Chapter 24: The Harvest of Flesh and Blood
Chapter Twenty-Four: The Harvest of Flesh and Blood
"Don't ask, run!"
The footsteps were so heavy that it was as if a hammer had been slammed straight into Mino's heart, so much so that he didn't care to explain anything to Hunn, and just dragged everyone to run.
Although he didn't know what to do, the shocked look on Mino's face couldn't be faked, and the prestige that Mino's wound treatment operations had established along the way still made Huon and other pioneers keep up with Mino's pace and began to run towards the rear.
It's a pity that it was already too late when Mino missed the first footsteps, not to mention that Mino was delayed for a while because of the explanation of the reason, so the current retreat of Mino and the vanguard was destined to be useless.
After running for only a few tens of meters, just after turning the third corner, the huge black shadow appeared behind Mino, and with the seemingly slow but rapid pace of each step, the original vague figure revealed its true body.
What kind of sturdy figures are they, filling the corridor that can pass side by side with three people and several people, and the whole body and head are covered tightly by a pitch-black heavy armor, and at first glance, I don't know that it can be broken by ordinary blades, and even the muscles occasionally exposed in the gaps in the armor are dark and stiff, shining with a metallic luster in the light, and with the black and sharp spear, it is daunting.
And the most desperate thing is the coercion brought by the almost substantial pitch-black demonic energy on the figure's body, although it has not yet reached the point where a legendary powerhouse can kill people, its deterrent effect may not be underestimated, and the strength certification attached to it is the most desperate thing.
Just because of the hard power revealed through the coercion of demonic energy, I am afraid that everyone who has tried their best to fight the vanguard is nothing more than that, not to mention the armor that looks extraordinary.
At this time, without Mino's explanation, everyone understood what Mino's previous behavior was.
Unfortunately, it was too late, and the unidentified armor guard had only taken three or four steps to shorten the distance between him and the crowd by more than ten meters, and with this method of shrinking the ground into inches, no one would be able to escape before defeating them.
So needless to say, when they ran to the next fork in the road, almost everyone spontaneously stopped, ready to fight to the death and fight their way out.
Except for Mino.
Only Mino, who knows the true body of this armored guard, knows how ridiculous everyone's idea of desperately fighting a bloody way is, if this armored guard is really what the vanguard can kill, why should Mino be surprised like that.
You must know that inside that thick armor, there is a berserker demon who has won the favor of the abyss!
Once the flesh harvesting ritual is arranged, in addition to the attention of the sacrificial demons, the most important thing is that it will get the attention of the Abyssal Panwill, as long as the presiding officer of the ceremony offers a body with a fifth-level combat power, the Abyss Panwill will automatically transform it into two or one of these fully armed berserker demons.
Relying on weapons and equipment and the blessing of the Abyssal Panwill, almost as prescribed by the law, this berserker will start killing all life in the ritual venue except for the master of the ceremony every hour, turning their flesh and blood into power and sacrificing it to the sacrificial demon and the Abyssal Panwill.
And in addition to the sixth level and above professionals, no matter how strong and how many people there are in the fifth level and below, it is impossible to kill this berserker demon, even if the combat power is strong, the only way to break the game is to fight and advance, carrying the sacrifice of this berserk demon to rush into the core of the ceremony to kill the host.
Otherwise, it's up to luck to see if you can escape from the ceremony venue before being killed by this killing god.
Therefore, this ritual is notoriously terrifying, and many people rely on secretly laying down this ritual to kill their entire enemies.
And the most famous, even relying on this ritual and mist magic to combine it, killed an entire army, and then relied on the power of the devil's feedback to slaughter a small country, leaving a heavy mark in history.
Perhaps, after Mino's strength is restored after being promoted to level five, he can rely on the immortal attribute of the Falling Star and the power of the Falling Star Sword to fight against it and try the only way to break the game.
But now, relying only on this vanguard of mercenaries, let alone fighting and entering, even escaping is just a luxury.
However, Mino can't say this, otherwise if everyone knows the horror of this berserk war demon, and without a sense of battle under despair, he really can't run alone.
So Mino, although he knew that he could not fight, he still drew his sword like everyone else.
This berserker is not so much a demon as it is the embodiment of the rules of harvesting in this ritual, and there is no sanity at all.
So whether Minor and the others fled or fought, they had no effect on this berserk battle demon, he didn't even have the usual battle cry before the ordinary demon attacked, the only thing he knew was to raise his spear and stab after chasing the living creatures in the ritual grounds.
Because I don't know how strong the other party is, the one standing at the forefront of the battle is the heavily armed captain Hunn.
Seeing the berserk demon stabbing at him, he raised his sword and met it, and the long sword made of fine iron was like a solid thick wall in his hand, sealing all the paths of the black spear.
However, this exquisite sword did a completely useless job, throwing the flattering eyes to the blind man, and the berserk demon stabbed out with a spear, and there was no change in the posture at all, and the straight spear stabbed in, and by his own great strength and the sharpness of the black spear, the excellent quality of the long sword in Hunn's hand was stabbed in two.
Hunn, who was about to receive the impact, had not expected such a situation, if it weren't for his rich combat experience and quick reaction, he shrunk his neck the moment the spear stabbed the sword, and the steel helmet that fell to the ground after being pierced would have been the fate of his head.
Although there was only one round of fighting, Hune hadn't even counterattacked, but after such a blow, everyone could understand the horror of this berserk without Minow's explanation.
So the ridiculous idea of fighting a bloody road disappeared from the minds of the pioneers at this moment, and there was only one thought in everyone's minds, and that was to escape!
Run away, the faster you escape, the better, even the strongest Huon is not the enemy of this monster's move, if this team of people does not escape, I am afraid that they will only be stabbed to death by the opponent's spear.
Even ordinary team members can understand things, and Hunn, as the captain, can naturally think of it, but he has been entangled by the other party when he stands up to fight, let alone turn around and run away, even if he turns around slightly, I am afraid that he will not be able to escape the fate of being poked to death by a spear.
In other words, Hunn, though still struggling to survive under the Berserker's spear, is no different from a dead man.
Therefore, seeing that the situation was not good, and there was no hope of escaping, his first order was to let Mino, who had become his deputy, stand up and lead a group of pioneers to escape, even if there was only one person left, he would tell the large army led by Komat and others about the advance route he and others had opened up outside and the murderous intentions hidden in this lord's mansion.
Everyone knows that an organized and disciplined retreat is more reliable than a mess of loose running, and although the pioneers are panicked, because Hugh is dragging the berserk in front, the death threat is not attached to them, and they still have some sense to think about the best plan.
Coupled with the prestige established by Mino's actions along the way, as soon as Hughne's order was issued, the people of the vanguard recovered from the panic and regained unity with Mino.
And although Mino didn't want to abandon his companions, he also knew the importance of passing on the information, plus it was useless to stay, just to add an extra ration to the devil, and Hunn fell into danger several times because of urging him, as soon as he gritted his teeth, he responded to this order to completely throw Huon to a dead end, and led the team to run towards the exit.
Before taking away, Huon asked the two warriors to leave two long swords for him, looking at Mino's figure as they gradually faded away, Huon grinned and spat out a mouthful of blood, and a lazy donkey rolled to avoid the attack of the berserk demon at the same time, and copied the two long swords on the ground in his hand.
Then with a roar of rage, he jumped up with two long swords and launched a counterattack against the berserker demon.
"Come on, bastard, let Grandpa Huon see how good you really are!" (To be continued.) )
