Thoughts raced through his mind, but only a moment passed in the real battle.

Mr. Black's attack directly created opportunities for the others.

Nineteen took out a mechanical gauntlet thicker than her thigh and attached it to her arm.

She hadn't dared wear such a heavy gauntlet that would affect her agility during the retreat, but now that they were trapped in close combat, she had no reservations.

Looking at its ancient design, it didn't seem to be a modern technological product, but more like an ancient alchemical creation.

As she gathered power, blue energy runes lit up immediately. A visible ripple, as if distorting space, condensed around her fists...

At this moment, Qian Tiao also switched to two longswords, one red and one black.

Dark spiritual power poured in, causing a strange red glow to flow through one blade, while the other was as black as ink, with black mist rising from it.

Even more terrifying was the saber energy accumulating on her body, giving people a stinging sensation as if they were facing a sharp blade. Qian Tiao also seemed to have used some secret technique, her aura rising higher and higher, vaguely overlapping with the Rakshasa (demoness) illusion with fiery, upright hair behind her...

Looking again at the disappeared assassin, he had quietly reappeared behind the giant, a dark green poisonous dagger stabbing fiercely towards the back of his heart.

The gold element on the golden-armored giant's body changed from solid to fluid, greatly reducing his defense.

Even with this stab, he was already aware of it. Although his movements were restricted, his reaction was not slow at all. A fist, wrapped in rich gold element, slammed back violently. The assassin couldn't dodge in time, and his waist was hit by this punch, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood in mid-air.

Suren watched with a slight glint in his eyes. This punch might not kill the super-defensive Red Devil, but for a glass cannon like the assassin...

Before the thought of danger could fully form in his mind, the assassin's body suddenly disintegrated into clusters of lightning and disappeared.

"Elemental talent [A-039-Lightning]!"

Suren looked at the lightning filling his vision and finally identified the person's talent.

Moreover, this was another Awakened with a second-stage evolution.

Ordinary [Lightning] talent meant extremely strong lightning element affinity, making them natural lightning warlocks. But this person from Mirror Organization was actually a close-combat assassin. The moment his body disintegrated, it immediately dissipated most of the force of the punch.

Just as the assassin disintegrated, Qian Tiao's swords arrived simultaneously.

Because the metal giant's punch was originally calculated perfectly - a one-hit kill, allowing him to withdraw and defend. But unexpectedly, he disintegrated the person he hit, and the force wasn't dissipated, causing his entire center of gravity to shift.

This subtle mistake was a huge flaw in the eyes of top experts.

Qian Tiao's red and black swords sliced across his neck, making a "shila" sound of metal being torn.

At the same time, Nineteen's charged punch also struck the golden-lacquered giant's side, sending his entire body flying!

With a "thump," a metallic clang resounded, sparks flying everywhere.

The golden-armored giant fell like a meteor, and the entire library shook.

"Did they kill him?"

Suren, hiding in the distance, watched the three-person encirclement and gasped.

Any one of those three attacks could definitely kill him instantly.

A combined attack from the three was even more unavoidable.

Moreover...

Upon closer inspection, the weapons in their hands were all ancient weapons with strange effects!

The assassin's dagger seemed to have some kind of deadly poison applied to it. Although the dagger didn't fully penetrate, breaking the defense and piercing through meant it was mostly done.

Nineteen was even worse. That mechanical gauntlet could smash even an armored tank with its charged punch. This guy was definitely not having a good time.

And Qian Tiao's two lightning-fast swords directly cut two finger-deep gashes in the golden-lacquered giant's neck.

But...

It seemed like there was metal in the wounds, and no blood?

The next moment, Suren's pupils shrank as he looked at where the golden-lacquered giant had landed.

"No, he's not dead!"

He knew the man hadn't been killed because he didn't see any gray mist rising!

.......

"Hehe..."

A sneering laugh rang out, and the golden-lacquered giant slowly stood up, the wounds on his body visibly healing.

Sword wounds, stab wounds, fist marks... The metal on his body seemed to have a memory, and it was restored to its original state in the blink of an eye.

Although he had been injured this time, he felt that he had figured out the strength of the people in front of him.

The previous trace of fear also dissipated. A full-force attack was only this strong, and it couldn't kill him.

The golden-lacquered giant stood up. Not only did his injuries recover, but the golden scales on his body re-condensed, and a layer of hazy mist, like tiny sharp gold energy, emerged.

He looked at Mr. Black and the others, not in a hurry to attack. He sneered, "Second awakening of talents, ancient cursed objects, extraordinary inheritances... I have to admit, you really surprised me. Heh heh... Those idiots from 'Umbrella' are really useless. They didn't even notice that the rats in the gutter have the ability to bite."

Suren, who was not far away, frowned slightly when he heard this.

Although he was a transmigrator, he felt a bit uncomfortable hearing the word "rats" repeatedly. These people in Old Lingdun were truly not considered human beings in the eyes of the Black Tower people.

However, this sounded like it was deliberately trying to provoke Mr. Black and the others?

Moreover, mockery was secondary.

Qian Tiao, a third-rank melee fighter, had used all her tricks, but had not been able to cause effective damage to this golden-lacquered giant.

Suren also felt that the current situation was very unfavorable.

The difference in levels meant that the condensation of dark spiritual power and elements were not on the same level at all.

A "wooden knife" being able to cut into "stone" was already a testament to the swordsman's superb martial arts, but the difference in density and material could not be overcome!

The Black Scythe could probably ignore the golden armor's defense and kill him, but Suren felt that he had no chance of hitting him.

He felt that his every sword movement would be detected and dodged by a fifth-rank powerhouse's reaction speed. At that time, the Black Scythe, as a hidden weapon, would be completely meaningless.

Fortunately, Mr. Black looked as calm as ever.

Suren patiently continued to wait for an opportunity to strike.

.......

Mr. Black didn't seem surprised at all that the golden-lacquered giant wasn't dead, because he hadn't stopped forming seals with his hands.

He also seemed to see through what the "sharp gold energy" on the golden-lacquered giant's body was, and he took the opportunity to remind Qian Tiao and the others while forming seals: "This guy is practicing Fifth-Order Muscle Alchemy..."

This time, the poisoned dagger penetrated much easier than the last stab, easily piercing through a bloody hole.

The muscles in other parts of this guy's body were like pure gold, but his hamstrings only had a layer of tough skin. A stab pierced through, and blood spurted out.

"Defense broken!"

Suren's eyes flashed when he saw this from a distance.

Seeing blood meant that this guy's defense wasn't as invincible as it seemed before.

He could be killed!

The situation suddenly turned around.

A look of horror finally appeared on the golden-lacquered giant's face.

The feeling of being calculated step by step made him feel like his punches were hitting cotton.

He hurriedly condensed elements to cover his wound. But the poison from the dagger invaded his meridians, causing him to stagger and almost fall.

Immediately after that, Mr. Black's persistent voice rang out again, "The flaw is on the right side of the waist, the ninth rib!"

Hearing this, the golden-lacquered giant instinctively tried to retract his arm to defend his lower ribs.

After having his flaws pointed out, he dared not attack as recklessly as before. But with this hesitation, Qian Tiao and the three others were able to fight even more freely.

"The flaw is in the right arm!"

"The flaw is in the lower abdomen!"

"The flaw is in..."

Mr. Black repeatedly pointed out the flaws, and the golden-lacquered giant was shocked each time, even daring not to take the initiative to attack, and could only defend in place.

........

From Mr. Black's "explanation," Suren understood the principle of the fifth-order spell [Vajra].

This guy was basically an iron tortoise when he didn't move, and he couldn't be hurt.

But as long as he moved, the gold element wouldn't have time to cover his whole body, and he would reveal flaws.

There was no suspense in the next battle.

Mr. Black completely grasped the enemy's thoughts, and no matter what he wanted to do, Mr. Black clearly "called it out."

Qian Tiao became more and more relaxed, leaving wounds on the enemy with each strike.

Seeing that there was hope to kill the enemy, the golden-lacquered giant also started playing dirty later. Knowing that he couldn't gain an advantage, he just stayed in place.

Completely stationary output.

Anyway, you can't kill me. I'll just stand here and wait for reinforcements to arrive. Let's see who can outlast who.

Moreover, this guy also took out a golden sphere, a cursed object, and crushed it, further covering his body with heavy armor.

Now, Qian Tiao and the others really couldn't do anything to him.

Seeing this, Suren finally knew what Mr. Black had called him here for.

The golden-lacquered giant gave up moving, and Mr. Black and the others didn't hold back. Lightning chains wrapped around him layer after layer, and various soothing spells enveloped him layer after layer.

If you move, you'll get cut.

If you don't move, you'll be bound more and more tightly.

Finally, after that guy gave up struggling, he was firmly trapped in place.

Mr. Black specially reminded Suren of the location.

Suren controlled the living corpse and slashed down with his scythe.

A huge head fell to the ground with a bang.

No matter how invincible your defense is, the law level cannot be higher than the Black Scythe. You will be cut in two with one strike.

Suren's eyes lit up as he watched the "mist" floating out of the corpse not far away.
