Without this convergence point, the energy within the entire system cannot function.

He stared at Reid's body, remembering that Reid had also concealed his true power under the gaze of divine sense.

Perhaps after drinking from the Fountain of Youth, the body's energy circuits will undergo some kind of structural change.

As he pondered, his figure suddenly flashed and appeared in front of Reed, following the shadows.

Chapter 466 You came back so quickly! (Long chapter, please vote!)

The piercing alarm echoed throughout the research institute, and one by one, 'doctors' in surgical gowns began to rush to the first floor.

Teams of fully armed mercenaries were advancing underground in an orderly fashion.

A black jeep approached from a distance. Just before it reached the gate of the research institute, the vehicle suddenly swerved and slammed on the brakes, the black tires screeching as they rubbed against the ground.

Thick smoke and dust blanketed the steps in front of the research institute.

A man dressed in a mercenary uniform jumped out of the car.

Immediately afterwards, a fully armed mercenary came forward.

"what happens?"

The man was Zadi, a mercenary officer. He had just left the research institute when he was called back by the alarm.

"Enemy attack, Lord Reid issued the alert, but we can't contact him now."

The mercenary said quickly.

Where was Mr. Reed last seen?

Zadi asked quickly.

"According to the surveillance footage, it seems he went down to the sixth basement level."

The mercenary answered quickly.

The sixth basement level is where the safe is located.

Zadi seemed to be deep in thought. As he hurriedly entered the research institute, he quickly said, "Arrange for the evacuation of the 'doctors' and 'patients.' They are important assets of the institute and cannot be lost. Then completely seal off the institute and don't let anyone in."

"Yes!"

The mercenary answered immediately, then asked in a low voice, "And... Lord Reed?"

None of the mercenaries had permission to go down to the sixth floor. The only one with that permission, Coles, had already been taken into custody.

"I'll go see for myself."

Zadi spoke quickly as he strode into the research institute.

Inside the safe

In the very short time after Heo 'disappeared', Reid's claws suddenly stabbed at the place where Heo was hiding, and he had roughly determined where Heo was hiding.

But his attack missed, and Heo's body suddenly appeared in front of him.

This is the teleportation ability of 'Night Walker'.

Reid looked surprised. This ability to teleport over long distances was clearly beyond his expectations. He had never seen such a powerful ability in 'Shadow' before.

However, he did not retreat, but instead raised his hands, which were covered with bone armor, to block He Ao's sword light.

The sword in He Ao's hand was one he had found for the C-rank enemy he had killed, so he was well aware of its power.

The sword could not break through his defenses.

However, He Ao's strength surprised him slightly.

He was well aware of his own strength. The doctor said that his physical attributes were among the best in the C-class, and with his tough skeletal armor, no one in the C-class class could rival him.

Killing a C-level enemy is as easy for him as killing a rat.

If the doctor hadn't strictly forbidden him from revealing this state, he would have gone to kill Heo himself long ago.

He originally thought that Heo was at most a relatively strong C-rank, and that killing Heo would be a piece of cake after he unleashed his new form.

However, the strength that He Ao is currently displaying makes him feel threatened.

In several exchanges, He Ao showed that he was even stronger than him.

Coupled with He Ao's exquisite movement techniques and that bizarre 'teleportation' ability, he could clearly sense that if He Ao hadn't been unable to break through...

With his bone armor providing such protection, his body has probably been pierced countless times by now.

Compared to Reid's surprise, Heo's state was much more stable.

He had encountered too many enemies and all sorts of troubles. The lack of an energy gathering point and the problem of the hard bone armor that Reed showed were troublesome, but not enough to surprise him or make him lose his composure.

He could clearly sense that Reed had little combat experience. Although his fighting style was organized, it was more inclined to overwhelm others with sheer force.

However, Reed was very smart, and He could clearly feel that he was constantly learning and growing in battle.

If he can grow step by step by being tested on various challenges, he may very well become a terrifying killer in the future.

However, not everyone is lucky enough to encounter beginner monsters in the starting village and have the opportunity to grow stronger.

The short sword that Heo swung at Reid left a mark in the air, and then his figure vanished instantly. Reid's outstretched hand, which had caught the short sword, also passed through the void.

However, his movements did not stop, and two sharp claws at his waist suddenly reached out to grab behind him.

Heo, who had appeared behind him, disappeared again.

Reid gradually calmed down. Although Heo was strong, he couldn't break through Reid's defense.

His claws could pierce through He'ao completely if they struck him, while He'ao's short sword could only leave a small mark on his body.

He can make countless mistakes, but Heo can only make one.

He still holds an absolute advantage in this battle.

After analyzing the current situation, he began to quickly reduce his range of motion and conserve his energy.

He is growing rapidly.

At the same time, his claws lashed out to his right side.

He Ao's figure, which had appeared on the right, disappeared again.

This time, his judgment was accurate again.

left.

Immediately afterwards, his last two claws lashed out to the left.

He Ao's figure disappeared from the left.

The next second, He Ao appeared in front of Reid.

Reid remained calm. He reached out his hand to block Heo's attack from the thickest part of his bone armor.

However, this time Heo did not swing his sword to stab, but instead grabbed his arm. After activating his super memory, Heo was stronger than Reid, and Reid was actually immobilized on the spot.

Before Reid could react, he felt a warm current easily pass through the hard bone armor and enter his body.

This was precisely the divine consciousness that He Ao had mobilized.

The difficulty of guiding divine consciousness through Reid's body was far greater than that within Aini's, but the amount of divine consciousness that He Ao mobilized was also far greater than when he helped Aini 'cleanse her marrow'.

In an instant, the profound divine sense split into countless tiny strands, like tiny swimming fish, seeping into every inch of Reid's muscles.

Reid realized something was wrong at that moment. He suddenly grabbed Heo in the opposite direction and then used his other claws to attack in this direction.

He didn't know what He Ao had done, but he planned to turn the tables and kill He Ao right there.

However, because they had just attacked Heo, the three pairs of claws had been drawn to a distant place and could not return immediately.

And at that very moment, He Ao

They finally figured out the flow of energy within Reed's body and found the focal point of that power.

At the same time, Reid held onto Heo tightly, a ferocious smile on his bone-armored face.

"go to hell!"

Sharp claws stabbed fiercely at He Ao's still bleeding body.

boom--

That was the sound of claws hitting the metal floor.

Right in front of Reid, in his hand, Heo's figure vanished in a phantom.

The flesh and blood of the body slipped away from his fingertips like flowing water.

"asshole,"

Reed realized he had been tricked, and he growled angrily as all his claws lashed out.

At this moment, Heo, hidden in the shadows, was quietly watching Reed's movements.

The divine consciousness he held was almost gone.

Immersing one's divine sense into a living being consumes far more energy than normal use.

After his advancement, he had a total of six divine senses. He consumed a little more than one when he completed the super memory ritual on the Verola. After entering the dungeon, various battles and cleansing Aini's marrow consumed a lot more. With the consumption just now, he only had a little more than three divine senses left.

However, the results matched the expenditure, and He Ao figured out Reid's physical structure.

Unlike normal humans, Reed has a flattened, spherical organ in his chest cavity, between his two lungs. This organ contains intense energy and is the energy source and control center for Reed's entire body.

Furthermore, this organ possesses a mysterious property, capable of concealing its internal energy.

Although transcendence is, in a sense, a step toward inhumanity, it is clear that Red has gone further down that path than others.

Once the energy convergence point was found, everything became much easier.

He Ao gripped the short sword tightly, his faint divine sense spreading across the blade.

His figure vanished from the spot in an instant.

it's here!

The sharp claws in the sky suddenly fell, rushing towards Reed's left front, near the refrigerator.
