Chapter 1531: Molecular death
"Perhaps that is exactly what he wants."
As Lonos checked the battlefield, a bit of worry gnawed at the edges of his mind. The absence of the overseer and the dragon god weighed on his mind, casting a shadow of uncertainty over their battle. Lonos knew that facing either of them in his current state would be a formidable challenge, one that he needed to be prepared to confront.
Yet, at the same time, Lonos hesitated to unleash the full extent of his power against Rain. Doing so risked revealing too much too soon, potentially tipping his hand and allowing Rain or the other two to formulate a counter-strategy. It was a delicate balance, one that required careful consideration and strategic Foresight.
As Lonos pondered his next move, he couldn’t shake the apprehension that lingered in the back of his mind. The stakes were high, and the outcome of their battle would have far-reaching consequences for both sides. It was imperative that he tread carefully unless he inadvertently tipped the scales in Rain’s favor.
While Lonos was thinking along those lines, Rain stopped attacking since he ran out of stamina. His body felt as heavy as a huge block of steel... However, he soon solved that problem by summoning some doppelgangers and teleporting them away to the red star. Once again, Rain felt full of energy when they absorbed some of the energy of the star and transformed it into stamina.
"I suppose you have too many cards in your hands, and you can keep thinking of numerous ways to buy time until you have a chance to face me. This reached a point that I can no longer deny that I can’t even let you lift a single finger without taking some future risks, so I shall take that ability from you."
Lobos snapped his fingers, and then time on that planet stopped. Rain’s mind and body stopped functioning altogether, and then Lonos approached him. Lobos’ index finger approached Rain and then passed through his body until it touched one artery after the other. Once that was done, Lobos made Rain’s body move back again.
Rain’s body suddenly convulsed with agony. Every movement sent searing waves of pain coursing through his veins, a relentless onslaught that threatened to overwhelm him. With each shaking, the pain intensified, gnawing at his senses and sapping his strength.
The damage to his arteries had taken its toll, blocking the flow of blood to vital organs and tissues. As a result, his body screamed in protest, deprived of the oxygen and nutrients it so desperately needed to function.
Despite his best efforts, Rain struggled to maintain his footing, his movements growing increasingly sluggish and unsteady. Every breath felt like fire in his lungs, every heartbeat a painful reminder of his body’s frailty.
