Chapter 123 Resonance from Another World

"Hoichi"

The activities on the first day of December did not stop.

He pressed down with the [Ox] talisman wrapped around his left hand, his fist, full of power, slamming into the center of the crack.

The force is very solid.

He could feel the bone hitting bone. A piece of the thing's rib bulged out of its chest cavity, and its entire body flew sideways, smashing into the road and creating a ditch four or five meters long.

Crushed asphalt and grayish-blue slime kept splashing to both sides.

However, it quickly flipped out of the ditch.

Less than a second after the first day of the twelfth lunar month withdrew its fist, it had already stood up.

The cracks in the ribs heal differently from the thermal damage repair caused by the Dragon Talisman. The Law Separation Wound caused by the Tiger Talisman closes very slowly, but it is indeed closing.

Five seconds.

The cracks have completely disappeared.

December 1st memorized the number. The Tiger Talisman's damage was repaired every five seconds. He had to stack the next attack within five seconds.

He rushed forward again.

[Rabbit] The spell accelerates the attack, allowing you to cut in from the front.

This time, that thing reacted.

The moment its right foot stomped down, the ground cracked open beneath December 1st's foot. The crack followed its footstep, extending at almost the same speed as the rabbit charm.

On the first day of the twelfth month, move to the right.

The crack then turned.

The law of the earth. It doesn't need to see him; as long as his feet are on the ground, it can track his location.

Thinking of this, he kicked hard.

[Chicken] Talisman.

His feet left the ground, his body gliding through the air. The crack continued to extend for more than ten meters beneath his feet, but he found no target; the shattered road surface collapsed into a deep ditch in the white mist.

The new moon of December swept swiftly over its head, and hands carrying the power of the Tiger talisman pressed down rapidly.

At the same time, the thing raised its head.

Its mouth opened, and a high-pressure jet of water spewed from deep within its throat. The water, mixed with fine rock particles, struck December 1st's hand and bounced it off.

The water jet remained powerful, sweeping straight across his right shoulder.

A corner of the dog charm's defensive layer was sheared off. A piece of fabric was torn from the shoulder, and a sharp, icy pain shot through the skin.

He instantly retreated to a distance of ten meters.

The [Horse] talisman was activated, and the wound began to heal.

On the first day of December, it glanced ahead at the thing—it didn't chase after it. It remained crouched in place, its mouth still opening and closing, saliva dripping onto the ground and causing new crystalline shells to form.

But its eyes never left him.

Something was changing in those dark red eyes without pupils.

This change was seen in the Shadow Soldiers before the first day of December.

It is learning.

I just took two hits from the Tiger Talisman Curse. The first one healed in five seconds. The second one was blocked by a water jet.

It has already begun looking for ways to counter the Tiger Talisman.

The new moon of December doesn't want to give it any more time.

He took a deep breath and pressed all six talismans onto his hands at the same time.

Rabbit — speed up.

Ox – Enhancement.

Tiger – Gathering strength.

Snakes—hidden.

Dogs – for defense.

Chicken—floating in the air.

He unleashed six-tenths of his power, activating all six talismans simultaneously.

As his body endured this strain, every blood vessel bulged outwards. The runes on his arms lit up, golden light shining through his skin, as if something was trying to squeeze out from between his bones.

The snake charm concealed his presence.

The chicken talisman made him float 30 centimeters off the ground.

The Rabbit Talisman accelerates activation.

He disappeared into the white mist.

The thing stepped on the ground.

The laws of the earth spread out in all directions, like a net searching—but it found nothing. The new moon was not on the ground. The serpent charm blocked out sound and smell. Both of its tracking methods failed simultaneously.

A three-second window.

The new moon of December appears directly behind it.

His hands came together. The Tiger Talisman and the Ox Talisman overlapped, their combined power enveloping the amplified physical impact, and he slammed his palm into its back.

Three of the bones in his spine were shattered by this blow.

The power of harmony poured in from the point of contact, forcibly tearing apart the fused structure of the two laws. Cracks spread from its back to its chest, splitting its body in two with gray-blue and dark red hues.

It crashed face down onto the road, its body twitching twice.

The new moon of December did not stop. He landed on both feet, the ox charm was fully charged, and stepped on the back of its head.

Its head was crushed into the road surface, and the surrounding asphalt began to crack.

It braced itself on the ground with all four limbs and exerted force, its fingers digging deep into the asphalt, its muscles bulging, and all four joints working together—the feet of the new December were lifted up.

Although the effect of using all the spells is not as strong as using a single spell.

But the monster in front of us is really powerful.

It rolled over.

In a flash, December 1st's vision blurred—its hand had already reached his forearm. Five excessively long fingers gripped his left arm, the fingertips digging into his flesh.

The moment they made contact, December felt her own power of laws begin to fight against the intruder.

The low temperature of the Water Law seeped into the blood vessels of his forearm from his fingertips. The immense pressure of the Earth Law squeezed inward from the surface of his bones. The corrosive force generated by the fusion of the two laws began to devour the flesh and skin of his forearm.

On the first day of December, I felt my left forearm begin to freeze from the inside out. The blood vessels were hardening.

Tiger Talisman.

The power of harmony flowed into its wrist, and its five fingers loosened for a moment due to the separation caused by the laws.

In an instant, he pulled his left arm out and jumped back five meters.

When he landed, his right leg even buckled slightly, and his left arm, from the wrist to the elbow, had turned grayish-white.

He tried making a fist.

The fingers can move.

A milky white light instantly climbed onto the skin's surface, and the grayish-white light began to fade, but very slowly. The reverse warming, spreading from the elbow to the wrist, felt like melting a frozen iron pipe with each inch it retreated.

pain.

The kind of pain that feels like it's drilling into your bones.

On the first day of December, he looked down at his left arm. The horse talisman was repairing, but at a much slower pace than usual. Its corrosive power was different from ordinary damage.

He raised his head.

The thing in front of me had already stood up.

The three broken bone fragments on its back have regrowed. The cracks in its back have closed. Much faster than last time.

Moreover, its standing posture has changed.

The two legs, with their reverse joints, finally found the most suitable way to exert force, and the angle of the knee bend was just right to firmly plant on the ground. The hands hung at the sides, and the ten overly long fingers slowly clenched.

It adapted to its body.

I've completely adapted.

The left arm of the new moon in December is not yet fully healed. The warming effect of the horse talisman has progressed to the middle of the forearm, but the wrist and fingers are still grayish-white and make a cracking sound when moved.

It moved.

Without any warning—the white mist in the field of vision was torn in two, and its fist was already there.

He dodged to the side on the first day of the twelfth month.

The fist grazed his ear.

The force of the punch shaved off a layer of skin from his earlobe.

On the first day of the twelfth month, his right fist came flying and slammed into its abdomen. But this time, the fist only went in less than half a centimeter before its abdominal muscles tightened, bouncing him back.

At the same time, its knee came up and hit December 1st squarely in the chest.

In an instant, he was sent flying backward.

He crashed heavily into a utility pole, which broke in half, and he and the broken pole fell to the ground together.

My mouth tasted rusty.

He coughed, and blood splattered onto his shirt.

The Horse Talisman activated immediately. The crack in his ribs began to heal. But the dull pain in his chest did not subside from the force of that knee strike; the enhancement from the Ox Talisman was simply too much for him.

The opponent is stronger than him.

And it's more than one level bigger.

He crawled out of the broken branches. In the white mist, the thing was walking towards him. It moved slowly, each step leaving a grayish-white crystalline imprint on the ground.

On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, he spat out the blood in his mouth.

It was still twenty meters away from him.

The Tiger Talisman could injure it, but its healing speed increased rapidly. The Ox Talisman's power was far too weak. Even with all six Paths Talismans activated, it only managed to create a three-second window of suppression before being overturned.

It is still getting stronger.

Each time it gets knocked down and gets back up, its reaction time becomes faster. Its speed increases, its strength increases, and its resistance to spells also increases.

If this drags on any longer, it won't just be a matter of not being able to fight—it will be a matter of not being able to escape.

ten meters.

On the first day of December, I closed my eyes briefly.

Deep within the chest cavity, the shadow core was still throbbing.

Six out of ten.

This is the level of liberation he has maintained since killing the Shadow Lord. He's unsure if the world would notice if he raised it any higher.

But now there is no other choice.

five meters.

Its hand was already outstretched. Five long, gray-blue fingers were spread out, their tips aimed at his chest.

On the first day of the twelfth month, I raised my head.

"seven."

His voice was very soft.

Something inside my body has broken off.

An invisible and intangible layer, which had always enveloped his power, was now torn away by his own hands.

Colorful light shone through his skin.

When the thing's fingers touched the light, smoke began to rise from the tips.

It withdrew its hand slightly.

On the first day of the twelfth month, I stood in the light and looked at it.

The power of the runes within the body was no longer six separate lines, but rather twisted into one.

Seven out of ten.

He clenched his right fist.

Suddenly, the ground shattered.

It wasn't that he stepped on it and broke it, but rather the change in air pressure generated by his clenched fist that shattered the road surface within a three-meter radius beneath his feet.

The thing took a step back.

This is the first time it has moved backward since it hatched.
