Chapter 194: The Decision to Sacrifice (Two in One)
The battle suddenly broke out on the outskirts of Kasuga Castle.
These demons that evolved from human mutations are exactly the same as those that first appeared in Val City. Perhaps it can be said that they are even larger in size than those in Val City.
Now, dozens of meat mountains rumbled towards Luluwo and the others. With a flash of light, the surface of these huge demons was suddenly covered with a layer of steel, turning them into steel chariots with wet parts!
A flash of magic flashed across the frog's head, and there was no doubt that it was his masterpiece.
Needless to say, there is only one thing to do right now: fight!
Mira, with her petite body, strode directly into the group of chariots and knocked over a meat mountain demon with her brute force.
After Em's chanting, soap bubbles fell from the sky. The slippery ground immediately caused the demons' feet to slip and they bumped into each other crookedly, creating quite a chaos at the scene.
When Luluwo made her move, several chains broke away from her cloak and bound the two closest demons tightly, so that they could not escape no matter how hard they struggled.
It was also at this time that the fish that had escaped the net rushed in front of her with great force, and it looked like it was going to smash her into a pulp!
Unfortunately, Luluwo jumped high up with just her toes touching the ground, and instantly pressed down on the demon's head with both hands. With just a slight twist, she could break his neck.
But at this moment she suddenly hesitated and just kicked him in the stomach, sending him flying.
The other demons rushed forward, and Luluwo kept dodging the intensive attacks.
"That's right, keep hiding. They may turn back into normal humans. Don't hurt them!"
Frog Head saw Luluwo's hesitation and couldn't help but smile cunningly.
He knew that the greatest weakness of human beings is emotion.
Using the red fallen demon egg he held, every human present who had used the green fallen demon egg to mutate into a demon was under his control.
After discovering that Luluwo was spying on them, Frog Head took advantage of the situation and made those people deliberately behave in a way that would arouse sympathy from humans.
This trick is indeed effective. Didn’t you see that Luluwo suddenly held back?
Froghead thought he was a genius for coming up with this trick.
"If you want them to return to their normal lives, don't use too much force, hehehe!"
In fact, these guys who are neither human nor demon can no longer live a normal life. Everything they show is imitating past habits. As for personal will? It has disappeared without a trace.
When Luluwo caught a demon and was about to lock it up, the frog head suddenly rushed towards her and clenched the fallen demon egg in his palm.
The demon's body suddenly expanded, and the next moment—
It was a silent explosion, but the damage it caused still shattered the ground!
"Captain!" Mira pushed aside the enemy in front of her and tried to rush over to check on Luluwo's situation, but she was squeezed by the swarming demons and could not move. She could only worry.
Em could only wander around the edge of the battlefield and cast spells to interfere, and had no way to go over to check the situation.
Frog Head stared at the dust in the sky with pride. He wanted to appreciate the miserable state of Luluwo after the smoke and dust cleared!
But what came straight at him through the smoke and dust were several indestructible chains.
"Huh? Eh?"
Although he tried his best to dodge, he was caught off guard and one of his legs was grabbed.
A pair of eyes flashing scarlet light lit up in the smoke, like a bloodthirsty bat staring at its prey.
Froghead broke out in a cold sweat. What he didn't expect was that telling the other party that these people might recover to normal and then causing them to self-destruct would only anger Luluwo.
The red light rushed to him like lightning. With just one punch, the frog head immediately bent up like a cooked shrimp!
He was knocked flying, but the chain was still tightly bound to his left foot, and he would be pulled back with just a slight tug.
"But, damn it!"
He glared at Luluwo with gritted teeth, shouted loudly, and tried his best to break the chains. Suddenly, a pair of twisted wings grew behind him, and with a flap of the wings, he leaped to the edge far away from the battlefield.
"What are you all doing? Stop standing there!"
The frog head shouted in exasperation, and the demons present seemed to be encouraged. Their bodies swelled even more and their strength increased accordingly.
Those demons who were tied up with chains actually managed to tear them free with brute force!
It was a horrific performance. Mira could have easily knocked it over, but now she was forced to wrestle with it.
Several demons surrounded Luluwo. She was about to fight back when she heard the shrill voice of the frog head again.
"If you move again, I'll blow Kasuga Castle to the sky."
What a despicable and shameless classic villain statement!
But Luluwo could only use chains to form a protective shield on the outside, resisting the beatings from the demons while staring at the frog head.
"Hahaha!" The frog head laughed loudly. He didn't expect that a powerful human being like Luluwo would be trapped by such words.
Today is a good day. Maybe I can transform these humans as well. I believe they can be transformed into a powerful fighting force.
But how did they find me?
Frog Head was very confused. Since someone had already discovered him, didn’t it mean that the news about him might have been spread out?
I can’t stay in this city any longer, I’m going to go back home after a big explosion tonight.
Regardless of whether Luluwo would obey his request or not, he decided to detonate all the demons hiding in various places in Kasuga City tonight. Although he had not had time to prepare everything in the plan, he should be able to raze half of the buildings in Kasuga City to the ground.
Not as good as Doslepo's, but good enough for him to inherit his position.
Luluwo stared at the frog head, thinking of a strategy.
It would be fine if Berto and his team could find and kill all the hidden demons before the other party activated the explosion, but this is obviously unrealistic.
It is not clear what means the Frog Head uses to control the demons in the city from such a long distance. Perhaps he uses that strange red ball?
If we can quickly subdue him and snatch the ball
"I'm warning you, don't act rashly." The frog head suddenly said.
Luluwo showed a look of annoyance, as if she was regretting that she shouldn't show her thoughts on her face. Now she was seen through.
Frog Head became more and more proud and felt that he could be called a master in the study of human emotions.
“Puff!”
Just when everything was developing in the direction that Frog Head most wanted, the sound of flesh being pierced suddenly was heard.
"Why?"
He lowered his head and saw that a chain had pierced his heart, with blood dripping from the chain.
A sneak attack!? When did she come? Didn't that woman just show an expression that she wanted to sneak attack?
The surrounding demons seemed to be disturbed by his emotions, and they all pounced on Luluwo violently, but it was just an afterimage.
"puff--"
The chain was pulled out suddenly and quickly wrapped around his waist, just in time to roll out the demon egg!
The next second, Luluwo suddenly appeared not far away, holding the fallen devil egg tightly in her hand. She turned to the frog head and said:
"You know, when we adventurers think of something, we have already done it."
"I don't say 'I'm going to kill you', I just say 'I've already killed you'."
Like young bamboo shoots emerging from the ground, the sharp ends of chains suddenly emerged from the ground next to the frog head, and in the next instant they would tightly bind his limbs and cut him into pieces!
"hateful!"
The frog head's body suddenly swelled, and the wound on his heart healed in an instant. At the moment when the chain was about to hit him, he clenched his fists.
“Boom boom—”
Several demons closest to Luluwo actually exploded!
Black Bat's figure flickered in the firelight. She evacuated the explosion range in time, but was still affected.
Without the Fallen Demon Egg, can the demons still explode? Why did the frog head pinch this thing before?
Luluwo looked down and saw a human face that had appeared on the demon egg at some point, looking at her and laughing with tears of blood.
"you are done!"
The frog's head had completely transformed into a giant frog as big as a hill. He opened his mouth and let out a hissing sound, even stirring up the air.
The bodies of the demons mutated again. The mountains of flesh transformed into countless tentacles. Their speed increased dramatically, and a large net woven by tentacles enveloped Luluwo and the others.
“This kind of thing.”
Luluwo was about to tear the tentacle web apart, but then human faces appeared on each tentacle.
These people were all residents of Kasuga City, and they had even seen some of them when they were in the slums.
These people's faces showed them begging expressions, as if they were begging to live.
Luluwo paused, and then she saw the face of the middle-aged man who was initially monitored.
The other party showed no expression of wanting to survive, only endless sorrow. He looked at Luluwo, his dry mouth opening and closing as if he was saying something.
"No one can save that city, I said!"
The frog head's front paws were facing Kasuga City and it grabbed it hard!
In an instant, a cold light flashed in the sky, and the endless tentacles turned into tiny pieces of flesh and blood. Not only the tentacles were torn into pieces, but the nearby demons were also torn into pieces!
"What?" The frog head widened his already big eyes. "How dare you do that!"
How come Luluwo was suddenly able to kill? If she could do it now, then what was she doing just now?
Looking at Luluwo who turned the chain into an iron ball and threw it at him, Froghead gritted his teeth and continued the detonation!
When his claws clenched, flames exploded all over Kasuga City. This was the scene that Frog Head longed to see.
However--
“Boom!”
The iron ball hit him hard in the face, reminding him of the time when he was chased by the iron ball when he first entered the Sen dungeon.
The huge body fell heavily to the ground, and he immediately jumped up and shouted, "Impossible, why didn't it explode!"
The chains loosened, and Luluwo was about to chase after him, but when she looked up and saw something, she was stunned.
"Because the wolves have devoured them all."
“Ouch!”
Under the moonlight, a shrill wolf howl pierced Frog Head's ears. Before he could look at the source of the strange sound, he was hit on the back by a huge force and fell to the ground from mid-air.
“Who, who is it!”
The frog head was furious, and when he saw the face of the person coming clearly, he suddenly let out a scream like a girl.
"It's you! Why is it you!"
The figure standing on the giant wolf was Froghead's nightmare.
On that day in Val City, he was so frightened when he saw that figure kill Doslebo that he immediately ran for his life.
The reason why he chose to launch his operation in Kasuga City, far away from Bed City, was to avoid this plague god!
Why, why did he still chase after me!
Dahl stood on the back of the giant wolf. A full moon hung high in the sky, like a giant eye overlooking the world.
The Farlan sword in his hand was humming, it was thirsty for blood.
Dal only took one look at the frog head and judged the opponent's strength. His skin quickly turned red and his sparse black hair exploded like a hedgehog, which was proof that his wolf blood had been stimulated.
The frog head was extremely scared. He opened his mouth and spit out an air cannon that almost turned into a solid object. This was his most powerful move, and its power was enough to split mountains and rocks!
But Dahl was not panicked at all.
Wolf blood + wolf ring + wolf jump, without adding other BUFFs, this is his strongest attack!
At this moment, the wolf jump that he had practiced countless times in his mind, imitating Artorius, finally had the chance to be performed.
It was a simple fight, but with this move that contained murderous intent, the air cannon turned completely into air just like its name.
The sword flashed and blood spurted out.
The frog head's huge body split neatly in half. Dahl shook off the blood on the sword, and the giant wolf howled loudly as if in celebration.
"Where is the leader of the demons?" He looked at Luluwo, whose expression changed and slowly pointed behind Dal.
"?"
A question mark appeared above Dahl's head. He turned around and looked around, and it took him a moment to come back to his senses.
"ah?"
Seeing Dal turning from a cool and handsome guy into a confused person in just one second, Luluwo finally couldn't help it and said, "Why did you come out at such a late moment? You almost scared me to death just now, you know!"
She pointed to Kasuga Castle in the distance and asked, "Did you solve the explosion in the city? And where are the remaining Fran guards?"
Dar shook his head. "They are working on the problem in the city. They should have succeeded by now."
"Stop telling me riddles and tell me what happened." Luluwo puffed up her cheeks angrily. When she found that taking away the fallen demon egg still couldn't stop the explosion, she almost despaired. Dal's timing was really good. He really looked like a superhero the moment he landed.
Even Luluwo was stunned by his handsomeness for a moment.
"I should be able to guess what they did. After all, I rushed here when I sensed the battle on your side, but did not enter the city."
Dal smiled and told Luluwo his guess, but the frog-headed corpse behind him moved suddenly.
Time goes back to a while ago, in Kasuga Castle.
Berto and Ace were running around the city shouting, using amplification magic to spread the news that there were monsters hiding in the city, and that they would soon explode, and even the deepest sleepers would be woken by the noise.
But the consequences of their behavior can be imagined. How could people believe the warnings of strangers who came out of nowhere? Some people who were angry when they woke up threw rotten eggs at them.
And Berto had no way to identify the demons hiding in Kasuga Castle, which made the news they said become a rumor.
It was not until they showed their identification as silver-level adventurers that some people were willing to believe them.
Originally, Berto wanted to use the name of the new strategy team, but he found that the people here didn't seem to know much about them, so he had to use the banner of the strategy team and lied that his name was Leon and that Aisi beside him was Maru. This trick was effective. Many people in Kasuga City had heard of "Lion" Leon, so more people were willing to leave the city for refuge.
This phenomenon dealt a heavy blow to Berto, but human lives were at stake and there was no time to be depressed. He evacuated the residents in the name of Leon while carefully observing the demons that might be hiding in the crowd, but on the surface there was no difference at all.
What should I do? What should I do?
Even if all the residents left Kasuga Castle, the demons might be mixed in with the crowd, and the damage caused by the explosion would be just as great.
The troubles don't end there. After hearing the news, the local lord also brought people to check out the situation. Everyone was sleeping soundly when suddenly two people came and disturbed the order. This was like a slap in the face of the lord. How could this be tolerated?
This was absolutely intolerable, so the lord ordered the guards to stop people from leaving the city, and personally appeared to question Bertolt and Aisi.
Berto now regretted that they did not inform the local lord of the news of the demon clan in time in order not to alert the enemy, which led to the current blood pressure-raising scene.
The demons may explode at any time. Firstly, it is impossible to determine who the demons are. Secondly, the lord’s misunderstanding cannot be explained in a short time. The current situation is really anxious.
It was at this critical moment that the demons came to assist.
"Ah! There's a monster!"
Suddenly, someone in the crowd swelled and twisted into a terrifying demon. This change instantly caused chaos at the scene, and also indirectly confirmed the statements of Bertolt and others.
Faced with the demons that preyed on anyone they wanted, the Kasuga Castle guards, who had been slack for a long time, fled in all directions after a brief resistance. The fact that they were able to resist showed their high quality.
In just a short moment, people placed their hopes on Berto and Aisi who brought the news. Since they are "Leon" and "Maluo", they can definitely deal with the demons, right?
It can really be dealt with, but what if the other party explodes due to a little provocation?
Berto and his men did not dare to act rashly, but when they saw the demons slaughtering the surrounding residents, they could not bear it any longer and immediately chose to fight against the demons.
It is not difficult to kill the demon, but the situation becomes complicated when the opponent falls to the ground and his body begins to expand.
There is no doubt that this is going to explode!
If Ai Si used all her strength to activate the magic shield, she might be able to cover it and reduce the damage caused by the explosion, but...
"ah!"
A series of screams were heard from the crowd, and people underwent horrible mutations one after another. These demons hiding in the crowd completely removed their disguises, and were about to self-destruct as soon as they revealed their faces in front of the world.
These situations occurred in an instant, and no matter how prepared a person was, he would not be able to react.
One demon after another swells and swells again, chaotic and disordered magic power rampaging in their bodies. Once it explodes, the power will be comparable to high-level magic.
Despair, despair appears among the crowd, but more people do not even have time to feel despair, and will meet their end in obscurity.
Berto gritted his teeth. At this moment, his understanding of the word "powerless" reached its peak.
“Ah——”
When people were suffering from the fear of the demons and were filled with despair in their hearts, a wolf's howl pierced the darkness.
More than one wolf howl sounded in the night. It was a huge wolf pack!
Along with howling sounds, giant wolves appeared in people's eyes, and on the back of each giant wolf was a person wearing unprecedented armor.
They wore triangular iron helmets, held greatswords and daggers in their hands, and beneath their iron masks lay a pair of eyes that were fixed intently on the demons.
The moment people saw them, they all wanted to shout out the name "Fran's Immortals".
But upon closer inspection, the armor of this suddenly appearing wolf cavalryman is quite different from that of the Fran Undead Corps. Although the armor is imitating the style of the Undead Corps, it is more simplified, as if they feel they are not worthy of using the Undead Corps' armor and deliberately simplify it.
Some well-informed people called out their names:
"Flan Guard!"
The bodies of the giant wolves were like gray meteors flashing in the night. They suddenly appeared beside the demons, opened their bloody mouths and bit them tightly. In the moment of biting, only half of the demon's body was left!
A magical thing happened at this moment. The remaining body of the demon also contained explosive energy, but the giant wolf swallowed it into its stomach with just a slight suck, without any sense of incongruity!
Meteors flashed by one after another, and corpses fell one after another.
By the time people realized that a demon attack had occurred and were about to scream, all the demons present had turned into shriveled corpses with only half of their bodies left.
"Yeah?"
People stopped screaming mid-scream, their mouths hanging open, their brains unable to process the situation.
The Fran guards dealt with the demons in an instant?
Are they really that strong?
And those giant wolves, didn’t Dal originally have only three gray wolves that could “Gigantamax”? But now the number of wolves appearing before the world has reached a staggering twenty!
On the back of each giant wolf sat a Fran guard. Except for a few who held staffs, the rest held imitation Fran swords and daggers, which seemed to be their standard equipment.
What is the use of those people holding staffs?
A demon with tenacious vitality struggled to get up and pounced on the resident nearby. The Fran Undead Squad holding the staff raised their hands and released a series of swift spells, ending his life in an instant.
The name of this magic is Fran Short Arrow!
About two-thirds of the Fran guards present exuded the aura of wild beasts, which was the proof of the arousal of wolf blood.
Did they accept wolf blood?
In terms of momentum, it is much weaker than the real Fran Undead Squad, or even Dal, but that is real wolf blood!
With the blessing of wolf blood, a farmer who has been tilling the land all his life can kill monsters with his bare hands!
Under the moonlight, the wolf riders stood in a group, the bright moonlight projected on their silver and black armor, they seemed like the gods of death sent by God to punish the demons.
Without stopping at all, the giant wolves immediately scattered and ran away. Just when people were wondering what they were doing, the giant wolves bit the figure of the demon from the shadow of the city.
Their perception of the demons has become extremely sharp. Even if they are disguised as humans, they will be caught as long as they reveal the slightest flaw!
A massacre against the demons began in Kasuga Castle.
The Fran guards, or the survivors of the city of Val, finally felt the pleasure of revenge at this moment. The smelly blood of the demons was full of rich fragrance in their eyes. This was the best opportunity to cleanse their inner demons.
When the blood of the demons poured over their bodies, some people cried out loudly, some laughed loudly, and some howled non-stop.
The people of Kasuga City stared at all this in a daze. Many years later, there were still a steady stream of pilgrims coming to the place where the Fran Guards had their first action, asking the elders about the scene back then.
The old people only say this:
"It was pure revenge."
"That's about it."
Dahl told him what he knew. Luluwo was stunned for a moment, then swallowed hard, grabbed her hair and shouted heartbrokenly:
"Why wasn't I there?"
“I really want to see it!”
Dar didn't know what to say and could only smile politely.
To be honest, the current scene is quite different from when he rushed here in a hurry.
He thought he would face a tough opponent who was as strong as Doslebo, and win after a hard-fought battle of sweat and blood, but...
How come he killed the final boss right at the start?
"It is still necessary to recover the corpses of the demons."
He looked at the tentacle demons around him that had gone into shutdown due to the death of the frog head, and finally turned to look at the frog head that was split in two.
"Um?"
The hill-like body of the frog head still existed, but it was visibly shriveled, as if its essence had been absorbed by something.
In the distance, a thin figure was running as hard as he could, running towards the portal of Cangyin Dungeon.
That guy has a frog head. A frog head!
He escaped silently!
Dal took a deep breath. The effect of the wolf blood had not yet worn off. He immediately gathered all his strength and ran towards the frog head, running faster than riding a giant wolf.
The frog head realized that he had been discovered, and immediately dug out another fallen demon egg from his mouth. This was the fallen demon egg that could truly control the demons!
"Stop him!"
The demons that had been shut down woke up in an instant. They twisted and softened into an indescribable mass of tentacles. They burned all their energy and desperately grabbed at Dal, forcing the latter to turn around and defend. As the sword flashed, pieces of tentacles flew all over the sky.
But when he got rid of the tentacles and turned around to chase, the frog head had already rushed into the portal.
Even if Dal rushed in again at this time, he would not be able to enter the same "world" as the other party.
“.”
He glanced at the moon. It wouldn't be long until midnight. When Frog Head was kicked out of the dungeon, he would not be able to escape the fate of death!
In the Cangyin Underground City, Frog Head was panting heavily, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Hehehe, I still have one last killer move to make."
He has a hidden killer move that has been hidden for a long time, and even Doslepo doesn't know about it - a unique talent [Unstable Mutation].
Once he uses this move, he will undergo unpredictable mutations, but what is certain is that after the mutation, all fatigue in his body will be eliminated, and his strength will be raised to a higher level.
So he never used this trick.
Dahl is very strong, but if he can unleash his potential, he may have a chance to win!
But this move takes time, so the dungeon is the best place to retreat.
"Time, all I need is time."
"Damn human! When I become stronger, I will go out and kill your entire family!"
"Hahaha, this dungeon is a safe zone tailor-made for me!"
These words were heard by Heinis.
She looked at the Frog Head in surprise. She didn't expect that the other party would be injured so badly. Who did it? That group of adventurers?
She had sent the remains of the demon to Luluwo and his group with the idea of giving it a try, but she didn't expect it to really work. The Frog Head was beaten to the point where his mother didn't even recognize him, and it looked like he was about to die.
Heinis waved her arms and cheered a little, feeling extremely relieved, but she also became worried about what the frog head had just said.
This bad guy seems to have a hidden killer move. I wonder if the adventurers outside can deal with it.
What if the frog head becomes stronger and goes out to kill everyone?
Heinis's body trembled, she couldn't dare to imagine that scene.
But is there any way to stop the frog head from transforming?
Only she can do it, right?
She looked at her remaining mental strength, then looked at the frog head that was still scary despite being severely injured, shook her head vigorously, and said:
"Since the people outside can beat him up like this, they should be able to deal with the transformed giant frog."
She said this, trying to convince herself, but——
A picture suddenly appeared in Hainis's mind, which was a picture of Luluwo and his group lying on the ground in a bloody mess, and the frog head laughing wildly.
She didn't know Luluwo and the others, but she didn't want them to die at the hands of the demons at all.
What's more, they really did give Froghead a good beating.
"If that's all I need."
She clenched her fists and looked like she was about to go crazy.
I really don't have enough mental strength anymore. If I consume it any more, I will really die, but...
But I don’t want anyone outside to die.
She swung her fist violently, hitting the [Usable Monster].
On it is the strongest monster in Cangyin Dungeon, an elegant knight woven from vines [Forest Knight].
Legend has it that he will protect the weak people from the invasion of monsters. After victory, a small white flower will grow on his finger and be given to the child with the purest heart.
The price of a forest knight is something that Hainess cannot afford at the moment, and once summoned, he will only have a few days left to live.
“.”
Heinis's eyes flickered.
In the Cangyin underground city, Frog Head is undergoing some kind of transformation. His body is swelling up, then shrinking, as if he is gestating something.
Just then, flowers suddenly sprouted from the stinking swamp.
Green grass grew from the rotten leaves, intertwined with white flowers, and fluttering butterflies flew out from the stamens.
An elegant forest knight came from a distance and swung his rapier at the frog head.
Just like the princess's guardian knight in a fairy tale, he swung the sword of justice at the ugly monster.
However.
The outcome of the battle was not satisfactory.
The strongest monster in the Cangyin Dungeon cannot defeat the frog head that is in the process of mutation!
Despair flashed in Heinis's eyes. What should she do? Her remaining mental strength was not enough to summon another forest knight.
Could it be that even if she fought with all her might, she still couldn't defeat the frog head?
If only I had more power
[Received a gift from the Sean Dungeon: 1000 Spiritual Power]
[Received gifts from the Thane Dungeon: Cherry Bomb, Fiery Pepper]
"who?"
Heinis was stunned.
Things at work have been so bad lately that I have no time to write. I am really sorry for everyone. I am guilty of updating late today.
