The tall humanoid figure seemed to be shrouded in a mist, and no matter how hard Xiar tried, he could not fully see through it.
Mysterious!
Eerie!
Formidable!
Yet, with his strong mental power, Xiar faintly sensed that the figure was emanating a familiar gray aura, which filled him with an involuntary sense of dread.
This dread did not stem from fear of the figure itself, but rather from the influence of its mysterious aura, making him feel afraid against his will.
It was as if the being were a demon spreading terror and despair, toying with the human psyche at will.
Xiar did not know much about it; he only knew that it was named Nyap. In the original storyline, it had not been released because Clark had hypnotized those hostile individuals.
But now, Clark had been eliminated by him, and Nyap had been successfully freed.
“Clark was responsible for keeping it contained, which means mental power can affect it?” A thought flashed through Xiar's mind as he unhesitatingly issued a command to Firefly.
Absolute Domination!
Firefly's eyes blazed with purple light, transforming into an almost tangible purple beam that crashed down onto the strange entity, causing its body—previously poised to move—to suddenly freeze in place. It was indeed effective!
Boom!
Bean seized the opportunity and delivered a powerful punch. This time, the figure did not dissipate; instead, it extended its thin, claw-like arm and fiercely countered.
The clash between the two powerful beings erupted with a sharp explosive sound, deafening to the ears.
Under the interference of Firefly's formidable psychic abilities, the opponent could no longer vanish as before and was forced into close combat with Bean.
At that moment, Bean's combat prowess was fully unleashed; each punch created a vacuum, and his speed surpassed that of sound.
The two warriors engaged in a terrifying melee, moving so fast that they left afterimages in their wake. Each attack was fearsome, tearing through the surrounding walls and stone pillars like paper.
Amidst this wanton destruction, massive cracks appeared in the dome of the Central Laboratory building, threatening imminent collapse.
Just then, Gafiel's purple beast suddenly launched an attack, clashing fiercely with Moon Child.
"Damn it, what kind of ability is this? How can it control a Third-Level Spirit Master?" Xiar realized that Gafiel had also fallen into a state of manipulation.
He could see the struggle etched on Gafiel's face, but the Amethyst Beast showed no hesitation in its assault on Moon Child. Every strike was merciless, disregarding defense entirely as it launched powerful attacks.
This situation could not continue!
Xiar's body began to change subtly; golden and red patterns emerged on his cheeks, giving him an increasingly eerie appearance.
His gaze shimmered with purple light as he strode toward the bewildered Gafiel. "Teacher, I am your student, your most prized pupil, the one destined to inherit your legacy. Why are you attacking me?"
However, his mental hypnosis proved completely ineffective and backfired instead.
Gafiel's stature suddenly surged from under five feet to over six feet tall. Muscles bulged across his body, covered by a shell resembling that of a crab, enveloping even his head in armor.
Bone blades sprouted from his body, and his hands transformed into claw-like appendages reminiscent of a Mantis. His legs were shrouded in black armor.
In just ten seconds, the figure transformed from an inconspicuous old man into a terrifying, monstrous creature.
"Haha, how interesting! My esteemed teacher, I never expected you to undergo such modifications to your body. Truly, you are a mad scientist, a true experimenter!"
Xiar laughed heartily, charging forward without hesitation. "Let's see whose transformation is more successful!"
Boom!
He struck the creature's menacing claw with a punch that seemed ordinary but sent it staggering back several steps.
After the bizarre changes brought on by the Evolution Potion, Xiar appeared unchanged on the surface, yet he had undergone a terrifying metamorphosis, evolving infinitely towards something inhuman.
"Charles Mesterling
Mental 199, Strength 99, Constitution 10, Agility 89"
At this moment, he had surpassed most Evolved Totems and could easily be described as a monster wearing human skin.
His senses had multiplied several times over; his muscles and bones had tightened significantly. A layer of soft yet hard keratin membrane covered his skin, perfectly capable of withstanding attacks from ordinary blades.
The wind howled as Xiar unleashed the surging power within him, engaging in fierce combat with the monstrous Gafiel.
Each of his attacks produced sharp sounds as they sliced through the air, relying solely on his own strength without the aid of Totem Armament or any other abilities.
"Not enough! Not enough! Too slow, too slow!"
Xiar roared, his speed—already exceeding thirty meters per second—surged once more, moving like a phantom as he surrounded and attacked his opponent.
Every punch he threw could shatter trees as thick as water buckets. His opponent had no means to resist under the storm of his attacks, forced to passively endure the torment.
Indeed, violent combat was the romance of a man!
"Fall down for me!"
Xiar leaped into the air, delivering a punch that struck his opponent's head, knocking him down and smashing into the hard rock beneath them.
He placed a foot on his opponent's back, gripping both of his arms tightly with one hand. Leaning down, he forced their gazes to meet and whispered, "Teacher, are you still not awake?"
A purple glow swirled around, and mental waves surged into his opponent's mind, crashing against a strange thought.
That thought was cold and cruel, indifferent to life, lunging at him like a venomous snake.
"Get lost!"
Xiar's mental energy suddenly transformed into a blade, piercing through his opponent and directly shattering him!
The Amethyst Beast immediately ceased its attack, dissipating into a purple radiance, clearly indicating that his strike had been effective.
However, Gafiel did not awaken; instead, he fell deeper into unconsciousness.
Xiar instructed the Burrowing Beast to watch over him while Firefly continued to assist Bean in attacking that strange entity. Without hesitation, he walked toward the underground passage.
His primary purpose for coming here was not to fight but to acquire Morent's core technology—Totem Armament!
In his vision, by utilizing Totem Armament and Evolution Potion, he aimed to forge an invincible army that would dominate the entire world.
Now, the Evolution Potion had been initially analyzed by him, and he needed to obtain the Totem Armament Core Data as soon as possible and then leave Morent!
“Hahaha, I almost missed this grand show; it’s simply fantastic!”
A wildly exuberant voice echoed down from the sky, crashing through the dome and sending shards raining down within thirty meters of Xiar.
“Stop him!” Xiar didn’t spare him a glance.
“Understood!”
The gray mist in the distance suddenly vanished, and a figure emerged from it, charging toward Isaac with fierce intent.
At that moment, he was covered in strange patterns reminiscent of Xiar's, with his power and speed dramatically increased, doubling his combat effectiveness!
