Richard kept walking closer towards Vasily, when Vasily’s eyes flashed and he suddenly shouted, "Wait a minute!"
"Hmm?" Richard stopped and looked at Vasily, "What is it?"
"Uh, that... I... want to ask you something."
"Kid, what... exactly are you?"
"I think... you and that little girl from before, you’re both monsters!"
"Perhaps." Richard said, without delving further into the topic, he continued his approach towards Vasily.
"Stop, stop, stop!" Vasily called out again.
"What now?" Richard asked.
"Tell me the truth, what exactly are you? Why are you opposing us? Do you know what the consequences of this are? I’m telling you, it’s something you absolutely can’t handle!"
"In fact, isn’t it you who are opposing me? I must say, if it were up to me, I would definitely not want to mess with you, but given the current situation, I have no choice but to kill you."
Richard finished speaking and walked towards Vasily.
Vasily called out for the third time.
At this moment, Richard suddenly laughed, "By the way, you’re just trying to waste time, aren’t you?"
"Eh, that..." Vasily’s expression turned strange, "You noticed?"
"Actually, I noticed from the beginning," Richard said, "Obviously, you were greatly affected by the Spirit Shock earlier and desperately need time to recover, so you’re stalling."
"You wanted to ask me why I noticed you were stalling and still played along, right? The reason is simple, because I am also buying time, preparing some things. And the reason I am pointing this out now is because I am ready. So... are you ready?" Richard asked.
"You!" Vasily’s eyes went wide as he stared at Richard, his entire body chilling, seeing the figure before him as something non-human.
Richard, without wasting words, raised his hand, and in an instant, Vasily saw a galaxy falling upon the earth.
Yes, a galaxy—thousands of stars!
Countless, hundreds upon hundreds of Mars formed a dense barrage, ferociously blasting forth.
"Ah, no!" Vasily managed to shout just before the barrage reached them, and then it exploded.
The fiery pillar of the explosion rose several meters high, the ground itself trembling, the violent shockwave sweeping away everything within the ruined courtyard, making an already devastated environment even more dismal.
As it was still raining, no dust was kicked up, allowing Richard to clearly see Vasily’s condition after the explosion.
Vasily, was not dead.
At this moment, Vasily was in a bizarre pose, all the flesh from his lower body gone, exposing ghastly white bones. These exposed bones, branching like tree limbs, sprouted numerous other white bones. These bones curved upwards densely, enveloping Vasily’s upper body, forming a strange armor, resembling a peculiar kind of insect cocoon.
Transformational Construction Magic • Second Circle Low Level • Silver Bone Armor!
Vasily had resisted Richard’s Magic Salvo attack with this spell.
Richard slightly squinted his eyes, wary of this spell he had never seen before.
At that moment, Vasily coughed a few times, and then a rather sharp voice came from within the armor, cursing, "Cough, cough, damned, cunning boy, do you know you almost ruined my big plan! But never mind, you still didn’t kill me!
Hmph, since that’s the case, you better enjoy my wrath! I’m telling you, in my current state, you can’t break through my defense, and I can easily crush you into powder! Understand!"
Richard squinted his eyes and gently rubbed his fingers together, grains resembling salt crystals floated out from between his fingers, drifting inconspicuously in the air and settling on the surface of Vasily’s white bones.
Vasily continued to shout threats, "Boy, wait for it, you will regret it, you will absolutely regret it! Daring to oppose me, you..."
Richard paid no heed to Vasily’s words, seeing the Magic Salt ready, he raised his hand and launched another Magic Salvo.
Vasily roared, "Boy, are you a fool! I said, your attacks, can’t hurt! Me! Don’t you..."
"Boom—rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble!"
A unprecedented explosion occurred, a fireball several meters in diameter arose in the courtyard, the shockwave spreading tangibly like an ever-expanding white halo, everywhere it reached, bricks, tiles, and soil leaped up and then fell, nearby houses and courtyard walls tumbled down.
After a long time, the aftermath of the explosion dissipated, and Richard looked towards the center of the explosion.
He saw that Vasily’s whole skeleton had shattered—perhaps the bones were very hard, but under the dual forces of the Magic Salt and Armor-shattering Bomb, they couldn’t withstand the impact.
But... Vasily was still not dead.
Huh, Vasily had not died, and within the charred crater on the ground, amidst the fragments of white bones, a head was left.
At this moment, this head, with eyes wide open in both surprise and anger, mouth moving as it spoke to Richard, "Boy! You... damn it, I remember you now! I..."
Suddenly, Vasily’s voice stopped abruptly.
Because Richard walked straight over and grabbed Vasily’s head. Richard planned to put the head into the Space Iron Ring for thorough study later. However, just then, with a "Bang," Vasily’s whole head burst like a watermelon, a large cloud of blood mist emerging.
Richard raised an eyebrow, vigilant, quickly employed "Wind Repulsion" to push the blood mist to one side.
A bizarre scene occurred—as he pushed the blood mist aside, several blood-red Bloodsucking Bats emerged from within it.
Richard stunned, couldn’t help but think of the legendary vampires—legends say that vampires can transform into bloodsucking bats to save their lives in critical moments; could Vasily be ?
That said, after Suo Men was defeated and transformed, he was similar to a werewolf, now Vasily taking on the role of a vampire wasn’t really a surprise—in the world of wizards, under the influence of magic, anything could happen.
Looking at the bloodsucking bats, Richard frowned tightly, a bad premonition forming. He raised his hand, specks of Mars flying out, targeting the bloodsucking bats, ready to annihilate them.
"Boom boom" several explosive noises, the Mars exploded, the bloodsucking bats quickly flew high, dodging the attack.
Vasily’s somewhat off-tune voice came from the bloodsucking bats, continuing his earlier interrupted speech, quite angrily, "Boy, I... swear, I really remember you this time! And you, you’re truly doomed! You might have been able to kill Suo Men, that fool, letting him resurrect without memory of you, but I’m different!
You can’t kill me, even if you crush my body completely, you can’t kill me. And if you can’t kill me, I don’t need resurrection, I can retain complete memory and keep you in my mind!
Then, I’ll bring our companions to hunt you down relentlessly! No matter where you flee to, we will find you and then kill you, kill everyone related to you! Haha, are you scared? Wait for it, it won’t take long!"
With that, the bloodsucking bats flew high again, heading towards the horizon.
Richard’s eyes narrowed into a slit.
