Blood Assimilation

With this conclusion, Randy also understood something else and stated: “So, in other words, the deranged state of the black-horned demon allowed its mental state to be unstable, and therefore, you couldn’t absorb the knowledge points for me to use?”

[[The system could easily absorb the knowledge points, no matter what form or state it is in, but the host cannot handle the aftereffects of utilizing such chaotic and unstable knowledge points, as it would only consume the host’s consciousness if not the host is not careful enough]]

“What a pity.”

Randy sighed and said: “If the divine points alone were this many from just this demon... Wouldn’t the knowledge points be abundant in quantity as well?”

“It truly is a pity.”

Randy sighed again as he brooded over his loss briefly before recalling his current situation.

“I need to search for my incarnation body and determine whether he is dead or alive.” Randy deeply stared into the distance at the razed trees and ruined surface of the ground with a frown on his face.

Upon closer observation of the surroundings, the first impression that came into Randy’s mind was that it seemed like a severe hurricane had passed by their location and devastatingly destroyed the trees along with the surrounding earth.

.....

After standing there for a few moments with a deep frown, Randy suddenly muttered: “I hope he is alive. I don’t want to see my own dead body even if it is only an incarnation.”

Randy silently thought, and he immediately charged towards the other side of the battlefield.

When he reached there, about a few seconds later, he activated his sensory skill, Dimensional Sense, to scour the surroundings in hopes of finding the whereabouts of not only his incarnation but the red-scaled demon that his incarnation was fighting.

Currently, the battlefield where his incarnation fought against the transformed, red-scaled demon has deformed to the point where the surrounding was either burned or molten by the intense heat.

Even though they were far away from the Meistic forest before their fight, it seemed that as time went by, they gradually approached the entrance to the forest, which ended up with some trees at the entrance of the forest burning into chars.

Not only that but there were even craters everywhere, one of which was so huge for some reason, even though it didn’t appear to be caused by the red-scaled demon’s crimson-dark flames.

The incredulous scene made Randy wonder what had happened between his incarnation and the red-scaled demon when he became absorbed in his fight against the black-horned demon.

Although he could hear intermittent explosions from their fight during his deadly fight against the black-horned demon, he didn’t have the luxury of checking out what was happening as he was also in a pinch at the time with the sinister dark energy corrupting his blood.

Thinking back on the situation just now, Randy felt a chill down his spine as it was truly a close call just then. If he hadn’t been able to devise a countermeasure in time, he would’ve either died or turned into a demon.

Putting that thought aside, he continued to search the surrounding area before finding the corpse of the red-scaled demon, who was in a sorry state on the other side of the huge crater spanning about 50 meters in diameter.

Not far away, about 60 meters away from the position of the red-scaled demon. Directly opposite the red-scaled demon’s position, Randy discovered his incarnation body that was also bartered and looked like a tenderized meat with no bones as it lay there on the ground in a very twisted and disturbing position.

Randy was momentarily shocked by the scene and quickly ran over to check up on his incarnation’s body.

However, to his surprise, his incarnation body was not breathing but had a proud smirk on his face, almost as though he had died gloriously from the battle, accompanying the red-scaled demon.

Curious about what had happened, Randy tried to use his consciousness synchronization spell on the incarnation’s body.

As for why he was doing something like that despite the incarnation seeming to already be dead, it was because the incarnation, although it appeared to be dead, it wasn’t truly dead, as he would’ve felt something like a mental attack when the incarnation had died.

But he hadn’t felt anything like that just yet, so the only logical explanation would be that the incarnation was still alive, or perhaps it was dead but just not completely, since it was a defective creation in the first place.

After all, despite the incarnation body made up of flesh and blood, it was still counted as a weapon or inanimate when he put it inside his spatial ring. Even though the incarnation did not have a consciousness at the time of creation, it still had a soul that should be identical to his.

In that sense, the incarnation should’ve been considered a living being that only lost consciousness and should’ve been rejected by the rules governing the spatial storage items to prevent the destruction of a living person’s consciousness as they enter the space of storage held within them.

With that determined, Randy placed his hand on the forehead of his incarnation’s body before he closed his eyes as if examining something.

A short while later, he abruptly opened his eyes as countless scenes flashed across his eyes, almost like a rolling movie tape with various scenes playing; In this case, the memories of incarnation Randy were playing instead.

Mind Synchronization Complete!

Randy then activated his Dimensional Sense skill without hesitation.

After checking his surroundings and making sure that no one was within a 100-meter radius around him, he closed his eyes again to examine, reshuffle, and experience the jumbled memories of his incarnation.

...

A while ago.

As Randy was corrupted by the sinister dark energy and wailing in pain, incarnation Randy descried his original self’s situation from the corner of his eyes for a brief moment and immediately understood what was going on.

Therefore, he did not dare to engage in close combat with the transformed, red-scaled demon who madly pursued him around, intending to burn him to death.

Incarnation Randy did not give the other party the chance to catch up to him as he continuously sped up.

Contrary to the red-scaled demon’s intention, let alone burn him to death, he instead evaded almost all of the red-scaled demon’s predictable flame attacks at breakneck speed, so in the end, the intense flame attacks dealt little damage to him.

He achieved all that with his enhanced physical strength and agility alone that was brought about by his only usable skill at the moment, which was the ‘Body Strengthen’ skill.

That was the beginning of his glorious battle of life and death with the red-scaled demon!
