"Bang!"
The revolver spewed fire, and three bullets pierced the gaping maw of the ringed fangs. The violent movement aggravated the injuries, turning the girl pale.
But it was no use. This desert worm, which was specifically targeting Minise, lost several fangs under the revolver's barrage, but still managed to bite into the tender flesh of North Korea!
"Smack!"
Just as Minise was about to perish, a streak of crimson lightning ripped through the night sky, coalescing into a spear of judgment that pierced the desert worm's head and passed through it from the other side, splashing out a large amount of dark red blood!
The momentum carried by the lightning spear sent its body flying, and the roaring lightning flames invaded its brain, causing its brain matter to explode. It was completely killed in mid-air!
The next moment, three blazing spears shot out, piercing the already dead desert worms and bursting out bursts of scorching flames.
As the lightning dissipated, the desert worm's head-blown corpse fell heavily to the ground, its flesh scattering everywhere, creating a shockwave that spread outwards.
"Smack!"
Minise landed on one knee to alleviate the impact of gravity. She was slightly out of breath. The armor covering her body was badly damaged, with several defensive parts cracked. Her already injured arm was fractured from firing the gun, and one of her ribs cracked from the force of the impact. She had lost feeling in her left calf. Worst of all, her magic energy was running low. The potential effect granted to her by the Star Pulse Tree was getting weaker and weaker. She estimated that she could only condense six potential halos next time.
She raised her complex pupils, her gaze fixed on a spot that had been flattened by the Blood Explosion spell.
"Cough cough!"
In the dim corner, Francis, who had been thrown away by the Blood Explosion spell, lay stiff and powerless after throwing the lightning spear formed from blood energy.
Xiao Han, however, stood up from a pile of ruins. The sacred object he possessed remained absolutely clean, without a speck of dust. However, a large section of his light armor had been torn off, revealing a large expanse of snow-white skin that exuded a sharp edge, resembling a piece of top-grade gold and stone.
He was about to take out the potion from his wristband when he was speechless to find that, in order to maintain his peak condition, he had drunk all the premium potions he had collected, leaving not a single drop.
Xiao Han was startled and glanced at his 36% health bar and 12% mana. He was in a bit of danger.
At the same time, he summoned the Nanfu batteries he had retrieved again, brought them close to a card, and tried to see if they could be charged.
Sure enough, just as expected, the Nanfu battery crackled and popped with electricity, giving a slightly tingling sensation when held in the hand. Thunderous potential flowed through the body, promoting blood circulation and further metabolism, probably with an effect no less than that of a ring. Improving physical fitness is truly a great benefit.
"Your Highness!"
After the battle was truly over, tanks drove up and stopped in front of Xiao Han.
Several mercenary leaders bowed respectfully to Xiao Han, thanking the sage for defeating the powerful enemy and saving Titan City once again.
The once majestic warhorse was now in a sorry state, one leg injured by the explosion and its armor shattered. As for its other companion, judging from the somber expression of the rider who rode it…
Yeah, I guess his horse died.
Facing the awe, admiration, and fervent gazes of the crowd, Xiao Han felt somewhat embarrassed. Jay, who understood him, presented him with a set of standard armor for city management officers, causing the corner of his mouth to twitch.
He suddenly turned around and glanced at the silent Minise, who was talking to Francis. The harmonious atmosphere between the father and daughter revealed a hint of eeriness, and it would be reasonable for them to turn against each other in the next instant.
Seeing this, Xiao Han hesitated for a moment. In the end, he and his subordinates recovered their strength while checking the training fees (entry fees) of the new urban management officers. They kept it a secret. The senior urban management officers were shrewd and calculating. Anyone who dared to leak the information would have to pay a large sum of compensation.
The entire Little Fox Cult subconsciously kept many things from Xiao Han, and one day not long after, they presented their revered Little Fox God with a carefully prepared surprise.
Hmm, it seems like I've forgotten something?
...
Withered blood flowed across the ground, and the air was filled with the stench of lingering blood explosion magic. The severed limbs and scattered pieces of flesh scattered throughout the streets were nauseating.
In the quiet atmosphere, the father and daughter remained silent. Minnie took a sip of her black tea and spoke first.
"Do you have any last words for me or for her? The demon altar is about to be summoned, it's urgent."
Minise stated frankly that she put down her teacup, stroked a beautifully crafted short sword, and, taking advantage of the moment to recover from the life-giving heat of the red tea, bid her final farewell to her father.
She knew very well that all the resources she had accumulated and the power she had built up were secretly supported by Francis.
Without her father's support, no matter how much she schemed and controlled the situation in Titan City, or even managed to reach the Southern Duchy and establish a weak connection with the outside world through a chance encounter, her efforts could be rendered futile by a single word from the nominal ruler of Titan City.
It seems that all the contingency plans she had secretly devised were exposed to Francis, but her father didn't care, thinking it was just a girl's mischief.
Therefore, no matter how disgusted Minnie was with the source of the blood that flowed in her veins, she had to admit that she still had a blood relationship with him.
But it is precisely because of this that she has to harden her heart, not be bound by emotions, and maintain a mechanical rationality, with the aim of making Francis feel pain and torment, in order to atone for her sins to that gentlest woman!
“I love her, Minise… This will remain etched in my soul even after I die, and it will never change.”
Francis smiled calmly. Without the burning of the demonic flames, he recovered at a visible speed thanks to his self-healing talent.
The granulation tissue fell off, revealing tender pink skin. The scorched skin peeled off, and his face returned to the elegant and dashing appearance of a middle-aged man.
Minise noticed this too, but she knew it was just Francis's last gasp before his death...
Because the other person's lower body was decaying at an even faster rate, gradually burning to ashes under an inexplicable force...
Minise held her sword, hesitated for a moment, then smiled faintly: "If you don't hurry, it will be too late. Haven't you spent these sixteen years preparing for this moment?"
"Tear!"
The dagger pierced Francis's chest, and although his heart was gone, it still made Francis turn pale.
The girl before him concealed her unusual expression, her pretty face covered with a layer of frost.
"Thank you, my daughter."
Francis touched the short sword on his chest. There was a name engraved on the hilt, and even though it had been carefully maintained by its owner, it was still covered with a layer of rust.
“Mira Bella…”
The flames engulfed his chest and spread up his shoulders. As the flames overwhelmed Francis's features, a dark red tear of blood welled up in his eyes.
Tears of blood fell, and just before hitting the ground, they ignited without leaving a trace...
