Volume I: Chapter 97: A Fight to the Death
The bloody scene was terrifying to watch, Anya was really frightened at this time, she was worried that Cesare would kill herself like this, but there was no way at all, the girl trembled helplessly, but even the strength to raise her arm had been exhausted.
She tried to keep calling Cesare's name to bring him back to consciousness, but the voice was muffled by the monster's roar not far away.
The monster suddenly raised its head, blood spilling out from the corners of its mouth, and roared angrily at the sky in desperation.
"Claudius...!!" There was a burning anger in his voice, and he roared and tore more mycelium and flesh from himself.
Soon the white bones could be seen exposed to the air, and it continued to roar, as if it could see something that Anya couldn't see.
"You old liar! I'm not going to fall for you again!! ”
The golden light in the monster's eyes gradually dimmed, and the voice was much clearer than before, and even the familiar tone from Cesare could be faintly heard.
But before Anya could figure out if it was a good thing, the crazy monster ran towards the girl again.
The mycelium on its body has decreased a lot under the constant self-abuse, and it has gradually taken on a human form, but its movements have also become very uncoordinated.
Each limb seemed to carry out its own command, and each joint writhed in a different direction, like a blind lion rushing towards Anya.
It was still fast, and in the blink of an eye, it came to Anya with its right claw, sharp as a knife eager to gouge out Anya's eyes.
And at the critical moment, the monster's own left claw suddenly pressed the wrist of the right claw, as if two arms were controlled by two different souls, refuting each other.
And the left arm was also suddenly exerted at this time, and a crisp sound of broken bones was heard in an instant.
The right claw that wanted to hurt Anya drooped weakly, the joint bent at an impossible angle, and the bones of the entire arm were broken in an instant.
However, when Cesare dragged his uncontrolled body back into the clearing, the mycelium surged up the broken arm again, repairing the fracture and reactivating the arm again.
The girl was as helpless as a bird with a wounded wing, and could only watch Cesare struggle between trying to hurt herself and self-harm.
He kept shouting Claudius's name, each time in a vicious tone.
But there are no outsiders around at all, is that circus director really alive? Anya couldn't figure it out, and she didn't know what was going on in Cesare's eyes.
The mycelium on the monster's body became less and less under the merciless self-mutilation, and slowly took on a human form from the previous beast appearance.
The ripped off mycelium tried to crawl towards Cesare's body again, but then it was torn off by the cruel flesh of the belt.
"I... No, you don't... You liar! Gotta help! Cesare gritted his arm with his fangs and tugged hard in the direction of his shoulder, a layer of fleshy mycelium being roughly stripped from his arm.
Even the belt meat was bitten in the mouth and chewed into a mud with resentment, and then spit on the side.
It stared at the air menacingly, its ears pricked up as if listening to someone, and then retorted sharply.
"Don't act like you know me well! My sister isn't here at all...... How long are you going to fool me with this trick!? ”
Cesare spun around in the clearing he had destroyed, as if something Anya's insightful was circling around him, and Cesare was staring at it, communicating with it and making enemies of it.
"I killed you Claudius once!"
Cesare yelled at his hallucinations, and continued to ravage his skin with a bite, until the cloak he had worn before and was now wrapped in mycelium had been dug out in bloody fashion.
Biting his ten fingers, he wiped off the flesh constructed by the mycelium on them, leaving the ten silver rings to sparkle in the moonlight again.
"I can ...... too," Cesare said in a choked voice, not knowing who to speak.
More mycelium spread out from the depths of his body, and Cesare could only temporarily suppress his voice, focusing on tearing at his skin.
The amplitude is getting bigger and bigger, and the mycelium wrapped around his body is becoming more and more ferocious, and the mycelium wrapped around his body even makes a "hissing" sound, as if he is screaming in panic.
Some of the mycelium twisted into vines and sprang out of Cesare's body, binding Cesare's hands in an attempt to get him not to hurt himself again.
But in just a moment, the vine was torn apart and withered.
Gradually, the speed at which he peeled the mycelium from his body far exceeded the speed at which the mycelium could reproduce, but his body was about to become a "skeleton" that exposed all his organs in the process.
But at the same time, Cesare's consciousness became clearer.
The remaining mycelium in his body desperately tried to restore the mutilated wounds caused by Cesare's self-abuse, and could no longer do his best to suppress Cesare's incessant struggle.
Only at this moment, the mycelium brought by those infections is not so much controlling Cesare as desperately busy saving him,
Or in order to avoid the death of the host, they are desperately trying to save themselves.
Even so, Cesare gritted his teeth and refused to give up, he was fighting against the mycelium and even more against the phantom in his mind, turning the pain into more anger, and continued to roar at the air.
"I can kill you again! Claudius! You deserve to be a villain. Shut up now! ”
Naturally, Anya could not imagine what kind of pain Cesare was suffering at this time, and she fully understood how impossible it was that he was accomplishing.
Having tried her best and not knowing how to help Cesare at this time, Anya was scared, afraid that Cesare would not be able to hold on, but at the same time she didn't want to see Cesare lose herself again covered in those mycelium......
The girl couldn't see what was floating in the air, she couldn't see that the evil devil was appearing in all directions repeatedly, chattering endlessly in Cesare's mind.
He appeared in front of Cesare and on the back out of thin air, the only constant being his squinting eyes and the misshapen care lips that loomed under the scarf.
Captain Claudius's voice echoed in Cesare's head, and the suffocation of breathlessness far outweighed the torment of self-harm.
"Why are you doing this, young master? As I said, I'm here to help you. ”
The smirking man in the veil grinned in Cesare's hallucinations, no matter how hard Cesare tried, he couldn't hurt him in the slightest, he was just a shadow, a shadow that Cesare couldn't touch.
But Cesare seems to have found a way to deal with him, though it doesn't sound like it sounds, or it doesn't sound like it's executed.
It's a big deal, as long as you're dead...... These mycelium will naturally die without a host, and with these annoying hallucinations, don't even think about keeping any of them, and they will all be buried together.
"You'd better help yourself!" Cesare was determined to fight to the death against all illusions.
