XXV. Zeatic believers

The Mother of Spiders swung her blade-like forelimbs, and the Duchess was struck by it, slamming into a wall, distorting it. It lunged forward, raising its forelimbs in another onslaught, and I saw the metal floor cut through her forelimbs, leaving many deep marks. If it continues to attack, I'm afraid that even Yune will be cut into a scrap of scrap metal by her.

The Duchess dodged a stormy onslaught, and she jumped unscathed towards the Mother of Spiders. The latter opened its mouth and spewed out a cloud of cobwebs, but the Duchess slashed them open in an instant, and then her golden claws pierced the flesh of the Mother of Spiders, who had a hard skin that Vasilissa tore like tissue paper.

The Mother of Spiders let out a miserable wail, and in this moment, the Duchess parted her arms to the sides, and the wound expanded, and the Mother of Spiders was severely wounded in the chest, and the blood was like a tide. The Duchess flipped over and landed on top of the Mother of Spiders, her claws pressing down on her scalp.

The duchess said, "Give you a chance at last, if not, I can dig out your brain at any time." ”

Mother Spider said: "I give up, hiss~, I admit defeat, hiss~~, I will remove all obstacles, and you will get what you want." ”

Vasilisa nodded, but didn't get off the top of the spider's head. Mother Spider spat out a small piece of metal from her mouth and placed it in the last prison door. There was a long, heavy grunt from the door.

It opens the magic box.

A square room, unfurnished, almost filled with cobwebs. In the middle of the room is a cocoon sac, suspended in mid-air by cobwebs.

Vasilissa: "What is it?" ”

Mother Spider: "My spider silk can hypnotize him, make him fall asleep without waking up." But this spider silk is carefully blended by me, and if it is slightly missing, it will fail. ”

Vasilisa said: "Professor Longinus is really thoughtful. Her red eyes set her gaze on us, and although it was only for a short moment, it left a bloody afterimage in the air.

Lamia took off her gas mask and shouted, "Release these webs and let us go!" ”

Mother Spider heard our call and wanted to turn back, but was stopped by Vasilisa, who said, "Don't be busy for a while, you can release this prisoner for me first." ”

Mother Spider: "And then?" Will you set me free? ”

"I swear by my mother's honor that I will," Vasilissa said. ”

The mother loosened a piece of silk, the entire web disintegrated, the cocoon sac fell off layer by layer, and a man revealed his outline.

The man was chestnut-skinned, with long black hair, and a beard that covered his entire lips and entire chin, all the way down to his chest. Even after a hundred years of slumber, his muscles are still strong and developed, he is about 1.9 meters tall, and his body is well-proportioned and perfectly proportioned, like an ancient Greek demigod sculpture.

There was nothing strange about him, he was too mediocre compared to the precautions on the road ahead. But I can't forget the traps along the way, the numerous warnings. I watched from afar as this cocoon came out.... Creatures instinctively feel fear, just as humans fear the night, fear death, that is the nature of human beings engraved in their blood.

Night and death, fish and waterless villages.

I fell into a cave of ice, fear permeating all my veins as I shouted, turned around and shot at the webs, draining a magazine bullet and replacing it with Excalibur. At this time, my marksmanship was like a divine aid, and six sword bullets hit the same place, piercing the cobweb, and I snatched Mirse's sword, and finally split a hole in the cobweb.

I hurriedly gestured for Lamia to leave. Misse suddenly awoke and begged: "Don't leave it behind... Duke. ”

Lamia said, "Swap into Excalibur bullets and prepare to support Vasilissa." ”

I also took off my mask and screamed eagerly, "Are you crazy? It was a battle between two monsters, to whom we were just worms, so why should we get involved? ”

Lamia said, "The Sword and Shield Society is currently an ally, and we can't let it go, Sammy, Betty, you stay here, and you are ready to withdraw at any time." She took aim with her gun in her hand and walked briskly forward.

What can I do? I followed her, and she smiled at me, and I thought, "Die or die, at least be with her." ”

Vasilisa jumped to the ground, and the spider mother slipped away like a death row prisoner who had successfully escaped from prison.

The Duchess didn't care, her size changed again, she became quite taller, her body more toned, and her wolfdog-like face became more and more vicious. She is a plague that has existed on Earth for thousands of years, the top predator, the terrifying banshee of legend, and learned the martial arts of battle and the wisdom of killing in the Sword and Shield Society, compared to her, the prisoner codenamed Cain seems less terrifying.

He was as weak as a baby.

The duchess threw herself at the prisoner, and before I blinked, she stood still, and when I blinked, she had bitten the prisoner's neck. She burst out as fast as a sniper rifle in an instant.

She failed to bite, and the prisoner grabbed her by the neck and lifted her up with one arm. The Duchess let out a low canine crook, and she grabbed a paw, and the prisoner's head was tilted back, and a shallow mark appeared on his face. The duchess wrenched the prisoner's palm, and when she fell, she leaped backwards like a spring.

She avoided him, the ancient banshee hiding from the newborn baby.

The prisoner spoke, it was an ancient language, and he slurred his speech, word by word, and then he began to repeat a word, a name, and when he pronounced it, his expression was extremely painful.

β€œCaine! Caine!”

Lamia said, "Cain." ”

Vasilisa suddenly screamed, and the cry was like a plane whistling through the sky, tearing the air apart and shaking the sky. Her hair stood on end, her red eyes were like a lone star in the dark, and her golden claws were like steel flowing from a furnace.

She shouted, "I can destroy an army!" I can crush an entire pantry division! I can tear down tall buildings with my bare hands! I can send hordes of demons back to hell! I am the wreck of the world, and I am the strongest predator! How can you contend with me? ”

She turned into a black lightning bolt and disappeared with the prisoner. The whole cube kept vibrating, and the metal plate suddenly twisted in multiple places, bulging here and collapsing there, which was the destruction caused by the struggle between the two of them, and after a minute, the metal plate broke in two, and then fell apart.

The duchess and the prisoner appeared together, and when the two of them landed, they made a large depression in the floor and became a large circular pit. The duchess kept slashing her claws at the prisoner, who resisted empty-handed, and the duchess's attacks seemed mostly futile. At one point, the duchess bit the prisoner's wrist, took his other hand with her left paw, and used her right paw to take the prisoner's heart, but it seemed that only a millimeter of penetration was impenetrated, and no more could be pierced.

The prisoner in turn grabbed the Duchess's hand, and the Duchess again wailed like a wounded pet dog, after which the prisoner broke both of the Duchess's arms.

Her hands were able to stop Excalibur bullets, but they were broken like toothpicks by prisoners.

The duchess trembled and knelt before the prisoner, who let go of her and asked a few words. The duchess shook her head vigorously and said, "I.... Don't understand. ”

I said, "He's asking, 'Are you one of Cain's kind?' ’”

Lamia asked, "Can you understand?" ”

I said, "Yes, it's ancient Sumerian." ”

I remember where I studied it, but I can't remember where.

Vasilissa replied, "I don't know Cain!" I thought it was just a myth. ”

The prisoner spoke again, and he asked, "That's not a myth, that's a fact." Why wake me up? ”

Vasilissa asked, "Aren't you Cain?" Who are you? What is it? ”

Prisoner: "My name is Abel, God's servant, the son of Adam, the brother of Cain, and the one he murdered." ”

I think this is a big misunderstanding. The prisoner must have been some mentally ill-conceived Hercules who read the Bible madly, fascinated, and obsessed, and imagined himself to be the character in the Bibleβ€”that Abel. Somewhere, he learned the ancient Sumerian language, and deceived the Sword and Shield Society or the Charon Company into thinking that he was genuine, so they imprisoned him here.

This is the typical example of not dying without dying.

It's just that his strength is too great.

Vasilisa lowered her head, and in an instant, her hands healed, and she bit down on "Abel's" neck again, like biting a delicious duck's neck.

Able bent down and punched through Vasilisa's heart and out from behind her, and Vasilissa's blood spilled all over Abel's body. Able opened his mouth, blood flowed into his mouth, and his expression changed dramatically, becoming as greedy and ferocious as Vasilissa, as if he had changed from a human to a carnivore.

But humans are carnivores, and this statement seems quite wrong.

Abel bared his fangs and bit into Vasilisa's veins. Vasilisa whispered slightly, her body trembling, allowing Able to suck blood.

Lamia shouted, "Save her!" ”

We all shot together, and the Excalibur shot Abel in the forehead, and he screamed angrily, and Vasilisa was free, and she regained a little consciousness, and she ran towards us, much slower, but already at full speed at the moment. Lamia grabbed the Duchess's hand and we ran towards the second contact zone.

Suddenly, Abel caught up with us, and Lamia did not look back, but shot him casually, as if he had eyes in the back of his head, but Abel shook his head slightly, avoided the bullet, and then took the duchess's other hand.

Vasilisa screamed, and she reverted back to the form of a girl, thus breaking free from Abel's iron fist. Salvatore and Betty shot at us, and Able stopped and caught all the Excalibur bullets with both hands.

Salvador screamed, "What? ”

I didn't have time to be surprised, we were still a few hundred meters away from the second contact zone. Able can catch up with us in the blink of an eye, and crush us all with a single finger, unless he tries to drain us all of blood.

People are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, he can fix us as much as he wants.

At this point, an idea crossed my mind. I can't even dwell on the feasibility of this idea, but I've put it into practice.

I stabbed the back of the fish's spine, right into Abel's heart. Abel yelled in pain, staggered on his feet, and in an instant, he seemed to have numb legs and feet, and stopped in place. The fish bone came back to me, and I had no idea what was going on, why it worked, and we ran as fast as we could, running to the second contact zone in one go.
