The majestic blood gathered above Edward's head, forming a scarlet ocean. The surging blood surged like a sea tide, blocking the sunlight.
In the sea of blood, there was not only the blood of the dead soldiers, but also the power possessed by Edward himself. It became stronger again, more powerful than when he first woke up.
Blood rain fell from the sky, and the blood-red water droplets slapped on the soldiers' faces and evaporated in an instant, turning into thin red smoke and once again blending into the blood-colored ocean across the sky, repeating the cycle.
Come and try it quickly. 】
From the beginning, Edward tried his best, and it released all its power. The long black hair flew into the sea of blood, sucking the blood like a leech. The nails and teeth also became slender and sharp, and the bones made a rattling sound. The originally thin body The body began to expand and grow, and the bone wings became even larger. Every time it flapped, it would cause violent madness.
This is the first time that Ma Wei has seen Edward's body structure change, and it is now...
Like an evil ghost returning from hell, it is ferocious and terrifying, with eyes full of hatred.
"It's so ugly..."
Anatole, who occupied Constance's body, stared at Edward above his head: "You finally tore off the elegant disguise and revealed your true face. Just like before, the evil spirit is full of disgusting smell."
"Lord God...won't you stop it?" Archbishop Henry asked cautiously: "Its power is increasing rapidly, and now is the best time to take action..."
"Henry."
In Archbishop Henry's flattered expression, Anatole called out his name: "Of course I can stop it, but why should I stop it?"
"Because..." Archbishop Henry hesitated.
Of course he believed in Anatole's power and believed that Anatole could defeat Edward, but in the final analysis, their target was not the Vampires, but the Church of Truth.
Allowing the enemy to consume one's strength for no reason is not wisdom, but stupidity.
unless....
Anatole had his own reasons.
"It is indeed powerful. After all, it is a race created by the ancient gods. It is natural to be powerful." Anatole said softly: "But today's vampires no longer have the huge group they used to have. They cannot obtain it by devouring their own kind." Explosive power, what you see now is just a disguise for bravado."
"Just like a mask, no matter what label you put on yourself or what kind of existence you pretend to be, you are you. The meanness in your bones cannot be changed. You can never become what you pretend to be. The false appearance is just you. I’m just kidding myself.”
"You mean, Edward is trying to intimidate?"
"This explanation is correct. It is far worse now than it was then..." Anatole narrowed his eyes: "It has lost the devil's heart given by the ancient gods, which should have been its power. The source of it. If it had the heart of a devil, it would not be able to win with just a shred of my will, but it turns out that after sleeping for two thousand years, it has become extremely weak, as weak as a weed on the ground. , if you step on it lightly, you will sink completely..."
This was beyond the scope of what Archbishop Henry could imagine. His understanding of gods was limited to descriptions in ancient books, and he had never experienced them personally. It had been so long, and the humans who had seen the gods with their own eyes had long since turned into withered bones in the graves.
As for the Devil's Heart, he had never heard of it, and there was no corresponding record in ancient books. However, from Anatole's description, it was not difficult to tell that the Devil's Heart was an extremely powerful 'gift'.
The 'gift' of the ancient gods.
Archbishop Henry licked his dry lips and asked expectantly: "Since it is not your opponent, why not get rid of it quickly and deal with the Church of Truth?"
Anatole turned around, cast a glance, and looked at Archbishop Henry indifferently.
"No...please don't misunderstand me...I definitely have no intention of dominating you!" Archbishop Henry knelt down on one knee and said with fear: "I'm just afraid that something will change later. The Church of Truth is developing too fast. I have trouble sleeping and eating..."
A gentle smile appeared on Anatole's face: "Don't be afraid, I can feel your loyalty as strong as fire. Stand up, loyal believers do not need to kneel to me."
"yes..."
"Edward is just a bait thrown by the Church of Truth. I can solve it quickly, but it is still a long time before the time in the prophecy. Neleyinda's prophecy is infallible. Those who violate the prophecy, whether they are humans or gods, They will all be punished by fate."
"You...also believe in fate?" Archbishop Henry was a little confused.
"When fate is in our favour...yes, I am willing to believe in fate and follow the predicted trajectory."
During the conversation, Edward completed his transformation. He stared coldly at the tiny Anatole and opened the Vampire Secret Book.
"Scarlet Hell."
The surging sea of blood in the sky suddenly subsided without a trace of ripples. However, the next second, a pair of red arms poked out of the sea of blood, and a monster whose whole body was red and made of sea of blood crawled out, followed by another. Only, one...
Countless monsters crawled out of the sea of blood and clung to the surface. Their huge heads turned strangely, wings sprouted from their backs, and they flew up one after another.
Edward waved his arms, and the monsters swarmed up, opened their bloody mouths, and bit Anatole's body.
The light spot between the eyebrows suddenly brightened, and circles of golden light waves spread out and hit the monsters. The monsters instantly turned into a blood mist, but in the blink of an eye... the blood mist condensed again, and the monster appeared again!
The spreading blood mist also touched Anatole's body. With a 'chi' sound, black spots appeared on his fair and slender arms. The blood mist penetrated into the skin, like maggots on the tarsal bones. , eating away at flesh and blood....
Anatole frowned slightly. She seemed to hear Constance's soul inside her body screaming in pain. She immediately took a step back and whispered: "Galaxy."
Wow!
In the sky above the sea of blood, the stars suddenly lit up. A long river of starlight passed through the sea of blood and surrounded Anatole's body. Each star seemed to have shrunk in half, rotating and shining in the river of stars. .
The blood mist came into contact with the galaxy, making a sizzling sound of corrosion. Anatole reached his injured arm into the galaxy, grabbed a star, and crushed it with force.
Pacha!
The sound of shattering resounded deep in his soul. Edward raised his head, looking through the sea of blood and looking at the stars.
There....
A star shattered into pieces and turned into meteorites wrapped in flames, which were falling rapidly.
The soldiers' sight was blocked by the sea of blood, and they didn't know what was going on. However, in places not covered by the sea of blood, such as the rebels under Tver City, they clearly observed the meteorites falling from the sky, and they became panicked instantly.
The fragments of the stars tore through the clouds and mist, and swept in accompanied by strong flames. The heaven and earth were darkened, and the soldiers screamed in terror and kept retreating.
"Boss!!!"
With a loud shout, Laiwen threw out the Siren's Tears, and Ma Wei grabbed it and poured a huge amount of magic power into it.
The ground undulates and rises, as if it is alive and active, and thick earth walls rise, like a shocking wave, rushing towards the meteorites falling in the sky.
boom! ! !
The meteorite came into contact with the earth wall, and the dazzling light flashed away. After a brief silence, it exploded with a bang, exploding a sea of fire in mid-air. The earth wall that faced the meteorite collapsed instantly, and the earth as heavy as a thousand pieces was mixed with the burning meteorite. The debris fell to the ground and was blocked by another rising earth wall.
Ma Wei breathed a sigh of relief and was about to remove the earthen wall...
boom!
Behind him, there was a gunshot.
A bullet....
Hit him in the shoulder.
"teacher!!!"
"Boss!!!"
The sudden change was beyond everyone's expectation. Both Laiwen and Daniel focused their attention on the falling meteorite from the sky. If the meteorite could not be blocked, both the royal army and the rebel army would dissipate into dust and ambush in the sky. The assassin in the army took advantage of everyone's distraction and pulled the trigger.
Blood gushed out from the wound and dripped down. Ma Wei glanced at the shot shoulder, raised his hand to signal Lai Wen and Daniel to calm down, turned his head and looked behind him.
There, a soldier fell in a pool of blood, the revolver in his hand still emitting pungent smoke.
His neck was cut by something sharp. Fat Orange circled around the soldier, with blood remaining on his right front paw.
How could an assassin who was not moved by meteorites miss his target?
The moment he realized he was shot in the shoulder, Ma Wei knew that the assassin had failed. The opponent only had one chance to shoot, and the fat orange hidden in the crowd...
He wasn't even given time to aim.
Katerina glanced at the uniforms worn by the soldiers: "They are artillerymen, they should be Zorukin's men. The Wisdom Cult has indeed infiltrated... Father, how are you?"
"I'm fine."
Ma Wei patted Yunia's arm and told her that he was not in the way, and then said: "Remove all the artillery and investigate slowly. The real problem is not me, but..."
Huchi...huchi...
The heavy breath hit the back of the neck, Ma Wei's body tensed up, and he slowly turned around... and met a pair of golden eyes.
Anatole!
