Maud smiled.
"The slash hidden in the shadow can finally hurt you, Kaido."
Before he finished speaking, another wound appeared on Kaido's body out of thin air, and a bloody arrow shot out.
Shadow Slash, which even Whitebeard had to suffer in the past, became outstanding again at this moment.
This is an ability that is impossible to guard against in close hand-to-hand combat.
"The slash hidden in the shadow..."
Kaido's face changed slightly.
It turns out that the person who was dragged into the quagmire was not Maud, but him.
All of a sudden.
There was an unknown fire in Kaido's heart for no reason.
But he managed to remain calm and chose to avoid the sharp attack temporarily and look for opportunities to retreat.
"From the moment I ate the Shadow Fruit, I was destined to take it to unprecedented heights."
"Not because it is a shadow fruit, but because I was the one who ate it."
Mod looked at Kaido who was retreating. Instead of pursuing him, he squatted down and placed his left palm on the ground.
"Keep your eyes open, the so-called shadows are everywhere."
The words just fell.
The ground he saw in front of him instantly turned into a dark wave of shadows, roaring towards Kaido like an angry wave.
With just one encounter, Kaido was swallowed up by the majestic shadow wave.
"I knew it wouldn't be over so soon."
"However, you have no chance of winning, Kaido."
Chapter 430: Silent Kaido
The huge wave of shadows completely engulfed Kaido with lightning speed.
But Mord stood on the dark waves, and as the battle gradually became more intense, he spoke and asserted Kaido's defeat.
He looked calmly at the surging wave of shadows.
After awakening, the shadow ability can assimilate the surrounding things into countless shadows.
Although it improves the range of lethality and diversity, too large a range will dilute the intensity of the weapon color.
Facing a physical monster like Kaido, it will definitely be difficult to achieve results.
The most it can do is restrict Kaido for a second or two.
"boom!"
On top of the surging shadow tide, there was a sudden explosion, and dark shadow water rose into the sky.
Just as Mod expected, Kaido broke free from the control of the shadow tide without any pressure and rushed out of the shadow splash.
However, the moment he rushed out, Maude, who was holding the double swords of Qiushui Ferret, was already ready to attack and stepped in front of him.
Seal the devil!
The black and white blades crossed and slashed towards Kaido's chest.
"Um?!"
Kaido's eyes narrowed and he hurriedly raised his mace to block Mod's attack.
clang!
Amidst the harsh and clanging sound, Kaido's body was like a meteor falling downwards like a wave of shadows.
After all, he blocked it too hastily, and because he was stuck in the air, he was cut down directly by Morde's double swords.
Bang!
Kaido slammed into the shadow tide, causing a large "splash".
The shadows around him reacted instantly, squeezing towards Kaido like tarsal maggots.
Kaido's face darkened slightly, and he waved his mace to scatter the omnipresent shadows around him.
Although these liquid-like shadows couldn't even pierce his skin, they-
Having a swarm of ants crawling on your body is not a good feeling.
As soon as Kaido swept away the squeezing shadow tide, Mord's attack came again like a shadow.
It's still a ghostly speed, and it's still a slash with a domineering look.
It's just that Kaido always maintained his sense of knowledge and didn't give Mod any chance at all, and was always able to block Mod's attack at the last moment.
After more than ten rounds of fighting.
Despite the assistance of inexhaustible shadow tides, Moder was unable to break through Kaido's defense.
What can be done is to increase the number of wounds on Kaido's body through shadow slashing.
But Shadow Slash has an unavoidable shortcoming, and that is its lack of lethality.
Or-
When fighting against an enemy with abnormal resilience like Kaido, the damage benefit caused by Shadow Slash is not as high as expected.
If the enemy he fights against is a strong man from the old era like Whitebeard who is plagued by illness, the cumulative damage caused by the shadow slash can achieve significant results.
The types of enemies are different, and the benefits of various moves are also different to a certain extent.
Mod realized that the Shadow Slash would not cause much trouble to Kaido, but he didn't care and continued to attack Kaido.
With the help of the shadow wave, Kaido could only fall into passive defense for a while.
In the constant back and forth of offense and defense, Kaido attempts to take back the initiative.
However, the shadows everywhere around him would always pry off his fingers on the edge of the cliff one by one at the perfect moment.
This is the advantage of the superhuman system after its awakening.
Although it lacks lethality, it can disrupt Kaido's rhythm.
that's all-
Kaido was suppressed by Mod.
Overpowered in close combat...
This was a situation Kaido didn't expect.
But even though he was at a disadvantage, Kaido did not lose his position.
The ability of the phantom beast in the form of a blue dragon is his most powerful backing in battle.
Even if he can't gain the advantage now, as long as this battle turns into a tug-of-war, the resilience and toughness of the Phantom Beast will help him slowly regain the advantage.
Kaido had a clear mind and simply switched from offense to defense. Like a rock, he blocked all Mod's attacks.
Just in terms of endurance, how does the Superman type compare to the Phantom Beast type
What's more, from Kaido's point of view, it would certainly take a lot of energy for Mod to control so many shadows to help in the battle.
Therefore, as long as we stabilize the current situation and win this battle, it is no problem.
Kaido seemed to have seen the outcome of this battle.
But at the moment when he thought this, a sudden torrent flowed throughout his body.
"Why... I have this 'lucky' idea...!!!"
Kaido's eyes suddenly changed.
He, who had always only wanted to enjoy the oppressive feeling of life and death in the fight, actually gave up what he had been doing in order to defeat Mod.
This is tantamount to retreating.
Kaido, who suddenly realized this, turned slightly ugly.
I am Kaido the Beast! ! !
Invisibly, Kaido roared in his heart.
The sudden change between emotions was intuitively transmitted to the mace in his hand.
The defense instantly turned into an offensive, and became extremely fierce.
laugh!
Kaido refused to dodge and let Mord slash him with the sword.
As blood spattered, Kaido jumped up, spinning the mace in his hands, and black lightning flashed in mid-air.
"Jiang Sanshi, Yin Nai Luo!"
The opportunity gained by resisting the knife turned into a ferocious attack, from top to bottom, like a black lightning hitting Maud's body.
Mod also didn't expect that Kaido, who had always been cautious since the start of the fight, would suddenly become so crazy, insisting on carrying the attack and sending the mace wrapped in the color of the Overlord in front of him.
In an anxious attack and defense, this is basically a sure hit attack.
Unfortunately-
Maude is the only one in the world who can escape from this seemingly inevitable attack.
"Apparating."
Maude's figure disappeared instantly.
And before disappearing, the stoat that had been chopped out cut a wound on Kaido's abdomen.
"Boom!"
As Mod disappeared, Jiang III. Yin Nai Luo hit the empty space.
The shock wave generated shattered the ground in the area into countless fragments.
Maud, who was revealed dozens of meters away, lightly wiped away the blood that seeped out from his collarbone.
This small, insignificant wound was caused by Kaido's Rise of the Third, Yinara hit the shadow mark.
It was a crazy blow, but it only produced this result, which was really a pity.
If it were anyone else, he would probably have to endure Kaido's crazy attack.
but.
The reason why Mod was able to use [Transformation] while in the [Pisces Flow] state was because he had previously killed the World Destroyer, which raised the demon's ability level to nine and a half stars.
On the devastated ground, Kaido lowered his head slightly and silently looked at the two conspicuous knife wounds on his body.
Exchanging injuries for injuries is the method he most often uses in battle.
Now-
He encountered the toughest enemy in his life.
Chapter 431: One knife stained with blood
Take the damage and then counterattack.
This is the most typical trick for those with awakened animal abilities.
The principle here is to transform one's own strong defense power and unreasonable recovery power into effective lethality.
If you can successfully replace injuries, it is equivalent to gaining an advantage in combat.
As one of the Four Emperors of the New World and the owner of the blue dragon form of the fantasy beast species, Kaido has taken this characteristic to the extreme.
In addition to a handful of top powerhouses such as Charlotte Lingling, Kaido can undoubtedly become invincible in a single duel with this unique injury-exchanging trick.
In the original work.
The reason why Luffy, who was full of firepower, was defeated in the blink of an eye was because Kaido withstood Luffy's attack and then got an opportunity to pour all the damage on Luffy.
If we use data to describe this unique injury-exchanging trick, it is equivalent to Kaido only using 1 point of injury in exchange for 100 points of effective damage to Luffy.
In the battle against Mod, due to the intervention of Overlord Color Coil, Kaido had to use 80 points of damage in exchange for 100 points of effective damage to Mod.
