Soul Trigger

Chapter 677 The real murderer
Angelica and Bordeaux understand each other, but they must work together to defeat the powerful "Raven"!

"Blood moon!"

"The Undying Fluid!"

Where are this guy's Command Seals? Still hiding his true abilities?!
Angelica's mind raced, and she remembered the detail, her heart sinking.

The blood-red full moon leaped into the sky, Angelica and the Dead Water Knight's speed increased dramatically, and the other squad members who had been knocked away also trembled all over, and as if injected with chicken blood, they got up from the ground, a blood-red glint appearing in their eyes.

Ji Li and Ai Guier should be the same.

The latter gritted his teeth, unable to hesitate any longer, and could only rush out.

Ji Li's eyes flashed as he followed behind.

But the flock of crows instantly obscured them—

[A Weeping Decree!]

A deep despair filled Aquile's eyes beneath her visor; all she could see was the destruction of Red Maple Town and the complete annihilation of Aunt Duke and Pulitzer.

Suddenly, it let out a piercing shriek and tumbled to the ground with Ji Li, where it was buried by the flock of crows.

As Sika downed a shot of strong liquor, he spat it into the sky, and as dark clouds gathered, a rain of ethanol poured down.

Sir John Death felt a sudden dizziness and disorientation.

The black sphere of mercury had completely enveloped him, and crimson flames rose from beneath his feet, reaching towards the sky.

But the crows tore apart all spiritual energy, and a huge black scythe ripped through the sky, cleaving the charging Dead Water Knight and the sky in two and scattering them apart.

The liberated Sir Deathslayer had already appeared beside the shattered sphere of mercury, raising his hand to unleash a curse at Angelica.

A burly, armored werewolf pounced on him, pinning him to the ground. Amidst the howling of the wolf, his claws lashed out repeatedly, but he was then knocked away by a nightmare horse's headbutt.

Three meteor-like purple darts struck him in succession, and his werewolf armor shattered instantly, transforming into Andrew's human form as he rolled to the ground.

"Andrew!!"

Seeing this, Sika bit her tongue, and the rain of ethanol in the sky turned blood red.

It was as if some extremely energy-consuming technique had instantly drained the well of his soul. He swayed and almost fell to the ground, but was helped up by someone.

The moment she looked up, before she could even utter a "thank you," she saw Sir Death's visor appear before her eyes, her expression freezing instantly. Then she saw the world rushing past her again, and beneath the exploding armor fragments, Angelica's winged figure:
"Well done, Jessica!!!"

The massive scythe withstood Angelica's claws, and when Ji Li looked down, the World Tree mark on his hand had vanished.

He cleaved Angelica's bursting flames in two with a scythe, sending her flying as well. He then turned and mounted the charging Nightmare Horse, passing by Sika, who was still struggling to get up, like a shooting star.

The massive scythe mercilessly pierced his fan ribs, suspending him in mid-air, only to reveal him laughing maniacally while spitting blood:

"Idiot, he's not here!!!"

Sir John Doe suddenly turned around and saw the werewolf Andrew.

He got up covered in blood and threw the mark in his hand at the torture armor.

The soaring black and silver energy completely severed the mark, unleashing a tsunami of black mercury that crashed to the ground, transforming into various grotesque shapes that surged towards everyone present, dragging them into a chaotic melee.

Bordeaux!?

"Don't blame me."

Upon hearing Andrew's exclamation, Bordeaux burst into laughter, grabbed the three World Tree Marks in his hand, and rushed into the wheat field.

At the end of his path lay that suspended, azure phantom, along with an endless storm of crows and Angelica—

The situation changed again, with Angelica and Sir John Deadham swarming forward and trapping Bordeaux in mid-air.

The blood flames evaporated the mercury-filled tsunami.

The scythe tore his body apart, transforming into a web of blades that cut him to molecular level at a speed almost impossible for a giant weapon.

But Sir Death knew that this guy's immortality was especially powerful:
[A Weeping Decree!]

Bordeaux, struggling to regain his composure, felt a jolt in his mind and found himself in a theater filled with Ludwig family nobles.

He was shirtless, short in stature, as if he had returned to his childhood, and the cages on the stage were full of little boys like himself—

"Do not!!!!"

He let out a terrified scream, and a flash of golden light shattered the despair in his mind and illuminated his body.

In the eyes of Sir Dead and Angelica, the sky full of black and silver turned golden, creating a strong resonance the moment it collided with her claws and the huge scythe.

The nightmare horse that had set off on its journey, Sir Death, broke its leg and let out a mournful cry.

Angelica's claws shattered, and countless cracks appeared on her vampire armor as she was sent flying backward.

"You forced me to do this!!!"

The black silver on the ground all turned into gold, and incredibly hard golden monsters covered the entire earth.

The Dead Water Knight, having revealed all his cards, shot straight into the azure curtain like a golden meteor.

Amidst the radiant golden light, a four-legged black beast with a head like a flying squirrel and wings on its sides emerged from the blood.

It swiftly caught Angelica and soared into the sky, her sworn companion as a knight.

Ignoring her cracked skin and even Bordeaux, she glanced at Sica with a flickering look, then suddenly froze:
"Damn..."

Sika was spitting blood, seemingly unable to withstand the blood rain from the sky any longer, and her eyes rolled back as she collapsed to the ground.

Bordeaux, who was holding three World Tree Marks and roaring as he charged toward the Azure Curtain, suddenly froze.

He looked at the smoke rising from his hand, and the three World Tree imprints seemed to distort like bubbles before they all disappeared!

Is it an illusion created by the blood rain?!
I was scammed too?!

Shocked, he turned around and saw Angelica riding a bat-like beast towards the end of the wheat field, her hand radiating blue light—the World Tree Mark that originally belonged to him, which had been unconsciously taken away during the earlier conflict.

The other two World Tree Marks never came into his possession either.

Because from the very beginning, the two marks he stole were illusions.

The real mark should be in...

Ji Li's running figure came into his view.

"Damn it...damn it! When did this happen?!" He roared as he charged toward Angelica, trying to seize the mark from her hand while he was still in the air.

Angelica flicked her finger, and a blood-red light mixed with blue shot into the sky on the other side.

It was Aquile who, for some unknown reason, recovered from despair and soared into the sky.

She caught it and flew away into the distance.

Damn bastard, are you putting on a monkey show?!

With rage rising in his eyes, Bordeaux abandoned Aquile and charged straight at Ji Li.

Because if Pulitzer were in danger, Equal, as his sister, could not possibly stand idly by.

But Pulitzer seemed to have anticipated this, as he stuffed the two World Tree Marks in his hand into his mouth and spat a bubble at Aquile.

Bordeaux seemed to have anticipated this, raising a shower of gold in an attempt to stop it, while simultaneously rushing toward the shooting bubbles.

It was about to be grasped in my hand at an incredibly fast speed.

But Aquile's fiery red javelin was faster, soaring over the layers of gold and striking the bubble at an extremely tricky angle—

"Damn it, you damn little bitch!!!"

Bordeaux was completely enraged, and a golden horse leaped out, but Angelica eventually caught up with it.

Blood splattered everywhere, gold exploded, and the two were caught in a fierce battle between cavalry high in the sky.

The water bubble that had been knocked away and the javelin returned to Ji Li's hands together.

He held the two World Tree imprints in his hand, then plucked another one from the javelin—

Aquile had tied the javelin to it and shot it at him.

Previously, whether it was Angelica's "Sika" or the two World Tree Marks that Andrew threw out, they were all just illusions caused by Sika's blood rain.

Andrew threw the two World Tree Imprints directly at Ji Li and Ai Guier, who were furthest from the battlefield.

Because he discovered that Aquile had awakened from the curse cast by the raven—

It was all just an act; how could Ji Li possibly hit his sister?
Therefore, Ji Li, who obtained the two World Tree imprints, took the opportunity to manipulate Sir Death to cooperate with Angelica's plan.

In the end, all three World Tree Marks came into my possession.

He glanced in Sika's direction; the guy was completely unconscious in the wheat field.

Spiritual ethanol is indeed an ability with amazing potential.

If he can achieve immortality in the future, he might have a lot of trouble facing this kid.

"Pulitzer, let's go!!!"

Angelica's voice rang out from the midst of the aerial battle, for while the two were locked in combat, Sir Deathscream had already charged toward Ji Li, passing directly over Andrew and Aquile, who were trying to stop him.

Angelica was eager to leave, and Ji Li knew what she was worried about. This was also what Ji Li was worried about—

The deadbeats hiding behind the scenes.

He used the Death Knight to completely drag everyone into the chaos and force them to stay there, also to lure out that guy.

However, the difference is that Ji Li wanted to lure the person out directly, while Angelica thought that they couldn't continue and had to retreat and plan for the long term to prevent others from taking advantage of them.

But the other party hasn't shown up yet. Is it because they can't enter Odin's Holy Land, or are they just waiting at the door for us to come out and then take advantage of us?
No, it probably couldn't have guessed Angelica's strategy; it was likely waiting for some kind of opportunity...

The logical framework of the deduction appeared densely before his eyes, and the Death Knight behind him was getting closer and closer under his control.

If it still doesn't appear, then let Sir Deathbringer take the mark and charge towards that curtain; I don't believe he can hold back any longer...

But if it really does follow us into this space, where will it hide? Is it a Dead Apostle with spatial abilities?
Just as Ji Li was lost in thought, his inner trigger suddenly snapped—

They're here?!
But where?

Ji Li and Sir Death's perception expanded to its limit, but neither of them detected anything extra.

Just as the logical framework surged before his eyes and his senses frantically searched, the Death Knight, whom he was controlling, had already caught up with him.

At the same time, a figure appeared before him, time seemed to stand still, and Ji Li's pupils suddenly contracted—

Armor of torture.

It stumbled and swayed as it rose from the wheat field, seemingly forgotten by everyone.

"The Torture Armor!? Stop him!!!"

With Andrew's excited roar, it raised its fist—

A violent burst of spiritual energy erupted, the sky suddenly changed color, the blood moon shattered instantly, and dusk returned to the earth, but was completely enveloped by a point of extreme red light.

Everyone's expression changed instantly, and even Sika opened her eyes abruptly at the deadly warning of the Soul Trigger, looking at the blinding light.

Ji Li's body was instantly pierced, and the Death Knight behind him was directly pulverized and completely annihilated.

You're quite good at hiding things.

Ji Li narrowed his eyes, released the three marks in his hand, and let them fall into the other party's hands.

"Do not!!!!"

Aquil screamed in agony, transforming into a fiery red streak of light as she rushed toward the deepest part of the light, only to be grabbed and pulled aside by Angelica who rushed up to her.

puff!
The fist of the Torture Armor was pulled out of Ji Li's chest, and it disappeared from the spot while holding three World Tree Marks. It reappeared in mid-air, no longer wobbling like a puppet.

With a twist of its wrist, its armor shattered instantly, revealing a figure with long, blood-red hair in mid-air.

She wore a black eye patch, and pulled several spiritual threads from the ground, drawing out several figures that all exuded the aura of Dead Apostles.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Bloodsilver Knight. Did I arrive just in time?"

The hoarse voice that came from her mouth made Angelica's heart sink to the bottom.

She released Aiquier from her grasp, letting it rush towards Ji Li's "corpse," and uttered words:
"Red Hunter, Sheepdog..."

The Immortal.
