The Kaishan Fist has a fierce style and extremely fast punch speed.

In just a few dozen breaths.

Roger had no idea how many punches he had thrown!

Every punch hit Humphran's vital points, causing double damage!

The "resurrected" Humphland defended in vain.

But he couldn't resist this fierce and violent boxing!

“No, no, no!”

"I still have a trump card... I still have..."

The panicked sound was spread by the deep pit and echoed repeatedly among the reeds, sounding particularly desolate.

The only response to Humphran was a ruthless iron fist!

In the blink of an eye, his health points dropped to around 1,000 points.

He shrank into a ball.

The newly formed head suddenly split open a crack and swallowed the bloody tumor in one gulp!

The data bar is displayed.

Humphran's health is recovering at an extremely fast rate.

His resurrection progress is also greatly accelerated!

"When I am resurrected, I will show you what a trump card is!"

"I will offer your soul to God and imprison you in a place of torture forever !"

Roger ignored him and continued to punch hard.

In fact.

The moment Humphran swallowed the tumor.

Roger's body surface involuntarily attracted a large amount of elements!

These elements lingered around Roger reluctantly, not daring to get close, yet reluctant to leave.

"How can you still..."

Humphrey's voice was completely interrupted.

Unparalleled power gathered in Roger's fist——

First punch!

200% power!

It shot right through Humphrey's head!

Second punch!

300% power!

It smashed Humphrey's chest with incredible force!

The third punch!

400% power!

With incredible precision, he found the wriggling tumor among the pile of rotten flesh.

Blast with one punch!

Minced meat, blood, and juice were flying everywhere.

The cultists didn't even have the chance to scream before their lives were completely taken away!

…

"Your level has been raised to Lv17"

"Your attributes have been improved."

…

"Your level has been raised to Lv18"

"Your attributes have been improved."

…

"Your level has been raised to Lv19"

"Your attributes have been improved."

…

"You killed Hanfran (swamp refugee/cultist/elite)"

"You gained 30 XP"

"You have gained 37 chivalry points."

"Getting the reward for the killing order"

"You have acquired the specialty of the corpse eater from Humphran."

…

Roger's first reaction upon seeing this feat was disgust.

But after reading the instructions, his expression changed.

…

Corpse Eater (2nd-level feat): In combat, you can heal yourself by consuming the corpses of animals. For 30 minutes after successfully using this feat, you gain double the healing effect.

When not in combat, you can recover your injuries, physical strength, magicka, and energy by eating animal corpses."

…

"Dead animals?"

Roger keenly perceived the key point:

“Does cooked food count?”

He took out a piece of bacon and put it in his mouth to chew, while turning on the "Corpse Eater".

…

"You activated the specialty: Corpse Eater."

"Your body's functions are all entering a state of rapid recovery. During this period, please maintain the frequency and quantity of your meals."

…

Roger could clearly feel it.

After the bacon entered his body, it was quickly broken down into nutrients and energy and integrated into his limbs and bones.

He ate his bacon faster.

The recovery speed is also much faster.

After eating five pieces of bacon jerky, Roger's injuries disappeared and he felt full of energy.

“What a specialty!”

Roger's eyes lit up slightly.

During the battle with Humphran, he actually suffered quite a bit of injuries!

Mainly his hands - his fists, wrists, forearms and even shoulders all had varying degrees of injuries.

This is the result of overdoing it.

It is also because his physical condition is too weak to support such powerful boxing.

But with the cannibal's treatment, the fist that had just been aching slightly has now returned to normal, with only a little bit of redness that has not faded.

This is better than any healing ointment!

The downside of Corpse Eater is that it can only be used three times a day.

And the risk of using it in combat is higher.

Not to mention it's easily interrupted.

If you accidentally choke, the consequences will be disastrous.

…

Roger bent down, suppressing his nausea as he searched for the spoils in the blurry pile of flesh and blood.

This battle made him realize his own shortcomings and the power of Kaishan Fist.

Physical shortcomings are difficult to make up for for the time being, so we can only play to our strengths and avoid our weaknesses.

But he was really surprised by the power of Kaishan Fist.

The reason why Hanflan could only silently take the beatings after his resurrection was because the Kaishan Fist could constantly interrupt his movements!

I'm afraid Humphrey never expected this.

"Disarming Field" will be the last move he releases!

Just now.

Humphran tried countless times to use his skills, spells, and expertise to stop Roger.

But what greeted him was only failure after failure.

Every move of Kaishan Fist has powerful interrupting ability!

This directly led to Humphran losing his second life without being able to put up a decent resistance.

Things to know.

"Interrupt" has a very high priority in melee combat!

"This seems to be also suitable for beating mages..."

Roger felt that his painting style was increasingly targeting the wizard.

In fact, he really didn't mean that!

…

Perhaps because he was seduced out too hastily, Humphrey didn't have many good things on him.

Some scattered money.

A fist-sized piece of pure gold.

Plus the pair of "Cloud-climbing Shoes (Speed +3)" on Hanfran's feet.

That was all the loot Roger could find.

But he didn't care.

He carefully burned Humphrey's remains and only left after he had completely reduced the bones to dust did he feel at ease.

…

That night.

Civil unrest broke out in the refugees' villages.

The hidden danger caused by overdose of fire oranges completely broke out under the stimulation of Long Wei.

A large number of swamp refugees are frantically venting their spell-like energy.

Once the fire started to spread, it was out of control.

Roger could only watch coldly.

It's better to let it out than to hold it in and your head explode.

He felt sympathy for these refugees from the marshes, but he could do nothing to help them.

He found an opportunity to break into Humphrey's big house and searched it carefully all night.

It was not until dawn the next day that he left in the chaos.

What is rather strange is that.

When Roger entered, the statue of the God of Blood had disappeared.

I don’t know where he went.

But none of this has anything to do with Roger.

After plundering huge wealth and amazing loot from Humphrey's house, Roger went straight to find Cindy.

I asked the dragon priest about the time when the forbidden spell of destruction would be released.

He set out on his journey south again.

Target, Jewel City!

…

It was dusk 4 days later.

A thin mist is about to rise at the edge of the marsh.

Suddenly, a group of flying dragons broke through the fog, flew over the dense poplar and pine forests, crossed several hills of varying heights, and finally landed at an open intersection.

Roger jumped off the back of Flying Dragonmon, stretched his muscles, and then gently patted the sides of his face with his hands.

This heaven is really not a place for humans to stay.

It's too cold.

He looked at Rachel, who had also just jumped off the dragon's back.

The girl's face was rosy and there was a thin layer of frost on her eyebrows.

" The Paramount Manor is just ahead."

"That's Tiger Farm over there. There's a charcoal inn to the west of the farm. The owner is a nice guy."

"Mishasi is hungry. I'm going to go to the farm to get her some food."

She still had a stern face, spoke very quickly, and her pronunciation was not very clear.

But Roger could understand what she meant:

The two can still walk together for a while.

There is a sign near the intersection.
