Chapter 486 "The First Call!"
In the endless scarlet world, there is almost no safe place, whether in the sky or underground.
Everywhere you look, everything is covered in distorted flesh and blood.
On the ground, Colin could see a pile of human-shaped things that looked like tumors, looking at him unfriendly, and saliva kept flowing out of their mouths, as if they had seen delicious delicacies.
However, because they cannot fly, they have no way to attack the people in the air.
However, this does not mean that there are no enemies in the sky.
Some strange deformed creatures have scarlet flesh wings, which can cause some trouble when they wave and block the front.
"Bang!" Dozens of wind blades strong enough to cut metal penetrated the "Red Rain", cutting the clusters of tumors into pieces of meat.
"How can this thing fly with so many holes ?" The orange cat felt a little unbelievable.
"Let the metaphysics take off, don't worry too much about the details." The "Lord of the Fish Pond" on the side said casually, and spread the mechanical wings behind him to lock onto the enemies on all sides.
At this moment, they were all wrapped in Colin's flames and moved in the sky.
"What the hell happened to this damn place? The environment is so harsh."
Colin raised his head and "looked " at the sky with his eyes closed. Behind the clouds emitting a hazy white light, countless pieces of flesh kept falling, distorting the entire world.
Everywhere are filled with all kinds of malicious deformed creatures...
According to Akahi, the scope of this disaster is the entire world.
It’s hard to imagine what happened to this damn place.
It is rare that these guys who believe in "Darkness" can survive in such a place for so long.
"If the entire original civilization has been extinct, then there's nothing wrong with throwing Rosen's severed hand, which is equipped with the 'Extinction Order', here to activate it..."
Colin muttered to himself. After flying for most of the day, he felt that this world was unusual, although it was not as deep as the "Demon Mist Disaster".
But the depth of the pollution is even worse than before.
At this moment, Colin was about to adjust the flame and speed up, but suddenly Akashi's voice came from the side:
"Look out! Something's coming!"
Before she finished speaking, Colin also felt a sense of crisis in his heart.
"Buzz buzz buzz..."
The surrounding air seemed to be squeezed, vibrating slightly.
Everyone present could sense that something seemed to be approaching quickly, and a strong sense of oppression instantly enveloped the place.
Less than three seconds later, Colin suddenly saw a round black shadow approaching rapidly from above the red rain curtain. As it got closer, the shadow grew larger and the sense of oppression became stronger.
"Fuck!"
The orange cat, who was preparing to meet the enemy, suddenly froze in his gaze.
Suddenly, a huge iron ball, as big as a mountain and full of holes and pits, came from the sky...
At the front end of the iron ball, you can even see the explosion caused by breaking the speed of sound.
Colin changed direction immediately and wrapped everyone in flames, trying to avoid the thing. However, after several quick moves, he strangely discovered that the giant iron ball was still locked on him.
"It has some kind of lock-on effect. I can't dodge it, so I have to take it head-on?"
Colin's thoughts flashed through his mind. If he were alone, he would have at least nine ways to dodge, but the consequence of dodging would be that the other two D-class personnel in mid-air would have nowhere to escape.
However, it wasn't a big problem... Colin's figure stopped, and he didn't choose to avoid it. He floated in the air, his eyes open, and surging flames surged in his pupils.
In an instant, under the gaze of everyone with tingling scalps.
A burst of flames suddenly exploded.
In the terrifying flames, the big iron ball melted directly into molten iron that covered the sky.
Then, seizing the opportunity, Colin activated the "Force·Repulsion" card effect, creating an extremely strong shock wave that collided with it.
"boom!"
The molten iron exploded into sparks all over the sky, and the blazing flames completely illuminated the place at this moment.
However, there was no time to appreciate the explosion that was like a giant firework after the iron ball exploded.
A giant, at least a hundred meters tall, rushed out from the "red rain". His body was covered with deformed tumors and was tied with iron chains. The end of a thick iron chain in his hand was already red and melted.
Obviously, at the end of this chain, there was an iron ball that was slightly larger than the ball.
At this moment, after the iron ball broke, it rushed directly towards everyone, with dozens of tentacles on its head swinging.
Just as Colin was about to take action, some scenes suddenly emerged in his mind -
Dozens of pitch-black spears streaked across the ground, piercing his body in an incomprehensible manner. Immediately afterwards, a giant composed of tentacles and rotting flesh, its movements restricted, attacked him one after another. He seemed only seriously injured but not dead, but the same could not be said for the others...
"In 'Fatal Insight', that shadow thing actually penetrated my 'bonfire' defense?"
As the thought flashed through his mind, Colin activated the "time stop" without any hesitation.
The invisible roar of the engine exploded...
Within a radius of one hundred meters, everything was slightly dimmed and dragged into an invisible solidification, motionless.
However, at this moment, Colin raised his eyebrows and saw dozens of black spears moving slowly in the stagnant world, approaching him little by little.
"It's indeed the method of 'Night'..."
Almost the moment Colin saw it, he immediately realized that the "Night Party" were chasing them.
I just don't know if it was due to some divination or because I just peeped at the parchment chat that led to their discovery...
There was no time to think before the nine-second time stop ended.
Colin looked at the pitch-black spears, and in an instant, the effect of "The Kindness of the Fire Bearer" was activated, and all the pitch-black spears were ignited and disappeared.
"Sure enough, we didn't defend it before because we didn't have enough firepower. If we had enough firepower, everything would be burned."
Colin felt a little relieved, and then he closed his eyes again, blocking out the stench that stimulated his appetite, and turned his attention to the tumorous giant in front of him, who was on the verge of being affected and whose speed was slowing down.
“Tattatt…”
The countdown representing the final few seconds sounded in my ears.
"It's large, but not very strong. It might not even be at level three. It's a bit like a silver spear with a wax head. But speaking of it, nine seconds is indeed a lot more than enough. I'm a little uncomfortable with it."
At the last moment, Colin skillfully raised his right arm, gripped the revolver, aimed at the opponent's head, and pulled the trigger.
More than a dozen gunshots rang out in succession.
155mm armor-piercing rounds were fired. Although this caliber of shell seemed a little small in front of such a huge creature, under the blessing of the bonfire, each bullet shot a transparent hole in the giant's body...
At this moment, the solidified time and space were restored.
The huge monster in front let out a scream and flames started burning all over its body.
However, the wailing did not last long and stopped abruptly.
The "lethal" effect attached to the revolver bullet was activated, and the twisted life continued to tremble on the ground.
It will probably take only a few seconds for him to die completely.
"Be careful! It's not dead yet!" Akashi suddenly spoke.
"Not dead?"
Colin raised his eyebrows. Could this creature, which was less than a level 3 containment object, really withstand the "lethal" effect?
It was in this moment of distraction that he saw the "giant" who was lying on the ground and about to die suddenly shrink into a round piece of meat and rush towards him.
Seeing this, Akashi was about to help Colin, but just as he was about to do so, he suddenly saw a mad flame erupt from the person in front of him...
The next second, a giant flaming hand fell from the sky and pressed the piece of meat directly into the ground.
The entire area melted...
"It's indeed a bit beyond my expectations, but if he survives, I can just kill him again. It just so happens that this thing can also be used as fuel."
Colin spoke casually with a nonchalant expression, manipulating his flaming hand to completely crush the meatball to death.
A terrifying wave of flames and heat swept across the entire venue.
"Hiss..." Akashi took a breath when he saw this scene, raised his head slightly, and looked at the big hand that was like a tornado of fire in a daze.
I already knew that the other party was very strong, but I didn't expect him to be this strong.
But at this moment, she suddenly felt something on the ground beneath her feet lifting her up. When she was getting nervous, she saw what seemed to be the palm of a huge hand with the same flames.
Under Akahi's astonished gaze, the big hand slowly lifted her and the others up.
Then they discovered that a flaming figure that was over a hundred meters tall, half a meter taller than the flesh and blood figure, was being constructed by layers of madly burning flames.
They are held in the broad left hand.
The messenger of the "bonfire" is located on the chest, near the back of the neck.
At the same time, the rotten flesh of the corpse on the ground was quickly ignited, and the flames it turned into were all absorbed by the fire giant.
"My goodness, what kind of ability is this, Brother Shunzi? Dharma Realm of Heaven and Earth?"
The "Lord of the Fish Pond" looked at the terrifying flaming figure with envy in his eyes.
…
"What kind of inhuman monster is this?"
In a dark place, a group of people in black robes raised their heads slightly and looked up at the giant flaming figure. They were all stunned, and a strong sense of powerlessness arose in their hearts.
A 100-meter-class aberration couldn't last more than 30 seconds in his hands, and the "Shadow Spear" was ineffective...
Even if the other party has to carry the "Red Rain" on his back and hold the traitor Queen Akashi and other burdens in one hand, they are simply not able to deal with it!
"How can we possibly defeat such an enemy? How can we possibly win?"
At this moment, they only hoped that this terrifying existence would not discover them and leave.
Otherwise, there would be no chance of victory for everyone present—
When they threw the "Shadow Spear" obtained from the "Eternal Night" ritual and found that it seemed to have no effect on the opponent, they knew that they had failed.
But unfortunately...
"As expected of a follower of 'Night', you're so good at hiding. If I hadn't used 'Mad Fire', I might not have discovered it..."
The teasing words suddenly rang in their ears.
Immediately afterwards, overwhelming flames descended from the sky, enveloping everyone...
…
On another flat and vast land, tens of thousands of large train carriages are abandoned, each of which is nearly a thousand square meters in size.
At this moment, a dark shadow quickly entered one of the carriages.
The black shadow stopped until it moved in front of a woman standing in the carriage, who looked almost exactly like Akashi. Then it suddenly arched upwards and turned into a middle-aged man in a black robe.
However, he did not speak at the first moment, but looked at the woman who had survived several rituals in a row and received the blessing of "Night".
"Sister Lavinia, when will I be as strong as you? When will we be able to contribute to humanity like you..."
A group of children in their teens surrounded Lavinia, their eyes sparkling with admiration.
"Tomorrow..."
Lavinia smiled, a rare sight. She patted the children's heads and took out some sweet powder from her pocket.
"Take it and eat it outside. Sister has something to do. After you finish eating, go back and rest and be in good condition for tomorrow's ceremony."
After sending the children away, the smile on her face faded and she looked at the visitor indifferently.
"The messengers of the Outer Gods, carrying a mission filled with sinful fire, have landed on this land..."
The middle-aged man lowered his head slightly as he reported to Lavinia. After he finished speaking, he paused: "Some members of the garrison team accidentally discovered them and launched an encirclement and suppression operation, but the operation failed. The strength of that 'Adventer' was beyond imagination..."
"Where are the team members?" Lavinia opened her eyes, and there seemed to be darkness flowing in her eyes.
"The connection is completely lost..."
Hearing this, Lavinia was silent for a second, folded her hands over her chest, closed her eyes, and whispered a prayer, "May their heroic souls return to the 'Eternal Night'" before opening her eyes again.
The middle-aged man continued, "However, we seem to have discovered one of their bases and need to go there..."
"No need, just withdraw the people..."
Lavinia recalled how she had used Akashi's "shadow" to sneak attack the "Adventurer".
The curse of "Death Scythe" directly locked him in, yet he still survived...
Judging from the strength displayed by the other side, if they took the initiative to go over, as many as they would die.
"If nothing unexpected happens, their goal is to target the 'Eternal Night' ritual and the 'Thorn Device'. From now on, we just need to establish defenses on both sides and protect the general public."
"This is our most important 'Eternal Night' ceremony. Its importance is no less than the initial call..."
"We must make every possible preparation. We cannot allow them to sabotage us, and we cannot allow those traitors to deceive our people."
No less than the original call? The middle-aged man was secretly shocked when he heard this, and some historical memories came back to his mind.
Hundreds of years ago, a terrible natural disaster struck, and helpless people were trapped here. They prayed to countless things, but the only answer they received was "Night".
Only the merciful "Night" was willing to bless the weak in this time of crisis, bringing the first batch of God's Gifts, giving the tribe a chance to be saved.
If it weren't for the "Night", they would have become one of the endless number of deformed creatures.
And that is also called the "first call."
Unexpectedly, this time, something so important would happen?
The middle-aged man had no doubts about Lavinia's words. He suddenly felt like he was about to witness history. He was immediately overwhelmed with emotion and put his fist to his chest.
"Yes, I'll do anything! I'll give you my heart!"
