The Last Gentleman

Chapter 118: Moonlight in the Darkness

[Disease Type]

Since the Disease Era began, countless illnesses have spread throughout the world.

After the establishment of the G&D Organization, it has been collecting information on various illnesses in the fight against pathologization, archiving them at the Hippocrates Hospital-Pathogen Center. The categories of illnesses increase every year, meaning that new and unusual illnesses could emerge at any time.

Gentlemen need and must categorize these illnesses to understand the type of infection in patients ahead of time, which can effectively improve the efficiency of disease removal.

The threat level of patients with different types of illnesses can vary greatly.

Some individuals infected with rare diseases can even unexpectedly kill a gentleman.

Such diseases are inherently superior to ordinary illnesses and, if they infect a creature along with ordinary diseases, can even suppress or eliminate other diseases, thus possessing uniqueness.

[Underground Ritual Area]

When Yi Chen thought of this answer, Little Grape also came to the same conclusion, especially since not long ago they had teamed up using “moonlight” to kill the indestructible Village Chief.

Indisputably, the [Moon Transformation Disease] accidentally created by the Twilight Clinic ranks at the forefront amongst disease categories, being an extremely rare and entirely new disease.

But there was a problem.

To switch to the weapon’s “Full Moon Form” required the use of both hands, yet Yi Chen’s left hand was missing.

『Little Grape, you understand what I mean, right?』

『I’ve already said it before, there’s no room for negotiation on this matter. Moreover, the help from the Twilight Clinic that time was just confined to the structure of the hand…You’ll need to think of another method.』

『Alright.』

Yi Chen did not press further, since Little Grape had already been a great help during the event, providing visual support was sufficient.

One hand was enough!

Hu~ He settled his momentum, lowering his body.

In rhythm, he, together with Jin, pressed toward the Holy Embryo life.

Along the way,

Yi Chen held the bottom end of the axe handle with his remaining right hand,

Using his [mouth] as a second hand, he bit onto the top end of the handle,

And jerked his head upward!

Click-click~ The handle slid, the metal friction causing sparks to fly.

With the assistance of his mouth, he successfully switched to “Full Moon Form”.

『The length of the handle has increased, it’s somewhat strenuous to swing with just one hand… Fortunately, my physique had increased when fighting the Village Chief, otherwise the effect of my swings would be greatly reduced.』

Yi Chen and Jin almost simultaneously approached the left and right sides of the Holy Embryo.

The two also exchanged glances for an instantaneous communication.

Hand Axe and Arm Blade, slashing the target at different angles.

However… Whoosh!

The wings of Holy Embryo Marcos fluttered in coordination with a light tip-toe step,

He performed a superfast backward flash, even leaving behind an afterimage at his original location, causing both attacks to miss entirely.

This kind of flash was very similar to the ‘Instantaneous Turn’ Jin had used through her ankle just earlier,

Not only that,

As Marcos completed the flash move, he swung his right arm in succession… the umbilical cord dragging the heavy Skull Ball, sweeping in front of both of them.

Jin, relying on her high maneuverability, jumped back to dodge,

Yi Chen, foreseeing the trajectory of the attack, dodged in advance, similarly avoiding the sweep.

“Jin… this guy has just come into the world, is rapidly adapting to the battle in front of him, and can even quickly learn the combat skills we use.

We can’t prolong this fight, otherwise, he will become increasingly stronger.”

This statement inadvertently stirred Jin’s emotions.

“Want to keep up with my speed, want to learn my physical skills? With your kind of defective product?”

In that instant,

Red lines surfaced across Jin’s body,

Crackle and pop~ one could even hear faint explosions emanating from inside Jin’s body several meters away,

She adjusted the effect of the ‘Body Explosion’ to 150% of the rated index, the so-called rated index being the level that wouldn’t harm her own physical body.

The current 150% would rapidly damage various areas of the body, not suitable for prolonged combat.

A step was taken, snap!

The ground was stamped into a deep pit full of gravel.

The speed that burst out in an instant was so fast that even Yi Chen could hardly see clearly.

During the run, Jin’s joints all over her body were slightly oozing blood, dragging a red afterimage behind her.

Neither could the Holy Embryo clearly see the speed of this pig-headed woman,

just as he was about to release “Pain Wail,” emitting a “Spiritual Shock” inherited from the mother to stop Jin from approaching.

Swish!

The blade had already plunged into the mouth and then stabbed out from the back of the head, forcibly interrupting.

Underneath the pig-head mask, a pair of bloodshot eyes stared dead at the Holy Embryo, speaking in an extremely disdainful tone, “Learn quickly! Can you learn it?”

With those words,

her wrist twisted, rotating the blade inside the Holy Embryo’s mouth for a full circle! Then she forcefully pulled downward… swish! Once again, she split the flesh and triggered an explosion.

Jin, also blown away by the blast, quickly landed and picked up the nearby pieces of flesh, chewing and swallowing them.

This was where Jin was strongest, as long as her opponent was a creature of blood and flesh, she could keep building her advantage like a rolling snowball.

“This meat isn’t as fresh as it was at the beginning, and the effects aren’t as good… Killing you another ten or twenty times should probably be enough to kill you, right?”

This time, Jin didn’t immediately advance,

the “Body Explosion” that exceeded the set limit caused damage to multiple organs and bones; she needed a slight reprieve.

On the other hand,

Yi Chen, although once again shocked by the terrifying strength displayed by Jin, also acted immediately.

Stepping on the ground flesh, he rushed towards the regeneration spot of the Holy Embryo.

“With my ‘Intelligence’ and special brain, I should be able to withstand this guy’s ‘wail’; I must not miss such an opportunity to attack.”

As Yi Chen approached,

the Holy Embryo had quickly reassembled its entire head and part of the upper body,

Wah!

The cry of Pain Wail was released from the mouth, and with prior preparation, Yi Chen widened his eyes, activating his brain!

Hiss hiss hiss~ steam burst from the top of his head, even though blood flowed from his seven orifices, Yi Chen’s eyes still retained a steadfast expression.

His pace only slightly slowed, but did not stop.

Black shoes stepped into the effective attack range,

Moon of Slaughter was already raised, aimed at the head of the Holy Embryo.

Swish!

The Holy Embryo actually spat out an umbilical cord from its mouth, quickly entangling Yi Chen’s right arm.

Soft yet forceful,

and this bizarre newborn umbilical cord on contact with the arm even tried to take control of it, quickly bonding with the flesh on the arm’s surface, joining at the nerves.

It halted the attack, also posing a great threat to Yi Chen.

A brief stalemate allowed the Holy Embryo to continue regenerating; its upper body was almost constructed, his arms about to form, about to pierce through Yi Chen’s body.

In a critical moment, a voice resonated in his consciousness.

“Let go!”

Hearing the voice, Yi Chen’s lips curled into a slight smile, seemingly deliberately falling into danger, waiting for this moment of transmission.

He decisively released his grip on the axe in his right hand.

As Moon of Slaughter slipped from his hand and was about to hit the ground,

Swish! A shadow flashed, catching the axe handle in mid-air!

Without giving the Holy Embryo a chance to react,

a silver brilliance fell!

The axe blade, overflowing with moonlight, had already chopped the Holy Embryo’s head and upper body,

and left in his body an indelible Moon Seal, spawning a large number of Moonlight Rats that gnawed at the flesh and hindered regeneration.

On the other hand, Yi Chen,

at this moment, his previously missing left arm regrew,

but this arm was not entirely his own, covered with black fur that writhed in the wind, and in between the arm, a mouth opened, exposing a bizarre eyeball.
