"Frankly, you are quite the pervert. To be able to crush Yu Ze, your Strength must be at least thirty, Perception over twenty, and most bizarrely, your Vitality is somewhere between four hundred and five hundred, with Defense at twenty! And you, you damned monster, can still provide powerful support!

Your Intelligence and Spirit must also exceed twenty!" "It's been ages since I encountered a fool who jacks up all his stats like you. If I hadn't taken the risk to expose an opening and seize the chance for a killing blow, I might actually have ended up mutually destroyed with you. How much Vitality do you have left now?

Two hundred? Three hundred? How much more blood can you afford to spill?" Facing Riel's provocation, Fang Senyan remained silent, his face pale, retreating step by painstaking step.

Blood oozed from the horrific gash on his chest, speckling the ground. Riel currently held the absolute advantage and was exceedingly self-satisfied. He raised his long saber and brought it down in a fierce slash!

The two were once again locked in the previous stalemate of attack and defense, but this time Riel possessed absolute confidence in victory, seemingly overwhelming Fang Senyan! With every arc of his blade, he pressed forward relentlessly, refusing to grant Fang Senyan even the slightest chance to escape. To Riel, Fang Senyan's counterattacks now seemed futile, the desperate thrashing of a trapped beast.

After several more minutes of intense struggle, Riel stepped back, retracted his saber, and coldly stated, "Die!" For some reason, a faint, ominous premonition began to surface in his mind. Perhaps it was from having witnessed battles where opponents staged sudden comebacks. Thus, despite the Shadow Clone ability continuously draining his Spiritual Power, Riel resolved himself to unleash his current most potent skill!

His figure vanished in an instant only to reappear directly behind the stunned Fang Senyan! Riel, his face grim, lightly drifted past Fang Senyan's back, executing a somersault flip over his head. The long saber held in his right hand, now behind him, outlined a streak of mournful deep-blue light, cascading down like spilled ink!

That single slash of light resembled a crescent moon of pale blue rising diagonally, sweeping across Fang Senyan's cheek, then across his chest! B-Rank Ability: Blade Dance Art - Side Cut!! This inexplicable, eerie strike immediately elicited a cry of intense pain from Fang Senyan.

He rolled several times on the ground like a dying beast, clutching his face as blood leaked from between his fingers. He abruptly pulled a bottle of Curse Potion from his breast pocket and hurled it heavily onto the ground! Using the rising toxic mist as cover, he turned and fled, completely disregarding the fact that his back was now exposed to Riel's blade.

A glint of excitement and bloodlust flashed in Riel's eyes. Waiting only for the stunning effect to pass, he ignored the poisonous fog and immediately sprinted in pursuit. His Agility had already exceeded its extreme value; even though the toxic mist caused deceleration, he covered less than thirty meters before closing in behind Fang Senyan.

Pushing off with his legs, he leaped high into the air, both hands gripping the long saber as he brought it down in a powerful slash aimed at Fang Senyan's back! This strike was intended to be fatal! But, but!

In that very instant, Fang Senyan, who had been the prey, suddenly spun around, his hands clenched into fists! Their eyes met instantly. Riel immediately felt a sensation akin to his 'eyes being injured,' because Fang Senyan's eyes held none of the cowardice, pain, or fear he expected!

Those eyes, seeming to burn, were filled with wild defiance and an unshakeable conviction of victory!!! In that fleeting moment, Riel had the bizarre illusion that he was swinging his blade against a colossal, towering mountain whose peak was completely obscured! Yet, his will was remarkably firm; he gritted his teeth and brought the blade down with all his might!

With a sharp swish, blood erupted. Fang Senyan's left hand, used to block, was cleanly severed and flew five or six meters before landing on the ground with a dull thud. The momentum of the strike continued downward, pouring forth like the surging currents of the Yangtze River, carving a deep trench into the earth!

It was over ten meters long! Even several large plants behind him suffered collateral damage, sliced clean in two and collapsing amidst clouds of dust! But simultaneously, a dark golden light flickered across Fang Senyan's neck, and his right fist was enveloped in a faint blue glow!

Dark Gold Necklace: Smith's Matrix Chip Ability, Formatting Activated... Armor Effect! Swift Beast Hormone Injection activating...

At this point, Riel was still suspended mid-fall. Fang Senyan's right fist struck out like lightning in rapid succession! It hammered into Riel's left thigh with overwhelming, thunderous force!

Critical Hit! Crushing Blow!! Fang Senyan's first punch inflicted immense pain on Riel, but from the second punch onward, Riel felt as if his left thigh had been directly trampled by an elephant.

By the third punch... he felt nothing at all. The only meaning this conveyed was...

his left leg was utterly useless. One second Riel was basking in triumph; the next, he was facing an extremely perilous, near-fatal crisis! In that instant, Riel's heart plummeted.

Overwhelmed by a huge surge of disappointment, dejection, and sudden reversal, he threw his head back and let out a savage howl, a long, drawn-out cry! It was the desperate shriek of a wolf caught in a bear trap! But his cry was abruptly cut short in the next second because the savage power imbued in Fang Senyan's fist erupted.

Those continuous three punches had not only smashed the bones in his left leg to pieces but also launched Riel airborne, causing him to lose balance, crash heavily, and end up covered in mud and streaks of blood. All that forbearance—it was all for these three punches! These were the three punches necessary to cripple Riel's leg and prevent his escape!

If he couldn't cripple him with one blow, Fang Senyan, the awakened Auxiliary Special Agent, wouldn't be able to catch him even if he had wings! Only then did Fang Senyan slowly withdraw his fist! Despite being riddled with wounds, blood gushing from his chest, and having an entire arm severed, the impression he gave was now even more imposing—like a rugged, fissured mountain, still reaching the heavens, enduring and insurmountable.

Just facing him inspired a suffocating sense of an uncrossable barrier! The look in his eyes, a mix of killing intent and relentless perseverance, shattered every previous impression Riel had held of him! "You...

you monster." Riel's facial muscles twitched violently. His five fingers dug deep into the bark of a nearby tree before he managed to straighten up, leaning on it and gasping for breath. His vision swam in and out.

Those lightning-fast three punches had not only broken his left leg but also shattered his confidence. It was then that Riel realized, with a shock, that his Strength rating had secretly dropped by 4 points without him noticing! It was now down to 23.

Even so, Riel grasped a terrifying truth: this enemy before him had a Strength rating of... at least over 46 points!! This realization nearly broke Riel, because clearly, a Contractor whose Strength exceeded 46 points would have a probability exceeding 90% of breaking through their limit!

This meant Fang Senyan might even have another trump card!! A trump card capable of breaking his limit! How could a specialist in support roles possibly achieve a strength breakthrough!

This meant Riel's previous smug certainty was nothing more than a colossal joke. And all those small, overlooked suspicious details were now magnified tenfold, gnawing at Riel's psyche like venomous snakes. He watched the blood-soaked Fang Senyan advance step by deliberate step, his own eyes now bloodshot.

At this moment, Fang Senyan spoke with calculated calm and sarcasm, "Come on! Just one more hit on me, and I'll enter the near-death state." "Damn it, damn it! According to my calculations, his Vitality should have entered the near-death state long ago!" Riel's pupils contracted to pinpricks.

Hearing this, he recalled numerous instances of near-failure, deciding the man before him was bluffing! He roared, dragging his injured leg, and hobbled forward with his long saber toward Fang Senyan. So, two seconds later, Fang Senyan squarely took a bloody, vertical slash across his forehead with the blade—a long, gruesome wound stretching from his left temple to the corner of his right mouth!

His expression twisted into a strange, uncanny grin. But while blood streamed down his face, Fang Senyan unleashed his full power with his fist, driving a sharp blow squarely into Riel's nose! A 49-point burst of Strength erupted, sending Riel flying backward once more!

In that instant, Riel finally despaired. He clearly understood two things: First, the man called 'Sailor' was not bluffing. Second, if he recklessly continued fighting, he would be the one to die!!

The sheer power of the Crushing Blow was terrifyingly absolute! He never imagined a person could be so tenacious. Riel had just executed what he believed to be his most perfect and spectacular offensive move.

From the moment he launched the first strike, Riel felt as if he had transformed into a tsunami loaded with sharp blades, while his enemy was merely a withered leaf, unable to last more than a few seconds against such a ferocious tide. But now the enemy had counterattacked from a desperate situation and turned the tables! Riel finally gave up completely.

His eyes filled with panic and fear as the relentlessly advancing Fang Senyan put immense pressure on him. He finally collapsed under the strain, screaming and turning to flee. Despite having a severed leg, Riel, being an awakened Auxiliary Special Agent, still moved faster limping than Fang Senyan moving normally!
