Chapter 399: Humans are the most cunning
Early the next morning, on the outskirts of Central.
Su Xiao was standing near one of the abandoned houses.
*Top-top-top...*
The sound of footsteps sounded not far away, and Su Xiao, who was wrapped in bandages, looked at the person approaching him.
— You fought a Mustang yesterday?
— While I was dealing with Reese in the woods a Mustang suddenly came at me.
— About~... You didn't show him those photos?" Envy moved closer to Su Xiao and looked at him with a smile.
— Where is my philosopher's Stone?
— Here, " Envy said, and tossed him a philosopher's stone the size of a grain of rice. It was even smaller than the stone he had given him when they first met.
Su Xiao didn't catch it and it fell at his feet. — That's all?
— Every time you do something for us, you'll get a philosopher's stone of this size, " Envy chuckled and looked him up and down with a mocking smile on his face.
— Oh-oh-oh? Su Xiao drawled. "Then forget it.
— Hm? You don't want to help us anymore? The Mustang has some weaknesses, you know. He turned Central upside down this morning just to find you, " Envy said, his eyes flashing.
He had seen the results of the battle last night. Most of the forest had been burned, and there were also large holes here and there in the forest.
Su Xiao took out his walkie-talkie and turned it on. - Progress?
The signal wasn't very good, but fortunately, the voice of the person on the other side could be heard clearly, albeit with some interference. "We'll clean up.".. Within an hour... No problem at all.
— Okay, I'll be leaving Central soon, so the rest is up to you.
— No problem... Thank you... For information.
Hearing this, Su Xiao turned off the walkie-talkie.
— Who did you talk to? Envy suddenly felt that something was wrong.
— Happy new friend, " Su Xiao said, and a sword appeared in his hand.
*Pouf!*
Blood spilled on the ground.
— Envy felt a tingling pain from his arm and squinted at his left hand.
His left arm was gone and the cut was smooth, with the regeneration greatly delayed due to the strange, aggressive energy.
— It hurts! Envy immediately jumped back and carefully observed Su Xiao. — You want to kill me, you pathetic bastard...
*Ding~*
The threads squeezed his body and didn't give him a chance.
— What is it, hey, hundred...
Su Xiao waved his left hand.
*Poof-crackle...*
A huge number of small wounds appeared on Envy's body, and a moment later, his body split into dozens of parts.
— The first time.
But Envy recovered very quickly, however, Su Xiao was already standing by his side.
— How dare you...
The long blade chopped off Envy's head.
— The second time.
Su Xiao kicked Envy's torso with his foot and it flew into the wall of a nearby building.
*Boom!*
As Envy's body slid to the ground, the wall of the house began to crumble.
Su Xiao walked away from the collapsed house and quietly observed the house.
*Crackle!*
The wooden beam was split in two and thrown away.
Soon after, Envy crawled out from the wreckage. "People really aren't trustworthy," he said, getting to his feet and brushing the blood off his hands. — I haven't used it in a long time. I'll show you my real body. Don't pee your pants out of fear.
Envy's body flared up...
Su Xiao didn't try to stop his transformation. Envy was about to reveal its true form. The youth he saw earlier was just his disguise.
Envy's body quickly swelled up and in an instant Envy transformed from a skinny boy to a giant.
It became four meters tall and at least ten meters long. It looked like a cross between a dog and a crocodile, and it had eight thick legs.
Envy's skin turned dark green, and his tail was like a lizard's tail.
When my father created Envy, he added the dog and crocodile genes so that the resulting homunculus would have a higher combat effectiveness..
— This is my strongest form, " Envy's voice became muffled and it sounded like several people were talking together with him at once.
Su Xiao didn't just see Envy in front of him — he saw thousands of people howling endlessly in the body of Envy.
— Help me, I'm in so much pain~.
— Let me out, I don't want to be a part of it!
— Please let me die...
Ignoring the screams of all those souls in Envy's body, Su Xiao frowned. His perception was too strong, and this time it caused him some inconvenience.
Su Xiao rushed forward with the sword in his hands, causing Envy to chuckle.
— If you had used bombs, I would have escaped immediately. Looks like your philosopher's Stones have run out.
Envy raised his dark green paw and swiped towards Su Xiao.
Su Xiao easily dodged his attack and took up a normal stance.
Cracks appeared on the ground below him, causing the ground to vibrate.
Taking his sword in both hands, Su Xiao cut off all of Envy's legs with a single blow.
Envy's thick legs fell to the ground. The place of the cut was perfectly smooth and the sword blade passed through the flesh and bones without any resistance.
Considering all the sharpness bonuses, attack power, and power-up from Qing Gang Yin's skill, this wasn't something surprising.
Along with this attack, three Shadow Dance effects were applied to Envy, which lowered Envy's defense by 24% and at the same time applied bleed to it, with the special effect of reducing the effectiveness of any healing sources by 30%.
Although this very strong negative effect couldn't affect Envy's regeneration rate, since his regeneration depended on his Philosopher's Stone, it increased the amount of energy he consumed to regenerate by 30%, which was a very strong effect in this situation.
*Poof-poof-poof...*
The dragon's flash started to move up and down, and Envy's body split into pieces time after time.
Su Xiao sliced Envy just like slicing fruit or vegetables.
— Impossible, what kind of sword is this, how can it be so sharp!.. "but Envy kept talking even in this situation.
Su Xiao decided not to bother and just cut off Envy's jaw.
Among the seven homunculi, only three could provide Su Xiao with a threat, but he had already dealt with one of them, Anger was out of the question for now, and Pride was next on his list.
Pride, being the first homunculus Father created, was considered the second strongest sin, but it had a weakness, a fatal weakness.
