Liang Yue moved along the walls like a black panther, her blue Will Qi Entanglement protecting her entire body. With her left hand controlling the nanofibers and her right hand gripping Dragon's Roar, she slashed forward at the vast expanse of black liquid.

But unexpectedly, the black liquid, when shot out like arrows sharp enough to pierce walls, instantly softened upon contact with Liang Yue's Dragon's Roar.

The liquid wrapped around Dragon's Roar and splattered onto Liang Yue behind it.

"Hehehe, got you!"

A chilling laugh suddenly rang out in front of Liang Yue.

She looked down sharply and saw the black mucus on her combat suit slowly rising up, taking the shape of Mordred's head.

Liang Yue's face instantly turned pale. Even she found this eerie scene hard to accept.

"Get off me!"

Liang Yue erupted with blue Nen Qi, blasting the black liquid away.

As it fell into the swamp, Mordred's sigh echoed.

"Sigh, just a little more, and I could have burrowed into your body!"

She looked down sharply and saw the black slime on her combat suit slowly rising up, taking the shape of Mordred's head.

Liang Yue felt a shiver run down her spine.

But at the same time, she also realized the nature of Mordred's ability.

No wonder bombarding the entire swamp with grenades was useless.

He could transform into the entire swamp itself, rather than hiding somewhere within it.

"In other words, every drop of black liquid can be his main body. Unless the entire swamp is destroyed, he can just keep replicating himself, making him unkillable?"

Liang Yue's brows furrowed as a headache began to set in.

Mordred controlled the swamp as effortlessly as if it were an extension of his own arm.

So far, what she knew was that his ability could harden the swamp liquid, shooting it out like bullets, and since it was imbued with his power, it had devastating lethality.

Moreover, the swamp liquid could freely switch between solid and liquid states.

Being wrapped in this liquid meant being in Mordred's close quarters.

If it got into the body's orifices, the soft internal tissues would be instantly breached—a hundred percent fatal!

If Liang Yue wanted to fight back, she had to destroy the entire swamp, or else she couldn't kill Mordred.

This ability could be said to be the bane of reinforcement-type superhumans.

Liang Yue let out a long sigh inwardly. She wished Yang Xinxin were here right now.

Because Yang Xinxin's ability was practically a perfect counter to Mordred—with every part of him being a main body, he couldn't dodge the Desire Angel's arrows at all.

But no matter how much she wished, it was pointless. At this moment, she had to rely on her own strength to fight.

Just as Liang Yue was racking her brain over how to solve this problem, a massive human face emerged from the swamp.

Mordred looked up at her from the ground, a sinister smile curling at the corners of his mouth.

"Got you!"

Liang Yue's pupils sharply contracted. The next moment, she felt the sound of wind whistling above her head.

She looked up and saw that, at some point, the entire ceiling had turned into a muddy black swamp.

Black liquid dripped down like rain, dense and countless!

"I never said my ability could only work on the floor."

"But in a way, isn't the ceiling here also the floor of the level above?"

Mordred's mocking voice reached Liang Yue's ears.

With the indiscriminate rain of black liquid, Liang Yue had no way to dodge, and her formidable saber techniques were rendered useless.

Soon, she was completely wrapped up in the black liquid.

The black liquid writhed like living worms, eagerly rushing to envelop Liang Yue, binding her in the air into a massive black egg.

Mordred's face appeared on the surface of the egg—thousands of faces, all staring at Liang Yue.

"Surrender, lady!"

Fortunately, Liang Yue was wearing her Exoskeleton Armor at this moment. She quickly sealed it shut, preventing the swamp liquid from invading her body.

Otherwise, if she had been in ordinary combat suits, the consequences would be unthinkable!

But even so, the continuously encroaching black liquid was rapidly compressing the armor. The immense pressure caused the Exoskeleton Armor to emit a creaking, groaning sound of deformation.

"Ah!!!!!"

Liang Yue cried out in shock and fury. She let out a mighty roar, and blue Nen Qi burst out from all 362 acupoints across her body, blasting the black liquid away!

Mordred's faces densely appeared—on the ground, on the ceiling, on the walls.

"Useless. From the moment you stepped into this room, you were already trapped!"

His voice echoed throughout the room, as if Mordred was everywhere.

The walls had long been corroded. Liang Yue turned her head sharply to look at the door.

The two door panels had vanished, completely devoured by the black liquid.

At this moment, this room could no longer be described as a room.

It was like the organ of some giant creature, forming a single whole.

The name of that organ was Mordred.

Two thoughts flashed through Liang Yue's mind at this moment.

First, use every ounce of strength to escape this room.

Although her ability was countered by Mordred, making it extremely difficult to kill him, she could still unleash all her power, cut a slit, and break out.

Of course, the premise was that she had to escape from the door's position.

Because the walls were made of Barrier Stone, she couldn't break through them in a short time.

Second, seize the Divine Source first, then figure out how to deal with Mordred.

Time was running out for Liang Yue.

Because of the gradually melting walls, the massive mural embedded with the Divine Source gem was slowly being swallowed by the black swamp.

If she was any later, she wouldn't have a chance to escape!

Liang Yue narrowed her eyes and tightened her grip on Dragon's Roar.

The surrounding black swamp was relentlessly spreading toward her. There was no place in the entire room to hide.

So, she would go against the grain!

"The swamp's lethality isn't that terrifying; it's just annoying to deal with. So, if I'm fast enough, I can at least grab the Divine Source first!"

She made her decision.

Loosening the nanofibers in her hand, her powerful legs kicked off the stone pillar with force, and her entire body shot forward like an arrow loosed from a bowstring!

Mordred seemed not to expect Liang Yue to walk right into the trap. The black swamp surged even more violently, and the black liquid rose like nets, trying to ensnare her.

"Shlash!"

A dazzling saber light flashed in midair. With one slash, Liang Yue cut through the black swamp!

The black liquid shot upward. The swamp was only a few meters deep, and Liang Yue's slash split it open, revealing the smooth floor beneath!

Liang Yue had already swept across, rushing to the vicinity of the Divine Source.

How could Mordred stand by and watch Liang Yue take the Divine Source?

The black swamp surged toward her, overwhelming and all-encompassing.
