The War God Spirit looked at the person who suddenly appeared and blocked his attack. 'Red skin?' was the first thing he noticed about the newcomer, followed by how odd the person's life energy was. It was as vibrant as some of the best body refiners, but this evil and twisted sensation was on top.
"Brother," said the Puppet Demon. "I'm glad you're here."
"I couldn't possibly let you die in vain, could I?"
"The Flesh Demon," Dulgun said. "There were rumors you two were related; it seems that it's true."
"You've crossed the line," said the Flesh Demon, his black clothes perfectly fitting his well-toned muscles. He was a handsome middle-aged man despite his odd red skin, but there was this evil aura around him that instantly made people weary of him.
"Crossed the line? Said the man who enjoys taking other's body parts to strengthen his flesh," Dulgun sneered. "Didn't you once boldly proclaim you would turn my husband into one of your flesh collections? Well, this is your opportunity."
The Flesh Demon quietly stared at her. "The Master never truly trusted you or the Ruthless King, believing that your background meant that you were not one of us. Your actions have proven him correct."
"No need to use him to scare us. Since we made this move, it means we're ready to confront him."
The Flesh Demon frowned, wondering where the Barbarian King's confidence originated from. Even if he gained some success in his cultivation, it was not wise to attack the other factions and antagonize the entire Lawless Zone.
"Remember — you're the one who chose this path," the Flesh Demon declared before looking at his sworn brother. "Can you still fight?"
"I can, but with only one arm, my strength will drastically reduce."
The Flesh Demon pondered briefly, and in the next moment, he pushed out his Humerus bone and handed it over. "Will that work?"
"Of course." The Puppet Demon put the bone in his left socket, and instantly, it turned into a new puppet arm. He moved it around, nodding in satisfaction.
"I'll support you from the back so you can go on the offensive." The Flesh Demon ripped out his spine before turning it into a bow. Then, he expelled a muscle from his thigh to use as the bowstring. He pulled the thing, and the resentments in his body from years of experimenting on people's flesh condensed into an arrow.
He pointed the arrow toward the War God Spirit and fired without hesitation. The spirit casually turned his head to avoid the arrow, but the thing turned around without losing its momentum and speed and rushed toward him. No, the arrow became even faster. The spirit waved his ax to destroy it but frowned in the process.
The War God Spirit immediately noticed a black spot on his hand. 'A curse? Moreover, it's a potent one based on resentment.' A golden light descended from the sky, curing him of this curse. However, this was just the beginning.
The Flesh Demon started to fire thousands of arrows, all moving at unreasonable speed and containing a terrifying curse that resents all life. The War God Spirit could only evade while complaining about how weak his vessel was. Meanwhile, the other people Dulgun bought had to confront these arrows.
With her help, they barely survived these powerful arrows. However, they were not useless, leaving the Puppet Demon ample time and opportunity to move on this battlefield as he saw fit. He activated his core and teleported a few meters away from her.
The Puppet Demon looked at her with derision and hatred. "You'll make an excellent piece in my collection, while your husband's body is the best material to upgrade my brother's body."
"It seems I must do this the hard way," Dulgun stated, and her staff released myriad color lights that entered her body. The Puppet Demon's face changed, and he rushed over for the kill, but she casually swung her staff to counter his sword.
The Puppet Demon planned to go for a flurry of attacks; he even activated his Speed Rune to ensure he overwhelmed his opponent. However, he had to pause as he realized his sword had decayed after coming into contact with that staff.
