Chapter 499 - 499: Nicole's Power
Chapter 499: Chapter 499: Nicole’s Power
The Count had three pets with him.
One of which was Abe’s target.
The responsibility to lead away the two pets, the [Corpse Demon] and [Centipede], was given to Togu and Chen Li.
Han Dong deliberately kept ‘Nicole Little Paw’ by his side.
Currently, she was the containment object with the greatest offensive power and the most threatening presence, a special existence categorized essentially as a “Follower”…
Moreover, she was a royal follower, carrying a trace of the “Old King” bloodline… more powerful than life outside the city of the same level.
In the movie “Mist,” the ‘wounded Nicole’ corresponds to the highest six-level omen.
With Han Dong’s containment of Nicole, the “vein information” was complemented.
[Nicole Little Paw]
Method of containment: Perfect containment (affinity level achieved, level relatively high, yet fully follows her own will, willing to sign a master-servant contract, becoming a containment object)
Main affiliation: Divers[Deep-Ones]
Category: Octopus ≮Royal≯
Identity explanation*: Follower – special life created from the union of the Old King’s offspring and humans, capable of freely switching between human and deep-sea diver forms, possessing dual attributes.
Battle Rating: C
Paths of Advancement:
① Deep Sea Crystal: By absorbing the core dropped by demons (deep-sea type), they can gain a certain amount of advancement energy.
② Fate: By following an individual to complete the main storyline of fate, they can gain the corresponding difficulty of advancement energy.
Special Note*: After successfully advancing a royal follower, the concentration of the bloodline may increase, deepening the connection with the ‘Old King’.
Ability System:
① “Deep-sea Royalty” – Significantly enhances advancement speed (doubles experience value).
② “Eight Paws” – Possesses eight lives, it may release octopus-like tentacles with ‘suction cups’ (number of tentacles, sensitivity, strength, corrosion, etc., all relative to the host level.)
③ “Strong Hydrophilicity” – Immune to water attribute magic. Their comprehensive attributes dramatically increase in water area environments, gaining exceptional regenerative ability.
④ “Deep Sea Learning” – Able to use deep-sea-specific (unique) related spells. (Specific spell names and information nesd deep analysis).
Combining the information insights and the intensity that Nicole presents, her real level should be at the demon level, and because of the royal bloodline, she is stronger than common demons.
From the start of the war, Nicole hid inside Han Dong in the form of a small pink octopus.
The current stalemate.
It seems as if the two are equal, but actually the Count was completely suppressing Han Dong…
The reason lies in the “Blood Loss”, which is precisely what makes the Scarlet Count terrifying.
During the fight with the Count.
Blood would uncontrollably seep out of the pores and be absorbed by the Count… This is fundamentally different from the principle of “Life Absorption”. This is a result of the Count’s inherent “Blood Affinity”. For opponents with less control over blood than the Count, they would continuously lose blood in battle.
Moreover, such loss would intensify as one approached the Count.
The two’s close-proximity stand-off maximized the effect of life loss… No matter how much Han Dong tried to control his body, at least 10ml of blood would autonomously leave his body every second.
This stalemate had to be broken.
“Nicole, take him out! But, for now, don’t expose your real form.”
“Okay!”
However… just when Nicole, who was inside his body, was about to make a move,
The Count, as if through a unique ‘territory’, seemingly foresaw the impending danger in advance, forcefully severed life absorption, spread his bloody wings and retreated.
Swoosh!
Four sticky, sea water soaked suction cup tentacles suddenly grew from Han Dong’s lower ribs.
The wings of blood fluttered.
Carrying the slightly thin and light Count, he quickly moved back.
However, Nicole’s tentacles possessed infinite extensibility. They once chased Han Dong for more than ten streets in “Mist”, only giving up due to special reasons.
The speed of the tentacles’ pursuit was not at all slow.
At the same time, between each suction cup on the tentacles, a kind of deep sea magic – [Water Dew] was being released.
Everywhere the tentacles went, dense small water droplets would be left within a five-meter radius… Any life that touched the water droplets would be slowed down.
Besides slowing down, the water droplets seemed to serve another purpose…
But…
The Count’s escape was based on the ‘unknown’, rather than the fear of the tentacles.
Caught off guard by the deep-sea tentacles, the Count was unsure of their threat and related abilities… After fleeing some distance, the Count gathered some information about the tentacles through territorial means and was no longer afraid.
He stopped retreating.
His left hand, the blood arm, gave a gentle wave.
Immediately, a large number of blood threads grew out from the theater, binding four tentacles accurately.
Before the blood threads were corroded by these tentacles, the silver sword in his right hand slashed down.
“Ah…”
Nicole let out a faint cry from within Han Dong’s body as she immediately retracted the broken tentacles.
The severed parts, burnt to a crisp by the silver sword, disintegrated completely before even hitting the ground…
This scene made Han Dong’s forehead break out in cold sweat.
“The silver sword… the ‘Silver Cross’ embedded in the Count’s wrist seems to be a powerful holy artifact specifically made to deal with life outside the city.
Nicole’s tentacles were instantly annihilated due to the holy silver’s burn after being cut off.
The Count himself is a creature from outside the city, using such a holy artifact to ‘stimulate’ and ‘seal’ part of his abilities. He is indeed a madman.
At the same time, possessing such a holy artifact can help him quickly invade the territories of life outside the city and restrain his kin.
It’s just like a Hell Demon holding a “Bible” to purify other demons.
Maybe it’s for this reason that the Blood God gave the rare ‘Activity Land Deed’ to the Count to manage.
In combination with the Count’s aggressive invasiveness, he can quickly help the Blood God obtain more Blood Descendants and territories.
Unfortunately, I too am associated with life outside the city. If my head were to be hit by this[Silver Sword], I might die instantly.”
Staring at the scene of the tentacles instantly vanishing,
Han Dong felt a danger no less intense than the Old King incident.
The Count looked at Han Dong on the stage, his voice amplified, “Your body seems to be filled with many odd things… I am now looking forward to conducting a thorough dissection of you.
Maybe, I can make a full banquet just with your body as my ingredients! Hahaha!”
Just as the Count was grinning madly and closing in on Han Dong again,
All the small water droplets floating in the air gathered towards the Count.
“Secret Technique: Deep Sea Prison”
The small water droplets quickly converged, constructing a 3m×3m×3m seawater prison around the Count.
On the surface of the prison, the strange mark of an octopus head, originating from Nicole’s royal attribute, appeared faintly… temporarily completely restraining the Count.
“Phew…” Han Dong took a deep breath.
Taking advantage of this opportunity,
He resolved his full-body contract with Duo Zeya…
Letting Duo Zeya and the “Raven Crosser” wand to form a contract.
A two-meter-long [Black Crow Spear] appeared in Han Dong’s hand…
The G Virus was fully activated, with vast amounts of hyperplastic tissue growing to store power… All his strength would culminate in the next throw.
Targeting the Count’s[Heart of Blood].
