Overgeared

The baihui acupuncture point was located at the top of one’s head. Even the slightest shock to this point could kill someone instantly.

However...

[You!]

Surprising, the golden immortal woman was still alive. She nervously pulled out the magic spear that had pierced the top of her head all the way to her neck before looking around.

She directed her anger solely at Chiyou. She didn’t recognize Grid’s clone, which she desired greatly, as an opponent. She thought that as long as she defeated Chiyou, she would get her hands on the incarnation no matter what.

Grid’s clone had consumed a lot of resources after defeating both Du Baeryong and his incarnation before forcibly teleporting the golden immortal away. The situation would have been different had the clone inherited all of Grid’s titles, but he hadn’t, so he was completely out of mana.

Of course, in theory, the clone had infinite magic power. The mana core made through the body manufacturing method, the stats that resembled Grid’s, and the titles obtained through training with Braham... The clone’s mana could gush up endlessly. Yes, this was the concept of mana surge. His mana pool wasn’t infinite. He just needed time to restore it.

[You’re pretty tough.]

Chiyou looked a bit embarrassed. He had no intention of killing the golden immortal with his own hands because he didn’t want to become stronger than he already was. Therefore, he entrusted Grid’s clone to finish her off. However, that didn’t happen. After all, a clone was just a clone...

The clone met Chiyou’s disappointed gaze and sent him a sound transmission.

-I request that you buy me thirty minutes.

[The lack of honorifics... You’re just as shameless as Grid, but your attitude is slightly different.]

-I can’t say that I’m shameless.Since I am asking for your cooperation so that things will turn out the way you want them to, doesn’t that make me considerate?

[Do I even have to say that you’re just like Grid? You are bold. Okay, I’ll accept your request.]

Chiyou wasn’t the type to enjoy meaningless arguments. If he really enjoyed anything, then he wouldn’t want to die all the time.

He gave the clone a quick nod and turned to look at the golden immortal. The woman swallowed a black pill, sprinkled white powder on the wound on her head and sutured it with her mystical characters. This was a quick and effective emergency measure that was reminiscent of the Saintess’ heals.

[It looks like you’ve been injured this way more than once or twice before.]

[I’ve risked my life many times.]

The woman held hundreds of thousands of mystical characters in her hands. Chiyou moved reflexively the moment they took the form of a great bow.

After throwing his sword, he approached the woman and thrust his hand under her armpits.

[Ack...!]

The woman narrowly escaped his grasp before Chiyou caught her again. She hurriedly shot an arrow. Even though she didn’t gather enough strength in that specific arrow, it was still very powerful, since it contained her immense aura. The arrow barely brushed Chiyou’s shoulder, and that was enough to inflict a slight wound.

[Um...]

Chiyou restored his numb arm by turning it a few times. He was overcome with a strong desire to fight properly and show off his strength. This was the true desire of the martial god.

However, Chiyou knew what achieving that desire would result in—nothingness. No matter how strong his enemy was, they would all fall at his feet. He would once again become stronger and have to endure eons of solitude. This had happened to him many times before. He was aware of this. Therefore, he had to control himself until he met someone who could definitely kill him.
