Chapter 40

With an unspoken understanding, Douma and Verlaine headed to the deserted outskirts of Yokohama, one after the other.

After turning off the car, Tong Ma got out with an umbrella, being careful not to let the last rays of sunlight shine on him.

At the same time, Weilain descended from the sky surrounded by a dark red light and landed lightly on the grass not far away.

Douma glanced at the sky that was about to darken, then turned his head to look at Weilun, a tough guy who didn't talk much. He wanted to buy time but also really wanted to get an answer: "Why did you chase me first?"

In the original novel, wasn't it the unlucky "Flag Society" that was sacrificed to the gods by Weilun at the beginning? How come it has become him now? Is this some kind of "I am the unlucky one" joke?

Weilun didn't mind letting a dying man die with a clear conscience. He said, "Didn't your boss tell you about this? He wrote the order of the list as a condition for killing him last."

“……” Although Douma always knew that Mori Ogai was a despicable person, he never thought that Mori Ogai could be so despicable.

Using him as a scapegoat, is this what a human being does?! Douma Evil Dragon Roaring.jpg┆┆

"You cunning human, stop wasting time. Your brother won't be able to get here in time." Weilun mistakenly thought that Douma wanted to delay until Chuuya Nakahara arrived, and frowned slightly in displeasure: "Even if he comes, you will still die."

In the eyes of Weilun, who was at the peak of his power, the 15-year-old Nakahara Chuuya was still too young and was not capable of competing with him.

Although, I don’t think I’m human. Douma had to try very hard not to say this in Verlaine’s face.

While Weilan hadn't completely lost his patience, Douma took the opportunity to ask the question that had been in his mind since before the time travel: "The last question, since you knew that Chuuya would be unhappy if you killed us, Chuuya's friends, why did you still do this?"

Facing this question, Weilun showed a puzzled expression, as if he didn't understand why Douma asked this, but he still answered politely: "Because he is my younger brother, I am helping him to eliminate the hypocritical humans around him who are trying to take advantage of him. He may not understand it now, but when he grows up, he will understand that my behavior is correct."

"..." Douma was speechless. What kind of feudal patriarchal personality does Weilan have? Is it worthy of his young and handsome face?

After answering the other party's last question, Weilun, feeling that he had done his best, tapped his feet lightly, and the dark red gravity spread along the ground to the surroundings.

Douma quickly stepped back, putting some distance between himself and Verlaine so as not to be covered by Verlaine's gravity.

It was seen that everything touched by Weilun's gravity was covered with a layer of dark red light and slowly floated up.

Facing the countless uprooted trees in midair and the car he drove over, Douma could not help but fall silent. Isn't Weilun very arrogant? Why should he be so cautious? How can he play such a big game at the beginning?

Complaining in his heart did not affect Douma's speed of attack. He pulled out the golden folding fan in his arms and launched the blood demon technique that he had kept in his heart: "Mist Ice·Water Lily Bodhisattva."

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge ice Bodhisattva rose from the ground, and with its slow but actually fast hand knife, it fiercely split the rocks, trees and cars that Weilan had thrown at it, and even left deep grooves on the ground.

Although the attack was easily resolved, Weilun remained calm. He did not dodge or evade the pile of ice cones that Douma sent back at him, but used gravity to take them.

Then the next second Weilan's body froze. Although gravity stopped the ice cones at the critical moment, they actually caused him frostbite when they touched his body.

"You are really strong." Verlaine put away his nonchalant expression, and then he chuckled: "It's you, the one who made Rimbaud feel jealous and chose to give up the mission of bringing back the 'Arabato' and hurried back to France."

“???” Douma looked at Weilan’s confident reasoning in confusion, thinking that this misunderstanding was particularly outrageous.

Douma: I’m not, I didn’t, don’t talk nonsense!

Although he understood why Weilun did not underestimate the enemy and instead used his ultimate move at the beginning, Douma did not feel happy. Instead, he felt very upset.

Douma looked at the handsome man in front of him with his blue eyes that seemed affectionate but were actually ruthless, and suddenly realized that Weilaine was called the "Nordic God" not only because of his strength, but also because of his temperament.

After realizing this, Douma put away his smile and said seriously, "It wasn't me who made Rimbaud give up his mission. You were the only one who could make him give up his mission from the beginning to the end."

As a senior spy, Verlaine should not be so easily influenced by the words of others. However, when it comes to the topic of Rimbaud, he can't help but think and pay too much attention to it.

Wei'laan's smile slowly froze on his face. He seemed to not understand Douma's words and showed a blank expression: "Because of me? How is that possible? If he was willing to give up the mission for me, he wouldn't..."

Having said this, Verlaine recalled the time when he betrayed Rimbaud. He stopped talking and his wavering heart became firm again.

"You are trying to deceive me." Wei'erlaan's eyes were full of frost, and he was completely enraged by Douma.

Under the powerful pressure of gravity, the earth began to tremble. Weilan was wrapped in dark red light and attacked Douma's vital points. He was serious.

Douma, who is also not human, adapted well to Verlaine's speed. He leaned sideways to avoid Verlaine's blow aimed at his heart.

Even though Weilan didn't have any weapons in his hands, with the help of gravity, if he succeeded in this attack, there would definitely be a big hole in his chest.

However, this also made Douma unexpectedly discover that Verlaine actually cared about Rimbaud. Just mentioning Rimbaud could shake Verlaine's mind, which is extremely deadly in a battle between masters.

Douma apologized to Rimbaud in his heart, and then continued to talk about Rimbaud without any burden, deliberately disturbing Verlaine's emotions: "Whether I am lying to you or not, you know it in your heart. Can you really not feel Rimbaud's sincerity towards you?"

"Shut up!" Weilun launched another close attack, this time aiming at Douma's neck.

In comparison, Douma's performance was very calm. He took advantage of Weilun's unstable mood and quietly launched [Vampire Art: Crystal Warring States].

The little ice men, who looked exactly like Douma, hid in various inconspicuous corners with great agility. Under Douma's command, they used [Blood Demon Art: Freeze Cloud] together in the direction where Weilan was.

At the same time, Douma controlled the huge Ice Bodhisattva and exhaled a large amount of ice crystals towards Weilan.

However, the sudden drop in temperature around them could not be concealed. Fortunately, Weilun himself had frostbite and was in an unstable mood at the moment, so he did not notice the abnormal temperature.

The result of Douma daring to do two things at the same time when fighting the Transcendent was that his neck was cut open by Verlaine.

Then Weilan saw a strange phenomenon. The wound on Douma that should have been bleeding profusely was motionless, as if he had just cut the neck of a dead person instead of a living person. It even recovered to its uninjured state in the blink of an eye.

Verlaine: ...?!

After being shocked, Weilan calmed down a lot, and his eyes narrowed dangerously: He is indeed not easy to deal with. If he can't be killed just by cutting his neck, then I will use gravity to grind him into powder. No matter how powerful his regenerative ability is, it will be useless.

"Poor man, be crushed by gravity."

As soon as he finished speaking, the dark red light belonging to Verlaine on Douma's body became brighter. It turned out that through the brief contact just now, Verlaine had already covered Douma's body with gravity.

The powerful gravity instantly pressed Douma into the ground.

"Crackle, crackle..." All the bones in Douma's body made teeth-grinding protest sounds, and the damaged parts recovered as before in the next second, repeating over and over again.

If it weren't for the copper skin and iron bones of the shell, Douma would have been crushed into a pool of flesh by now.

The intense pain made Douma grit his teeth to avoid screaming in shame. He closed his eyes and became ruthless. He ordered the little ice man, who was in tune with him, to increase the output regardless of the cost, and controlled the huge ice Bodhisattva to attack Weilun.

With Weilan's skills, it is impossible for him to be attacked by the Ice Bodhisattva, but Douma's purpose was not this. Instead, he wanted Weilan to increase his activity and inhale the poisonous ice crystals into his lungs.

Using so many [Blood Demon Arts] at the same time consumed so much energy that Douma's eyes went dark, and the burning hunger even surpassed the pain in his body.

The smell of the Beyonder's meat nearby also puts Douma's sanity at risk.

When the string in Douma's brain broke, his body forcibly broke free from the gravity pressing on him, not caring at all that this would cause his body to be torn into pieces, and he suddenly knocked down Weilun, who had already let down his guard.

The predator's fangs dug deep into Weilan's neck, mercilessly tearing the delicious flesh into its mouth and chewing it voraciously.

The flesh and blood of the transcendents is a great tonic for the ogre, and Douma, who has lost his mind, can't stop at all.

Weilun naturally couldn't let Douma do whatever he wanted, so with the help of gravity, he simply and roughly tore off Douma's limbs, but unexpectedly found that the torn off parts could not be crushed by gravity, and would even wriggle and grow back together with the main body.

Wei'erlaan's pupils trembled: ...Am I not a human being, or are you not a human being?

Verlaine, who was doubting his life, was about to use his final move: "open the door", but it was too late because the poison that Douma had planted in his body took effect.

"Despicable...even poisoned..." Weilun frowned and endured Douma's gnawing, and finally closed his eyes unwillingly.

With his energy replenished, Douma gradually regained his sanity, but when he realized that he had just eaten human flesh, he was stunned.

Of course, it is impossible for Yue to be satisfied, and I even think it smells really good!

However, as a human being (?), Douma suppressed his desire to continue. After reluctantly sucking a few mouthfuls of blood, he finally lifted his head from Weilaine.

Looking at the motionless and dying Verlaine, Douma turned away guiltily: "I hope Rimbaud won't come to fight me in person because of Verlaine."
