#725 - Neville's Transformation (asking for monthly ticket recommendation ticket)

Faced with the urgent situation, Neville, Ron, and Harry abandoned any semblance of tactics and charged towards Jason in unison.

They had to take him down before the fear level reached its maximum, or the consequences would be unimaginable.

Neville, choosing to engage head-on, unhesitatingly activated his [Combat Frenzy] skill, swinging his longsword towards Jason's neck.

His attack was indeed successful. Jason's chainsaw, meant for a heavy blow, was deeply embedded in the earth. Faced with Neville's attack, he didn't have time to parry, and his brain didn't seem to be working well enough to consider dropping the weapon and dodging.

However, Jason's body was as if forged from refined steel. Neville's Flame-Shaped Sword pierced through his muscle tissue, only to be stopped by bones as hard as iron.

At the same time, the severed part of his neck spurted blood like a fountain, splashing Neville's face.

However, the heavily injured Jason didn't seem to feel any pain, ignoring his injuries and forcefully pulling out the chainsaw, then swinging the weapon horizontally, fiercely sweeping towards Neville.

Neville's longsword was stuck firmly in Jason's neck, and he couldn't pull it out in time. Faced with the enemy's counterattack, he could only reluctantly abandon his sword and dodge.

After all, his body wasn't as freakish as Jason's, and the energy of his amulet was running low.

However, although Neville was forced to retreat, Harry and Ron had already flanked him, circling around Jason from the left and right, swinging their sharp blades and smashing them down.

Ron even chopped like he was felling a tree, directly burying his fire axe into the back of Jason's knee. Although this didn't sever Jason's leg, the joint injury caused him to stagger and kneel.

But while this attack effectively restricted Jason, preventing him from moving temporarily, Ron's axe was also stuck and couldn't be pulled out. In his urgency, Ron grabbed the axe handle with one hand and stepped on Jason's butt, starting a tug-of-war.

"Forget the weapon, use Petrification Charms with me!" Hermione, seeing Ron still struggling with the axe, shouted anxiously.

With that, Hermione took the lead in casting Petrification Charms, because she was still unclear about how he had dodged or escaped her [Purifying Flash] attack before.

Therefore, the best strategy now was to shatter the enemy into pieces!

But directly using the Shattering Charm would definitely not break through his defense, so she could only hope to change Jason's physique with the Petrification Charm.

Neville and Ron, around Jason, were startled awake by Hermione and immediately abandoned retrieving their weapons, instead pulling out their wands and starting to fire fiercely.

Harry, on the other hand, continued to grip his somewhat cute machete, frantically scraping Jason from behind. His strength was much weaker than the other two, so his damage to Jason was negligible, basically only able to break through a layer of skin with each slash.

Faced with the siege from all sides, Jason also seemed a little agitated, switching the chainsaw to a one-handed grip and sweeping it around randomly.

It wasn't that Jason didn't want to get up and chase, but his calf joint had been severed by Ron, and he couldn't move at all. Coupled with the fact that his movements were indeed slow, all he could do now was struggle desperately.

Soon, under the continuous casting of spells by the three, Jason's body was gradually turned into stone, and finally, Harry delivered a jumping chop, smashing Jason into pieces.

Seeing the enemy finally turned into stone, the quartet breathed a sigh of relief. Their battle just now seemed simple, with them pressing Jason the whole time, but there were many lucky breaks. If Ron hadn't chopped his leg off with an axe, they probably wouldn't have won so easily.

However, just as they were relaxing, they suddenly noticed that the stone pieces of Jason's corpse were fading and slowly disappearing into the air.

It was just like before when he was hit by the [Purifying Flash]!

"Careful! Harry!"

Hermione shouted at Harry on the opposite side, because she discovered that Jason, who should have been dead, was now appearing behind Harry, completely intact, except that he had changed weapons, no longer the scary chainsaw, but a two-handed great axe.

Hearing Hermione's warning, Harry quickly lunged forward, but this time, Jason didn't know if it was because he had changed weapons or because his body had changed, but his movements were significantly more agile than before, actually directly chopping down on Harry in mid-air.

Fortunately, Harry's amulet was new, and the shield it erected barely blocked the opponent's attack, but this also knocked off more than half of the shield's value, almost scaring the cold sweat out of Harry.

Seeing this, Neville and Ron hurriedly stepped forward to pick up their lost weapons and face Jason again.

They had all realized by now that this Jason, although a guy with great strength and slow reactions, could actually revive!

Now they didn't know if continuing to fight would allow him to regenerate again, but they had no other choice at this point.

Because after Jason reappeared, their fear level began to rise slowly again. Although it didn't seem as fast as before, they would all be dead if they dragged it out.

However, Jason, after reviving again, had undergone a great change. Although his size hadn't changed, his flexibility had increased a lot. Faced with the attacks of Neville and Ron, he could barely keep up with their speed.

Neville's Combat Frenzy skill hadn't ended yet, so each of his chops was fast and ruthless, but Jason had learned to dodge by sidestepping and leaning back, and he was no longer as reckless as before, starting to use his weapon to parry.

Seeing that several of his consecutive slashes were dodged and parried by Jason, Neville didn't show any impatience, but his heart became more and more calm, and his attention became more and more focused.

He seemed to be a natural warrior, able to unleash 120% of his strength in times of crisis.

Soon, he found an excellent opportunity.

After another thrust was dodged by Jason, Neville didn't retract his strength to defend as usual, but chose to use up his remaining strength, causing his whole body to lunge forward.

Seeing Neville reveal such a big opening, Jason sidestepped without thinking, then raised his long axe and chopped down fiercely.

Jason was now on Neville's side. If this chop landed, it would either decapitate him or cut him in half, a very dangerous situation.

This even made Hermione in the distance widen her eyes in surprise, and her heart almost skipped a beat.

However, Neville remained calm in this critical moment. He forcefully kicked his front leg that was lunging forward, and at the same time, he turned sideways and crashed into Jason's arms, directly hitting him full in the chest with his shoulder and back.

At the same time, Neville's hand movements didn't slow down. He quickly retracted his supporting arms, then beautifully and neatly flicked his sword, pulling the longsword back and bracing Jason's arms.

You must know that Jason was still chopping down with all his strength. Neville, who was originally under the axe blade, suddenly ran to his chest and abdomen, and Neville's horizontally braced Flame-Shaped Sword was located between his elbow and wrist.

So everyone on the scene witnessed what is called self-severing of both arms!

Jason almost used all his strength to smash his arms on the longsword, and then a crisp 'snap' sound was heard in the air, and his hands gripping the great axe were easily and smoothly cut off by the sword blade.

Such a change even made Jason himself a little unresponsive. His dull brain was still wondering, he was clearly chopping people, how did his hands suddenly disappear?

In the instant Jason was stunned, Neville's eyes were filled with sharpness. He didn't hesitate at all, quickly turning around and chopping Jason's head in two with a swing of his sword.

"Puff!"

Crimson blood spurted wildly from half of Jason's head and between his elbows, splashing like a water gun on the 12-year-old boy in front of him.

The other three were shocked by Neville's ruthless methods and heroic performance, to be honest, they were stunned just now.

"The enemy's body strength will have a certain degree of attenuation each time he revives, but his speed and reaction will also increase. Be careful, everyone." Neville flicked his sword gently, speaking firmly and quickly to his teammates.

Neville seemed to have undergone some kind of transformation at this time, and his whole aura became extremely sharp, even his voice carried a chill.

After Neville's reminder, everyone realized that Jason's corpse was unknowingly slowly disappearing from the air again.

And Jason, who reappeared, was now behind Neville, still holding the battle axe, and staring at Neville fiercely after appearing, as if he wanted to eat him on the spot.

After discovering Jason's trace, they just wanted to warn him, after all, this guy always attacked from behind, not giving others a chance to react.

But at this time, Neville seemed to have eyes on his back, sensing the opponent the moment Jason appeared.

Neville didn't even turn his head, and thrust the sword straight back, as if committing suicide, letting the sword blade graze his side abdomen.

Jason had just appeared and hadn't had time to react when he was stabbed in the stomach, and then Neville swung the sword fiercely, instantly disemboweling him.

As a result, this time Jason was killed by Neville as soon as he revived!

Of course, the battle didn't end there, Jason's corpse turned into nothingness again, but when he reappeared again, he didn't appear behind Neville.

Even his somewhat dull brain now knew that the sword-wielding boy was not easy to mess with.

However, Jason, who revived again, had once again undergone a change in his body. The weapon in his hand had now been replaced with a meat cleaver, and not only had the weapon become one-handed, but even the attack distance had been shortened a lot.

At the same time, his strength and physique had also weakened again. Although his reaction and speed had further improved, his overall aura and oppressiveness were far less intense than before.

Moreover, there was also Neville, who had just gone berserk, on the scene. He rushed out like a mad dog after Jason reappeared, and then cut him into minced meat with a few strokes.

Such a scene made the other three a little unbearable to look at. This was too bloody and too cruel.

If a unscrupulous reporter saw the scene, they would have to come up with a title like "Cold-Blooded Teen Violently Dismembers Strong Man Outside Gas Station".

And Jason, who had been killed again, revived once again.

But this time everyone could see the weakness on his body, obviously Jason couldn't revive infinitely.

Then this Jason was unsurprisingly beaten to death by the four, from beginning to end this terrifying-looking strong man didn't make a sound.

And after Jason's death this time, he didn't disappear into the air like before, but his whole body emitted a strange red and black magical flow, and then went straight into the ground.

Or rather, the land under Jason's feet absorbed or retrieved the power from his body, and then Jason's entire body shattered into a cloud of smoke like sand with a 'bang'.

The only thing left on the scene was the strange multi-holed mask on Jason's face, and it was emitting a faint purple light.

"Phew… Thank goodness!" After such a hard battle, Ron collapsed to the ground, completely exhausted. "This guy is too weird, he actually has six lives, fighting him almost broke my bones."

"What do you have to complain about? Half of this monster's lives were solved by Neville alone." Hermione rolled her eyes at Ron, and then slapped the back of his head dissatisfied.

"Why do you hit people at every turn?" Ron glared at her dissatisfied. "And have you forgotten how that guy's second life was taken down? If I hadn't chopped off his feet with an axe, could we have won so easily?"

But Ron said and looked at Neville with lingering fear, "But Neville, your aura was too scary just now, what's wrong with you, are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Neville's sharpness in his eyes after the battle hadn't completely faded, but he still smiled slightly. "In the previous battle, I had a very special feeling, it's hard to describe to you, it's like suddenly waking up from a daze, everything around me became exceptionally clear, and I felt that my brain became a lot more flexible."

Neville said and smiled, exhaling a long breath. Although he had just experienced a great battle, his whole body felt as comfortable as if he had taken a hot bath, all the muscles and bones in his body seemed to be opened, and his thinking became much clearer and more agile, changing his previous slightly inferior and dull state.

Ron also noticed Neville's change and couldn't help but sincerely admire, "Could this be the 'transformation' that Professor Wilson once said? Every time he increases our training volume, he says that this is to prepare to help us quickly complete the transformation, I thought he was making excuses, I didn't expect this to be true!"
