Negary's body was composed entirely of germs, and under Negary's [Viral Manipulation], this body could easily perform inhuman transformations.
Because of this, fighting purely with human close combat techniques would be a waste of this body's potential.
Due to having Disasforce as a means of offense, most of the inhuman close combat techniques that Negary had created leaned more on the supportive side.
The bone blade on Negary's arm used techniques that came from the Flame world Lancher clan's [School of Light].
Although [Respiratory Art] had lost most of its supernatural abilities due to the environment of a different world, many of the applications of light from the [School of Light] was still highly inspirational.
It was from those techniques that Negary created the bone blade. Although the material seemed to be bone at first glance, the blade was actually made up of numerous mobile mirror surfaces that could reflect and focus light, utilizing it in various ways.
Furthermore, the reflective surfaces on the bone blade were razor-sharp, not losing to any weapons.
The holes on his body were actually unique biological devices that Negary had created, capable of absorbing and releasing air from the atmosphere. As air began to flow through the holes on his body, Negary rushed straight at Alkman while the bone blade on his arm gave off another gleam.
Following Negary's movements, a portion of the holes on his body absorbed air while some others released it, forming a layer of air around his body. The light from the bone blade on his hand moved, resonating at the exact frequency of the layer of air, causing Negary's figure to vanish with a flash of light, achieving invisibility.
Alkman wielded his axe and narrowed his eyes, staying on guard for any sudden gleam of light that might abruptly be shone his way, his ears slightly twitched, closely listening to his surroundings.
…
A bit further away, Fang Ze felt a chill run down his spine. In hindsight, Negary didn't use any of these techniques while he fought against Fang Ze, but still managed to defeat him easily. If no one had come to aid him, Fang Ze would have lost his life, or rather, he actually did lose his life once.
The sensation of his head being mercilessly popped open was still fresh in his mind, Fang Ze clearly understood that he had in fact died once. If not for the sound of the ticking clock back then, he wouldn't be standing here right now.
"No, that's not it, I'm just not experienced enough. As long as I have time to refine myself, I would definitely be able to exert my true strength" Fang Ze consoled himself, then checked on Negary's Disasforce inside his body. He refocused his mind on trying to expel it while also pondering on how to become stronger.
…
"Over here…" Alkman completely relied on his intuition and swung his axe.
Negary's figure flashed into existence and appeared to be cut apart by the axe before turning into a puff of air. That was only an air current that Negary purposely created, followed by refracted light in order to create a mirage of himself.
"If it's not here, then it's over there…" Alkman wasn't panicking. In a battle, the most useless emotion was panic, especially when an Authority Holder's Disasforce barrier was practically linked to their own emotional state.
A single moment of lapsed consciousness could create a gap in the Disasforce barrier, allowing the opponent's Disasforce to slip in. It didn't matter how strong his body was, if it came into direct contact with Disasforce, even the weakest Grade A Disasforce, that would surely spell his death.
Borrowing the momentum of his previous swing, Alkman's body moved and swung his axe at a different location. A bone blade appeared from the air, blocking his axe, Negary's arm then twisted in an unnatural way to grab Alkman's hand.
Disasforce barriers weren't flawless because humans were flawed. For example, breathing; while using a Disasforce barrier, even the surrounding air would be excluded, so if one wanted to breathe, the Disasforce around them would need to move around and circulate air from outside.
〖 Then, [School of Ice]! 〗as Negary observed the circulating air, the color of his right hand immediately changed.
Using the principle of the vapor compression refrigeration cycle, Negary created a cooling cycle within his own arm, composed of the compressor, condenser, expansion valve and evaporator, these four main components.
Negary's bodily fluids had also been converted into a unique type of refrigerant through his germs. Using his body as the conduit, he was constantly changing the state of matter of his bodily fluid within a closed system – from gas to liquid and liquid to gas – achieving a stable and continuous source of cold temperature, as a fridge would.
The vaporization of a huge volume of liquid inside his body instantly siphoned the heat from the surrounding air, causing the water vapor in it to turn into fragments of ice and followed Alkman's Disasforce circulation of air through his Disasforce barrier.
As the frigid ice fragments and air came into contact with Alkman's skin, the sudden neurological signal from the abrupt change in temperature broke his focus, causing his Disasforce control to briefly falter.
Negary didn't need to continue the cooling process for a very long time, as soon as Alkman showed that opening, he actively cancelled the cooling cycle and used the internal steam to power his right arm. Using the same principle as steam brakes, he fully converted thermal energy into kinetic energy.
This punch carried extreme speed, combined with Negary's Disasforce and the calculations he did to accurately attack the gap in Alkman's Disasforce barrier, it easily went through Alkman's protection and heavily struck his chest.
After an intense shockwave, extreme hot steam was slowly expelled from his right arm, causing large wounds to appear all over it. A huge amount of germs had undergone necrosis and turned into black fluid as they dripped to the ground.
However, the wounds on Negary's arms quickly proceeded to mend itself. Soon enough, [School of Ice] would be usable again, whether it was long-term freezing or an explosive burst like earlier, this technique was terrifying.
In fact, if he had kept it up, Negary might be able to utilize that extreme heat from earlier to create blood at the temperature of lava. However, high-temperature blood wouldn't bring too much benefit in the current fight.
Negary didn't try to pursue, even if Seven was a rookie fighter, she was still a Disaster King. She immediately reacted when Alkman was attacked and used a Disasforce material dagger to slash at Negary.
The 'oscillation' property of her Disasforce enabled this dagger to vibrate at an extreme frequency, an attack of this level would already be enough to cut through Negary's Disasforce barrier.
Alkman had fallen to the ground, the skin on his chest charred black as he coughed up both blood and pieces of ruptured organs. However, he simply laughed as a bright red glow manifested around his body, the axe that had fallen away returned to his hand, also glowing bright red.
This was this [Origin] ability, [Blood of War].
This ability could only be activated once he had received heavy injuries, but once activated, it would prevent his wounds from deteriorating while also putting both his body and spirit into a highly stimulated state. While in this state, as long as he killed his enemy, [Blood of War] would also rob vitality from the person he killed.
No matter how bad his injuries were, it would be completely healed by this vitality, although if the vitality he absorbed wasn't enough, he would fall into a weakened state after the ability ended.
He stood back up, laughing maniacally as he rushed towards Negary. During his long life, only combat could make him feel alive, and for the first time in many years, he had finally gotten heavily injured again to exert his full strength.
Negary tilted his body to evade Seven's high-frequency dagger, the holes on his body once again expanded and contracted to release air; under the refracted light, he slowly faded away.
Author's note: The [School of Ice] written here was originally based on DIO's ice powers. After finding that it was actually impossible for it to work that way, I tried learning about how freezers worked, which took a lot of time. What was written in the chapter is purely fictionally created through my own understanding of the principles, after all, I wasn't that great of a student, so if there were any misconceptions, readers may go ahead and correct me.
Please google vapor compression refrigeration cycle for a clearer understandingbasically, he sucked the heat from the air to vaporize the water inside his bodybasically, a piston
