Chapter 833: Reunion

When Lu Mian pulled out the headless corpse of the "Abscessed Hand" and activated the black mark on his right shoulder, besides hearing Zhu Li's voice, he also heard a sharp, exaggerated sound of heavy objects falling rapidly.

He instinctively chose the farthest place he could sense as the destination for his "teleportation."

Lu Mian's figure had just disappeared from the spot when Albus entered this area with two steel combat puppets.

He hadn't been affected by Lu Mian's act of pretending to rush to the mountain of corpses first. Instead, he bullied the other party for not being able to see, condensed a scorching white flame spear, and manually threw it forward, using it to drive Lu Mian out of the corridor to face possible dangers and potential concentrated fire.

And he himself lagged behind by two or three meters, leaving enough reaction time—if Lu Mian were truly besieged or controlled, he could bypass the dangerous area in time and approach the mountain of corpses from the side.

Of course, Albus didn't dare to lag too far behind. After all, Lu Mian had just proven that he had a way to keep himself from being attacked by Te Wanake, and it was indeed possible for him to arrive at the destination without any obstruction and very quickly. If Albus waited for ten or twenty seconds before entering this area, the other party might have already had direct contact with "0-01"!

"In war, being too fast and too slow are both reasons for failure..." Albus had just flashed this thought when he heard the terrifying falling sound that caused a horrific explosion in the air.

A steel combat puppet he was using raised its head and looked toward the high sky, seeing a huge meteorite burning with bright flames, illuminating the entire land, and falling straight toward the area filled with armored soldiers and countless corpses in a posture of destroying everything, falling toward the entrance area, falling toward Albus and Te Wanake, who was thirty or forty meters away from him.

The meteorite fell faster and faster, quickly exceeding the speed of sound.

Further away, Zhu Li, wearing a low-cut dress with a slit, held a lantern and stood in mid-air with the help of layers of ice stairs.

Her left hand, wearing a sapphire ring, drew an arc from top to bottom, pointing at where Te Wanake and Albus were.

"Sow-raised bitch!"

Since entering Morora, this was the first time Albus had cursed in his heart uncontrollably.

Isn't this not yet praying for descent?

Isn't this not yet in a state of descent?

How can you, this sow, summon a meteorite?

What about the rules of Morora? What about "0-01"? Restrict it, this is the ability of a "Calamity Demoness"!

Moreover, that "Demoness" isn't even blindfolded!

This isn't right!

Although it could be seen that the meteorite hadn't reached the level of being able to destroy a city, nor had it reached the level of a true "Calamity Demoness," Albus still felt heartfelt fear at this moment.

He had already become a member of the "War of Red" legion rebuilt by his ancestor and could gather his power toward that Angel King. He could also share a certain amount of power from the other party and share part of the damage received. However, this was Morora, and it belonged to the core area of the underground mausoleum sealing "0-01," which had a very obvious weakening effect on special things that required internal and external linkage to be established. Albus could at most briefly use the power of Sequence 4 and a weakened version of certain abilities with higher status, and the damage shared out couldn't exceed one-third.

Now, let alone sharing one-third of the damage, even if he could reach half or two-thirds, the remainder wasn't something Albus's current body could bear.

That is, the meteorite's fall required some time, otherwise Albus would have already become a charred corpse torn apart.

Wearing a black eye patch, he tilted his head slightly, letting the hair on his back ignite with crimson flames, constantly extending toward his back.

The bones and flesh under his skin faintly revealed a bit of iron-black luster.

Immediately after, he transformed into a scorching white flame spear and flew rapidly to the right, rolling up the two steel combat puppets.

He had already borrowed the power of that "Red Angel." The countermeasure he could think of now was to first avoid where the meteorite landed, and then rely on his ancestor's shared damage, his own brief metalization, and the two steel combat puppets that could be used as shields to survive the subsequent damage and live through the violent wind waves spreading outward.

Yes, Albus specifically took away the steel combat puppets not because he couldn't bear to part with his "eyes," nor because he had any love for such items.

They were such good shields!

Te Wanake, who was the main target of the meteorite, made the same choice as Albus, but this most dangerous person in Morora didn't have steel combat puppets to provide the final protection, and he was also suffering from the obstruction of layers of invisible spiderwebs around him.

As those spider silk threads protruded one by one and were stained with a grayish-white color, the scorching white flame spear Te Wanake had transformed into became slower and slower.

Bang!

That burning meteorite smashed more than ten meters behind Te Wanake.

Boom!

The rolling dust, scorching flames, and terrifying shockwaves instantly swallowed Te Wanake.

The body of this most dangerous person in Morora, which presented a metallic luster, instantly cracked, as if it had turned into a charred corpse.

Albus, who had already escaped for a short distance, was slapped onto that scorching white flame spear by the violent wind, which directly slapped him toward the ground.

In the sound of "clang," the steel combat puppet that served as the first shield quickly dented, partially cracked, and instantly lost the feeling of being a puppet, turning into a pile of scrap iron.

Immediately following, the second steel combat puppet suffered serious damage, and then it was Albus Medici. He broke away from the flame spear state, violently spat out a mouthful of burning blood, and his metalized body suffered damage accordingly.

Lu Mian, who didn't know where he had "teleported" to, first heard the explosion, and then felt the wind waves that were like substance slapping on his body, followed by the burning of flames.

His ears were briefly deaf, and he could no longer draw knowledge from the brass earplugs. He was thrown away, but the intensity of the shockwave had dropped to a level that a "Reaper" could accept.

As for the flames brought by the violent wind, they could only ignite his clothes, bandages, and hair, making it difficult to cause too obvious burning damage to his body, and they were quickly extinguished by his ability to control flames.

Plop!

Lu Mian fell heavily to the ground, almost dropping the carbide lamp in his hand.

The bandages on his face that had been burned off fell off accordingly. Fortunately, he had kept his eyes closed the whole time.

At the same time, Lu Mian felt that the headless corpse of the "Abscessed Hand" he was holding in his right hand and the rotten head of the "Abscessed Hand" he was holding in his left hand became restless, each using a terrifying force that could drag his body to approach the other.

Lu Mian didn't stop them, but instead let go of both hands.

He activated the black mark on his right shoulder again and "teleported" to the limit of his current sensing range.

He wanted to stay away from the body parts of the "Abscessed Hand" that were about to aggregate, so as not to become the first target of attack. That wouldn't achieve the goal of letting the dangers collide with each other, but would easily cause himself to fall into a situation of being besieged!

When choosing the "teleportation" destination, Lu Mian also deliberately avoided where the heavy objects fell and where Zhu Li's voice came from.

In an environment filled with thick smoke and dust, Lu Mian's figure disappeared from the spot, and the two parts of the blue-black, rotten corpse of the "Abscessed Hand" came together.

The only palm of the headless corpse grabbed the head that looked like weeds, eagerly trying to install it on the neck.

But this attempt was hindered by some kind of obstruction; there seemed to be an unwritten rule in the underground mausoleum that the head and body must be separated.

Of course, the obstruction didn't truly stop that head from returning to the neck it belonged to; it only increased the difficulty and reduced the speed of reorganization.

On the other side, the rolling flames and scattered smoke and dust calmed down a little. Zhu Li, standing at the top of the ice stairs, saw that Te Wanake had lost his life, lying on the ground, his body covered in deep cracks and charred marks.

She quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Te Wanake had always been the opponent she was most wary of. She had previously regretted that Lu Mian had escaped early and they hadn't been able to seize the opportunity to join forces to finish off Te Wanake.

Just at this moment, the charred corpse of Te Wanake moved.

This most dangerous person in Morora leaped up, and two clusters of burning dark red flames appeared in his eye sockets.

He had become an undead!

For Te Wanake, who had surrendered to "0-01" and was equivalent to a special puppet, it seemed there was no essential difference between being alive and existing in an undead state.

Moreover, as an undead, he could borrow some other power!

He opened his arms, tilted his head slightly, and emitted a sound like a war roar.

Suddenly, the lantern Zhu Li was holding extinguished, and the flames in the area around the mountain of corpses all dissipated. Only the lantern in Albus's hand and the carbide lamp Lu Mian was holding, protected by the instinct of their "Hunter" power, swayed, flickering, and continued to burn.

The darkness surged in again, but it didn't swallow Zhu Li.

Nothing happened? Albus, who saw this scene through the last steel combat puppet, couldn't help but frown:

"That sapphire ring can also protect Zhu Li from the darkness erosion and dissolution in the underground mausoleum?

"That shouldn't be!

"Even if it could, what was the meaning of Zhu Li holding a lantern before? To mislead us?

"Also, the ability of a 'Calamity Demoness' shouldn't have appeared, even if it was just a weakened version...

"There must be something wrong somewhere!"

At this time, Zhu Li emitted a low, scratching laughter and pointed her left hand toward the sky again.

The dim, dark high sky suddenly lit up with faint light, and one sharp ice crystal after another condensed and fell toward the wilderness like a rainstorm, falling toward Te Wanake, Albus, and Lu Mian.

Te Wanake roared again.

This was like a war drum, striking Zhu Li's heart, making her whole body stiffen for a moment.

Immediately after, a tornado connecting heaven and earth roared into shape, sweeping all the ice crystals and rushing back toward Zhu Li.

Just at this moment, whether it was Lu Mian with his eyes closed, Albus with his eyes blindfolded, or Zhu Li and Te Wanake with vision like normal, they all felt the whole world shake, and heard the void around them emit a fragile creaking sound.

The blue-black, rotten "Abscessed Hand" corpse finally installed its head back on its neck.
