Chapter Twenty-Four: A Woman Without Eyes
The creature that had once been True Dina—let's call her True Dina—the nameless beast that opened its mouth, jagged fangs snapping back and forth and roaring. Sonic waves erupted from her mouth and struck the wormmen. Not only the sonic attack, but also the flickering of red light, and then, the insect was blown away in place, and the cloak on its body burned with the light of fire.
Zhendina's roar, with a heat wave of high temperatures, blew the insects into the air. The wormman had flames on his body, but it didn't burn completely, only the cloak burned with fire. It landed in the air, stabilized its body, and stuck its staff on the ground, the mouthparts of its face screamed, and its compound eyes squirmed and trembled.
Two completely different beasts, howling to demonstrate and declare war. When the sound faded away, both sides were ready.
The wormman pulled out his staff and aimed the tip with the Rubik's cube at Zhendina.
Zhendina's mouth and throat still had the residual warmth and light of a burning firewood, and she was like a humanoid dragon that spat out a wave of heat and was now slowly cooling down. In the face of the hostile insect people, her limbs fell to the ground, and she became a crawling state - compared to the insect people who were almost inhuman, Zhendina now looked more like a four-legged crawling beast. Her long, slender claws, as sharp as a scimitar, gripped the ground, claws clasped into the gravel and dirt beneath her feet, and she was ready to go.
She crawled on the ground, her head raised, looking directly at the insect man in front of her, and she could no longer see Jessica left behind, her fiery red eyes shining brighter than gems, and even hotter.
Zhendina didn't move right away, as if she was waiting for something—and the worm man soon knew. The swarm of insects he controlled with his staff gathered again, as if it were endless, and once again surrounded Zhendina in a very large area. At this time, Zhendina's slender body was shaking. The bundles of veins in her body were beating at an exaggerated frequency, and each vein was dancing wildly and heart-poundingly, no matter what the creature was, it would be abnormal for the veins to pulsate at this level—if Zhendina was a normal creature by now. There are no normal creatures, and in the place of the heart is a dead orb, which replaces the heart in its work.
Jindina let out a roar, sounding painful. Soon, the cause of her pain manifested itself in her body. On her back, where her muscles bulged, two large bags of flesh protruded, making her look like a hunchback. At the front of the two blood packets, a sharp object protruded, and then tore the flesh and blood, carrying a blood-red liquid into the body. The sound of tearing flesh resounded in this space, the sound of liquid and flesh mixed together, and the roar of Zhendina formed a bloody symphony.
Finally, what grows out of the back of the Gendina is a pair of wings...... If that's what you can call wings. On the wings behind Gendina, between the ten wing bones made of twenty curved iron bones, there was no membrane that a flying creature should have, only spiky bones flickering in the air. At the junction of each bone, a mixture of blood red glued together, blood vessels wriggling on it, looked less like the flesh and blood of Zhendina's body, more like another creature attached and parasitic outside of her body, and this creature controlled the pair behind her that was not wings at all, but a mixture of bone and iron.
Behind Zhendina were a pair of open palms that grew out of her back rather than wings. And these hands, like her forelimbs, have curved, sharp edges, and the front ends are like iron hooks, and if they fall on the flesh and blood, they will probably easily hook the fireworks formed by the flesh.
When the things on her back grew, Zhendina stopped howling and quieted down. Then, he jumped up and picked up a piece of rubble from the ground, leaving a deep pit in his place, and flew on the head of the insect man. Her claws were still hooking large pieces of rubble, and they landed on the insect man's head. Rather than flying in the air, the pair of palm-shaped wings on her back looked like just decoration.
The insect man's reaction was not slow, and the staff stabbed diagonally upward, aiming at the head of Zhendina. Zhendina didn't seem to care at all about the staff stabbing at her, so she let it stab her face in the face. When the tip of the staff was only a finger away from her eyes, she opened her fang-filled mouth and bit the tip. The bite, on the tip of her fangs and staff, was flickering with blue firelight.
Zhendina did what the worm had done, biting the weapon with her mouth. If anything, it was the fangs of the Zhendina, more neat, to be clenched together at the sharp tip of the staff.
After biting the staff, Zhendina's body adjusted her posture in the air, and then the whole person pressed against the front of the staff. Her hands and feet grasped the middle of the staff, and her posture was that of a beast.
Now in this form, the weight of the True Dina, just the pair of wings, is not comparable to that of a light female knight like Jessica. She pressed against the tip of the staff, and before the worm could respond, the wings on her back were already flapping, and then the ten sharp wing tailbones landed on the wormman's body. And her mouth, while biting the staff, was slowly breathing deeply, and the energy overflowing from the blue Rubik's Cube formed a mist-like channel that was sucked into her mouth.
The blood that flowed through her veins was turning blue......
On the other side, Lulunaka, who had been missing for a while, stood in front of a cage with a lantern. It was a disgusting place, the bones were locked to the torture instruments of the corpses, the separated bones were scattered everywhere, none of them were intact. There were traces on those bones that would make one imagine how cruel and bloody they had been subjected.
But Lulunaka didn't care about everything around her, and she had a very emotional smile on her face, looking at the people in the cage who were in the company of the pile of bones.
It was a woman in a tattered robe, her eyes gouged out, and only two hollows remained.
"Is it a coincidence or fate to meet in such a place?" Lulunaka leaned closer to the lantern and saw that the woman's eyes were still covered with dried blood, which had turned into two blood streaks, splitting her face into three pieces.
"To be treated so roughly, you should be dead...... I don't think it's going to be that simple, right?" Lulunaka laughed.
The woman, who had no eyes, moved slightly.
