Chapter 388: You're a human
Her hand landed on the floor with a loud thud.
— Threads? Focusing on the space in front of her, Lust saw the faintest of threads.
Her hand quickly decomposed and turned to ash.
But almost immediately, a red light flashed in place of her severed hand.
Two seconds later, her arm was completely restored, as if she hadn't lost it at all.
Homunculi were too resilient. As long as their philosopher's Stone had energy, they could fully recover.
There were only two ways to kill them. The first is to destroy their Philosopher's Stone, and the second is to deal so much damage that their Philosopher's Stones will eventually run out of energy.
And Su Xiao first wanted to try using the first option.
The floor beneath him was covered in cobwebs as he rushed forward.
Lust's eyes twinkled, but a moment later, everything in front of her spun around.
Su Xiao cut off Lust's head before she could react, and when he was right next to her body, he plunged his left hand right into her chest.
When Su Xiao's palm squeezed her heart, Lust's head was already in place.
— Ah~! " a cry of lust rang out. "You bastard! Lust's fingers turned into sharp blades, which immediately shot towards Su Xiao's head.
These blades were extremely sharp and could easily pierce through almost any matter, and yet they could extend almost endlessly.
Su Xiao narrowly avoided her attack by tilting his head to the side, and a wound appeared on his cheek, which immediately began to bleed out.
Among Father's seven homunculi, Lust had the deadliest attacks.
[You have been exposed to Absolute Blades, run a check...]
[The attack only grazed the skin, the Hunter will not receive additional damage..]
These two notifications made Su Xiao realize that he couldn't give Lust a chance to hit him with his attacks.
Su Xiao's palm in the Lust body moved lower, and after squeezing the hard object, he immediately stuck his hand out of her body.
— You want...
Lust's body quickly turned to ash — Su Xiao had her philosopher's Stone in her hand.
However, immediately, flesh and blood began to form around this stone.
In just a moment, Su Xiao's arm was firmly fixed by her hands.
— Lust looked at Su Xiao with a smile, and her fingers once again turned into blades.
Su Xiao immediately jumped back.
*Ding!*
A body of Lust began to reach for him, causing her to look down in disbelief. — You have wrapped your threads around my philosopher's stone?
The thread was buried deep in Lust's body.
Su Xiao silently pulled on the thread, and immediately took a step towards it with the sword in his hands.
She tried to stop his attack, but her hands flew into the air.
*Crackle!*
Su Xiao didn't stop there. Head, legs... Everything fell to the floor along with her hands.
The more wounds she needed to repair, the more energy she would need to expend.
Qing Gang Yin was working hard at the moment and was consuming 30 mana per minute. Currently, he only had 750 mana left, which meant that he would only be able to fight fully armed for 25 minutes.
During this time, each of his hits will burn 50 Mana points and deal 50 true damage per mana burn, which will significantly speed up Lust killing..
Lust's body started to regenerate, and Su Xiao stood beside her and waited for her to recover.
As soon as Lust's hands recovered, Su Xiao's blade flashed and cut them off again.
Because of this, Lust stopped trying to recover. It wasn't that she didn't have enough energy, but that she was well aware that if nothing changed, she would eventually die.
The masked guy in front of her reminded her of Anger.
Su Xiao, on the other hand, stood where he was and didn't move. Since his enemy wasn't moving, he wouldn't make any rash moves.
He didn't want to take any chances in this situation. If Lust decides to restore one of her arms and attacks him from a closer distance, he won't be able to stop her attack.
Lust's body trembled, and Su Xiao knew that he needed to retreat, but it was already too late.
All of Lust's severed limbs and head instantly recovered and immediately ten of her fingers began to lengthen and flew into Su Xiao's body from all directions.
Su Xiao tried to dodge them and even activated Mikasa's heart skill, but the barrier that appeared shattered into pieces in just three touches with her absolute blades.
*Pouf*
Blood began to drip onto the ground — a gash appeared on Su Xiao's temple that revealed a view of the bone.
Blood quickly began to flow into his eye, but he couldn't afford to close it in this situation.
Mikasa's heart skill allowed him to create a shield with a capacity of 80% of his maximum health, and at the moment, he had 35 points of stamina plus 274 additional health points from the ghost constitution, but even so, a couple of her attacks on important organs of Su Xiao's body could literally kill him right away.
And while Lust understood this, she was also well aware that to survive, she needed to cut the thread that was wrapped around her philosopher's stone.
One of her blades darted towards the thread...
*DING!*
Sparks landed on the floor, but the thread remained intact.
In fact, her attack had dealt damage to herself.
Lust spat out some blood, and her pupils dilated.
«If things continue like this, I'll end up dead. Is this guy really human? I need to get out of here right now.»
