Chapter 693

The scorching white firelight dissipated quickly. Lu Mi stood with his back to "Tewanaco," looked at the "Guardian" who was swaying and about to fall ten-plus meters away, and laughed softly:

"Before, I had to rely on the power of the team to defeat you, but now, I can kill you alone."

This was said to "Tewanaco."

"Tewanaco," who fell to the ground with his consciousness gradually blurring, heard this sentence. His hands instinctively wanted to clench, but he had no strength left.

A "ho-ho" sound came from his throat, his pupils dilated, and he couldn't recover his focus no matter what.

He regretted very much that when he turned his body to face Lu Mi, he chose to demonize instead of turning into a resentful spirit. Otherwise, he could have used "Resentful Spirit Scream" to interrupt the other party's attempt to blow that blackened bone flute. But there was no other way. He could only have a premonition of malice and the source of malice, without knowing the specific details. In such a situation, considering that Lu Mi could make bullets, fireballs, and other attacks carry electric shock effects and effectively target weaknesses, demonization was clearly more universal than turning into a resentful spirit and could guard against more types of accidents.

As for why he didn't condense a large number of sulfur fireballs and launch them over, posing a gesture of dying together, it was because "Tewanaco" felt that there was a not-short distance between the two sides. By the time he condensed ten or twenty sulfur fireballs and let them fly near Lu Mi, the other party would have long finished blowing, could use the "teleport" ability to calmly avoid the cluster bombing of sulfur fireballs, and spells like "Filthy Language" had distance restrictions.

Excluding all possibilities, in the state at that time, "Tewanaco" could only use "Emotional Shock" followed by "Desire Detonation" to target Lu Mi's weaknesses, hoping that after both sides suffered serious injuries, the speed of recovery would not be much different, and he would have a chance to make a new response.

However, Lu Mi was clearly still swaying, his face full of pain and blood, his eyes not normal, remaining with a little confusion, but he endured various negative influences and preemptively completed the very precise range bombing attached with electric shock effects, which let himself suffer new injuries and fall into a state of numbness for a short time.

"Ho-ho..."

"Tewanaco" tried his best to let himself lose control and drag Lu Mi to die together, but the passing of his life had reached the limit. His field of vision was occupied by deep darkness, and his consciousness, carrying unwillingness, resentment, and pain, sank into the depths of that darkness and merged with it.

The huge demon body twitched a few times and completely lost movement.

"Tewanaco's" last hope of resurrection was shattered.

He died completely.

While Lu Mi was speaking, he pulled out his revolver and aimed at that "Guardian" not far away.

The "Guardian," whose emotions were chaotic and thoughts drifting, instinctively condensed a giant sword of light, knelt on one knee, and inserted it in front of him.

That combined with the earth, as if forming an unbreakable invisible wall.

As a gravekeeper who merged with a dream projection, facing "Hate Movement," this "Guardian" couldn't make an effective defense at all. And his companions, those "Spirit Witches" and "Soul Soothers," hadn't anticipated that they would encounter such an attack and couldn't pull him or other companions into the dream in time to avoid hearing that melody directly. He could only bear the detonation of desires and emotions once with the strength of his body and soul.

For a Path Feifanzhe with a dream projection, this is a heavy blow that will endanger life.

Afterward, this gravekeeper hadn't recovered yet when he was directly hit by the scorching white fireball wrapped in electric light and exploded on his body.

That is, the grace he obtained was "Guardian," otherwise he would have already become straw to be harvested like his companions, and wouldn't be able to make a certain defense purely by instinct.

Lu Mi's green eyes seemed to be stained with a bit of iron black, and he pulled the trigger in a standing posture.

Bang! Bang!

Two bright yellow bullets with scorching white firelight and silver-white lightning hit the same point on the invisible wall continuously.

Rumble!

The invisible wall, which was already somewhat unstable, collapsed with a crash, and that "Guardian" watched helplessly as a scorching white long spear wrapped in electric light shot over, pierced his chest, and flew into the distance.

Another "harvest," another digestion.

The "Guardian" used his last bit of consciousness to let the giant sword of light in his hand disintegrate into countless tiny fragments.

These light fragments turned into a hurricane and swept toward the surroundings.

Chased by the light storm, the scorching white flame long spear flew twenty or thirty meters and finally fell down.

As the firelight dissipated, Lu Mi, wearing a white shirt, black vest, dark trousers, and a golden straw hat, straightened his waist and back.

Behind him, the bright and terrifying light storm gradually calmed down, the ground became a thick layer thinner, and the corpses of those dead gravekeepers and "Tewanaco" appeared damaged and scattered.

Affected by "Hate Movement," his injuries exploded, and he became unusually serious. Dewaho looked at the corpses all over the ground and looked at Lu Mi, who was facing away from him in the distance. His already pale complexion became even uglier.

What is this situation?

Is this still a human?

Dewaho, who had an instinctive thought of revenge due to the blow, quickly gave up the corresponding idea. While letting the sulfur-smelling blood he spat out ignite with blue flames, he quickly retreated into the jungle.

He was going to flee here!

Anyway, he couldn't provide any help to the human skin transformed by that Grand Duke through the ritual. Staying in the black ancient tomb area had no meaning other than letting himself suffer more and greater dangers.

Lu Mi didn't care about the fleeing Dewaho. His body state was quite poor, but his spirituality was still quite abundant. He turned into a scorching white flame long spear again, flew across a distance of nearly a hundred meters, and fell beside Lu Jianuo, Ai Nana, and the others.

These four Path Feifanzhe, although they were in a comatose state just now and didn't directly hear the melody blown by "Hate Movement," the influence they received was very light, just having a nightmare, but this nightmare still made them feel pain, their expressions twisted, and they gradually woke up from the coma.

Seeing them open their eyes and find their thoughts, Lu Mi directly ordered:

"You retreat from here immediately, return to Tizamo Town and find a place to hide."

The competition in front of the black ancient tomb wasn't something Lu Jianuo and the others could get involved in. Lu Mi himself didn't dare to get close, so he planned to let the four temporary teammates stay away from this place.

He previously agreed to let Jiamou and Miss Ailuo follow, feeling that the former's "Mental Pierce" and other abilities and the latter's lightning arrows could effectively cooperate with him to deal with "Tewanaco's" dream projection and deal with Lei Yasa and others. Ai Nana's forced dream entry also had no small effect, and he had to follow her to truly approach the black ancient tomb without suffering the attack of that invisible shadow. Who knew, "Tewanaco" showed combat ability far exceeding Congressman Yu Ge, and this place wasn't closed, nor were there pre-set traps, so that Jiamou, Ai Nana, and the others not only failed to help but instead "hurt" each other and became a burden.

Recalling the two battles of capturing the real "Tewanaco" and dealing with Congressman Yu Ge, Lu Mi vaguely realized a truth:

Sometimes relying on a team is stronger, and sometimes being alone is more suitable. Different situations and different enemies cannot be treated and handled with the same standard, otherwise, it is very easy to suffer losses.

At this time, Lu Mi remembered a sentence that Roselle the Great once said, which his sister Aurora had explained to him:

Army operations have no fixed posture, just as flowing water has no fixed form.

"Can I return to Tizamo Town? Can I too?" Lu Jianuo was surprised and instinctively reached out his remaining palm, pressing the flickering glimmer onto the wounds Lu Mi suffered on his body surface.

——As a "Physician," Lu Jianuo couldn't directly treat the patient's internal organ injuries and had to open the cavity to touch the injured part, which was equivalent to performing a surgical operation.

Lu Mi nodded and said:

"You can, but you must be under the double gaze of Jiamou and Miss Ailuo."

He himself planned to stay for a while longer to see if he could help Ivelista Aiges, a member of the "Temperance Faction" of the "Fool" Church.

This is what a Minor Arcana of the "Tarot Society" should do.

Of course, Lu Mi certainly wouldn't enter the area in front of the black ancient tomb. That would only make him die without knowing how. He thought about whether he could influence the corresponding divine items by influencing Lei Yasa and others, or borrow the golden mask on "Tewanaco's" corpse to do something.

At this time, Dewaho, who had turned into a huge demon, had already entered the jungle and circled back to the road he came from.

He gathered his remaining strength and ran away.

As he ran, Dewaho suddenly stopped and looked suspiciously at the corner of the small path covered by trees.

Under the dim crimson moonlight, a short figure walked over there.

That figure was a seven or eight-year-old boy, wearing blue pajamas with yellow stars, wearing the same style of sleeping cap. His baby-fat face and the yellow short hair not covered by the cap were covered with cream, fresh blood, cookie crumbs, cake dregs, etc., and his brown eyes revealed intense hunger and longing.

Beside his mouth, the tail of a colorful, cold, and slippery poisonous snake was constantly twitching and shaking, being swallowed into his mouth section by section.

The boy's cheeks bulged, and he chewed hard.

The next second, he saw Dewaho.

Dewaho's mind was instantly filled with intense and terrifying malice.

…………

Lu Jianuo, who had received permission, was about to greet Jiamou, Miss Ailuo, and Ai Nana to return to Tizamo Town when he suddenly heard a scream full of fear in the jungle.

They stopped their steps at once.

A few seconds later, a pitch-black monster nearly three meters tall, with curved goat horns and bat-like wings, ran wildly from the jungle in the direction of Tizamo Town, running toward that black ancient tomb in a panic.

That man just now? He is also a "Demon"... Is he a minion of that devil from the North family? Is the green-eyed man formed by human skin the projection of the power of that devil from the North family into the "Dream Festival"? Lu Mi looked at the gloomy jungle behind the demon and suddenly had a bad premonition.

He made a decisive decision and said to Lu Jianuo, Ai Nana, and the others:

"Grab me!"

Lu Jianuo was very skilled, running back to Lu Mi's side and grabbing his arm.

Jiamou, Miss Ailuo, and Ai Nana were all stunned for a moment, imitating Lu Jianuo, and completed similar actions.

The five disappeared from the spot and appeared near "Tewanaco's" corpse.

As soon as Ai Nana's body was outlined, her eyes suddenly widened.

Her gaze solidified, and she said to Lu Mi in a low voice:

"That, that shadow, has appeared again..."
