Soul Trigger

Chapter 676 Melee
"Bordeaux, you bastard, you really are that Ludwig guy..."

Sika was about to activate her spiritual energy by opening the wine jug in her hand when Angelica stopped her with her raised arm:
"You've held back for so long, and now you're finally not admitting you're here to help?"

"I'm helping you now, give me the things."

"Was the dense fog at sea really your doing?"

"I only counted to three..."

"So, in the world of reflections, you did indeed intend to kill Pulitzer."

The Knights squad certainly needed an answer, but Bordeaux clearly had no intention of answering any questions. With a helpless laugh, he vanished from the spot in an instant.

"three!!!"

Black silver waterfall, spiritual energy surging wildly.

The jet-black mercury transformed into a massive wave of arrows that pierced straight into the crowd of Jensen.

The latter was also a hothead; with a roar, he transformed into a runic grizzly bear and advanced instead of retreating.

But as if the Knights had planned it all along, Andrew, clad in werewolf armor, shoved him backward with a single slap.

The crowd dispersed instantly, and Angelica blocked the Black Tide Arrow's path, her blood-red twirls a direct confrontation.

But the black and silver arrows split instantly, heading straight for her rear—

Pulitzer?!

Although Bordeaux is a dominant force, it would still be difficult for him to quickly eliminate the knight squad in front of him.

Suddenly, enormous crimson wings unfurled from her waist, and as her spiritual blood swirled and exploded, a surging shockwave disrupted the black and silver:
The situation is dire. Although we are prepared to face Bordeaux, there is still an unknown assassin lurking in the shadows.

The existence of clay puppeteers may have been overturned, but there is still one person behind the scenes who definitely exists.

Rushing in with Pulitzer was definitely too impulsive; we can't let Bordeaux trap us here...

As Angelica's thoughts raced, Bordeaux's figure appeared amidst the black and silver, countless black and silver threads swirling and churning like turbulent currents, bouncing and surging outside the blood-red curtain Angelica had opened, sweeping indiscriminately towards everyone.

The knight squad coordinated well and retreated one after another. Aquil staggered and pulled Ji Li backward with the sudden burst of energy, his elytra flapping wildly.

But something unusual happened on Jason's side. Faced with the burst of deadly spiritual energy and the pressure of the sovereign, the World Tree mark on his body suddenly emitted an astonishing blue light.

A series of overlapping dimensional anomalies appeared behind him; it was Old Green's office, the same one they had entered before!

Angelica's eyes flashed with a sharp light as she witnessed this scene:

Although she didn't know the specific mechanism, Angelica could tell that, as a descendant of the Grimm family, the World Tree Mark was trying to pull Jason away from danger—

She instantly projected a beam of blue light, which landed precisely in Jason's retreating hand—the World Tree Mark from the Gravekeeper.

"Everyone, follow Jason!"

Aiquier held Ji Li and hovered in mid-air:
"Not do anything to him?"

Ji Li:

"There are still Dead Apostles lurking. Rushing in will lead to a trap. Let's retreat!"

"Don't push me, Laurent!"

The black and silver waterfall roars with the fierce cry of Bordeaux.

It was too late; he absolutely couldn't let this golden opportunity slip away! A surge of spiritual energy erupted, and amidst the swirling black and silver, a white cross shot directly into Angelica's spiritual energy seal, unleashing an intense white light—

It is a white cross.

Angelica's spiritual energy instantly weakened, and Bordeaux's body surged with black and silver. He abandoned Angelica and rushed towards Jensen, intending to kill him directly from that dimensional fluctuation.

But in the instant he passed by, he felt something grab his legs. When he turned his head, he saw that scarlet spiritual blood was wrapped around him and mixed with his black mercury.

And there's Angelica, her body covered in red burns, yet her expression remains icy:
Surprised?

"you?!"

A crimson eruption sent Bordeaux flying backward, crashing into the wheat field with a deafening roar—

"That kid's blood erased your weakness? How is that possible?!"

"I sleep with my crucifix with me every night now, so get the hell away from me!"

Blood ignited into flames, transforming into a towering pillar of blood flame that erupted into the crater in Bordeaux. Angelica's power, which was infinitely close to that of a peak Dominator, was no longer concealed, and she unleashed it all to cover the retreat of everyone.

Amid Bordeaux's unwilling roar, the dimensional fluctuations grew increasingly turbulent, almost materializing in the wheat field, threatening to carry everyone away from the sacred site in the next moment. Andrew and Sika both showed a relieved expression.
"Damn... but the captain and Pulitzer?"

He turned his head with a smile, only to see Andrew's eyes, brimming with intense shock and spiritual energy, beneath his soul armor—

There's something behind us!
He turned around abruptly and saw the dimensional room in front of him shatter with a deafening roar. The blue light of the World Tree mark, which had been attacked, surged forth, and a flock of dark purple crows swept in like a storm.

Amidst the clattering of gears, a dark figure emerged from the dense raven feathers:
"A raven?!"

The cawing of crows swept across the field, and the Torture Armor that was originally guarding Jensen flew out like a cannonball, knocking Andrew away.

Sika roared and unleashed a torrent of ethanol essence, but a burst of cold light erupted, and the black, gleaming Other Shore Blade intertwined with a surging net of swords tore it all to shreds.

He felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, from a cane. The next moment, the world rushed backward in his eyes, revealing a dim yellow sky and darkness buried in soil, with dust, wheat chaff, and pulverized mud rising into the air.

The cascading waterfall revealed the figure of Sir John Death, along with Jason, whom he was carrying in his hand.

"you……!?"

Faced with the scene before him, Aigui's pupils shrank, and he grabbed Ji Li and retreated frantically.

She had thought about what would happen if one day the Knights Squad truly faced this mysterious figure who called himself "Odin," but she never expected that day to come so soon.

She couldn't fight back against this guy, and she didn't know how to fight back. All she knew was that she had to pull Pulitzer away from him!
The two combatants were also shocked by the sudden change. With the burst of black and red spiritual energy, they stood separately, and the three of them floated in mid-air in a diagonal formation.

Angelica and Bordeaux, in particular, were accumulating spiritual energy, their expressions becoming solemn and dignified.
"Raven... so you're also after Odin's treasure?"

Bordeaux remained silent, his heart sinking to rock bottom.

Even though it was an emergency, this guy still managed to come...

Sir Death seemed to completely ignore the two, slowly opening his palm to glance at the World Tree mark, then snatched the other one from the neck of the gritting-teeth Jensen, casually tossing it aside.
“Give me the mark from that black mud over there.”

silence.

Then, the red and black figures, as if by unspoken agreement, charged straight towards the Death Knight.

Let's cooperate first, then settle accounts.
