The Ninety-Eighth Palm: Precursor of Advent (1st Update)
"Chu Yuan, don't lie down." Linn patted Chu Yuan, who was still pretending to be dead and motionless on the ground, she really didn't understand the thinking of these guys from the second courtyard, "At this time, you still have the heart to make trouble?" ”
However, Chu Yuan was still motionless, Linn couldn't help but be a little angry, so she grabbed Chu Yuan's shoulder and turned him over directly, and then she realized that the glasses man had a sharp scalpel stuck in his neck, because the ground was covered with blood stains from Dracula's previous invitation, and the blood flowing from the wound on his neck did not let others notice for a while.
"Damn it!" Linn hurriedly took out the radio and contacted Ma Shuangcheng, "Captain, something happened to Chu Yuan!" ”
"What!" Because Zhu Jue and Dracula kept changing their positions for a while, Ma Shuangcheng, who was constantly changing the direction of progress in the ruins, was finally approaching the place where Zhu Jue and Dracula fell just now, and he was also very surprised when he heard Linn's report, "What's the matter, except for Dracula, the other enemies should have been wiped out!" ”
"It's Jack!" Linn said, looking at the scalpel.
"Didn't that guy get his head shot by me?" Ma Shuangcheng was stunned when he heard this, and then immediately reacted, "Damn, I was careless......
“…… I forgot about it too. Linn gritted his teeth and said, "Didn't we have a side quest to kill Jack, and then we ran aground for the time being because the main quest didn't have time. As a result, I didn't remember until now that if Jack really died under your gun, then he should have a hint after he died......"
"And what about that guy now?" Ma Shuangcheng immediately asked.
Linn headed towards the place where Jack's headless corpse was supposed to be, but there was nothing left there, and his actions were silent, because of the fierce battle, everyone had ignored the headless body that had long since been gone.
"Gone...... Linn replied. I suspect he seems to have the same super regenerative abilities as the werewolf he last encountered on Tower Bridge......"
"You go and take care of Li Wuxian immediately, this situation can't happen again...... If you notice something wrong, launch a counterattack immediately. Ma Shuangcheng sighed, "Half of the time has passed, I still have to help Zhu Jue, you must be careful." ”
Put away the radio. Ma Shuangcheng shook his head helplessly, fortunately, it was only Chu Yuan who had an accident, to be honest, whether that guy is useful or not Ma Shuangcheng has not been determined until now, in comparison, Li Wuxian, who is also a newcomer, is obviously more capable than Chu Yuan.
Then Ma Shuangcheng calmed down and continued to cautiously walk towards the landing point of Zhu Jue and Dracula just now.
The drop point is already quite far from the port, in the heart of the East Quarter of the City of London. Unlike the specially cleaned port area, this is the heart of London's slum where ordinary people live. Although most of them have been attacked and turned into ghouls, they dissolved with the river of blood when Dracula summoned the blood just now. But there are also a considerable number of people hiding in the warehouses of the factories along the coast and in the various enclosed building spaces, although the number of victims may be less than one percent, but there are hundreds or thousands. At this time, they hid in a dark corner, trembling and huddled with their heads in their hands, hoping that the disaster at this time was just a nightmare. Will pass quickly.
Zhu Jue staggered to his feet, and the exoskeleton covered by his body was almost shattered and fell off in the impact. Revealing the twisted flesh and blood that had been corroded by the dark magic energy below, the white bone wings behind him didn't know that they had bent and fallen there, leaving only two bone stubbles exposed, and the horns on his head were broken to less than a third, and the black demonic blood dripped from the various wounds to the ground, and the blood seemed to be boiling half. It emits a black mist.
However, facing Dracula in front of him, Zhu Jue still pulled the corners of his mouth, revealing a somewhat hideous smile.
After Dracula was hit by Zhu Jue's direct impact, his body had been completely shattered into flesh and blood under the destruction of the powerful dark magic energy and impact force. Only his cloak was nailed to the ground by Zhu Jue's broken horns, fluttering in the wind.
But soon Zhu Jue stopped smiling, and he saw that the flesh and blood began to wriggle and reunite together, and the blood of the innocents around him turned into a whirlpool, constantly injecting into those flesh and blood, providing the energy of rebirth.
Zhu Jue smacked his lips and wanted to let out a mockery, but his lungs had been completely destroyed by the impact when he wantonly destroyed it just now, and there was no way to make a sound.
Seeing that those flesh and blood were about to be reborn, Zhu Jue's eyes widened and he wanted to launch a magic eye ray to destroy those flesh and blood, but there was no reaction, he realized that his eyes were also completely destroyed just now, and what he saw at this time came from the vision of his soul, not the eyes of his body.
"If it weren't for so much blood, I might have died at your hands." Finally, the mass of flesh and blood was reborn, and Dracula, who had condensed into a blood-colored dress with blood, picked up the half of Zhu Jue's horns under his feet, felt the dark magic energy contained in it, and then threw it aside, put on the cloak nailed to the ground by the horns again, and then said to Zhu Jue, "Those guys destroyed my coffin and destroyed my own power of rebirth, but this is London after all, and you can have as much blood as you want." ”
"You...... And now there are ...... So many ...... Blood? Zhu Jue, whose lungs were completely damaged, swallowed a breath of air, borrowed the stomach that was still intact to expel those gases, and vibrated his esophagus to make a sound, his language was no longer the chaotic and strange words just now, but it became more jerky and gloomy.
At this time, the river of blood had almost dried up under the wanton squandering of Dracula's ability to activate and rebirth, and the remaining blood was only a shallow layer.
"It's enough......" Dracula's rebirth this time did not grow that pair of bat wings, and he seemed to realize that he couldn't tolerate such consumption, but he looked at Zhu Jue and shook his head gently, "Looking at your appearance, you can't maintain this state for long, right?" ”
Unlike Dracula, who can be reborn, Zhu Jue can only be strengthened by consuming his body under the demonization of dark magic. But at this time, there was no extra part for Zhu Jue to sacrifice, after all, he had already sacrificed his whole body.
"You...... OK...... Come and try it......" Zhu Jue felt his flesh and blood throbbing uneasily, and they wanted to break free from Zhu Jue's shackles and become independent beings under the instigation of the dark magic energy, even if he wanted to call on those dark magic energy to attack, he still couldn't calm the restless power. This was also a sign that Zhu Jue's time was almost exhausted, he leaned down slightly, made an attack gesture, and then without saying a word, turned around and fled.
“…… Do you want to escape at this time? Dracula followed behind Zhu Jue unhurriedly, every step he took seemed to be very gentle, but he could appear dozens of meters away in an instant, and every step he took was supported by a platform made of blood, completely ignoring the existence of those obstacles.
Seeing that Dracula was about to catch up with Zhu Jue. A point of light suddenly flashed in the distance, and then those points of light immediately spread into countless barrages, covering a radius of hundreds of meters, so that Dracula, who was about to catch up with Zhu Jue, suddenly had to stop moving forward, and opened a blood shield to top up, blocking the explosion of those barrages.
"Do ...... Well, old horse! Zhu Jue looked at Ma Shuangcheng climbing on top of a chimney in the distance and couldn't help but say. Then he directly broke through the wall of a nearby factory warehouse and rushed in.
"Dying and struggling...... Dracula flung a bloody blade at Ma Shuangcheng. Cutting the chimney dozens of meters high directly into a piece of rubble, Ma Shuangcheng seemed to know that he could only delay Dracula for a while, and immediately jumped out of the chimney after launching the barrage, although he was not crushed under the gravel, but it was estimated that he would be injured after landing. It won't be a secondary obstacle to Dracula for a while.
"You can't escape." Dracula then walked over to the warehouse, and with a flick of his hand, he swept through the entire masonry wall, revealing everything in the warehouse.
"Who said I was going to run away?" Zhu Jue held an ordinary citizen in his hand and looked at Dracula. The warehouse was home to nearby workers who had fled during the London riots, who seemed to have repelled a wave of ghouls with their working tools at hand, and had wisely cleaned up the infected, and many corpses with their heads smashed with shovels could be seen in the corners of the warehouse. The little 100 people blocked the iron door of the warehouse, huddled together like sardines, but Zhu Jue, who rushed in, used pollution to harvest all their souls.
Although these souls are not powerful, at least after they are converted into magical power, they can appease the dark magical energy that has been scattered everywhere in Zhu Jue's body and is difficult to control.
"It's a pity that my primordial sacrificial technique can't sacrifice to others, otherwise after devouring their souls, there are still so many bodies that can be used as sacrifices...... It seems that if I can go back, I will need to do more reinforcements in this regard. Let the corpse in his hand be thrown on the ground, Zhu Jue sighed.
Then Zhu Jue poured all the dark magic energy that could be controlled into his spine, and the flesh on his back was immediately broken, and the demonized spine drilled out of Zhu Jue's body, different from the demonized sword obtained after sacrificing the spine last time, this spine at this time is not only connected to Zhu Jue's brain that has not been completely destroyed, the brain stem, and the ribs that run through the lungs are also separated from the bone plate in front of the chest, and they are still connected to the spine at this time. The form of this demonized spine was like a terrifying white bone totem, and all of Zhu Jue's nerves were still entwined on it.
Those nerves hooked up with each other, forming a new demon eye, and the remaining ribs were also detached and reconstructed into a row of white bone wings, and Zhu Jue's body was also twisted into a chaotic form, turning into a seat of flesh and blood that carried the demonized spine. With those additions just now, Zhu Jue forcibly reunited the uneasy and scattered dark magic energy in his body, and then he gave up his control over the unified dark magic energy, and let the dark magic energy show up in the posture it expected. And the dark magic energy is also completely out of Zhu Jue's control, at this time Zhu Jue's will and thoughts are no longer important, even the soul has been completely suppressed by this dark magic energy, if it weren't for Zhu Jue's soul still maintaining this body, maybe this dark magic energy will completely devour his soul unscrupulously.
In this case, it stands to reason that after a certain amount of sacrifice, the Dark Demon can devour the will of the sacrificer, and it is about to appear in this world.
"What the hell is this?" A wave of uneasiness flashed through Dracula's heart, and he immediately chose to retreat. (To be continued......)
PS: I wrote more than 6,000 words at the end of this volume in one go...... Hmm, it's good to split it into two chapters
