L’s face twisted with disdain and mockery upon hearing Adele’s words.


    He retorted, “I’ll give you a chance too. Hand over the Four Elements Divine Fire, and I’ll stop. Otherwise, don’t me me for being ruthless!”N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.


    “Do I need your pity? Let’s see how long you can hold out,” Adele snarled through gritted teeth.


    “As long as I’m not dead, I can keep going! My endurance in battle is beyond your imagination!” L grinned, stomping his foot as his body shot towards Adele like a cannonball.


    Adele quickly shed out a sword light to prevent L from getting close.


    Boom!


    At that moment, the ground suddenly rumbled. L’s heavy stomp caused the earth to surge like waves, creating rming cracks.


    Adele staggered, losing her bnce and coughing up a bit of blood from the corner of her mouth. The earth’s pulsation was affecting her, especially since she was still recovering from severe injuries.


    Swish!


    Taking advantage of this opportunity, L turned into a blur and charged at her.


    “Damn it!” Adele cursed under her breath and vanished from her spot. In her domain, tearing through space for short-distance teleportation was a basic ability of the Powerful Fragmented Void.


    L’s attack missed its mark, but he remained undeterred, continuing to seek an opening.


    Boom! Boom! Boom…


    Their fierce battle continued, even though it seemed L was at a disadvantage. Adele wanted to end the fight quickly but found herself unable to do so. As the battle dragged on, she realized she was slowly sumbing to a chronic decline.


    “If my injuries re up again and I lose mybat ability, L will definitely kill me without hesitation!” she thought anxiously. “Should I really give up the Four Elements Divine Fire?”


    Her heart was filled with reluctance. Just then, L’s eyes lit up, and he entered a mysterious state. Each punch he threw made Adele feel strangely ufortable. His punches seemed slow, almost to the point of making one want to vomit blood, yet they always managed to meet her sword light perfectly.


    “What a wonderful feeling!” L’s face showed an inexplicable smile. Upon closer inspection, one could see his muscles vibrating at a high frequency in resonance with some rhythm. This high-frequency vibration would normally be an immense burden for him, slowing his punches to a crawl. But now, he had entered a peculiar state where his soul seemed to gain a special insight.


    At this moment, L felt every muscle in his body resonating with his mind. His muscles obeyed his will as if they were extensions of his thoughts. His eyes brightened as he realized he had entered the first stage of the Divine Beast Wildernesses Fist: “Unity of Spirit and Flesh.”


    He was ecstatic! Combat truly was one of the quickest ways to improve strength. After life-and-death battles with Kendrick and now this prolonged fight with Adele, he had grasped the essence of the first stage of the Divine Beast Wildernesses Fist.


    Unity of Spirit and Flesh!


    At this moment, L’s soul and body seemed perfectly synchronized. His body moved with his mind! Simultaneously, a pure power from his flesh seemed to awaken from his bloodline.


    Fleshly Divine Ability: The Unyielding Divine and Demonic!


    “Adele, take this punch!” L roared with unstoppable momentum as he charged at her.


    Sensing danger from his aura, Adele instinctively felt threatened. Without hesitation, she shed out with her Fire God Sword. However, this time, her sword light passed through L’s body without stopping him at all.


    L’s entire body appeared semi-transparent with a golden hue, giving off an ethereal feeling.


    The Unyielding Divine and Demonic: Upon activating this fleshly divine ability, for five breaths or until hitting the target, the user enters an invincible state where they are unaffected by external forces or harm. After hitting the target, the user will endure half of the damage inflicted on the target.


    A punch that harms both enemy and self leaves no room for regret!


    This was the fleshly divine ability that could only be performed in the Unity of Spirit and Flesh state: The Unyielding Divine and Demonic!


    “What is happening?” Adele was shocked as her attack passed through L’s body. When he got close again, she desperately thrust her sword at him once more. Yet again, it failed to harm him as if she were punching air.


    Whoosh!


    At that moment, L threw a punch. The space around it copsed andpressed. It seemed as though a divine and demonic roar echoed within him as his punch collided with Adele’s body. The semi-transparent golden light around L vanished instantly, returning him to his solid form.
