nThis time around, Molmo and Osse did not head to the arena where they had fought earlier.

nOriginally, Molmo was a little surprised. However, when he recalled the terrifying power behind Osse’s punch, which was able to shatter a massive boulder, he immediately felt relieved.

nIf Osse were to use his full strength, forget the arena, the entire Kakadores mansion would likely fall apart.

nMolmo followed behind Osse, and before long, they had arrived at the courtyard.

nOsse was holding a small stone in his hand. Using the stone, he then drew a circle with a radius of ten meters on the grass in the courtyard.

n“You can dodge to your heart’s content within the 3 minutes. However, you are not allowed to leave this circle.”

n“These are the rules. When you are ready, just start moving.”

nOsse said calmly.

nMolmo’s heart was thumping rapidly. He swallowed his saliva and looked at Osse.

nIn direct contrast, Osse was standing casually in front of Mormo, and he looked as if he had all the time in the world.

nMolmo’s perception had shown all the openings in Osse’s stance.

nHowever, the moment Molmo wanted to take advantage of those openings, a deep sense of unease arose from the bottom of his heart.

nIt was a new ability that Molmo had obtained after being possessed by the Devil.

nIt could be considered his sixth sense, and it would warn him of incoming danger.

nIt was this strong sense of danger that allowed Molmo to dodge many of the fatal attacks from Hercules.

nMolmo’s heart was pounding, and he was extremely stressed out.

nIf he were to attack recklessly now, the consequences would be disastrous.

nTime passed, and soon after, Molmo’s body was drenched in sweat.

nMolmo’s was stronger than he was before, but the pressure that Osse exerted still intimidated him to no end!

nIt felt as if there was a bottomless chasm separating them.

nAs time passed, fine beads of sweat appeared on Molmo’s forehead.

nAlthough Osse looked as if he was just standing there idly, in truth, he was like a god of war, exerting crushing pressure on Molmo and preventing him from moving.

nThe pressure on Molmo gradually stacked up, and before long, Molmo began to feel as if he were suffocating!

nHe clenched his teeth and finally leaped into action!

nThe ground beneath his feet was covered by countless black lines. A powerful force erupted at this moment!

nA huge hole was blasted open on the ground as a result of Molmo’s leap forward!

nMolmo was like a speeding arrow at this moment. He rushed towards Osse at breakneck speeds!

nA sonic boom had been created as a result of his movement!

nWhoosh!

nOsse spotted Molmo rushing towards him, but his expression did not change. An hourglass had appeared on his right hand out of nowhere.

nHe paid no heed to Molmo, and casually threw the hourglass in his hand to the side.

nThe hourglass landed onto the soil, completely upside down.

nThe countdown had begun!

nIn the next moment, Molmo’s figure had appeared right in front of Osse!

nMolmo had no intention of holding back at all. The bright silver dagger in his hand flickered with a fatal gleam!

nBoth of his hands were instantly covered with thin black threads. A sinister aura enveloped Molmo’s body!

nHis strength soared in mere moments!

nHe aimed at Osse’s head and slashed at him!

nClang!

nThe two made contact, and a loud noise of metal colliding against one another rang out.

nUnlike Molmo, however, Osse did not move at all. He had taken Molmo’s attack head on!

nHercules, who was watching from a distance, frowned.

nHe had detected the power behind Molmo’s attack clearly. It had contained enough strength to cut a Snow Wolf in half!

nEven Hercules himself needed a dozen or so seconds just to accumulate the strength necessary for such a feat!

nAt the same time, Hercules was also aware that such an attack would not be able to harm his father.

nA fingernail-sized wound had appeared on Osse’s forehead.

nHowever, there was no blood flowing out of it. Instead, a small dark flame appeared.

nThe flame only lasted for a moment before disappearing.

nThe wound on Osse’s forehead was immediately healed by the dark flame.

nMolmo’s brows furrowed even further. The impact of the collision had flung him back by 2-3 meters.

nHe knew that although his current physical condition was vastly different from his original body’s, he was certain that it would only take a single move from Osse to push him out of the range of the circle.

nOsse had already informed Molmo that once he stepped out of the ring, he would fail the assessment.

nAfter the lengths that Osse had gone through to provide Molmo with strength, Molmo was certain that if he were to fail here, it meant that he would have his newfound powers taken away from him in one way or another.

nMolmo refused to give up on the opportunity to take revenge on the Red Dragon!

nAt this moment, Osse moved.

nWithout making any extraneous movements, Osse slammed down the Dragon Scale Greatsword in Molmo’s direction!

nBoom!

nIt was merely a simple slash, but it had created a sonic boom in the process!

nMolmo’s perception was thrown into disarray by Osse’s powerful slash!

nTurbulence rocked the scene, the ground cracked, and the grass around him had been rooted out of existence!

n“Damn it!” Molmo cursed inwardly. He grabbed the bright silver dagger in his hands with both hands, and fiercely stabbed it at the ground!

nCrack!

nMolmo’s strength had instilled the dagger with great piercing power.

nHe had managed to stab the dagger into bedrock, and only by doing so did he manage to get a foothold.

nEven so, Molmo’s position was similar to a small boat drifting in the great ocean, highly precarious and capable of capsizing at any moment.

n“Ha!”

nMolmo roared. The black threads on his hands quickly spread, and both of his arms were covered by the black threads.

nHis arms turned pitch-black, and the veins on them bulged.

nMolmo’s strength amplified once more!

nHe shot himself in Osse’s direction!

nHe brought his hands high up above his head, and with great force, he launched yet another strike at Osse’s neck!

nAnother explosive slash!

nHercules’ eyes narrowed. He did not expect Molmo to recover this quickly from Osse’s counterattack.

nHe had surpassed Hercules expectations!

nIn terms of skill in combat, it was obvious that Molmo had already far surpassed him!
