As soon as the Human Emperor Banner came out, I became the Lord of the Old Ones

Chapter 105: Unsolvable Dilemma

"Don't worry, I have no ill will towards you, otherwise I would have had a hundred opportunities to kill you quietly."

The voice in the darkness said, "Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor. My ultimate target is the Black Dream Organization, not you.

"I want to join forces with the Security Bureau to deal with the Black Dream Organization, but I don't want to be directly exposed to the Security Bureau's vision. Therefore, I am looking for a middleman, and you are the best choice.

"Through this middleman, I can obtain intelligence and resources from the Security Bureau. Of course, I am willing to cooperate with the Security Bureau in carrying out its missions. It's a fair deal, and we both get what we need.

"If you have the merit of 'eliminating the Swamp Gang' and are the only one who can help the Security Bureau contact the Gravedigger, the Security Bureau will certainly do its best to provide you with shelter.

"It's not a perfect solution, but you're at the end of your rope and you have no choice.

“If you agree, kill the festering Quick now, and we’ll discuss how we can cooperate.

"Otherwise, I will have no choice but to leave quietly and look for a new middleman, while you stay here and wait to die with the festering Quick!

"Oh, I forgot to tell you that the patrols have surrounded this place. The series of explosions just now were so loud that even a deaf person on the ground could have heard them clearly. And you wasted too much time on the Dread Chariot, and it's already impossible to escape!"

The sound faded away in the darkness.

No matter how furious the big boss and the leader of the Swamp Gang were, there was always silence in the depths of the smoke-filled ruins.

Only the two men's men, despite losing too much blood, still had to confront each other tensely, and the sound of their teeth colliding made a "crackling" sound.

The two gradually fell silent.

Subtle malice spread among each other like deadly poison.

"Qui, Quick, don't worry, I will never believe this kid's nonsense."

The big boss swallowed hard, forcing a smile through his twitching face. "There's no need to be so nervous."

"Of course, I'm not nervous at all."

The festering Quick stroked his seal card with his only remaining right hand. Pustules appeared under the rotten knight armor behind him, bursting like a volcano, spewing out pungent acid.

"But who is this 'gravedigger'? Why do you seem to have known him for a long time?"

He stares down the big boss along with the acid-soaked Decay Knight.

The big boss rolled his eyes and then shook his head heavily.

"No, I don't know any 'gravedigger' at all. I have no idea what he's talking about!"

The big boss opened his arms and tried to calm the other party. "They're clearly trying to sow discord and hope we'll kill each other. To avoid misunderstandings, shouldn't we put away our weapons and guardian spirits first?"

"Makes sense."

The festering Quick tilted his head, not knowing whether he was considering the boss's proposal or listening carefully to the movements on the ground. "On the count of three, we will simultaneously take back the guardian spirits, how about that?"

"No problem, one..."

The big boss drawled out his tone.

"two……"

The festering Quick signaled with his eyes to the half-dead remnants of the Swamp Gang.

Don't wait for both of them to count to three at the same time.

The last four emergency lights went out simultaneously.

In the suffocating darkness, the big boss and the leader of the swamp gang attacked at the same time.

Both of them are suspicious and selfish by nature.

Xu Yan's conspiracy put them in an unsolvable prisoner's dilemma.

The corrupt Quick lacks key intelligence and even more so the trust of the big boss. He has no idea whether the big boss will use his head as a stepping stone to redeem himself and surrender to the Security Bureau.

Even if the big boss really didn't want to surrender to the Security Bureau, he couldn't convince the leader of the Swamp Gang of his sincerity.

What's more, after thinking carefully about the gravedigger's words, it was indeed the only solution that had a chance of escaping death. He couldn't help but reveal a hint of excitement in the depths of his eyes.

In the moment of life and death, the two had no choice.

The big boss slammed his palms together, and the magma giant behind him suddenly split apart, and then condensed into a huge palm in front of him, smashing down on the festering Quick.

The giant hand with flowing magma was just a cover-up. What was truly fatal was an I-beam as thick as a bowl that had just collapsed from the ceiling and was stuck between his giant fingers.

The corrupt knight behind the leader of the Swamp Gang transformed into a reptile similar to a swamp monster, with its entire spine protruding like a poisonous snake or a javelin, stabbing towards the big boss's face.

At the critical moment of life and death, the two men no longer held back, and used the core skills of their respective guardian spirits.

The men on both sides either lost their minds due to the severe pain, or were still immersed in the nightmare illusion created by the "Abyss Demon Lizard".

Hearing the sound of the explosion tearing through the air, they reacted instinctively and launched the final and most fatal attack at the target they had already locked onto before falling into darkness.

For a moment, the darkness was torn apart by the fierce flames.

The interlaced red, orange, red and green flames reflected the painfully twisted faces and the shattered bodies.

Like fireworks that shine to the extreme in an instant, after a moment of noise, they fall into eternal silence.

He realized that the power he had painstakingly built up over the years had collapsed in an instant.

The big boss and the leader of the Swamp Gang both groaned in frustration.

The former's left face was completely eaten away by acid.

Not only had the skin and flesh on his cheeks and lips peeled away, revealing his teeth and jawbone, which had been corroded into a honeycomb pattern. Even his left eye had disappeared, leaving only a dark hole.

But the acid wouldn't let him go. It was like a living insect, moving forward along the optic nerve towards the brain, causing the boss to twitch in pain.

The latter was nailed to the ground by an I-beam.

The giant hand of magma instantly burned the I-beam into orange-red at a temperature of thousands of degrees.

It was like a huge branding iron, burning the little flesh and blood left of the Swamp Gang leader, causing it to squeak and hiss.

Even though he has the dual vitality brought by the swamp spirit and the strange prosthetic limbs.

Still no match for the raging flames erupting from within.

Dazzling sparks and scarlet blood mist spurted out from the joints of his hands and feet and even deep in his throat.

The severe pain and despair made the two murderers completely lose their minds.

They were like evil spirits about to fall into hell, and their only thought was to escape from the gates of hell by stepping on each other's heads.

However, just as the big boss was trying to tear the flesh off his left cheek in pain to get rid of the acid that was constantly corroding him.

The leader of the Swamp Gang forcibly pulled out the burning I-beam from his chest, and at the same time pulled out a large amount of organs that were a fusion of flesh, blood and machinery, and barely regained his freedom.

The two seriously injured and dying villains heard an extremely shrill scream filled with great fear at the same time.

The source of the screams turned out to be the "Chariot of Terror" that fed on fear and had just brought endless nightmares to all the gangsters and vicious people!
"This, this is-"

The two evil men felt their scalps tingling and their hearts seemed to be pinched by invisible devil's claws.

Turning their horrified eyes towards the wreckage of the Chariot of Terror, they saw an incredible scene.

On the wreckage of the unmanned mining machine, the remaining soul of the "Abyss Demon Lizard" had been blasted into pieces by them, and it should have been shattered and annihilated into nothingness in the near future.

But at this moment it condensed again and turned into a shadow visible to the naked eye.

However, it was not the power of the Abyss Lizard itself that caused it to reappear.

It was trembling and spinning around, without any of the ferocity, brutality, and secretiveness that an abyss monster should have.

As if suffering a backlash from fear, all the creatures it preyed on turned into a myriad of resentments, extending tentacles from the bottom of the abyss, grabbing its six limbs, penetrating into its body, and entangled every blood vessel and nerve of its.

The first to be affected is Director Monk’s resentment.

The painful obsession of this senior researcher who had just died tragically seemed to be controlled by an invisible force, turning into black lightning visible to the naked eye and piercing deep into the wreckage of the killing machine.

The "Abyss Lizard" struggled desperately like a gecko nailed to a chopping board with thumbtacks.

No matter how hard he struggled, he could not escape the huge hand that gradually emerged from the darkness, with runes swirling, black mist surging, and blood flames gushing out.

The blood flames were like a tide, instantly enveloping the "Abyss Demon Lizard".

The ancient evil spirit from the First Age let out a shrill scream as it was burned by the raging flames.

The screams aroused Big Hand's appetite.

The blood flame was like a snake, wriggling faster and faster, gnawing away all of its skin, flesh, and bones.

In an instant, the "Abyss Demon Lizard" was completely refined and transformed into the purest Hongmeng purple energy in the depths of darkness.

Deep in the prison, there was once again a grave-like silence.

The extremely weird scene made the big boss and the festering Quick forget to kill each other.

The two fierce men looked at each other and saw the fear surging in each other's eyes.

When an unfulfilled sigh and the harsh metallic sound of armor rubbing against each other sounded from the depths of the darkness, the fear in the eyes of the two men turned into despair, so strong that it seemed to pierce their souls.

Swish!Swish!
The two emergency lights flashed again like the eyes of a zombie.

What bloomed was a deep red light that symbolized something ominous.

The red light like blood mist outlined the outline of a set of black armor.

What a terrifying armor this is!

As if born from the gasps of the abyss, forged from evil spirits that have struggled in the furnace of purgatory for ten thousand years, each armor leaf is soaked in endless resentment and rage for revenge, tearing apart the gorgeous runes and converging into intertwined curses.

The shoulder armor is as rugged as the remains of an ancient dragon, and the breastplate is inlaid with a relief of a ferocious beast with bared fangs and claws. As the black mist surges from deep within the armor, it rises and falls mysteriously as if it has life.

Click!Click!
Chi! Chi!
When this black armor seemed to crawl out of purgatory and descended to the human world, every piece of armor on its body let out an impatient roar.

The nearly three-meter-long two-handed giant sword, with its serrated tip that had just condensed, rubbed the ground, producing a series of sparks and lightning.

"...Black Swordsman?"

The big boss and the Swamp Gang leader groaned in pain at the same time.

As the main force of the Undead Guardian Spirits, the "Black Swordsman", upgraded from the "Night Remnant", has gotten rid of the former's defects of being too clumsy and fragile. It has powerful skills from "Brutal Slash" to "Consecutive Brutal Slash", and is an existence that proudly stands at the top of the bronze level.

For the two of them who were seriously injured, whose silver spirits were shattered into pieces and whose strength had fallen to the bottom, they were quite a difficult enemy.

not to mention--

"Its spiritual pressure is still increasing, far exceeding the limits of the Night Swordsman!

"It's actually devouring the 'Dread Chariot'. What on earth is it?"
