Chapter 585: Flesh Regeneration
Chapter 585: Flesh Regeneration
Listening to Agnes’ claims.
Ling Zhan’s expression remained unmoved; he couldn’t even be bothered to reply.
He simply walked slowly towards Agnes.
The long sword in his hand transformed back into the Thousand Mechanisms Ring.
And then, a rather ordinary Level 50 gold-quality staff appeared in his hand.
Yet it was this silent approach that suddenly made Agnes feel an inexplicable pressure!
Clearly, he shouldn’t be able to do anything to her!
She shouldn’t be afraid!
She had no reason to flinch!
Yes!
He definitely couldn’t do anything to her!
She had no reason to fear!
With that thought, she regained her confidence, raising her cursed staff while chanting a spell and retreating, planning to engage in a hit-and-run strategy!
She truly didn’t believe he could kill her!
However...
“Uh...”
In the next second, a beam of black light swiftly descended upon her!
The black light inflicted no physical damage, but it did interrupt her spell mid-chant!
Silence!
It was Silence!
Seven seconds of silence, along with a 20% attribute reduction!
Without her spells, as a curse warlock with naturally low agility, being silenced and weakened put her in an extremely awkward position.
She couldn’t cast any skills, nor could she move effectively.
She decided to just stand still, waiting quietly for him to approach.
The non-specialist, too, seemed to be repulsed by her, stopping ten meters away.
Just as the silence was about to end...
Whoosh!!
Another beam of black light descended upon her!!
The Silence spell was reapplied!
“Damn... infinite silence!?”
“Wait, if he could do this all along, why didn’t he use it earlier?”
“You don’t get it! Anyone who’s watched Ling Zhan’s live fights knows he enjoys the battle itself—he never shies away from any challenge!”
“So, basically, Ling Zhan was holding back in this fight, letting his opponent go all out?”
“What else? If he had silenced her at the start—a seven-second silence on a squishy warlock like Agnes—do you really think he couldn’t have handled her?”
“Damn! Respect! I was worried before, but now I see he was just giving his opponent a fighting chance!”
Many spectators, seeing Ling Zhan’s relentless use of Silence, couldn’t help but be impressed.
He could have ended it with a single Silence, but he chose not to.
“So... how’s he going to kill Agnes now?”
Everyone eagerly watched.
Agnes, seeing Ling Zhan stop, even showed a taunting smile.
“Come on! I want to see what you’ve got to kill me!”
She showed no signs of fear.
In response, Ling Zhan couldn’t even be bothered to speak.
Hum!!
He raised the staff and cast a ‘Basic Healing Spell’ on the silenced Agnes!
Green light descended on her, prompting her to burst into laughter!
“Haha! Do you think you can kill me with holy spells?”
“Let me tell you! It’s useless! When I was Level 50, I was captured by a Level 95 priest!”
“For half a year, that old man tried everything to kill me! In the end, he got infected by my Rotting Curse and died!”
“What do you think a mere healing spell can do to me?”
Agnes laughed triumphantly.
Ling Zhan looked at her body, continually oozing foul-smelling fluids, and pondered for a moment.
Then...
Hum!!
He raised the staff again, casting another healing-type spell on her!
“I told you, it’s useless...”
Agnes initially said this confidently.
But before she could finish her sentence.
She suddenly let out an agonizing scream!
She collapsed to the ground, writhing in pain, screaming continuously!
It seemed as if she was enduring unbearable torment!
Huh!?
In that instant.
All the spectators stood up in shock!
“What is this...”
“What the hell? It actually worked?”
“Holy crap! It actually worked! Didn’t she say she was immune to holy spells? Why is she screaming in pain now?”
Everyone widened their eyes.
Even the commanders of various armies and the evil organization’s Level 100 powerhouses furrowed their brows!
Regarding Agnes’ peculiarity.
Many present had heard of it.
A rotting body immune to all damage, impervious to any holy priest purification spells.
But how did this non-specialist manage it?
In the arena.
The moment Ling Zhan saw her writhing in pain, he knew his hypothesis was correct.
The spell he used wasn’t a simple healing spell.
It was an uncommon basic skill not often used by high-level priests—‘Flesh Regeneration.’
This spell was frequently used in ordinary hospitals.
Hospital priests were required to know this basic spell.
Whether in city hospitals...
Or small rural clinics, every priest had to know this spell.
Its purpose was to regenerate flesh and heal physical injuries.
High-level priests rarely used this spell in battle because it didn’t restore HP, only regenerated tissue.
And since it was a basic skill, the regeneration was too slow to be useful on the battlefield.
However, Ling Zhan’s Flesh Regeneration was at A+ level.
The speed of regenerating rotten flesh was exceptionally fast.
Honestly...
If he could get over the mental discomfort, Ling Zhan could regenerate even a piece of rotten pork or chicken.
Another reason why most battlefield priests avoided ‘flesh regeneration-type skills’ was...
If they could just restore a teammate’s HP, any injury would automatically heal.
Why waste skill points on flesh regeneration when you could fully heal with one spell?
It was straightforward—full HP meant full recovery.
But Agnes was a unique case; her health was always infinitesimally close to zero.
Healing skills couldn’t restore her HP.
So she never realized that flesh regeneration was her kryptonite.
The Rotting Curse vehemently resisted Flesh Regeneration.
Flesh Regeneration would make her experience the agony of rotting all over again.
Hmm...
The mechanics of this Rotting Curse were really something else.
Watching her writhing on the ground in pain.
Ling Zhan didn’t hesitate...
Hum!
Hum!
Hum!
Several more Flesh Regeneration spells landed on her, their magical energy swirling.
“Aaaah!!”
The heart-wrenching screams echoed across the entire arena!
At that moment, all spectators realized...
The fight was over.
Agnes’ death was now just a matter of time.
