Chapter 173 Blood for Blood, Double the Retribution
Chapter 173 Blood for Blood - Tenfold Retribution
Dozens of monsters of different races, dressed in adventurer equipment and weapons, roared and attacked the mutated Amphispina.
Astraea was stunned by what she saw. The monsters were helping them? And they could speak human language!
It was simply unbelievable to the people and gods on Earth; their worldviews were shaken.
Since three thousand years ago, the monsters that emerged from the dungeons have been known for their cruelty and irrationality, killing tens of thousands of humans on the surface.
A hint of surprise flashed in Roy's eyes; this was indeed reinforcements he hadn't anticipated.
"So it was him!"
Reed, Rey, and Gross, the leaders of the heretics, also noticed Roy and looked surprised.
Although Mary made contact with Roy first, Reed, Rey, Gross and other heretics already knew him.
While Roy, Ryu, and the Rudrakami clan were playing a war game in the dungeon, the heretics, having received word from Fels, secretly came up to watch the show.
They were quite impressed with Roy at that time.
With a few words and a laugh, this young man annihilated hundreds of members of the Rudra clan. His carefree and unrestrained demeanor earned him the admiration of the heretics.
More importantly, the Rudraksha clan belongs to the dark faction, the group of bastards who hunted and captured their own kind. In a sense, Roy avenged them, so they have a very high level of goodwill towards Roy.
Upon hearing that the humans who had once saved Mary and their kin were in danger, a group of heretics rushed up from the lower levels without hesitation.
When I got here, I saw someone I knew!
With these two emotions combined, these loyal heretics, as if they didn't care about their lives, unleashed all their attacks on the mutated Amphispina.
"Roy!"
A call like a beautiful song rang out, and a graceful, ethereal figure swam underwater, quickly arriving beside Roy—it was the Mermaid Heretic.
The underground city started collapsing from at least the twenty-seventh floor, so Mary was able to run down.
Upon seeing Roy, who was critically injured, Mary's face contorted in pain, tears welling up in her eyes. She bit her wrist, drawing blood, and used the wound to seal Roy's mouth.
Roy instinctively inhaled the blood.
The world's finest healing ingredient—mermaid blood—flowed down Roy's throat, its healing power surpassing even that of the Panacea.
Astraea glanced at the heretic and Mari, who was feeding Roy blood, pursed her lips, and looked thoughtful. During that duel, combined with the conversation between Roy and Dix, she seemed to understand something now, the reason for the conflict between Roy and the Ikelos Familia.
The powerful healing effects of the mermaid's blood seemed to flow through Roy's body.
Roy gradually regained his mobility, slowly stood up, and patted Mary's head. The situation was urgent, so he didn't waste any words and said in a deep voice, "Give me thirty seconds!"
Reid, Rey, and Gross, who were entangled with the mutated Amphispina, glanced at each other from afar. From what they heard, the opponent was going to continue the fight.
Reed was the first to answer, "Okay!"
The taciturn Lei responded with a song, its beautiful melody no less captivating than that of the mermaid monster.
Even Guros, who harbored hatred for humans, nodded emphatically; this human was worth helping.
The three are of the following races: lizardmen, singing birds, and stone dragons. They are all central figures and the earliest members of the Heretics, with an ability value of LV.5.
They are the main force in the fight against the alienated Amphispina.
Rey and Goros have the advantage of flight and can disrupt enemy forces in mid-air, while Reed fights on the ground.
Taking advantage of the moment, Reed charged toward the mutated Amphispina and cleaved a head that was spewing corrosive acid with a single blow, the blade striking the dragon scales with a crisp sound.
The acid sprayed off course, melting a large hole in a nearby broken stone pillar, making a sizzling sound.
However, the power of the nine-headed dragon was beyond imagination! It exerted its strength and its head knocked Reed away.
The other head locked onto Reed, its gaping maw about to spew forth an inextinguishable azure flame.
"No!"
Guros's eyes widened in fury as he charged forward recklessly, channeling all his strength into his claws, and slashed fiercely at the side of the head's neck. His claws scraped against the scales, sending sparks flying, and embedded themselves deeply! Foul-smelling dragon blood spurted out. The head, in pain, slowed its attack.
Heretics are different from adventurers; they have no favors, no skills, but they are genuine monsters, with physiques far surpassing humans.
Elf...
Both Guros and Amphispina belong to the dragon race and have the ability to break through the opponent's defenses.
But this saved Reed during the brief respite.
But this exposed Guros to another frost-covered head poised to strike! Its cold, vertical pupils locked onto Guros, and its massive maw opened...
A deadly chill had gathered in his throat, and the shadow of death loomed over him instantly!
"I'm here!"
Just at this moment of despair, a clear and melodious shout caught the attention of the Frost Head.
It was none other than the goddess Astraea.
This mutated beast's target has always been the gods, but these "ants" around it are blocking its way. Upon hearing Astraea's voice, it immediately shifts its target and unleashes its frost breath.
In the moment of crisis, the Songbird's figure swiftly swept past Rei, carrying Astraea into the air.
Astraea was taken aback, and exclaimed, "Being saved by a monster, it feels so strange."
On one side are the mutated beasts that want to kill her, and on the other side are intelligent monsters that want to help her.
Lei smiled and extended goodwill to the goddess.
While the heretics were entangled in their battle with the alienated Amphispina, Roy was preparing his attack.
He was very tired.
Even with the blessing of mermaid blood, it only gave Roy a brief moment of lucidity before his death. His chest heaved violently, but the air he inhaled seemed unable to reach his depths, leaving only a deeper emptiness and weakness.
His shoulders slumped uncontrollably, his back hunched, and his neck could not support the weight of his head.
Time stretched out endlessly, each second feeling like wading through sticky glue. Roy didn't even think about the word "tired," because just feeling it had already exhausted his remaining strength.
But soon, anger filled every corner of Roy's mind, and flames blazed in his eyes.
The duel with the Familia of Ikeros, defeating the fairy soldiers, being swallowed by Lemton, wreaking havoc underground, the goddess Astrid almost sending it back to heaven, being surrounded by monsters in the dense forest canyon, and finally this mutated beast!
All the frustration and anger ultimately transformed into his motivation for revenge, the nourishment for that skill!
Roy's body erupted with a blood-red light, surrounded by countless blood vessels, making him look like a bloodthirsty demon god crawling out of the depths of hell.
boom!
The water burst beneath Roy's feet, and the ground caved in deeply around him. The powerful and terrifying aura instantly drew everyone's attention.
"What is that?"
The heretics' pupils contracted; they sensed a deadly danger emanating from Roy, even the LV.5 Reed, Rey, and Gross were no exception.
At that moment, Roy moved.
Roy's eyes flashed with a cold, lightning-like light, and with unwavering resolve, he took a firm step forward, charging irresistibly towards the massive body of the nine-headed dragon.
Reed roared, "Cover him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Reed charged towards the mutated Amphispina, followed closely by Rey and Gross.
The heretics used all their abilities and did everything in their power to stop the mutated Amphispina, resulting in many of their companions being seriously injured or even killed.
Under the cover of this chaos, Roy rushed towards the mutated Amphispina!
Under everyone's gaze.
Roy gripped the elven holy sword tightly with both hands, and the blood energy bursting from his body wrapped around the slender blade, pouring into it like burning lava!
The blade emitted a blinding light, and Yu Mingluo didn't even use the Synchronization Contract or the amplification of the Ghost King's Armor. He was certain that this strike would transcend the level difference and crush all enemies.
"Go!" Astraea clenched her small hand. She was one of the people who knew Roy's skill best—a revenge with unlimited power!
Blood for blood, tenfold retribution!
All the attacks Roy had suffered so far converged into this one strike, which, fueled by his rage, grew in power until it became a terrifying ten times stronger!
"puff--!"
Roy used all his strength to swing the elven holy sword in his hand fiercely. The huge blood-red sword light seemed to shatter the world and engulf the nine-headed dragon.
Time seemed to stand still for a moment.
Immediately following was a terrifying shriek emanating from all the heads simultaneously, a shriek powerful enough to tear the soul apart! The massive bodies vanished into nothingness under the crimson light.
Rumble!!
The crimson sword light continued its relentless advance, tearing the earth apart and moving to both sides like a landslide, hurling mud and rocks dozens of meters into the air.
The cracks have spread over a thousand meters away!
The resulting terrifying impact spread like a tide, reaching the edge of the dense forest canyon.
"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"
Upon witnessing the devastating scene, the heretics paled and cried out to each other, leading their wounded companions to safety.
This is insane! Absolutely insane!!
One-hit kill on the LV.6 mutated floor master!
The heretics were so shocked they couldn't speak. This terrifying power undoubtedly reached the level of LV.7, which the adventurers called the "strongest"!
"Is this an attack that a Level 3 adventurer could launch?" the heretics roared inwardly.
With adventurers like these, what's the point of monsters?
[Congratulations on defeating the mutated floor master, Anfispina (LV.6)! You have obtained 4800 attribute points, the Nine Dragons Staff (Epic), and a Golden Treasure Chest!]
