Just when the giant threaded sword was about to strike down hard, there was a blur of shaking, and Elder Issyk's figure suddenly became illusory and abnormal, as if the movie projector had been kicked.
From the perspective of the one-eyed spider, a giant scythe suddenly appeared from nowhere, cutting a scarlet wound on the body of the giant flame demon who also had a red one-eyed eye.
The thick blood fell like egg white from the broken body, pulling out sticky blood threads. Countless deformed mouthparts screamed at the same time, as if they were in a slaughterhouse.
Ms. Olivia took action.
Elder Issik's movements suddenly stagnated, and the orange-red flames twisted and shattered, disappearing into the darkness. Tia took advantage of this moment of stagnation to roll out of the attack range of the giant sword.
The next second, the threaded giant sword arrived belatedly, wrapped in flames, and outlined a dangerous, beautiful, but meaningless arc in the air.
A look of fear finally appeared in Issik's eyes, and he understood that his biggest secret had been known to these people.
A terrifying wolf howl came from behind, heartbreaking. In a panic, Elder Issik turned around, only to see that the black wolf that had been gutted by it had recovered from its wounds and swooped over.
The bloody mouth flowing with blood foam and saliva gradually enlarged in his eyes, but Elder Issyk had no time to do anything. He could only barely block his left arm in front of him and pray silently to the flame of revenge.
In an instant, blood flew everywhere and bones burst. The black wolf chewed up the arm in front of him like a biscuit and swallowed the burning robe sleeves into his belly.
Pain, humiliation, anger... these emotions swallowed up his mind like a tsunami. For a moment, he wanted to ignite the Emperor's blood now and burn these people and the city to ashes.
But reason told him that a small impatience would mess up a big plan: if he persists for another hour, the ritual of bathing in fire will be complete, and the flame of revenge will get this fallen city as a sacrifice. As a gift, he will be reborn in the flames and complete another transformation.
The dream was interrupted and the projection gradually disintegrated. At the last moment, the black wolf bit his head, but only tasted nothingness.
"Just wait and see, I swear...each of you will die in pain."
At the end of the dream, Issek clutched his burned throat and growled softly, looking like another injured beast.
The next moment, he woke up from the pool soaked in "Emperor's Blood", and his broken left arm added a strange scarlet color to the purple water.
Dignity made Issek hold back the pain, stretched out his right hand and made it into a fist, activating the secret message buried...
…
Looking at the disappearing figure of Elder Issik, Ed let out a cold sigh.
Holander is dead. After all, the infatuated young man still did not believe in the promise of the Divine Bureau - trust is a luxury thought in the face of a thousand-year feud.
But now is not the time to mourn for anyone, because another huge threat is appearing in front of them——
The giant black wolf transformed by Quinn.
Its eyes radiated a frightening light, and the original green color of pine needles had been dyed red by blood, and no trace of their former appearance could be seen.
"Quinn...are you okay?" Ed asked tentatively, trying to get it to recall the name it had when it was a human.
The giant wolf bared its teeth and let out a vicious growl, then bowed its body and was about to fly towards him. At this moment, a low singing sound came from the front of the tunnel. It was the melody of the piano music that Ed heard in Ms. Olivia's office that day.
Upon hearing this song, the black wolf howled wildly, turned around and ran towards Ms. Olivia Forrester.
"Hurry up, I can only delay it for you for a little while." The nightingale's whisper reached everyone's ears through the echo secret text.
Why do werewolves react so violently when they hear singing? Is there any grudge between Quinn and Miss Olivia?
This thought flashed through Ed's mind. Not caring about thinking about this at the moment, he picked up the body of a seriously injured agent and turned around:
"Now, let's transport out the injured who still have signs of life. They need first aid immediately."
Although the best solution is to stay in place and wait for Dr. Rowan to come over to prevent secondary damage to the injured by moving, the current situation obviously does not allow them to do this.
Tia nodded obediently, and she and Stranger helped up the sea monster who was kneeling beside him. At this moment, Anvil stood up as if awakening from a dream, touching the scorch marks on his abdominal armor.
Five men, four wounded. Mr. Sea Monster's condition obviously made it impossible to transport any more injured people. The remaining people were left alone, which was an easy task for the Extraordinary.
"Hey! How are you doing over there?"
As the wall of fire dissipated, Byakuya's shout came from the T-shaped corridor.
"Don't come over yet. Miss Hound is out of control. And we still have injured people here. You should be on guard over there first and let Dr. Rowan prepare first aid and wait for us to meet over there."
Ed had already put the keys and collar into his pocket. Only now did he understand why Mr. Eaton had repeatedly told him to use this key with caution—right now, she was no less of a threat than Elder Issyk.
"Are you okay?" Ed asked quietly.
The wounded man he was responsible for seemed to have lost consciousness, and he was just letting out a dull, heavy instinctive gasp from under the beak mask. Suddenly, the man let out a slight wheeze.
Just when he wanted to continue to say something to help the other person maintain consciousness, the ground under his feet suddenly trembled horribly, and the entire corridor quickly collapsed from the center and fell into the sea of fire——
The Order of Nirvana detonated the Blood of the Emperor.
If they had not chosen to rescue the wounded just now, but the entire team continued to move forward, they would probably be at the origin of collapse now.
"Damn it, this place is going to collapse, run!" Anvil hugged the only wounded person with an intact torso and ran as fast as he could. The dragoon's steam boiler roared with overload.
The other four people also started to accelerate. Ed quickly fell behind. Arthur's character card did not have much bonus to explosive power and speed. A green light flashed in his eyes and he quietly switched to the character card "Edgar Waikolo (Kata)" Lena Oakland).
His speed has indeed improved a bit, but even so, he is still the only Level 1 Extraordinary on the field, and there is still a gap compared to others.
"Ed, give me the man!" Tia slowed down slightly and retreated to a position parallel to Ed.
"No, put me down..." The man suddenly made a weak voice, "It's coming..."
There was a creepy howl of a wolf behind him. At the end of the broken and disintegrated passage, the bloodthirsty black giant wolf rushed towards them, and the sound of four-legged running was approaching them at a desperate speed.
He knew in his heart that Quinn was unlikely to suddenly regain his senses at this time. Once it catches up, everyone will die.
"Ed!" Tia's purple eyes were full of eagerness.
"Believe...your...comrades..."
The sound was like extinguishing a candle, but it had an indescribable power like magic.
Ed let go of his arm, letting it roll off his shoulders. The next moment, the black wolf pounced on the bait, the pocket watch bomb made a crisp explosion, and the rainbow-colored light flashed on the wall.
The entire passage fell rapidly, and Anvil, who was the first to escape, turned back and pulled the sea monster in mid-air; Stranger threw the wounded man up, and he barely caught the edge with his sickle-shaped machete.
Tia also threw the wounded person up first, then stepped on the falling gravel all the way up. Byakuya leaned out almost half of his body and grabbed her left arm. She whipped the whip with her backhand and wrapped it around Ed's arm in mid-air...
suddenly……
The black wolf wrapped in flames jumped up from the abyss, and its sharp claws grasped Ed's left leg. He could feel the severe pain of the tendon tearing in an instant.
It was tearing him down, and it wasn't Quinn.
"Tia, let go!" he roared immediately.
The huge force almost tore off the entire leg, but Tia still held on to the whip and refused to let go.
Finally, the gunshot wound on Byakuya's arm exploded, and he lost control of his palm.
Gravity suddenly enveloped the two men and the wolf, and they fell towards the abyss...
