Fortunately, He is an existence that has survived since ancient times, and His soul's resilience is far beyond that of the Dragon King, who has just been reborn through a cocoon.
The severe mental injury only greatly reduced His strength, but it was still far from enough to kill Him.
One thing to say!
Wounded wild animals are often the most dangerous!
After suffering a setback, Leviathan immediately decided to use 100% of its strength to deal with these little mice that had invaded Nibelungen.
cold!
During the battle, Cao Han's senses were fully activated, especially his perception of the surrounding environment, which allowed him to immediately detect the changes in Nibelungen.
A chilling cold, so intense it seemed to send shivers down one's spine, began to spread throughout the Nibelungen region.
Word of Power: Frosty Breath of Heaven.
A high-risk incantation recorded as number 108 on the periodic table has only a brief description of its effect—
The effect is suspected to be to unleash a chilling aura centered on the releaser, freezing the very soul.
As for the source of this brief sentence...
It was from the victim of this power of words, and the only remaining survivor, von Schneider.
However, this time the target of the Word of Power was Cao Han, a tough guy. Apart from feeling the seawater in the entire Nibelungen becoming extremely cold and his body gradually losing temperature, he did not pose any further threat.
and.
At the current rate of hypothermia, to put it bluntly, it's still a long way from killing him.
It can only be said that both sides have encountered the type of opponent they dislike the most and find the most difficult to deal with.
Unable to revert to his original dragon form, Cao Han, relying on his human form, could only try to cut down a giant tree with a knife against a massive creature like Leviathan.
Leviathan was no better off; it was skilled in all kinds of wide-area destructive spells, but unfortunately encountered such a superhuman being with stats maxed out.
Even if he were to unleash the world-destroying Word of Power, Return to the Void, which sank the entire Atlantis civilization, it would seem powerful but lack the extreme destructive power to break through the entire enemy's defenses. It would probably still be a bit short of killing Cao Han.
"Aside from being able to take a beating, he's not as threatening as Odin!"
This was Cao Han's most direct feeling after the first round of matches.
Fortunately, he had destroyed the replica Gungnir, otherwise it would have been a deadly weapon in Odin's hands.
Soul Strength: 9216 (7372)
really!
The higher the serial number of the Word of Power, the greater the cost required to activate it.
Even someone as powerful as Cao Han felt a weakness in his soul after releasing the Word of Judgment, and upon checking his personal information panel, he was right.
As expected, the part in parentheses represents his current soul strength.
Soul strength decreased by 20%.
"We can still use two or three more trials."
Cao Han kept calculating in his mind.
Word of Power: Judgment is currently the most damaging and threatening method he can use against Leviathan; the remaining methods, such as Zero and Moment, cannot cause effective damage.
Leave it to fate!
Cao Han was a decisive person by nature; looking back and forth was not his style.
If one trial isn't enough, then two; if two trials aren't enough, then three!
If they still can't defeat Leviathan, then they'll have no choice but to switch forms and start the most primitive, bloody melee.
Chapter 201 Life and Death Decision
"I wonder how many trials this unscrupulous boss can withstand..."
Slightly astonished by Cao Han's incompetent performance, Jiu De Mai was genuinely worried for her boss.
Although the unscrupulous bosses have always been shrouded in mystery and omnipotence, aside from exploiting the labor of their "nanny group".
It's as if everything in this world is under their control.
Mai Shude had always firmly believed in this, until... Cao Han's appearance completely shattered her worldview.
I thought the battle against Leviathan would be a close contest.
As a result, after less than three rounds of fighting, the scales of victory tipped almost entirely in Cao Han's favor.
The colossal sword of judgment, like the sword of Damocles, appeared one after another above Leviathan's head, slashing down on Leviathan's skull with an irresistible force.
hide?!
The Judgment Greatsword, composed entirely of the spiritual power of the fifth element, did not appear to be falling very fast, but in reality, it had already locked onto its target at the soul level the moment the power of words was activated.
There is no way to avoid it!
As for the power of these few words of divine judgment...
One can see this from the agonizing cries of Leviathan that echoed throughout the Nibelungen region.
Only Leviathan, a creature with "thick skin" that has survived from ancient times to the present, could withstand it. Any other dragon king would probably have fled after taking the first hit.
disturbed.
Although she was already quite far from the battlefield, Mai Shude still deeply felt the unease that was gradually spreading throughout the entire Nibelungen.
These are all instinctive reactions from the mixed-race aliens living in the Nibelungen.
"Damn! This thing has way too much health!"
Cao Han couldn't help but curse inwardly, but deep in his eyes was a deep weariness.
The third speech, "Judgment," consumes a full 60% of one's soul power.
The fifth element, spiritual power, has always been shrouded in mystery, and its recovery is not as simple and easy as physical strength.
Say something.
Cao Han was also hesitating whether to continue using the Word of Judgment to cleave Leviathan, as the consumption of his soul power would also diminish his combat ability.
In addition to ensuring we can handle Leviathan's desperate last-ditch efforts, we must also guard against any unforeseen circumstances that may occur at any time.
For example... that cunning old fox Odin who's been secretly scheming and plotting something.
"Humanity......"
A deep, resonant voice, tinged with a sense of vicissitude, suddenly boomed in the ears of the three: "Stop if you don't want to fight to the death."
As the dragon race that once ruled this blue planet, they must have been superior to humans in terms of intelligence. However, their racial pride made them disdain communicating with weak thieves.
however.
When faced with Cao Han, whose strength was enough to threaten his life, even the first-generation Dragon King, of noble blood, had no choice but to lower his head and communicate.
The fish died...that's for sure...
As for the internet being broken...
Cao Han appeared expressionless, but his mind was actually racing with unpredictable thoughts.
He was also trying to determine whether Leviathan was genuinely hiding a trump card that could lead to mutual destruction, or whether it was just a desperate bluff.
The first generation of the species, through the ability to regenerate by forming cocoons, can be considered a form of indirect immortality in a sense.
However, while one may achieve immortality, it has absolutely nothing to do with being immortal.
Therefore, it's understandable that Leviathan chose to "follow his heart" in the face of life and death.
Cao Han's intuition told him that it was most likely the former!
Even if he didn't know exactly what Leviathan's final trump card was, nothing more than some hidden world-destroying power of words, Cao Han was extremely confident that he could survive.
Without him.
The absolute physical strength score of 18,432 points is the biggest source of confidence!
but!
Even without turning around, Cao Han could sense, with his wide-ranging perception, that Fingel and Shude Mai, both far away on the battlefield, were in no good condition.
Especially the unknown spirit that caused a widespread cold wave throughout the Nibelungen region before.
It might not be a big deal in the short term, but if it continues to drag on, the two will face an increasingly dangerous survival environment.
The gradually decreasing temperature, the ever-depleting oxygen, and the lurking, hybrid aliens waiting for their chance to strike...
"Should we gamble with both of their lives in a desperate gamble, or play it safe and return empty-handed?"
The scales of consideration swayed back and forth in my mind.
As the saying goes, "Where there's life, there's hope," but the ever-deepening sense of crisis didn't give Cao Han time for deep reflection.
Anyway, the "key" is in Fingel's hands, and with the "bait," there's no need to worry about the fish not taking the bait.
"Okay, answer one question for us and we'll leave immediately!"
Even though the mission to defeat the Dragon King was not completed, Cao Han was not about to return empty-handed; he had to bring back some valuable intelligence.
The words fell.
While waiting for Leviathan's response, Cao Han was also secretly gathering strength in preparation for the other party to resort to desperate measures and fight to the death.
Once it really comes to that point, he won't care about anything else. He'll first give the other party a final, decisive "sword strike," and then it'll be the most beloved bloody melee.
The deep blue of the Nibelungenlied.
For a moment, only two pairs of burning golden eyes, one large and one small, remained gazing at each other.
"Ask away, human."
Leviathan was not surprised by Cao Han's choice or behavior.
After all, since the emergence of mankind, during the era of dragon rule, they have been tirelessly exploring the "knowledge" of their dragon race, including dragon script, incantations, rune alchemy, and so on.
to be honest!
The so-called hybrid species is precisely a "product" of human exploration of dragons.
