Chapter 136: A More Important Goal
Why did "White Wing" do this?
The answer is actually not difficult to guess at all, because compared to destroying the Clone team, he has a more important goal - to get Shinji.
After several rounds of confrontations, each round of "Bai Yigong"'s perception of Shinji changed by one point.
The first round of sneak attacks hit "White Feather" and other dependents, and "White Wing Gong" only thought that this person was a fool. Knowing his existence, having such a good concealment skill, and carrying the precious armament to restrain the Dead Apostles, but instead of running away, he ran under his nose to make trouble, isn't this deliberately sent to the door to find death?
In the second round, he twice blocked his assault to buy time for his companions' retreat. "White Wing Gong" raised his evaluation a little, a strong fool. If the strength is not strong, it is impossible to block yourself, as for stupidity - in this world with a huge gap in combat power, anyone or force knows the preciousness of high-end combat power. If he was in Shinji's position, he would definitely abandon the Clone team, protect himself, and find a chance to take revenge after escaping.
From this time on, "White Wing Gong" came up with the idea of turning him into his dependent.
In the third round, in a frontal battle, Shinji used a new magic weapon to break the white light of the "White Wing Gong", and destroyed the dependents who were struggling beside him. From that moment on, "White Wing Gong" changed his goal, as long as he could get the person in front of him, the Clone team would leave.
With the racial advantage of the Dead Apostles, coupled with this man's combat power and all kinds of wonderful weapons, a powerful Dead Apostle comparable to the Twenty-Seven Ancestors will soon be born, and more importantly, this Dead Apostle will belong directly to himself. With his help, "White Wing" will be able to gain the upper hand in the battle with his old rival Elt Luki, and even go one step further to become a veritable King of the Dead Apostles.
After that, the fourth round of overwhelming people, and now the fifth round of guerrilla, are all various attempts made by "White Wing Gong" in order to achieve their goals. He wants to defeat Shinji in every way, deprive him of the ability to resist, and then suck his blood and turn him into his own sibling.
The night is still very long, and "Bai Yi Gong" has enough patience to accompany Shinji to slowly consume. Compared to consumption, human beings are by no means comparable to Dead Apostles, whether it is longevity or endurance.
As time passed, the highly concentrated magic in his body became less and less, and the brilliance of the spell closest to his right wrist faded, and finally after a burst of light, it completely dimmed, leaving only a faint scar.
At the same time, the violent magic fluctuations on Shinji's body also withered, and even Shinji's movements became slow.
To be on the safe side, "White Wing Gong" did not rush to change his tactics, but continued to observe and confirm that Shinji's strengthened state was indeed over, and then ended the fight, like a tiger descending the mountain, and a goshawk fighting a rabbit launched a frontal offensive.
Without the strengthening of the spell, how dare Shinji collide head-on with the "White Wing Gong", and immediately drive the flying shoes and flee in all directions.
The ambitious King of the Apostles was not in a hurry, just hanging behind Shinji unhurriedly, pulling out a few invisible slashes from time to time, which could not only consume Shinji's physical strength and magic power, but also control the escape direction of his prey.
No matter how dilapidated, the town is still a human settlement, with many obstacles such as houses and walls. Just now, "White Wing Gong" relied on these obstacles to drain his opponent's strength, and now he didn't want his opponent to use these obstacles in turn.
Under the constant persecution of the "White Wing Gong", Shinji soon crossed the entire town and came to the unobstructed hilly plains outside the town.
At this point, "White Wing Gong" can finally use his strength and skills without worrying about the influence of the terrain.
Above the wilderness, the ancient Dead Apostles, who were not at all like vampires, were suspended in the air, and the hazy moonlight cast dreamlike light and shadow on the ground through its pure white wings.
The light and shadow are constantly tumbling and changing, as if something is brewing.
The pure white feathers break away from their wings and fall into a wonderful world of light and shadow.
In an instant, light and shadow are separated from the concept of formlessness, transformed from the void into the entity, as if given life.
No, they are just given life.
The things that come out of light and shadow are indeed living beings, and the number is about twenty or so. Some of them can be named, and more are strange monsters that can't be named, and don't even conform to the laws of biological evolution.
Although these forms are different, they all share the same trait - they are white except for the eyes, which is the symbol of the "White Winged Duke" Tefanm Ottenroche, and these monsters are his demons.
The Dead Apostle's Demons and the Magician's Demons are similar but different, the similarity refers to the purpose and function, and the difference is reflected in the method of production.
Vampirism doesn't just mean that creatures get energy from food, but there are deeper reasons. The Dead Apostles were originally just human bodies, and that kind of flesh was too reluctant to die of old age. The genetic factors of their flesh, or the container itself, to be precise, begin to deteriorate dramatically the moment they become vampires. To make up for this, it is necessary to constantly suck the blood of others, and maintain the stability of one's own body by sucking other people's genetic information into one's own body.
For some of the Dead Apostles who have survived for a long time, ordinary human genetics are no longer suitable for repairing the flesh. Because the basic ability of human animality is very poor, if it is simply used to repair the body, it is more efficient to absorb beasts, demonic beasts, and phantom beasts. For the Dead Apostles who sucked the beast into their body, if necessary, the beast can be restored to its original form, such as now, "White Winged Gong" restores a group of demons with a feather and his own strength.
"Go ahead. With the master's order, the demons scattered in all directions.
One of the wolf-type demon appeared in Shinji's line of sight, who fired a silver bullet that killed him.
But it didn't take long for Shinji to become aware of the existence of another bird-type demon, and also knew Otten Roche's thoughts—the king of the dead apostles regarded himself as his most important prey.
This discovery left Shinji with mixed feelings. Happily, since they have taken themselves as prey, the Clone team is mostly safe on their side. Worryingly, it becomes more difficult to get out.
If you don't have these demons roaming around, Shinji can easily get out by finding a place where no one is and using the stealth effect of Hades' cloak to avoid the search of "White Wing Gong".
But not now, no matter how clever the stealth is, it is impossible to erase all traces in an instant, and with the demon staring, "White Wing Gong" can easily find out the existence of Shinji.
Don't forget, these demons are separated from the body of the "White Wing Gong", and their combat power may not be strong enough, but they are one heart and soul with their master, equal to their master's ears, eyes, hands and brothers.
Gotta find a way to get rid of these pesky eyes - but not now, at least in another 2 hours.
Shinji turned his head to look at the striking white light source in the darkness, and continued to flee to the west.
