Bang!

Explosions rang out.

The clearing next to the cave shook, and a rain of blood fell through the air.

The dead skin flew backwards and crashed into a pine tree, falling to the ground in the falling pine needles, revealing a headless corpse that had been honeycombed by shrapnel and emitted black smoke.

The M26 grenade detonated inside its body destroyed most of its chest and abdomen, a large hole ran through its chest and back, and its right and left legs were missing, and it wriggled to the ground like a snake with its bones removed.

Not far from the opposite side of the dead skin, Dean sat down against the wall and was also miserable, his chest and abdomen were charred black, mixed with countless fragments on his body and face, turning into a bloody "hedgehog".

It was as if a hundred bees were stuffed in his ears, buzzing at the same time, and his brain was so dizzy that it felt like it was about to explode.

Dean opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood foam mixed with fragments of internal organs, and forced himself to endure the severe pain and condense his thoughts to dissolve the mimic.

Bone-chilling sourness.

The shrapnel, gravel, plant debris, and healed flesh in the wound were forced to the ground, and the pitted, charred skin was visibly smooth and white.

He instinctively stuffed the energy bar into his mouth to replenish the energy consumed, and opened his swollen and bloodshot eyelids, and saw that not far away, beyond the blood-colored circle outlined by Jesse, the Tsz siblings stared at a black statue like a demon, a large amount of blood appeared in their round eyes, the muscles of their cheeks, each finger trembled slightly, and clear traces of water flowed down their calves.

It's as if they've seen something horrible and scared!

The first glance at the statue showed a strong stinging sensation on Dean's face, hands, neck, and exposed skin that had been corroded by chemicals, and a large goosebump appeared.

Instinctively, he lowered his head and closed his eyes, and then a flower in front of him entered a faint void with a dark background, and a humanoid silhouette clearly emerged in the faint light, a statue with wings on its back.

The statue's eyes sparkled, and it strode towards him with a stiff and eerie stride, click, click, and a crisp sound of knees, ankles, and shoulder joints with each step.

With each step, its form disappeared from Dean's front line of sight, teleporting in another direction beyond its line of sight, and let out a rustling sneer.

Dean desperately looked around, searching for the statue.

But it's always a beat slower, and you can only hear strange sounds approaching.

An indescribable sense of fear arose in his heart.

If you touch it, you'll die!

Bang!

Suddenly, Dean was in front of his eyes, and the tormenting hallucination vanished like a shattered mirror.

The light returns.

Dean looked around, and the Tsz siblings fainted quietly on a lawn.

On the other side, hundreds of black-haired rats gathered under the statue, chirping, carrying the base of the statue and slowly walking towards the circle where Jesse was.

But almost every moment a rat could not withstand the pressure of the statue, and the inflated balloon crackled and exploded into a pulp.

Splatters of flesh stained the surrounding mud and plants, and bounced onto the statue, only to be bounced off by an invisible film.

"Imbrio... Soloruth... Nakas..."Jesse in the circle waved his hands at the statue, shouting incantations one after another, obscure sounds echoing through the air.

The invisible wind blew, blowing her slightly curly black hair straight like an electric shock, and she was subjected to intense stimulation, wisps of blood oozed from her eyes, ears, mouth and nose, and the blood drew a bright red and complex pattern on her dark cheeks.

She looks like a female shaman of a primitive tribe!

The earth responded.

Circles of sand flew around her, translucent, snake-like ripples in the air around her, flying away from her body and converging around the statue, pushing it closer to the blood-red circle.

……

Do something.

Dean stood up and tried to summon Shadow, but his temples tingled, and his nearly exhausted mental power could not satisfy Shadow's consumption at all.

Bang!

At this moment, the ground shook, and streaks of black gas filled the statue, passing through the air and flying into the dead body that was almost shattered by the bomb under the pine tree.

It's magical.

The black qi flowed and changed shapes, recondensing its missing head, limbs, chest, abdomen, and wings, filling the original vacancy.

It staggered to its feet, and with a single move, the dark golden spear flew from among the vines of the rock wall in the distance into a new arm shrouded in black mist, it clenched the spear, bent slightly, and made a charged throwing motion aimed at Jesse in the distance, the air trembling under the cold gleaming spear tip.

Bang bang bang!

At the last moment, the gunshots rang out.

Several .44 Magnum struck Deadskin's spear-wielding right hand, knocking the spear to the ground.

Dead Skin turned his head to look at Dean who was shooting closer, his condensed eyes showed a hint of anger, one hand used as a shield to block the bullets, and the other hand picked up the spear and threw it again!

Whoosh –

The spear drew a straight line in mid-air and charged at the witch's back.

The human-faced rat standing on Jesse's shoulders and waving his hands and feet and tails, dancing weirdly and manipulating the rat swarm, suddenly stopped his movements and jumped down to Jesse's back with a scream.

Hmmm-

The sharp spear pierced it through the heart, slicing it in half from the middle, but the force of its dying burst deflected the spear, and the spear grazed Jesse's denim coat and stabbed into the ground beyond the circle.

Only half of the body of the human-faced rat was lying on the ground, with deep attachment and reluctance, and finally glanced at Jesse who was bleeding and tearful, and the lips and beard on the little old man's face trembled twice...

Hosts, hosts.

Twitter...

I'll go first.

……

The spell continues!

Seeing that the blow missed, Dead Skin leaped into the air with a flutter of wings, and flew towards Jesse, stopping her ritual with all his might!

But halfway through the flight, another figure swooped down from the side, grabbed it by the waist and knocked it to the ground, crushing it underneath it.

Dean raised the axe blade and aimed it at the dead skin's head, and the blade that easily pierced through the ghost armor cut off half of its head in an instant, and the black mist was hit hard, unable to condense again for a while.

Dead Skin screamed in pain, and with a thrust of both hands, a tremendous force erupted in Dean's chest, knocking him backwards like a speeding car, landing on a pile of rubble.

Dean straightened up with a carp, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, clenched the M1900 with his left hand, picked up the axe blade with his right hand and wrapped it around again.

The endless bullets hit the black mist swirling on the right side of the dead skin with precision, completely dispersing its new right leg, and its body staggered unbalanced.

Dean took the opportunity to pounce on the dead skin's back, wrapped his legs around its waist, wrapped his left hand around its neck like a python and clasped his right hand, and swung the axe blade with his right hand to slash its neck, slashing the black mist unsteadily and faded.

Deadskin roared and vibrated its wings, and flew into the air with Dean, crashing into the rock walls of the cave, towering hundred-year-old trees, and rough ground, trying to throw him off his body.

And Dean is like a western cowboy riding a mad cow, and he won't let go!

He perfectly delayed the attack of the dead skin.

The statue was finally transported into the red circle by an invisible force.

……

Jesse stared at the blue-faced fanged face less than 20 centimeters away from her, and a hint of remembrance flashed in her eyes, and for a moment she felt as if she had gone back hundreds of years.

The immense pressure of the statue tore through her skin, and blood poured out of the countless cracks, completely staining her into a bloody person, and she seemed to feel no pain at all.

She waved her hands and shouted, the sound of the obscure incantation became louder and louder, like a thunderstorm exploding among the trees, falling leaves, dead branches and sand and gravel flying, and a gust of wind of magnitude nine blew in place, revolving around the statue, pulling up the green grass all over the ground, bending a row of thick pine trees, and lifting the dark statue in the center of the circle to a height of half a meter.

Jesse was also secretly tugged, and wisps of black mist escaped from his eyes, ears, mouth and nose, merging into the statue.

Jesse arched back, his eyes wide, his limbs twitching like a seizure, and he was still muttering a mantra.

"The Lord of Dread who sleeps in the Black Abyss...

"Nasre... Put away the black wings that obscure the sky..."

"End the ancient pact."

"Back to the place of beginning...

The sky darkened, and several muffled thunderbolts exploded in the air.

A piece of parchment floated out of Jesse's body, and the lines of golden handwriting on the paper were erased.

Her black hair quickly lost its luster, withered, and turned silvery-white.

The blood-stained skin on his face seemed to have passed decades in a short period of time, and the wrinkles like orange peel were visible to the naked eye.

The originally plump body was shriveled and emaciated by dehydration, and its body became rickety.

She's aging fast.

And it's not just Jesse who has changed!

In sharp pain like a broken bone, Dean felt the dead skin slamming into the cave wall like crazy, and struggled to slide off its back and fall to the ground, and when he looked up, he saw the dead skin floating strangely in mid-air, his limbs folded back.

An invisible force held it in place.

Extract a wisp of black smoke from its body and return to the black stone sculpture that is also suspended not far away.

The black cloak around the dead skin burned in the smoke, revealing an ugly body full of holes.

As the black smoke drained, its body cracked like weathered sandstone for many years, and before Dean could react, it shattered into a cloud of black sand and scattered into the storm.

There is no physical support.

The dead skin translucent soul was completely exposed to Dean's vision, and the invisible extraction was still not over.

Its body became more and more transparent and small, losing its bat-like wing membrane, its mouth full of sharp teeth like steel needles, and the arthropods on its face... His facial features gradually changed to normal human beings, and finally completely transformed into the appearance of the Catholic priest Abraham Morrow.

The man's soul was suspended in mid-air, and the violence, indifference, and cruelty in his eyes were gone, only remorse, pain, and the ocean-like fear of facing the statue.

Serving the devil is more terrifying than sinking into hell.

With the last of his strength, Abraham looked down pleadingly at Dean beneath him.

Dean couldn't tolerate the task goal in his hand being snatched away like this, his eyes sank, and the teardrop-shaped board was clenched in his hand.

Half-crouched, his legs were charged, he leapt from the ground, and smashed his board into Abraham's soul like a swinging pickaxe.

The invincible mysterious power has crossed the past.

Abraham's soul burst through holes, and pale blue flames poured out, engulfing it,

With a smile of relief, he calmly and serenely turned into burning pages, pieces withering and flying.

The undead evil that had survived for more than three hundred years, Abraham turned into ashes in front of Dean in an instant, leaving no trace.

A large number of bright red hints flashed before his eyes, and you have completely destroyed the body of the dead skin, Abraham Morrow.

"The Demon Who Drove the Truck" completion - 15 percent, you can withdraw your rewards at any time.

Mastery +50, Combat lv3 (340→390/400)... Activated by the Supernatural Hunter, you draw 2 Spirits, Spirits: 19.3→21.3. Your spirit has entered a higher stage, and you have attained new...

……

The torrent poured into Dean's body, filling his dry mental power.

Martial arts skills, countless novel ideas popped out of my mind uncontrollably.

The distant call echoed in my ears again—

North Athabasca, East Pisriver... The eternal Baphra is marked on you.

He shook his head violently, and in an instant, he re-summoned a "shadow" to envelop his body, and at the same time used his greatly increased telekinesis to carry out secondary protection.

But it was still not enough, the temple tingled intensely, and the warning of the sixth sense almost roasted his brain-

The extraction was interrupted.

The statue suspended in mid-air turned its face towards him, a pair of lifeless eyes locked on him.

Click.

A huge black shadow in the shape of a skull appeared above the ground, rushing towards Dean from beneath the statue.

The invisible force spread through the air like a wave, and the head opened its bloody mouth towards Dean, and spit out a tongue to wrap around his shadow, Dean couldn't move, only feeling that the telekinesis and ghost armor of the body protector were rapidly being consumed.

At the same time, a creepy and gloomy male voice sounded in his head - break the old contract and give your soul to sign a new one.

The tide of fear engulfed him, and the oldest part of his genes was completely aroused, and he couldn't help but shudder, and his face turned pale and broke out in a cold sweat... But thanks to the greatly strengthened mental strength and tenacious willpower, Dean and the statue were at a stalemate.

Buzz –

There was a strange rattle above them—the canopies of the trees parted humbly to the sides, revealing a gloomy sky.

A crack was torn open in the sky, and a huge friendless eyeball emerged from the crack, and the abyssal pupils turned to the stone sculpture on the ground.

In an instant, two mysterious and vast forces clashed in the woods!

Dean's mind sank, and the wind, sound, and light around him were frozen in absolute zero.

But after a breath.

Click.

The trees in a radius of 100 meters fell backwards in unison, cut into sections.

The space was as if it had been cut by countless sharp blades, revealing slender cracks one after another.

The black stone sculpture exploded and shattered into a large cloud of fine dust, which was swallowed up by these cracks and disappeared, leaving no trace.

It has been completely banished from this world!

The huge eyeballs in the sky retreated back behind the gap.

……

Across the trees, the smoke cleared, and the mysterious power faded like a tidal wave, leaving only the ground littered with blood, craters, spears, axes, and crossdarts to tell of the fierceness of the battle.

Call... Suck...

Soaked in sweat, Dean let out a long sigh of relief and clenched his fists, feeling the vigorous power in his body, and for the first time, feeling that being watched by Baffer was not all a bad thing.

But now is not the time to rejoice.

He quickly leaned over to the outside of the circle and checked the situation of the Cui Shi siblings, their breathing and heartbeat were normal, there were no obvious wounds, and they only fell into a coma.

And Jesse, the neurotic psychic lady who used to have a slightly fat figure and wore a tattered denim jacket, has changed beyond recognition.

Wrapped in a scarlet, tattered denim jacket, a scrawny corpse with no intact skin, like a mummy that had just been tortured, lay a human-faced mouse broken in two at its feet.

Every inch of ground beneath them was soaked in blood.

She seemed to feel the gaze of her gaze, her eyelids squirmed twice, and she opened her eyes without a trace of life with difficulty, and said in a weak tone,

"Dean... It's all over, right? ”

"We destroyed the statues, destroyed the dead skins, and cast the devil out of the world." Dean didn't feel dirty, he helped her up with both hands, and stared at the face that described horror, "It's all over, I'll take you to the hospital." ”

"I don't need it."

Jesse said in a staccato voice,

"Listen to my story."

"Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Maria, whose innocent mother was judged by the monks to be a witch who communicated with the devil, and was burned alive in the square."

Because of this ridiculous sentence, Maria began to find a true way to communicate with the devil, and after many hardships, she successfully signed a contract with the devil and became a real witch.

"The devil gave her the power to live almost immortally, sheltered her from the punishment of the Convergence Law, and helped her kill the enemy who burned her mother."

"But the power that comes easily comes always comes at a price, and she becomes more and more cold, cruel, evil, and dehumanizing under the influence of the devil, and she tortures countless innocent people, offering their fears to the devil as a sacrifice."

"She was also tormented by screams and wails, but she was reluctant to give life and protection from the devil, and was unwilling to face her true self."

"Until I met another monk, Abraham Moreau, who had a strong obsession, she transferred all the duties and restraints of the devil to the other party."

And she herself uses witchcraft to forget the past, from children to old people, and experiences new life again and again... She changed many names, Maria Hartmann, Carolina Hartmann... Maggie... Jessie. ”

There was a long pause in his voice, and Jesse's withered face began to quickly become transparent.

No matter how much she changes, she will never be able to shake off her connection with the devil and her minions. She's forever in a nightmare... Withstand... Myself... The iniquity of creation. ”

But in the midst of reincarnations, her humanity and conscience began to revive, and the bloodied sinner figured it all out and decided to end it all with her own hands... Dean, thank you for accompanying me on this last journey..."

Jesse looked at the clear sky again, and the corners of his mouth opened into a smile of relief and relief,

"Finally, never, never... Don't make a deal with the devil. ”

"Jesse... Jessie? Before Dean's eyes, her dark eyes lost their lustre, and her translucent body feathers flew into the air in pieces as light as feathers.

Dean reached out and touched the feathers lightly, but the slab in his palm did not heat up in the slightest.

He realizes that Jesse's soul is also shattered along with his physical body, and he is in ashes.

……

"Hmm..."There were two light snorts from the side, and the Cui Shi sisters and brothers woke up from their slumber, "Dean, are you okay, why are you covered in blood?" ”

"Don't worry, it's all monster blood."

"What about Ms. Jesse? And the rat-man! ”

Dean quietly put away the corpse of the human-faced rat, "They have left Bohao County and are traveling far away. ”

"What do you mean, buddy, let's be clear, Jesse saved our lives before, and we have to thank her! She just said goodbye without saying goodbye? ”

"She took your thanks." Dean turned to look at the two siblings and changed the subject, "Now, you only need to know one good news, the dead skin has been completely destroyed, and you don't have to worry about it from now on." ”

"Really? Whew, that's great, it's finally over this damn nightmare! Dean, let's go, come home with us, and I'll let Mommy cook you a good dish!" ”
