Boom boom boom…

Number 45's fists pounded wildly against the shield, completely disregarding any other areas of Caesar's body, as if he had gone berserk and lost his mind.

But Caesar calmly caught the impacts, and when the next punch came, he suddenly raised his shield to counterattack.

With a snap, the shield crushed number 45's fist with tremendous force.

But in that instant, the splattered blood and flesh seemed to flow backward, returning to their original state in a flash.

Number 45 revealed a cruel smile and suddenly fell!

boom!

Blood and flesh were splattering everywhere, but number 45 was completely bewildered.

Because Caesar watched expressionlessly as the fist smashed into his chest, then, like an egg hitting a rock, turned into flesh and blood.

"You can't even break my shield, yet you think you can hurt me?"

His calm tone, however, revealed an arrogant undertone, further fueling Number 45's anger.

Snap snap snap…

The slender sword whistled through the air and swiftly landed on Number 45, piercing several small holes. However, without careful observation, one could not even notice that he had injured his opponent.

Because the recovery was so fast.

Number 45 seemed to want to emulate Caesar, coldly replying, "That's it?"

Nico remained calm, took a few steps back, and said with a playful tone, "Why don't you take another look?"

Number 45 sensed something was wrong. As soon as he took a step, his thigh felt as if it had been corroded by concentrated sulfuric acid, dissolving rapidly and causing him to thud and fall to the ground.

This was not the end; the toxins continued to expand within his body, and his entire body was dissolving.

Nico swung his rapier. All nine kinds of strange beast spirits were highly poisonous creatures. Once the spirits possessed him, their toxins fused together, making them terrifying beyond description.

Looking at the dissolved No. 45, who had completely lost consciousness,

"That's easy." Caesar raised an eyebrow. "Maybe we were worrying for nothing; we can just move the computer case."

“That’s not gentlemanly behavior, but of course, if you insist, I won’t stop you as a gentleman,” Nico teased.

"hehe."

Caesar turned his attention back to Number 45. Even with their brief bickering, they remained vigilant, and Number 45's changes at this moment did not disappoint them.

The dissolved body revealed the skeleton, or rather, the human body encased in the skeleton.

He didn't look like a skeleton, but rather like a strong, muscular man covered with individual bones—simple yet full of power.

Number 45 spoke in a hoarse voice: "Kill..."

Silently, he appeared behind Nico, whose expression changed slightly. Nico snapped back to his senses and blocked the attack, while several ghostly figures emerged from the book at his waist and entered his body.

boom!

With a sizzling sound, the soles of their feet rubbed deep marks against the ground, as if someone were floating on air.

Several powerful ghostly forces blocked the attack for Nico, but he also felt his arm go numb.

Bang!

The fist slammed down, like striking a bell, colliding with the shield and unleashing rings of sound.

Caesar's gaze sharpened slightly, for a fine crack had appeared on the shield.

thump thump thump…

In an instant, more than a dozen punches landed, seemingly driven by a peculiar obsession with the shield. The next second, the shield could no longer withstand Number 45's relentless attacks and shattered.

A familiar scene unfolded: a fist descended upon Caesar's chest.

This time, Caesar didn't hesitate either; he swung his axe at number 45's neck, trading blows for injury.

Two loud bangs.

Both remained in place, and their attacks landed on each other, creating waves that cleared the surrounding area.

Neither of them showed any signs of injury.

Seeing the axe stuck in the bone, Caesar knew he couldn't kill his opponent in a short time.

"You attack."

After saying that, Caesar put the axe back into his spatial bracelet, grabbed Number 45's arms with both hands, and Nico took the opportunity to switch into a new ghost and came behind Number 45.

Number 45 did not sit idly by and wait to die. After realizing that the strength was evenly matched, he suddenly tilted his head back and then headbutted.

state!

Caesar grinned: "My turn."

The pure gold patterns bloomed on his forehead, and firefighter number 45 gave him a headbutt.

"That's really rough," Nico muttered disdainfully, but then he heard a faint cracking sound.

Caesar's headbutt caused some damage, which enraged Number 45, who then suddenly kicked out.

Even as the thud sounded, Caesar remained calm and even kicked him back.

Silently, just as he was about to defend against the kick, a thin sword, as if a toothpick had pierced through tofu, went straight through the back of his head.

The combined power of the nine attacking beasts' spirits made Nico's rapier incredibly terrifying, easily tearing through number 45's defenses.

His gaze was somewhat vacant, clearly indicating that the blow had indeed been fatal to him!

"Sheathe your sword!"

Caesar released one hand, and Nico immediately stepped back.

He paused for half a second as if gathering his strength, and then punched number 45 in the face!

The arm, adorned with golden patterns, carried unparalleled power, crushing the bone structure on number 45's face inch by inch.

boom-!

With a loud bang, the immense force caused Number 45's head to explode, just like a watermelon, with red and white liquid splattering all around.

"You did this on purpose, didn't you?" Nico's face darkened slightly as he looked at the traces of blood on his sleeve with displeasure.

"How could that be? I'm a gentleman," Caesar replied calmly.

It was clearly intentional.

The two stared at the fallen body of number 45, and only after confirming that he would not run again did they silently breathe a sigh of relief.

The commotion of this battle was completely concealed by the countless strands of black hair.

Nico touched the wall; it looked like an ordinary wall at first glance, but the touch revealed something slightly different. If he hadn't known beforehand that the black hair covered the area, he probably wouldn't have noticed anything amiss.

"Miss Jasmine's hair is still as amazing as ever."

Caesar glanced at the book at his waist. "You two aren't that different in terms of being weird."

The two waited and got up, while Ye Qianqing and her companion found Luo Hongxia, who was still unconscious.

"According to the files that Nico has seen, this is Luo Hongxia's true form."

Ye Qianqing approached the hibernation pod-like device and carefully examined the figure inside through the glass.

To be honest, seeing so many Luo Hongxias outside, she felt a strange sense of fear towards that face, and she wasn't sure if it was real or fake.

The only way to confirm that this is Luo Hongxia's true form is by relying on Qin Sheng's records.

"Jasmine, I'm leaving her to you."

Seeing that Luo Hongxia showed no signs of waking up, Ye Qianqing stopped observing and made way for Jasmine.

The hibernation pod opened, and layers of hair wrapped around Luo Hongxia's body, causing him to stand up stiffly and move around like a puppet.

With her black hair disguised as two eyes, Jasmine said, "Alright."

The operator, Luo Hongxia, and the others reunited and returned to the elevator.

The rest was very simple: meet up with the two outside and then leave Creation City.

The mission is now successfully completed!
