Chapter 325: Chapter 324 Epilogue

Chapter 325 -324 Epilogue

In the center of the park.

Zede, standing upright, suddenly disassembled his injured right leg and brought the bleeding sole of his foot up to his face for a closer look.

“A cut from scissors? It must be a soul-level attack to have harmed my essence… Right? This is what makes it interesting!”

In an instant, a bizarre smile tore through the black eye mask, revealing all his teeth and gums, even altering Zede’s usually somber and oppressive aura.

It became more frenzied and chaotic.

A short distance away, Yi Chen, upon witnessing this scene, quickly asked,

“Catherine! Did you inject ‘Smile Thought’ into Mr. Zede’s mind with that attack just now?”

Catherine, attached to a spring, hurriedly waved her hands:

“Don’t talk nonsense. If it were that simple, would I have needed to die so many times? I haven’t done any such thing, this is just a change that’s happening on its own.”

“Could it be!”

Yi Chen immediately thought of the worst-case scenario—[Loss of Control].

Teacher Zede was never completely stable to begin with. Although the organization had already allowed him some degree of freedom to go out, he still needed to be confined and restricted to the lower parts of the academy for the most part.

Now, having sustained real damage from Catherine, coupled with the negative effects of the nightmarish environment all along, Zede seemed to be losing control.

“Be careful!”

Realizing the possibility of Zede losing control, Yi Chen didn’t hesitate at all and decisively activated ‘Dead Man Makeup’.

With a single hand stroking his face,

a cold white base covered his face, with a slight blush forming at the same time.

Yi Chen seemed to stand at the shallow edge of a black sea beach, signifying that he was on the border between life and death,

In this state, he could not be completely killed. No matter how destroyed, his shattered body could dissolve into formless black liquid and reconstitute itself.

Of course, there was a limited duration.

Moreover, if he encountered a death that overpowered him, he would still be in danger.

At the moment the Dead Man Makeup formed,

Crack~ the sound of ankle joints twisting with tendons resounded,

‘Instant’—and it was an instant with an associated attack!

In a blink, the attack had already landed.

Swish~ Zede’s pale claw-like hand completely sheared off half of Yi Chen’s head… This brutal mode of attack was completely different from the more orthodox moves previously used.

Yi Chen, with half of his brain sliced off, instantly looked bewildered.

But a single claw strike wasn’t enough.

Zede immediately followed with an extremely difficult whipping kick!

Like a massive, heavy chopper, as the back of his foot pressed down on the remaining half of Yi Chen’s head, his body was ground into mush along with it.

This kind of total destruction required a much longer time for resurrection.

Having temporarily dealt with Yi Chen,

Zede immediately focused all his attention on Catherine, to completely deal with this rather troublesome woman.

“Hahaha! Such speed, faster than before… Come and kill me, humans!”

Facing Catherine’s mad laughter and mockery, Zede did not immediately attack.

Through the subtle vibrations of Catherine’s physical body and the cut on his own foot sole, he had concluded.

Catherine’s mouth split by the red scissors, with her upper body connected to a spring, had undergone a change in essence.

Though she appeared human, her essence had been molded into [Scissors].

No matter how she is touched, she will ‘soul cut’.

Furthermore,

even if Catherine were destroyed in one blow, she could use any of the ‘Scare Magic Box’ scattered in advance around the park for a quick resurrection.

How to ‘kill without touching’? That was the problem Zede needed to solve.

Or rather, he had already solved it.

Tipping his toes on the ground, he made a small leap back, creating just the right distance outside his own attack range between them.

His right foot fully extended,

in line with the instep, calf, knee, and thigh,

his whole body’s muscular contractions, driving force, and near-perfect power transmission,

twisted his waist and turned his back,

releasing a textbook ‘Middle Rank Sweep Kick’ from Zede’s body to perfection.

The kick didn’t directly hit Catherine but instead relied on sheer power and physical control to unleash a ‘Wind Pressure Scythe’.

The wind pressure fanned out,

first severing the spring connecting Catherine to the Magic Box,

and also destroying all the Scare Magic Boxes in its path, even damaging the edge of the forest, with dozens of trees cut in half at their trunks.

If Mozander, that leg expert, saw this scene, he’d probably drool nonstop; he could stare at Zede’s right leg for an entire day.

Due to the broken spring,

Catherine’s upper body was completely thrown out, yet she laughed maniacally in mid-air, “Haha~ wow! What tremendous power, to even destroy so many Magic Boxes along with it! How terrifying… COME ON and ATTACK ME!”

“Right away.” Zede, for once, responded verbally.

Bent down as if preparing to jump or perhaps to pick up something.

Whoosh!

He leapt to Catherine’s height in mid-air and executed a Hand Blade, beheading her flawlessly.

Correspondingly,

due to the ‘contact’ with Catherine, his palm was ‘sheared’, all five fingers breaking off and falling.

Strangely enough,

the fingers that fell to the ground quickly turned into pools of Black Liquid, exuding a Death Aura.

Zede dared to execute a Hand Blade strike because the hand wasn’t originally his own. He indeed picked up an Arm segment that Yi Chen had just condensed and used it as a weapon.

He was a first-rate corpse master,

just needing to insert his palm into the end of the arm; the five fingers would easily connect to the nerves for perfect control, unleashing a slaughter Hand Blade nearly identical to Yi Chen’s.

This Borrowed Hand move was indeed unexpected.

Yi Chen’s Main Consciousness, fearing further exploitation, controlled the Black Liquid to gather on the edge of the park.

As it took shape, a sharp pain and numbness immediately came from the right hand’s fingers—a clear aftereffect of the shearing, as though the soul itself had sustained damage.

Meanwhile, Catherine’s real body also emerged from a Magic Box, “William, don’t get killed or used again… If he attacks me with your head, it might cause you irreversible trauma.”

However.

While the two of them were reconstituting their Physical forms and chatting idly,

Zede had cleared more than 90% of the Magic Boxes in the area with his area-of-effect attack.

“What a terrifying guy… William, keep going! If it doesn’t work out this time, we can just die and wait an hour for the resurrection timer before trying again.

With enough experience, we’ll eventually kill this guy.”

Catherine wasn’t just verbally urging on, she even actively pushed on Yi Chen’s back,

but,

there was no need for Yi Chen to actively approach.

Zede, having cleared the last Magic Box nearby, made a twisting step and actively lunged towards them, intending to end the fight there and then.

Whew~

Yi Chen also took a Deep Breath, ready to face Zede’s onslaught,

while Catherine slowly receded into the shadows, seeking the perfect opportunity to strike.

The moment before the battle was about to erupt,

Catherine, who was nearly hidden in the darkness, suddenly reappeared, her eyes wide with rage, staring intensely at Yi Chen, completely ignoring Zede who could kill her at any moment.

“William! What have you done!”

Seeing Catherine’s reaction, Yi Chen finally allowed the hidden stone of anxiety in his heart to settle, “Oh? You finally caught up… You really had to drag it out to this moment.

Whew~ It’s time to end this game, Catherine.”
