Chapter 115: Chapter 115
It wasn't that Kurohane wanted to complain, it was just that Loki was such a promising magical prospect. Instead of learning magical skills like Charge, Jump Attack, Cleave, Whirlwind, and Execute, he chose to play with daggers! "Isn't this ruining a good prospect?" Kurohane shook his head, his gaze conveying disappointment. "The key is he hasn't even mastered the essence of daggers; besides his goofy brother, Thor, he's never once stabbed anyone in the kidney!"
Kurohane usually didn't use the Seraphim Shield much in combat; his fighting philosophy was about brute force. Killing the opponent before they killed him was enough. But the Cursed Warrior had a special ability to absorb others' life force through its hands. Kurohane's physique wasn't easily gained; it would be horrible if his muscles atrophied! "I don't have time to hit the gym and eat hundreds of pounds of protein powder to get it back!" he muttered, a hint of anxiety in his voice.
The Cursed Warrior merely glanced at Kurohane and sensed a trace of the Reality Stone's energy on him. "Aw—!!!" The Cursed Warrior let out a beast-like roar, then charged like a small tank. Everything in its path—tables, chairs, and benches—was sent flying, shattering into pieces. A fist the size of a clay pot whistled through the air and slammed into Kurohane!
Clang!
The Seraphim Shield in Kurohane's hand shattered from the impact, transforming into golden flecks of light that vanished into the air. Kurohane's enhanced body also couldn't withstand it and was sent flying backward several meters, his shoes scraping against the stone floor, creating a sharp screeching sound!
After Kurohane was sent flying, the Cursed Warrior's massive hand reached out towards Frigga. The short sword in Frigga's hand continuously slashed, but only left a few superficial scratches on the Cursed Warrior's arm. Seeing the glowing red hand about to grip her with "the throat of fate," just like in the original plot, a flash of brilliant sword light appeared. The Cursed Warrior's palm was severed at the wrist. Then its face was kicked by a large foot, it stumbled backward, and shrieked in agony!
Foul-smelling black blood splattered everywhere in the air, dripping onto tables and chairs like concentrated sulfuric acid, leaving corroded black holes of various sizes, filling the air with a pungent, foul stench.
"What immense power, can the Reality Stone also have a body-strengthening effect?" Kurohane mumbled to himself, flexing his left hand. Even with a magic shield blocking it earlier, the force had truly transferred to his body. His left hand was still somewhat numb, and his bones ached slightly.
Pulling Frigga aside, Kurohane ducked down and surged towards the Cursed Warrior. There was at least a half-meter height difference between the two of them, and with Kurohane crouched low, he was only as tall as the Cursed Warrior's thigh!
The wound on the Cursed Warrior's palm healed rapidly, as if glowing hot iron had been pressed directly onto it. After a puff of black smoke billowed from the wound, the foul-smelling black blood stopped flowing. Its other intact hand clenched into a fist and once again swung it towards Kurohane's head!
The Cursed Warrior was fast, but Kurohane was faster!
[Bullet Time]!
High-concentration adrenaline flooded Kurohane's body in an instant, as if it were free. His heart roared like a 12-cylinder car engine, and the world in Kurohane's eyes became incredibly slow! He dodged the Cursed Warrior's punch with the smallest possible movement, then launched a lightning-fast attack, stabbing directly into the Cursed Warrior's crotch!
The Deadly Cock Attack!!!
Ow ow ow ow—!!!!
No male creature could withstand this kind of pain; Kurohane was ruthless. He had even secretly infused Sacred Energy into his blade, which clashed with the Reality Stone's energy within the Cursed Warrior's body, creating an intense burning effect, which greatly amplified the pain. Painful? Of course, it was painful!
The Cursed Warrior immediately lost the strength to fight back, its hands instinctively reaching for its crotch, its body doubled over in pain. But Kurohane stomped his foot hard on the floor, and his two light wings flapped behind him, propelling him upwards. Kurohane shot straight into the sky, the tightly held blade slicing through the Cursed Warrior's body, cutting it directly in half. Hot black blood splattered everywhere. The light wings behind Kurohane were like broad shields, blocking all the blood. It was only after the two halves of the Cursed Warrior fell like a collapsing mountain that Kurohane shook the wings on his back, shaking off the black blood, returning them to their clean appearance before retracting them.
[Killed the strongest Cursed Warrior of the Dark Elves, Justice Value +200]
"Not bad!" Kurohane grinned. "At least equivalent to three Dark Elves!"
Because the Cursed Warrior's punch destroyed his shield, Kurohane decided to go to Wakanda immediately upon returning to Earth! "Taking damage still relies on a Vibranium shield; Steve's shield is practically a causality weapon," he thought. "He won't be harmed at all when he holds the shield in his hand, even a Gatling gun can't do anything to him. I must get one for myself!"
He had seen three great metals in the Marvel World: Adamantium, Vibranium, and Uru Metal. Adamantium was the strongest in terms of hardness, capable of even cutting diamonds. Vibranium could absorb kinetic energy and was extremely suitable for making armor. Uru Metal, while still possessing sufficient hardness, could also be imbued with various kinds of magic. So whether it was Mjolnir or the Infinity Gauntlet, they were all made using Uru Metal.
"Kurohane's Sagittarius Cloth is just for show, it doesn't have any magical elements yet!" Kurohane sighed. "The Dwarf King could have actually carved some defensive magic into the armor when forging it. Given Kurohane's identity as a wizard, the Dwarf King didn't want to show off. But the Dwarf King never expected that Kurohane wasn't a true wizard. Let him enchant his own armor? That's like a widow losing her son—hopeless."
However, from Kurohane's perspective, his weapons and armor were already top-tier, so, having a strong shield was a must!
Frigga merely stared blankly at Kurohane's display; Kurohane killed the Cursed Warrior almost instantly. His movements were elegant yet contained a hint of vulgarity, upright yet holding cunning trickery. It was difficult to describe! However, he didn't look like a true Kamar-Taj wizard at all!
Yet, after the Cursed Warrior fell, Frigga's heart suddenly felt much lighter. It was as if a yoke on her shoulders had suddenly vanished, making her feel comfortable from the inside out!
"Look!" Kurohane grinned at Frigga, winking, a meaningful smile gracing his lips. "Fate cannot be changed, can it?"
