Chapter 509, Section 508: Narrow Defeat

"No...no!"

His companion was killed instantly, and his own feet were tightly bound by the mycelium tentacles and dragged backward.

The teleportation array was just inches away, but the bloodline guards, despite their best efforts, could only reach out a few inches too far. Their fingers dug ten bloody streaks, a mixture of ice shards and flesh, into the frost-covered ground.

"Aaaaaaahh ...

"..."

Several Puji Masters controlled their respective fat-otaku Puji to collect the captured bloodline and the spare supplies they had brought, and cleaned up the scene.

Lin Jun controlled the knight, examining the teleportation array before her.

Good heavens, the teleportation array in this ancient ruin still works?!

They decisively destroyed a corner of the teleportation array to prevent these uninvited guests from escaping or being teleported in by some strange fellows.

Just then, a huge roar came from the spiral building behind them.

The entire cavity shook.

Lin Jun was also controlling a Puji inside, so she naturally witnessed the scene of the internal structure being reorganized.

Unfortunately, the little creature was caught in the collapse. Although it didn't die immediately, it was buried in the rubble.

What the heck? You can play it like this?

He immediately led his team back to reinforce, while cautiously leaving a squad of soldiers and Puji to guard the teleportation array. If the enemy was detected approaching, the teleportation array would be completely destroyed.

After all, who knows if that vampire marquis might be carrying materials with him and happen to know how to repair teleportation arrays?

...

Meanwhile, Norris is already in crisis.

Jida's shoulder-mounted resonance cannon was severed cleanly by the crimson blood blade, its outer shell covered with marks from the blood weapon. At this moment, it was locked in combat with two blood descendants.

Not far away, the third bloodline, half of his body a bloody mess, leaned against the wall, using his still intact right hand to continuously condense blood arrows and shoot them at Jida, but they were all blocked by a magic shield.

They had witnessed the power of the Resonance Cannon before. In order to destroy it as soon as possible, this vampire paid a heavy price, but it did indeed lay the foundation for victory.

Deprived of heavy firepower, Jida was forced to retreat under the close-quarters attacks of the two Bloodline warriors.

During the struggle, a long whip made of blood shot out, wrapped around the head of the scout Puji, and pulled hard!

The little thing was torn apart.

Norris, inside the Jida, instantly lost all external vision. He immediately ejected from the cabin, using [Airborne] in mid-air to forcefully change direction and narrowly avoid the pursuing Bloodthorn.

The yellow book in his arms rustled as it turned, and the page with the gold trim began to gleam faintly.

[Kid, watch me...]

Norris suddenly slammed the book shut and held it to his chest.

Almost simultaneously, a violent wave of blood crashed down like a heavy hammer!

The massive impact slammed him against the wall, sending ice crystals and rubble scattering everywhere.

As the blood wave receded, Norris swayed and collapsed to his knees, most of his scales shattered, and blood gushed from the corner of his mouth.

“Still not dead? You’re really troublesome!” A bloodline stepped forward, grabbed him by the neck, and lifted him up, his right hand conjuring sharp blood spikes. “These lizardmen’s scales are tough enough.”

"Too...close."

"Um?"

"I said you... are too close to me!"

A torrent of magic suddenly burst forth from the hole in Norris's right chest!

"What the hell is this?!" The Bloodline retreated in terror, but it was too late.

The magic cannon that exploded at point-blank range blasted him away, its trajectory perfectly aligned with the now-uncontrolled Jida!

Jida, who had been silent since Norris came out, suddenly stood up!

"Go to hell!"

Jida stepped forward, and the buzzing drill pierced through the chest of the Bloodline while he was still in mid-air.

The bloodline member did not die on the spot; he was impaled on Jida's arm and let out a painful howl.

His companion transformed into a bloody shadow and teleported in, his scarlet blade slicing down and severing Jida's drill arm at the root!

Norris, who witnessed this, burst into unrestrained laughter.

"burst!"

The massive explosion swept through the entire corridor, instantly engulfing two Bloodlines, and even Norris was affected.

Even though Norris raised the Yellow Book again to defend himself, the violent shockwave still sent him flying like a rag doll, crashing heavily into the distance.

Even the sturdy corridor was blasted open, leaving a hideous gaping maw.

The two bloodline members had been reduced to pieces scattered across the ground, mixed with the mycelium. Norris himself was barely alive, his scales and armor completely shattered, revealing his bare bones in many places.

At the wound, hyphae and flesh wriggle and recombine.

【regeneration】

[Mycelial Recombination]

With regenerative abilities surpassing those of trolls, and if he has enough magic, he should be able to recover from this fatal wound in a few minutes.

Unfortunately, the enemy will not give him the chance.

The bloodline member who was initially seriously injured was fortunate enough to escape unharmed because he was far away and managed to dodge in time.

She stormed over the wreckage towards Norris, her eyes burning with venomous rage: "You scum... I'm going to crush your bones inch by inch!"

Norris struggled to turn his eyes, glancing at the yellow book lying beside him: "Senior... do you... have any more tricks up your sleeve?"

[You used me as a shield twice, what do you say?]

[Ouch... my book spine...]

*Sizzle*

The headless corpse collapsed in front of Norris.

Unable to turn his neck, he struggled to roll his eyes and caught a glimpse of that tall figure.

Louisa carried the head of the last bloodline in one hand; she had been drawn there by the explosion of the Jida.

She surveyed the horrific battlefield around her and roughly understood the situation.

"You did a pretty good job!" she commented.

"Hey..." Norris didn't even have the strength to twitch his lips.

The corridor, on the verge of collapse, began to crack with increasingly rapid sounds.

Louisa bent down to pick up the yellow book, then picked up Norris in a princess carry, leaped out of the breach, and landed on a group of Blood Guards with fluttering little wings, flying with Norris to safety.

...

On the other side, on a collapsed ruin.

Inanna stood tensely in confrontation with the vampire marquis opposite her.

Beside her were only Number Four and Number Ten, and the two Cold Spirits.

Originally, she was kept in the back room for safety reasons, but due to the reorganization of the building structure, she unexpectedly faced the most dangerous enemy.

"Pink Puji, don't be afraid! With me here, no one can hurt you!" Number Four immediately leaped to the front, then, after thinking for a moment, jumped onto a slightly higher pillar to continue wearing his mushroom cap.

"Idiot, don't rush in and get yourself killed again!" Number Ten stopped him in time.

However, even number ten can only call out to number four.

Snow Servant and Frost Knight seemed to sense Inanna's tension and hostility. Their ice crystal bodies simultaneously burst forth with a chilling aura as they fearlessly attacked the Marquis!

"Controlling elemental spirits? No... that's not all!" Upon witnessing this scene, Cassinar's eyes blazed with intense light, his voice trembling slightly with excitement. "Such a weak human can actually command elemental spirits far stronger than himself... you are truly a walking treasure!"

Several blood crystals shattered in his palm, and a towering wave of blood rose up, transforming into countless crimson pillars that swept towards the direction where Han Ling and Inanna were!
