launched his ultimate survival move, a high-frequency, orthogonal Law-Lever Superpower Vibration, capable of tearing through most solid matter in this world, which suddenly expanded outwards from his body.

However, his opponent simply pulled the longsword again, the emerging Vibration Wave torn and obliterated. Precisely, it seemed his Spirituality lost connection with the source of vibration inside his body in an instant.

Star Nine Forms. Spirit Shattering.

The vibration still buzzed within his gaseous body, but without the control and traction of consciousness, it merely oscillated mechanically like a pendulum in place.

Afterward, his Spirituality rapidly dissipated, sliding into an almost uncontrollable brink.
