Claudius asked the air, and then a pair of scarlet eyes appeared in the darkness where he was staring.
A "wolf" wrapped in layers of hyphae poked out the sharp claws of its forelimbs from the darkness, but what was then revealed was Cesare's face. The mouth was split to the base of the ears, and the fangs stood randomly outside the lips. Cesare's eyes were devoid of any sense.
Cesare bent over and crawled on all fours like a wolf. The crack in his abdomen had not completely healed. Mycelium was attached to the two body parts and stuck to each other. The broken spine was replaced by a bone staff made of monster bones.
He circled cautiously around Captain Claudius, like he was considering food before hunting. There were no longer any human sounds in Cesare's mouth, but the threatening neighing of wild beasts. .
"Look who this is?" Captain Claudius said with a smile. "I'm glad to see you're still alive, young master, but I'm worried about you, um... But have you become one of them?"
Cesare did not respond, and could not respond to his question. He clenched his fangs viciously, stepped forward with his forelimbs, shaking all the hyphae all over his body, and then kicked his hind legs so that he flew out. He opened his bloody mouth toward Claudius's head.
The speed was very fast, but Claudius' reaction was faster. He sideways avoided Cesare's flying attack and then stepped back to avoid several claw strikes after landing. "Ah, what a power!"
Claudius pressed his hat and squinted his eyes in joy. "Will this be the best ending performance? Is the savior finally coming...or is another devil inviting me to dance under the moon?"
After he stood firm, he used his whip to draw a mark on the ground in front of him, and then the whip mark began to ignite with fire, and the suddenly formed wall of fire instantly blocked Cesare's offensive.
The flames continued to spread, extending on the field like a python, and finally ignited the grass, and indirectly the surrounding trees. In almost a few seconds, the calm forest suddenly burst into flames, and the fire completely dispersed the heavy fog, and also This dark night is brightly illuminated.
Only the open space where they were was not affected by the flames, but turned into an oven using the entire forest as fuel. Even Claudius himself began to sweat under the scorching heat, but he still shouted excitedly. .
"Come on, come on! The next show is - the greatest fire ring of this century! Let's see if our little animals can survive!"
Although the fire did not completely burn the clearing, countless flames turned into poisonous snakes and crawled out from the burning forest in the direction of Cesare.
For a time, the hissing sound of snakes was heard endlessly. Cesare wanted to make a quick decision and bite Claudius's throat, but he couldn't do it. Those fire snakes had become the leader's best cover.
To run, Cesare could only run in the open space without flames, but the fire snakes were chasing after him and they were still increasing, and Claudius didn't need to get close to Cesare at all.
He waved his whip and all the flame snakes obeyed his instructions, opening their mouths one by one to bite Cesare's hind legs.
At the moment when he was about to be overtaken by the flames, Cesare used his excellent jumping ability to get over the flames, waving his claws and pounced on Claudius again.
He jumped high enough that the flames crawling on the ground could not harm him at all, and he jumped far enough to tear Claudius's face apart.
Claudius didn't seem to react this time. He stood still and just took off his top hat. The hat twirled in his hand and then suddenly pointed the brim at Cesare.
A fire snake suddenly jumped out of the dark hat and bit Cesare in the air with its fangs.
There was no time to dodge in the air. The moment the fire snake bit Cesare's forelimb, the flames spread all over his body.
In just a moment, Cesare turned into a screaming fireball in the air. The hyphae on his body struggled to dry up under the high temperature. As the screaming gradually disappeared, Cesare's body also followed. Melted by high temperatures.
And Claudius just turned his body slightly and let the flames fall heavily on him.
When the flames burned out, only a human-shaped charred body remained on the ground, motionless.
"It seems that our little animal has failed. What a pity." Claudius stepped forward and kicked the huddled Heitan with his boot.
"I was indeed wrong to leave without saying goodbye, so I solemnly ask you now, can I sell your dear little girlfriend for money? If you don't say anything, it will be taken as an agreement."
As soon as the boots were removed, the char that had just been stepped on began to fall off, revealing the squirming hyphae underneath. Claudius felt something was wrong, frowned and stepped back quickly.
The human-shaped charcoal first cracked a gap, and the sharp claws tore apart the charred shell. Countless mycelium rose from the surface again and attached to Cesare's body. The roaring "hungry wolf" broke through camouflage.
When the opponent didn't react, he jumped up into the air and hugged Claudius's body, biting the opponent's shoulder, causing blood to flow out.
Claudius screamed in pain, and then his eyes no longer had any smile but showed murderous intent. He used his hands to pull Cesare off of himself with all his strength.
The moment Cesare was thrown out, he made another grab, hitting Claudius's face directly, leaving three bloody mouths and cutting off the red scarf, revealing Claudius' mysterious face. .
A handsome man's face actually has a mouth with rabbit lips. There is a frightening natural cleft in the middle of his upper lip, forming three lips like a rabbit. Because there is no way to completely close it, only two of them are exposed. A front tooth.
Claudius touched his face. The blood flowed from his fingers. He didn't care at all. Instead, he touched his exposed natural flaws and became angry.
Then he looked at the wound on his shoulder. Under the marks of a row of fangs, not only was blood spurting out, but also hyphae were squirming...
"You dare to lie to me...you dare to lie to me!" Claudius yelled, twitching the whip in his hand to make the surrounding flames burn more intensely. The burned trees collapsed one after another, and the fire spread like crazy throughout the forest. spread at a rapid pace.
Cesare didn't care about his anger. Mycelium was constantly repairing his burned wounds. Cesare lowered his body again to prepare for further attacks.
"You are all like this. You always think that you are a hero and you want to stop this madman like me..."
Claudius became hysterical. He clenched his fists and no longer vented his emotions calmly.
"Look at me kid... I'm just like you, I just want to take back what belongs to me. Where did I go wrong? People who really deserve to die will never have to consider the situation like you and me. What crime am I guilty of? And you have become like this, and you still want to kill me, you are just flattered."
