Chapter 519 - 509: I Won’t Let You Die
The six-meter-tall ice crystal body of the Frost Knight showed no clumsiness, and each swing of its massive sword, shrouded in cold mist, stirred up a storm.
Casinar continuously evaded under the relentless sword strikes while also splitting his focus to manipulate blood and shatter the ice crystals shot by the Snow Attendant from midair.
Those seemingly thin ice shards could instantly freeze everything they touched.
The coordination of the two Palace Level Cold Spirits temporarily suppressed the Marquis, giving Number Four an opportunity.
It suddenly broke free from Number Ten’s restraint, its fungal body curling into a ball, rolling swiftly along the ruins’ terrain in an arc and fearlessly charging along Casinar’s path of retreat!
"Taste my Blade Storm!"
But Number Four was mistaken about one thing—the Cold Spirits were not controlled by Inanna.
They were attracted to Inanna, following her, protecting her, and restraining their aggression around her.
But that did not mean they cared about anyone other than Inanna.
The frost sword struck the ground, sending Number Four flying, only to be hit by an ice crystal once more.
In an instant, Number Four turned into a frozen lump, plunging straight into the darkness of the adjacent collapse.
Even the Marquis, who was preparing to defend, almost lost his composure at the sight.
"Number Four!" Although she knew Number Four could revive, Inanna still felt very distressed seeing Number Four get hurt.
Number Ten slammed the ground with its tentacles: "That idiot!"
It observed the situation on the field, and although the Blood Race seemed suppressed, their stance was not at all troubled, indicating this was far from their full strength.
Number Ten resolutely mobilized the demon crystal within itself—Group Invisibility Technique!
It was not a skill but proper magic.
While other Pukis were still studying which skill was more powerful, Number Ten had already started to self-study magic.
It then pulled Pink Puki, ready to slip away.
But how could Casinar let the treasure before his eyes slip away so easily?
The ability to control Cold Spirits, just being able to move freely in the ruins at this moment, was worth any cost for him to capture Inanna.
The Marquis suddenly halted his retreat, and the dark red blood light accumulated in his palm shot out instantly, penetrating the two Cold Spirits.
The blood arrows embedded in the ice crystal bodies exploded into countless barbs, pinning the Snow Attendant and the Frost Knight firmly in place.
The Cold Spirits struggled continuously, but breaking free from this bondage would take a few minutes, which was more than enough time for Casinar.
Casinar raised his hand with a wave, and the surging blood curtain already blocked Inanna’s escape route.
Although he could not see, through the keen sense of the blood, Casinar could still roughly lock onto Inanna’s position.
As for that last Puki, it must be near the woman...
A gust of wind approached his ears, and the invisible Number Ten was close by.
Mud Swamp Technique!
Mushroom Cannon!
Self-Destruction!
Number Ten was very clear about the disparity in strength between the two sides; it was impossible to harm the Blood Race Marquis without self-destructing.
The Mud Swamp Technique was merely to slightly slow its movement, while the true target of the Mushroom Cannon was the blood curtain blocking Inanna’s path!
"Run!" came the final transmission from Number Ten within the Fungal Network.
Inanna forcibly held back her tears and turned to escape through the breach in the blood curtain.
The aftermath of the explosion had not yet dissipated when Casinar slowly emerged from the shadows at the far end of the wall.
Half his cheek was injured by the blast, looking quite miserable, but the injury was not severe.
This kind of Puki, which had no blood inside, was indeed hard to find amidst the chaos, but to charge forward it had to move, giving him a chance to discover it in advance.
Almost simultaneously with Number Ten’s self-destruction, he shrank into the shadows, thus only sustaining minor surface wounds.
"You can’t escape, human!" He transformed into a scarlet shadow, swiftly darting in Inanna’s direction, "Don’t worry, I won’t kill you! I will make you a blood slave, you will be my most obedient and useful tool!"
"Are you trying to take my thing?"
The terrifying voice seemed to come from the depths of the Abyss, causing Casinar to shiver all over and his movements to slow for a split second.
Then with a "boom", the rock wall to the side burst open, and a gigantic beast Puki, curled into a ball, came crashing through.
At the same time, Number Four’s excited voice burst through the Fungal Network: "Haha! Pink Puki, don’t be afraid, I’m back to rescue you after leveling up!"
This giant beast Puki was summoned by Lin Jun using those hidden Pukis buried in the ruins, and Number Four, having driving experience, got stuffed in as well.
Number Four was evidently very happy to have such a large fungal body again: "Mount Tai Crush!"
Casinar had no choice but to halt and retreat, blocked by the suddenly emerging giant beast Puki.
"What kind of monster is this?" He found it somewhat incomprehensible to understand this creature before him.
How could there be such a large Puki in the world?
Fragments of the Dragon Roar Valley battle report flashed through his mind abruptly.
Could it be that Duke Sigmund wasn’t exaggerating to escape blame... were those absurd descriptions actually true?
No wonder he didn’t believe it, the battle report content was too outrageous, who would believe it without witnessing it firsthand?
Casinar quickly steadied his mind.
He continuously evaded the wild flailing tentacles of the giant Puki, occasionally counterattacking with several Blood Blades, and soon noticed the problem.
His attacks hit the opponent almost as if disappearing into the sea, even a charged attack might not cause substantial damage to this thing.
The recovery ability of the giant troll seemed crippled in comparison to it!
Though a calm observation revealed that it was actually quite cumbersome.
No, rather this was reasonable.
He was initially a bit intimidated by Duke Sigmund’s battle report records, but the slow movement of the giant beast was indeed normal.
Casinar stopped entangling with it and merged into the shadows, bypassing Number Four and heading straight for Inanna.
"Playing dirty, aren’t we?!"
Detecting the vampire’s intent, Number Four’s tentacles shot out swiftly, wrapping around the surprised Inanna, stuffing her entirely into its own body.
It even deliberately used a tentacle to push her in, adjusting her position to ensure she was in the safest spot.
Subsequently, the massive body of the giant Puki curled into a ball and remained motionless.
Several fierce Blood Blades slashed across the mushroom’s body, cutting several meters deep, yet the mushroom flesh squirmed and healed at a visible speed, quickly restoring to its original state.
Casinar slowly emerged from the shadows, his usually clever mind momentarily out of ideas.
Lin Jun didn’t miss any opportunity for an output:
"Hehehe... out of solutions? Trying to escape? Too late!"
"I’ve already destroyed the Teleportation Array, you can’t run away, old bat!"
"Don’t worry, I won’t kill you! I’ll turn you into a Mushroom Slave, and you’ll become my most obedient and useful tool!"
"Hmm... wait, that’s kind of like killing you..."
Casinar then located the source of the disgusting voice, a wriggling sack amid the ruins not far away.
Hearing that the Teleportation Array was destroyed, he immediately sensed something amiss.
Since the opponent clearly knew about this escape route, they evidently weren’t lying.
Yet, he didn’t flee.
He noticed that these enemies clearly valued the human.
Then he still had a chance.
No longer launching futile attacks, the Marquis recalled all the blood, encasing himself in layers, while also activating Shadow Power. His entire body gradually twisted and compressed, finally transforming into a sharp, black-red interwoven spear!
He intended to pierce through the giant Puki’s body in one strike, seizing that human as a hostage!
The Dragon Roar Valley report mentioned that the giant Puki would Self-Destruct; this was effectively walking into the trap.
But he wanted to take a gamble, betting that these enemies cared enough about that specially capable human not to blow themselves and her up together!
However, he couldn’t even take the first step.
Unbeknownst to him, his feet were already frozen to the ground.
Following that, the blood surging around him, that scarlet liquid instantly crystallized into translucent dark red ice, maintaining its last flowing posture.
A pale blue figure slowly floated down from above.
The gown composed of pure coldness lightly skimmed by, with each ice crystal scattered upon it blooming into a piece of frost flower when it touched the ground.
The Frost Elemental Lord descended quietly, without sound or imposing pressure, only the surrounding temperature kept dropping.
It lightly exhaled.
Casinar frantically activated his internal Power; just as he shattered the ice on his legs, a new layer of frost spread to his waist. He attempted to slip into the shadows but found even the shadows were frozen.
In this desperate tug-of-war, the Marquis’s movements gradually slowed, and the ice layer on his body grew thicker and thicker.
If it weren’t for Number Four Puki protecting him on Lin Jun’s orders, Casinar would have perished on the spot.
Lin Jun was a trustworthy Mushroom, having just claimed not to kill; how could he allow him to die just like that?!
However, the current issue was...
The Frost Elemental Lord, seemingly weightless, was slowly approaching Number Four and the Inanna wrapped within it, even without an attack, frost had already climbed onto the giant Puki’s surface.
Crack—
The Temperature Pendant on Inanna’s neck perished in the face of the true extreme cold...
