Six-style paper painting is a very useful move. If you learn it deeply, you can even avoid all attacks in close combat without using your eyes or domineering force. You can avoid all attacks simply by relying on skin perception.
But there is a premise!
Paper painting's dodge is produced by capturing the air flow, which means there must be fluctuations caused by attacks in order to carry out targeted dodge.
But now, no!
Not only is it impossible to observe sight, smell, and color, but surprisingly there is no even the most basic air flow. These black mist seem to really not exist, except for the color, there is no other way to observe it.
"Why do you think that you, who can't find any trace of me, can find traces of the black mist?"
Ryder sneered. Before Ron could evacuate at an explosive speed, a group of black mist as tall as a man hovered in front of him and turned into a ferocious drill, which pierced hard.
Bang! !
Fortunately, the black mist still existed as an entity. Ron raised his thunder halberd in front of him, blocking the terrifying attack that would tear him into two pieces.
But as a price, the moment his movements paused, dense black mist surged up around him, and half a second later, countless blood flowers bloomed from his skin.
"Ho!"
Blood dripped down like rain. Ron couldn't help but staggered, swung the thunder halberd, took the opportunity to finally distance himself, and gasped for air.
There was no good piece of meat on his body, and the black mist rubbed through his skin like a meat grinder, dripping with blood.
The self-healing ability is now fully activated, and the intertwined granulations are constantly weaving to heal the wound.
In this regard, Ryder did not rush to pursue him. He turned into a black mist and silently flew forward to the place where Ron was bleeding.
call out!
A falling blood bead was attracted, and after pausing in mid-air for a moment, it flew upwards against common sense and disappeared into the black mist.
"This is… !"
Ron stared at this scene with wide eyes and an ugly expression.
I almost forgot that the most terrifying ability of the vampire fruit is not only the black mist, but also the ability to suck human blood like the legendary biological vampire.
"Hmm... It is indeed the blood of the famous Navy Soryu. It tastes really good. The power your blood brings to me is comparable to me draining a small town dry."
Ryder looked satisfied, as if the blood submerged in the black mist was sucked into his body.
Speaking of this, he looked slightly surprised: "So you are really not a human, right?"
"This blood actually wants to take root in my body."
It was indeed a great supplement, but what surprised Ryder was that the blood didn't seem to be that easy to conquer.
They did not immediately turn it into nutrients to nourish their own bodies, but instead plundered the surrounding nutrients and continued to replicate themselves.
If an ordinary person accidentally swallowed this kind of blood, the consequences would be shuddering to think about.
In response, Ron moved his lips: "How disgusting!"
"Although I have also drank raw horse blood, I prefer cooked pig blood, duck blood, and chicken blood."
"Please forgive me for not being able to accept human blood or anything like that."
"But I'm really curious..."
Ron looked up at Ryder, who was a hundred meters away, and tilted his head: "How does it taste?"
Ryder: "..."
"Haha, this joke is not funny. What I said is a description. The power your blood can provide me is very good. Do you understand?"
"Oh, that's how it is… "
Ron picked his nose carelessly: "What a disappointment! I thought you had stopped being a human being after you started feeding on human blood, jo... Well, it's nothing."
Ryder: "..."
"Go to hell, kid!"
Moon step!
The spikes of black mist struck again, and the black mist that could not be captured by sight and did not produce any fluctuations could only be observed with the eyes.
So Ron stepped on the air decisively and dodged within a limited range, always capturing the position of the black mist within his line of sight to avoid being penetrated into the air by the black mist.
"Useless resistance! Just relying on the moon steps is too slow!"
Speaking of this, Ryder rolled up thick black clouds and roared in. The moonlight in the sky was blocked, casting a large shadow.
"drink!"
Faced with Ryder approaching in person, Ron did not dare to be careless and repeatedly waved the long and powerful thunder halberd in his hand to cut through the covering black fog.
But this obviously couldn't cause much damage to Ryder, and even whether he hit or not was a mystery. The cut black mist quickly squirmed and continued to form a "dark cloud", covering Ron.
"No, I can't hold it anymore!"
The defensive circle formed by the dancing thunder halberd was continuously compressed, and Ryder's scarlet eyes were exposed, like the most evil devil, constantly approaching Ron.
"I'm going to drain your blood, bastard!"
Cold murderous intent licked his neck, and suddenly, severe pain came from the back of Ron's hand, and his movements of dancing the thunder halberd came to a halt.
A line of black mist spread from his feet at some point, shot straight upward, and pierced through the back of his palm.
The defensive circle was immediately broken. Ryder did not waste this good opportunity. He rolled up the black cloud and rushed towards Ron. His canine teeth were aimed at the blood vessels on his neck and stabbed hard.
"Damn it! Get out of here!"
No one likes an old man leaning on his neck and putting his mouth close to his, and Ron does the same.
His shoulder shook hard, and the terrifying force spread along the bones, with enough power to shatter steel.
However, Ryder's teeth were surprisingly stronger than steel. Not only did he remain motionless, he took the opportunity to throw out his umbrella and push back Ron's resisting waving arm.
"I'm going to turn you into a mummy!"
Ryder roared angrily, his teeth piercing the skin. The new instinct brought by the animal devil fruit allowed him to start swallowing blood without any effort.
Gulu... Gulu... Gulu...
The sound of swallowing continued, and Ron's skin began to dry up at a speed visible to the naked eye, but it was significantly slower than the speed Ryder used to suck blood.
Ron's blood was very special. Even though he was a vampire fruit user, he had to devote a lot of energy to concentrate on breaking down and digesting every mouthful of blood he swallowed.
Otherwise, if these extremely aggressive cells were allowed to survive in the abdomen, Ryder would not want to try it.
These long-established strong men will not make the stupid mistake of "those who are good at swimming drown".
Even though Ron's hands and feet are now restrained by him, he is always on guard and uses his knowledge and domineering attitude to spy on his thoughts.
If he made any movement to resist, Ryder could easily avoid it.
Fortunately, there is currently no such thing.
Ron only had one thought in his head.
Dying
"Death? Yes, you will die soon."
As we all know, if a person has no blood, he will die, which is the same as the HP of a game character returning to zero.
Ryder looked happy to have his revenge. Thinking about the humiliation he had suffered in the past few decades, he couldn't help but want to roar to the sky to vent his anger.
But fortunately, he still remembered the threat that Ron had brought to him. Even though Ron had shriveled up into a humanoid shape, and he was not sure whether he could kill him, he couldn't be careless.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Ryder's swallowing movement paused. He raised his head in astonishment and looked at Ron in disbelief.
"You... actually...!!!"
"Haha, have you sucked enough?"
In response, Ron opened his eyes weakly, his eyes full of a cunning smile that showed his plot had succeeded.
Looking at Ryder, who looked frightened and uneasy, he raised his pale palm and pointed at his head.
"Then read carefully, what am I thinking about now!"
Dying
… That’s right.
He is going to die soon!
