Chapter 875: Yecheng's Ultimate Survival Skill!
Chapter 875: Yecheng's Ultimate Survival Skill!
As Gilgamesh surveyed the hundred-mile radius that had been reduced to ruins, especially the several-kilometer-wide crater at the center of the explosion, now filled with molten lava from the extreme heat, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, gazing up at the sky, "No matter how strong you are, the last one standing is still this king!
It's a pity about the Estray Sword Ea, but getting rid of an annoying fellow like you is more than worth it."
The area where the Estray Sword Ea exploded was devoid of any trace of Yecheng's body.
However, Gilgamesh wasn't the least bit concerned about this. Under such an energy explosion, not only would mortal flesh and blood be instantly vaporized, but even steel would be reduced to nothing in an instant. It was only natural that Yecheng's body was completely obliterated.
Just as Gilgamesh was relishing in his victory, feeling that Yecheng was surely dead, a long sword suddenly pierced through his back without any warning!
Seeing the blood-stained tip of the sword in his field of vision, Gilgamesh's laughter abruptly came to a halt.
The scene before him felt eerily familiar. During the final battle of the Fourth Holy Grail War, he had been defeated by Yecheng in a similar manner. Could it be that this time...
Gilgamesh, his body impaled, struggled to turn his head, and soon enough, he saw that face again, the very image of his nightmare.
"This is impossible! Even if you're a monster, you shouldn't have survived that energy storm. How... how is this possible...?"
Despite speaking and coughing up blood simultaneously, Gilgamesh was more concerned about how Yecheng had managed to survive than his own dwindling life force.
The Yecheng who appeared behind Gilgamesh was in a pitiful state.
His clothes were tattered, like a beggar, and most of his skin was charred. His entire left arm, including the shoulder, was missing, making him look not only pathetic but also quite horrifying.
In fact, right after the Estray Sword Ea's self-destruction, Yecheng's condition was even worse. His current state was already a result of his healing and regenerative abilities having taken effect to some extent.
"How did you survive? No, I should say I truly died once. If it weren't for my extremely powerful survival skill, I might have been killed in that explosion too.
I was too arrogant before, thinking that this world's power level couldn't threaten me, so I performed all sorts of reckless actions. This time, I've learned a hard lesson, and for that, I thank you."
"As a token of my gratitude, I'll tell you how I survived that storm.
Aside from my healing and regenerative abilities, I possess an ultimate survival skill called 'Advanced Double Mirage'. You can think of it as a substitute death skill.
When I use this skill, my physical strength and endurance double compared to my normal state!
To put it simply, the self-destruction of the Estray Sword Ea completely shattered my double mirage and even inflicted these severe injuries on me. This proves that the original explosion was powerful enough to kill me, but my double mirage took the brunt of it.
It was truly a close call. If the self-destruction of the Estray Sword Ea had been slightly more powerful, even with my double mirage, I might not have been able to withstand it."
After providing Gilgamesh with the final answer, Yecheng ended his life with a swift slash of his sword.
After the previous incident, he also realized the importance of finishing off his opponents. This time, he first pierced through Gilgamesh's heart and then beheaded him, watching his figure gradually dissipate before finally leaving.
"Advanced Double Mirage" is Ye Cheng's ultimate survival skill in the Bone King World, belonging to the Double Mirage race.
Upon using this skill, not only can one perform double incantations, but HP and MP can also temporarily double within a short period.
As it is a Double Mirage skill, when receiving fatal damage, the main body can prioritize letting the mirage take the damage.
Although this skill is not a super-position magic, it is still a skill that can only be learned when Advanced Double Mirage reaches its maximum level. Moreover, each use has an extremely long cooldown period.
Previously, he thought that the first person to use this ability would either be Ye Cheng from the Dragon Ball World or the Ye Cheng who fought against Aizen in the Bleach World. Yet, it turned out to be himself who used it first...
The power of the Ex Noble Phantasm self-destruction was too astonishing, and to ensure absolute success, Gilgamesh had also used the unavoidable "Gae Bolg" to shatter his combat capabilities beforehand.
By the time the Estray Sword Ea self-destructed, he didn't even have a chance to run, let alone consider it.
However, in the end, the reason the situation escalated to this point was ultimately due to Ye Cheng's own recklessness.
Under the fivefold Kingdom Punch, even though Gilgamesh had undergone some training, Ye Cheng could still defeat him effortlessly. But his excessive recklessness gave his opponent too many opportunities, almost leading to his own downfall.
"Damn, am I really playing the villain in this world? Medea and Sakura's dark transformations are one thing, but how could I make such a rookie mistake?
Not knowing how to finish off opponents and dying from talking too much, aren't these typical villain traits?"
After glancing at the surroundings, which had been completely transformed due to the battle, Ye Cheng briefly reflected on his actions. Then, once his body had regenerated to a certain extent, he hurried back to the Einzbern residence, which had also become a mess.
When Sakura saw Ye Cheng's safe return, she immediately rushed over and tightly hugged him.
As Ye Cheng and Gilgamesh left, Sakura had wanted to follow them, fearing that Ye Cheng would disappear like he did ten years ago.
However, the shockwaves from their battle were so intense that Medusa and the others had to stop Sakura from going after them until Ye Cheng returned.
"The matter is resolved, and that troublesome Hero King has truly left. How's the situation on your side?" Ye Cheng asked.
Hearing Ye Cheng's question, Medea sighed heavily and replied, "That Heroic Spirit is incredibly troublesome. Not only are her various ability parameters excellent, but her Noble Phantasms and unique skills are also exceptionally powerful, making her virtually flawless.
Rider and I have already displayed most of our strength, but even in a two-against-one situation, we still couldn't stop her. She escaped with her Master."
Medea and Medusa are also first-rate Heroic Spirits when their mana is sufficiently replenished. However, the special class Avenger Jeanne d'Arc, backed by 'This World's Evil', is evidently stronger.
"Well, after all, she's the renowned Joan of Arc, who is already strong on her own, not to mention being enhanced by 'This World's Evil' in her blackened form.
But it's also good that we couldn't defeat her. If the Avenger Jeanne were to return to the Holy Grail, the loli over there might also be influenced and undergo dark transformation."
