At this moment, Danny also realized something was amiss. He quickly maneuvered the blood sword, attempting to block David's attack. However, David was an esper with spatial abilities, and his speed had surpassed everyone.

Just as Danny drew the blood sword to defend himself, David's Blade of Space had already sliced through his clothing and made contact with his skin.

"Crack!" An instant sound of rupture echoed as David's strike cut a gaping wound in Danny's chest. Blood immediately spurted out.

Danny's body trembled slightly as he suppressed the intense pain, trying to counterattack. However, the three flying swords hovered above him, ready to strike at any moment David detected a lapse in his focus.

Meanwhile, David was well aware of Danny's formidable regenerative abilities. He knew he needed to disable Danny's ability to fight before the wounds healed. Without hesitation, David summoned a metal short blade from his waist with his left hand, slashing at Danny's back. "Crack!" The additional critical hit rate of the dual blades caused Danny's two wounds to widen significantly.

After a series of strikes, David leaped back, creating distance between him and Danny. The three flying swords returned to his side at his command, and Rainbow, having recovered, circled back into position.

"Damn it!" Danny's face contorted with anger as he observed the wounds on his body. However, he remained unfazed, confident in his powerful regenerative abilities. He watched the wounds slowly healing, his expression icy and focused as he fixed his gaze on David.

Observing this, a frown creased David's forehead. At this rate, he realized he wouldn't be able to inflict any lethal damage on Danny before the wounds healed. He needed a way to incapacitate Danny before the wounds could fully regenerate. His gaze inadvertently turned towards the corpse of the burly man he had defeated earlier.

Suddenly, the system's voice resounded in his ears.

[Ding! Host has detected the kill of the first wasteland esper!]

[Please choose one of the following three rewards!]



Hearing the system's voice, David couldn't help but inwardly curse the unscrupulous system. So now it decides to offer rewards? However, upon reflection, the delay might have been due to entering the Wasteland World.

He continued listening to the system's announcements.

[Option One: Increase the critical hit rate of the Blade of Space and the metal short blade to forty percent!]

[Option Two: Extend the range of the Corrosion ability attack to ten meters!]

[Option Three: Acquire a new ability - Bloodthirsty Injury!]

Listening to the three options provided by the system, David began to think rapidly. Options one and two were enhancements to his existing abilities, while only option three introduced a new ability. David knew the first two options could be obtained by killing zombies in daily encounters, making it unnecessary to waste this unique opportunity. Thus, he focused his attention on option three - the new ability, Bloodthirsty Injury.

The system's explanation followed shortly after.

[Bloodthirsty Injury: Reduces the effectiveness of the opponent's healing, especially useful against enemies with strong self-healing capabilities.]

[Upon being inflicted with Bloodthirsty Injury, the enemy's wounds will worsen by fifteen percent.]

[This ability automatically activates when the host initiates an attack!]

"Exactly!" Listening to the system's explanation, David nodded approvingly to himself. Wasn't this exactly what he needed right now?

Danny's current healing ability was, in a way, a disguised form of treatment. If subjected to the Bloodthirsty Wound, it would significantly reduce his wound healing capacity, thereby giving David more opportunities to attack.

"I choose option three!" Without hesitation, David mentally made his decision.

[Host's choice confirmed!]

[Congratulations, host, on acquiring the new ability,Bloodthirsty Wound!]

As the system's voice faded, David felt a surge of new power coursing through his body. It was indeed the power of the Bloodthirsty Wound. At that moment, David looked up at Danny, his expression calm and undisturbed.

Meanwhile, Danny had just finished healing his wounds, lifting his head to face David. He knew that he and David were evenly matched in terms of level, and their strengths were relatively balanced. Danny's reliance was on his powerful physical healing ability.

In this state, as long as David launched any attack that caused damage, Danny could quickly restore himself to full strength, effectively recovering his combat ability. Using this ability, Danny aimed to wear down David's stamina. Eventually, he planned to deal a lethal blow to David, fulfilling his ultimate objective. With these thoughts in mind, Danny couldn't help but smile.

"Regardless of the situation, you can't harm me. That's where my superiority lies!" Danny's words were a veiled boast about his healing ability. David, however, simply chuckled dismissively. If Danny were to discover that David now possessed the Bloodthirsty Wound ability, David wondered what Danny's expression would be like.

With a slight nod towards Danny, David said, "Very well, then let me show you how different I truly am."n0VElusb.c0m

In the blink of an eye, David opened a spatial portal, disappearing from his original position and reappearing right in front of Danny. The Spatial Blade descended from above, slashing down towards Danny's chest once more.

Seeing David attempt the same tactic, Danny didn't even bother to take evasive action. He wanted to see what other tricks David had up his sleeve. No matter what, he believed that David couldn't breach his healing ability.

This was a technique Danny had learned from battling an insectoid leader during his previous visits to the wasteland. However, sometimes ignorance led to a lack of fear, while arrogance often led to one's downfall.

David's attack wasn't forceful, yet the Spatial Blade effortlessly cut through Danny's chest, revealing bone beneath the skin. After completing the maneuver, David looked at him and chuckled.

Danny, though wounded, continued to wear an unconcerned expression. He even seemed slightly pleased as he displayed the cut he had allowed David to make.

"I told you, your attacks are useless against me. In less than thirty seconds, I can completely heal these wounds. I advise you not to struggle. If you surrender, perhaps I'll spare your life," Danny said calmly, observing his exposed bones and the faint rhythm of his beating heart.

"Is that so? Are you still as arrogant as ever?" David shook his head, a touch of sympathy in his expression.

Danny was momentarily taken aback, unsure of what David meant. However, given that he believed David was about to become a corpse, he paid little heed to the implied meaning. Glancing at his injuries, Danny activated his healing ability in silence. He firmly believed that, in this state, no one could kill him. Yet, the next moment, he froze in place. Despite activating his healing ability, his wounds showed no sign of improvement. In fact, they continued to expand rapidly
