Chapter 819: Lightning Strike (Wishing everyone a peaceful Dragon Boat Festival)

The scorching white flame spear that Albus had turned into was about to crash into the layered gray-white "fishing net," but suddenly disintegrated on its own in mid-air.

In the scorching white flames dripping like rain, Albus's figure emerged, falling rapidly toward the ground to avoid the "Witch's" spider silk.

The scorching white fire crows with blue produced by the tin soldier each drew a not-so-small arc, corrected their flight direction, and locked onto Albus again. Wanake, who had risen into mid-air with the help of the hurricane, also jumped down, holding the flame giant sword high, and slashed fiercely at the target.

The sound of a booming explosion and the sound of metal being hit sounded at the same time. The scorching white fire crow swarm with blue surrounded Albus, who had not yet stepped on the ground, and crashed into him, either individually or in groups, attacking this member of the Medici family without any pause.

The wind wave raised by the explosion and the scattered scorching white firelight with blue threw Albus backward and high, just in time to meet Wanake who was jumping and slashing.

Clang!

Wanake's flame giant sword was like hitting a piece of metal, slashing out a cracking sound of "crack."

The violent power that appeared as a result pressed on Albus's body, letting him smash heavily toward the ground from a height of two or three meters.

Boom!

The road surface hit by the violent impact concave downward, revealing the underground hollow filled with thick fog.

Albus fell into it.

Wanake's feet had just landed, and he was about to jump into the hollow, not giving Albus a chance to escape and recover.

Suddenly, he hesitated significantly and did not make this choice.

He could only use Morora's special to create a hurricane, but he couldn't let the hurricane blow accurately into the underground, only raging within this "City of Exile."

Under these circumstances, fighting a "Hunter" with special abilities in a hollow filled with the fog of war and a visibility of only ten meters was definitely not a wise plan, as it would put himself in danger.

At this time, Lu Mian had ended his attempt to exchange fate and withdrew his fist.

He deeply suspected that Albus's destination for escaping just now was not the outside of this ruin, but the underground hollow covered by the fog of war!

This member of the Medici family never thought about breaking through the obstruction of "Hunters," "Witches," and monsters easily from the beginning, but deliberately showed this tendency, and then with the help of the power of obstruction, forcibly crashed through the road surface that had already been crumbling in the previous battle, falling into the real destination.

In that way, he could rely on the environment to effectively get rid of the situation of being besieged, try to hide himself well, and escape to other possible exits.

"Is this packaging the real purpose to confuse the enemy? As expected of a member of the Medici family..." Lu Mian nodded thoughtfully.

At the same time, he also found that Albus's defense was surprisingly strong.

He not only resisted the bombardment of the tin soldier's fire crow cluster, but also blocked Wanake's strike using "Harvest." The final result was only suffering injuries that were not serious.

It was obviously impossible to achieve this by relying on the body's metalization to a certain extent. Lu Mian suspected that there were items similar to the "Sword of Courage" or "companions" helping Albus share at least half of the damage.

Thinking of the fact that this member of the Medici family showed a level exceeding Sequence 5 and some abilities that Sequence 5 did not possess, Lu Mian reasonably speculated that he had a special connection with that "Red Angel," could share a little of the other party's power, and let the other party bear part of the damage for himself—this seemed to be an ability that the "Hunter" pathway would possess and gradually deepen starting from a demigod.

If it weren't for being in Morora, the seal of "0-01," Lu Mian believed that Albus could definitely borrow the power of a real demigod, instead of having many restrictions like now.

Just as the tin soldier was about to jump into the underground hollow filled with the fog of war to chase Albus Medici, the mother-fied Gusin lifted his head and let out a shrill and harsh howl.

Lu Mian and Wanake's brains buzzed at the same time, their thoughts were pricked and shattered, their life force passed away rapidly, bringing a weakness from the depths of their souls.

Crack.

In the darkness on the edge of the block, a mirror shattered and fell to the ground, and Zhu Li's figure was quickly outlined.

The next second, Gusin cast his gaze toward Lu Mian, completely ignoring the existence of Wanake and Zhu Li.

He touched his increasingly bulging belly, and his blue eyes became unusually fierce.

Driven by his will, the tin soldier with strength close to Sequence 4 gave up the attempt to chase Albus Medici, turned his body, and locked onto Lu Mian.

Seeing this, Lu Mian endured the throbbing pain in his brain and the buzzing sound in his ears, and smiled and waved at Gusin and the tin soldier.

His figure then disappeared from the spot, leaving Gusin and the tin soldier to Wanake and Zhu Li.

Bye-bye, you guys!

Lu Mian's "teleportation" destination was the entrance of the Church of Knowledge, where he happened to see two teams of law enforcers in black robes running out.

He walked into the church with a smile, found a corner to sit on the ground, took out a borrowed book from his "Traveler's Bag," leaned against the brass bookshelf, and focused on studying.

He was worried that the child Gusin was pregnant with had some big problems and would target him, so he simply ran to the Church of Knowledge to seek shelter.

I'm reading so seriously, shouldn't you guys in the Church of Knowledge show something?

In the ruins where the buildings had collapsed for the most part, Wanake saw Gusin's abdomen bulging more and more, looking more and more like a pregnant woman about to give birth.

That belly began to squirm, as if something strange wanted to drill out of it.

Wanake's eyes froze, and he immediately raised his hands, lifted his head, and looked at the gloomy sky.

Dark clouds gathered instantly at the height, and Morora's weather changed again.

Silver-white electric snakes swam rapidly between the dark clouds, gathered together, and turned into a thunder tree as thick as a water bucket, slashing toward the ground.

The target of this terrifying lightning was Gusin and the baby in his belly!

Gusin had long since disappeared, hiding in a very illusory barren wilderness.

But that silver-white "giant python" chased him relentlessly, penetrated the void, and fell from the height of the wilderness,

hitting Gusin's abdomen at an unavoidable speed.

Bang!

The thunder in mid-air woke up all the exiles in the city.

That barren wilderness shattered like a mirror, and Gusin reappeared in the ruins of the street with a pitch-black abdomen, emitting a burnt fragrance.

Plop, a piece of charred rotten meat fell from his belly to the ground, struggled a few times, and completely lost movement.

Gusin then froze, his life force swayed and fell to the ground as if it had been completely sucked away.

His flesh and blood shriveled rapidly, and the whole person turned into a scorched dry corpse, with large blood-colored blisters emerging on his body surface.

Another lightning bolt composed of countless silver-white fine snakes fell, hitting Gusin who was still growing blisters.

Boom!

Gusin twitched a few times and died completely.

"Mom!" The tin soldier who helped bear part of the damage ran wildly toward Gusin, squatted down, and hugged him.

Zhu Li seized the opportunity, used the mirror to reflect the tin soldier's figure, and wiped it with the "Witch's" black flames.

The tin soldier was instantly ignited from the inside out by the pitch-black flames.

It stood up with a "swish," holding the metal spear covered with scorching white flames, and rushed violently toward Wanake and Zhu Li.

For the next period of time, fireballs, fire crows, mirror fragments, scorching white spears, burning fire rain, and other things flashed constantly, and the booming explosions were endless.

Just as Zhu Li was about to use a "mirror substitute" to leave this area and let Wanake face the tin soldier alone, the tin soldier trembled.

Still being burned by the "Witch's" black flames, its legs seemed unable to support its body, showing signs of rusting and melting.

Clang, clang, clang, metal parts with pitch-black flames fell to the ground from the tin soldier's body.

Not long after, this tin soldier turned into a pile of scrap iron.

Wanake, who had been supporting himself very hard and began to look forward to the arrival of the law enforcement team, quietly breathed a sigh of relief and sneered at the remains of the tin soldier:

"The end of having strength but no brain."

After speaking, this most dangerous person in Morora turned his head and looked at Zhu Li more than ten meters away.

Zhu Li's gaze first landed on his face, then moved downward, staying at the crotch.

This "Witch" shook her head quite disappointedly, as if regretting adding black flame curses to the tin soldier at the beginning, failing to wait for the opportunity for Wanake to suffer injuries and weaken.

While Wanake's eyes narrowed slightly, Zhu Li smiled and took a step back, merging into the shadows of the ruins.

At this time, the law enforcement team finally arrived at this block.

…………

In the underground hollow filled with the fog of war, Albus stood in a corner, leaning against the brown rock wall, his hair messy, his clothes tattered, with a white cigarette in his mouth.

This member of the Medici family took a deep breath of smoke and said to himself with regret:

"Actually, no one chased after me. I still wanted to give you a surprise..."

…………

Until the explosion in the distance subsided and the law enforcement team returned to the Church of Knowledge, Lu Mian left here and walked toward the "Carnivore" bar.

Morora Archbishop Heraberg never appeared, as if he didn't need to be on night duty.

Lu Mian was in no hurry to sleep, pinched out a scorching white fireball, and continued to read the books related to "0-01" at the desk.

Not long after, Zhu Li also returned and knocked on his door.

Lu Mian, with the scorching white fireball on top of his head, opened the poor-quality wooden door and found that the "Witch" next door had watery eyes and a flushed face, as if she had just finished some activity unsuitable for children.

In her hand, she held a blood-colored thing frozen in cold ice.

"Wanake's?" Lu Mian asked with a smile.

Zhu Li sighed and shook her head:

"No, didn't wait for the opportunity."

She then accused Lu Mian, which was also the purpose of her knocking on the door in the middle of the night:

"Why did you run away early? If the two of us joined forces, we could definitely cut off that thing of Wanake's!"

If I didn't run, I'm afraid something you wouldn't want to see would happen... Lu Mian laughed "hehe":

"Wanake and I are in a cooperative relationship."

"Pah." Zhu Li showed her disbelief with such a reaction.

After spitting, she turned her body and walked toward her room.

After walking two steps, she turned back and said to Lu Mian with a smile that was not a smile:

"I hope you won't regret today's choice."
