Wizard: Surviving in the Steam Age with Points for Demon Hunter

Chapter 80 Huh? It went off the rails...

"Brother Elno, if you don't come soon, we're all going to die!!"

Ok?

Upon hearing this voice, the four people who were engaged in fierce combat behind them couldn't help but look over.

Upon seeing the hundreds of meters of corpses stretching across the ground, and the standoff between Wei En and the others at the end, both captain-level superhumans were filled with rage.

Erno tried to go over, but was blocked by the raging tornado that Marco had conjured. Enraged, he shouted, "Kill him, Tiki!"

"Damn it, I'm going to kill you!!"

As for Tiki, who was fighting Lacey, he didn't need to say much. Upon seeing the corpses, he disregarded everything and broke away from the battle. His tentacles, which were flying all over his body, slammed into the ground and charged towards Wayne.

Lacey also noticed Wayne's results, "He's surprisingly capable... but I can't let you hurt any of my men."

"Keys, Tefano, Vickers." (Signs - Duel Cage)

A jet-black chain spiraled out of her hand, its end forming a bone claw that gleamed with metallic luster, tightly gripping the handle of her two-handed axe.

Lacey then forcefully flung her double-handed axe, sending it flying past Tiki in an instant. The axe blades caused the chains to snap back, trapping the two of them together.

"Ticky, only one person will walk out of this cage alive today."

"You're asking for it!"

Tiki was blocked in her way, and her whole body trembled with anger. Her stiff head turned 180 degrees, and dozens of pus-draining eyes stared at her.

"Oh, come on then."

Lacey's lips curled up, and her fists clashed together with a "clanging" sound. She had somehow gotten a pair of dark blue metal gauntlets on her hands, with a red gem on the back of each hand.

"Ultimate power, Montoya?" Tiki's dozens of eyes paused slightly, clearly not expecting to encounter such a powerful enemy here.

"It cannot compare to the greedy blood of your Vasque clan."

Lacey raised her head and suddenly unleashed a powerful force, causing the two bells hanging from her body to tense up instantly, and the veins on her arms and neck to stand out.

"Come on, let me see."

boom--

As soon as she finished speaking, her figure turned into a blur.

When he looked again, Lacey was already in front of Tiki, his iron fist slamming into his disgusting face.

Pfft, pfft...

A series of eyeballs were instantly smashed, spraying out a spray of bloody pus.

"You, you, you're insane!"

Before Tiki could even react, her entire head caved in, her mouth, twisted from the blow, gaping slightly. "Never before has anyone dared to touch Corruption..."

Lacey grinned, as if the bloody holes on her body, corroded by pus, did not cause her any pain.

"It doesn't matter, as long as I kill you."

She had no intention of engaging in a prolonged fight with Tiki; that would truly be a path to defeat.

Boom, boom...

Lacey swayed slightly, throwing out both fists and pounding Tiki's body with each punch, each one bringing out bits of flesh and blood and red and green pus.

"You, you, you..."

Tiki stood frozen in place, her body shattering under the constant bombardment, her tentacles breaking off one by one.

Damn it, damn it... why is she so strong?

Restore it for me!

Whenever he is about to turn into blood and flesh, one of his eyeballs on his head will burst, and then his body will return to normal.

But before he could make a move, Lacey's iron fist would come down and blast his body into pieces once again.

"Is this the blood of greed...? They deserve to be wiped out."

Lacey's face was covered in bloody welts from the corroding pus, but her eyes grew increasingly crazed. "Too weak, too weak..."

Wayne loaded his bullets, keeping an eye on the remaining three while also keeping an eye on Lacey's fight.

Damn, thank goodness I didn't follow Marco's example and court death in front of Lacey.

Otherwise, with the power of that iron fist, Lacey wouldn't even need one punch before kneeling down and begging him not to die...

Too ruthless, too brutal, too violent!

Just then, Collins rushed in front of the Ceres family guards from behind. "Captain Lacey, stop! Please spare his life. We still have things to interrogate him about."

Bang, bang.

Wayne fired two shots toward where he had landed. "Butler Collins, please stay where you are and don't interfere with Captain Lacey's battle."

Although he was reluctant to get involved in the Vázquez's conspiracy, the battle between Marco and Lacey had reached a fever pitch.

At this point, he was the only one who still had the energy to pay attention to other things, and it was really not good to let this butler, Collins Vázquez, take sides.

Collins glanced at him, his face turning completely grim. "Investigator Wayne, you can't..."

Bang, bang.

Two more shots were fired, directly interrupting his speech.

"You don't want these people to run away, do you?"

"You? You have no idea what happened."

Collins, no longer bothering with pretense, said with a hint of urgency, "Captain Lacey, I demand that you capture them alive. They stole the guardian statue of our Ceres family, and we must retrieve it."

"I will, as much as I can," Lacey said excitedly.

Wayne paused in his action of pulling the trigger, and gave her a helpless look.

You're already in this terrible state, why are you still holding back?

Most importantly, even if we held back, this butler Collins wouldn't be grateful in the slightest; on the contrary, right now he'd be the one who most wants us to die here...

"Thank you, our Ceres family will certainly repay you handsomely."

Butler Collins breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he was secretly annoyed with himself for being so talkative and letting these ominous people take action.

And that kid, he killed so many Vasques, he deserves to die!

"The winds of chaos".

Meanwhile, on the other side, Marco's battle was also coming to an end.

The raging storm that gathered around him occasionally swirled around his staff, increasing the power of his swings and completely exhausting Elnor's stamina.

poof,

Erno, leaning on his scimitar, knelt on the ground, his eyes gloomy as he stared at Marco's tall figure. His body trembled slightly, and he was breathing heavily, looking completely exhausted.

"Damn you ominous creatures, we, the Black Pearl, will never let you get away with this..."

"Let's wait until that sea emperor can enter the city-state of Castor before saying that," Marco muttered. "I'm afraid he won't dare."

"You bastard, you scoundrel! How could our Emperor dare to do that? You…"

boom!

Before Erno could finish speaking, a bloody, mangled head slammed down not far in front of him, then rolled over to his side like a ball.

All that could be seen now was Tiki's head. Of the dozens of eyes that were originally open, only one remained wide open; the others had burst into green pus.

"Quick, quick, run... Enoch, run!"

Ticky stared at him, and mumbled the rest of her sentence with the remaining half of her throat.

"Ti, Tiki—"

Elno looked at him helplessly, wanting to reach out and touch him, but afraid of accidentally killing him.

Marco, now back to normal, turned around with his long, flowing red hair and asked in surprise, "Lassie, are you alright?"

Lacey's current appearance is truly terrifying. Only the upper half of her face is intact; the skin and flesh of her cheeks and chin have been corroded to the point that only blood-red bone remains.

His uniform was tattered and torn, and most of the two hanging bells were gone.

It turns out that during combat, the most prominent parts of the body are the most vulnerable to injury.

Her lower body was also severely affected; one leg was reduced to a bone below the knee, with no flesh left.

"Yes, of course, I'm perfectly fine. But I need some treatment; you can take care of things here."

Lacey grinned menacingly, pulled out Potion Number 4 from her pocket, and swallowed it.

There was no other way; her cheeks were severely corroded, and it was impossible to keep the contents out of her mouth.

Marco, who was in good form, nodded and said, "Okay, leave it to me."

Seeing that the fighting had stopped, Collins stepped forward, forcing a smile, "Thank you, Captain Lacey. Our Ceres family will definitely..."

bang, bang, bang...

Just then, the roar of muskets suddenly rang out, and more than a dozen bullets hit Tiki's head.

"Huh? It went off..."

P.S.: There's one more chapter, which will be posted around 12:30.
