After completing the fat loss, Marquis Gratoni did not launch an attack at the first moment, but re-examined the young man in front of him.
After continuous dodging and multiple star transfers, William showed no signs of breathing at all, and could not even feel any energy dissipation.
It seems that everything before was just a disguise.
"In addition to leading me to reveal my weakness and attacking me... you also deliberately dodged and retreated to lead me from the black bridge to the edge of the city. Was it to make it easier for your teammates to infiltrate the Central Manor?"
William quickly shook his head in denial, “No, no, no~ Our manpower is limited. Even if I can lure you away, they are not enough to infiltrate the Central Manor... Unless we rescue Teacher Zed or kill you.
I led you to the city wall only for the purpose of 'fighting alone'.
If Jin stays with me, her performance will be affected a little, and the aftermath of our fight will have an impact on her external body, after all, she is fighting inside her own body. "
The Marquis actually liked the young man in front of him for a moment.
"Very good~ I am very optimistic about you.
Therefore, I will temporarily put aside my concerns about other areas, people, or the entire colony, and focus on you alone until I completely defeat you."
Marquis Gratoni adjusted the tightness of his overalls, then rolled up the cuffs of his shirt to reveal his "forearm structure".
After losing weight, the forearms have perfect muscle lines, contours and are covered with a thick layer of sweat.
The strong body is only the external characteristic of Marquis Gratoni, which is the outer shell polished by his long-term eating.
His real power and characteristic of the disease lies in his name, Gratoni, which means 'gluttony'.
"Seams" of varying lengths appear between the forearms.
The gap squirms and gradually expands, forming a mouth structure.
No lips,
Neatly arranged pure white teeth,
A tongue between gray and red,
When you open your mouth, you can clearly see the oral mucosa, tonsils, uvula, larynx and other oral structures.
If you look along these mouths and deep into the throat, you seem to reach a special space inside the body.
As William watched the mouth gradually form on the surface of the Marquis' arm, he immediately felt a sense of danger brought by an ancient disease. The corresponding disease gene was also very old and might even have been lost due to the war.
“There are 10 and 12 mouths on the left and right arms respectively. The number should not be the point. The real point is the function of these mouths.
When the teeth of the mouths bite, the surrounding space vibrates slightly. It is basically certain that these mouths can swallow across space.
I have to estimate the distance of the devouring, otherwise I will lose a piece of flesh if I am not careful. 』
Thinking of this,
William directly took out his other weapon.
Combining human technology and style, the "Gun. Bartosh" was created with disease cores and materials from the old world. The factory inside the gun had already prepared a large number of ordinary bullets.
The moment William held the gun in his hand, he quickly pulled the trigger.
More than ten spiral bullets were fired at the Marquis.
Without the assistance of the grape, the bullet cannot load the eye and change its trajectory.
However, William did not need a tricky shooting angle at the moment. He shot only to verify one thing.
All the bullets were aimed at the Marquis' arms.
William also widened his eyes, staring intently at what was going to happen next.
Just as the bullet is about to hit... Buzz!
As if being wiped out, all the bullets disappeared.
William immediately estimated the "effective distance" of the swallowing based on the disappearance of the bullets. Marquis Gratoni also realized the intention of the shooting and immediately set off without giving William any time to think.
The size 70 leather shoes stepped forward again,
After completing the weight loss, his speed was almost three times faster than before, but William, as a "gestalt", was able to keep up, and the super-fast calculations of the epileptic brain were completed.
"The swallowing distance is about 2 to 3 meters, so I have to take this into account when dodging."
As his ankle twisted, streams of starlight flowed through nearby blood vessels.
The perfect combination of the flesh and the patient, the footwork created by William himself - "Star Moment".
Every time your toes touch the ground, a star point will be left behind, and the transfer efficiency and speed will be qualitatively improved.
Buzz!
Two shadows that were invisible to the naked eye moved quickly along the street near the city wall.
All the buildings along the way were destroyed, and obvious gnawing marks could be seen on the wreckage.
However, the pursuit did not last long before Gratoni stopped on his own initiative.
After the next "Star Instant" transfer, William also landed on the eaves of a house fifty meters away, observing the Marquis who was no longer chasing him.
Gratoni showed fatigue on his face, as if he was tired of this cat-and-mouse game. "You don't seem to be planning to fight me head-on?"
William responded with a smile, "How can I fight? If I get a little closer, I will be swallowed up. I don't intend to die head-on."
"This is just the most basic devouring effect. As the chief of the circus, you should have the means to deal with it, right? I admit that you are very mobile, but it is really boring to keep escaping like this.
Show your true abilities, William."
William slowly squatted on the eaves, and quickly turned the hatchet in his right hand, "Real skills? Didn't you take it out? As a blood man, your real blood disease has not yet been activated. You are just using the gluttony characteristic that you are good at.
If I show my true abilities ahead of time, won't I be one step behind you? If you want to chase me, keep trying to catch up with me. If you don't want to chase me, just leave. I will do things around the city by myself."
Phew~
Marquis Gratoni took a deep breath and shook his head.
His character is considered the best among the seven marquises, which is why he was arranged to be in charge of the work of the human colony, recruiting more humans to expand the number of blood people while building peace.
At this moment,
Facing William's repeated taunts, the death slash that almost hurt his origin, and the long-term ineffective pursuit, Gratoni's state of mind has changed.
He no longer thought about "capturing" this promising young man alive and transforming him like Zed did.
No longer holding back, the first goal is to "kill the enemy".
A special mouth opened at this moment.
It is not the mouth on the arm, but the "mouth" that Gratoni was born with.
This was also the first time he used his main mouth.
It aimed at William who was fifty meters away and made a 'biting and eating' motion... Ka! Something hard was being eaten!
It didn't swallow William directly.
Instead, it ate up the space between him and William, and a large amount of blood even burst out of the eaten space.
Buzz!
Because of space erasure,
William, who was originally sitting on the eaves, was instantly pulled in front of the Marquis. He had no time to react or make any moves... A huge slap came from above, like a mountain pressing down on his head, directly pressing William to the ground.
Bang!
The facial bones were broken, the brain was crushed,
The neck and sternum were crushed.
The upper part of William's chest was almost flattened into a flesh-like shape, and he was deader than dead.
However, when Marquis Gratoni wanted to devour William, his mouth instinctively rejected the command to "eat".
It seemed that the flesh being crushed into broken bones and mud in front of me would bring irreversible harm to the body.
"Huh? Is there anything I can't eat?"
As soon as the words fell,
William's crushed flesh began to liquefy and bubble, turning into a pool of dark blood, and even corroded the ground, eventually forming a shallow well.
Bang!
An arm crawled out from the well, with five fingers tightly clasped on the ground.
The scattered black hair fell on his shoulders, and the whole body crawled out... The breath changed completely, as if there was a pair of eyes on his back looking at the Marquis.
