In the spacious room of the crystal core, two figures collided and pulled each other, making loud noises.
In front of him, a pale corpse that resembled a woman was knocked out again and fell heavily to the ground.
Seeing the enemy fall to the ground, Atier did not take the opportunity to move forward. Instead, he stood firmly in place with an extremely ugly expression.
After a long battle, he was already sweating profusely, his right hand holding the sword was trembling slightly, and his left hand was holding the scabbard, also tightly grasping it.
His expression was very solemn. Even though he saw the corpses on the opposite side being knocked away by him again and again, he still did not dare to let his guard down at all.
However, the next moment, the body of the woman in front crawled up again as if nothing had happened. The wounds all over her body kept wriggling, pulling out bits of flesh buds and connecting the horrific wounds on her body again.
Looking at this scene, Athir's face was gloomy.
The monster that this corpse transformed into was very strange. Not only was it very powerful and fast, but it also seemed to have endless physical strength. Even now, it was still full of energy and almost the same as it was at the beginning.
What's even more terrifying is that the other party seems to be immortal. No matter what kind of blow he suffers, he can heal quickly. He doesn't seem like a real life at all.
Atier had never heard of this kind of strange life, either in his previous life or in the previous world.
In front of him, the humanoid monster roared again and rushed towards Athir at a rapid speed. The wounds on his body had completely healed and no trace could be seen.
Atier looked coldly at the monster in front of him, twisted his right hand holding the sword slightly, and stabbed forward in a more energy-saving posture.
The two figures twisted into a ball again and started fighting in this not-so-spacious space, making a mess all around.
As for the three locals who were watching the whole scene from beginning to end, they were already dumbfounded.
The two inhuman monsters in front of them were fighting head-on. Every heavy blow could cause a huge shock in the room, leaving a large pit one or two meters wide on the thick ground.
Athir was as heroic as the knights praised in poems. He fought fiercely with the humanoid monster in front of him. Every swing of the sword in his hand brought up a whistling sword wind, leaving heavy marks around him.
In order to avoid being affected by the fight between them, the three had to retreat to a small corner of the room and watch the two inhuman fights from afar.
"What a powerful warrior this is, he can actually suppress the corpse head-on!"
Looking at the two figures twisted in a ball in the distance, the youngest of the three had a flash of fanaticism in his eyes: "It turns out that such a terrifying warrior can be born among us humans, and can fight head-on even when facing terrifying weirdness!"
"This must be a genius from a top knight family. I have seen similar descriptions in historical documents. It is said that some powerful knights can fight against a hundred people on the battlefield. I used to think it was an exaggeration and rumor, but now it seems to be a true record!"
The woman next to him had excitement in her eyes, and she looked at Athir in the distance as if she had seen a treasure.
On the other side, looking at the battle ahead, the middle-aged man in the lead felt excited but also a little worried.
Among the three, he was the oldest and the most careful. Even though he was very excited, he did not forget to observe the battle ahead.
Through observation, he clearly realized that Athir's physical strength was getting weaker and weaker, and he was gradually losing his strength as time passed.
No matter how powerful he is, in essence, he is still a human being. Although he is strong enough to fight against corpses head-on, he is still a mortal body with flesh and blood, and he will feel thirsty, hungry, and tired.
As the battle time goes on, no matter how powerful the knight is, he will be exhausted to death and fall on the opponent's immortal body.
Athir naturally understood this.
As the battle went on, his physical strength was rapidly disappearing. From the absolute dominance at the beginning, he could now only slightly suppress the opponent.
There was a ruthless look in his eyes, and he leaped fiercely at the corpse opposite.
A light green glow enveloped the sword, the seed of life in the body was boiling, and the life energy within was quickly added to the long sword made of black steel.
Looking at Athir's attacking figure, the corpse suddenly raised its head, and madness and cruelty were constantly intertwined in its pupils filled with negative emotions.
She didn't dodge or evade, but reached out directly, seeming to want to grab Athir's sword.
Ouch!!
A sharp scream suddenly rang out, like a woman's fearful cry before death, striking deep into the human soul.
A light green light flashed and chopped hard on the corpse's outstretched arm, cutting it off directly.
The corpse stood quietly there, its face dull and hideous, its body as pale as a corpse.
On her right hand, the front forearm was cut off by the sword, and a little bit of black blood slowly flowed out from the wound.
This was the first time in such a long battle that the opponent's wound had not healed.
"efficient!"
Feeling the changes in the enemy, this thought flashed through Athir's mind, and his originally depressed mood suddenly relaxed.
He raised his sword high, and while the opponent was stunned, he rushed forward quickly, and a dazzling light flashed on the long sword in his right hand.
The seed of life in his body was vibrating rapidly, and all the life energy in Athir's body was extracted and used in this attack.
A light green sword light flashed at the spot, and before his eyes, the body of the woman who was standing there blankly slowly fell down. A hideous head separated from the body and slowly rolled to the side.
Feeling all this, Athir secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The battle has been going on for so long that even a knight-level physique has become exhausted. If the stalemate continues, the only option left is to activate the seed of life.
However, the cost of activating the seed of life is too high, and Athir does not want to take this step unless it is absolutely necessary.
He turned around and looked behind him, wanting to check the body on the ground, but was suddenly stunned and discovered a shocking scene.
On the ground, a pale headless corpse lay there quietly, looking somewhat terrifying.
Under Athir's gaze, the corpse in front of him began to change.
A little bit of faint light slowly emanated from the corpse, like some kind of flame, burning fiercely on the corpse, as if it was going to burn the body to ashes.
"The subject is affected by an unknown force, and physical fitness begins to improve!" The voice of the chip machinery kept echoing in my mind.
A stream of heat quickly flowed through his body, slowly blending into his entire body. The physical strength that had been consumed was also recovering under the influence of some unknown force, allowing him to regain some strength.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sound of a slight heartbeat continued to ring in Athir's ears. In his heart, a seed of life seemed to be affected by something and grew a little bit.
When it was all over, Athir looked at the ground again.
On the ground, the originally pale corpse had changed its appearance. The originally pale flesh and blood seemed to have been burned out by the previous flames, leaving only a woman's skeleton, lying quietly on the ground, without any movement.
Looking at this scene, Athir frowned.
He squatted down and carefully examined the bones on the ground.
There is no trace of burns on the bones. It looks ancient and natural, as if they have been naturally weathered over a long period of time.
His hand quietly stroked the bones of the corpse, finally stopping just below the chest.
There he felt a small protrusion.
It was a black crystal, about the size of a fingernail, flickering with a faint light, looking very mysterious.
Holding the crystal, the familiar voice of the chip continued to sound in Athir's mind.
"It has been found that the crystal contains unknown energy. Direct use may produce beneficial effects!"
