Chapter 2494

~9 min read 1,727 words

Caesar slightly tilted his head to look at Carolus, momentarily speechless—kill them first? Then put on the "Ring of Peniel," pick up the "Spear of Danes"? Hearing that, there's no problem at all.

"Since you insist, then fine."

Caesar slowly stepped back; in the inner side of the sleeping chamber, Carolus held her longsword with one hand, silver-gray flames of death rising from it, while her sister Camilla lay on her back at that moment, head resting on Carolus's left shoulder.

The black sludge on Carolus's lower half surged, wrapping Camilla on her back inside it, exposing only Camilla's upper body—one sister frail, the other half-monster, the over-three-meter-long longsword fitting perfectly in Carolus's hand without appearing oversized.

Camilla's pupils turned emerald green, the breath of life appearing; one sister represented life, the other death, the two breaths alternating—this power gained after devouring the divine spirits: life from the Peruvian divine spirit, death from the Sand Flame divine spirit.

Naturally, the main force in battle was the elder sister Carolus; the younger sister Camilla was likely ranged and could heal the damage Carolus sustained.

Crack crack crack~

Frost spread through the sleeping chamber, sealing all exits, isolating this huge chamber from the outside world.

Cold air drifted in Am's hand, forming an ice war hammer; since entering this world, it had intermittently shut itself off, having swum gloomily in the sea for so many days—today it finally had a chance to vent.

Bubu Wang blended into the environment; Bu Bu Wang circled above the sleeping chamber—this chamber over ten meters high allowed it to exploit its aerial advantage.

Gray thin mist and tree trunks spread across the ground; Carolus glanced at Bu Bu Wang, then turned to Am, in her view, this never-before-seen minotaur was the most troublesome.

Boom!

Carolus vanished from her spot, rushing straight at Am; the next moment she disappeared, she appeared before Am—compared in height, Carolus was now taller than Am, as the height representative of Su Xiao's squad, Am had encountered a formidable foe.

Pfft.

A palm-wide longsword sliced into Am's chest; Am neither dodged nor avoided, swinging a hammer straight at Carolus's head.

With a bang, the shockwave spread; Carolus slightly tilted her head, faint ice traces appearing on her forehead—but that was all.

A breaking wind sound came from behind Carolus—it was Bu Bu Wang, targeting Camilla lying on Carolus's back.

Sharp eagle talons pierced Camilla's neck; Camilla didn't move at all, even closing her eyes.

"Wu suo suo yi mu."

Camilla uttered strange incantation sounds from her mouth; her blood traces suddenly turned emerald green, climbing onto Bu Bu Wang.

Boom!

A giant fist formed from tree branches smashed down from above, hammering Bu Bu Wang into the ground.

Compared to Camilla and Bu Bu Wang's fight, Carolus and Bu Bu Wang's close combat was far more brutal.

Carolus swung her greatsword; the first strike sent Am flying halfway into the air, the second cut through Am's chest, the third through his back—blood spattered everywhere.

After delivering those three strikes, Carolus flipped her greatsword, switching to a reverse grip; as Am hit the ground, she thrust one sword through his chest, pinning him to the ground while the silver-gray fire ring spread, lifting large stone slabs off the ground.

"Too weak."

Carolus gripped her sword hilt normally, pulled the greatsword from the ground, blood spreading beneath Am.

"Your turn."

Carolus surged her long tail, just about to approach Su Xiao, when a large hand pressed down on the ground.

Am, his whole body steaming with cold air, rose from the ground, tilted his neck, and with a crack, realigned his misaligned vertebrae.

Am exhaled white air from his nose; that enemy's strike just now had stabbed him painfully.

Just as Am prepared to charge forward, he heard the sound of a sword being drawn.

"Go recover first."

Footsteps came from behind Am; he touched his head, stepped aside.

Carolus looked down at Su Xiao from above, her gaze somewhat doubtful, but soon she sensed something wrong.

"You..."

Clang!

Blade light slashed toward him; Su Xiao suddenly vanished from his spot.

With a clang, Carolus horizontally blocked the blade light with her sword—but just then, a sense of crisis suddenly appeared at her side.

"Blade Path Sword · Time."

Dong~

A shockwave spread; Carolus felt everything around her slow down.

"Blade Path Sword · Slay."

The longsword slanted downward, drawing a massive blood-colored silk band that enveloped the Carolus sisters.

"Ah!"

Camilla's scream came from within the blood-colored silk band; the band had not yet dissipated, when a green energy beam shot toward Su Xiao.

Su Xiao was about to charge forward when he immediately turned his head; a finger-thick green light beam swept past his ear, blasting into the wall behind him, where the wall rapidly turned into trees—this was a very troublesome ability.

Su Xiao took several swift steps, lunging to Carolus's side; Carolus turned and swung her sword.

Clang!

The longsword was blocked by Su Xiao's blade; the ground beneath his feet cracked in large patches, the power gap significant, but he held firm.

150 points of true strength attribute reward—Perfect Counter (rare reward): in melee, if successfully parrying an enemy attack and the strength attribute gap with the enemy is under 20 points, exempt from knockback effect, shock damage taken reduced by 83%, and a strength recoil forms, slightly knocking back the enemy while temporarily reducing the enemy's strength attribute by 5 points; this effect lasts 6 minutes, no trigger cooldown, can stack up to three times, each time doubling the duration.

……

The greatsword sliced across the blade edge of Dragon-Slaying Flash, sparks flying; Su Xiao didn't retreat, but stepped forward and kicked straight ahead.

Bang!

Su Xiao kicked Carolus's black-sludge-like lower half; Carolus's body uncontrollably leaned forward, Su Xiao immediately lowered his body and delivered a side kick.

With a thunderous boom, the numb Carolus was swept sideways by Su Xiao's side kick and fell; seizing the opportunity, Su Xiao leapt low, flipped his longsword in hand, gripped it with both hands, and stabbed downward.

Swish— the longsword pierced Carolus's chest; this wasn't over yet—Su Xiao dragged Dragon-Slaying Flash, the longsword cutting across Carolus's chest straight to her neck, ultimately cleaving her skull in two.

The longsword severed Carolus's skull, blood flying in midair.

Carolus's body twisted, suddenly raising her upper half; emerald-green energy appeared on her body surface, her wounds healing at a visible speed.

Carolus, as if gone mad, single-handedly gripped her greatsword and wildly slashed at Su Xiao.

Ding, ding, ding!

Qi waves surged in all directions; Su Xiao blocked with the Dragon-Slaying Flash from different angles, and slowly retreated.

After blocking four swords in succession, just as Carolos experienced recoil from consecutive full-force slashes and momentarily stalled, Su Xiao drew his blade.

"Blade Dao Knife · Azure Demon."

Azure-blue blade light flashed, severing a piece of Carolos's skull; she screamed in pain and retreated, clutching her head with one hand.

In strength and speed, Su Xiao was inferior to Carolos; moreover, Carolos's back-mounted Camela possessed an ability that was nearly unsolvable—any injury from her power would cause "life overdraft," turning part or all of the body into wood, permanently transforming the victim into a vegetative state.

When comparing ability levels and attributes, the two sisters, working together, completely overwhelmed Su Xiao; yet in actual combat, Su Xiao would hang the Carolos sisters up and whip them.

Su Xiao held the knife in one hand, blade tip pointing diagonally at the ground, walking slowly forward; as soon as the enemy showed another opening, he could instantly sever Carolos's head.

Just as Su Xiao was about to charge forward, a buzzing sound appeared in his ears; he felt his vision blur, immediately contracted his senses, and stopped moving.

Carolos glared angrily at Su Xiao; at this moment she was dazed—clearly she was stronger, yet she couldn't land a single strike on him; clearly her speed was faster, her strength greater, and her internal energy more vast.

"Sister, we won't fight; if we continue, we will lose."

"Use me, awaken them."

"Hmm."

Carolos raised her left hand, seized her sister Camela's skull; the next moment, her mouth gaped wide, cheeks splitting on both sides, as she flung her sister into her mouth.

Crunch, crunch, crunch...

After several bites, Carolos had eaten her own younger sister, Camela.

Blood trickled from Carolos's mouth corners; she tilted her head back, two tear tracks streaked down her cheeks; at that exact moment, the buzzing in Su Xiao's ears faded, and his vision returned to normal.

"Kukulin Bai Ye, let me show you the strength of the Peniel family."

The "black sludge" beneath Carolos fell away; she pulled out some withered legs from the sludge, hunched her body and moved forward; despite this, she remained over two meters tall.

"We have been awakened again."

Carolos spoke; her voice was strange, indistinguishable as male or female, like many voices mixed together—male and female, old and young—these were the voices of the Peniel family's myriad kings, with Carolos as the leader, the Peniel family's myriad kings having been awakened.

Boom!

Carolos vanished from her spot; Su Xiao immediately shifted sideways, blocking the Dragon-Slaying Flash at his flank.

With a sizzle, the great sword swept past the blade's edge, sending sparks flying; Carolos then rushed past Su Xiao's side.

Pfft.

The great sword chopped through flesh, then followed with a dull impact's roar.

Bahah broke through a qi wave, flew backward, and ultimately crashed through a wall, unknown where he landed.

With a swish, the Amu, whose arm had been severed, collapsed; one hand grabbed its horn, flung it flying; it crashed through the wall with a thunderous boom, following Bahah's fate.

Blood and flesh surged on Carolos's back shoulder; her sister Camela burst forth from her body, still lying on Carolos's back; the two sisters not only had changed auras, but their gazes had changed as well.

Death + Life + the myriad kings of the Peniel family—this is the current Carolos sisters, the strongest boss in this world, strong enough to hang the God of Luxuriant Growth on a tree and whip him.

Su Xiao slightly lowered his body; before him stood someone very difficult to deal with—no, it should be that a slight mistake could possibly get him killed.
