However, what Blaine felt was that this was not armor. Huh? Or perhaps this armor was a living body, and the armor itself was the surface of that living body. This feeling was very strange, and Blaine did not know where it had come from.
In that case, it seemed that this metal monster was not the residual energy body or soul Blaine had imagined. Instead, it was a real monster. And it was a monster that had survived for an unknown number of years. Tens of thousands of years, millions of years, or even billions of years were all possible.
However, just as Blaine wanted to continue seeing its full appearance clearly and observe the surrounding environment, he suddenly discovered that Hawkeye was not working properly. It seemed he could only see clearly within a radius of ten meters.
There was no other way. Blaine could only speak to it and try to obtain some useful information.
"Are you human or ghost?"
"Where is this?"
With a cold expression, Blaine stared fiercely at the monster in front of him like a ferocious beast, always on guard against any unexpected situation. Fortunately, Blaine was still wearing the universal language translator, so no matter whether this monster came from some high-dimensional civilization hundreds of millions or even billions of years ago, based on the things sold by the system, Blaine should theoretically have no problem understanding what it needed to say.
"Hm?"
"You don't know me?"
"No, you're not from here!"
"Little ghost, are you the food they sent?"
"Oh…"
"Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack…"
"Bounty Hunter!"
"I didn't expect you to have a day like this!"
When the monster opened its mouth, Blaine was puzzled. From the moment it began speaking, the monster seemed to give him the feeling that it knew him. But now that Blaine had spoken, it had let him understand something else.
Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang…
Accompanied by the monster's strange laughter, Blaine even vaguely heard the rattling sound of metal chains. If Blaine guessed correctly, this monster had been trapped here by someone, perhaps by the person from the blank space just now.
If the monster knew him, or knew his aura, then what Blaine thought of was that prehistoric Bounty Hunters might also have come here, and what the monster had seen was a prehistoric Bounty Hunter. If not, then perhaps it had known Blaine before he crossed over, or knew him from his previous life. Judging from its tone, Blaine was more inclined toward the latter.
"Why? Have you stopped talking?"
"Don't you know me?"
"Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack!"
"Bastard, how long are you going to keep me trapped here?"
"Countless dark years. You—you—do you know how I got through them?"
"Have you forgotten?"
"I killed your parents and destroyed your family."
"I was the one who ruined your Hunter family."
"It was my signal to the dark world."
"It was me. It was me. I did it all."
"Qu—qu…"
"Quick, quick, kill me! Kill me, you bastard…"
"Quack, quack, quack…"
"Look at you now."
"Isn't this truly humiliating for your Hunter family?"
Before Blaine could ask a question, the monster had already said a great deal on its own. Blaine was a little confused. What was the dark world? What was the Hunter family?
However, after listening to this outburst, Blaine figured out one thing. The monster in front of him was an enemy. Not only did it bear the blood feud of his father and mother, it was also the murderer who had destroyed his entire family.
Although Blaine still did not know who his biological parents were or what kind of family he had been born into, he only felt an unreasonable anger gradually welling up in his heart.
In an instant, Blaine's eyes turned red. For some reason, under the monster's provocation, delivered in just a few words, Blaine became furious. Clearly, he had no relationship with any parents or any family, but after hearing those words, Blaine was very angry—extremely angry. He even forgot all the doubts and questions he had held in his heart before. With a flick of his wrist, the Dragon Trident suddenly appeared in his hand.
"Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack!"
"Now that's right."
"Quick, come and kill me."
"I haven't seen you for so many years. Let me see the methods of you Bounty Hunters."
Seeing that Blaine was angry, the monster showed not even a trace of fear. Instead, it closed its eyes and gave up resisting, truly waiting for Blaine to kill it.
"Hah!"
Blaine sneered and did not hesitate. These repeated provocations had already touched Blaine's dignity as a Bounty Hunter. However, an attack was still an attack, and Blaine's vigilance had not weakened at all. Not only had it not weakened, it had even increased significantly.
The enemy's provocation was so obvious that Blaine was not stupid enough to miss it. Although he did not know why he had become so furious for no reason, Blaine still decided to chop it down. It was just that this monster, with its confident appearance, was either hiding some trick or truly wanted to die. When things reached an extreme, they would reverse. As a Bounty Hunter, Blaine understood that principle.
…
For this strike, Blaine used his full strength. Although he did not use any skills, this critical force was definitely not something ordinary people could withstand. Take the Hulk's body, for example—even if this halberd could not kill him, it would still be no problem to leave him paralyzed and crippled.
But now, when it struck the monster, aside from the sparks that flew out and the tingling in Blaine's hand, the monster was completely unharmed.
After one strike failed, Blaine immediately retreated. However, before the monster could react, Blaine's next blow had already arrived in front of it.
Clang, clang, bang, bang, bang…
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang…
Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang…
All at once, the sounds of metal collisions and flying sparks made this dark space come alive.
However, even in the face of Blaine's continuous offensive, the metal monster not only failed to take a second step back, but Blaine's attacks only left a few scratches on the surface of its body.
"This damn thing must belong to the turtle family, right?"
"So hard."
"I don't know what it ate growing up."
"Could it be that this little thing is covered in an Iron Shirt?"
Seeing that, despite all his strength, all his changes in moves, and even his auxiliary skills, he still could not do anything to the monster, Blaine could not help complaining.
Just under Blaine's frenzied offensive, an imperceptible touch of gold emerged from the surface of the monster's body. Perhaps because it flashed by in an instant, Blaine did not notice it.
However, if Blaine had seen it, he would definitely have discovered that the golden color was somewhat similar to the one displayed by his Diamond Body.
