At that moment, Luke and the octopus were in a tug-of-war.
Every time he took a step forward, the tentacles of the freely changing symbiote pulled at him from all directions.
But these tentacles would be injured when Luke's katana, which contained the power of faith, cut them.
The power of faith wasn't as destructive as Elementary Annihilation, but there were too many of them, and the enemy couldn't avoid the mental impact.
Even the ancient witches were afraid of this kind of attack.
Once the impact exceeded a certain limit, the mind would completely collapse, and even if the body wasn't injured, it would turn into a vegetative state.
Luke had rarely used the power of faith in the past few years, and had already accumulated almost a million.
At the current rate of consumption, it would take him an hour or two to open up a maze in the octopus's head.
But it was unknown if the octopus's brain could withstand the attack of a million faith.
The symbiote, Scream, was immune to mental attacks, and the power of faith wasn't as lethal as the octopus's.
But its resistance to mental damage was far inferior to the giant octopus's.
Thus, after the distraction was ineffective, it and its host, the octopus, immediately changed their method of attack.
Countless tentacles turned from pulling to bombarding as they tried to "bounce" Luke away like they did at the South Pole.
The slight change in the enemy's thinking increased the pressure on Luke tenfold.
Given the strength of the octopus's body and the speed of the symbiote's transformation, it was really impossible to defend against this "spring tactic."
Last time, he had lost his katana in this way.
But because he had lost his katana last time, Luke had analyzed this tactic after the incident, and had a mature plan to deal with it.
Also, he had a shockwave to open the way this time.
This ability could suppress the symbiote's transformation, and it could also allow him to sense the octopus and Scream's attacks in advance.
If it were anyone else, they might not have the ability to detect in the beginning, and their reaction speed wouldn't be fast enough.
Even if they had the first two abilities, they wouldn't be able to withstand the octopus's barrage.
At that moment, Luke had combined shockwave, katana, and the power of faith into one to attack and defend.
Finally, the octopus couldn't take it anymore. This was the third time Luke had opened a hole in its head.
This time, he opened the hole very quickly and viciously. It felt like he was only a hundred meters away from the octopus's head.
His originally chaotic mind instantly cleared up due to his instinctive desire to live, and he reached a consensus with Scream.
Luke, who was struggling to move forward, suddenly had a bad feeling.
In the next moment, a large part of the octopus skin caved in.
Luke immediately turned around.
Under the shock wave, he could feel that a large area was condensing and accumulating power, similar to the situation when Antarctica shot him.
Then, his expression froze, and a wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "F * ck, you've really gotten smarter."
This was because the place where he had turned was also dented inwards.
He turned several times in a second, and his body was completely suspended in the air.
All the octopus skin around him sunk in and moved away from him.
Luke, however, wasn't desperate.
This was just a head-on clash. It wouldn't be that easy to die.
Bang!
The indented octopus skin finally activated.
Luke gripped his katana with both hands as he faced the wall of octopus skin that was bouncing at him.
Puchi!
Under the katana, a layer of one-meter-thick octopus skin was cut open.
Luke's face suddenly darkened.
After this layer of octopus skin that had just been cut open, a second layer of octopus skin had already popped up in front of it.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Bang! Five layers of "fish-skin bullet beds" sprang at him in a row, not giving him any space or time to dodge.
Luke: "What the f * ck …"
Bang!
Amidst the dull sound of impact, the huge armor instantly disappeared from where it was.
The outermost layer of the octopus's head suddenly softened, and a hole opened up.
Luke was sent flying. Bang!
Bang!
Two tentacles on its head took the opportunity to whip him.
Although they didn't hit the target, the intense water gave the armor even more thrust, and it sped up.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The main tentacles at the bottom followed closely and lashed out repeatedly.
Luke's armor was drowned in the raging torrent and disappeared.
The giant octopus, however, wasn't smug at all. Water surged from its jets and tentacles as it sped up to flee northeast.
This wasn't a counterattack at all; it was purely trying to get rid of Luke and escape.
It had no intention of continuing to fight. It never wanted to fight an enemy who could blow up its head at the slightest disagreement.
The will to escape was so resolute that even the Symbiotic Scream was affected, the original anger was now mixed with a faint sense of fear.
After a lifetime of fear, the battle just now became even clearer.
It had worked together with its talented host, but in the end, it had only barely managed to knock Luke out of the octopus's head.
Victory? They had been beaten up from the beginning, and hadn't even been able to resist, let alone win.
Thus, Scream helped the giant octopus quickly escape from this place.
There was another thought in the giant octopus's head, which had been transferred from the killer whale that had been hunted with Scream earlier.
That thought had been telling the giant octopus to go somewhere not far away.
This was supposed to be the killer whale's mission, but it had been eaten by the giant octopus, so it became the giant octopus's mission.
Scream didn't know what would happen if it went there, but it couldn't get rid of this thought, and had to complete it.
Even Scream itself had been affected by this thought, which was why it had lived with the giant octopus and never left.
…
On the other side, Luke finally stopped flying backward and spat out a mouthful of blood.
On the screen of the broken visor was a projection of the armor's damage: 68.4%.
Just now, the giant octopus's multi-layered trampoline had actually damaged the armor by more than 50%.
Luke wouldn't have suffered so much even if he were fighting Green Fatty. The combination of the giant octopus and Scream was simply cheating!
At this point, Luke had already prepared for the worst.
If the "final negotiation" didn't work and he didn't kill the giant octopus, he had to hurt it as much as possible, and teach Scream, the symbiote, a lesson.
No matter how stupid the giant octopus was, the symbiote still had the intelligence of a normal person.
For example, the dog head wasn't good at math, but that was because it had been infected by the Americans.
When it came to swearing, it was definitely smarter than most humans.
This meant that the symbiote's intelligence wasn't low.
As long as the giant octopus communicated with the symbiote, Luke would give them an offer that they couldn't refuse.
Wasn't this kind of friendly negotiation what he was best at?
Why did he have to negotiate at the beginning? Because peace could only exist if they fought for it.
Faced with two inhuman creatures who didn't care about human life, if he didn't show enough combat strength, they wouldn't even bother to look at him.
Thinking that, Luke rose to the surface as he looked at the giant octopus that the deep-sea prototype had latched onto.
Very quickly, he put on his backup armor and defense accessories and chased after the giant octopus again.
