Dimensional Codex System: I'm really not a cultist!

Chapter 598: Chapter 597 A Terrifying Enemy

```

”Swoosh!”

Accompanied by the priest’s bellow, several long knives flew out of his hands towards Fang Zheng. However, such attacks were futile against Fang Zheng. Facing the incoming knives, Fang Zheng snorted coldly and then swiftly swung his greatsword with his right hand, conjuring layers upon layers of phantasmal images that burst forth in an instant. The long knives, now hurtling towards him, shattered into pieces, turning into a pile of scrap metal.

But as the sword shadows disappeared, the tall figure had already appeared before Fang Zheng’s eyes. The spectacled priest raised his double-handed long knife high, stabbing towards Fang Zheng’s heart and throat simultaneously, one to the left and one to the right!

Clearly, the priest was also an experienced assassin. He had successfully seized Fang Zheng’s momentary weakness and closed the distance between them, while Fang Zheng’s greatsword had already been swung and could not be retracted in time. Moreover, Fang Zheng’s swordsmanship was primarily based on slashing, whereas the priest was using a thrusting technique, targeting Fang Zheng’s vital points. It could be said that if Fang Zheng had not been prepared, he would have lost his life to the priest’s blade in the next second.

However, in this world, there are no ”ifs.”

”Clang!”

Just as the priest’s long knives were thrusting, Fang Zheng’s left hand transformed the silver short sword into a wolf’s sharp claw, which he swung down fiercely. Soon, accompanied by the swish of the silver sword light, the priest’s long knives were once again sliced into fragments. Not only that, Fang Zheng took the opportunity to charge forward, ramming his shoulder heavily into the priest’s chest. NovelFire.Côm-cσ๓

”Boom!”

After reigniting the Primordial Soul Fire in the Anan World, Fang Zheng’s body, although not fully recovered, had improved a lot compared to before. If Fang Zheng’s physical strength had been about the same as an ordinary person when he was initially in Anan World, now some of the powers belonging to both the Dragon Race and the Zerg had returned to his body.

The impact Fang Zheng delivered to the priest was no different than being rammed head-on by a Thunder Beast. A crisp sound of bones fracturing echoed as his chest caved in rapidly, and then the priest was sent flying backward, traveling all the way to the end of the corridor and crashing heavily against the wall.

”..........”

Watching this scene unfold, Seras was dumbfounded. She had long known that Fang Zheng possessed tremendous strength—after all, he was the one who dared to openly challenge her master. But Seras had not anticipated Fang Zheng’s strength to be so formidable. Just now, her master Alucard had fought several exchanges with the priest, and if it were not for the loss of his weapon, they might not have settled the outcome so swiftly.

But Fang Zheng’s performance surprised Seras even more. In the blink of an eye, he had defeated the terrifying and powerful priest and sent him flying!

”This guy could take down Alucard?”

Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes and glanced towards the now-empty end of the corridor. Then he turned his gaze back to the severed head in Seras’s arms.

”Get up; stop playing dead, or I’ll burn your head as well.”

”Eh?”

Upon hearing Fang Zheng speak, Seras was momentarily taken aback.

”This... Mr. Fang Zheng, MASTR he...”

”He’s still alive. This guy isn’t that easy to kill. I’ve seen him come back to life after having his entire body chopped up and ground into mincemeat before. You think he’d pretend to be dead from just a severed head now? Who are you trying to fool?”

As if hearing Fang Zheng’s words, the severed head in Seras’s arms suddenly started to melt like jelly exposed to high heat. It then spilled onto the ground and congealed into a blood snake, slithering away into the distance. Watching this unfold, Seras stood petrified, completely at a loss for words.

Is bullying a little girl this amusing?

Looking at Seras in front of him, Fang Zheng shook his head helplessly. This poor girl, ever since she was transformed into a vampire, had been unlucky, constantly being pushed around by Alucard, and often had to face dangerous and troublesome enemies. As for why, Fang Zheng could guess some of the reasons. According to the rules, a Blood Descendant needed to drink fresh blood to gain strength, as proof of growth.

Simply put, it’s like the young of wild beasts, who have to prove they can fend for themselves by hunting for the first time. A Blood Descendant who has consumed fresh blood is considered a qualified member of their lineage.

But even up to now, this lady officer seems to have a certain reluctance to drink blood.

Perhaps because of this, Alucard has indeed gone to great lengths to get Seras to drink his blood... Well, whether this could be considered a stubborn father forcing his daughter to grow up, Fang Zheng simply couldn’t be bothered to care.

After all, it was someone else’s family affair, and it wasn’t his place to worry about it.

”Clang...”

However, just when Fang Zheng was about to say something more, suddenly, accompanied by a faint noise, he saw the previously incapacitated towering figure once again slowly emerging from the pitch black shadows of the hallway.

In his hand, he clenched a greatsword he had pulled from God knows where, his cold gaze fixed on Fang Zheng. Fang Zheng also noticed that the previously basin-sized concave wound on the opponent’s chest had vanished, leaving behind only some torn marks, showing no other abnormalities.

”So you’re not human either.”

Fang Zheng gripped his greatsword tighter, staring at the priest before him. He was very clear on how powerful his previous collision was: the priest wasn’t wearing any sort of external power armor, nor had he released any kind of holy shields, protection magic, or similar energy barriers. He had taken Fang Zheng’s hit completely with his body, and as a result, his rib cage was shattered. If lucky, he may have been able to call an ambulance; if unlucky, a fragment could have punctured his heart, killing him on the spot.

But now the priest was hopping around, looking like he wanted to start the second round... Is this not some fighting game I’ve time traveled to, with a best two out of three after a KO? If that’s the case, why don’t you just put me in King of Fighters?

Speaking of which, I wonder if I could cosplay as the Orochi Child with my Primordial Fire?

While these bizarre thoughts whirled through Fang Zheng’s mind, he gripped his greatsword once more and looked towards the priest. Although he didn’t know whether the other party had a powerful regeneration ability or for some other reason, since he hadn’t died and instead reappeared hopping around, it meant this person was more dangerous than he seemed.

After all, what’s given must be returned; since the other party had made a move, it was only right for him to reciprocate!

”Huff!!”

With that thought, Fang Zheng lowered his body, positioning the greatsword at his side, his gaze locked on the priest. Then he suddenly leaped forward, his greatsword dragging a trail of sparks on the ground as he thrust it towards the priest!

”Haaahhhh!!!”

In response to Fang Zheng’s attack, the priest also let out a roar, flinging his arms forward, and immediately, dozens of daggers flew out, shooting towards Fang Zheng. However, this time, these flying daggers could not pose the slightest threat to Fang Zheng. A flash of firelight passed through the cloud of daggers, and in the next moment, the daggers instantly shattered, while Fang Zheng’s greatsword also thrust forward!

”Useless!!”

At this moment, the priest had no way to avoid, Fang Zheng’s speed had exceeded the limits that humans could predict, and even Seras, as a vampire, couldn’t see his movements clearly, let alone the priest. Nevertheless, sensing the imminent danger as the sword blade approached, the priest let out a furious roar, crossing his arms in front of his chest and pushing forward!

The next moment, Fang Zheng’s greatsword pierced through the priest’s palms, which had been placed in front. Despite his own palms being impaled, the priest didn’t seem to feel any pain, and he actually grabbed the pitch-black blade with his hands!

Man, is this guy for real?

Fang Zheng was startled by the priest’s almost self-destructive action, causing him to slow down involuntarily. In that moment, the priest roared again, holding on to Fang Zheng’s greatsword, finally preventing it from piercing his heart.

But to Fang Zheng, this was not a problem at all.

Watching the priest hold onto his greatsword, he just raised his eyebrows slightly, and then in the next moment, a blaze of brilliant red light erupted, and flames burst forth, completely engulfing the priest’s right hand!
