Reynold swung his hammer, crushing the glass-diamond-like worm. He swung his hammer with agility as if it were light.
With just a small swing, the damage given was very large because of the weight of the hammer itself. If Reynold opened Os Medulla, he would definitely have difficulty swinging the hammer.
"Hahaha, always the trouble battle finger if in the same stage!"
Kaelan and that person were at stage three. They had a qualitative change in their mutations. Every fight with the same level happens, then experience and tricks are the key.
Both Reynold and the person from Eternal Darkness would only look for gaps and opportunities. They would not easily show tricks to each other.
"Then this is endurance fight!"
Sangu Carna are attack experts from all distances; their power is also very flexible and effective. They are very rare existence because the mutation itself is unique.
Even though Os Medulla is not flexible, but if talking about attack power and strength, this mutation is the champion. Their body resistance is many times stronger.
"You know that I won't be that stupid, right?" He mocked while throwing a large number of blood arrows.
Reynold avoided some, while he formed a shield from his left hand bone to overcome the remaining arrows.
"Hm? I don't think there are smart people coming from Eternal Darkness."
Hearing the provocation, the man started creating a sword from hardened flesh. He ran fast toward Reynold.
"Hahah, sorry for making you angry!" Reynold welcomed the attack with his hammer.
The blood sword and iron hammer hit each other. The impact was hard enough to create a fresh wind around.
"My name is Bovoy. I will kill you here," Bovoy said coldly as his purple-hued eyes glowed from behind his mask.
"I am Reynold. I will deliver you toward the light!" Reynold gave a powerful kick.
Bovoy parried it with flesh coming out of his leg. At the same time, he created blood thorns that tried to stab Reynold's stomach.
Reynold hit the ground and jumped. He reached out his left hand. Round bones came out from his fingertips and shot fast like bullets.
Bovoy did not dodge; he reached out his hand too and shot blood bullets, making them collide with the bone bullets.
Both were very balanced in the ability to attack. However, the difference is in endurance.
Sangu Carna tend to be overwhelmed faster. That is because the body releases blood and flesh continuously. The body will also work hard to restore it back.
That process happens every second. The result is Sangu Carna maybe strong, but very not suitable for long-term battle.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Reynold was still fine. Os Medulla has almost no fatal flaws other than the reality they cannot restore lost blood and flesh.
When releasing bones, they also need to make a wound on the body. Different from Sangu Carna, Os Medulla will not be able to restore the lost blood.
However, the difference is in the blood expenditure. Os Medulla can survive longer with the condition of not having wounds that cause a lot of blood loss.
Until this second, Reynold only had a small wound on his left hand. He was quite confident capable of fighting for a long time.
"What is your plan in my city?" Reynold asked. "You must know there are big consequence for disturbing my city."
Bovoy scoffed, "You people selfishly claim the city and think it is yours? Truly funny!"
He spread his arms and looked up at the red moon shining above his head.
"You stupid people who reject a blessing as beautiful as this. Nadir Sovereign inherited us the way to become strong... the way to face the rotting world!"
Reynold frowned his brow. He knew Eternal Darkness was a very extreme crazy group. But talking directly with the member made a headache.
"The curse that caused the world to rot. There is no reason to admire it!"
Bovoy took off his mask slowly. His purple eyes started to be seen more clearly. His skin was brownish and dark blue hair. He stared at Reynold with a glare, almost like a person who is crazy and full of hate.
"The world was destined to rot even without the curse! The curse is a guidance so humans can survive!"
The doctrine of Eternal Darkness is about the curse being a gift. They chase and find out the true essence of the curse. Even becoming a monster and extreme is a blessing. They consider it as a form of evolution.
"No end to talk with crazy people!" Reynold threw his hammer with all his might.
The hammer shot fast toward where Bovoy stood. A blunt hammer but with weight of dozens of kilos, traveling as fast as a running deer.
Bovoy united blood and flesh in both his hands. He strengthened it; the shape of his hands changed into large hands with claws that gripped the hammer. With both his hands, he tried to hold the hammer's momentum.
"Exactly misguided people like you must be awakened!"
While he was busy holding the hammer, Reynold had rushed and reached out his left hand. His hand had bone knuckles that were not beautifully shaped.
At that moment, Bovoy bit his tongue. He immediately spat out blood and flesh that started to form a large ball, locking him inside.
"ORRAA!"
Reynold did not stop. He swung his fist with all his strength and hit the hard flesh protecting Bovoy.
The punch was loud enough and created cracks, but not too strong to destroy it.
Bovoy smirked; the blood and flesh around him covered the ground and popped out dozens of thorns.
"You are the one who will die!"
Blood and flesh thorns stuck out from the ground, stabbing Reynold's body without he could avoid.
Reynold spat out blood, but instead of being angry, he actually smiled confidently.
"Big mistake!" From his wound, bones appeared like tree roots growing with incredible speed.
The root-shaped bone tried to wrap Bovoy quickly. Its movement was like a snake wrapping its prey.
But Bovoy did not flinch. He still had a trump card to play. From his other hand, he took out a black crystal stone.
Reynold realized that stone and was shocked.
"No way—"
But he was too late to react. Bovoy already released the power in that stone and moved the curse in nature with his words.
"Explode!"
In a three-meter radius where Bovoy and Reynold were, experienced a large explosion that destroyed everything.
Headless bird-shaped monsters, giant bats, and other small specimens moved away from the forest. The explosion was big enough to be felt by anyone.
Bovoy of course was not affected. He said another Cursed Prayer to protect himself from the explosion. Because of that, black veins started to appear on his face. That is a sign if his body is corrupted.
"Hahaha, no way he survived."
Bovoy saw the big damage around him. Smoke billowed and dust rose, blocking the view. In the middle of that, he saw a human shadow.
His eyebrows furrowed and his teeth chattered trembling because of great anger. He could see Reynold standing while wiping his dirty clothes.
At his side was a woman with a face that looked cold, her body ideally slim, her hand on the hilt of a sheathed sword.
"Why you can escape?!" Bovoy stomped his foot to the ground repeatedly.
Rebecca took a step forward slowly drawing her sword. The blade was dark red and emitted a deadly light.
A sharp "Sring!" sound buzzed as the sword came out of its scabbard.
"Now, let's start the hunt."
