In the center of the City ruins.
Lilith stepped barefoot onto the shattered asphalt and concrete blocks, her pace light as if she were walking in her own backyard garden.
The aura on her body was no longer deliberately restrained; instead, it was as if so invisible shackles had been undone, and it began to climb steadily!
The air around her distorted slightly, and small pebbles moved on their own without any wind.
She didn't imdiately go looking for Forti in the dust; instead, she slowly raised a small hand.
From her fingertips, a strand of dark red thread, sowhere between liquid and energy, quietly seeped out.
Then, a second strand, a third... thousands of blood-colored threads quietly erged from all over her body like living tentacles, or like the most precise loom threads, rapidly flying into the high sky!
They intertwined, shuttled, and wove at an altitude of hundreds of ters above the ground, expanding and spreading at an incredible Speed, forming a massive, thin, nearly transparent dark red canopy.
The sh of the canopy was large, with obvious gaps in the middle, allowing sunlight to even filter through the grid in mottled patches of light and shadow.
Its coverage was extrely vast, with a radius reaching a staggering fifteen kiloters, enveloping the entire ruin battlefield and a large surrounding area.
The mont the canopy finished weaving, its edges flickered slightly, then quickly faded and beca transparent, finally vanishing completely as if rging into the void itself, no longer detectable by the naked eye.
[Blood Domain Heavenly Net]
This was a new domain skill Lilith had developed by combining the characteristics of her own Blood Domain.
It didn't directly provide attack or defense, but instead ford an invisible sensory cage with a radius of fifteen kiloters.
Any living organism, energy fluctuation, or even signs of spatial or spiritual teleportation appearing within this range could not escape Lilith's perception.
Unless an opponent's teleportation distance could exceed fifteen kiloters in one go, they would be like a flying insect caught in a spiderweb, unable to escape Lilith's palm.
And this skill was originally prepared for that Hive Lord Hunter.
However, facing Forti, a Hunter who also possessed an SSS-Level Talent, Lilith directly deployed it in advance to prevent him from escaping.
Just as the [Blood Domain Heavenly Net] was laid out, a pile of huge concrete fragnts a hundred ters ahead exploded!
In the dust, an even more massive figure with an even more ferocious aura slowly stood up.
Forti! Or rather, Forti, who had completed a further Mutation.
His werewolf-form body was not only unscathed but had instead expanded even more exaggeratedly!
His dark red fur now glinted with a tallic luster, and at his elbows, shoulder blades, and knees, sinister curved dark red bone spikes half a ter long had grown out, like natural weapons of slaughter.
His wolf claws had beco longer and more curved, their tips flashing with a heart-palpitating cold light; just a glance made it feel as if one's skin had already been sliced open.
Most astonishingly, his original height of about five ters had actually surged again, reaching a terrifying ten ters!
Standing there, he was like a moving dark red mountain, the shadow he cast enveloping a large area of the ruins.
And the aura on his body was more than several tis stronger than before!
A pressure mixed with werewolf tyranny swept out like a tsunami!
Forti pulled back his wolfish maw filled with sharp teeth, his low laughter rolling like muffled thunder.
He looked down at Lilith, who appeared increasingly tiny like an exquisite toy compared to his silhouette, his vertical pupils of red and gold filled with a faint indifference.
"Stole and copied my highest attribute?"
Lilith finally spoke, her voice still crisp and childish, as if stating an irrelevant fact.
She tilted her head slightly, a flash of interest in her ruby vertical pupils, as if looking at an interesting variant of an experintal subject.
From beneath her skirt, a slender tail covered in fine white Bone Armor quietly poked out.
The tail was over three ters long, and its end was not a spike but a bone blade shaped like a crescent moon with sharp edges, reflecting a cold luster in the sunlight.
"No, it's not expansion."
Forti's voice, resonated through his werewolf throat, beca raspy and majestic; he seed to see through Lilith's disdain, his eyes carrying a sense of looking down from above.
"It's just recognizing a fact: in the face of absolute constitution and a werewolf's powerful recovery, power and Speed can sotis seem pale."
He moved his arms covered in new bone spikes, producing an ear-grating grinding sound.
"You let have over two hundred points of constitution, and Fenrir's [Bloodline - Werewolf] has pushed my current constitution past three hundred points. Combined with Marcus's Steel Bones, how will you break my defense now? How will you kill ?"
Lilith did not answer his question.
She just quietly watched Forti complete his transformation, feeling that Bloodline aura from him that shared the sa source as her own.
Deep within her ruby-like vertical pupils, a slight trace of surprise appeared.
Then, Lilith smiled softly, the corners of her mouth curling into an extrely faint arc that made Forti feel inexplicably uneasy.
"The current you,"
Lilith's voice carried a aningful rhythm.
"Really needs a battle to integrate and adapt to the [Bloodline - Werewolf] talent."
The smile on Forti's wolfish maw froze slightly.
He didn't understand the deep aning behind those words, but he instinctively felt sothing was wrong.
However, before he could figure it out, Lilith had already moved.
There was no world-shaking sonic boom or grand display like before, but the surrounding air seed to freeze for an instant.
In the next mont, Lilith's figure seed to rge into the wind, suddenly vanishing from her spot!
No afterimages, no sound; when she reappeared, her body was already right in front of the ten-ter-tall werewolf giant's nose!
Her petite fra ford a striking contrast with the massive Werewolf Tyrant.
She used no weapons, except for that slender Bone Whip that had quietly poked out from under her skirt, tipped with a crescent bone blade.
Her body spun lightly, as elegant as a dancer, driving the Bone Whip to trace a perfect arc!
The whip vibrated at high Speed in the air, tearing out a piercing sonic boom shriek!
"Screech—!!!"
The crescent blade at the end of the Bone Whip accurately lashed across Forti's left forearm, which he had instinctively crossed to parry!
The seemingly slender whip contained a terrifying force capable of splitting mountains and cracking stones!
The layer of dark red Bone Armor with a tallic luster on Forti's arm was instantly sliced open with a massive gash!
Dark red blood mixed with fine bone shards splattered out!
But what truly made Forti's expression change was the overbearing impact force that followed the cut!
"Boom—!!!"
His massive ten-ter body was actually lashed off its feet by this single whip strike, flying backward uncontrollably like it had been hit head-on by a train!
He smashed through three remaining load-bearing walls along the way, plowing a deep hundred-ter-long trench into the street, and finally beca heavily embedded in the middle of a six-story building's ruins, dust billowing into the sky!
Lilith slowly retracted the Bone Whip, a single drop of dark red blood slowly dripping from the bone blade at the tip.
Her ruby-like vertical pupils were calm and rippleless, as if she had just brushed away a fallen leaf...
