Chapter 260: Blood-Colored Twilight

"Ah!"

The man screamed. With the cooperation of the 【Ancient Witch's Golden Necklace】 and the 【Bordeaux Candle】, Xia De's Silver Moon Slash almost split the man's entire head in half.

But he was still not dead. While screaming, he swung his sword to block the dagger thrust by the weak Miss Anat behind him. Then, his body surged upward, pressing against the canopy overhead, and like a giant bat, he tried to fly out of the room.

But no matter how fast he flew, he wouldn't be faster than light. The arc-shaped light blade chased from behind him, slashing down the huge shadow that was flying up.

The man fell heavily to the ground, the blood-colored long sword in his right hand dissipated, and the 【Maze Candle】 in his left hand rolled to the side. The blood-colored fog emitted from his whole body forced Miss Annette to retreat.

"No, no, I can't be injured here! That tree... no! Damn it! Can't be injured here."

"Detective, his state is wrong, be careful."

Miss Annette reminded. Her short hair was scattered behind her head, and there was a shallow bloodstain on her face. Xia De had never seen this lady so embarrassed. It seemed that while Xia De was confronting the Silver-Eyed One, the battle outside was also very intense.

"I know, you guys be careful too, that tree..."

"Haha."

The laughter came from under the tree again, and the ghostly blue tree vines illuminated the man under the tree again.

"Silver-Eyed One!"

Miss Miss Beiya finally endured the urge to throw the Sunlight Gun there.

"This damn thing, the damn Blood Spirit School! You were injured here! You are done for too! 【Corpse Tree】 won't let anyone go."

The man under the tree laughed, and behind the Fifth-Ring Ringed Shushi in the blood fog, the Life Ring appeared clearly. But its core runes were not all the brass-colored 【Enlightenment】; the core rune of the 【Blood-Sucking Species】 was the black iron color of Whisper.

"I smelled moonlight, who exactly are you?"

The trembling voice became hoarse, without the magnetism when talking to Miss Annette just now.

Xia De took a step back, lit the candle to hide his figure again, and silver mist appeared, 【Moon Shadow Illusion】 wrapped the two ladies in it.

And the man who climbed up from the ground had an extra terrible crack on his face and back, and the flesh at the wound squirmed, treating his wounds at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At the same time, at the crack, small, difficult-to-observe wooden tentacles swayed gently, as if trying to combine with those flesh buds.

Miss Miss Beiya shook the holy bell and threw the Sunlight Gun at the gradually alienating man, but the tree vines overhead took the initiative to block the thunder:

"What?"

The blood-colored light behind the vampire's back flickered, and then the whole person turned into a streak of blood light. It didn't rush toward the two ladies in the illusion, but instead rushed toward Xia De who should be in an invisible state.

"He can see me too?"

Xia De dodged in a hurry, but after the blood fog around the man expanded to the side, Xia De's figure actually floated out of the air.

"I smelled moonlight! Who are you?"

The cracks on his head were constantly healing, but his appearance became more and more ferocious. He seemed a bit crazy, the blood-colored light hit Xia De, and almost in the next moment, it was about to alienate into a claw-like right hand that strangled Xia De's throat, lifting him high.

It's just that the golden necklace around Xia De's neck became hot and burning after being touched by the claw.

"What is this?"

Golden radiance bloomed from the witch's necklace, and the strength of that claw immediately relaxed a bit, giving Xia De a chance:

"Choking the neck never kills anyone! Kill you, and this adventure will end."

He said words that no one could understand, and the radiance in his right hand swung forward, hard-cutting off the right arm that had become exceptionally thick, as if attached with wooden armor.

The man with a tall figure in the blood fog staggered backward, but the blood sprayed from the severed arm turned into two blood-colored long swords and stabbed at Xia De.

The short blade at his fingertips split the first long sword, but the second sword stabbed into Xia De's left shoulder.

Xia De endured the urge to cry out in pain, his right hand gripped the sword wanting to pull it out, but the blood light of the long sword flickered, and he felt his whole body's blood boiling, completely unable to control his own blood.

"Sunlight Gun!"

The crisp sound of the bell reached his ears, and then the golden thunder shot from behind the vampire, piercing his heart straight through.

The blood fog became more intense, Xia De staggered and wanted to escape, but the pain at the wound stabbed by the blood-colored long sword almost paralyzed himself.

【The Whisper element on you...】

"I know, I am also injured, that tree is affecting me."

The long sword hadn't been pulled out, but wooden tentacles had appeared at the wound.

"You are also done for."

The Silver-Eyed One's voice seemed to come from far away, and Xia De felt his consciousness a bit blurred.

In the silver moon illusion that hadn't faded, Miss Miss Beiya threw the Sunlight Gun and seemed to be unable to act anymore as if she had run out of strength. Miss Annette didn't try to use the golden dagger in her hand to attack again, but took off the butterfly-shaped hair accessory from her pocket and threw it forward.

Pale blue transparent butterfly groups immediately mixed with the blood light around the man's body.

The blood light weakened slightly, and the vampire's face was finally revealed. The crack on his face split by Xia De was not repaired. On the contrary, some tentacles like vines were trying to drill out from the wound. The entire head therefore expanded to twice its size, and small wooden tentacles spread from the wound toward the entire face, revealing black patterns like tattoos on the face.

The twisted and eerie feeling made the guy who was not a human to begin with even more unlike a human. The alienated body carried a primitive sense of fear, and the indescribable eerie shape seemed to give it more powerful strength. 【260

Black mist mixed with blood-colored mist swirled around him. In those beast-like yellow vertical pupils, the spark of intelligence vanished bit by bit, while madness and cruelty grew stronger and stronger.

"Damn it! He's lost control; that tree is influencing him!"

The purple-eyed diviner groaned. Just as he was about to pull something else from his pocket, he discovered the vampire's figure before him growing taller and taller. The blood mist swallowed the blue butterfly swarm, and his shadow on the ground had actually transformed into the shape of a great tree.

A bell tolled, a steam whistle wailed, and there was also the barely perceptible flapping of a swarm of bat wings. A low voice, like rubbing rusted metal, echoed in everyone's ears:

"The blood-sucking monster roars at..."

The spiritual runes on the life ring behind the Fifth-Ring Sorcerer rearranged rapidly. Miss Anat was stunned:

"This is..."

"Words of Sublimation! He's completely insane!"

The Silver-Eyed One laughed mockingly, wanting to watch everyone here die with him. But the Silver-Eyed One himself had absolutely no intention of using Words of Sublimation; he was afraid of death and would never perform such a crazy act.

Miss Anat could not worry about the madman under the tree for the moment. She wanted to run toward Xia De, who had collapsed on the ground, but felt the air turn into a viscous liquid in an instant, making it impossible to break through.

"... under the blood-colored sunset."

A bloody scent swept over, and blood-colored light filled their vision. With the use of the Words of Sublimation, everything around them changed.

A tall monster stood in the ruins of the twilight sunset. Crooked, towering buildings were visible everywhere in the distance, and behind it was a blood-red setting sun.
