The moment Giza raised her arms, Thales felt the ground shake.
* Boom! *
In the next second, the Blood Mystic rose from the ground.
No, it should be said that a gigantic blood-red tentacle with a diameter of two people broke through the ground, rose from the ground, and lifted Giza up by force.
It lifted her seven or eight stories high.
* Splat! *
Then, with the sound of flesh bursting, the gigantic tentacle exploded into countless smaller tentacles.
They extended a terrifying surface area and stretched in all directions.
Each tentacle seemed to have a life of its own as it slithered forward. A few seconds later, the blood-red tentacles trembled simultaneously, and covered the sky as they slithered towards Thales.
There were hundreds of them!
The tentacles covered almost his entire field of vision, even the moon was obscured.
Thales looked at the scene before him with a pale face, while Little Rascal grabbed him in a daze. She had long since been scared out of her wits.
Asda opened his mouth and roared, "Run!
Run! "
Thales shuddered, grabbed Little Rascal, and turned to run.
He gritted his teeth. Just like Asda said, he did not care, did not turn his head, and just ran forward.
Giza's maniacal and delighted laughter came from behind him.
Thales had just taken two steps when he heard a loud bang behind him.
A gust of air rushed towards him uncontrollably.
Then, there was another loud bang!
* Bang! *
In another direction, the air swirled up countless rocks and snow, sweeping them away.
Thales' heart skipped a beat.
'Sh * t.
'This is …'
'The situation when the air wall is forcefully broken!'
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
The loud bangs came one after another. The air flow became more turbulent and chaotic.
Obviously, Asda's air wall was being broken again and again.
At that moment, Thales felt a weight on his hand — Little Rascal fell to the ground.
Thales felt a chill in his heart. Before he could react, the two of them, who were a beat slower, felt a wave of darkness attack them.
Countless tentacles attacked from the sky behind them, covering their heads like a huge bowl.
Then, they blocked their way forward.
In the darkness, Thales gasped. He had just pulled Little Rascal up when he heard the sound of flesh scraping against each other from all directions.
In his field of vision, the tentacles glowing with red light attacked him from all angles!
Little Rascal hugged him tightly and cried out in surprise.
No.
Was there no more chance?
In despair, Thales touched his waist and felt for JC's dagger.
At that moment, the tentacles around Thales trembled at the same time!
His field of vision was filled with red light. Suddenly, spots of blue light diffused from the red light.
The tentacles stopped in their tracks.
"Bang! Bang! Pa!
Strange explosions rang out one after another.
In the next second, a ray of moonlight appeared in the darkness. It grew bigger and brighter until it dispersed the tentacles' concealment!
"Bang! Pop! Bang! Bang! Pa!
Thales watched in shock as the hundreds of Blood Red Tentacles around him exploded from the inside one after another. Countless blood mists and fragments burst out.
In the blink of an eye, over a hundred tiny tentacles exploded from their roots!
The gigantic tentacle that was connected to the Blood Mystic's body was also undulating internally. A large hole appeared on the surface of the tentacle, and countless drops of blood spilled out.
Giza laughed heartily and gently stroked the tentacle beneath her.
Immediately, the tentacles and limbs that were scattered due to the explosion struggled violently and began to change shape!
Some of the larger limbs grew into countless appendages and legs, like spiders or scorpions. The smaller limbs extended their length and resembled tadpoles or snakes. Some of the limbs even shrank into a round ball and began to roll like the tires of his previous life.
What they had in common was that the moment they changed shape, they ran, crawled, or rolled towards Thales and Little Rascal in various ways!
Thales felt his skin crawl as he watched the hundreds of strange-looking 'little animals' chase after him with twisted bodies. He turned his head and ran for his life while tears streamed down his face.
'I really have trypophobia!'
Little Rascal seemed to understand the severity of the situation. She gritted her teeth and followed Thales' pace.
However, they could not outrun the 'little animals'.
Soon, a monster with six legs, one eye, and two claws leaped to their side!
Thales immediately had goosebumps all over his body when he saw it from the corner of his eye.
However, in the next second, the monster suddenly shuddered and exploded like the tentacles before it.
It was not the only one. Countless of its kind behind it exploded at the same time, spraying blood all over the place.
Blood drenched Thales and Little Rascal's faces!
However, before Thales could rejoice, he suddenly felt the blood on his head and face begin to move as if it had a life of its own.
Like countless tadpoles, they became active and trembled on the surface of his skin!
'F * ck!'
Disgust and fear flashed through Thales' heart at the same time.
Fortunately, in the next moment, an unprecedented gust of wind assaulted them and lifted them into the air!
* Whoosh! *
The wind seemed to have a mind of its own. It went everywhere and forcefully scraped off the blood that belonged to Giza from the surface of their bodies!
Thales and Little Rascal fell to the ground again, battered and exhausted.
The gust of wind grew stronger and stronger. With a rumble, it blew away countless houses and swept towards Giza, breaking her newly grown tentacles, scattering them, and exploding them from the inside out in the air!
Thales did not stop. He immediately pulled Little Rascal up, and with the help of the wind, he ran forward with all his might.
'Run.'
He panted heavily. The fluctuation in his body had been activated for a long time. Because of this, Thales held Little Rascal's hand and ran for a while from time to time, in case she ran out of stamina.
'Run.'
He gritted his teeth. He knew that everything related to blood and living things behind him could become a weapon to kill him.
He could only run.
This was a desperate run for survival!
Finally, Thales and Little Rascal ran out of the street and saw living people again.
The Northlanders on the other street seemed to have heard the loud tremors and noises. Many of them ran out to see what was going on. Some of them saw Thales running wildly and discussed among themselves.
Thales wanted to yell and ask them to run.
However, he was already panting from running with Little Rascal. He no longer had the strength to speak.
He could only subconsciously continue running.
They returned to the street Thales had just escaped from. After the gust of wind subsided, a figure hovered in the air.
The Air Mystic appeared expressionlessly in the air. His eyes shone with blue light and his face flowed with blue light, as if his face was cracked. He silently confronted the Blood Mystic on the tentacles.
However, the intensity, brightness, and frequency of the blue light flowing on his face were even greater than when he faced Black Sword!
"Hahahaha." The Blood Mystic seemed to be very happy. She laughed and said to Asda, "Look, evolution isn't that difficult, is it?
"You're right. Evolution has improved the finesse of my control." The Air Mystic's words were emotionless. His tone was flat, but he had no intention of replying to Giza. "And air is indeed everywhere.
"For example, the insides of all living things?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the giant tentacle beneath Giza burst open with countless small holes from the inside out. It shriveled up!
"You don't have any more blood to use," the Air Mystic said coldly. "Give up. How about it?"
The Blood Mystic laughed and landed on the ground.
"No blood." Giza's words became more casual, and the tone of her laughter became stranger. "No blood?"
Once she finished speaking, her eyes brightened. The blood lines on her face became more prominent than before. They began to tremble more frequently and extended into countless smaller branches.
"Continue evolving." The blue light in Asda's eyes shone brighter, but his tone was surprisingly calm. "You're really crazy."
In the next moment, Giza laughed wantonly. The ground beneath her feet suddenly cracked, and endless tremors spread.
* Rumble … *
The crack extended for nearly a hundred meters, and the ground slowly bulged.
* Crash! *
With Giza as the center, a giant monster that was dozens of meters tall burst out of the ground with a loud bang!
Dirt, stones, and snow rolled off its body.
The giant monster completely covered a circumference of a hundred meters.
As Giza laughed softly, the monster split into dozens of limbs that were comparable to the tentacle just now and plunged them into the ground!
It was like an old tree taking root.
It also looked like a gigantic, blood-red octopus.
If Thales had turned around, he would have recognized that this was the terrifying 'multi-headed snake' in the birch tree forest!
However, compared to its previous appearance, it was a dozen times bigger.
The multi-headed snake's tentacles continued to penetrate the ground, its limbs twitching violently. Soon after, the ground trembled, and the tremors extended endlessly.
* Bang! *
Soon, in the streets and the city hundreds of meters away, several terrifying, giant tentacles burst out of the ground!
One of them appeared on the street that Thales had just run to.
Thales stared at the giant tentacle, which trembled as if it had sprouted from the ground.
The residents around him cried out in alarm and scattered in all directions.
But their luck was clearly very bad.
In the next second, the giant tentacle split into countless smaller tentacles!
Like a ferocious beast hunting its prey, it mercilessly and swiftly reached out to all living things around it.
All life.
Thales, whose scalp was numb, did not even turn around. He continued to run for his life with Little Rascal.
In his heart, he was crying out in grief with all his might.
'What is this?!
The Blood Mystic in the past was not like this.
Amidst the loud noise, countless civilians' screams, cries of pain, cries for help, and desperate cries came one after another like demonic sounds!
"No! Ahhh! "
"What is this?!"
"Help!"
"Cut it off! Cut it … urk … "
"Mom!"
"Run! Hurry! "
"Damn it, you damn … Ahhh! Let me go! "
In a few streets, countless people were swept up by the small tentacles. They were pulled towards the giant tentacle, which served as its root, and fused into the horrifying flesh and blood.
Even animals like cats and dogs were not spared.
Even birds, insects, trees, and flowers.
No matter what it was, their voices, just like their lives, stopped abruptly after entering the flesh and blood of the tentacles.
'No.'
'No.'
Thales clenched his teeth tightly. Tears streamed down his cheeks continuously. The tragic scenes before his eyes stimulated his emotions in a way that exceeded his tolerance limit.
Little Rascal only lowered her head. She did not look around, behind, or around her. She cried as she ran.
She cried as she ran.
A few tentacles stretched towards them, but Thales was on the verge of collapse. He did not even have the thought of dodging.
There were only a few air currents and air walls that followed them like shadows, firmly blocking these terrifying predators.
Asda floated quietly in the air. Everything in the air told him that something was happening in this huge city.
"No blood?"
On the other side, the Blood Mystic smiled like a flower at the expressionless Air Mystic. "I am …
"An entire city's worth of flesh and blood!"
How can there be no blood? "
With the injection of fresh life, the hydra's body became stronger and larger!
The tentacle that was closest to Thales suddenly trembled, and more tentacles erupted from it to attack him.
The Air Mystic turned his eyes, which shone brightly, and swept a glance in the direction of Thales, who was running wildly in the distance and could barely be seen.
He immediately turned his head back. The blue light on his body slowly turned from lines to stars.
It was like a dazzling star.
Asda's words became calmer and more indifferent.
"Life must rely on air."
The Air Mystic slowly raised a hand. "If there is no air.
How can life survive? "
Giza's smiling face slowly darkened.
Asda suddenly clenched his fist.
At that moment, Thales, who was in the distance, only felt that a circle had appeared around him.
In his field of vision, it was as if he and Little Rascal were suddenly contained in a transparent sphere made of blue light.
In the next second, Thales was horrified to see that everything around him was different!
First, all the sounds around him disappeared.
Then, the snow on the ground began to boil at a speed visible to the naked eye.
No, it was not just the snow.
Everything in front of them was slowly emitting steam … and boiling?
A man beside them suddenly grabbed his neck, as if he was having difficulty breathing. He desperately opened his mouth, trying to inhale air.
Steam came out of his eyes and mouth, scattering rapidly.
Ten seconds later, the man collapsed weakly.
His body began to swell.
Thales and Little Rascal stared blankly at everything in front of them. They realized that the snow and items around them were still normal.
"What's going on?" Little Rascal asked fearfully.
Thales shook his head, dumbfounded. With his knowledge, he could not understand such a situation at all.
He raised his head and saw that countless residents around him had all fallen to the ground at the same time. Red steam came out of their bodies, and their bodies began to swell.
Even those terrifying tentacles were emitting steam as they struggled, and soon fell to the ground.
Thales felt chills run down his spine. He subconsciously grabbed Little Rascal and continued to run forward.
In his eyes, the blue sphere around them was like a layer of protective membrane, protecting him and Little Rascal from being harmed by the unknown, terrifying situation in the outside world.
In the silent, treacherous world, Thales ran past countless people who had fallen to the ground. Some of their bodies were as swollen as the man just now, but most of them were obviously dead. When they died, their bodies returned to normal size, but their skin was tightly attached to their bones. They looked like dried corpses that had been dead for a long time.
At that moment, Thales felt an extreme chill in his heart. His instincts told him that there was no longer anyone alive in this district.
With his trembling hand, he squeezed Little Rascal's hand tightly.
The latter was also in a daze, and subconsciously followed Thales.
They ran past countless corpses of different shapes and postures, but all of them had died in agony.
Thales gritted his teeth and wiped away the tear stains on his face, holding back the second wave of tears in his eyes.
Thales knew that these people, these men and women's deaths … were all because of him.
He was the one who brought death and disaster.
Thales shook his head abruptly, trying to push everything out of his heart.
Trying to think of nothing.
Out of his wits, terrified, and filled with fear, he only had one goal left in his mind.
'Run.
'Run.
The further, the better. '
In the silent world, the Air Mystic floated quietly in the air.
He watched coldly as the Blood Mystic and her pet fell to the ground, trembling and boiling.
The blood in Giza's body was continuously evaporating.
But the Blood Mystic still forced herself to smile at him.
In the next second, the blood veins on Giza's body 'grew' vigorously again!
It was as if her entire body was enveloped in blood.
The gigantic tentacle beneath her suddenly moved. Countless pieces of flesh retracted. The gigantic hydra, which was hundreds of meters long, rapidly shrank into a tiny, strange, dark creature.
It extended smaller but extremely sturdy tentacles, which now looked more like black bone spurs.
The Air Mystic was still expressionless, but his eyebrows twitched slightly.
He still clenched his right hand tightly, and the blue light on his face flickered more and more rapidly.
Suddenly, the creature shot out three fine bone spurs, which pierced through Asda's figure.
Asda's body flashed with blue light, and he swayed.
The Air Mystic's right hand loosened.
At that moment, as if an infinite force had suddenly descended, the entire Shield District exploded with a loud bang!
* Boom! *
All the houses, the ground, and everything around Thales exploded, as if they were suddenly slapped by a palm!
Dirt and rocks flew everywhere, and debris flew everywhere!
Many of them tried to attack Thales and Little Rascal, but they were blocked by the blue sphere.
At that moment, Thales felt as if the entire Dragon Clouds City had been shaken by a giant, and then exploded!
He and Little Rascal both fell to the ground.
But then, Thales realized that everything before his eyes had returned to normal.
First, at the moment of the explosion, the sound seemed to have returned.
The snow no longer evaporated, and the shriveled corpses began to return to normal.
Thales gasped for air, still in a state of shock.
He turned his head and looked in the direction where Asda and Giza were.
But he could not see anything.
Little Rascal trembled and tugged at his sleeve.
Thales turned his head and saw Little Rascal staring blankly in front of them.
The street, which was dozens of meters long, was littered with corpses.
There were hundreds of them.
Thales knew that more corpses might be lying quietly in other streets.
He desperately tried to control his trembling chest and forcefully swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Little Rascal sobbed softly.
"Why …" Little Rascal's hair trembled, and she shook her head pitifully. Her tears slowly fell. "What are these …"
"Don't look." Thales took a deep breath and clenched his teeth. He resisted the urge to cry, covered Little Rascal's eyes, and continued to walk forward with her in his arms. "Don't look."
At that moment, a great sorrow rose in Thales' heart. He gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay.
It's okay.
"Soon … soon, it will be over …
"It will be over."
In the distance, the Air Mystic slowly recovered under the healing of the blue light.
He looked at Giza, expressionless.
"Surprised, right?" Giza looked at him with a smile. "But this is life, isn't it?
"Do you know, even in a vacuum without air, there are incomparably great lives that can stubbornly survive?"
Asda looked at her, and his face shone with blue light.
"That boy is really lucky. Are you ready for the second round?" The Blood Mystic shook her head coquettishly. The blood veins on her face began to turn an even more terrifying dark purple. "It's coming."
"If you evolve again, you'll have to 'knock on the Door'." The Air Mystic was emotionless, as if he was extremely rational. He looked at Giza calmly, as if she was not chasing after the Mystic candidate he was supposed to protect. "Are you sure?"
"Ah, puppy Asda." The Blood Mystic licked the corner of her mouth, charming and mischievous.
"I'm sure.
"You have to keep a close eye on him."
— —
In the distance, on a small roof in Armor District, a young man in white watched the terrifying scene in Shield District with a solemn expression. He stared at the terrifying monster that was dozens of meters tall.
He was not the only one who came out to watch the show.
On both sides of the streets of the Armor District, residents of all sizes came out of their houses, pointing at the monster in horror.
But this young man seemed a little special. He was strangely … talking to the air?
"Hmm, yes," the young man in white said worriedly, "It has already begun.
But there is a small — no, a very big accident. "
The young man took a deep breath, raised his right hand, and said to the air,
"That homicidal maniac seems to be more violent than expected. Does Black Sword really have the ability to force that monster into such a state?"
The young man paused for a moment, then nodded.
"Yes, at this rate, I suspect that the entire Dragon Clouds City will be torn down by it."
In the distance, the monster abruptly shrank.
"Alright, I'll continue to observe … Oh, it seems that the commotion has quieted down." The young man breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "But I suggest that we should be more cautious and consider a few more possibilities. Perhaps there are some unexpected factors tonight."
A few minutes later …
* Boom! *
A violent explosion suddenly came from Shield District!
The young man widened his eyes. He stared at Shield District in the distance. It was filled with single-story houses of all sizes, but one layer of Shield District seemed to have been flattened!
"My God, you won't believe this!" The young man said hurriedly, "This is too ridiculous. That monster looks like it wants to destroy the world!
"Something unexpected must have happened. Whether it's Ramon or Black Sword, I don't believe that they can make that monster go this far!
"Are you sure this is okay?"
The young man froze for a moment. His expression was unpleasant.
"Yes." The young man exhaled. "Then let's do this."
The young man put down his right hand and did not speak anymore.
Only his expression was even more solemn than before.
— —
"Your Majesty, did you see it?"
Nicholas hurriedly rushed to the high platform and reported to King Nuven.
The old king stared at Dragon Clouds City beneath the high platform. He stared at the farthest, lowest, largest, and most populous district.
"Ah." King Nuven gritted his teeth. His eyes were bloodshot. "I saw it."
Just now, a giant blood-red monster suddenly appeared there. It was followed by countless tremors and screams that could even be heard clearly in Heroic Spirit Palace.
Then, the monster fell silent again.
However, a few minutes later, another loud bang rang in the air. The entire Shield District shrank by a level that could be seen with the naked eye!
"This is really unexpected."
King Nuven's words were laced with deep hostility. "Aside from Raikaru, I am probably the first Northland King who was' lucky 'enough to see it in more than six hundred years."
King Nuven clenched his fists. Anger and hatred surged in his eyes.
"The monster that can only be seen in pictures since I was young …
"The hydra, Kilika.
"Raikaru's mortal enemy."
King Nuven slammed his palm on the platform. The veins on his hand bulged.
Nicholas gritted his teeth. He glanced at his blade and slowly tightened his grip on the hilt.
"What happened to Shield District?"
King Nuven controlled his tone and tried his best to ask calmly, "How many residents were evacuated? What about the patrol team's report? "
Behind him, the Red Witch, Calshan, walked forward with a solemn expression.
She looked at the smoke-filled district in the distance and sighed slowly.
When she raised her head again, the Red Witch's eyes regained their clarity and calmness.
"Your Majesty," the Red Witch said flatly, "Forgive me for being blunt.
"I'm afraid it has …"
Calshan bowed slightly respectfully.
