The Gentleman at the End
Chapter 412 - Chapter 412 Chapter 411 Black and Red

Chapter 412: Chapter 411 Black and Red Chapter 412: Chapter 411 Black and Red Cancer Palace, the very top floor, also happens to be the highest point of the Old World, excluding the Evil Sun.

It’s also known as “The Lord’s Bedchamber.”

To get to the bedchamber, besides taking the only elevator,

one must pass through an endless corridor hung with layer upon layer of meat pads,

constantly proliferating, even ignoring the constraints of space to extend indefinitely. Its length had long surpassed the horizontal span of the Cancer Palace.

At the end of this corridor, corresponding to the bedchamber, lies a giant meat pad bed, rumored to have existed since the birth of the Old World. The entire Cancer Palace and the surrounding Nong Lake are products of this meat pad.

And this crucial core has been made into a grand bed for rest by the Lord.

Bright red, semi-transparent curtains shaded the ‘scenery’ behind the bed, where one could vaguely see a pair of legs and feet floating, but it seemed there was something else there, too.

Suddenly,

the floating legs grew still,

and the toes with hate diagrams drawn on the nails hung over the edge of the bed, lightly touching the ground, feeling all abnormal signals within the Cancer Palace. They detected something strange happening in an upper-middle area, inside a dueling cave in the arena.

A turbid voice, inaudible to the ordinary ear, spread through the bedchamber,

SSDeath Plague–no, there seems to be something else mixed in there, a kind of death from beyond this realm that the skull doesn’t control. Such an interesting outsider, what a pity it’s already been marked by ‘little sister.’SS

…

As a slash of black light rose in the dueling arena.

With four arms and four scythes, the Blood Mantis Fegre, resembling a long insect-like Reaper, momentarily stopped suppressing Jin and turned to look back at his teammate.

Although Marseillino’s irritable, bloodthirsty and arrogant nature was annoying,

he had become accustomed to it, and the two had been friendly for many years.

“This sense of death is heavy enough to threaten Little Mar, and even I could be in danger… Who on earth is this person?”

Just as he got distracted for an instant,

Jin, whose body had been sliced open by his scythe, had actually used a separate-action tactic,

allowing her lower half’s two legs to directly entangle his insect body, with strands of Red Lotus Vine growing out from between the legs, tightly wrapping around Fegre.

The upper body, with six tentacles protruding from the back, sprang high,

accompanied by the wanton cries of the Blood Baby in hand, tracing a Blood Waterfall in the air and slashing down fiercely.

Fegre immediately raised his four arms to block–clang! The block was successful… but the arm on top snapped off.

But Jin bowed her head and bit down on the broken limb, tearing it off with brute force.

At the same time,

Jin snapped her fingers, detonating her lower half!

A mushroom cloud rose within the arena,

even Jin herself suffered a blast wound, her abdomen scorched black, her body blasted towards the edge of the arena… clinging to the arena’s sidewall with tentacles, barely avoiding being disqualified for leaving the arena.

As the mushroom cloud dispersed, Blood Mantis Fegre stood unshaken,

even though his flesh was blown into disarray, his skeleton remained untouched, with even the sheen of flesh moving over his bones,

and his “Tumor Armor” continued to cling to his skeleton.

Tiny tumors grew on the surface of his bones,

Jin said with an ugly look, “Bone cancer, huh? That’s a rare variety. But I got lucky and picked up an arm.”

One of Blood Mantis Fegre’s severed arms was caught in Jin’s free left hand.

A Professional Trait unique to Jin kicked in, as lotus roots twined around the arm, extracting bone and flesh to reweave, converting the limb into an Insect Limb Scythe in her grasp.

The scene then switched to a full view of the venue,

Despite Jin’s side triggering a super explosion that covered half the arena, with both parties suffering serious injuries,

the audience’s attention was not captivated,

quickly shifting their focus back even after a brief glance at the explosion zone.

They were all eager to see what that death that cut through the sky was all about.

With the end of the Death Slash,

Hiss! The sound of blood spraying resounded,

A mass of living sawblades were flung into the air, accompanied by the high-pressure gush of bright red blood,

Mixed within it were fragments of Tumor Armor and a severed hand…Marseillino had shielded his chest with one hand at the very instant he was hit by the slash, significantly mitigating the damage.

The thing that had been bisected by Death soon turned completely black and disintegrated into nothingness.

The electric saw roared!

Marseillino used the explosive force of his legs, in conjunction with the internal movement of the chainsaw’s chain, to glide back and create distance.

A pitch-black vertical slash mark was imprinted on his front,

The armor had been completely cleaved through; had he not used his hand to shield some of it, the flesh beneath might have been in danger, showing just how terrifying the power of that slash was.

Hum!

Tumor Armor quickly exuded a blood-flesh gloss, forcibly neutralizing the death that lingered in the cut, as tiny tumors proliferated rapidly to restore the armor to its original state.

Marseillino also amputated his own left hand that had been tainted by Death,

Pop!

As the left hand dropped to the ground, a grotesque dog’s head suddenly burst out from the wrist wound, and from the dog’s mouth surged out an active one-meter long sawblade to replace the original hand structure.

He had completely calmed down and began reassessing his opponent, especially the Death Weapon that the latter had taken from the suitcase.

It was a spine with perfect curves,

The tailbone section was wrapped in cloth bandages to perfectly fit Yi Chen’s handgrip,

At the other end, the cervical vertebrae manifested a pitch-black axe handle through the mist of Death Plague emerging from the gaps, and the axe blade dripped with strange Black Liquid.

The overall length of the weapon reached one meter eighty, exceptionally heavy; it relied entirely on Yi Chen’s Physique to wield such a “Knight Battle Axe” single-handedly.

It was also a measure of necessity,

Dead Spine Lake had not yet developed a stance to fit Yi Chen, or rather Yi Chen himself did not know how to develop one, and could only choose between the ‘Knight Battle Axe’ and ‘Berserker’s Dual Axes’ tailored for the original Master.

Since one hand was needed to hold a gun, he had to make do with the battle axe stance. Although somewhat cumbersome, it was powerful and forceful.

The more Marseillino looked at the spine, the more unrest and shock filled his heart. As one from the Old World, he could easily identify the origin of the spine,

“Could this be the spine of a Death Plague Knight? No, the purity is a bit off…is it the spine of an Apprentice Knight on the verge of a breakthrough?

Could this fellow be an Apprentice Knight selected by the Original Tomb?

Impossible, if he were from the Original Tomb, he wouldn’t be able to enter Cancer Palace at all, just approaching Nong Lake would provoke an attack~ Could it be that this fellow has killed real dead from the Original Tomb, and this is his trophy?

This is too interesting~ I’ve always wanted to have a duel with a dead of the same Rank, and I didn’t expect such an opportunity to come so soon.”

Marseillino’s will to fight did not wane but grew stronger, and the dozens of electric saws protruding from his body also roared madly, the steaming blood-red steam even condensed a phantom of a ripped human behind him.

Yi Chen, watching this scene, also slightly changed his expression, murmuring:

“This guy is actually getting stronger… Talent Traits, huh? Stronger against the strong or inherently combative… The longer he fights with me, the stronger he becomes? It seems I need to finish the battle quickly.”

Before the words fell, Marseillino, like a madman, attacked once more,

Clashing frontally with the Death Spine Axe Blade using the dog’s head and electric saw that had grown from his left arm, not fearing this unknown Death, both black and red brilliance exploded in their collision.

Yi Chen, feeling the pressure from the electric saw, once again employed his movement technique and Physical foreknowledge,

But Marseillino had become familiar with it from the earlier exchange, immediately twisting his calf to leap towards the spot where the aura had shifted, always clinging tenaciously to Yi Chen without letting go, keeping the distance between them no more than three meters.

The high-speed movement and the super high-frequency collision of flesh,

Most of the Audience couldn’t keep up with such speed, only seeing two light and shadows, one black and one red, swimming and colliding in the field, the noise of ripping and cutting as if tearing their eardrums apart.

This intense duel also drove the atmosphere of the entire Duel Arena to its peak, with non-stop cheering!

Relying on his Tumor Armor and inherently belligerent Trait, Marseillino would even withstand some of the inescapable axe blade slashes with his body and retaliate with his chainsaw.

Until… Ahh!!!

A piercing scream resounded throughout the venue, even overshadowing the cheering of the Audience.
