Chapter 1428: Chapter 1426: Defeat
Responsible for [Overall Restriction] of Miss Helen, Hop and Hyde Darius.
Surprised by the sudden retreat of the turbid fluid, after all, the enemy’s damage amount had not yet reached the set limit.
At the same time, a strange scent wafted from where Kite was located, Hop, once a resident of Scarlet Manor, was extremely familiar with this smell.
“Is this… the unique scent of the ghouls in the manor? Has Nicholas arrived?
That’s good! Kite’s condition is completely different from before, being able to restrict him in advance can also prevent subsequent uncontrollable situations, leave the rest to us.”
Knowing that Han Dong’s support had arrived, Hop also felt a surge of fight spirit.
‘Titan’s Roar’
The roar formed several layers of visible shockwaves, completely incapacitating individuals within a ten-meter radius as machine oil spilled out of their bodies.
Located on another street, Miss Helen could clearly observe through plant perception the Ghoul Army that kept emerging at the ‘crossroads’ and Han Dong, who had come to provide support.
“These things… are ghouls?”
She had also tried in the Witch’s House to assemble and enhance low-rank demons, but compared to the ghouls before her, they were completely not on the same level.
Helen’s role was originally to use plants to restrain the enemy forces, she is now lying leisurely inside a building, keenly observing this peculiar Ghoul Army.
Another street block
Hyde Darius was somewhat displeased with Kite’s transformation.
“The restart of the Land Deed just blocked some kind of connection between the enemy machinery and the outside world, and Kite’s ‘digestion’ has just begun… If we could just delay for another ten minutes, the enemy’s numbers could be reduced by 50%.
Why block it ahead of time?”
Hyde’s long face showed great dissatisfaction, intending to go check out Kite’s situation.
However, due to the retreat of the turbid fluid, a large number of regenerated enemies were blocking his way… Some machinery even resisted the contamination erosion with their own program consciousness, gaining a tentacle trait originating from Kite.
“What could have been resolved easily had to be made so troublesome.”
Palm with a webbed structure comes together, as an ‘Enchanted’ Hyde is borrowing the power of the oldest forces from the deep sea.
A sort of majestic shadow appears behind Hyde, in a form like a ‘shadow obscured by a water curtain’.
“Deep Sea Magic: Ancient Call”
Snap! Palm hits the ground.
Layers of invisible ripples spread outwards.
Whoosh whoosh~ In every cracked area, whether it is the streets, buildings, or even the surface cracks of trash bins, a large amount of sea water gushes out.
Replacing the recently retracted mistaken liquid, covering the current and nearby streets.
Following that, the ground trembled.
Giant deep-sea tentacles with suction cup features and hook-like structures started growing wildly throughout the streets covered with sea water, the longest of which stretched nearly a hundred meters.
Slapping, sucking, winding
Even the tentacles extended out circular-toothed large mouths, rapidly digesting targets in stomachs full of acid and deep-sea parasites.
Hyde watches the ‘beautiful scenery’ in front of him with a satisfied smile.
Plunge!
Hyde dives into the sea water with a very standard form, leaving only a structure resembling a shark fin protruding behind his back, swimming at high speeds through the streets.
This area-wide move was very effective against low-rank enemies.
But enemies on the level of ‘Opening the gate’ could still cope with it, and many tentacles were getting cut off.
When Hyde was nearly at the crossroads where Kite was located.
A creature completely covered in black and full of black fur flashed by his side, its spine bearing a kind of piston-like metal column that pulsated rhythmically with the movement of the individual.
The black-haired individual collided with one of the enemy’s Terminators.
Incredibly, the hardness of its body was greater than that of metal, and the Terminator was smashed out of shape.
What was even more eerie was, the apparently human-form beast seemed also to be proficient in [Kung Fu] from the East, with various strikes being very clever, greatly improving the efficiency of killing enemies.
“Is this a ghoul?”
Hyde smells a low-rank creature’s scent, though the black hard skin and fur differ from the ghouls’ gelatinous skin, but it looks just like a ghoul, and its core is the most low-rank Different Demon Species.
Following that.
A winged ghoul swept across the sky.
It could actually spit out a highly lethal black energy from its mouth, which made Hyde freeze on the spot.
Though fewer in number than the enemy, the ghouls were not at a disadvantage at all.
“Hyde, use this Ghoul Army to thoroughly eliminate the enemy forces… it’s about time to put an end to this game.”
Sally’s telepathic message interrupted Hyde’s shock.
While showing his agreement, Hyde also curiously asked, “Where did these ghouls come from?”
“This is from my old… friend.
You should have seen them! These Ghouls are the results of his years of research, combining the superior traits of different creatures from various worlds while retaining the basic attribute of [Demon].”
“So it was him.”
Hyde’s impression of Han Dong was profound, first because of Han Dong’s identity as Bishop of the Night, and second because Han Dong possessed the same Void Attribute as Pope… Although far inferior in the Void Dimension to Pope, for an ‘outsider human’ to have mastered it without a teacher was quite impressive in Hyde’s view.
Not to mention, Han Dong also had a scent of the Deep Sea about him.
When Hyde looked his way, Han Dong also gave him a friendly look.
Given that, Hyde decided not to question further why the plan was interrupted and instead joined forces with Han Dong to fight the enemy.
…
East London, at the edge of the City Wall area.
Just beyond that lies the edge of the Barrier.
“Infernal Scorched Earth” has replaced the urban buildings here, and the more Marlon fights, the more he fully transforms into the Hell King… Holding the “Ulsatom Tyrant (Empire)” in his hand, there is a sense of oppression that desires to tear everything apart.
The Beheading King’s legs have been subjected to the “Soul Reaping” by the Death God and cannot heal anymore nor exercise the power of ‘legs’.
Her upper body is completely restrained by Marlon.
One hand grasps the essence of Beheading King – the Flowing Light Orthodox Sect, the other hand holds the Tyrant’s great sword above her head.
[17 minutes and 31 seconds]
Almost twice the anticipated duration.
Although at the beginning, due to the issue of Beheading King injuring Shaia, Marlon’s fury rose to the extreme.
But as the prolonged battle went on, while the fury still existed, there wasn’t much annoyance and hatred left.
Instead, he acknowledged Beheading King’s ‘Swordsmanship’.
“You are truly strong… It’s a pity. If you were also one of our humans, we could have frequently exchanged moves in the future.”
Conversely,
the extremely pure Beheading King who reduced everything to [Slash] also recognized Marlon’s strength.
Among equals, individuals like Marlon who could withstand her multiple chop strikes were truly rare… Even the highly defensive Black Dragon couldn’t manage it.
“I’ve lost.”
Beheading King was well aware of the situation in front of her.
As the Barrier in London reopened and Makoms City fell to a terrifying energy, she knew the war had strayed from their planned course.
Having acknowledged her defeat, without any hesitation… Whoosh!
Beheading King personally sliced through her own body.
The “Flowing Light Orthodox Sect” stood upright on the ground and through the tremors of the blade’s body, it uttered its last words:
“I have executed countless masters and collected their swords, which hold their convictions and determination, to carry on in their stead with the obsession [Behead Enemies].
Since I have been defeated by you, please take this ‘Flowing Light Orthodox Sect’.
As for the consciousness inside me, with your power, it should be easy to erase.”
“Hmm?”
Marlon was initially surprised.
He then understood Beheading King’s idea and picked up the Samurai sword embedded in the ground.
It seemed light but carried the ‘heavy sins’ of slaying countless enemies; it looked ordinary but represented the pure essence of a king.
Suddenly, an aura of death swept over him.
“Marlon, let me reap their consciousness…”
Who knew.
Marlon abruptly stopped Alex who was beside him.
“Oh, it’s fine! As long as you don’t say anything and I don’t, those other Demons won’t know that this Beheading King’s consciousness is still alive… Such a fine sword shouldn’t lack autonomous consciousness.
There are many mischievous Succubi in Hell, but in the end, they all submitted to me.
Let this Beheading King stay inside… Haha! Alex, are you a bit jealous?”
Tch!
The Death God truly didn’t want to bother with Marlon but acknowledged his point and abstained from continuing the death harvesting motion.
Following that, Marlon inscribed a series of hellish inscriptions on the sword’s body.
“Thank you…”
After a wave of sound from Beheading King, there was no struggle. She let the hellish inscriptions bind her consciousness willingly…
