The tentacles were tough, with serrated suction cups on the inside that would tear off a chunk of flesh with just one bite.
If caught by them... certain death!
Battle Skill—Eagle Dance!
With the boost from the Battle Skill, Bob's speed increased again as he agilely weaved through the myriad attacks.
"Escape?" Carl swung his broadsword, bellowing loudly. "Is that all you know? Escaping? A Legendary Knight, hiding like a rat, too scared to even face me head-on. Do you think... you can get away?"
Supreme Dharma Seal—Earth Shattering!
Carl lifted one foot and slammed it down hard on the ground.
Within dozens of meters, the earth trembled as one, rippling like the surface of water, as if stirred by a Magic Artifact. Bob's figure staggered out.
Immediately, he was enveloped by dozens of thick stone pillars.
"You're seeking death!" Bursting out from the stone pillars, Bob clenched his steel teeth, enraged. He roared and charged towards Carl, "Go to hell!"
Bob's figure flickered, darting around Carl, occasionally swinging his longsword and leaving slashes on the tentacles and body.
Battle Skill—Holy Sanction!
The two figures, one large and one small, collided mid-air. Amidst the roaring sound, Bob tumbled into the ruins.
As Carl stood up, ready to fight again, he stumbled backward. Several bloody holes suddenly appeared in his chest, and one tentacle also splattered blood.
Carl swung his sword, fending off several incoming bullets and frowning at the figures rushing in from all sides.
The commotion here naturally disturbed the remaining guards in the courtyard, who were now rushing over. Follow current novᴇls on N()velFire.net
In the thick fog, nothing else was clear, but a six-meter-tall giant was unmistakable.
The firepower of muskets was not insignificant. Even Carl, who had merged with a Second Order Abyss Creature, was not entirely immune.
Bob laughed. "Haha... Monster, let's see what you do now!"
Battle Skill—Wind Wheel!
The longsword spun like a giant wheel, crazily slashing around the giant in coordination with the gunmen.
Carl roared to the sky. In just a moment, the tentacles behind him were chopped to pieces, twitching on the ground, and new wounds covered his body.
"Keep screaming!" Bob's expression was icy. "Keep on screaming!"
Although he was a Legendary Knight, he hadn't been Legendary for long. In terms of sheer strength, Bob was actually considerably weaker than Carl at that moment.
However, he was fast!
Ordinary Legendary Creatures were mostly large and strong, but relatively slow in movement.
His movement speed was at least twice Carl's, and he still navigated the numerous attacks with ease.
Moreover, the longsword in his hand was a gift from King Kolon to his friend. It possessed a unique power to break Magic and was barely affected by Spells.
The two collided once again.
Carl rolled and crashed through a tall wall, the few remaining tentacles on his back reaching out towards the mist.
The thick tentacles grabbed soldier after soldier, squeezing them violently and greedily devouring their life essence.
Carl's body shook. Astonishingly, the severed tentacles on his back, oozing sticky liquid, began to regenerate.
Even the ghastly gashes on his body were visibly healing at a rapid pace.
Second Order Abyss Creature!
This creature was said in legends to be capable of resisting Angels. Its powerful Bloodline made Bob's expression change drastically.
"Don't get close to him!"
"Don't?" Carl gave a ferocious smile and leaped toward the crowd in the thick fog. The tentacles on his back shot out, slithering and darting across the ground, snatching at the terrified soldiers.
One by one, the soldiers were lifted high by the tentacles. Amidst their screams, they turned into skeletons, their life essences completely devoured.
As Carl continued his slaughter, his wounds became progressively lighter.
The two collided again. Bob spat blood as he tumbled to the ground. With his injuries worsening, fear finally appeared in his eyes.
"You want to run?" The horrifying figure rapidly approached. "Too late!"
A Seal burst in the air. Extreme cold instantly enveloped half the courtyard, accompanied by a howling, frigid wind.
If Bob had been at full strength, he might have been able to dodge, but now...
His body stiffened as thin ice crystals formed on his skin.
A thick, slimy tentacle snaked out from the mist. It coiled around the frozen Bob, lifting him high, as two greatswords attacked from the left and right.
Blood splattered everywhere.
Carl, trembling, shrank his body, his face ashen.
Forcing my Bloodline took its toll. The aftereffects are significant, but thankfully, the problem is solved.
After steadying himself, he rushed into the ruins to collect his spoils of battle. Then, with a wave of his hand, he summoned the Magic Flying Carpet.
Let's go! I need to leave first.
