The eyes of the four monks were locked on Dean at the same time.
"There are also cunning souls hiding in the grass like snakes, which makes people want to see clearly." The high priest's ancient eyes changed for the first time, flashing with a dark brilliance, just like revealing a dusty star. of gems, "Let me hear what you have to say."
"The three souls of William, Adam and Aurora are just ordinary husbands, wives and sons. You must have come into contact with them countless times in your past actions. There is really nothing worth exploring and studying." Dean shook his head and locked eyes quietly. There are corresponding weapons in the fantasy space, keeping them in a state of being summoned, "I have a more 'noble' soul to offer you."
Dean turned around and pointed at Frankie in the wheelchair next to him, "Frankie Kurus, he is seventy-five years old this year. He transformed an area of Columbus from a smelly ditch to the prosperity it is today. If he follows you When we return to hell, we will definitely help Leviathan build hell better."
"Hell has its own engineers, who feel pain and carve pain." The high priest denied softly, "Human architects are useless to us."
"Don't worry, he still has many great achievements." Dean looked at Frankie's old face as white as a piece of paper and his eyes as round as light bulbs. "He disguised himself as a generous philanthropist and established a family in Columbus. Charity hospitals, in fact, these hospitals treat patients and their families as goods and sell them at will."
"He himself relied on these goods to survive for decades."
"In order to get where he is today, he resorted to bribery, kidnapping, and extortion in every possible way."
"His behavior is extremely heinous and he has committed countless crimes. He is an extremely skilled sculptor of pain. Coupled with his greed for life and fear of death, he replaced his internal organs several times and sacrificed a large number of human lives for the sake of his quality of life in his later years." Dean spoke harshly and high-pitched, like a judgment, detailing the sinful memories absorbed from Frankie's blood, "Don't you hell monks like the most hypocritical, lustful, and profit-driven souls of sinners?"
"His value far exceeds the three insignificant characters in William's family." Dean said, "I will hand him over to you, and you will return Aurora to her humanity, and the family of three will remain in the world. How about this deal?"
Sound surged through the thick fog.
William, who was standing behind Dean, hugged Adam and Aurora tightly, but he did not have the strength to speak on this occasion. He could only quietly pick up the deformed mourning box on the ground, ready to restore it at any time - after the mourning box was restored, it was The summoned hell monks will be forcibly sent back to hell, and the high priest cannot be exempted.
And Adam quietly picked up that side of the séance.
The three fat monks in sunglasses looked at the high priest in the center as if asking for instructions.
"Frankie Kurus, a soul full of painful potential," the high priest glanced at the figure paralyzed in the wheelchair, and his incontinent urine soaked the pajamas and the ground, "use him in exchange for the souls of this family of three. fair enough."
"But the transaction cannot be calculated so simply." The high priest changed his tone and became like a shrewd businessman. "I can forgive the father and son for opening the mystery box to summon us, but I cannot forgive them for being of the blood of cursers. sin."
"Unless they are pardoned by Leviathan, any curser who escapes to the human world must be captured and taken back to hell. This is the rule."
"What can you do to atone for their blood sins?"
Redemption, sin of blood...
In the high priest's questioning voice, Dean looked at him with deep eyes.
"What do you want?"
"I want you, you have outstanding talents and talents." The high priest's voice was full of interest, and he stretched out his pale left hand towards Dean, "Come into hell with me, and I will forgive their family's sins and free them. They are free. And you, perhaps soon, will take my place and become the new high priest of Leviathan."
Three seconds of silence.
"I'm sorry, I really can't appreciate your nail-covered look. I can't accept the weird aesthetics of hell. I have no interest in becoming a high priest. Can I add another condition to the deal?" Dean pointed at the high priest and the three people behind him. A follower said word by word, "I will use your four lives in exchange for the freedom of William's family."
"Arrogant and ignorant!" The high priest didn't speak, and the female monk whose throat was slit couldn't help but refute angrily, "When I take you back to hell, I will sew your mouth shut, take out your heart, and let you witness How humble and weak the real self is!”
"I'm going to take out your guts and see why you are so brave." The fat monk took off his sunglasses to reveal his eyes that were stitched together with stitches. He patted the crack in his belly and licked the exposed intestines like a tongue.
Thunk, thunk... The buck-toothed monk strode towards Dean with a row of big teeth biting the air.
The high priest did not interrupt, but looked at him with pity in his eyes, as if he was ready to laugh at him.
Dean moved.
Lightning reflex!
The thick fog floated, and the sound of tapping footsteps suddenly stopped.
The shadow flew out of Dean's back, opening up the weakened field that covered the sky.
A dazzling light covered the entire hall.
The four monks were enveloped in it in an instant, and the bright red light of life around them was dimmed, and all attributes were weakened by 15%!
Plus the effect of lightning reflex.
Their footsteps and blinking eyes were slowed down to one percent.
Like four statues standing in place, a sassy figure with a bow and an arrow reflected in the pupils.
The extraordinary bow made of Dean's own bones and tendons was placed horizontally in front of him.
Six star arrows filled with starlight were spread out irregularly on the string. Three of them were aimed at the three followers, and three were aimed at the high priest. The starlight flowed around the pale golden arrows, outlining the tail that was magnified ten times. Barbed arrow-shaped shadow.
Whoosh——
The bowstring vibrates.
The arrow disappeared into thin air without making any sound.
…
Four dark vortexes exploded at the four figures less than twenty meters away. They were beating like black holes, distorting the nearby space, rippled with layers of folds, and completely crushed the monk's upper body into pieces as fine as dust. particles, sucked into the black hole.
From the figure twisted by the star arrows, a large amount of scarlet light visibly escaped outwards, floating outward like a ribbon.
That is most of the monk's life energy.
However, under the influence of lightning reflection, they were as slow as a snail and had no time to completely escape from the range of the star arrow's power.
Dean then launched a second round of attacks, and his body bulged.
A pair of huge wings flew out from behind the down jacket. The rock-like muscles shattered the clothes around him and were exposed to the air. They were covered with dark brown scales belonging to the snake demon.
At the same time, he opened his mouth to reveal his conical fangs, and a ball of dark, viscous venom gathered between the fangs and sprayed out!
The muscles and scales twisted, and surging platinum energy surged out of every cell, launching an energy cyclone forward along Dean!
An oval light group as tall as one person tore through the white fog that shrouded the hall, drawing a sharp straight line that penetrated the four monks. The flames melted away most of the red energy like ice.
The venom mixed in the cyclone swallows up the remaining life force.
Feed back to Dean one after another.
Dean felt refreshed as if he had taken a big tonic, and a few lines of prompts flashed before his eyes,
"You destroyed the body and a ray of soul of the hell monks 'Shivering Tooth', 'Deep Throat', and 'Gourmet', proficiency +60, fighting level 5 (470→530/700), supernatural hunter activated, you absorbed 0.5 perception , Perception: 22.5→23.”
"Shadow has absorbed part of the soul essence, Shadow lv4 (440→485/500))"
"One ray of soul, where is most of the rest?"
Dean didn't have time to think about it, and the lightning reflex ended.
Sizzle...
Several electric arcs flashed in the thick fog, reshaping a hellish monk with a head full of nails.
The high priest was reincarnated from the dead.
But compared to before, the life energy intensity and breath had declined a little, and he was the only one left in the group of four.
A flash of surprise flashed in his cold eyes, "You can actually kill three of them. Your strength is pretty good. I want to show you hell more and more..."
In response, Dean's slit-shaped vertical pupils flashed with a psychedelic light.
Fantasy abyss!
It's like a stone falling into a calm icy lake, breaking the ice and causing ripples in the pool.
After Nailhead became a priest, the memories that had been sealed by Leviathan for many years were rolled back from the depths of his soul.
Like hawthorn, sweet and sour.
He froze in place.
Swish——
A gust of wind passed behind him.
Dean took the opportunity to teleport behind Nail Head, grabbed a long fang knife in his right hand, aimed it at the back of the neck and slashed it down!
Swipe and pull——
A head studded with nails was thrown away.
The long knife slashed across the neck as smooth as a mirror, and the energy from the blade slashed downwards to the ground, carving out a dark slit, cutting out from the outer wall of the twenty-story building, and cutting off a corner of the entire building.
Huge pieces of debris fell down.
The headless high priest turned around quickly and kicked sideways, hitting Dean in the waist.
Severe pain, my mind went blank.
Dean seemed to have been hit by a train moving at full speed, smashing the glass wall backwards and flying to a high altitude outside the building.
The chest and abdomen were covered in blood and flesh, and were crushed into minced meat by a kick. The scarlet energy of the monks was like a snake wandering around and destroying it.
But the wisps of platinum life energy in Dean's body quickly swallowed up the alien energy, allowing the wound to heal quickly.
The headless corpse in the hall hugged its head and flew forward, smashing the ceiling and flying to the top of the building in the night sky, standing in the wind.
Under the bright moonlight, the strong night wind caused the headless corpse's black leather coat to flutter like dragon wings. He then raised his hand and placed the head in his arms on his neck again, turning it 180 degrees and returning it to its correct orientation.
At this time, the corner of the cold nail face grinned strangely with a touching smile, and a crystal teardrop hung under the eyelids.
It was as if his mind had been damaged by the Illusion Abyss skill.
"Tsk, tsk, this magical illusion actually made me taste the tears I had been away from for decades."
Nailhead looked at Dean on the other side of the building,
"But that's not enough!"
"continue!"
Dean flapped his snake demon wings behind his back, creating a large whirlwind of nothingness.
Life is sublimated!
The life energy doubled and radiated to the surroundings in a zigzag shape.
Swish swish——
Waves of air-piercing roars followed. Spears, hand axes, throwing knives, and more than thirty extraordinary weapons flew out of the void, coiled behind Dean, and charged forward accompanied by terrifying lightning, fire, and ice.
charge!
A long stream of fireworks shot towards the nail head.
William's family, dozens of staff, and people in nearby buildings on the top floor of the Saarinen Building all looked up at the wonderful view.
The wind was blowing hard.
Nail Head calmly pulled out a blood-stained nail from his head and pierced it into his palm.
A hoarse voice issued the command,
"Leviathan says gravity!"
Plop!
The group of weapons flying through the air and Dean suddenly stopped, as if they had hit a transparent wall of air, and fell downwards - the attraction of the earth to them increased a hundred times.
Nailhead took the opportunity to pull out the second nail and pierce it into his palm.
"Leviathan said, Darkness!"
The magical sound spreads high in the sky, and the invisible hand of the Creator quietly drags the moon wheel hanging in the sky behind the clouds.
The tide of darkness swept around with the high priest's body as the center.
In an area of several kilometers, the flames and lights in tall buildings were extinguished one after another, and they were as black as ink in the blink of an eye.
Panic of blackout spreads.
People's exclamations rang out, and some people tried to find flashlights, candles, and matches for lighting, but all light sources were swallowed up by an unknown law, and the city fell into eternal night.
Ordinary people can't even see the hands in front of them clearly!
But Dean is different. His super perception has long been freed from the constraints of the world.
There was no vision in the darkness, but the smell of the high priest and the alien life energy emitted illuminated Dean's perspective of God like the sun.
Dean jumped with all his strength, breaking the shackles of a hundred times gravity, holding the long knife and flying to slash, and at the same time activated his skills——
The call of the underworld!
A gap in space opened behind the high priest, and countless skeleton chains roared out of his body and the hands that pulled out the nails, pulling him into the space filled with bones and decay.
But this time, the chains only locked him high in the air, unable to pull him back at all, and they couldn't even shake his soul.
The high priest proudly took off the third iron nail on his head and inserted it into his palm.
"Leviathan said—armor and strength!"
Sizzling - the iron nails melted into a piece of silver molten iron, covering his whole body like a living thing, forming a thin armor.
At this moment, Dean struck the high priest in the neck with a knife.
The blade was blocked by the armor on his neck.
He immediately changed his moves, moved left and right around the high priest, and attacked the front like a storm. His speed was so fast that he dragged out five afterimages. With each hit of the knife, the power of life plundering and the force of suppression were poured into the body of the high priest crazily.
Dean attacked from the front, and the group of extraordinary weapons wrapped with lightning attacked the high priest's back.
The space erupted into a series of huge ripples.
It was as if several meteors were bombarding the central planet from the front, back, left and right.
But the hell monk, who was slender and was trapped in place by the skeleton chain, put on the silver armor, but his physical strength exceeded Dean's 255-ton ultimate power of three combinations of telekinesis, life energy, and physical strength.
Nearly three hundred tons.
Every punch and kick contains explosive power, and his fighting skills are not inferior to Dean's in any way.
Bang bang bang!
Gold and iron echo.
The sound of gas explosions continued continuously, and dark clouds and lightning-like sword lights jumped out of the darkness.
For a moment, the two were deadlocked in the sky.
A full minute later.
The life-stealing power obtained from the Potala spider man, plus the two kilograms of high-energy protein stuffed into his mouth in advance, had an effect.
Dean becomes more and more brave as he fights.
However, because most of the life energy of the high priest was forcibly robbed, his whole body became weak, and his silver armor could no longer hold up under thousands of bombardments, shattering like an egg shell.
Dean took the opportunity to cut off his left arm with a knife.
The high priest punched half of Dean's body to pieces, and the blood spilled opened a scarlet banner in mid-air.
A second blade of light flew out of the banner and struck the center line of the high priest's forehead vertically.
One stroke down!
His body split open along the bridge of his nose and opened a blood line, bursting out with thrilling blood. There were countless wounds all over his body that were cut to pieces by extraordinary weapons.
But a burst of red energy around him sent the weapons flying, and his right hand hit Dean in the face like a thunderous blast.
Snapped!
More than three hundred tons of force instantly shattered Dean's head.
Large pieces of flesh and blood flew back dozens of meters with his headless body.
But during the leap, billions of strands of white-gold energy connected every drop of blood in the air like silk threads, forcibly gathering them together.
In the blink of an eye, a complete head formed on the neck again, revealing Dean's fearful face.
On the opposite side, the broken body of the high priest was also repaired as before by bloody energy threads.
"Torture field!"
The high priest stretched out his bare arm to catch the flying severed arm and took off the fourth iron nail.
Stab into the palm of your hand!
There was a series of sounds of metal cutting the air in the darkness.
Hundreds of rotating iron hooks, jigsaws, scalpels, gears, and flaming torture instruments rose from the void, spraying sparks and blood, and threw countless sharp iron hooks towards Dean.
Each hook is like a small house.
The diameter of each iron chain is ten times that of ordinary chains. When they collide with each other, they emit bursts of mournful human howls.
Dean spun around.
The wings of the snake demon covered with scales wrap around the body like armor. Life energy and ghost armor form the second and third lines of defense, firmly blocking these terrifying spinning instruments of torture!
The iron hooks passed by him, hit the Saarinen Building behind him, penetrated the wall, and came out from the other side. As the torture pillars rotated in the void, they entangled and cut the outer wall of the building more and more tightly.
The iron hook tightened, the window glass crackled and shattered, and the wall cracked with large spiderweb-like patterns.
The outside of the building, and even the load-bearing walls inside, were all pulled by iron chains to create criss-crossing wounds, like a giant being dismembered by a wire saw wrapped around its body.
Wow!
The twenty-story Saarinen Building was completely dismembered, collapsed into gray stones and dust mist with a loud bang, and fell to the ground with a terrifying momentum.
Like waves that rise high and fall heavily.
In the huge earthquake that shattered the earth, William's family hugged each other on the top floor, and they fell down with Otis and Frankie screaming.
But before they fell to their death, an aurora-like figure flew past, and the figure moved the five people out of the collapse point and to the roof of another nearby building.
The asphalt road downstairs was not so lucky.
Countless potholes were opened by the gravel, and the road collapsed everywhere as if it had been hit by an earthquake. The snowy trees and shrubs were crushed by the gravel, and the nearby low buildings were crushed into ruins.
The white snow rose into the air, and the dust gathered to form a gray mist. It carried an unparalleled air wave and hit the buildings around the building. The buildings collapsed, knocking over and burying innocent people.
Farther in the sky, Dean noticed this scene and his face darkened. Even if he continued to fight, even if the high priest was killed, the Columbus Center would be completely reduced to ruins.
"Shallow, stay here as coordinates!"
Dean warned, retracted the long fang knife, spread his wings and flew towards the high priest, hugging him with all his strength.
At the same time, he opened a space node behind him and got into it.
Losing the power increase of the silver armor and having a large amount of life energy robbed, the high priest was unable to break free for a while, and was led into the dark void by Dean like a dummy.
roaming!
Countless nodes are twinkling like stars in the universe.
Dean activated his skills to spy on the scenes behind billions of nodes, and then selected a node that led to the lava in the core of an unknown planet.
Pulling open, tens of thousands of degrees of heat, accompanied by a suffocating red light, hit your face.
Dean hit the high priest on the chin with an uppercut, and the platinum energy cyclone shattered the nail head, sending the headless corpse flying into the magma behind the crack.
Close the node like a zipper.
Uh-huh.
Before the node was completely closed, a flash of red light flew out and landed behind Dean, transforming into a nail head and applauding weakly.
"A pretender covered in snake scales, with an astonishing variety of talents, including skills."
"A skill that comes from the origin, a skill that sublimates one's soul and body, and is omnipotent."
Dean remained silent, drew the bow and shot the arrow as fast as lightning, and at the same time placed all the remaining 44 star arrows on the bowstring.
The starlight that destroys the heaven and earth fills the air.
The high priest's eyelids twitched and he gave in completely.
"Stop it, Your Excellency. I recognize your strength and you have the qualifications to communicate with me on an equal footing. Why don't we just make the transaction according to your original proposal?"
A rare trace of respect appeared on the pale cheeks of the high priest,
"I will help you break Aurora's hell contract and let her reunite with her family in the world as a curser."
"Hell monks never leave empty-handed. In exchange, you give Frankie Kurus to me and take him back to hell. In addition..." His voice changed, with a trace of inexplicable expectation on his face, "Please release me again." The powerful ability to create illusions from before.”
"Why did you agree to your conditions?" The spiral tail feathers pressed against the corner of his mouth, and a trace of sarcasm flashed in Dean's eyes, "Are you still qualified to negotiate with me? I can deal with you at any time."
"Yes, you can kill me, but what happens after that?" the high priest said calmly, "For an important monk like me, most of the soul is in the control of Leviathan. If you kill me, you can only eliminate a trace of my remnant. Soul, He can resurrect and complete me at any time, remember your breath, and send the entire hell monks to hunt for you."
"Although your method of masking the soul's aura can hide your true identity from me, it cannot hide it from Leviathan. He will pursue your true identity and make you never have peace."
"Furthermore, your friend Aurora will never regain her normal humanity, and a family is torn apart."
"Are you going to do this?"
"If you want to trade, I swear in the name of the high priest that it will be absolutely fair, without any hidden or attached conditions. This is a tribute to a strong person like you."
Why did the High Priest of Hell say such things? Isn't this considered betrayal of Leviathan?
Dean thought and took a look at the progress of the incident. At 130%, he weighed the pros and cons between agreeing to a deal to let the high priest rescue Aurora and killing the high priest.
Finally follow your heart.
Returned to Columbus with Nail Head.
