Chapter 13: The End of Sublimation

The entire workshop was shrouded in the power of chaos and treachery, and the broken wings rose like snowflakes without wind, and it flew, sharp edges slicing everything it could touch, bursts of fire, and unfortunate ghosts were slashed and hit, severed limbs and flesh flew everywhere.

Lorenzo sped up, and the snowflakes hit him under the armor, causing a roar, and some of them cut through the gaps in the armor, piercing into Lorenzo's body, but it didn't stop him.

The flames are burning and boiling.

Pure white fire burst from the muzzle of Winchester's gun, and the dragon's breath sliced across the battlefield to cut the formation, separating some of the angels from the whole, and Lorenzo took the opportunity to quickly move forward and deliver heavy blows.

After going through so much, Lorenzo's strength is no longer what it used to be, he broke free from the shackles of the silver bolt, and his body was filled with the flesh and blood of angels, after obtaining the [Certificate] of [Ascension], his power has been infinitely close to Lawrence, and sometimes he feels that he may be one of the most powerful witchers in the past hundred years.

"About 5 minutes. ”

Lorenzo said indifferently.

He had been observing the nature of the angels, and there was a gap of about five minutes between the death of the first angel and the return of the first angel.

The angels moved forward in silence, the entire bottom already out of control, and the surging thunder turned the ground into a crater, and from some of the gaps, even the next layer of machinery could be seen.

The Sword Dancer didn't continue the fight, it remained on the platform, its armor firing one after another, delaying the angels' approach as much as possible.

Before, the gunfire was like a thunderstorm, and the sound of the group sounded, but now the gunfire seemed much more lonely, and there was not much strength left to fight.

It's like an ice floe on a vast ocean, the rest of the platforms have fallen, and there are only a few left, and there is no way out until they get rid of the angels.

In this moment of desolation, the violent erosion swelled with Lorenzo's fall, and he set off a huge wave like a stone falling into the sea.

Critical breakthroughs.

The black scales were like living beings, and they were entangled around Lorenzo's body like swimming snakes, covering the body with a tough armor along the surface, while fierce flames poured out from the cracks in the armor, as if a burning ghost was being deposited beneath the armor.

Lorenzo's strength didn't attract much attention from the angels, who kept their eyes on the platform, neither Lorenzo nor the others were their priority targets, and the angels attacked them only because these people were blocking their way.

The battle was about to break out, Lorenzo fell from the sky, and a sword hit an angel who had just escaped from the thunder group, and with the awakening of the secret blood and the height of the fall, the nail sword slashed down its skull, and the entire body was split vertically.

The spine was destroyed in an instant, the skull was simply shattered into several pieces, and the powerful heart was completely torn apart by the instantaneous blow.

"A ......"

Loren whispered, then drew his spiked sword and quickly leaned towards the next angel, he was as fast as he was about to fly.

He had the ability to suppress the angels, but more importantly, Lorenzo was thinking about whether to invade the angels' [gap].

Watson's warnings kept flashing to dissuade Lorenzo, but he didn't want to pass up the opportunity, even though it would have some undesirable consequences for him to do so, such as a higher priority.

If that were the case, today's battle would not have ended with William's death, and there was a good chance that these monsters would have been chasing them to the death.

"Lorenzo!"

Shrike shouted loudly, and the sword dancer fired at Lorenzo, the last of the armor firebolts, and the roaring dragon's breath pierced the vertical workshop.

Just when Lorenzo was slashing and thinking, the angels behind him had already surrounded, and several spiral nails fiercely pierced into the armor and penetrated Lorenzo's body, fortunately, it was not a fatal injury, Lorenzo slashed the angel in front of him with a sword, and turned around angrily to cut off these spiral nails together.

The roaring dragon's breath also arrived belatedly, enveloping the angels from above and down, washing them like a stream of fire.

Lorenzo took advantage of this gap to pull out the spiral spike that had broken in his body, and as if he didn't feel pain, he threw it, piercing angel after angel, pushing them out of the fire and nailing them to the ground.

Taking a deep breath, the blazing flames broke free from the shackles of their armor and covered the entire base of the workshop in an instant like a rolling tidal wave, surging along the steel, seeping into the crevices and erupting through the gaps created by the thunderbolts.

In the burning sea of fire, a hook shot out and nailed into the edge of the platform, Lorenzo grabbed the handle of the gun and was driven out of the fire by the cable, and the armor fell off one by one on the way up, and fell into the fire with a clang.

"William, think about it carefully, no matter what kind of information it is, even if it is something you have come up with now, say it quickly, we won't be able to hold out for long. ”

Lorenzo gasped and strode in, he couldn't think of any better way to deal with such an unkillable enemy, and all he could do was to defeat them again and again, but everyone knew that they would return again and soon.

"From the current operational information, it can be seen that these guys have no advanced consciousness, and are like machines that faithfully carry out a certain order, but they are not completely rigid, and when the 'mistakes' accumulate to a certain extent, they will also clumsily change the way they fight...... For example, come and kill me first. ”

Lorenzo looked out into the fire, and the angels crawled out of it again, and new thunderbolts emerged, and the dead reappeared.

William is their priority target, but when there are too many obstacles to stop them, they will also change their ways, prioritizing the destruction of obstacles, just like in the siege just now.

"Think about it, William, you're running out of time. ”

Lorenzo said without pity.

In fact, this was a cruel act for William, who had just woken up from a near-endless nightmare, and was greeted not by a peaceful kingdom of heaven, but by another nightmare and a real death.

William would not be surprised by any reaction, such as crying, such as breaking down, such as refusing to cooperate, but when he knew his fate, William did not do those ridiculous acts, he tried to cooperate with everyone, peeking into the corner of the truth under the doomed death.

"Give me some time, give me some time......"

William kept repeating, he already had several pinholes in his neck, and in order to stay awake he had injected an overdose of Florent's potion, and his whole consciousness was on the verge of collapse.

There was a wriggling rise and fall under his clothes, Merlin didn't want to lift his clothes to look underneath, and now William was just a demon who remained in human form for the time being.

"By the way, you say they're empty wills, right? The empty will is what they are, and the bodies in front of them are just shells. ”

William seemed to have thought of something, and he shouted at Lorenzo.

The gears of the stalemate slowly turned, and William thought of the answer for a moment as he combined his research on the angels.

Lorenzo nodded, clearly unable to comprehend William's excitement, and Winchester fired continuously, hitting the angels' arms and interrupting their upward climb.

"Right...... This is where the disease comes from. ”

William scratched his head as if to free his poor soul from the shell, his cheeks bloodied with sharp nails.

"What did you say?"

Lorenzo turned his head and yelled at William, he couldn't mishear William, he was talking about the source.

"The source, the source of the demons, didn't I say, the so-called demons are just a by-product of this epidemic, its true form is erosion, and these angels ......"

William's words trembled, and he saw those hallucinations again, endless starry sky, brilliant starry sky, the light approaching him, almost blinding his eyes.

"There is no physical existence, these invisible existences, they are constantly releasing erosion without any support, don't they happen to be the source of erosion?"

Blood poured out of the corners of William's eyes, his vision blurred a dark red, and he struggled with great difficulty.

"But this conflicts with your shepherd theory, how can a shepherd smell of a hungry wolf?"

Lorenzo asked rhetorically.

If the angels are the source of erosion, then why should they protect the lambs? they should attack indiscriminately, and the erosion will continue to expand......

Lorenzo stopped suddenly, he thought of something, and looked at William sharply, only to see that William was already half-kneeling in a pool of blood, he let out a painful whimper, his whole back bulged, and he could see that his clothes and flesh were torn apart, and there were faint white bones under it.

Lorenzo thought about it.

That's right, it's reasonable for a shepherd to smell like a hungry wolf, just as a witcher has demon blood flowing through his body......

Shepherds, angels, silencers, witchers......

Hungry wolves, demons, darkness beyond the fence......

Lorenzo slowly raised his hand, covered with healing wounds and blood, and his gray-blue eyes reflected all this, but he felt extremely strange at the moment.

According to William, the angels are the source of erosion, so how similar is the self with the power Gabriel?

Watson.

Watson and the angels were so similar that Lorenzo couldn't think of the difference between the two for a while, except that Watson had an individual consciousness.

Lorenzo's eyes were bloodshot, perhaps thinking too much for a moment, and it was difficult for him to think about them logically, so he could only stand there as if he had lost his soul.

"So...... the end of [Sublimation], will this be the case?"

Lorenzo whispered, looking at his hand, which was scarred and slowly fell, revealing the angel who had just crawled to the edge below.

It was an emotionless face, like a delicate mask, on which the pupils of Godless eyes were set like jewels, and the smooth mirror reflected Lorenzo's somewhat confused eyes.

Gunshots rang out.

Winchester spat out the last round of ammunition and smashed half of the angel's head at close range, but it didn't seem to let go of its hand, Lorenzo drew his spiked sword and severed its arms, and the angel with the severed arm paused for a short time before falling into the sea of fire below.

"I ...... It's almost no, that's probably my limit. ”

William staggered to his feet from the pool of blood, he had begun to lose his human form, his limbs had become elongated, and the joints had bulging bones, and he was like a demon with a slender arm, his sharp teeth piercing his lips.

"Thank you for your contribution to the purification agency. ”

Seeing that Merlin didn't say anything more, he took a step back, kept a safe distance from William, and then saluted him.

"I should have done it a long time ago. ”

William's voice was muffled.

Lorenzo turned, now William was about to lose the ability to think, the perpetual pump had squeezed out the last of his value, and he began to reload Winchester, the muzzle of the gun raised, pointed at William.

"Need a decent death?" asked Lorenzo.

William shook his head, and he let out a helpless laugh as he looked at himself reflected in the pool of blood.

"What kind of dignity am I like this?"

He looked up again and looked at it all with great nostalgia.

"But it's a big change, these things were just things that existed on the blueprints at my time......"

"That's a pity, if you can see the old Dunling now, maybe your feelings will be even more shocking. Merlin said.

"I can imagine that, after all, I was also the chief minister, didn't I?"

William said and looked ahead.

"Let it go...... What should I call it?"

Lorenzo moved out of the way and continued.

"Lorenzo Holmos, it's a pleasure to meet you, William. ”

"Me too. ”

William uttered his last words, and his throat swelled and pressed down on his trachea, leaving only a beastly roar, and the next moment he ran like a beast.

He crossed Lorenzo and plunged headlong into the fire below the workshop, the wind and blood behind him, and in a trance he felt as if he had returned to the moment of that life many years ago.

William slammed the angels, waving his claws to tear through the hypocritical flesh and blood, threatening to go mad.

But soon William's fight was over, countless spiral spikes pierced his body, and the sharp iron feathers were like a meat grinder, covering his body heavily, strangling him into a ground of minced meat.

Lorenzo and Merlin did nothing, they just stood on the edge of the high platform, quietly watching the churning of the fire, at first the roar of William, and gradually everything fell silent, only the flames continued to burn.
