The burning flames illuminated the scene in the darkness, allowing the world to see the monster's face clearly, and then, it was caught in the flames.
The hot power exploded, forcibly igniting the bodies of the infected, causing considerable damage to them.
"It's bad."
As soon as he finished using the relic, Ethan felt dizzy, but his power was stronger than Yulia's, so he wouldn't faint like before.
"This relic has to be added to my blacklist. The side effects are too great."
Ethan muttered dissatisfiedly.
At this moment, the surviving infected roared threateningly, preparing to attack Ethan from the darkness on the side. Fortunately, Jiang Chenchuan had super accurate intuition and directly counterattacked with his sword. His quick and agile movements made it impossible for the opponent to get close to Ethan. .
The sharp sword blade directly cut off the opponent's head, carrying the burnt smell and the destroyed body, and was kicked into the darkness in the distance.
There was only one wailing sound, and then there was no sound.
When other infected people saw this situation, they didn't dare to step forward. Ethan also took this opportunity to slow down and glanced at the infected people around him, but they backed away in fear.
"Stranger...it's all because of you..."
A strange voice came from nowhere, and a dark figure was hidden in the darkness. When it heard its voice, the infected people around them retreated into the shadows.
It turns out that their actions are organized, and the infected person who speaks is like the alpha wolf of the wolf pack, so for them, it was just a collective hunting at night. If they had not met Jiang Chenchuan and Ethan, they would have been killed long ago. Eat thoroughly.
After a short silence, Jiang Chenchuan stood up and replied:
"right."
"I knew this day would eventually come."
The alpha wolf sighed, seeming to have determined a certain fate. Jiang Chenchuan raised his head and saw it slowly walking out of the shadows.
They look similar to other ordinary infected people, there is nothing special about them, but it is undeniable that those who look ordinary are not necessarily ordinary.
For example...Ethan.
It can feel that Jiang Chenchuan is a little different from others, so it doesn't have much hostility towards Jiang Chenchuan.
"What do you want to do?"
Perhaps, following the flow of fate would be the best choice.
"..."
Jiang Chenchuan didn't respond, and he didn't need to respond to the infected.
"It's none of your business. If you want to fight, fight. If you don't want to fight, just get out of the way."
It was Ethan who spoke impatiently first. The task that could have been completed quickly was delayed a lot of time by being intercepted by the infected.
"It seems... only one party can survive tonight."
The alpha wolf, the infected person, laughed softly. He kept retreating and returned to the shadows. The infected person who was ready to move in the darkness was also released at this moment.
Jumping sparks ignite in the darkness, accompanied by low roars and gunshots. It will be the final fight to the death. The scorching temperature fights against the cold wind, and the burning flames light up the place.
It was a right choice not to let Yulia act together. The roar of the infected will attract more infected, so it is best to fight quickly.
There were many infected people wailing in the flames. Jiang Chenchuan rushed forward, and Ethan drew a new magic circle behind him.
"Then let's try it."
Jiang Chenchuan waved his staff and sword with one hand and fired accurately with the other hand. Looking at the falling figures one by one, he felt an inexplicable feeling of joy welling up in his heart.
It's a fight to the death, it's survival, it's the final war.
Even the moon was scared, and secretly hid behind the dark clouds. Ethan exploded the infected person's body, and the flames burned on its body. He had to control the use of the relic, otherwise it would cause bad harm to his body. The impact is also a heavy burden.
The infected were wailing in pain. No one could withstand the burning of the flames, but they didn't know that even without the help of these props, they might not be able to defeat Jiang Chenchuan.
Jiang Chenchuan traveled all the way. His goal was clear. He was the leader of the infected who organized the attack. Only by crushing their brains would the remaining infected be no match for them.
With the help of Ethan's flames, no infected person had the intention to deal with Jiang Chenchuan, so with the blessing of the staff, sword and sword, he felt like he was in an uninhabited land.
Until one figure after another fell down, and even the wails became much quieter. The leader looked at the bloody and terrifying scene in front of him, and remembered that they had also committed atrocities against humans in this way.
One day, the same ending befell them.
"Can I ask you a question?"
"What?"
Behind them are crazy flames, boiling fireworks ignited for this battle, and the fire points are blown by the strong wind, like stars in the sky.
It is a hell of fire and the last struggle of the infected. No one is right or wrong. The positions are separated only because of the curse. The city is dominated by tyranny.
Ronark City, the capital of the abyss.
"The curse planted on us...can't be changed anymore, right?"
"……right."
Jiang Chenchuan raised his eyes and answered.
The strange aura surging in the darkness suddenly calmed down, the blade of the sword had been unsheathed, and the strong wind blew away the endless stars. The slash fell, sparks burst out when it collided with the sharp claws, and the two sides met each other's eyes.
It was lifted up, dropped, and contacted again. It was no different from other ordinary infected people. It also relied on its own strength to fight its way through the infected people. Therefore, Jiang Chenchuan was on par with him for a while.
Even in a fierce collision, a clear cracking sound could be heard, and the claws flew out. Jiang Chenchuan took a step back and saw a gap left on his sword.
Jiang Chenchuan was slightly surprised, but he also felt a sense of admiration for it. Being able to cause such damage showed that the opponent was not weak.
There was endless sadness in his bloodshot eyes, as if he was saying his final farewell to himself.
Jiang Chenchuan breathed out, and after a short breath, he raised his sword again and slashed hard on the infected person's body.
When some infected people saw their leader being attacked, they rushed to help, but Jiang Chenchuan noticed the malicious intent coming from another direction.
After welcoming the attack, he turned the direction of the sword and pierced the opponent's throat without any warning.
Blood splashed into the corners of Jiang Chenchuan's eyes, and his calm and indifferent face made him look like a god of death on the battlefield.
"Evel."
Ethan suddenly spoke up.
The thick smell of blood made him feel a little uncomfortable, faintly stimulating some of his nerves. When he turned his head, he saw the scene of Jiang Chenchuan killing the infected person, and he did not stop attacking immediately after the infected person's head was severed.
Afraid of something unexpected happening, he called Jiang Chenchuan in time.
Holding the staff and sword and waving it, with power flowing at the tip of the sword, Jiang Chenchuan came back to his senses and turned to look at Ethan.
"What's wrong?"
"nothing."
Ethan shook his head and replied.
It was at this time that the leading infected person launched an offensive towards Jiang Chenchuan, with the smell of burning, blood, and constant wailing.
Jiang Chenchuan used his sword to block, but was suddenly blown away by the huge force and fell directly into the sea of fire.
The flames were burning, and Ethan's heart was beating crazily, but the next second, a figure jumped out of the flames, and the yellow-green light covered the surface of Jiang Chenchuan's body, helping him block the burning of the fire and the scorching temperature. .
In fact, even the infected thought that the battle was over, but they did not expect that Jiang Chenchuan still had the ability to fight back.
Jiang Chenchuan raised the staff and sword in his hand high, and the infected person raised its head. It had a strange feeling, as if there was a frightening chill crawling up its spine. It was almost an overwhelming advantage and aura. It made him want to kneel down to Jiang Chenchuan.
In an instant, the movements of the infected leader became sluggish, and he could only watch helplessly as Jiang Chenchuan's staff and sword slashed at it with a silvery white light.
Just like the infected person just now, Jiang Chenchuan's target is also its head. Only in this way can he kill it with one blow.
The infected person had no time to defend and could only wait for his life to be shattered by the sword. He thought it would be very painful, but he did not expect that it would only last for a moment. After death, nothing would be left behind.
Looking at this scene, Ethan didn't know what to say.
"it's over?"
Ethan whispered.
Maybe it's over.
The battle was neither long nor short, with the sound of crackling flames burning in my ears, and the corpses of infected people everywhere. Although my eyes were full of fire, I could only feel the coldness of winter.
Jiang Chenchuan slowly turned around and nodded towards Ethan.
Shaking away the blood on the sword blade, after so many battles, the sword body had more or less mottled marks. Jiang Chenchuan lowered his head, picked up the scabbard on the side of the street, and slowly put away the staff and sword. stand up.
The skull cane was washed with blood, and the empty eye sockets gave people a chill, becoming more and more terrifying.
"Let's go! Ethan."
Jiang Chenchuan greeted.
"We should go to the royal city."
After cleaning up the mess on the street, nothing was left, and the fire was extinguished. Maybe some infected people escaped, but it didn't affect their next plan.
The distance to the royal city is also getting closer, and the originally petrified corpse is still standing there, while the city gate is ajar, and the cold wind is constantly pouring out from inside. Compared with the horror before, after taking care of the mermaid corpse, it seems to be at ease. A lot.
"Is this right here?"
He raised his head and looked up.
"Use alchemy to seal the city gate. This is a carefully prepared prison for the infected. Do you need to prepare any alchemy raw materials?"
Jiang Chenchuan said.
"Nothing is needed. In this crazy and turbulent place, who really takes life seriously."
Ethan said solemnly.
He randomly picked up a withered branch and started painting at the city gate. This time it was a large alchemy formation, so it took a long time.
The cold wind stirred up the dust on the ground. Along with the whistling wind, a spell was written under Ethan's hands. The dried blood on the ground seemed to feel some kind of call and began to flow slowly, drawing along the branches. The traces spread bit by bit.
The breath of life seeps into every spell, gathering the power that originally dissipated. Wherever you look, you can see the unnatural power surging.
As Ethan gradually perfected the technique, this surge of power became more and more obvious, but the aura seeping out from the ground was not normal. It was all red and black air currents surging.
"Evel, stay away from me!"
Ethan's voice came from the magic circle.
Jiang Chenchuan kept retreating until Ethan's figure merged with the night, and countless elements weaved into a giant net, wrapping the entire magic circle.
"Malicious?"
Something seemed to be reviving, and Ethan felt an indescribable fear. The condensed power wrapped around his limbs like vines.
"what happened?"
Ethan was surprised. He had never encountered such a strange situation after being an alchemist for so long.
He felt something was not good, and quickly kept Jiang Chenchuan away, as if something was about to come. The huge sense of oppression made Ethan unable to breathe, and the ferocious limbs stretched out from the ground, baring their teeth and claws in the entire formation.
This was a situation that Ethan had not expected. When setting up this alchemy circle, he would encounter such an unexpected situation. He could only suspend the operation of the circle.
The mixed light of gold and black gradually dimmed, and the strange dancing slowly dissipated. Ethan tightened the string. The more it reached this moment, the more he should calm down.
Until the entire formation returned to calm, no more strange things appeared.
"call--"
Ethan wiped the sweat from his forehead and exhaled a breath of hot breath. Jiang Chenchuan stood in the distance and looked at Ethan with a puzzled face, completely unaware of what was happening.
Maybe what just happened was just an accident. Ethan checked the magic circle and confirmed that there were no problems before restarting it.
It seems that because Jiang Chenchuan is farther away, when the magic circle is activated this time, there are no longer weird hands and feet sticking out from the ground.
Although Ethan didn't understand the reason, since the formation could operate normally, he didn't worry about it anymore.
The petrified corpse was slowly covered with fine blood veins, as if something was eroding them. Gradually, the power of life flowed into the formation.
The formation lit up again and after confirming that there were no problems, Ethan slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Great God, please listen to my prayer..."
Ethan closed his eyes and kept mumbling prayer hymns. The complex words came out of his mouth. Something lit up in the distance. It was the first ray of morning light. Unknowingly, the night had passed.
In a daze, something seemed to be speaking, as if receiving an unknown response, and Ethan felt that the movement of the magic circle under his feet suddenly began to accelerate.
Completely different from before, this time it was golden light that enveloped Ethan, as if the darkness and distortion were all an illusion.
"God, can you really hear my prayers?"
Ethan suddenly remembered that a long time ago, he seemed to have doubted the authenticity of faith, but the more he came into contact with alchemy, the more the truth of the world became clear to him.
Gods are real.
The conditions for the alchemy circle are met.
start up!
Ethan still maintained his standing posture. The golden light on his body had gradually faded. Too much power had been taken away from him, and his consciousness was in a daze. He vaguely saw someone walking towards him. The sun was rising behind him, and the gods on the church murals were similar. The scene upon arrival was exactly the same.
