Chapter 2537 The Third Item
Chapter 2537 The Third Item
Outside the camp, Fang Heng looked up at the sky.
In the distance, two small dark figures were rapidly approaching the headquarters of the Revolution Society.
In just over two hours, Narlyev had been fleeing with the Jealousy demonic seed, pursued relentlessly by the conservatives.
He had managed to hold out until now.
Victory was within reach!
A glimmer of excitement appeared in Narlyev's eyes.
"Lord of the demonic seed, ahead is the gathering place I've established. I set up the hell magic array you left behind there. Once we get there, we will—"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!
Before he could finish speaking, several elemental cannons fired from behind them, slamming into the barrier they had formed.
The defensive barrier shattered with a deafening boom!
Both of them were immediately struck hard, their bodies destabilized in mid-air.
"Boom!!!"
The secondary explosion from the high-strength elemental cannons propelled them forward!
They stumbled and fell toward the ground.
Ahead lay the headquarters of the Revolution Society!
"Whoosh!"
Narlyev forced himself to stabilize and landed first. As soon as he touched the ground, he shouted, "Quick! Activate the defensive barrier immediately!"
While speaking, he checked the condition of the demonic seed beside him.
The situation was dire!
Both of them had pushed themselves hard to return amidst the relentless pursuit of the conservatives, and their extensive exhaustion had left them gravely injured.
"Lord of the demonic seed, please hold on! I have a special gift waiting for you at headquarters," he urged.
The Jealousy demonic seed wiped the blood from the corner of its mouth and turned to glare coldly at the pursuing enemies, "The day I recover will be the day the Occult Research Society meets its end!"
Huh?
Why hadn't anyone arrived yet?
It was only then that Narlyev suddenly realized something was off.
Usually, the guards within the Revolution Society were tightly secured, and any unauthorized invasion should have been detected by the patrols immediately.
Moreover, Guillermo was also involved in today's operation; they should have arrived to support them by now!
Why was there no one?
A sudden sense of foreboding surged within Narlyev.
This was bad!
Could it be...?
Whoosh!
In the next moment, a shadow flashed past him from the front.
What was that!?
Narlyev's pupils dilated in shock.
Years of combat experience made him instinctively raise his hand to block.
"Bang!!!"
In the next moment, a dark light suddenly exploded in front of them!
The aura of death from the Death God scythe sent both Narlyev and the Jealousy demonic seed flying backward.
"Fang Heng!"
Only then did Narlyev see the figure suspended in mid-air.
The Death God!
Without saying a word, Fang Heng charged straight toward the Jealousy demonic seed.
He had noticed the dire state of the Jealousy demonic seed in its split form.
Seizing the opportunity, he aimed to finish it off!
"Boom!!!"
With two consecutive strikes, the explosive dark light sent the Jealousy demonic seed crashing to the right!
The relentless attacks had left the Jealousy demonic seed reeling, its lifeblood surging chaotically. It couldn't muster more than a glare at Fang Heng.
Its memories were still stuck on the last time it had been sealed, and it had no idea who this person was, only that he was incredibly powerful.
In its prime, it would have been unafraid.
But now, it was at its most vulnerable moment!
Fang Heng pressed forward aggressively, launching a relentless attack.
The death scythe swept forward continuously!
"Bang!!! Bang bang bang bang!!!"
Dark explosions continued to erupt before him as the Jealousy demonic seed was forced to raise both hands in defense. Yet, with each blast, it was gradually pushed back toward the entrance of the Revolution Society!
The Jealousy demonic seed had no way to counter the attack.
Constantly pursued and battered by the conservatives, it had no time to catch its breath or recover its strength. It could only endure and resist with all its might!
"Boom!!!"
As the dark light sliced through the air, Fang Heng suddenly sheathed the Death God scythe and swung his fist, launching a powerful punch toward the Jealousy demonic seed.
"Boom!!!"
With a muffled sound, the blood-red barrier surrounding the Jealousy demonic seed shattered. Its body was sent flying heavily toward the entrance of the Revolution Society!
"Lord of the demonic seed!"
Just as Narlyev regained his composure, he gritted his teeth and forced himself to stand, intending to rush in for a rescue.
What!
As he took half a step forward, his pupils suddenly constricted.
In an instant, countless vines had surged out from the entrance of the Revolution Society, swiftly surrounding and devouring the Jealousy demonic seed that had been flung inside!
"Glug, glug..."
The roots of the vines, entwined with the demonic seed in hundreds of layers, had pulled back into the entrance of the Revolution Society, and everything returned to silence once more.
Narlyev had come to a sudden halt, looking at Fang Heng.
At that moment, an overwhelming sense of fear surged within him. He slowly turned his head, casting a wary glance at Fang Heng, who was not far away.
"Fang Heng! What have you done to the Lord of the demonic seed?"
"Nothing much," Fang Heng replied, turning to face Narlyev. He spoke calmly, "Just what you all did to the demonic seed of Gluttony."
[Hint: The player has absorbed the power of the demonic seed of Jealousy and obtained 42,133 energy points...]
[Hint: The player has absorbed the power of the demonic seed of Jealousy and obtained 48,781 energy points...]
Haha.
Not bad!
Fang Heng looked at the game notification and sneered in his heart.
The power of the Jealousy magic rune had been able to help the demonic seed quickly unleash its inner strength.
Combined with Abe Akaya's absorption ability, the effect had been remarkable!
At that moment, under the influence of the magic array, Abe Akaya had been frantically absorbing the energy of the Jealousy demonic seed.
Unfortunately, the demonic seed couldn't be taken directly. Otherwise, no matter what, he would have made sure to bring a few back to absorb slowly.
Narlyev trembled slightly as he listened to Fang Heng's words.
Was he telling the truth?
The Lord of the demonic seed had actually been... absorbed?
Impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
Narlyev stared at Fang Heng.
How could the Demonic Seed of Jealousy be easily absorbed by another demonic seed?
He must be bluffing!
Fang Heng took two steps forward and stared at Narlyev. He said, "The demonic seed is dead. Now it's your turn. Are you going to resist or do you want me to give you a quick death?"
"Fang Heng!"
Narlyev stared intensely at Fang Heng. "Even if what you said is true, what you've killed is merely a fragment of the demonic seed of Jealousy. The Lord of the demonic seed will not spare you!"
"Hmph!"
Fang Heng lightly raised his hand toward Narlyev.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!"
In an instant, the blood-red long sword behind Fang Heng exploded!
The blood condensed into tiny swords in the air and flew out, piercing through Narlyev's body.
Red damage numbers appeared above Narlyev's head, and his eyes slowly lost their luster. He fell heavily into a pool of blood.
[Hint: The player has killed Narlyev, a special storyline character. The favorability rating with the Occult Research Association increased significantly for the player.]
Fang Heng stepped forward and picked up the Book of Greleng that Narlyev had dropped upon his death.
