Chapter 1040 Treatment and Appraisal
The sword that Scarface Gallow used was extremely powerful, and its might far exceeded ordinary Third Grade magical equipment.
After witnessing his battle with Medium Dante, Greem even suspected that it was Fourth Grade magical equipment. Its magical effect was ‘Devour.’ All substances that came into contact with the sword–be they tangible or intangible–would vanish instantly.
If a living creature’s flesh was devoured in this manner, that portion of tissue would never be able to regrow through natural means. At the very least, it was the case during combat.
Such a magical effect countered body-refining adepts and bloodline adepts who were known for their high Physique to a large extent. When this magical sword slowly devoured their resilient bodies, they would be reduced to mere skeletons; it wouldn’t matter what powerful techniques they possessed. It would be of no use if their bodies were gone.
Dante was at a disadvantage against this sword. After having two of his high-grade spiritual beings consumed by the magical sword, he lost the ability to fight with Gallow directly. He had no choice but to desperately flee and change battlefields, using distance to neutralize Gallow’s wild and unstoppable offense.
Scarface Gallow’s weakness was fully exposed here.
He had thirty-nine points of Strength and thirty-nine points of Physique. These attributes gave him unimaginably violent power and a resilient body that was nearly indestructible. His every action unleashed a destructive tide of power. An ordinary Third Grade adept would not be able to fight him face-on.
Emelie held two incredibly sharp surgical knives in her hands, while the vines beneath her held onto a dozen other surgical tools of various functions. She was able to switch between the various tools and techniques without even lifting her head from her work.
If she discovered any piece of flesh that was completely dead, she would cut it off precisely, inflicting only the smallest of wounds on Greem’s body. She would then casually heal the wound with Rejuvenation or Lifebloom. The plant energy stimulated Greem’s own recovery, allowing the injuries to heal and close up rapidly.
Broken ribs needed to be fixed, and dead flesh needed to be cut off. Hidden foreign energy needed to be neutralized, concealed poison needed to be expelled, and damaged organs needed to be healed. All of these complex and trivial tasks would have taken Greem a dozen days to properly deal with, even with his Physique and the healing potions he possessed.
However, with a plant-attribute master like Emelia working with all her skill, Greem would be able to recover from all the previous fight’s side-effects in a short amount of time without even lifting a single finger.
It wasn’t until she had finished all her tasks that Emelia let out a long breath of air. She put all her tools back into her box using the vines and straightened her back, before asking out of curiosity, “Clan Leader, you still haven’t answered Lady Mary’s question. Why do you favor Scarface Gallow so much?”
“That’s because Scarface Gallow’s energy reserves are still above 89%, while Dante’s energy reserves have fallen to 73%.” Greem wasn’t bothered by all the flesh that had been cut off his body. He smiled as he explained, “I believe that Scarface Gallow is waiting for Dante’s energy reserves to fall below a certain threshold before finally dealing with him in one swift blow.”
Emelia was shocked.
Gallow had been chasing Dante for four entire days and nights. He had left his harrowing sword marks across the entire plains. How did he still have 89% of his energy reserves left? That…that was unbelievable!
Moreover, why did the clan leader know these numbers so clearly?
However, she quickly understood that the clan leader wouldn’t provide her with an explanation. After all, it involved the deeper secrets of a high-grade adept. He wouldn’t reveal the truth, even to his most intimate partners.
As expected, those who could participate in this tournament of powerhouses were all monsters.
Emelia shook her head and sighed in exasperation.
