Chapter Fifty-Eight: Under the Blood
PS: Sincerely apologize, this chapter was sent too late, if there are friends who have been waiting, please forgive me. This chapter is very important, in order to ensure the completeness of the chapter, what should be written must be written, which is also something that the compass has always insisted on - I don't want to drag the chapter, that will only make the rhythm greatly reduced, so I also wrote a large chapter of 7,000 words...... This chapter doesn't meet my personal standards, it doesn't grind to the level that I'm satisfied with, I definitely won't send it out, it's a matter of principle, it was before, and it will be like this in the future, so, so I'm sorry for being so late, really, I'm sorry, if anyone is really waiting
A round round of energy mixed with ice chips blasted from the elemental giant's body in all directions, pale rays of frost erupting from its fists, tearing through the air and screeching towards Zal with a terrifying scream.
Dodging, a huge explosion erupted behind Zhal, splashing ice and dirt almost drowning his figure, all the sounds were inaudible, only the roar, the roar everywhere!
As soon as he landed on the ground, he ran wildly, but the Elemental Giant's frost rays did not end there, but continued to spray, closely following Zal's figure that kept changing directions, drawing a winding and hideous ice and snow trail on the ground!
"Frail, small, ant-like!" the mage's body condensed in the giant's body, roaring and letting out a low roar, "With your worthless resistance!" The frost rays hanging in the air suddenly broke off with a swirling ice mist, and the ice crystals floating above the giant's head exploded, rolling up pale blue streamers and gathering on top of the raised giant fist. "Die!" he said, and swung it at the running Zhal!
The strong wind covered in broken ice was swept out by the giant fist, and the whistling crushed grass on the ground made a fan-shaped dent that toppled down, and Zar's heart suddenly startled, and almost instinctively stopped, and flew backwards! The next moment. The ice spikes burst out of the ground like an empty turbid wave, roaring, completely tearing the ground in the entire fan-shaped area, and blowing it into the air in a furious way!
The horror of passing by death caused Zal to burst into a cold sweat, but as soon as the soles of his feet touched the ground, he exerted his strength again. Rushed through the rain of dirt and grass, and rushed in front of the elemental giant as soon as the ice spikes were eliminated!
Acceleration, change direction, avoidance, emergency stop...... With the mage's almost frantic roar, the battering ram-like ice fist roared, passing by Zhal's side again and again, and the moment it smashed to the ground, it burst into the sky like a fountain. The gray figure seemed to be a never-ending flying shadow, with a blood line left behind him, shuttling at high speed on the exploding earth, moving forward. Keep moving!
Prostrate on the ground, sprinting violently, and finally standing at the feet of the giant, Zar swung his sword in his hand in the rushing ice mist! The sharp and piercing sound of ice chopping and the roar of flying ice chips between the small and huge figures, the mage manipulated the giant to keep trying to drive away the "flying insects" that entangled him, and Zal circled around the giant's body, killing a cold light as fine as a net!
The bulky body hindered the giant's onslaught, but it wasn't enough to push the mage to a corner. Looking at Zhar's lightning-quick figure, the mage roared angrily and slammed his ice fist into the ground. A circle of rolling dirt was drawn around his body. For a moment, Zal's vision darkened. At this moment, a heavy black shadow crashed through the mud and sand and rushed fiercely.
"Damn!" scolded, it was too late to retreat. Tense up, the horizontal sword in front of him, and Zar even used the scattered smoke miasma to the back of "Sishua". Protected his chest.
"Boom-!!"
The "black shadow" turned into an ice fist, and at the moment of contact, a thick blood mist erupted from between Zal's teeth, and his whole body squeezed violently as if it had hit a rock. Knocked out!
In the midst of the churning earth, a figure flew upside down and fell far to the ground, bouncing twice. But just when the mage thought that Zal was no longer good, the figure suddenly twisted its waist at the moment of bounce, kicked its legs into the ground, and held it to the death, supporting the castrated body!
"Ahem...... Po......of!" The violent cough ended with a mouthful of blood spurting to the ground, and stopped! Zar's lowered waist arched there, and the ground in front of him was peared into two deep ravines. He gasped like a bloodied beast, staring at the enemy that had resurfaced in the mud and sand with those eyes full of anger, his mouth overflowing with scarlet blood!
The advantage of removing pain from your body is that you can focus all your energy on the fight without any distractions. But the downside of it is also here, you don't even feel the extent of your injury, maybe when your body is broken and your life is coming to an end, you are still indifferent.
The deepest meaning of "Iron Heart" is not to treat others, but to treat yourself...... Like Zal now! He had forgotten the feeling of pain, even the meaning of life and death! He smiled, the corners of his mouth raised under his long hair, and smiled...... Kill! Either be killed or killed, your fate has already been engraved, not at this time, but from the day you entered Wind Cliff City, it has been engraved!
Die here or kill you! Yesterday, today, and tomorrow, too! Zal's blood boiled, burning with fierce rage, he threw up his sword, roared wildly, and rushed forward again! "Come on, coward, kill me! Kill me! Otherwise, it will be you who will die!! "The crazy figure shot out, dyed red by the blood that spilled in the air!
The mage's face twitched and twisted in the ice. "Give Me !! Death"
The elemental giant roared wildly, and closed his palms above his head with a thud, all the suspended ice crystals shattered, and the light blue streamer was instantly sucked into his body!
"Boom, boom, boom!!"
In the midst of the annihilating explosion, within the circular area centered on the elemental giants, the earth cracked and collapsed, and lifted into the air, countless blue turbulence and ice spikes crisscrossed and strangled everything that flew in the air! Stabbed into the giant's arm!
With a thud, the long sword in Zhal's hand was nailed into the ice, and the swords alternated upwards repeatedly, and Zal climbed the giant's arm, shaking and climbing upwards!
"Get me down!" the mage's furious voice came out, manipulating the giant to flick his arm violently. Zar gritted his teeth and plunged the gray blade into the crack of the ice! The next moment, the fierce sound of the wind poured into his ears, and he refused to let go of the chaotic force, and Zar felt light, and was carried by the giant's raised arm, and swept into the air together!
The violent centrifugal force stretched Zal's entire left arm straight, and he gritted his teeth and held on, his face a bloodthirsty hideous. At the moment when the wind gradually stopped. Zar grabbed the gray blade and roared wildly, slammed forward, swept past the giant's shoulder armor, stood up "Sishua", and stabbed down fiercely towards the stunned ice-blue eyes!
"Oh-!!"
A terrifying piercing sound erupted from Zhal's blade, and he stepped on the giant's diamond-shaped head and nailed the sword all into it!
"Roar, Roar, Roar, !!Roar, Roar, Roar, Roar, T
The elemental giants wailed. He took a few steps backwards and used his arms to support his body that was about to fall. "Damn it. Die! I want you to die......" The mage looked up at Zal above through the ice, "Get out of !!here," he said, and a fierce round force rushed from the giant's body to all directions.
Before he could draw his sword, Zar was swept away, rolled upside down and fell to the ground. A thick ray of frost tore at the ground and swept over. Barely leaping to the side, Zar was about to run out of stamina, unable to maintain evasive maneuvers in high-speed running.
But at the same time, the elemental giant crawling on the ground heard another wail, and the rays gushing out from the ice fist became thinner and thinner, and finally dispersed into ice mist floating in the air with a bang!
"You're done...... Coward...... You. It's over......!" Zar struggled to his feet, looked at the mage in the ice in the distance, and whispered.
"It's over, you say I'm done?!!hahaha......" The mage laughed wildly, seemingly propped up on the ground with the giant, breathing hard. Suddenly, a heavy inhalation rang out from the giant's re-rising body!!!
As he spoke, countless pieces of ice scattered on the ground seemed to be attracted by some kind of force, and they all rose from the ground, hanging in the air in a strange way! Then, those ice cubes shattered into powder in the sound of explosions, whistling, turning into countless light blue streamers, gathering on the giant's chest!
"Elementals, boiling elements, endless!" the mage's voice grew louder and louder, and the giant's body was like a terrifying whirlpool, from the air, from the earth, constantly preying on all the elemental particles, emitting a sharp trill!
"Endless?hahaha......" Zal laughed, covered in blood, his right arm lying across his side vibrating, spreading out a layer of unbelievable muscle texture. "Endless?!" he laughed wildly, his eyes full of sarcasm and disdain, and suddenly rushed towards the other party!
Looking at the figure stretched by the strong wind and the blood, the elemental giant raised his ice fist, shaking, accumulating, getting brighter and brighter, the deep dark blue like an immortal glacier for ten thousand years! "Come, Zhar! Come-let me see what else you are capable of-let me look at you, !! death"
The short distance was squeezed out in the sound of the breaking wind, and the zenith sunlight seemed to be unable to pierce the killing intent and blood in the field! The boiling smoke miasma became thicker and thicker on Zal's right arm, and finally roared, turning into a terrifying black! Only the huge enemy was left in his eyes, and he jumped up with all his might! "Damn it's you—!!"
The sun sprinkled light behind him, weaving darkness in front of him! The two fists brought out the gray defeat and ice blue, facing each other, towards each other, and blasted down!
"Bang-!!"
The heavy bombardment sound was accompanied by the majestic momentum pressed around, and time came to a standstill between the stopped fists, and the crimson blood arrow erupted from Zhar's right arm, and the fine cracks spread and cracked on the giant's ice fist! The next moment, the roar of one side declared the battle song of the victor, and the other side only had disbelief in the eyes of the other!
Time passed in a moment, and the steel fist of flesh and blood marched forward bravely! With a huge explosion, the entire arm of the elemental giant was blasted into shattered ice and blasted behind it! Zhal, who fell in mid-air, climbed its staggering body, swung up the shadow of the fist in the sky, and smashed it!
"Bang bang!"
Blood droplets from his fist splattered around the crazy figure, and fine pieces of ice exploded into the sky! Knocked the body of ice and snow to the ground and into the dirt! The last punch! Accumulated the strength of the whole body and blasted down! With a loud bang, the ice shattered, and the energy rolled in all directions, and the earth flew up at first, drowning everything......
After a long time. The glade at the edge of the forest finally fell silent, and there was hardly a complete piece of ground in sight on the devastated ground, with broken grass, mud, and ice that had not yet melted, scattered everywhere. And the stream, which had once been embedded in the ground, had been bulldozed and disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared......
In the middle of the battlefield, a low wheezing voice continued. Zal held himself up. He stood up from the ground, and at the same time, his palm seemed to be stuck in something, and he held it up in front of him.
It's a blood-stained mage. "Why?...... Why is this happening...... His gaze was hollow, and large streams of blood poured out of his mouth. His body had returned to its original form, and the effects of the medicine had worn off. "No, shouldn't be like this......"
"Shouldn't it?...... Zal's eyes burned with a blood-like red, "the elementals are fair...... The more you take. The more you give......" he looked coldly at the mage, "you take more than you can limit." It will only cost your own life......"
"What are you talking about?" the mage's gaze gradually returned.
"I say, as a former apprentice of Saint-Slan, don't you know that the forbidden area of battle mages - 'elemental overload'?!" Zar said the theory of "elemental resonance" that the old moon demon Ulez once mentioned, when Zar was still studying the "Wish of Death". The metaphor of "pools and pipes" comes to mind.
"Elemental, overload?!......" the mage's face changed.
"That's right...... Why do you think I 'escaped here'?" Zal's smile was a little cruel, "I did it on purpose to find water...... Fool!" he said, "so that you can absorb elemental particles with impunity." Squander your magic and lead yourself to death!"
"You ......" the mage's face was extremely pale, large beads of sweat spilled from his forehead, and he trembled all over, unable to utter a complete sentence, "this, this is ...... I, I ......"
The corners of Zal's mouth furrowed. "What's wrong?" he said, holding the mage's neck, "Ah...... the side effects of 'Elemental Overload' have begun!"
"What, what...... Vice, Vice-...... Ah!!hh......h My ......" struggled to raise his arms, and in his eyes, his palms were melting at a visible rate, turning into a viscous red juice. "Ahhh!!h
"Muscle melting caused by overload...... Your body has been destroyed by elemental particles, far beyond what you can bear!" Listening to the mage's screams, Zar introduced with some pleasure, "First the limbs, then the torso, and finally the brain...... You won't be hurt to death, I want you to see yourself turn into a pool of foul-smelling blood!"
One of the mage's arms had been dragged and broken, falling to the ground like mud. "You damn bastard, bastard! Damn ......"
Zhal's palm slammed into the mage's voice. "Tut-tut...... If you can't make a sound, you'll be more miserable...... Really?" he smiled, admiring the mage's face, red and white from the pain and suffocation. Taking a light breath, Zar's expression showed great enjoyment in a hissing sound similar to a happy feeling.
"Kill, kill...... Kill, I'......" The mage's throat squeezed out a few syllables, sticky flesh and broken bones piled beneath him, he had lost both arms and a leg. "Kill me...... Seeking, begging......"
"Don't make a sound, damn it!" Zar shook his head in dissatisfaction and suddenly changed to a kind expression, "Look, aren't you a 'god'......?" Oh God, haha...... Actually, you're not even worthy of people!" he said, the red light in his eyes twitched, and he tightened his palms suddenly!
"Uh...... Uh......" The mage's face grew redder, his eyeballs rolled upward, revealing large whites of his eyes, and blood snaked from his features.
"Don't die, I say!" Zar suddenly let go of his palm and shook it twice vigorously.
A sharp inhalation came from the mage's throat, but sooner, he was in a sharp pain that dissolved his muscles. "You're a demon! You're ...... Evil, demon!" he hissed and roared, "kill, kill me, please...... Please!ahhh!!h
Zal's eyebrows furrowed, and the scarlet in his eyes almost filled the little space left. "I refuse! Scream, louder! It's a delicacy that flesh and blood can't match......"
At this moment, in the far direction behind him, a clear voice shouted with a hint of anxiety. "Zal - !!"
"Who!" As if the feast had been interrupted, Zal's face showed an incomparably hideous line, and he turned his head sharply! In the midst of the scarlet eyes, he saw a girl with long brown and blond hair, standing there, her veiled eyes shining brightly, revealing the most sincere warmth.
In an instant, the red in Zal's eyes shrank back like a letter from a poisonous snake's mouth, and in the gray-blue eyes, it was a little harvested and quietly disappeared.
"Ah, Adjani ......?" he spat lightly, and looked back blankly, seeing the mage who was still held up in front of him!
The girl in the distance was stunned, not only her, but even the two "Wind Breath Guards" standing next to her were also stunned, the moment they turned their heads, they seemed to see a surging blood tide, and a murderous aura that was so strong that it was suffocating!
"Lay down your arms and get on your knees, thugs ......"
"Ma'am, please stand back and don't lean up!"
One of the guards held the girl out, but Adjani stubbornly pushed her away. "No, don't stop me, let me go!" After saying that, he ran in the direction of Zal!
In the distance, the mage who fell to the ground grinned, looked up at the dazed Zhal, and laughed. "Hahaha...... What's wrong?Is the false 'conscience' back?hahaha!!" He writhed his melting torso, as if even the pain had been washed away by the "pleasure" at this time, "Look at you!zar, look at you just now!" he roared, "What's the difference between you and me?hmm?!You're the devil!A demon who is more bloodthirsty than me!hahaha......"
"Shut up!" Adjani's voice struck with a short burst of air, and two bloody arrows suddenly erupted from the mage's cheeks, and his laughter stopped abruptly, and before he could even close his mouth, he tilted to the side, twitched a few times, and stopped moving.
Zar took two steps back in a daze, raised his head, and looked at the girl running towards him, his hands in front of him were stained with blood. (To be continued......)
