We agreed to set sail, so you'd become the ruler of the deep sea?

Chapter 105 The Death of Quinn! (Two Chapters Combined)

laugh--

After the steam gradually dissipated.

A brand-new suit of armor, predominantly platinum in color and constructed entirely of steel, alloys, and gears, stood tall under the crimson moonlight.

Unlike before, its chest, arm guards, limbs and other parts are engraved with ominous blood-red patterns.

Around each blood-red line, numerous deep, dark branches spread out.

The previous "sacred" and "pure" qualities have vanished, replaced by an air of mystery and profundity.

That's right, this is exactly the winning strategy that Shane came up with.

At that time, the question he asked Karlless was about some of the characteristics of the armor.

After learning that the armor could induce a brief period of dormancy, could be worn by those who followed the secret path, and could produce an effect greater than the sum of its parts, Shane came up with this plan.

Firstly, it would allow them to bypass the restrictions of the [Exile Mark], enabling Shane to use [Deep Sea Dive] to bring Karlless back to the Blood Moon Secret Realm ahead of schedule.

Secondly, after donning the armor, they also gained the combat power to contend with two third-tier powerhouses!

“Carles…”

"And what about those blood-red patterns?"

Quinn's expression changed slightly upon seeing this somewhat different [Platinum Knight].

But with a slight sense of it, he recognized a familiar scent from the blood-red patterns on the armor and sneered.

"So it was Winston's Blood Curse. No wonder you lent your power to this kid!"

"You probably don't even have half of your original strength anymore, do you?"

"You think you can defeat me just by adding the power of the Faceless Shadow? How naive!"

Quinn waved his hand, and countless blood-red threads appeared under the moonlight, transforming into a vast net that blotted out the sky and suddenly closed in on Shane!

"You're the naive one."

The moment the words left his mouth, the steam pipes behind Shane suddenly erupted, providing a powerful boost that propelled him to unprecedented speeds.

A blood-red demonic sword appeared in his hand, and he slashed straight forward!
The blood-soaked net couldn't stop the sword's edge at all; it was cleaved in two.

At the same time, accompanied by a scorching wave of air, the platinum-gold figure arrived in front of Quinn!
boom!
High-temperature, high-pressure steam poured out from Shane's right arm, cleansing Quinn's entire body.

Even if it loses its original sacred properties, this steam still has the power to kill living things.

Moreover, another subtle and mysterious power, difficult to detect, is also quietly hidden within it.

Quinn's face was grim, and with a flick of his body, he instantly appeared above Shane.

The steam only left some burn marks on his body and did not cause any serious injury.

Xia En smiled.

【"Profound Imprint": 1】

The hunt has begun, but the prey is completely unaware.

Without pausing for a moment, Xia En gently waved to Fei Ya beside him.

The steam core that was sent out emitted a joyful roar and flew into his body on its own.

Click... click...

With a series of frictions and meshing of gears and levers, the core was transformed back into part of the platinum armor.

Xia En suddenly felt as if his body had been restored, and an increasingly powerful force flowed through his body, subtly resonating with his soul.

The entire armor emitted a faint platinum glow, and its aura rose even higher.

At this moment, Xia En truly reached his peak!
"protect yourself."

After leaving those words to Feiya, Xia En stood firmly on the ground, using steam as wings, and soared straight into the sky like a streak of platinum light!

But that's it.

Another blood-red shadow swept in, its massive crimson scythe drawing a crescent-shaped arc of blood-red light in mid-air.

"Hahaha, Shadowless One, let me see if you are truly immortal!"

At the same time, Blood Scythe's ear-piercing laughter rang out.

clang--

The scythe and the demonic sword collided, causing the air to vibrate and hum.

In an instant, both weapons seemed to emit sharp, piercing cries, as if they wanted to devour and absorb each other!
Just as the two were locked in a struggle, Quinn quietly emerged from the moonlight behind Shane, his hand piercing Shane's back like a venomous snake.

laugh!
Steam suddenly erupted from behind the armor, forcing Quinn to teleport away again.

At the same time, Xia En exerted all his strength and used his sword to shake off the blood scythe in front of him.

His goggles glowed red as he sneered coldly, "Quinn, is sneak attacking all you know?"

"As long as we can win, it doesn't matter what means we use."

"Only those who survive to the end are the winners!"

A cold glint flashed in Quinn's eyes, and he once again joined forces with Bloodscythe to attack from both sides.

Facing two third-tier Mystic Path practitioners at the same time, Xia En's pressure suddenly increased dramatically.

However, although the situation on the field appears to be two against one, it is actually two against two!

The area illuminated by the blood moon is the home ground of the vampires.

That eerie teleportation ability was achieved using moonlight.

Inside the damp, scorching armor, Karlless's hoarse voice rang in Shane's ears.

I can temporarily activate a steam field to shield myself from the effects of the blood moon.

"Steam field?"

Xia En was slightly surprised.

In his mind, the concept of a "domain" was an ability that only higher-level practitioners of secret paths could master.

[It's merely a clumsy imitation of the "domain," but it does possess some extraordinary characteristics.]

However, if they cannot be eliminated within the duration of the steam field, the steam core will enter a temporary state of exhaustion.

Carles asked, "Have you decided to go ahead?"

Xia En's lips curled up slightly: "Of course!"

【As you wish, my temporary master.】

clang!clang!clang!
The next moment, three powerful bell tolls resounded throughout the entire steam armor.

Inside the armor, five heart-like steam cores roared and hissed, urging all the parts to operate at maximum efficiency.

They were singing, praying, and roaring, calling upon the god of steam and steel for extraordinary power.

boom--

A white cloud of steam swept in like a tsunami, enveloping Shane, Blood Scythe, and Quinn...

……

……

In the city below.

Phia was using her steam magic to try and save Randy beside her.

Such a near-throat wound should have been fatal on the spot, but perhaps he was destined to survive, and he still had a breath left!
Under the influence of steam magic and potions, the blood vessels on Randy's neck slowly healed, and his vital signs stabilized.

Seeing this, Fei Ya breathed a sigh of relief.

But his expression remained solemn, and he couldn't help but look up at the white steam rising high above.

Not only Fei Ya, but also Loren, who lay panting in the ruins, Duran, covered in wounds, and Elisa, whose face was deathly pale and almost bloodless...

Even the many powerful vampires in the city were staring intently in that direction.

Everyone knew that the outcome of this battle would determine their lives!
From the white steam, terrifying roars and howls like those of wild beasts could be heard continuously.

The surging steam, the dark red sword light, and the shadowy figures... all easily destroyed the taller buildings.

In the aftershocks, surrounding houses collapsed one after another, crashing to the ground with a deafening roar after shaking.

Smoke and dust billowed up, and the earth shook violently.

Furthermore, it affected almost the entire city.

What shocked everyone even more was that the collisions in the steam became increasingly rapid.

Under the dissipated, violent secret power, the seemingly distant night sky appeared to have cracks spreading out!
"Is the sky cracking open?"

Loren muttered blankly to himself, "This power..."

Duran's face was filled with disbelief as he thought to himself, "The usually arrogant Lord Karlless would actually allow a faceless shadow to enter his body?"

"Moreover, this strength seems to be even greater than his former self!"

In his memory, the Platinum Knight had never had a pilot, but now, it was displaying even greater combat power in the hands of the Faceless Shadow?
With a loud popping sound in the air.

Suddenly, two overlapping figures appeared in the steam and plummeted downwards!
Feiya's pupils contracted slightly.

He saw the iron fist of the platinum armor land on the pale-faced Quinn, carrying an unstoppable force, and smashing towards the ground like a meteorite!

The two landed at a dark castle called "Red and Black".

boom! ! !
A thunderous roar suddenly erupted from the top of the ancient castle.

The solid wall offered no resistance to their descent.

The stones, floor, and vampires below were forcibly pierced and shattered, and a large hole was torn open in the ceiling layer by layer until it fell to the ground at the bottom!
As the impact spread, the structure of the entire castle began to destabilize, and countless spiderweb-like cracks appeared on its surface.

Then, it gradually collapsed and caved in.

Meanwhile, the Crimson Ancient Tree, which had been imprisoned in the castle, was able to spread its lush canopy.

It's like breaking free of a cage and shackles!
It appears before everyone in a magnificent and majestic manner!

"That tree is..."

Looking at the deep red leaves and the towering tree trunk, everyone was somewhat dazed and lost in thought.

But at this moment, what they cared more about was the outcome of the fight between the two people under the tree.

All that could be seen was a large crater in the center of the ruins.

Suddenly, white flames ignited in the steam on Shane's arm and quickly coiled and spread across his right fist.

Transform into a fist of raging flames!
"This is?"

Shaen could only barely recognize that this was some kind of transformation of the steam armor.

But now is clearly not the time to ponder this question.

Without hesitation, he channeled all his strength and slammed it hard into Quinn's face!

"No!"

Quinn looked horrified; he sensed a strong sense of danger emanating from the fist of fire.

If he gets hit, he... will die!
Quinn's veins bulged, a resolute glint flashed in his eyes, and he let out a sharp whistle.

"...Blood Scythe!"

The next moment, the person below Xia En suddenly transformed into Blood Scythe, who still looked somewhat bewildered.

"……grown ups?"

boom!
A pure white, fiery fist landed on Blood Scythe's face.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

Then, amidst an exceptionally shrill scream, the body of this third-tier Mystic was engulfed in flames and turned into a pale cloud of dust.

However, at the same time, Xia En's aura visibly weakened, and the steam cores on his body fell into a dormant state.

"Hahahaha..."

Soon, Quinn's laughter came from above.

His body was covered in wounds, his face was contorted and grotesque, and he was weak and listless, but his tone was filled with intense pride.

"Blood Scythe, your death was worthwhile."

"I'm the one who survives to the end!"

"Shadowless, without Karlless's help, you are nothing but a fish on a chopping board."

Upon witnessing this scene, the survivors nearby felt their spirits plummet.

They could all see that Quinn had used some kind of secret technique to make Bloodscythe take the final blow from [Shadowless] in his place.

At this moment, [Shadow Without a Face] seemed to have lost all its fighting strength.

Quinn's injuries, however, healed rapidly under the blood moon.

Suddenly, a roaring sound rang out behind Quinn.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, Phia, wielding the Titan's Grip, fearlessly fired at Quinn.

Such an attack naturally couldn't cause Quinn any harm, but it made his expression even more gloomy and twisted.

"Why...why won't you just submit to your fate and become a greater being?"

"Why do you insist on defying my will time and time again, and embarking on the path of self-destruction?"

To this, Fei Ya simply said without changing her expression, "I've already explained the reason many times."

"I will choose my own path!"

boom!
Another cannon shot rang out.

Quinn slightly shifted his body, casually dodging the steam gun attack, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes: "Unrepentant? In that case, I'll send you and them to your deaths!"

But just then, Shane's voice came from the steam armor.

"It's time, Viper Quinn, you should be on your way."

Upon hearing this, Quinn sneered, "Still bluffing? What can you possibly do now..."

Before he could finish speaking, his expression suddenly changed.

In his perception, translucent, deep tentacles emerged from every corner.

They whispered and murmured, making no attempt to conceal their malice.

Chaotic auditory hallucinations echoed in Quinn's ears, and restless illusions piled up before his eyes.

He attempted to resist and struggle.

However, there were simply too many tentacles around, and in an instant, they engulfed Quinn's body like a tidal wave.

Sharp teeth tore through his body, sucking his blood and gnawing at his flesh.

Pain travels from every part of the skin to the brain, while the suffocating feeling from the binding and squeezing comes from the throat...

In the last moment before consciousness fades.

Quinn looked toward the source of those tentacles.

A deep, dark figure stood amidst a cluster of thousands of tentacles, calmly observing itself.

He asked, filled with fear and despair, "What...what are you...?"

["Deep Imprint": 1164 (Summoned)]

"You died a worthy death, having helped me verify the power of this move."

Shaun looked at the fallen Quinn and sighed inwardly.

Everyone stared blankly and bewildered at the scene, completely unaware of what had happened.

In their eyes, there were actually no deep, mysterious tentacles at all.

Some, however, would suddenly let out a shrill wail, their skin torn open and blood flowing freely, and ultimately strangle themselves to death – "Viper" Quinn!
However, before people could breathe a sigh of relief, another strange event occurred.

The blood moon hanging high in the night sky suddenly opened its eyes!
That was... the gaze of the Crimson Lord!

Thank you "Moon Dance Star Mark" for the 500-coin reward! Thank you so much!

I'm taking a break today to finish this volume and work on the outline for the new one! (Bang bang bang!)
