Chapter xxiii: Imminent death

All the internal organs seemed to be displaced, blood vomited uncontrollably from his mouth, the young man arched himself in pain, his facial features were completely distorted and deformed like the demons of hell, sweat soaked through his clothes unconsciously, his hands, body and even the ground were covered with blood, and only a bright red piece remained in his vision.

Want to die, want to die, want to die –

The deeply pursed lips were already a little purple, and the tendons all over the body were spasming, and it was the first time for Amy to bear such a terrible backlash, and the whole person was like a fish thrown on the shore, unable to even breathe, and could only passively endure the pain, passively waiting for the end of all suffering.

It's finally over.

I don't know how long it took, the Glory One opened his eyes, he wanted to take a big gulp of fresh air to celebrate the rest of his life, but he subconsciously held his breath, carefully looking around through the gap between the leaves - fortunately, the round of revenge just now didn't last long, the killers' search work didn't make much progress, and it would be at least a minute or two before they approached his current hiding place, and he still had plenty of time, and there was still plenty of time to think about what to do next.

But...... The state of the body can be described as quite bad.

And...... Blood on the ground and on the body will be the most obvious clue.

He frowned slightly, even with the super-mundane strong physique of the Descendant of Glory, he felt weak in the case of severe blood loss, not to mention that with the killer's sensitivity to the smell of blood, the blood stains on his body would definitely become a sign of his own existence, or the kind that could not be concealed.

It's hard to do.

If it was only the assassin, even if the weakness caused by his blood loss had seriously affected his combat ability, he would have the confidence to maneuver with the advantage of the enemy and the enemy, but with the famous dark wizard...... Then the situation will be overwhelmingly unfavorable for him.

- Cultists of Chaos.

Amy is no stranger to this title, he has heard it since his college days - not everyone in this world believes in morality, law and order, and eventually some people have betrayed the noble blood flowing in their bodies and fallen to the side of chaos, they spurn all the prosperity and beauty of the world, yearn for chaos and killing, and through bloody sacrifices to please the dark and unspeakable will, and gain terrifying power beyond ordinary people's imagination.

They are demons in human garments, the greatest enemies of the Glory.

And the dark wizard Alfred is the best of them.

When he thought of that guy, the boy unconsciously covered his left ribcage with his hand, feeling the thumping vitality - he was not at all the same order of magnitude as Alfred who stood at the top of Hemtika, not to mention figuring out ways and means to defeat the other party, or how to get out of the death situation encountered in the last harbing, until now he didn't know how he was robbed of his heart by the crow, and if he was targeted by the envoy again, he had no room for even the slightest chance to escape.

When the time comes, I'm afraid his ability won't be able to save his life.

It is true that the aura of death is a powerful ability to become the winner of the situation, but every time he is forced to launch it, he has to bear the corresponding backlash, and the previous times may be far from being compared to this time, but he also vomits several mouthfuls of blood, and weakens for a while- I don't know if it's because of the particularity of the dark wizard's own existence, or if it has something to do with the fact that he has launched twice in a short period of time, this time the backlash directly made him half dead, if he does it again, even if his body can withstand it, I'm afraid he will fall into a situation where he can't move for a considerable period of time after that, right?

So, can't die.

Nor can you encounter Alfred the Dark Wizard.

Chaos cultists can sacrifice to the blind and foolish chaos through a bloody mass unimaginable to ordinary people, so as to obtain all kinds of unbelievable mysterious powers, among which there is a large category named wizards, the core ability of this type of chaos cultists is mysterious and unknowable, they use a certain terrible power that humans cannot understand, analyze or even recognize, and the demon is only a small branch of insignificant, and the reason why this small branch is widely known is only because...... Alfred the Dark Wizard.

Although humans cannot understand the mechanism, they can at least see the surface - the dark wizard Alfred, the ultimate enemy of the Glory of Hemtika, whose abilities exhibit traits that are never a secret - unlike the Descendants of Glory, who can only inherit one ability from their ancestors, the Cultists of Chaos are able to please the blind and foolish Chaos through bloody and cruel sacrifices, and then gain multiple abilities.

Alfred's abilities as a dark wizard are based on three main categories, the most important of which is the Servant Demon, and his other two sub-abilities, whether incarnate or plague, are all used by his Servant Demon Red-Eyed Raven - There is no doubt that the envoy demon is the core and base point of his ability, by summoning the crows he can gain access to the intelligence network throughout the city, through the red-eyed black crow he can spread plague and death, and even the crow incarnation will to exert power and silently take his life.

Because of this, in Hemtika the crow is seen as a bad omen and is seen as a messenger of death.

Alfred's name is always at the top of the wanted list of the town hall of Hemtika, and there have been many glorious people who have died at his hands over the years, including some of the most prominent and unbeatable figures - and until now, the black Grim Reaper is still at large.

His prudence, his toughness, can be seen from this.

The young Glory Man couldn't figure out how he could provoke an enemy of this level if he was just a powerless and powerless downcast?

And, it seems, came specifically for the surname Ulysses.

Thinking of the last vague words he heard before he died, the young man's heart couldn't help but be clouded with a heavy haze.

If I'm not mistaken, the Dark Wizard Alfred was behind the disappearance of his parents and the fact that he had to entrust his sister to Franks - and if not somehow, there must be some kind of deep connection between the two.

Pity...... What's the use of knowing all of this now?

The priority is to stay alive.

Yes, survive from the dark wizard Alfred.

Amy gritted her teeth - since she couldn't escape to the open area where the crows could see, and it was difficult to escape the killers' dragnet-like search, she had no choice but to take a dangerous move now.

He flipped the dagger in his hand, calmed his breath, slowed his breathing, and squinted through the gaps in the leaves to search for a suitable target.

First of all, you have to be a lonely, easy guy.

Secondly, the height and body should not be too far apart.

It's best to also cover your face.

It's not too much, but it's not too little, and it takes luck to find a suitable target, after all, it's not easy to sneak someone out of the way without knowing it, so as to achieve the purpose of hiding from the world.

But luckily, fate seems to be on the same side as him tonight.

It didn't take him much to find a lone assassin, and then silently approached his prey like a poisonous snake, and—

The figure suddenly rose, and the sharp blade slashed through the throat.

Without even a sound, the boy slowly collapsed with the killer's body in his hands.

- Very good, successful first step.

The young Glory Man quickly changed into clothes that did not fit so well, covered the contours of his face tightly with a mask, moved his meridians slightly, and carefully buried the body while pretending to be a serious search—although it still left traces on the muddy ground more or less, it was not so real under the cover of night and rain.

Unfortunately, there is no more time.

It's not that he can't do it more finely, but staying in the same area for a long time will inevitably cause people to be suspicious.

So, he mimicked the man's movements, and searched the bushes along his path—his main focus, of course, was not in the bushes where nothing could possibly exist, but on the group of assassins and the occasional red-eyed crow among the branches.

Thankfully, it was fast.

Seeing the increasing frequency of the crows, Amy couldn't help but rejoice in the timely decision - as long as she was lucky, she hesitated a little and failed to replace someone in the queue as soon as possible, and when the encirclement became smaller and smaller, and there was less and less room left, I am afraid that the woods would already be full of Alfred's eyeliner.

Although the current situation may hardly be optimistic, and the future is still uncertain, death has been avoided at least to a certain extent.

With a long sigh of relief in his heart, the young man restrained his divergent attention.

The danger is not far away.

Fortunately, when the killers shrink their pockets to the extreme, only to find that there is nothing in their pockets, they will presumably turn their suspicious eyes on each other instead of conducting a more detailed investigation.

That's when the test really came.

With his eyes narrowed slightly, the young Glory Man looked at the "peers" who had gradually gathered together.

It's more or less good news, these killers are some unorganized and undisciplined rangers, and it can be seen from the messy costumes alone that most of them are lone rangers who don't know each other, and judging from the undisguised jealousy in the eyes of more people, it seems that there is still a lot of grudge between them.

It's worth taking advantage of.

Then, he thought, as the encirclement narrowed further, the killers met in the grove.

"No—"

"It doesn't exist. ”

"Maybe it's okay to escape. ”

"Yes. ”

"Same. ”

Unexpectedly, the assassins were not so motivated to complete the mission, and it was not difficult to think of a blind spot in their minds to sneak in with them and hide their tracks, but none of the twenty or so people present mentioned it—Amy stood in an inconspicuous place and quietly observed the killers gathered together, and had a faint guess about the appearance of this situation—perhaps not because she didn't expect this possibility, but because it was ...... Everyone deliberately ignored this possibility.

The people who can become killers and live to this day are not simple characters, not to mention anything else, their means of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages are absolutely first-class - although they are numerous at the moment, they have lost their first move, and the enemy is hiding in the shadows, the situation is extremely unfavorable to them, rather than stupidly acting as someone else's murder weapon and losing their lives hastily, it is better to pay the deposit against the black heart, and this trip can be said to be full.

It seems that they don't know what kind of person their employer is.

However, this good news made the glorious person frown.

Alfred the Dark Wizard is not a simple person, and his money is not so easy to hold, especially when he is ...... The task he set was not accomplished.

So—

The black feathers fell, and his thoughts stopped abruptly, and at some point, the gray-haired noble boy with heterochromatic pupils had appeared in the center of everyone's sight, and the black flower umbrella as deep as the night swirled in his hand, only to see him squint one eye and look at everyone present with red pupils.

For some reason, when she met those blood-like pupils, Amy couldn't help but dare to feel a little creepy.

- He's going to kill.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the boy realized this, and then held his breath.
