Chapter 9: Never Lose
The ratmen swiftly circled around Lynch, jumping between stones.
Lynch kept changing his position, trying not to expose his back to the rat man.
“Crack!”
A ball was thrown at Lynch by the rat man. Lynch swung his stick to hit it far away, but was stopped by the dart that followed.
The dart hit the stick, slowing Lynch down a beat, which was enough for the ball to complete its mission.
As Lynch watched anxiously, a roar was heard, and the violent explosion caused a partial collapse of the cave, burying Lynch underneath.
The ratman nimbly moved away from the danger zone in the chaos, but it did not leave.
It must ensure the death of its target and prevent other creatures from interfering.
Under the rocks, Lynch was blown to pieces, and the flames suppressed his ability to recover.
The oxygen supply was decreasing, which was more fatal than Lynch's injuries.
Lynch called out the panel again.
[Current potential development degree: 25]
[Current Affixes: Rebirth, Heavy Armor, Negative Status Immunity]
[Enhancement optional]
Lynch was looking for useful modifications, and a term called "deoxygenated life form" came to his mind.
This would free him from the constraints of oxygen on his life.
At some point, Lynch stopped breathing.
【Transformation Successful】

Lynch waited quietly for his wounds to heal. After an unknown amount of time, he pushed away the rocks on his body and prepared to fight again.
In the darkness, Hei Shisan, who was waiting for the opportunity, looked at Lin Qi who crawled out with some confusion.
It had to admit that this lizard was its most difficult target so far.
But it still has a way to kill this seemingly immortal monster.
Black Thirteen took out a notched black dimension stone blade, which was a good thing he got from the Skryre Clan.
It is a special short knife made of a mixture of metal and warp stone, which can easily break the armor of the dwarf king! It is sharp enough, but it is not strong enough.
Hei Shisan almost lost it in a previous commission.
Even when the tenacious dwarf king was seriously injured and dying, he still managed to launch a dying counterattack.
Black Thirteen, who had no time to dodge, used the dimensional stone blade to block the dwarf's hammer.
This caused it to suffer damage that made Hei Shisan feel distressed, but fortunately the dwarf thing was too weak and its strength was far less than before.
The Dimensional Stone Blade cannot be used as a conventional weapon, and just carrying it is extremely risky, as the Dimensional Stone is highly toxic and radioactive.
The ratmen's long-term addiction to the warpstone has made them indifferent to these dangers.
Dimensional Stone is so useful that precious armor and rare amulets in the Skaven society are all made of Dimensional Stone.
This kind of stone with powerful magical power is the most valuable currency! Black Thirteen looked at the short knife reluctantly for the last time.
The reward for this mission is very generous. Maybe I can go to the Skryre Clan and ask the Warlock Engineer to get a Warpstone Blade.
Before Lynch could completely crawl out, Black Thirteen jumped directly to him and cut his throat with a dagger.
It almost chopped off Lynch's head if Lynch hadn't hurriedly used his sharp claws to force Black Thirteen to defend himself.
When Black Thirteen jumped back, he did not forget to use his tail blade to create a terrible wound on Lynch's arm.
The sudden heavy blow made Lynch almost crazy. He pounced on the rat man like a beast, trying to kill the assassin with his teeth and claws.
Fortunately, Lynch quickly regained his sanity. After forcing the ratmen back, he quickly picked up his weapon and defended himself with his back against the wall.
Lynch took the opportunity to open the panel and start a new strengthening transformation. This time he chose the term "full of energy".
It is foreseeable that if the rat assassin does not give up the assassination, it will be a long battle.
Hei Shisan took advantage of the victory and continued to attack Lynch's wounds with various hidden weapons.
Lynch blocked the attacks with his hands, but his palms were almost cut off by the elusive sharp blades.
This time the wound healed much slower than before, and discarded flesh and blood kept falling off.
His immunity also has its limits, even after being strengthened.
Warpstone is a more insidious and terrifying force than Venom, and is more difficult to be eliminated by pure organisms.
After leaving a pile of necrotic flesh and blood on the ground, Lynch managed to survive the most dangerous period without any danger.
Black Thirteen would certainly not sit idly by and watch Lynch recover, and he would quietly launch attacks from time to time.
Since Lynch focused on protecting his throat, it had to settle for the next best thing and cut a long and narrow wound on Lynch's stomach.
Lynch had to admit that he did it largely on purpose.
This is a perfect opponent. It cannot kill Lynch instantly, but Lynch is not afraid of the heavy blow and even looks forward to it.
Waving the scepter to repel the ratmen, Lynch opened the panel again and chose to strengthen his reaction ability.
His burst speed is actually not slower than that of the rat man, but his reaction is too slow.
[Current potential development degree: 40]
[Current Affixes: Rebirth, Heavy Armor, Negative Status Immunity, Deoxygenated Lifeform, Full of Strength, Super Agility]
Lynch found that the rat man's movements slowed down. No, it was Lynch who became faster.
He used the staff to block the dimensional stone blade that was attacking from the left side by the rat man. Under the rat man's sad gaze, the stone blade was smashed into pieces by the solid staff.
Lynch had no intention of keeping it. To underestimate the enemy would be to court his own destruction.
The rat man retreated nimbly and Lynch did not chase him. When it was concentrating on escaping, Lynch could not catch up with it.
The rat man threw a few darts in a roundabout way, which were narrowly intercepted by Lynch.
When he was sure that Lynch was not lucky enough to block his attack, but was getting stronger with each attack, Hei Shisan began to waver.
But the Master Assassin's pride made him unwilling to give up!
It still has methods, it always has tricks to kill its targets, just as it always has.
Black Thirteen has no experience of failure. If it gives up, it will become the first Black Thirteen to fail in an assassination!
This is a shame that is difficult to wash away. Even if it is killed, it cannot wash away the stain that Clan Eshin has stained.
After taking a deep look at Lynch, Hei Shisan's figure disappeared into the darkness.
It will come back, for what little pathetic dignity it has left.
The conflict came to an end, and Lynch looked in the direction where Hei Shisan left without being too worried.
He had already defeated the assassin once.
Lynch will only get stronger, so why should we be afraid of a rat who can only survive in the shadows?
Sooner or later, Lynch will instigate the Lizardmen to attack the Rat City and personally eradicate these filthy creatures.
The Lizardmen will start the "Great Purge" again, just like they did ten thousand years ago.
With the Scepter of Kotego, Lynch was no longer afraid of being recognized by Slan. The relics of the ancient saint had proved his reliability.
He just had to prove himself worthy of holding the relic.
Then, it was time for him to find a way to get Shi Lan to actively interfere with the world! Lin Qi continued to move forward along the underground coast. The caves in this area were not connected to each other and were all dead ends.
He had to face the sea water that he feared and explore along the coast.
Well, he wasn't too scared. Lynch just didn't want to die in obscurity. There was no honor in dying in the aftermath of a monster operation.
That gigantic sea beast could cause a horrific natural disaster simply by turning over inadvertently!
