In the Consciousness Space, the malicious laughter of the Star of the Observer still echoed.
Facing this fusion monster with the traits of the most terrifying enemies from his memories.
Ron’s eyes showed no fear, instead, there was a hint of excitement.
"Since it’s the Consciousness Space, activating the Incarnation Form shouldn’t bring the same risks as last time..."
With this thought, he began to activate the Stand-In Puppet link deep within his consciousness.
— Incarnation Form
In the next moment, Ron’s body began to undergo a breathtaking transformation.
From his ankles, black metallic liquid surged like a tide, swiftly climbing up his calves, thighs, spreading upward.
The black liquid, upon contact with skin, perfectly merged with his flesh, forming armor that clung like a second skin.
Energy patterns flowed over the armor’s surface, pulsating rhythmically like blood vessels, exuding an elegant yet deadly beauty.
From the shoulder armor protruded blade-like extensions, ready to unfold into lethal weapons during battle.
When the transformation reached his head, a fierce and imposing faceguard slowly formed, revealing only a pair of cold, radiant eyes.
The entire armoring process took but a moment, yet the enhancement it brought was monumental.
Ron could clearly feel the tsunami-like force roaring within him.
Muscle density increased several times over, each fiber containing the terrifying power to tear steel apart;
Neural reaction speed leaped, as if time itself had slowed down before his eyes.
The combat instinct from the Abyss also perfectly merged with his rational thinking.
The Magic Sword in his hand sensed the change in its master’s state and began its own metamorphosis.
Silvery metal fluid flowed over the sword like living water, reshaping the weapon’s form.
The sword blade dissolved, extended, the hilt unfolded like wings, the grip elongated and differentiated into a bowstring groove structure.
Within moments, a longbow emitting a deadly aura appeared in his grasp.
The bowstring condensed to the extreme by magic power, nearly transparent, yet exuded a sharp aura that could cut through the void.
"Let me see what you’re made of first."
Ron slowly drew the bow, the light element at his fingertip began to condense into the form of an arrow.
The derivative application of the Ring of Brilliance, showcased a new mode in the Incarnation Form.
The Light Arrow appeared blazing white, but its core swirled with a profound purple glow, the power of the Abyss Erosion attached.
The fusion monster sensed the threat.
The exposed, malformed brain began to throb violently, veins on the surface writhing like earthworms.
Numerous thorny tentacles rose like furious serpents.
The air was filled with a rotten stench.
— Light Arrow!
Ron released the bowstring, the arrow streaked through the void like a meteor.
But at the moment of impact, the fusion monster exhibited formidable reflexes.
Davod’s brain suddenly swelled a circle larger.
Sound Wave Vibration burst forth instantly, forming visible twisted ripples in the air.
The Light Arrow collided with the sonic barrier as if hitting an invisible wall.
Its trajectory shifted immediately, grazing the monster’s left shoulder, leaving a flickering trail in the void.
"Seems it’s not just about stats, there’s a mechanism, this monster isn’t to be trifled with..."
Ron silently analyzed, distancing himself further.
Davod is the first opponent after fusing souls, perhaps insignificant now, but holds special meaning for him.
However, this fusion form was clearly a super-enhanced version, it not only possessed Davod’s abilities but also traits from other terrifying entities.
The monster’s counterattack came like a storm.
Dozens of thorny tentacles pierced through the air, carrying the whistling sound of wind ripping through.
Being hit wouldn’t be just bruises, it would be terrifying...
Meanwhile, Davod’s brain released stronger Sound Wave Shock.
This time, it was not merely physical oscillation but accompanied by numerous evil ravings, a stream of Spiritual Contamination.
The sounds crawled like thousands of insects in the mind, attempting to rip apart his sanity from within.
The Abyss Corrosion trait of the Holy Disc simultaneously displayed its might, thick ink-like dark mist seeped from the monster’s pores, swiftly spreading across a large area.
Wherever the mist passed, even the void of the Consciousness Space was corroded, leaving tiny, dense cracks like shattered mirror.
But the most lethal was the time hound’s barb.
Ron could barely track the movement of that barb.
He could only feel an extreme threat of death, a needle-like pain pricking every nerve.
Against the layered terrifying attacks, ordinary evasions were meaningless.
Without hesitation, Ron activated the skill he obtained from Erica.
— Time Jump!
The world in his eyes immediately turned viscous like amber.
The swinging tentacles became sluggish as snails crawling, the propagation of sound waves left visible tracks, even the spreading of corrosive mist was sharply visible like a slow-motion scene.
In this perception of time beyond conventional understanding, he easily navigated through the gaps of multiple attacks.
Like a ghost, he appeared on the other side of the battlefield.
Returning to normal time flow, an explosive sound erupted behind him.
The position he was just in now completely destroyed by tentacles, sound waves, and corrosive mist, leaving a bottomless giant pit.
"This level of attack intensity..."
Ron couldn’t help but recall the thrilling encounter with the time hound.
