Chapter 455: Chapter 453: Desleek’s Dark Hand

Death spread.

The noblewoman flying dozens of meters in the air had a look of difficulty on her face, and she proactively rose to a hundred meters to avoid being affected by this wave of death.

The Blood citizens following her move upward had two individuals contaminated by death who rapidly died.

The manner of death was unlike the ‘suicide’ after being permeated by the Death Plague. Instead, their bodies aged rapidly, and even the aging areas tore open like they were being gnawed and ripped.

Such a brutal form of death was something the noblewoman had never seen before.

“How is this guy still related to the Original Tomb, and just how many powers are entangled with him?

Moreover, this expression of death is extremely violent. It’s already a ‘qualitative death’ within the realm of the Death Plague Knights… How can he achieve this extent while still being Open Source?

This is the first time I see such a patient! His physique seems to have a strong tolerance for all illnesses. If so, he may even perfectly accept My Lord’s blood and complete the final ritual ahead of time.

Such a hybrid like him might truly become the legendary ‘King’s Container’.”

With this thought, the woman’s ten fingers suddenly sprouted pitch-black structures like mosquito proboscises, and she wanted to dive down to deal with this young man prematurely and offer him to her master.

Just as she was about to dive,

The gatekeeper, Pim, holding the Black Flame Spiral Sword, immediately sensed her arrival. Ignoring the ripped wound on his shoulder, he glared with bloody eyes beneath his skin, and abruptly looked up.

This gaze and the suppression aimed at the Skin Bag forced the woman to stop.

“Indecent, it’s truly indecent~ Let Pim have a good time with him. We can just pick up the body at the last moment. There’s no need to take risks.

Merely Open Source, he cannot be compared with a Skin Bag Apostle.”

The woman calmed down and returned to the sky.

She also reconsidered the young man who was a combination of various attributes, moving her gaze from his physique slowly toward the special weapon in his palms.

A sense of danger was conveyed from the weapon, and there was even an intuitive feeling of being beheaded.

“There’s no mistake, this is a Death Weapon of the Death Plague Knights’ standard… I wonder if this guy has a Dead Horse or not?”

Meanwhile,

Although William faintly felt someone cursing him, he who was deeply engrossed in the state of Death only focused on the battle before him, indulging in a deep, dark slaughter.

The weapon entrenched inside the gatekeeper had already freed itself from the constraints of the shroud and revealed its true form.

It was also quite satisfied with the first taste of the ‘flesh quality’ used to whet its edge, to the extent that even the entire weapon was clicking with content.

Forged by Mr. Alpaki, the accompanying craftsman of the Death Plague Knights, according to William’s nature of death, the weapon’s shape was bizarre. It was even rare within the entire Knight Order.

‘Hand Axe’

An arm compressed by muscle served as the handle, sized just right for William’s grip,

The humerus, ulna, and radius of this arm were completely stripped away, replaced by the original Dead Spine. The entire Dead Spine was implanted into the arm, with parts even exposed on the surface.

Perhaps due to the forging effect of the Dead Person Wedge Stone, the entire arm looked withered and darkened, its surface full of wrinkles to increase the grip and prevent slippage.

‘Axe Head’ – On top of the blackened and withered arm was a complete hand structure,

An axe blade grew between the palms. Precisely speaking, the blade derived from the vertebral bones of the arm. It was even the part with the highest bone density,

And through perfect forging skills, the ‘Dead Person Wedge Stone’ and the bony blade were perfectly combined, the surface still shimmering with Deadwater gloss.

The axe head, black and profound with symbols of the dead, thus formed,

Paired with the tight grip of five fingers, it enhanced the stability of the blade. It could even make fine adjustments during a chop to increase lethality.

This was the form and structure of the brand new weapon, truly a ‘Hand Axe’ by every definition,

Length and weight suitable for William, ideal for single-handed use and complementing the gunfire attack of the other hand.

An even more important point,

This Hand Axe retained a “Biological Structure” – including skin, blood vessels, and nerves, these structures with transmission functions, allowing William to conduct effective energy transfer and weapon manipulation.

When the weapon was held in his hand, William’s fingers and the axe handle stuck together, and the nerves also combined.

It appeared as though he was simply gripping it, but in reality, the Hand Axe had become an external part of William’s body, with control maxed out.

Additionally, through the blood vessel structure between his arms, William could at any time deliver a large dose of Black Liquid to increase the Death concentration of the Hand Axe, even to the point of expanding the attack range like the Black Flame of the Spiral Sword.

The Hand Axe, merged with William’s dark side, seemed extremely frenzied and bloodthirsty.

After splitting the Gatekeeper’s body, his entire arm was twitching faintly, exhilarated.

Through his retinas, the gentleman’s clothes transmitted detailed information about the Hand Axe, and the name had changed from the original Dead Spine Lake.

“The Blackhand of Deathlike,”

“The Black Hand carries commands from the abyss of the dead, spreading the most brutal Death Slaughter to the world.”

…

Back jump.

Perceiving a threat and a 1/10 liquid reduction between the silver frames, the large Gatekeeper Pim managed to distance himself with a superfast back jump.

He inspected the wound on his shoulder with bleeding eyes.

This Death Pain from the Original Tomb seemed to have sobered him somewhat, the paranoia and madness from the Blood Plague slightly suppressed, providing him with a rare opportunity for thought and rationality.

“The Death Plague Knight actually wants to invade the sacred Skin Factory… Unforgivable, I must send these dead back to where they belong.”

However, the slight sobriety only led him to see William as a Death Plague Knight, further strengthening his resolve to behead the target.

He stabbed the Spiral Sword into the wound with a backhand motion and burned the flesh with Black Flame, eliminating the residual Death, effectively disinfecting… Once the wound was fully charred, the skin fused to complete the physical repair.

Not only that,

Since the target was the renowned Death Plague Knight, Pim decided to put forth all his strength to repel, even kill him.

The Attribute steeped in the Blood River over the years was activated, more blood oozed from the seven orifices, and something on his back began to wriggle madly.

A Skin Sack Bible unique to him was held high in hand, the pages flipping wildly.

A stream of ancient language poured from Pim’s mouth:

“Restriction Removal – Holy Blood Leather Suit”

A Cross structure representing the Blood Plague emerged from Pim’s forehead, stretching to its maximum extent, hanging about five centimeters in front of his forehead.

Drops of blood oozed continuously from the skin wrapped around the Cross, signifying Pim’s other identity.

Shush! His back split open, and two blood-veined Skin Wings unfurled, spanning a full seven meters, with ancient text etched by the blood veins between the wings.

An odor mixed with sebum and blood surged out, reaching for the sky.

The Blood Wings flapped, feet sprinting! Whoosh~ The burst of speed was even faster than before, almost double!

Kill!

The Spiral Giant Sword in his hand was no longer swung, instead thrusting forward… like a pitch-black spear, piercing the target.

William, unable to react in time, was impaled through the body and lifted into the air.

Black Flame gathered, burning completely!

You could even hear the sound of flesh charring, and the iron chains inside glowing red-hot, only the brain protected within a special skull cavity remained undamaged; some profound passive Death was triggered.
