Bro, I'm not an Undead!

(A/N: Bonus Chapter)

Gertreld hurled up the short and naked figure of Tomin from behind, her gauntleted hands locking around his waist as she arched back and slammed the uglified man into the ground in a supplex!

Tomin slammed down with his head into crumpled ground with a loud rumble as he grit his teeth, the halo of red Aura from Gertreld blasting against his skin!

The combination of Gertreld and Prisma's attacks were fierce, the lady's brutal punches and kicks delivering with them the De-beautifying effect that shortened him and warped his bodily features which in turn actually limited his abilities.

His strength, speed and overall burst power had been reduced by quite the large amount, his mana becoming hard to control as his proportions no longer matched his core!

On the other hand, Prisma's attacks were disorienting and the two blows he had received earlier from [Greatest Physical Damage Refraction] were still aching at his chest.

The constantly flight and swinging had left him all but bitter as he found it hard even retaliate against this fiend, as that would only allow the golden Knight to damage his more but returning the fisty favours!

'Argh!'

As Tomin smashed into the ground, her found Prisma's figure shooting down like a shooting star to bear down a punch at him in full force!

His face sank deep into the ground, as part of it was even swollen from his Full Body Aura flickering, letting all the damage slip in from time to time!

Tomin pulled his head up only to see Prisma cocking back his arm again to fling another knuckle-full punch!

His eyes darted to the right, their keen acuity noticing Guissepo's gaze.

'Of course... you won't lift a finger as long as I'm here, will you? Extravagant bastard...' Tomin thought as he spat blood, stealing Guissepo's habit of abusing a particular word.

While his mana was harder to mobilise, his blessing was accessible so long as he had the stamina to spare, though said stamina was downed in huge chunks for each use, which made it harder to blessing than before as well considering the condition of his body. But still...

'Infinite Instance!'

Tomin pulled away from Gertreld's grip as he then escaped Prisma's punch!

He shot away, tumbling over the ground like speedy tumbleweed!

The ground itself which looked like it had been stomaching the effects of a large scale war hurt to slide over and in the next moment, a flying golden figure appeared above Tomin with extreme speed seeking pound him into the same ground!

"Not so fast, Petty fool!"

Prisma launched a punch at Tomin, the gauntleted fist reaching the man's head when suddenly...

Tomin disappeared as if he wasn't there in the first place!

Instead, he appeared ten meters away, tumbling over as he had done when he escaped the Pelvis-Hegemon's punch moments ago!

Gertreld flashed over to his side with a murderous visage, her gauntlet glowing as it dug into his abdomen immediately!

However...

Tomin vanished once again, appearing ten meters away, tumbling over the ground before he could feel the full impact of the growing attack!

...!

Both Prisma and Gertreld noticed this strange sequence and rushed towards the naked man, but Tomin wouldn't tell them that it was futile.

His blessing, Infinite Instance, worked by making an action he had already done, turn into multiple instances.

Of course, with more complex actions like dodging attacks which required more than just his input, he couldn't recreate as many instances as he wanted because of his lacking mastery, but for now, what he was capable of, was sufficient.

As the two approached him, his eyes burned with a malicious glint as he suddenly darted towards Gertreld!

Prisma flew in to come between the two, the trident-like symbol on his chestplate flashing to blast Tomin but the man cocked back suddenly opened his mouth and spoke.

"Infinite Instance, Speed!"

Tomin's figure bolted forward even as he felt the unfamiliarity with this speed on his altered body!

He zipped by Prisma before the Pelvis-Hegemon could even notice and appeared behind Gertreld who was sensed his presence behind her.

Unfortunately, it was too late!

Tomin launched a quick but powerful jab at Gertreld as he harnessed all his Aura into his fist even as it flickered!

Gertreld who had begun to turn her head to him was smashed by the darting punch right in the chin with crippling might!

BAM!

Gertreld felt a shuddering wave of pain as her body felt feeble from the blow which disabled her cognitive abilities!

Her vision wobbled and the basic form of action for her became immensely difficult as her body then turned limb!

Tomin's eyes flashed as he immediately slung her over his shoulder and dashed away!

Prisma quickly rose up in flight to chase, blasting forward at top speed to catch up to Tomin but once again, Tomin ground his teeth as he uttered, "Infinite Instance, Speed!"

His figure literally soared over the ground as he ran forward, his racing body vanishing from view time after time as he exhibited insane speed to leave Prisma in the dust!

Prisma halted in mid-air after seeing that his pursuit was meaningless and instead pulled out a large blow and arrow from his spatial storage ring.

The bow had a rough appearance, like rough cast on a wall with a beige colour over it making it look menacing.

The arrow was golden in colour with its head akin to a sharpened crystal.

Prisma nocked the arrow and drew on the bow to 30% of its capacity, as that was his current capability, and in the next moment, he released the arrow which whizzed through the air at blinding speed!

The arrow covered the growing distance between Prisma and Tomin in a blink, emitting a low whistle as it headed for the figure of Tomin that was almost at the invisible barrier!

The arrow swiftly caught up and shot right into Tomin's chest, the naked man growling in pain as he felt strength get sapped from his body!

He grit his teeth and leapt forward, being fortunate enough to spill himself and Gertreld into the barrier before he slumped and before Prisma had loosened the second arrow!

Tomin stumbled after he entered the barrier, falling over with Gertreld's body which was twitching as she tried to regain control.

Tomin tried to steady himself, but he failed to remain calm. His skin started to turn pale and thick, blue veins popped from his skin, squirming under his skin!

He pulled out the arrow that was in his back and flung it away while wheezing.

'Damn it. I knew there was something dangerous about these arrows!' he thought as he thought back to when he had caught one aimed at his head earlier.

On top of the effects of the arrow, he felt his body screaming in pain from being restructured by Gertreld's Form Using ability, Classic Bombshell Beauty.

This solidified a theory that had been ongoing in his mind that Gertreld's ability actually had a terrifying scope, as if she were to evolve beyond her current level, she could end being able to transfigure human beings as she willed.

Potentially.

Tomin grabbed Gertreld and set her in the middle of the formation where strips of energy suddenly held down the lady by her arms and legs, her red Full Body Aura which was still flickering around her, being incapable of helping her.

Tomin looked up with his pale face as he coughed horribly at Guissepo who looked at Gertreld with a somewhat pleased look.

"You managed to catch on to the extravagant blessing that this woman has. Didn't think you could catch her on your own..." he said as he looked at Tomin's appearance. "Though with a heavy price.

"Of course I did. Though that doesn't seem to impress you much!" Tomin retorted.

"Extravagantly so!" Guissepo said much to Tomin's fury as a vein popped up from the side of his head. "Well, now we have to deal with the rest of this extravagant charge."

A short distance away, Tulnas' vision pierced through the barrier as he saw Gertreld's captured figure.

This was beginning to escalate dangerously.
