Chapter 554: Evil Thing
Hatred, madness, despair, grief, humiliation, resentment......
It seemed that all the negative emotions could be seen in this eyeball, and this strange feeling made Dio frown very unpleasantly.
Even after Teresa's death, Dio never gave up hope, so he was very uninterested in this kind of eyes that seemed to have lost everything, and therefore hated everything.
"Look at what you see, if you look at it again, I'll blind you!"
The corners of his mouth twitched, and Dio said a cruel word at the eyeball very seriously. However, something happened to him that he didn't expect: the eyeball, which should not have heard what he was saying, looked away as if he was a little afraid of him after he spoke!
(What's going on?) This big eyeball...... Have a consciousness of your own? )
Thinking of this, Dio couldn't help but shudder a little.
You know, this big eye is on the fallen angel Sarap! If this big eyeball has its own consciousness, it means that those tentacles are not just parasitic on Sarap's body, but are about to turn against the guest and completely control Sarap!
At that time, the fallen angel Saraph is estimated to be gone, and replaced by this weird tentacle monster!
(What the hell is this?) )
Dio, who looked carefully at these strange tentacles on Saraphim's body, thought about it with a distressed expression. Unfortunately, Dio, who didn't know much about the mysteries, couldn't really guess the origin of these tentacles from the various characteristics they revealed.
(Forget it, whatever it is, just kill it.) )
Having made up his mind, Dio raised his lava greatsword again. But when Dio was about to cut through the gelatinous mass in one fell swoop, he accidentally noticed Sarap's face.
Most of his body has been eroded by those strange tentacles, but he had to rely on the protection of the tentacles to save his life from Dio's attack, and the eyes on the only remaining skeletal face were full of anger. And this anger does not seem to be directed at Dio, but at those tentacles.
Also, as a demigod-level fallen angel, how could Saraph be willingly controlled by these strange tentacles.
With a sigh, Dio quickly cleared out all distractions, and then swung the lava greatsword vigorously.
The lava greatsword formed by the force of lava slashed down and landed heavily on the gelatinous mass. Unlike the previous tentative attacks, this time Dio used all his strength, so the lava greatsword containing amazing power smashed open the shell of the gelatinous mass with all his strength, and planned to smash the things inside together.
But at the same time as the gelatinous mass was smashed open, the tentacles that wrapped Salafur quickly squirmed. While continuing to hold the lava greatsword, some tentacles located in the lower half of the body moved rapidly, allowing Saraph to narrowly avoid the direct attack of the lava greatsword at the last moment.
Although Salaphor's left flank and many of the tentacles on the left were reduced to ashes by the lava greatsword, Seraphim himself was unharmed, and the lost limbs were not a big problem for the extremely regenerative tentacles.
After slipping out of the gelatinous mass, Sarap, who seemed to have regained consciousness, didn't say anything nonsense to Dio, but went straight to it.
More than a dozen tentacles pierced Dio's body like spears, and the remaining tentacles quickly stretched out, covering Dio from above like a large net.
However, Dio, who was holding the lava greatsword, did not pay attention to the attacks of these tentacles, but quickly took two steps back.
The next moment, two tentacles came out of Dio's original position, and it could be said that they stabbed into the air with a fierce momentum.
"Playing underground raids in front of me, who controls earth and fire? You're thinking a little too much......"
Shaking his head with a smile, Dio plunged the lava greatsword into the earth again, and the erupting magma erupted from the cracked crevice before the tentacles were about to touch Dio, easily sweeping away the attacking tentacles.
Salaphor, who has a strong regenerative ability as a confidence, did not stop, but continued to control more than a dozen tentacles to attack Dio, and at the same time began to slowly float into the sky.
Due to the erosion of the back part, the wings behind Saraph have turned into two large tentacles with eyeballs and several forks. Although such "wings" are much more flexible than before, they are much worse for "flight", which directly leads to the current Sarafur can only float slowly.
But Sarafur didn't seem to care about this, and with a somewhat painful expression, he just controlled the tentacles to attack Dio again and again, as if he was going to drag Dio into the water alive and dead.
But the more he did this, the more cautious Dio became, for fear that he would really be entangled in some tentacle and then be turned into the ugly image of Salaphim.
That's why life is better than death.
Relying on the lava greatsword, Dio directly controlled some lava to form two lava walls in front of him, successfully blocking most of the tentacles' attacks. The rest of the fish that slipped through the net were cut off one by one by Dio himself wielding a lava sword.
After a long attack, Saraf's expression became more and more painful, and the tentacles' attacks became more and more violent. But in front of Dio, who had already been prepared, the tentacles' offensive never made a little progress.
At this moment, Dio is like a reef standing on the seashore, no matter how the waves wash, it will always remain unmoved.
Finally, the big eyeballs on Sarap's chest finally couldn't help it, and the "it" looking up at it and the salaf with his head down looked at each other, as if they were having some level of conversation.
"Good! I can help you! But you have to give me back your wings first! ”
"No! Absolutely not! If you don't agree, then don't think I'll do it! ”
"He's clearly better than me! You're already intrigued, aren't you? ”
"If you want him, sign a contract with me! You know the rules! ”
After a seemingly heated conversation, Big Eyeballs finally reached a consensus with Salaphim, and then the two forked tentacles behind Salaphim's back that replaced the wings immediately fell off, and then a pair of broken wings quickly grew.
Flapping his wings behind him, Saraf's expression seemed much better. Then he turned to look at Dio again, his eyes filled with some mixed emotions.
Although he only heard Sarafur yelling there, with that few words, Dio was still very aware that Sarafur must have bad intentions towards him.
So after glancing at Salaphim, Dio decisively flapped the wings of light and flew directly into the sky.
Although the attack surface of Sarap's tentacles will become larger when he is in the air, Dio, who has Michael's wings of light, is confident that he will show off Seraphim a few times with various aerial combat skills.
"Hehehehehe......"
"Do you really think you'll be able to escape?"
Sarafur, who laughed a few times, did not hesitate to perform teleportation continuously, and chased after Dio in a few breaths.
Such a forcible continuous use of teleportation directly caused a great burden on Sarap's body. Dio, who was not far away, could clearly see that there were many wounds on Sarap's body, making Sarafur directly turn into a bloody man.
But as soon as Sarafur stopped using the teleportation, the tentacles on his body squirmed, squirting out streams of translucent yellowish liquid towards those wounds. Moistened by the fluid, Sarap's wound healed quickly, and soon there was not even a single scar left.
Seeing this scene, Dio subconsciously narrowed his eyes.
"See? That's the power of it! As long as it's still on me, I'm immortal! ”
Seeing Dio's expression, Saraph couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"If the price of obtaining an immortal body is to become like you, then I better not want this immortal body."
Carrying the lava sword, Dio replied calmly.
"You think so too? Unfortunately, I didn't have a choice at the time......"
After hearing Dio's answer, Sarap's laughter suddenly stopped, and the expression on his face became a little hideous.
"I've been listening to your, but until now, I don't know what that thing you have."
Dior, who observed those tentacles again, said with some doubts: "I always feel that these tentacles seem to have always carried a ...... A sense of disobedience? ”
"Disobedience?"
Looking down at the tentacles on his body, Sarafur sneered and said, "That's a matter of course, because this thing is something that shouldn't exist in this world......
After hearing Sarap's words, the big eyes on his chest suddenly widened, and those tentacles, large and small, also stretched out, trying their best to express the anger of the big eyes.
Without waiting for Dio to ask, Sarafur continued: "You've heard of ...... Ancient Evils? ”
After hearing Sarap's words, Dio's face suddenly dawned.
Even Dio, who didn't know much about magic, had heard of the term "ancient evil", because it was almost the most dangerous and evil of beings.
The so-called Ancient Evil Thing is an existence that was born before the birth of the El World. Since the basic rules and initial order had not yet been established at that time, these so-called ancient evil creatures were all chaotic and unknown entities. There is no fixed body, no fixed rules of behavior, and no reason, and the ancient evil creatures in the beginning were completely indescribable monsters.
And when the world of El was born, these ancient evil creatures also gained their own forms under the influence of various orders and rules, but this change was not good for the ancient evil creatures. Some of the Elder Evils fell directly because of the drastic changes in this stage, and the surviving Elder Evils were also angry at this painful experience, so they were very hostile to the El World, hating all kinds of rules and order.
It is for this reason that the appearance of the Ancient Evil is basically very distorted and ugly, and they are rejected by the El World because of their resistance to order and rules. The sense of disobedience that Dio felt from those tentacles was precisely because of the world's rejection of this strange creature.
Because of their hatred of the El world, most of the ancient evil creatures are eager to destroy this world, and the means they use to destroy the world are to use the power of various sins to corrupt everything. The strange liquids spit out by the tentacles on Sarap's body are the embodiment of this kind of power.
It is said that every time an ancient evil creature appears, the worlds will attract a wave of catastrophe. The major planes often need to pay a great price to be able to destroy or seal the ancient evil.
“…… Wait, the power of this thing doesn't seem to be as terrifying as it seems. ”
Dio, who recalled the terrifying rumors about various ancient evil things, couldn't help but frown as he looked at the tentacles on Salaphim's body.
He didn't suspect that Sarafur was lying, but he just felt that the tentacle monster on Saraph's body was probably not a real ancient evil.
"If this guy had been an ancient evil creature, I would have been devoured altogether."
After slapping open a tentacle that tried to gagged his mouth, Sarafur sneered and said, "Actually, this guy is just the heir of an ancient evil thing, and he is still a very weak, mutated seed heir. ”
"A monster of this strength can actually be called weak? How strong would the real Ancient Evil be to be? ”
Listening to Sarafur's words, Dio's eyes couldn't help but widen.
"Don't get me wrong, the reason why this guy is so strong now is because he is constantly absorbing my power to show such a terrifying ability."
Sarafur sneered and explained, "The original guy wasn't much stronger than those evil eyes, so I thought it was a greatly mutated evil eye. ”
"Don't say it, this thing really resembles the Evil Eye."
Dio, who was holding his chin, said thoughtfully.
"At the beginning, I just kept this guy as a pet. Until one day, I was seriously wounded in a battle. When he was dying, this guy said that it could save me, and I would take the initiative to let it parasitize on me. ”
Sarafur, who slapped a tentacle away, said with hatred on his face: "If I knew at that time that the cost of surviving was so great, then I would definitely rather die!" ”
Dio was noncommittal to Salaphim's words. Although the current Sarafur regrets it, at the moment of life and death, whether he can really refuse a chance to continue to live, Dio is not very sure.
So Dio was silent.
"But now, I can finally get rid of it!"
Looking at Dio, Sarap's eyes were full of fanaticism: "It likes your body more than me!" So give your body away. ”
"I guess it's impossible."
Dio shook his head, and stared coldly at Saraphim.
