Chapter 758 - 743: Withering
Belica’s arrow critically injured Karo, marking a promising beginning!
However, to truly defeat the opponent, it may still take some time. After being severely injured, the black mist within Karo surged out, enveloping him, and in a moment, scales and fur filled his wounds, halting the damage caused by the arrow.
Once healed by the mist again, Karo’s expression became increasingly uneasy, the chaos and wickedness in him grew more powerful, if not for being a legendary figure, merely glancing at him would drive one insane and incurable.
"Now’s the time, let’s charge out!"
Belica swung her right arm, at this moment, she resembled a Valkyrie leading soldiers towards liberation, waving her arm forward.
"Dengshi City is occupied by unknown forces, I, Belica, a loyal believer of Lady Rose, promise you all that if these evil entities can be eradicated, the city’s resources will serve as your reimbursement!"
"The opportunity is one-time only, even the council cannot be a match for us!"
"Charge!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Belica astonishingly charged forward!
Dark entities are a bunch of self-centered beings, to them, the death and injury of others are irrelevant, but once it involves their own gains and losses, everything transforms into a different situation.
Though Karo is formidable, on their side are numerous legendary warriors, combined, Karo is simply negligible!
The opportunity is singular.
Many dark entities recalled Belica’s previous promise. Dengshi City is a city of wealth; even if they were deceived this time and never saw the supposed sub-divine artifact, acquiring the right to divide Dengshi City would undoubtedly compensate for their loss!
Over the long passage of time, the exact wealth stored within Dengshi City remains unknown, but the only certainty is that even combined with the foundation of these legendary warriors, it seems to be less than half the wealth of the city.
And the prerequisite for acquiring such great wealth is that Karo must die!
Weighing the pros and cons, these dark entities made their decision, and as Belica charged forward, those legendary warriors no longer lagged behind. Mysterious and fearsome forces instantly overwhelmed the opponent, ignoring the undead creatures, attempting to concentrate all strengths for a fatal strike against Karo!
Clashes among the strong are often resolved in an instant.
As the power dissipated, a terrifying and profound wound stretched across Karo’s waist, shredding his scales, bones, and flesh, yet no blood flowed. The corrosive mist surfaced once more, as if a real devil was hiding within his body, already devoured his flesh, leaving merely an empty shell, tragically surviving in this world.
Out of nineteen legendary warriors, eleven rushed forward, including Chen Feng among them, with eight still watching. Upon witnessing Karo having no chance to turn the tables, the remaining seven no longer hesitated and began charging forward!
Karo was in grave peril, as long as he was killed, Gordon was truly alone, and they had a hundred ways to suppress the opponent then.
Logically, as long as these legendary warriors unite, they are invincible!
But the players are confused, observers clear. If Chen Feng didn’t know Belica’s identity, he would likely have charged forward and joined those in sharing a piece of the bounty.
Yet this time, Rose already uncovered everything, what exactly is that creature’s true identity? Why hasn’t Gordon shown up yet? What changes have occurred in Karo’s body?
All these mysteries remain unsolved, and with Rose’s cunning manipulations, she couldn’t possibly end this rebellion in such a crude manner!
Rose is a conspirator, every decision she makes is thoroughly contemplated. Chen Feng instinctively believes this matter won’t conclude merely with Karo’s slaughter and Dengshi City’s occupation.
Belica is merely a façade.
The true master behind all this remains the terrifying Rose!
Rose views conspiracy as an art.
An Evil God who regards art as everything wouldn’t resolve issues this way.
Previously, everyone had their own plans, hence upon seeing the Eternal Eating Demon’s statue, they chose flight instead of resistance.
That’s because, even if the Eternal Eating Demon were truly vanquished, it would merely waste effort. But just now, Belica invoked Rose, and promised with her own mouth, once victorious, everyone present could equally share the city’s wealth!
Heavy rewards inspire courage.
It is precisely for this reason that everyone charges forward fiercely, intending first to kill Karo, then find Gordon and destroy the statue in his possession, ending this farce completely.
Everything seems so easy.
But why is Karo the only one here? Logically, Gordon and Karo share in prosperity and adversity, he has no reason to hide while watching everyone fight?
Once Karo dies, Gordon will face this pressure.
Furthermore, those undead creatures have only been feigning attacks all along; till now, only the Soul Mage acted, while the other three legendary undead stood aside, seemingly waiting for something.
In Chen Feng’s mind, a flash of insight occurred. He raised his head, only to see a profound pattern appearing unknowingly on the ceiling, like a barrier, trapping everyone within.
"Ah!"
Just as the legendary warriors were about to tear Karo apart, he suddenly let out a scream, his body began to swell, as if the breath within him was running rampant. Not long after, he transformed into a spherical object, and more terrifyingly, the rampaging aura in his body repeatedly crashed around, his body began to fracture bit by bit, shortly after, strands of pitch-black mist gathered in mid-air.
Karo seemed unable to anticipate such an occurrence, his mouth gaping wide, his face filled with pain and disbelief.
At the same moment, the bodies of those undead began to swell. Among the four council members led by the Legendary Undead, their faces were marred by rotten sores, multicolored poison oozing from those blisters, pooling on the ground.
"Buzz!"
The previous devil’s murmurs echoed once again, like a fuse, those black mists suddenly blossomed brightly with this sound.
"Damn it!"
Chen Feng finally realized the source of his fear: Karo and those undead actually self-destructed, more terrifyingly, he attempted to leave this place, but the barrier on the ceiling had closed everything around, even preventing shadow traversal abilities.
A terrifying thought emerged in Chen Feng’s mind, Belica might have long been aware of all this. Her act of charging was ultimately intended to lead all legendary warriors into their graves?!
As this thought appeared, Chen Feng felt a chill spread from his spine to his neck. Perhaps Belica had long obtained guidance from Rose, discovering all this, yet she still orchestrated this attack.
The purpose?
Everything seems intentionally aligned with Gordon’s conspiracy; Chen Feng boldly speculated that Rose did this to aid the statue’s birth!
Why does Rose want this?
Gods cannot be gazed upon!
Mere mortals cannot fathom a god’s inner self.
In any case, those charging forward, the legendary warriors at the forefront, undoubtedly became sacrifices.
At the critical juncture, Chen Feng no longer held back, intricate patterns appeared on his body, instantly transforming into a Blazing Demon. Simultaneously, Chen Feng pressed his arm against the ground, the fierce and ruthless Li Long appeared before Chen Feng, and just as Chen Feng took a leap, he jumped into the embrace of Li Long.
The entire corridor suddenly exploded with unimaginable dazzling brightness, like the sun in the sky self-destructing, everything heralded decay and destruction!
