Chapter 334.
Chapter 334 – Going for it
A sound jumping slash, condensing the cold wind of the north and the thunderous power from the storm, with a certain pleasure of releasing pressure, Vanna’s body leaped high, a cold ice blade had already surfaced in the virtual grip of both hands, and in the cool glow of the World’s Creation, the blade was slashed down violently.
The air was torn apart, and the nearby airflow produced a high heat distortion in the violent impact, and when the blade was halfway down, it even began to present a plasma texture, such as a blazing flame entangled in the cold ice cohesion of the blade, this strange scene of ice and fire intertwined was so bizarre and magnificent that the demonic cultists froze for a moment.
For this Annihilation Magus, this should have been a successful sneak attack, he discovered the uninvited guest in advance and utilized the power of the magic spell to conceal his own aura, and his highly symbiotic demonic body even allowed him to completely stop his breathing and heartbeat within a short period of time – however, this should have been flawless concealment was somehow exposed, causing the target to be alerted. The target’s vigilance was aroused.
What should have been prey had now become a beast of prey – and a beast with more power than he had expected.
The huge blade wrapped with huge power smashed down, the Annihilation Magus could not counterattack in a hurry, and only let out a strange and shrill whistling with all his strength, which was compressed with a powerful magic spell, and layers and layers of black bone plates and rock-like shields instantly blocked Vanna’s downward route from all sides, and at the same time, the profound demon made of jagged bone fragments piled up and piled up also blocked in front of his master under the drive of the contract, and rushed at Vanna, and then the demon was driven by the contract, which was also driven by the contract. At the same time, the profound demon made of jagged bone fragments, driven by the contract, also blocked in front of its master and opened its mouth in the direction of Vanna, ready to send out a powerful corrosive spit.
Only then did the skeleton demon’s form fully coalesce from the shadows – it was a Profound Hound, even larger than Dog.
Vanna had no intention of slowing down or dodging at all.
“Boom!”
A loud crash broke the night’s silence, interspersed with a series of toothsome, sharp, ear-piercing ripping noises.
With a single jumping slash, Vanna smashed the energy barrier and rock shield summoned by that Profound Magus, along with the corrosive spit emitted by the Profound Hound and half of that demon’s dog’s head, piece by piece, into a sky full of debris.
The shockwave swept across the alley like an astral wind, clearing the dust and smoke in an instant, the Profound Hound with only half of its head left whistled and flew backwards, the Symbiotic Chain and the Annihilation Magus also flew out a dozen meters, and they rolled on the ground together for a long time before stopping, and then struggled to get up.
The Heretic Magus with his twisted and mutated body shook violently, the shock from the symbiotic demon’s severe injury made it difficult for him to think – the deformed body hunched up in the dimness, and for a while it was even hard to tell which one of them was a demon, and which one used to be a human, he or the Profound Hound next to him.
And the Spectral Hound next to him staggered to its feet, the demon’s powerful life force holding it from dying despite having half of its head sliced off, and it let out a chaotic, low growl in Vanna’s direction, while pieces of damaged bone crackled and continued to fall from its body.
Vanna walked forward expressionlessly, casually throwing away the cold ice longsword that had already been torn apart in the impact.
This thing was supposed to be disposable, it was made for a nice full jumping slash, and now its mission was accomplished.
The Annihilation Magus on the opposite side barely lifted his head, desperately trying his best to regain consciousness, and let out an obscure and difficult demonic whisper from his mouth.
The power of the spell coalesced into shape, and a twisted mass of bone and rock mixed with the power of corruption emerged from the air in front of him and whizzed towards Vanna like a cannonball.
Vanna raised her hand and grabbed the “cannonball”, ignoring the smoke that quickly rose from her palm, she quickly stepped forward without slowing down at all, and with her other hand, she grabbed half of the head of the seemingly stunned Profound Hound, and casually stuffed the “Corruption Missile” into the demonic creature. The other hand grabbed half of the head of the Profound Hound, which seemed to be a bit stunned, and casually shoved the “Corruption Missile” into the gaping hole in the demon’s neck cavity, which was exposed due to the missing head.
The demon instinctively struggled violently, but the force that could overturn a steam tank could not shake Vanna’s arm, and the remaining half of its head was torn off by itself in the struggle, and the “Corruption Missile” that had been summoned by its own power was already stuffed into its own stomach by Vanna! –The layers of bone in the demon’s body made a crisp, continuous cracking sound, and then quickly filled with bright flashes of light.
Vanna kicked the demon, which was about to blow itself up, and then yanked the Annihilation Cleric next to her, holding him up like a shield.
The latter didn’t even react to what was happening in the lightning fast encounter.
With a loud bang, the kicked Spectral Hound exploded violently in mid-air, skeletal fragments ravaging the alley like the broken pieces of a cannonball, and the Annihilation Magus in Vanna’s hand was instantly shattered into a sieve.
But he wasn’t dead yet, only curling up in spasms of intense and swift pain.
The entire exchange was brief.
“Your symbiotic demon is dead, and based on the level of mutation in this body of yours, you now have about six minutes of life left,” Vanna casually threw the cult cleric to the ground and lifted her foot on the suspected location of his head, “I know that guys like you would never give up half a word even if you were left alive, but I still decided to give it a try – you have three minutes to deliver your last words, which will determine how you die for the other three minutes.”
On the other hand, Alice, who had stayed at the entrance to the alley, was even less responsive – she just watched wide-eyed as Vanna crackled with an enemy that came out of nowhere, smashing something ugly that looked like a distant relative of Dog in the process, and then the assailant seemed to be on the verge of hanging.
Not sure what happened, but apparently Vanna was strong.
So Ms. Mannequin cheered up and clapped her hands vigorously, “You’re awesome, Ms. Vanna!”
And in that moment, she seemed to have forgotten that there were actually a few “strings” floating under the streetlight diagonally across the street.
The air near the entrance of the alley distorted for a moment. A second assailant hid in the shadows.
Vanna’s encounter with the obliterating cleric had been too swift, and things in the alley had unfolded beyond the assailant’s judgment, and the obliterating cleric’s associates had not had time to rescue them – and now this second cultist in hiding had just arrived, but at the wrong time.
With a distortion of the air, a short but robust figure appeared near Alice, who arrived in a hurry, only to see Vanna deep in the alley already stomping her foot on the head of that Annihilation Magus.
The cultist froze, looking up at the brutal sight inside, and then at the blonde woman next to him who had just reacted and was casting a curious look on her face.
In the next second, the short, robust man twisted his head and ran without the slightest hesitation.
But just as he ran out two steps, he heard a voice coming from behind him, “Hey! You wait!”
He suddenly felt as if something had yanked him – the dragging force acted on all of his joints, causing him to come to a standstill as if he was being pulled by a huge force.
The cultist turned his head in surprise and fear, and he saw black smoke rising in the air beside him, and the Ethereal Demon that he had shared his life with seemed to be trying to struggle to show up and fight back, but it never took shape as if it was being pressed into the shadows by something, and he continued to turn his head to see that the woman with the long, blonde hair and long dress was looking at her, her hand stretched out in mid-air as if invisibly grasping at something.
“Don’t go yet,” Alice grabbed the Thread and stared at the cultist who was about to run away, trying to make her expression a little more intimidating, “The captain said that you guys are bad people, and you can’t just let go! –you’ll go on to harm others.”
Not far away, the Annihilationist who had just run out of the alleyway stalled in mid-air in a weird and ridiculous position, his head already turned back to a terrible angle, he looked fearfully at the blonde woman at the entrance of the alleyway, and under the instinct of the will to live, it seemed that he broke free from the “dragging” feeling a little bit, and immediately flicked his wrist with all his might.
A piece of rune paper, prepared in advance, slipped out of his sleeve.
“Choose life …… and devour ……”
He let out a voice with difficulty, and an obscure demonic whisper was mixed in his throat. The magic spell that had been stockpiled in advance was activated, and the piece of runic paper burst into flames before it hit the ground, and began to seek out the target of the attack according to its owner’s orders.
Everything living within a certain range.
The piece of runic paper quickly burned away in the flames, and nothing happened.
The cultists stared at the scene with wide eyes, horrified and incredulous.
Alice, who was not far away, also stared at the scene with wide eyes and confusion.
She was neither breathing nor had a heartbeat.
And had no idea what was happening.
But she quickly reacted with hindsight – it seemed that the cultist had just tried to kill himself.
A little scared, she tugged on the “thread” in her hand, “The captain said I have to protect myself when I go out.”
The cultist’s body instantly stiffened completely, and the little “freedom” he had just gained from breaking free was completely stripped away, even his wrists and lips could no longer move, a strange numbness began to gradually spread, and he felt that his body was rapidly becoming stiff, cold, and becoming …. …no longer like flesh and blood.
The world in his eyes darkened down.
But in the next second, something seemed to emerge from that darkness.
A hollow, low voice, as if coming straight from his chest, reached his ears –
“Ah, here comes the new squire.”
