Chapter 42: Scarlet
Outside the mansion, a storm of steel and fury roared from above, slamming into the crimson sea. It was a roaring and earth-shattering figure, its tall body covered with jet-black plasma, and a pair of big hands with strong muscles and bones holding a terrifying single-edged giant axe, the sharp blade horns and the nails on the back of the axe pierced the air in the roar, like a violent wind fighting the waves that kept lapping at him!
The sturdy soles of his feet seemed to trample on thunder, and the earth trembled with each step he took, and countless blood beasts were lifted directly into the air, shattering into a mass of dead flesh mixed with blood and bones. No one could have imagined that such an incredible power could appear in a mortal, and that a person's will could control such swift and ferocious movements!
The frantic battle continued, but the blood corpse headed by the one standing outside finally lost its patience, and with its roar, the two blood corpses behind it rushed directly forward and slaughtered into the battle circle of encircling and suppressing the barbarians.
The cold, piercing murderous aura scraped the barbarian's skin, and the surging malice stung his nerves like a hurricane rolling up grains of sand. Pollus caught a glimpse of the two crimson figures in the screams of the blood beasts and the flying blood in the sky, and he smiled, his eyes spewing out of a fiery rage - O demon crawling out of the burning hell, today is not the day of your victory, not today!
A desolate and high-pitched war song blasted through the dark night sky, and the barbarian roared like a lightning bolt that lit up the darkness, and rushed towards the two bloody corpses. Vadrak's power seemed to hear his call, and the wind and thunder shredded everything that dared to stand in his way, and the space that was not far away was instantly squeezed out, and in the face of those two terrifying figures, the barbarian suddenly twisted his waist, poured all his strength into the giant axe, and threw it forward!
The whistling sound of the wind was hidden in the shattered plasma, and the blade of the great axe split the head of the bloody corpse that rushed at the front. Then it was deeply embedded in the chest cavity of the bloody corpse behind. This duel seemed to have no real beginning and end at all, and all the blood beasts besieging the barbarians instantly fell into a momentary distraction, and it seemed that even these bloodthirsty monsters were shocked by the unparalleled power of the barbarians.
But the barbarian offensive did not end there. The thick arm shook suddenly, and the iron chain held in the palm of his hand made a stirring arc in the air, and all the dirty blood stuck to it was instantly dispersed, and with this huge force, the giant axe that was originally embedded in the chest cavity of the bloody corpse slammed. Shaken back into the air!
The next moment, a frantically swirling cold light suddenly appeared in the besieging battle circle, and the giant axe chained by the barbarians was swept into the air by the barbarians, roaring and sweeping towards the hordes of blood beasts. The heavy axes "buzzed" in the air, and the countless blood beasts were wrenched into a deadly whirlwind before they could let out a single wail. Their bodies were not cut off instantly, but were smashed directly by a rough axe, broken spines, broken bones, and splattered muscles...... Blood poured down like a torrent of rain on the main gravel road!
But the purpose of the barbarians is not just to kill a few blood beasts. The giant axe flying in the air suddenly changed direction and swept towards the bloody corpse in the lead. When there was a loud bang, the expected scene of flesh and blood flying did not appear, and the bloody corpse picked up his arm and directly knocked the giant axe away.
It was enraged, its cheeks twitching with minced flesh, and its crimson eyes were filled with bloodthirsty hideousness. The roar that suddenly erupted from the "Roar Roar ......" enveloped the entire battle circle, and the blood corpse led by him stared at the barbarian, roaring, summoning some unknown power.
The roar of the bloody corpses grew louder and louder. The barbarian withdrew his great axe and clenched it tightly in his hand. All of the Blood Beasts stopped their attacks, and they crouched backwards, letting out a low roar of awe. The barbarian's expression became more and more solemn. A tidal sense of crisis hit his whole body, trembling slightly.
Suddenly, the roar stopped at the highest syllable, and the other blood corpses standing behind them, along with the dozens of blood beasts around them, trembled and instantly exploded into gushing flesh and blood. The bloody corpse at the head smiled, and the gums exposed to the air were pulled by the white tendons, grinning in a terrifying way. It's like laughing at the insignificance of barbarians!
After that, the surging blood and minced flesh were dragged towards it by a mysterious force, and the crimson figure slowly rose into the air, hugging with the blood tide! The violent energy rolled up a suffocating scarlet wind and pressed towards the barbarian's body, and in mid-air, all the blood and minced flesh swirled and recombined at high speed, slowly forming a huge dark red figure! Finally, a creature with exposed muscles and bones fell to the ground with a thud, and the bloody corpse completed its final transformation!
The thick blood mist gradually dissipated, and when the barbarians saw their opponents in front of them, even the heroic Eric couldn't help but gasp—what kind of evil existence is this?! Even in the nightmare of midnight, there would never be such a terrifying demon!
The stench of ** eroded the surrounding air, and with the sound of loud footsteps, a mountain-like monster rushed out of the blood mist. It was immensely large, about the height of three or four adults, its body of minced flesh and stumps squeezing out disgusting blood with every movement, and a small, disproportionate head with its head bowed, its crimson gaze fixed on the savage in the distance. And the two spur-covered arms, like battering rams lifted into the air, slammed into the barbarian's head.
Swinging the axe to block, the back of the giant axe slammed into the monster's arm, bursting into a brilliant spark in the air. The barbarian was smashed directly out, and the huge force even caused the wounds on his body to spew out red blood arrows. Before he could regain his footing, the monster's attack followed him.
In an instant, a life-and-death battle broke out on the main road in front of the mansion that no one could interfere with, and the blood beasts withdrew from a large open space, as if worshipping the power of the flesh monsters. A series of deafening crashes exploded as the two figures collided together, and countless sparks flickered and dissipated into the air.
All the spirit of the monster was focused on the target it was trying to hunt, and its attacks were so fierce that it seemed that only the ridiculous courage to crush it with his own hands could satisfy its pleasure of killing. The barbarian, on the other hand, gritted his teeth, and with every step back, he remembered the surviving guards and servants of the mansion, and with every step back, he remembered the promise and responsibility of being the head of the guard.
The barbarian withstood one blow after another, and he raised his head with difficulty. I saw the axe blade that was blocking in front of me, flashing a hint of coldness. Suddenly, he froze, he remembered many years ago. The words he said when his father gave him this great axe when he died—the battle axe of the Eric, the blade is always forward!
I will always be a warrior, I will always be a son of Vadrak!!, the barbarian suddenly stopped his retreat and straightened his waist sharply, at this moment. The rushing blood turned into crimson fire, the monster's arms became forged hammers, and in the desperate situation of life and death, fire and sword, the barbarian flipped the blade of the axe, and shouted the eternal oath of the Eric against the falling arm above his head. "Die on the battlefield, I am glorious!"
"Boom ......"
With a loud thud that pierced through the clouds and cracked the stones, the barbarian's great axe met the monster's arm, and the furious force blasted from their side to all sides. The rubble under his feet was instantly lifted out. The two huge forces collided together, as if they were wrestling to the death, and they were fixed on the spot. The next moment, countless bursts of skyrocketing blood spurted out from the monster's right arm, and in its terrifying gaze, the battering ram-like arm exploded into pieces of splattered pulp!
Mechanically taking a few steps back, the monster staring at its severed arm seemed to have yet to react to what was happening, but the barbarian roared and rose to its feet, slashing at its head with a great axe. "Give me—die!" the great axe made a bright arc and smashed into the flesh of the monster! like a stone hammer smashing a piece of butter. The monster's entire upper body was instantly split into pieces of broken flesh with a muffled sound, and it sprayed all over the ground mixed with pitch-black dirty blood.
The battle is over...... Everything fell silent, and even the roars of the remaining blood beasts were gone. The barbarians stood in the cold night wind. Like a god forged by blood, death, and rage.
The crimson sea retreated to give way to a large eerie clearing, and the demons, who followed the killing instinct, seemed to hesitate to continue with their master's orders, or retreat into the darkness behind them. The barbarian's gaze swept over the hideous and terrifying faces, and with a thud he pulled the great axe from the monster's corpse
At this moment, an explosion that tore through the eardrum diagonally drew the attention of the hunter and the prey. Tumbling flames poured out of the corners of the second floor of the mansion like beasts with teeth and claws, accompanied by a series of shattering of floor-to-ceiling windows. Countless fireballs mixed with flying pieces of wood and debris made a magnificent arc in the air, lighting up the night sky of the manor.
"Ma'am!" the barbarian snorted, and immediately thought of the seriousness of the problem - this was the location of the mansion's armory room, could it be that the second floor had already been attacked by blood beasts? or?...... His stunned didn't last long, as a bright lilac ball of light flew out of the room not far away, drawing a "Z" trajectory and smashing into the night sky outside the armory.
After that, with a round of bright purple ripples, the two entangled figures were suddenly swept outside the mansion, and the shrunken light spots became brighter and brighter, more and more dazzling, as if they were going to swallow everything that was dragged over. What's even more bizarre is that the barbarian found that the blood beasts beside him seemed to smell a deadly threat, and they all roared and retreated without looking back, and the open space where the barbarian was located grew larger and larger, and finally he was the only one left standing there.
On the other side, Harleye, who was falling rapidly, faced the words that suddenly popped out of No. 86's mouth, and even gave up the idea of continuing to attack. "What did you say?!" its voice was tinted with a tremor of fear, and its bright yellow eyes twitched, as if trying to see the blood-coated face.
I said...... You've been lurking in the manor for so long, and you haven't noticed, are hellflowers planted here......" 86 sarcastically, the syllables torn apart by the wind squeezed out of his mouth little by little, "Ionora's temptation......"
Ionora! Demons are all too familiar with this name, or the demons of the Burning Hell, there is no one who does not know the name of the Blood Queen, which is second only to the Demon God. And the "Scarlet Kiss", as the Blood Queen's favorite flower, is planted in her palace in her territory - blood is nourishment, whether angels, demons, or humans.
"This can't be! How can there be a Blood Queen flower here!" The demon struggled to get rid of the downward pressure of the flare field, but it was held by No. 86, and it was powerless to get out of its current predicament. "Let go of me! let me go!" Harleyer roared as he slammed his claws into Eightsix's back, but Eightsix's arms tightened tighter and tighter, without the slightest hint of relaxation.
"Boom!"
Two figures falling from a high altitude smashed into the flower beds outside the mansion, and large white petals were swept up by the strong wind, swirling, and flew into the air. No. 86 bounced up and fell, and finally looked up at the night sky and lay down in a sea of flowers. This was his original plan, to run to the armory room, not for an ambush, not for the unknown elemental explosive powder, he thought about it from the beginning, with his own life, holding the demon, and going straight to hell.
"Look, it's up to you, Queen......" 86 said with a miserable laugh as a mouthful of blood poured out of his mouth. Maybe it was because of the call of No. 86, or the temptation of the fragrance of blood, the whole sea of flowers as white as snow moved! Countless transparent rhizomes broke through the soil like terrifying tentacles, and directly penetrated into the bodies of No. 86 and Harleye, who was struggling to climb out, and the dark red blood flowed out of the hollow rhizomes and poured out of the earth. The Scarlet Kiss waited for her meal, like a baby suckling milk, happily opening its budding buds.
The demon's screams stung 86's eardrums, and he bared his teeth with a look of displeasure. "Shit, damn it...... It even has a paralyzing effect...... Well, Mott's grocery-like head is new again......" he muttered and turned his head to look at the flowers next to him, nourished by the blood, the white petals gradually spread with crimson blood, like the haze on the glass in winter, the bright red was fainted little by little, and finally the scarlet glowed in the night. "Dining ...... Pleasant ......"
On the second floor of the mansion, Selena had been bitten by Mott and escaped, and she was holding on to the ruins of the armory room and looking at No. 86 who was laughing miserably, crying into tears. In a room not far away, Semar's eyes twitched, as if he was holding back tears that were about to burst out of his eyes. He didn't know why No. 86 had him release the Yaochang force field outside the house, but he did, and it was not the joy of victory, but the colicing in the depths of his soul.
The skull had already flown from 86's side, biting his neckline with his teeth and dragging it outward. "Boss, hold on! Get out right now! I'll drag you out right away! Hold on to me!" 86's body moved slowly, dragged by Mott, making a final struggle with countless rhizomes.
"Give up, Mott...... Ahem......" 86 shook his head, his soul was extremely weak, not the body he occupied, but the power contained in it, as a purifier. "I can't do it anymore...... Give it up...... Yes, by the way, this mission should be ...... Shouldn't it be considered a failure?...... haha" The pitch-black sky slowly moved above him, and Number 86 asked with a smile.
"Shut up! Shut up!" skull roared, teeth clenching into No. 86's collar, "You're my henchman, I won't let you die, you can't fucking die......!"
Before the skull could finish speaking, a dark black claw suddenly burst out of the flowers, clutching No. 86's ankle tightly!"Do you want to go! No, no, no, no, you'll stay, my husband, bury me!!" Harleye's rhizome-covered cheeks revealed a bright yellow eye. Anger, pain, hideousness, and even the fear at the end of life, all complex emotions are entangled, staring at No. 86 fiercely.
At this moment, a swirling black shadow mixed with a whistling sound of breaking the air slashed down! A pale cold light flashed, and with a muffled bang, the earth seemed to tremble. Star-shattering petals and pitch-black blood rose into the sky, and Harley wailed and raised his severed arm. In the stunned gaze of Number 86, a huge axe stained with blood slurred slanted into the dirt not far away, and the broken iron chain still shook itself at the end of the axe's handle.
