Chapter 712: Attack 4
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“The situation is not good...” Xander muttered while hiding behind the truck door. The special heavy truck’s doors were strong enough to block the normal bullets flying around.
In this situation, not even he dared to charge in and start a killing spree. He could sense it if there were people aiming at him but if it was a stray bullet, he could not sense it whatsoever. In that case, he would not even know how he died.
Without anyone noticing, two black shadows flashed by and quickly dived into the back of a truck in the middle of the line.
Inside the dark truck was two slender figures.
“Is it here?”
“There is no mistake. Let’s see what kind of secret the Combat Club is protecting that these people would chase after them so tirelessly,” a man chuckled and reached his hand out to touch the box with a hole.
At the instance when he touched the box.
Boom!!!!!
A horrifying presence burst out from the box.
No! It was like an eruption had occurred, as if a volcano had spontaneously erupted at his touch. It was as though there was a being that could not wait to squeeze out this box.
“Take off the mask....I will give you an unimaginable power and wealth...” a voice in the man’s mind crooned to him.
“Take off...take off...take off...” the voice kept echoing inside the man’s mind.
“Mudin!”
A woman’s shout sounded beside his ear but the voice seed as though it ca from a place very far away.
His whole body trembled as his fingertips touched a thin and sowhat coarse mask. The mask seed to be full of little holes.
The voice tempting him echoed in his mind and brought him a sense of pleasure.
“Mudin! What happened to you?!” a woman’s voice sounded anxiously beside his ear.
The man was tugged from behind and his hand broke its contact with the box.
He ca back to his senses.
“I...I was nearly controlled!!!”
This...What was this thing!!??
He took a few steps back with his eyes full of fear while staring at the box.
A pair of blood-shot giant red eyes slowly erged from the dark within the truck. The eyes were incomparably tempting and dream-like. It did not have pupils that a human would have and had slightly golden vertical pupils instead.
“Co... Cute little fellow... Take off the mask and I shall bestow upon you power beyond anything that you can imagine...” a voice crossed over the space and echoed directly inside the minds of two Blood Breeds.
At this ti, even the female Blood Breed had gone pale, and her body trembled unconsciously while she tried to break free from the terrifying power that controlled them. They did not know how, but the blood inside their bodies was boiling and out of their control.
“Go!!!”
A circle of blood lines spread out beside the woman and sent both of them flying away. They slamd into the side of the truck’s door and crashed on to the dark road before they took off.
“No!!! Co back!! Co back here!!!”
Only the two Blood Breeds could hear the ferocious roar. They could feel the huge temptation behind them as if it was their fate and destiny.
“Don’t look back!! Damn it! What the hell is that!!?” the male Blood Breed’s eyes and nose were bleeding. He did not dare to turn back and madly dashed away with the female Blood Breed, leaving afterimages behind.
****************
Inside the underground palace in the distant.
Garen narrowed his eyes.
“Soone touched the mask...”
‘Never mind that, that thing is getting more and more troubleso. Even if the mask is suppressing it, as long as soone approached it rashly, they would be contaminated by the curses of the Void Creatures that you hunted down. Once the curse activated, a number of people must die before it stops. Taking away the mask is just asking for trouble,’ Black Sethe sounded as though he couldn’t care less.
Garen nodded slightly and continued to walk.
Sohow, there was a strange presence moving in front and the sll of blood drifted in the rough passage.
“Looks like I have to hurry up and leave this place. I need to collect all the masks and handle the problems here as soon as possible,” Garen said.
‘That sounds about right.’
Garen sped up his pace. Although the speed of his pace seed slow, each of his steps crossed a distance of more than ten ters. His speed was comparable to a speeding sports car. There was no sign of him crashing into the passage despite his lightning speed.
*******************
Inside a hall full of magma-filled cracks.
In an inconspicuous stone passage, AG walked in slowly with his cane and scanned the hall with a passionate and feverish gaze.
When he saw the huge round garden in the middle of the hall, the light in his eyes beca brighter and his throat trembled visibly a few tis.
Behind him, Nasira and Manasi walked out. Both of them seed much better after temporarily stabilizing their injuries through so ans.
“Where are those people from just now?” Nasira asked in a low voice.
“Right here, beside the garden,” AG whispered, “They should be trapped in here too. They can’t get out but if they can avoid the danger effectively, they can depend on the food in the garden to survive. Seems like they used this thod to survive.”
Following AG’s line of sight, Manasi pointed in the air with one of his hands. A red light spread out into a triangular mirror, revealing the situation of the three people beside the garden.
Those three covered their faces but the black clothes on their body were ragged and their white hair was exposed. Apparently, they were not young people. However, at this ti, their eyes were closed and they were murmuring as though they were praying for sothing while facing the garden.
The garden was just like a normal garden, with red and blue flowers and green leaves. The only weird part was that the sizes of the garden’s plants were much too big to be normal.
A common blue flower in there spanned a few ters in diater. Slightly larger ones were seven or eight ters in diater, big enough to shelter more than ten people.
Other than that, the greenery of the whole garden seed out of place on the dense, magma-filled cracks on the ground, as though it was not affected by the horrifyingly high temperature and the poisonous fus.
Boom!!
Suddenly, AG leaped forward, avoiding a black tentacle that was as thick as a barrel.
The tentacle was full of mouth-like suckers that were constantly sucking, giving off a horrifying feeling.
The tentacle swept to the side and rcilessly smashed into Manasi, who did not manage to evade in ti.
Manasi had only managed to take out a short knife and block in front of his body, but the knife was broken by the tentacle without it suffering the smallest scratch. With a huge force, the tentacle smashed against his body.
The huge force slamd him directly into the stone wall and ford a crater.
Manasi’s forte was his strength and defense but at this mont, it was useless when facing the tentacle. He was just like a toy that had been sent flying.
AG’s eyes revealed a sharp glint. He was nearly attacked by this thing previously from the back and hurt his body. Now, this tentacle ca after him again.
His cane moved slightly.
“Slow!”
A twisted transparent force fell on the tentacle, making its speed slow down until Nasira could catch up with it.
“Burn!”
AG shouted again.
In an instant, the surface of the tentacle was covered in dark bloody blisters, as though it had been burnt.
AG lifted his cane again.
“Corrosion!!” Veins stood out on his face as he shouted; he was using all of his strength to cast so many skills.
The top of the cane shone with black light and imdiately dissipated.
On the other side, as his voice fell, the tentacle began to rot and lt like a candle, dripping black liquid on the ground.
The tentacle imdiately released Manasi and intended to shrink back but to no avail. Nasira at the side took the opportunity to chop down and directly split the tentacle into two. The first half of the tentacle lted completely into black liquid and flowed down into the cracks on the ground before evaporating into black smoke and disappeared.
Both of them finally heaved a sigh of relief.
AG held his cane expressionlessly and ordered: “You guys go to the side of the garden and help search for a flower with sharp petals. The flower has a layer of red and a layer of blue. If you guys find it, notify imdiately...”
Before he finished speaking, two shadows rushed out from the hole behind them with a speed that the naked eye could not follow and appeared instantly behind AG.
With the red light from the magma, both Nasira and Manasi could clearly see that it was two more tentacles that were darker than the previous one.
The snake-like tentacles bound AG viciously and tightened.
Kacha!
The sound of broken bones ca from inside AG’s body, as he opened his mouth and scread. Black light shone again on top of the cane, spreading a huge shockwave outwards and causing the two tentacles to beco loose. He took the opportunity to escape but there was blood leaking from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.
“Go!!” He shouted. Black light shone all over his body and covered both Nasira and Manasi and then the trio morphed into a black light arrow speeding towards the garden.
When the light arrow was mid-flight, another tentacle caught up and rcilessly crashed into the tail of the arrow.
The light arrow ca crashing down to the ground at the side of the garden and turned back into AG, Nasira, and Manasi. Just as he stood up, AG threw up a mouthful of blood.
“So strong!! If not for the ability to turn into light, we’ll be in big trouble this ti!” he frowned. His old face beca older and more wrinkled.
“Be careful, the garden is not totally safe. I’ve done so research on this place. Anil’s Garden should have three terrifying existences, the Scavenger, Gatekeeper, and Gardener. The ones we t should be the Scavengers but as long as we don’t go too deep, we should not encounter the other two monsters. If my judgnt is correct, this place should be our opportunity to get out of here.”
“Opportunity?” Nasira’s mouth twitched while looking at AG throwing up mouthful after mouthful of blood. She was afraid that AG might actually die from throwing up so much blood. “You... Are you okay?”
“I won’t die...” AG said while nodding, “We can’t wait for Garen anymore. We’ll start right away and find that flower. That’s the key to getting out of here.”
