644. Giant Robot / 645. Destroying the Giant Robot

Izayoi was startled and quickly dodged aside, while swinging his longsword at the tiny needle.

With a crisp clang, the black needle was knocked aside. Izayoi’s arm went numb. He had not expected the tiny needle to be so tough, nor its attack power to be so terrifying.

The tiny needle shifted its target to Izayoi’s right leg.

A piercing pain shot through him. Izayoi’s left leg was actually pierced through. He could not help sucking in a breath.

"Kid, you’re no good. Is this all the strength you have?" Seeing Izayoi get hit, the black monsters all burst into mocking laughter. At that moment, their eyes were filled with contempt.

"My strength truly can’t compare to yours, but don’t even think about killing me." As he spoke, Izayoi sped into the distance, wanting to escape this place.

However, with the fog obscuring everything, he could not see clearly at all. Before long, he lost his way in the forest and was pursued by the black monsters.

When the black monsters saw him, they launched a fierce assault. Their bodies transformed into venomous snakes and lunged at Izayoi. Their venom was extremely corrosive; once touched by it, one would immediately be corroded.

Izayoi kept dodging, but a few drops still splashed onto his arm. At once, the smell of smoke spread through the air.

Fortunately, the protective aura around Izayoi’s body was strong enough. Otherwise, he would have long since been corroded by the venom. Even so, the venom left his entire body weak and limp, and his movements grew slower and slower.

This is bad! Izayoi inwardly realized something was wrong. He had already lost his ability to fight. If this continued, he would definitely be killed by these black monsters.

If this goes on, I’ll definitely die here.

Izayoi looked at the path ahead. He wanted to escape, but there was no way out.

At that moment, the black monsters swung their weapons and slashed at Izayoi. Though he dodged with all his strength, his shoulder was still struck.

His flesh was torn open, and blood flowed freely.

Izayoi gritted through the pain, but did not stop. He continued fleeing.

Just then, Izayoi suddenly felt his body tremble, and then he lost all sensation. Looking down, he discovered that his clothes had been completely corroded away in an instant, exposing his fair skin.

"Damn it!" Izayoi’s face paled in horror. He realized he was now like a corpse, covered in venom. No matter how sturdy his physique was, the venom would still corrode his body. What was he supposed to do?

Izayoi’s expression changed slightly. He knew he had to recover as soon as possible, but his entire body was weak, and even moving was difficult, let alone healing his injuries. It was pure torment.

Giant Robot

A blue light suddenly lit up between Izayoi’s brows. It rapidly spread throughout his body, enveloping him entirely. A warm and soothing current flowed through him, making him let out an involuntary groan. At that moment, he finally regained a little strength.

He did not dare linger and hurriedly ran forward. He could not stay here for too long, because if too much time passed, his injuries would worsen, and the danger would become even greater.

Seeing that Izayoi was injured, the black monsters within the black mist mocked, "Kid, stop struggling. Just obediently let us eat you."

Izayoi frowned. He knew these fellows were difficult to deal with, but because of the mist, he could not escape the forest at all.

With that thought, Izayoi swung the sword in his hand. Waves of sword energy formed before him and attacked the black monsters.

However, although his speed was fast, he could not drive the monsters before him back.

Izayoi was frantic. He was already injured, and in this state, he could not possibly escape these monsters’ clutches.

While swinging his sword, Izayoi thought of a solution. The enemies before him were simply too powerful.

At that moment, he remembered that he had a pill that could rapidly increase his strength. He quickly took it out and swallowed it. Immediately, a warm current arose within his body.

It instantly spread throughout his body, making him feel much better. Yet he did not stop swinging his sword. Sharp sword energy continuously surged toward the black mist monsters.

When the black mist monsters saw Izayoi consume a pill that rapidly increased his strength, they were briefly stunned. However, the monsters were all very intelligent and did not act rashly, merely waiting for an opportunity.

Seeing that his attacks had not produced any effect, Izayoi continued wielding his sword and relentlessly attacking the black mist monsters.

Izayoi’s purpose was simple: to buy himself time to recover from his injuries while searching for a way to escape.

Suddenly, he felt the ground beneath his feet become soft. Looking down, he saw that the black mist monsters were closing in on him.

He quickly looked up and discovered that the black mist monsters had already surrounded him.

His heart jolted. He had been so focused on attacking with sword techniques that he had forgotten about what was beneath his feet. Now that he was trapped, breaking out would be exceedingly difficult.

Thinking of this, he became anxious and confused, not knowing what to do.

At that moment, a black monster rushed in front of him. Without thinking too much, Izayoi directly slashed at it.

The black monster did not dodge. It opened its mouth, revealing sharp teeth, and bit down on his sword. His sword was instantly bitten apart.

Looking down, he saw that the tip of his sword was gone. But at that moment, his hand seized the black monster by the neck and violently pulled it backward.

The black monster let out a miserable cry, but could not break free from Izayoi’s grip.

Izayoi dragged the black monster before him and punched it.

Bang! Bang! Several dull impacts rang out as Izayoi sent the black monster flying. Yet it did not die. It arced through the air and landed in the distance.

After sending the black monster flying, Izayoi did not stop. He chased after it and threw several more punches at its body, finally sending it flying backward…

Yet Izayoi still did not give up. He continued following behind the black monster and launched a barrage of attacks. This time, the black monster did not flee, nor did it die, but it was brutally beaten by Izayoi.

After knocking the black monster to the ground, Izayoi took out another sword and ended its life.

Seeing this, the other black monsters mocked, "After all that effort, you only managed to kill one of us. There are still so many of us. Prepare to die."

Hearing this, Izayoi flew into a rage. A layer of red light appeared around his body, and his strength increased greatly.

In his fury, he rapidly killed several black monsters. But immediately afterward, the black monsters surrounded him and began gnawing at his flesh.

He knew he had to quickly deal with the black monsters before him. Otherwise, his situation would become dangerous, because he could feel the black monsters frantically sucking his blood.

His body was growing weaker and weaker. He knew the blood in his body was nearly depleted.

But he knew that no matter what, he had to endure. He could not let the black monsters eat him, or he truly would have nothing left.

He wanted to resist, but he could not do it at all. His heart was already filled with despair.

Just then, a gemstone on his body emitted a dazzling light. The monsters seemed to fear it and immediately fled.

Slaying the Giant Robot

Izayoi continued searching for a way out of the mist, but after searching for a long time, he found nothing. Then he heard a sound. When he looked over, he discovered a giant robot.

The giant robot began attacking him, continuously ramming into him, leaving him in agony and at a loss over what to do.

The robot was extremely fast. It reached him in the blink of an eye and violently sent him flying.

Izayoi rolled through the air before steadying himself. He looked at the robot, which stood in the distance and stared at him quietly. When it saw him looking over, it swung its iron fist at him.

Izayoi slashed at the robot with his sword, but it was completely useless. The robot was simply too large; even with a sharp blade in hand, he could not break through its defenses.

The robot seemed to possess an immortal body. It could not be cut down, and instead, Izayoi was injured by it. He could only use his sword to block.

The robot’s iron fists were extremely hard. Ordinary weapons could not harm it at all. Even Izayoi’s longsword only left a faint mark when it struck.

He quickly used another sword technique, thrusting a longsword into the robot’s chest. It was an extremely powerful move, but it still had no effect, only leaving some marks.

Izayoi used another sword technique and summoned a fire dragon to attack the robot. Yet when the fire dragon struck the robot, it was completely unharmed.

How could this be? Izayoi was deeply shocked. He could not believe his swordsmanship was so powerful, so why could he not kill the robot?

Seeing Izayoi constantly testing it, the robot did not hold back. It swung its iron fist at Izayoi, and Izayoi refused to yield, swinging his sword to clash with it.

The battle between them was extremely intense. Izayoi constantly used sword techniques, but the robot did not fall behind in the slightest.

Suddenly, Izayoi unleashed a finishing move. A sword shadow slashed toward the robot, but the robot did not dodge. Instead, it swung a fist at the sword shadow. After the two sword shadows collided, they exploded and shattered into fragments.

The robot did not stop attacking because of Izayoi’s ultimate move. It continued punching at him, while Izayoi answered with his sword. Their attacks became increasingly fierce, sword light scattering everywhere as the battle raged.

But no matter how sharp Izayoi’s swordsmanship was, he could not harm the robot. Nor did he dare casually use his sword techniques, because whenever he did, the robot would attack in response.

With that thought, he hurriedly fled into the distance. However, the robot chased after him at tremendous speed and quickly caught up. Izayoi swung his sword at it, but it had little effect.

The robot’s defense was simply too strong. Attacks of that level were no more than a tickle to it, not worth mentioning at all.

Seeing that he was no match for the robot, Izayoi hurriedly ran back. Yet the robot continued tightly pursuing him, and Izayoi did not dare give up as he sprinted wildly.

Before long, the robot caught up and punched him in the back. Izayoi was sent flying and crashed heavily to the ground.

Izayoi’s body rolled across the ground several times before finally coming to a stop. He slowly crawled up, braced himself against the ground, and gradually stood.

He felt as though his entire body had fallen apart, the pain unbearable. It felt as though his bones were about to break. He slowly sat down and felt waves of intense pain coursing through his body.

He knew the robot’s strength was immense, but he could still endure it.

His gaze turned cold. This robot had actually attacked him without regard for his identity. He decided he could not continue like this. He had to use some trump cards, or he would certainly be defeated.

With that thought, he gathered energy into his sword and slashed at the robot, hoping this move would defeat it. Yet it still had no effect. The robot’s fist heavily struck his abdomen.

Izayoi spat out a mouthful of blood and was blasted far away. He felt as though his internal organs had shifted out of place. The feeling was so painful he could barely endure it.

He tried to stand, but the robot was too powerful. Even with all his strength, he could only barely crawl up. Yet he was unwilling to accept it and continued trying. Finally, he stood once more.

Though he looked much worse than before, he had managed to stand. Seeing the robot walking toward him, he felt utterly helpless.

He felt like a lamb awaiting slaughter, left at the mercy of his opponent. The feeling was unbearably stifling.

Even on the battlefield, he had never felt such intense fear.

The feeling was truly oppressive, making it hard for Izayoi to breathe. Yet he did not lose heart. He gritted his teeth and charged forward, wanting to resist.

At that moment, the gemstone he carried seemed to sense his fighting spirit and attached itself to his sword.

Attack speed

After the gemstone attached itself to his sword, Izayoi felt that his blade had become sharper. He looked at the giant robot in the distance, then drew his sword and slashed at it. Though the strike did not immediately destroy the robot, it left a very visible mark on its body. This was already far better than before.

Seeing that Izayoi had injured it, the robot flew into a rage. It raised its arm and fired a black beam at Izayoi.

Izayoi quickly retreated, avoiding the black beam. Then he discovered that the black beam seemed to have eyes, relentlessly pursuing him.

While retreating, Izayoi swung his longsword to block it, resisting while searching for an opening.

He rushed before the robot at incredible speed and slashed again. Another wound appeared on the robot’s body, but it did not die. It was merely injured.

"Hmph!" The robot glared furiously at Izayoi before raising its fist and punching at him.

Izayoi dodged and discovered that the robot’s attack speed was extremely slow. Its attacks also lacked any tricks, so he easily avoided them.

Seeing Izayoi effortlessly evade its attack, the robot was greatly shocked. It found that the attack had no effect and wanted to attack again, but Izayoi, who had been watching it closely, suddenly appeared before it.

The longsword in his hand viciously stabbed into the robot’s abdomen.

He had thought the move would work, but he was disappointed. It might have worked against ordinary people, but it had no effect at all against a mechanical lifeform.

After all, mechanical lifeforms had incomparably hard bodies, and their intelligence far surpassed that of ordinary humans.

The robot felt pain, but did not stop attacking. Izayoi quickly retreated, but at that moment, he heard a loud noise behind him.

The robot had launched another attack. This time, it struck toward his head. Seeing this, Izayoi quickly dodged while continuing to attack the robot.

But he did not know that while he attacked, the robot had already pulled back its fist and aimed it at him.

Izayoi dodged the robot’s attack and was about to continue attacking it, but he was once again sent flying by the robot’s fist.

This time, he did not stop until he crashed into a tree. It had all happened in an instant, before Izayoi could react.

Izayoi was left dazed by the impact.

He swung his sword again, pouring even more energy into it and summoning a massive fire dragon.

But this time, he had wrongly judged the robot’s strength. When the fire dragon appeared before it, the robot was not afraid at all. It even attacked the fire dragon, greatly surprising him.

The fire dragon was knocked down, and Izayoi also fell to the ground. The robot then walked toward Izayoi.

Izayoi hurriedly climbed up and looked at the robot approaching him. This is bad!

He quickly gathered his power into his sword and released waves of sword energy, but the robot easily avoided all of them without suffering any damage at all.

The Palace in the Distance

Its body merely swayed slightly, but Izayoi knew that if this continued, he would definitely lose to the robot. He quickly took out a pill. After swallowing it, his speed and strength increased severalfold.

Then he charged at the robot with his sword in hand. He wanted to kill the robot with his fiercest assault and obtain the treasure on its body.

This time, the robot dodged his attack again. But as it dodged, it swung its fist at Izayoi once more.

Bang! Izayoi was sent flying again.
