Outside the city, there were constant shouts and screams.
Neil bent down, picked up a turbid brown substance from a pile of ash on the ground, and put it in his arms.
This is the mysterious substance that precipitated after the death of Bandage Man Slapan.
Looking around, Neil's eyes were fixed on a sloping-roof palace high above the city. The four largest load-bearing columns extended above the roof, with four gray-green flags with eye patterns hanging on them.
There, is the location of the Fazi Palace.
The residence of the Montoya royal family.
After three years of fighting, Neil finally led his army all the way from the coastal bridgehead Mantovani to the capital of the Kingdom of Fazzi.
That is here, the city of Yarolim.
After killing "Captain of the King's Guard" Slapan, nothing could stop Neil.
ever!
Neil sheathed his sword, flicked his cloak, and strode towards the palace.
Along the way, countless Faz people hid in their houses with their doors and windows closed.
When they saw the tall knight passing by so recklessly, faint exclamations, mixed with screams of panic and unintelligible Faz dialect, came from the houses on the street.
But Neil ignored it.
He walked straight up the wide steps and reached the end. He stopped and looked back, and saw that the city gate had been broken. Countless soldiers from Greenshade Port rushed to the top of the wall and followed the large army to kill their way in.
"The credit goes to me..."
Neil grinned.
He turned around and rushed towards the palace gate.
The guards here were all knights, but facing Neil, they couldn't even draw their swords. They just stood there in a daze, and Neil could easily pierce their hearts or behead them.
Neil came to the meeting room unhindered.
Dozens of heavily armored knights holding halberds surrounded him. He watched calmly, just raised his hand and made a few gestures, which made the enemies stand still.
Immediately, he swung a sword flower with one hand, and with the other hand, he spread out his five fingers, raised them high and closed them, summoning a huge ball of extraordinary flames that fell on these knights.
"ah!"
"ah!
”
Amid screams of pain, the sturdy and strong knights were burned by the flames and roasted alive in the "tin can".
There were a few muffled clangs.
The heavily-armored knights turned red all over and fell to the ground one by one, emitting high temperatures that distorted the air.
The armor, like a branding iron, even ignited the expensive carpet. The fire spread along the combustible materials, and soon the meeting hall was engulfed in flames, all red.
Neil ignored the flames, strode forward, and came straight to the throne.
He raised his head and stared at the old man above.
"Your Majesty Montoya IV, I regret to inform you that the Kingdom of Faze is over. From now on, this territory belongs to Morris and glory... and your head will become my honor and achievement."
"Nils the Iron Sword, I know you..."
The old man was originally leaning on the throne as if dozing off. At this moment, he opened his eyes, and his cloudy eyes looked down at Neil, but his expression was unusually calm.
"The battle between the kingdoms of Faz and Morris is only a small part of the overall situation. It does not represent anything, nor can it shake anything... The Mera Empire can stand on the Beretta continent, where the holy fire is everywhere, because of the protection of our Lord. My death, and even the demise of Faz, will not only fail to bring you fertile land and population, but will also bring you endless disasters and epidemics."
The old king gave a mocking smile.
"If the 'Pain Sect' had not evacuated in advance, you would not have been able to get here at all. You would have festered all over halfway and died in pain, wailing and repentance..."
"It is an honor to listen to your majesty's last words."
Neil smiled faintly.
He drew the British Lion sword from his back and walked towards the throne.
"Now, it's time for you to die."
"Oh? Really?!"
Montoya IV was not panicked, but rather showed more mockery.
In the burning palace hall, besides the crackling of flames, only the old king's laughter echoed.
"Then you should die with me, an old man... I was thinking that I could take a group of elite troops from Greenshade Port with me before I died, but I didn't expect that you would be the only one. What a pity."
"Um?!"
Neil's expression suddenly changed.
He was surprised to find that his face was a little cold.
He raised his hand and wiped it, but he didn't know when it started, but blood started flowing from all his orifices.
Blood dripped onto the ground.
Neil's eyes were then drawn to the arms, and he found that the skin was a sickly gray, with wrinkles and cracks on the surface, covered with various blisters and red spots, and black blood vessels underneath.
He wanted to speak, but his throat felt burning and painful.
He coughed suddenly.
A pool of black pus and blood spurted out of his mouth.
Neil felt as if all the strength in his body was being sucked away by an invisible hand, and he immediately fell to his knees.
With a clang.
The British Lion Sword fell.
The pain all over his body was so severe, but Neil could only open his mouth, his face distorted, and wail silently.
He raised his head with difficulty and looked at the old man on the throne. He was immediately shocked to find that the other person also had a hideous and painful expression, and his belly was bulging like a pregnant woman.
With a puff!
The old king's clothes and belly split open, revealing an oval black egg covered with blood vessels and wrinkled cuticle!
At this moment, Neil finally understood.
Montoya IV's body contains the means of a high-ranking member of the "Cult of Pain", and he is spreading mythical diseases continuously...
Perhaps from the moment he stepped into the palace, he entered a "closed container" filled with terrible plague!
"Sir Snake, I beg you to help..."
Neil sat on the ground with difficulty, his body festering and smelling bad, and he prayed in panic in his heart.
However, His Excellency Snake said in his usual calm tone:
"Go, eat her up."
“Eat…eat it?!”
Neil's consciousness gradually became blurred, and he asked in panic and confusion.
"Eat that egg... She is essentially the incarnation of a high-ranking person in the Plague Path. Eat her, it will be useful to me."
"The incarnation of the high-ranking one?!"
Neil was shocked by Lord Snake's words.
Fortunately, he knew he had no extra time to waste, so he gave up on investigating and thinking about it. He just gritted his teeth and struggled to the side of Montoya IV's throne, almost crawling.
The old man's eyes were wide open, his mouth was open, but his eyes were empty.
He is already dead.
But the vitality of the egg became more and more vigorous, as if it would give birth to some terrifying creature in the near future.
Neil climbed onto the throne with blood coming out of all his orifices and a hideous look on his face.
He opened his mouth with a strong will, and then bit down suddenly -
puff!
But the eggshell broke first, and a skinny and black arm suddenly stretched out from it, and the sharp five fingers grabbed Neil's neck.
Neil's breath hitched.
His bloodshot eyes bulged as he looked at the arm in horror.
"The holy fire cannot redeem the plague... You lowly bug dared to break the rules... Starting with you, all offenders will be tortured by the disease!"
A hoarse, low and indifferent sound came from the black egg.
However, just when Neil thought that he would be strangled to death in the next second.
He suddenly felt his vision go bright and white.
From the perspective of others, Neil's eyes were covered with a layer of pale crystals!
He was immediately shocked to find that he had begun to speak uncontrollably, but the voice was not his own, but... the distinctive magnetic voice of Mr. Snake:
"The Holy Fire cannot redeem the plague, but I can..."
"you?!"
A quick cry came from the black egg.
Neil heard clearly that the tone of the high-ranking person suddenly rose, as if he was frightened by something and instinctively made this strange questioning sound.
"Who are you?!"
"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is that you are delicious."
Neil continued to laugh softly in the voice of Lord Snake.
The skinny black arm that was pinching his neck trembled imperceptibly, suddenly let go, and then quickly shrank into the eggshell.
However, Neil was faster and grabbed the wrist with a snap.
"Eat her."
Chen Lun said again in Neil's heart.
The next second, Neil found that his body had regained its autonomy. After a lot of thoughts, he obediently obeyed the orders of Lord Snake, his face became fierce, and he opened his mouth and bit down.
Phew!
A scream came from the black egg.
Neil's teeth were covered with crystals, and he bit off a piece of flesh from the black arm!
His mouth was full of blood, but he chewed and swallowed the piece of meat whole.
In an invisible place inside the body, the crystals instantly corroded and devoured the piece of flesh.
Soon, Neil heard Lord Snake sigh with satisfaction.
After sighing, he urged:
"continue."
Neil was like a loyal servant, following the orders and gnawing on the withered black arm frantically!
The sounds of flesh tearing, bones breaking, and the screams of the strange high-ranking person were intertwined together, making people shudder!
"Demon! There's a demon hidden inside you?! Damn it! Damn it!
With such power and authority, how could it be possible... Ah!
”
An inexplicable scream of terror came from the black egg.
Soon, Neil swallowed the arm clean, even breaking the black egg, but only a pool of black pus was left inside.
This incarnation was eaten alive by him!
Neil was shocked and puzzled.
What was shocking was that Lord Snake could actually frighten this high-ranking member of the "Sect of Pain" so much.
What is puzzling is that the other party did not resist from beginning to end.
It was like an enemy being controlled by oneself using the commander ability, just waiting obediently to be eaten.
Neil guessed that this must be a terrible method used by Lord Snake!
After Chen Lun digested the power of this incarnation, he secretly complained, "It's so weak, not even enough to fill the gaps between my teeth..."
If he still had a physical body, he would probably be leaning on the sofa with a toothpick in his mouth, with a look of contempt and disdain on his face.
Using the harvesting power of "Homecoming", he devoured the opponent's strength, but it was barely enough for him to stretch his muscles... Of course, in order to avoid being discovered by the terrifying existence of the outer continent, he did not want to be completely exposed.
Just now, he only suppressed the opponent by power and crystal cells, making him unable to move. The one who actually attacked was Neil, the "local".
"Hmm... Actually, the biggest gain is the knowledge of the path in this guy's head."
Chen Lun thought.
He just took the opportunity to use "mind stealing" to steal the other party's knowledge.
All knowledge about the disease pathway from sequence nine to sequence three!
In addition to the patients, festering people, plague doctors, vaccinators and scourge doctors who were already under control.
Chen Lun paid special attention to the high-level knowledge.
The Pain of the Fourth Cave Hatching of the Saint-level sequence has a multiple incarnation ability similar to the Sun Path. It can parasitize the mythical plague as an "embryo" in the body of the "host", absorbing the flesh, blood, soul and even spirituality of its body and even the surrounding living things to give birth to a complete incarnation.
In addition, the sequence can summon large-scale plague parasites such as rats, mosquitoes, moths and various creatures of all sizes, and temporarily transform them into extraordinary species.
The third reverse-rebirth person in the demigod sequence, whose mythical plague ability was once again enhanced, also mastered the extremely terrifying "reverse-rebirth power".
It is able to decompose substances through "microscopic lesions" and transform them all into disease factors for its own use.
The most powerful point is that the anti-rebirth people have a strong ability to survive. They can use the epidemic spread outside to extract vitality from a distance to supply themselves.
'I remember that the third natural path sequence is the Creator, and this one is called the Anti-Creator... It seems that there is indeed some connection between these two paths?'
Chen Lun said secretly.
