Chapter 407: Possession

Chapter 407: Soul Seizing

Li Wei was shattered by the ultrasonic sound waves of the White Netero.

Scattered into a pile of flames on the ground.

His consciousness suffered a shock.

For a while, his body could not recover.

His mind was hazy and unfocused.

After a long time, Li Wei finally regained his senses.

The White Netero had already vanished without a trace.

Li Wei's expression turned grave.

He glanced at his own condition and let out a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, his Nirvana Rebirth supernatural trait hadn't been triggered.

Otherwise, he would have lost one chance to save his life.

He had merely been stunned into unconsciousness for a period of time.

Li Wei swept his gaze around; the arena remained intact.

The White Netero hadn't destroyed the arena to excavate the Purple Star Stone.

Recalling what had just happened, a solemn expression gradually emerged in Li Wei's eyes.

The speed and strength of the White Netero were both terrifying.

It seemed capable of devouring surrounding sounds and then releasing them all at once to inflict massive damage on enemies.

If the Giant Netero was a warrior with tremendous power and astonishing defense,

then the White Netero was undoubtedly the ultimate assassin.

Coming without a shadow, leaving without a trace.

Li Wei pondered how to deal with the White Netero if they encountered again.

His first thought was to restrict the White Netero's speed.

As long as he could slow it down, there would be ways to counterattack.

Otherwise, he could only suffer blows unilaterally.

After some consideration, Li Wei realized that weakening the White Netero's speed was merely a last resort.

He didn't possess any relevant spells he was proficient in.

Perhaps the Ring of Fire Resistance could momentarily delay the White Netero's speed.

But given the White Netero's reaction speed, it would easily dodge such an attack.

Using his Flame Lord's body to withstand the assault was only a mediocre strategy.

The White Netero couldn't kill Li Wei in a short time, but its troublesome sonic attacks could severely wound him,

plunging him into an unconscious coma.

This state was extremely dangerous.

Li Wei needed a better method to deal with the White Netero, not just survive.

While Li Wei was searching for solutions,

a voice suddenly reached his ears.

Eris said, "Li Wei, be careful. It seems a monster has gone to your location."

"All signs indicate that monster is the formidable enemy who eliminated three elemental mages simultaneously this morning."

Li Wei's lips twitched; the news had arrived too late.

He had already been attacked by the White Netero.

Li Wei responded, "Mm, I know."

"You should also be careful."

"Alright."

The ground trembled, and thick smoke rose in the distance.

Li Wei instinctively looked up, his eyes narrowing slightly.

If he remembered correctly, there should be a challenge arena over there.

Only smoke, slight ground trembling, yet no sound came through.

Li Wei was ninety percent certain the White Netero had gone there.

Feeling the ground vibrations, Li Wei's eyes flickered as if he had thought of a way to deal with the White Netero.

"If nothing goes wrong, it should come back to find me."

Li Wei thought.

Indeed, as Li Wei had anticipated.

After the thick smoke from the distant battle had risen for some time,

Li Wei felt the sounds around him disappear.

Though he couldn't see the White Netero's figure, Li Wei was certain it had arrived.

It seemed the White Netero's target was to eliminate the arena champion.

It only attacked champions, not destroying arenas.

This meant it wasn't attracted by the Purple Star Stone.

Li Wei stood quietly on the arena platform.

The White Netero silently appeared behind Li Wei, launching an attack.

One punch pierced through Li Wei's chest.

Drip!

The White Netero's arm bled.

Fresh red blood dripped to the ground, making a sound. The White Netero's silent domain seemed to be broken.

It maintained the posture of piercing through Li Wei's body, standing motionless in place.

Li Wei turned his head to look at the White Netero, took a step forward, and pulled his body out from its arm.

As the White Netero's arm was withdrawn,

the Blade of Judgment was revealed.

The blade cut through the White Netero's arm, and fatal power had already invaded its body.

Instant death.

Li Wei watched as the White Netero was instantly slain by the Blade of Judgment.

He let out a breath he hadn't realized he was holding.

Any proactive attack against the incredibly swift White Netero had a chance of being dodged.

Only passively triggered strikes could harm it when it was completely unaware.

Li Wei kept the Blade of Judgment hidden within his body.

Having experienced an assault from White Netero before,

he knew that White Netero preferred to attack from behind.

Striking at the heart from behind.

Targeting vital points was White Netero's instinct in combat.

That very instinct led to its demise.

Li Wei positioned the Blade of Judgment at his heart.

White Netero punched through Li Wei's chest, its arm grazed by the Blade of Judgment and wounded.

Due to the blade's fatal effect, even the smallest wound meant certain death for White Netero.

Not to mention, as an extra precaution, Li Wei had coated the Blade of Judgment with Poison Dragon Saliva.

The lethal toxin from the Wind Poison Dragon could kill legendary-level creatures.

Even if the Blade of Judgment's fatal property didn't take effect,

the Poison Dragon Saliva would still poison White Netero.

Once poisoned, both speed and strength would diminish.

That would give Li Wei the opportunity to counterattack.

Yet the result was instant death—none of Li Wei's backup plans were needed.

He retrieved the Goddess Tear to cleanse his own poisoning.

And purified the Blade of Judgment as well.

During this process, the power of the Goddess Tear accidentally touched White Netero.

A blue light enveloped White Netero's body.

Moments later, White Netero's wounds healed, life force restored.

Li Wei showed surprise.

Had the Goddess Tear resurrected White Netero?

His expression turned grave as he gripped the Blade of Judgment, ready to strike again.

After a moment, he noticed White Netero standing motionless in place, showing no signs of movement.

Li Wei hesitated slightly with his action.

Carefully sensing for a while, he confirmed that White Netero had indeed come back to life—but not completely.

What returned was merely White Netero's body.

Its physical vitality was simply too formidable.

Even the Blade of Judgment couldn't fully kill it.

With nourishment from the Goddess Tear, its life force immediately rejuvenated.

However, White Netero's soul was already dead.

Before him stood only an empty shell without spirit.

Li Wei's eyes narrowed slightly, a thought stirring in his mind—an exciting possibility emerging.

"Shadow Servant!"

He summoned the Shadow Servant.

"Take control of this body."

Under Li Wei's command, the Shadow Servant slipped into White Netero's form.

Dark mist gradually merged into White Netero's body.

After some time, White Netero began to move.

The Shadow Servant successfully seized control of White Netero's body.

"Sssss!"

The Shadow Servant tried to speak, but Netero lacked such organs.

It could only produce inhaling sounds.

Neteros communicated among themselves without language.

They possessed their own unique method of communication.

A smile appeared on Li Wei's face.

With White Netero's body, the Shadow Servant's strength greatly increased.
