Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 16 Second Return
In an instant, Xia Shou felt that some of his emotions were forcibly pulled out by a mysterious force, and those emotions asked him where he should go next.

Xia Shou knew that it was murderous intent.

Pre-kill targets - Blood Demon, Tamer!

The moment he made the decision, Xia Shou saw the numbers on the ruler in his left eye change rapidly.

Deep in his soul, the power of [Self-Destruction], which had already dimmed, became usable again because of the pinnacle refresh effect.

Afterwards, Xia Shou played all his cards one by one according to the order that had been determined long ago!

[Self-Destruction] is activated!
Xia Shou got another chance to rewind his death.

This time the death rollback is only one minute. If the blood demon and the tamer are not killed after one minute, you must pay the price of "reaching the pinnacle" of self-destruction and be forced to die and roll back.

However, even if it was only one minute, it was enough for him.

Then, Xia Shou crushed all the residues collected so far without hesitation.

Xia Shou had already used the physical strengthening before launching the Pinnacle, and now, he was using the three residues obtained in the classroom!
[Battle Continuation] A skill that allows a person to continue fighting tenaciously even when seriously injured!
[Imperfect Vacuum] can ignore part of the air resistance, allowing the speed to break through the conventional limit!

[Body Fixation] Let the body organs use the "healthy body" as a reference template and fix them in their correct positions.

Of course, there is also the fourth residue obtained from the ruins, [Spirit Strike]!
"Perpetual Injury, activate!" Xia Shou activated a skill that could prevent the opponent from recovering from his injuries.

This may be the most crucial skill for him to defeat the blood demon.

As the last skill entered cooldown, Xia Shou entered the most complete combat state.

At this moment, he did not need to pay any negative costs of any skills and could only enjoy the advantages brought by the skills. He only prayed that in this pinnacle minute, his sinking depth would not exceed 1300 meters.

Xia Shou stomped his feet on the ground fiercely. His strong physique gave him extraordinary explosive power. Coupled with the completely unobstructed air friction, his speed exceeded the speed limit that humans can reach under the normal laws of physics!

Xia Shou's figure disappeared instantly, leaving only a human outline outlined by dust at the place where he had been standing.

In an instant, he arrived in front of the blood demon!
As the distance got closer, the size difference between the two sides became more obvious. Xia Shou stood in front of the Blood Demon as if he was looking up at a small mountain.

"Lord Xia Shou, now I can deprive it of its vision." Alice said behind him.

"very good!"

Xia Shou punched the blood demon's abdomen with all his strength, and the feedback from his fist was a feeling of pure liquid!

The opponent's physical strength was much weaker than he had imagined, and it could even be said that he had no defense at all! The blood demon didn't seem to be good at defense!

A large ball of blood exploded and splattered under the huge impact. With just one punch, he left a huge dent on the blood demon's body that was visible to the naked eye.

The dent he made did not recover, which meant that the permanent injury had successfully taken effect!
No, to be precise, it was the pinnacle of permanent injury that played a role!

"How could he possibly hurt the Blood Demon?!" the tamer said in shock.

Thanks to the characteristics of the resentful spirit, the tamer has a beast-like intuition about the strengths and weaknesses of the extraordinary and weird.

He knew very well what Xia Shou's high-speed movement at that moment and the dent left on the blood demon's body meant.

This means that this guy's abnormality is on par with the Blood Demon, or even superior to the Blood Demon!
Moreover, not only was the abnormality superior to the Blood Demon, but what he attacked was not just the projection of the Blood Demon in physical reality, but a more fundamental existence.

And... not only did he injure the opponent, he also suppressed the Blood Demon's super recovery ability!
"Woooo~"

The black panther on the ground let out a dying whimper, and the trainer suddenly came to his senses, and his eyes, which had just lit up, instantly dimmed.

"Xiao Hei, wait a minute, you can't leave yet. This guy might win, we have to help him in the end!"

At this moment, the animal trainer seemed to be back in the damp rainy alley many years ago.

If Xiao Hei had not made a contract with him that day, he would have become food for wild dogs.

Later, he used his body as a shell to accommodate the other person, and relied on the other person's strength to survive normally in this world.

And now, he knew that both of them had reached the end of their lives.

Although he was ordered to come in and eat this unknown combatant, it was only to increase the chances of capturing the Blood Demon's House.

But now, the tactics with the highest success rate have undoubtedly changed, and the original plans are naturally all invalid!

"let's go!"

The trainer stroked the black panther's body, and the surging flames flowed along his arms into his cloak. As the black cloak turned to ashes like burning feathers, his terrifying body covered with seams was completely exposed to the air.

That scar was definitely not something a living person could have. Only those who had seen the true face of hell would have such a horrific mark. The beast tamer endured the burning of the black flames, raised his head and roared.

His face split in the middle, and a translucent animal-shaped outline emerged from his flesh like an insect pupa. The illusory animal shadow and his human body merged and squeezed together.

The already dim body of the leopard solidified again, and the illusory gap was filled by the real flesh of the living, allowing this supernatural power at the moment of death to remain in the world for a longer time.

This was definitely not a howl of pain. A wounded person would never be able to make such a powerful howl. The fighting spirit returned to its peak in the last breath of life on the verge of death.

The power of the vengeful spirit was completely mastered by the host. This final price also brought the final reward.

At the same time, Xia Shou, who was in the fight, lowered his head to dodge the blood demon's claw attack. The blood demon's slender arm brushed past his scalp, and the blood splashed from its body turned into a sharp blade in mid-air and pierced Xia Shou's body.

A large piece of his abdomen was cut out by the bloody blade, and his internal organs were visible to the naked eye, but the organs, which had lost the support of ribs and flesh, did not leak out from the wound.

[Body Fixation] firmly stitched his broken body together, as solid as a puppet held together by invisible threads.

He is now a fighting machine that will not fall apart until the last moment!
Xia Shou clenched his teeth silently and threw another punch.

The combination of superhuman physique and [Incomplete Vacuum] allows the striking speed to exceed the speed of sound!
The powerful kinetic energy pierced a large hole in the blood demon's abdomen. The spurting blood spread on the floor of the chapel above his head, staining the inverted cross red.

The blood demon in front of him let out a fierce roar that was neither human nor beast, and the roar seemed to tear the eardrums... The attacks just now only angered it.

It was just a roar, but the blood in Xia Shou's veins seemed to boil as if responding to the call.

The blood demon waved his hands again, and more blood rain turned into sharp blades and flew towards him. However, when these blades were about to hit Xia Shou, they suddenly deviated and all flew to one side of the corner.

Xia Shou glanced to the side and saw the beast tamer half-kneeling on the ground with black flames burning all over his body, his body full of bloody blades.

The black flames burned his body but could not burn the scarlet blade.

Without any words, Xia Shou knew that it was the animal trainer who helped him just now.

Although the opponent could not confront the Blood Demon head-on, his strength seemed to be able to distort the trajectory of projectiles.

I have to say, it really helped a lot.

But judging from the trainer's appearance, he probably won't be able to hold on for much longer.

But it doesn’t matter, Xia Shou only has one minute.

The ground of the church shook violently. The blood demon, whose vision was deprived by Alice, struck the ground with his strange long arms.

The claws made of liquid are sharper than the blades pressed from alloy, and they can easily carve vertical and horizontal grooves on the exquisite relief.

The monster waved its arms wildly, scattering blood from its body, and using the condensed blood crystal blades to kill everything around it.

This offensive should have wiped out all living beings around, but thanks to the final assistance of the beastmaster, these attacks were completely disintegrated, allowing Xia Shou to focus all his attention on the blood demon's limb attacks.

At this time, 38 seconds had passed since the pinnacle launch.

After half a minute of fighting, Xia Shou was covered in wounds and had lost more than 70% of his blood.

Under normal circumstances he should have died, but relying on the power of "battle continuation", he used fighting spirit as fuel and his body still faithfully fulfilled its obligation to fight.

Gradually, Xia Shou figured out the blood demon's attack pattern. Although the opponent was very strong, he seemed to be a monster without intelligence.

Its frantic attacks are instinctive. When it swings one arm backward, it often launches a low-level sweep. When it raises its arm above its head, it strikes violently... just like a BOSS's pre-swing.

“Aa ...

The blood demon roared towards the sky, and visible ripples appeared in the red air.

The next second, it raised its legs and stomped down hard!
Xia Shou knew he had to dodge, but it was too late!

A large amount of blood gushed out from the soles of the blood demon's feet and spread in all directions.

Xia Shou had seen this move once before. What was going to be formed next was a forest of bloody spears.
The crisscrossing forest of crystal spears pierced his entire body. Even with the support of multiple residues, Xia Shou's body lost its ability to move. Even the animal trainer in the distance, and Su Weiyu who was waiting for an opportunity farther away, were all pierced like sieves.

Death came as expected.

Rollback triggered!
