Chapter 37: The Bite of the Lifeless Behemoth
The night was dark, and the emerald moon had already sunk in the west, and a mist had begun to rise.
William was lying on his back on the ground, his hollow eyes facing the sky, his body gradually cold, and he had been dead for a long time.
The mist hit.
In the gray mist, on the side of his head, a pair of bare feet with old scars appeared.
"Poor lost ......" In the mist, a man in white with a hooded robe appeared and said in a tone of pity, "I bear so much pain in my body, but I have mistaken faith in false gods and taken the wrong path." โ
He got down on one knee and picked up the Blade of Pain.
Unlike Mrs. Dafu's "Blasphemer", the Blade of Pain is a separate soul that has not dissipated with William's death. And Levi was in a hurry to go upstairs to help, ignoring the pain blade, but it was the uninvited guest who was cheap.
The strange thing is that the person who came did not put it away, but raised his head upwards and put it directly into his mouth!
Quack!
There was a crunch between his teeth, and the Blade of Pain let out a terrified roar, only to be bitten inch by inch and swallowed.
If Levi was there, I was afraid that he would sigh "chicken flavor, crunchy".
"Well, it's a painful taste, delicious, and aftertaste...... "The man licked his lips and said in an intoxicated tone, "After the dessert, it's time to get down to business." โ
He lowered his hood, revealing a pale, ugly countenance, no less terrifying than William's collapsed face at his feet.
The man had no hair, his face was covered with huge scars like a multi-legged centipede, and he also had no eyes, and at the sockets were two bloody eye sockets, and there seemed to be undried blood dripping down slowly.
โ......โ
He prayed silently, his cheeks bulging high as if they were inflated, and the moment he opened his mouth, countless dark gray ghost-faced moths rushed out of his mouth, as if his shriveled belly was a huge hive!
The ghost-faced moth swirled around William's corpse like a long river, as if searching for the scent, and after a pause on William's body, it rose again and poured into the pendulum attic.
The comer waited quietly.
A short time later, the gray moths returned, and when they returned, they brought back an old book with a bronze cover!
- The Book of Sin!
"Oh, the kid's news is true, and the Book of Sin is indeed here, and it's not in vain that I'm going to make this trip...... Perhaps, we can make an exception and accept him as a reward for believers?" The visitor casually flipped the pages of the book, and a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Although it is a canon of false gods, it also has some power of false gods, and if it is used properly, it may be able to ......"
His voice had faded into the mist, and his figure had disappeared into the mist with the swarm of gray moths, as if it had never been there in the first place.
......
On the stairs, Levi did not notice the changes outside the building, he looked stunned, like a humanoid sculpture standing in place, not daring to move at all.
He is calm on the surface, but deep in his soul, he is in chaos.
In the soul, the twisted rune went on a rampage, like a derailed meteor, and after shattering a soul fragment, countless black silk flakes were born, fixing the scattered fragments around the rune.
And it didn't stop!
The twisted runes collided back and forth, and there was a crazy posture of "killing all the way from Nantianmen to Penglai East Road", smashing more than a dozen soul fragments in a row and capturing them, which made Li Wei's pressure drop sharply.
"Pick up a life. Levi breathed a sigh of relief, but still didn't dare to let his guard down.
The runes are changing!
In the soul, the twisted rune changed its form after capturing countless fragments, turning from a lone star into a mysterious and magnificent nebula, and its form became more and more like a ......
"Spell model?" Levi lost his voice, his expression stunned.
Suddenly, he felt a heat on the back of his right hand.
Levi looked down, and the Chaos Dragon flapped its wings and roared again, and countless gray lines poured out, pounced on the nebula.
"Again, endlessly......" he wailed.
......
Levi was agitated, and consciousness was restored.
The changes in the soul seem to be extremely slow and long, but in fact, all changes are only instantaneous.
At that moment, he did not hesitate and continued to go upstairs.
Levi's expression was slightly dazed by the sound of his footsteps, and he whispered, "โThe bite of the lifeless beast, is it a summoning technique?What is the lifeless beast? As far as I know, there is no record in any of the texts......
He gained a new spell.
It's here!
"I, Hu Hansan, are back again, and I will vomit everything that I eat!" Levi muttered, then burst into the room with a loud shout.
His eyes widened suddenly, and his face looked shocked.
Inside, a deep dark river rushes like a dark bridge from the deep hell, spanning the entire room.
It had only been ten minutes since Levi's fall, but the room had changed a lot, the walls were gray and mottled, the wooden floors were rotten, the beds, tables, chairs and benches were even more dilapidated and dilapidated, and the whole room seemed to have been eroded endlessly over the years, and was on the verge of destruction.
The dark river flows silently, and it is filled with the smell of corruption, aging, decay, and ruin, which is a terrifying force that ignores elemental resistance and spell defense, and is irresistible!
And what surprised Levi even more was that the dark river did not come from the murderer, but from Michelle!
"โCorrupt Breath!" Vincent staggered over and held Levi's shoulders to barely stand still, "This is what she's best at, the spell that presses the bottom of the box." โ
"Huh?" Levi was stunned and said in a low voice, "What she is best at, isn't it Yanxi?"
He was astonished.
Michelle's angry snort and sparks splashing between his teeth made Levi feel that she was hanging from a certain pillar of "Fairy Tail".
"Battles between magicians have never been a simple level of crushing. Michelle had just finished a round of breathing, and the bulging throat slowly returned to its original state, "It is a combination of rank, equipment, mental contract, endowment, attribute restraint, etc., therefore, you must not expose your true self in front of people at will, and you can never let the enemy guess it." โ
Her face was full of tiredness, her already hoarse voice was getting drier and drier from the overload of breath, and her body was shaky, but she was barely able to hold on.
And directly in front of her, the murderer crossed his arms, maintaining a defensive posture and not retreating.
His body had turned a dark gray, apparently eroded by the "Rotten Breath", and his body was scarred.
The murderer took a step forward, as if he had shed an old layer of skin, the gray of his body crumbling and his entire body shrinking. Especially in the head, there is a flat river above the eyes, and the entire brain has completely disappeared.
Such an injury would mean that humans would have died no longer and the murderer would still be alive and well.
"You guys leave immediately, it's okay to go back to the top of dawn, it's okay to go to the Demon Hunter Guild, hurry up and call for help!" Michelle gasped slightly, waving with his back to the crowd, "I still have a few breaths left, I should be able to withstand a ......"
She was light-hearted, but the three of them were not stupid, and anyone could see that she had only one breath left at most.
"Don't go yet!" Seeing that a few people didn't move, Michelle urged sharply, "Want to die like this together?"
"Let's go!" Vincent gritted his teeth and pulled Blaise and Levi away, ready to drag them away.
He knew the current situation, he and Blaise had little magic left, Levi had a broken left hand, and the situation was not much better, and the only use of staying here was to die with Michelle.
He also knew that Michelle would never be able to support the arrival of rescue.
Vincent was angry and powerless, his judgment was reasonable, and the intense guilt made him almost crazy!
He pulled down, but didn't pull Levi.
"Levi, what are you doing?" Vincent tugged again, and said sharply, "Listen to her, let's go quickly!"
"No, we don't have a chance to win. Levi stared at the murderer with a focused expression and sharp eyes, "I also have a little bit of a means to press the bottom of the box, maybe I can turn the tide of the battle......"
"Levi, now is not the time to be a hero!" Vincent's eyes were red, and tears were rolling in his eyes, "We can't help if we stay, live, live to have a chance for revenge!"
"Yes. Blaise clenched his fists, he clenched them so tightly that streaks of blood appeared in his palms, "I figured it out, heroism without strength is meaningless!
"I'm calm, it's not a battle of wills......" Levi shook his head, his right palm raised, and the only remaining magic power between his fingers flowed, forming a deep, lofty, and vast soul fluctuation.
He took a deep breath and said in his heart, "โthe bite of the lifeless beast!"
Call~~
Michelle didn't have time to scold them, her throat thickened again, and a mouthful of corrupt breath erupted, and the dark stream surged.
But this time, the scale and power of the Corrupt Breath was nowhere near as good as the previous ones, and the murderer raised his arms to resist the Breath, and even took a slow step, approaching Michelle step by step.
The heavy footsteps were like the sound of a death knell.
"Hurry up!" Seeing that Michelle's situation was getting more and more critical, Vincent turned his mind a few times, and said with the last trace of hope, "No matter what spell you have, hurry up!"
"It's done!" Levi said slowly, half-kneeling on the ground.
"Done, what's it?" Vincent looked around blankly, anticipation long gone, disappointment draining him of the last of his strength and disheartened.
At this moment, he suddenly noticed that Blaise was staring blankly ahead, staring behind the murderer, with a look of horror and fear.
"That's ......," Vincent's breath froze.
Behind the murderer, a row of fence-like cross-lines appeared in the air, transparent, as if distorted by the void, and extremely difficult to detect unless you looked closely. In an instant, arched textures appeared on the cross-patterned road, making the formless silhouette more and more clear, as if two rows were close together...... Tooth?
In terms of morphology, the two rows of teeth are not the sharp teeth of carnivores, but neatly arranged square molars, similar to humans, although not sharp, the degree of weirdness is a hundred times higher, making the scalp tingle!
The outline of the two rows of teeth floated in the void, without any other facial features or color, and it silently approached the back of the murderer, the two rows of teeth parting more and more, as if a large mouth was slowly opening.
Everyone's breath froze.
Vincent's face was glazed, his body twitched violently, he seemed to be deprived of his voice, his mouth opened and closed, but he could not say anything.
Michelle's expression was shocked and frightened, in her perspective, the two rows of teeth seemed to bite at herself, Rao was ready to die, and she also felt an inexplicable chill.
Click!
The sound of teeth clenching sounded.
Two halves of the forearms fell to the ground, and then, the body of the murderer, who had disappeared all above the abdomen, shook, and the half body fell backwards to the ground. No matter how vigorous and weird his vitality was, it was impossible for him to be reborn with such a small remnant.
At this time, the group finally determined that it was not just two rows of teeth, but a real invisible creature!
The crisp sound of chewing echoed throughout the room, creepy, and finally, with the sound of contented swallowing, the outline of the two rows of teeth disappeared without a trace.
"I'm going to have nightmares tonight......" Blaise shook his head and whispered.
"Levi, you can't be a member of the heretics too, are you, for example, the disciple of the 'Abyss Eternals'?" Michelle, who had survived the catastrophe, sat down on the ground and turned to Levi, "In terms of killing methods, you are much more weird than a murderer......
"Isn't this what you taught, senior sister?" Levi learned, scratched his head, and showed a sincere smile, "Never let the enemy guess." โ
