Volume 1 Eternal Fire Chapter 29 The Rotten Body
"Don't worry, I'm not going to die. Apocalypse looked at the girl and felt a little distressed and a little funny, in order to cheer her up, Apocalypse said, "Gushan is very strong, and I basically didn't get hurt when he was bombed, but when he was bombed and dying, I took the opportunity to absorb his power, do you want to know what it is?"
Vivi twitched and nodded.
Apocalypse took two steps back and let out a low sigh, and in an instant, his body was covered with a layer of bone armor.
"Wow, isn't this what Bone Mountain is capable of, then you won't need armor in the future!" Vivi exclaimed in surprise.
"That's right, I don't need to wear armor in the future, and I can use the power of the dragon's blood of the blood servant on the battlefield to continuously regenerate bone armor. β
At this time, the physician Alan hurriedly ran to find the apocalypse and said, "Lord Longinus, we have confirmed that Izar was only temporarily in a coma due to the impact, and there is no major problem, but ...... Isaac's chieftain needs your help there. β
Apocalypse is helpless with the title of "adult", and humans always like to regard the strong as superior. He followed Eren to Isaac's side, and saw this big man lying on the ground on all sides, with bone spurs nailed to his hands and feet, and the apocalypse immediately understood, the earth and stones in this area were quite tight and thick, and the bone spurs shot by Coringas were stuck in it, and it was really difficult for ordinary people to pull them out, and if the movement was too big, they were afraid of hurting Isaac.
When others saw the Apocalypse coming, they all felt that it must be no problem, they witnessed his heroic performance on the battlefield, overcoming the two captains and being able to move around vigorously at this time, and the Apocalypse at this moment was the embodiment of victory in the eyes of everyone.
Not surprisingly, Apocalypse easily pulled out the four bone spurs, although Isaac grinned in pain, but this tough guy still didn't scream, and Alan immediately beckoned two people to carry Isaac to the medical tent for emergency treatment.
Apocalypse found a quiet place to comprehend the power he had just gained.
Unlike the mid-level blood servants that were absorbed in the past, the two captains- The power brought by the high-level blood servant is clearly directed, for example, the bone mountain gave the apocalypse the ability to summon the bone armor, originally when this ability was in the hands of the bone mountain, whenever the bone armor was destroyed, it would take a long time to be repaired, but the apocalypse was different, the bone armor he felt could be quickly repaired by absorbing the power of the dragon's blood, which seemed to be a small change, but in fact, the impact was very large, you must know that the defense ability of the bone armor was not higher than the steel armor of the same thickness, but the advantage was that it was lighter, and it could be summoned when necessary, but now, as long as the bone armor of the apocalypse was not destroyed in an instant, he can recover in a short period of time by absorbing a large amount of the dragon blood power of the low-level blood servant, so that he can form an infinite defense.
In addition, Bone Mountain does not have enough strength to form a demon's hand, and Apocalypse did, this ability has greatly increased his combat power in hand-to-hand combat, according to estimates, the demon's hand can cause a power equivalent to the explosion of a type two bomb with one punch, and it is impossible for anyone below the commander to resist a blow head-on, which means that the apocalypse can kill the commander in seconds without carrying a weapon.
And Coringas's ability is relatively simple, that is, a large increase in speed, but the quantitative change of this improvement has caused a qualitative change, and an opponent who can't be touched is often the most devastating to the enemy, as for the ability to shoot bone spurs, it is relatively chicken, the damage is not high and consumes physical strength, and the deterrent effect is far greater than the actual effect.
Before I knew it, after a long time, the battlefield had been cleaned, and the apocalypse finally came back to his senses and walked to the center of the position, where Izar was reporting the results to Isaac, who was leaning on the bunker: "...... There are more than a thousand casualties among the Bloodservants, although a large part of them were burned by Colingas himself, and a few others have escaped and are missing, and our existence is no longer a secret, or in a few days the Tallon region will know all about it, oh, far away, cough, a large number of firearms have been seized, including seven hundred and sixty-two intact assault rifles, one thousand and forty pistols, and a large number of bombs and prisms, let's send it!
Isaac's face was still solemn when he heard this, which made Izar's smile gradually freeze, and the leader of the resistance group said in a deep voice: "Izar, you tell me, how are our own casualties?"
Izar opened his mouth, but finally picked up the list in his hand and read: "One hundred and eighty-eight dead, seventy-two seriously wounded, and almost all of the rest are lightly wounded...... But this was already a great victory, and the Blood Guards under the Blood Burning Fortress were almost completely killed and wounded! andβ"
"Enough. Isaac buried his face in his two big hands and muttered, "Can life be counted by addition and subtraction?
Then Apocalypse saw that the strong man was crying silently, he walked over, motioned for Izal to go first, sat down next to Isaac, and patted him on the shoulder: "How old are you this year?"
"Me?" Isaac said with a wry smile as he wiped his tears, "who knows, twenty-six or twenty-seven." β
"I've met a bunch of ruffians in Blackmane, they're about your age, you're ...... by comparison"
"Longinus, don't say it. Isaac interrupted Apocalypse in a rare way, "I have always respected you, and even worshipped you, but can you answer me a question, is our sacrifice really meaningful? Eventually, we will still fall at the feet of Gustavo, and even you will have to use that suicidal act to defeat a captain, so how can you defeat the Great Lord? Even if you are lucky enough to win, how can you face those dragons that are said to be bigger than the mountains? I don't want to see anyone die again." β
Apocalypse shook his head: "You are wrong, Isaac, in the past six hundred years, how many heroes have died in the resistance struggle, do you know what they left behind?"
"Heh, they didn't leave anything behind, except for the after-dinner conversation of the mongrels. Isaac was disheartened.
"No, they have left an eternal memory, and it is precisely because of their sacrifices again and again that the surviving people can see the spark in the darkness, so that our blood will not cool in the fall of civilization, and if we sink because of fear, regret, and grief, their sacrifice will really become meaningless. β
Apocalypse stood up, stroked Isaac's hair like an elder, and said as softly as possible, "You can cry today, but when the sky lights up again, it is your duty to straighten your spine and lead these people who believe in you to continue to chase the light...... And it is my duty to clear the way for you. With that, Apocalypse turned to leave.
"Longinus!" Isaac called out, "who the hell are you?"
"I don't belong to this era, I don't belong to the future of humanity, I'm just a rotten body from the past to blaze a trail for humanity, you can call me - the apocalypse. β
Isaac's eyes widened, tears welling up in his eyes, for the hope of humanity had already come.
