Is it really normal to contain these anomalies?

-----------------

Walking in the bedroom on the blood-red night.

The soles of Roland and Angelica's feet were covered in flowing dark red liquid.

But there was no time to care about these things. The two top finishers were holding knives and paying attention to any movement around them.

The explosion was much more powerful than they had imagined.

Half of the dormitory had been blown down, and in this pool of blood and flesh, they did not see the figure of Elena of the Bloody Night.

However, unexpectedly, there were several bodies of soldiers wearing dark yellow chemical protective suits among the ruins.

Part of their chests were torn open by their own blood, while part was buried in flesh and blood.

"It's Elena," Angelica realized that these were tricks of the blood demon and lowered her voice, "They died slowly and painfully..."

"Hmm... I'm afraid they're agents from some unknown company..." Roland made a simple inference. "Although I don't know what their purpose is, it seems they're unlucky to have crashed directly into this city star..."

After all, it seems that these people are very proficient in targeted blasting in small areas. The fact that they can get this level of explosives shows that they have a strong background.

"Keep going, we don't know how far she and her minions have gotten..."

Roland shook his head. He knew that now was not the time to figure this out.

On the bloody night, Elena had escaped the pursuit of the Urban Association countless times. If she didn't hurry up...

And when he took another step forward...

Roland and Angelica noticed something was wrong.

I saw the blood on the ground coagulating, and countless blood-red spikes piercing upwards from the ground...

Chapter 47 Blood Red Night

Accompanied by countless shrill screams.

Roland and Angelica flew into the air, one on the left and one on the right, easily dodging the attack from the ground spikes.

The moment she landed, Angelica threw out her double axes, and the sharp axe blades chopped off the blood thorns that were still standing.

"come out!"

And the next second, as if responding to Angelica's words, some bodies still hanging on the wall quickly swelled up and struggled to fall off.

"Uh!!!"

They quickly climbed out of the pool of blood, making strange noises from their mouths. The blood, mixed with unknown ingredients, coagulated in their arms and turned into sharp blades.

Angelica saw the imminent danger, pulled her gloves, and a half-man-high lance appeared in her hand.

But before she could make a move, Roland's pitch-black sword blade appeared behind them. Countless cold lights flashed through the air, and these monsters turned into a cloud of blood mist.

"Using blood to manipulate these mindless corpses, and then reconstructing human flesh..."

Roland did not sheath his sword, but simply slashed at the pool of blood below him.

Under this blow, a half-person-high blood wall even appeared in front of Roland, but in it, he also heard the sound of something breaking.

"Is it fun to use this blood to manipulate corpses, Elena?"

He continued, saying that he and Angelica both knew that the Bloody Night was near...

"..."

The silence here didn't last long.

Footsteps were heard in the darkness not far away, and a beautiful woman in a suit walked out of the pool of blood.

At this moment, Elena, the City Star-level blood demon, had no intention of concealing her identity.

She showed her true face.

As a blood demon, only half of her face was intact, while the rest of her body was covered in blood and blood vessels. All that could be seen was the dark red color that was still flowing...

"You were the ones who broke into our dormitory... Why are you making me look like the bad guy..."

Her voice was light and seemed to be without any emotion.

"Heh... You can actually look at the corpses of thousands of people around you and brazenly think you're not wrong..."

Angelica's hand tightened around the spear.

Along the way, she and Roland witnessed the deaths of countless finishers and innocent civilians, and even Charles' colleagues...

But she did not launch a rash attack. Bloody Night was famous for her cunning, and countless impulsive actions would only lead to loopholes she discovered.

"..." Elena was very calm, the remaining half of her face still expressionless. "To be exact, there are 4192 people... They are all still taking a lunch break here. This is our dormitory."

“…”

No one responded to her. Angelica and Roland looked at each other, then walked towards her tacitly.

"Let's talk, maybe you can let me go?"

Elena continued to speak, as if asking...

"We are human beings just like you. The only difference is our appearance."

"We are simply releasing our own desires, just like you, yet you are intimidated by us."

"Seeing you guys living your life as you please while excluding us in the darkness... don't you think it's unfair?"

"When you witness unusual things you've never seen or heard of before, you simply consider them to be deviations from normal standards. That's why you fear them and drive them out of your group, but you have no right to use that as a reason to condemn us."

She closed her eyes, but the words she spoke became heavier than the last, as if they were the emotions she had suppressed for a long time.

The filthy blood flowing from all over Alley 23 climbed up her trouser legs and merged into her body bit by bit.

Roland and Angelica began to rush towards Elena.

And at this moment, Elena opened her scarlet eyes, and she finally stopped suppressing her rage and roared.

"Since you can live as you please, so can we!"

This was the gathering place of excess human blood in Alley 23, and it was what had been prepared long ago on the bloody night - everyone's dormitory!

Now, under the manipulation of this Urban Star Blood Demon, blood erupted from any possible place nearby!

Countless blood thorns, countless blood waterfalls!

Roland and Angelica used their weapons to immediately cut through the blood thorns that were in the way.

But it was still too late. Countless blood had already poured onto her body. The originally upright suit disappeared, replaced by a blood-red coat that was so red it made people nauseous...

The surrounding environment also changed slightly. A shocking number of blood vessels were exposed from the wall, and bright red blood was flowing out from nowhere.

This is the 'art' that Irina has painstakingly collected over the years...

"Unfortunately, you are essentially just pieces of flesh without any sense of free will or equality."

Elena smiled and looked at Roland and Angelica with interest.

"I long for something that can satisfy all my hungers....Can you give it to me?"

As soon as the words fell, the battle began.

Roland and Angelica, the two top finishers, suddenly rushed forward with their weapons.

Ping!

These weapons, which came from top workshops in the city such as Arras Workshop and Mo Workshop, actually made a crisp sound like metal collision the moment they came into contact with Elena's blood mist!

"Tsk..."

Unlike Roland who was stuck in a stalemate, Angelica smacked her lips in dissatisfaction, then began to exert more strength in her arms.

The tip of the pitch-black lance actually pierced in.

"?!"

Elena reacted for the first time, seemingly unexpectedly not expecting anyone to penetrate her defenses.

He raised the blood blade condensed on his arm and began to resist the black spear...

At this moment, Angelica's eyes fixed...

She changed her stabbing attack into a sweeping attack, and against the resistance of the blood wall, she cut a gash in Elena's abdomen.

“…”

Elena instantly retreated a few steps, and the outcome of the first confrontation was decided in the blink of an eye.

Perhaps for an ordinary high-level finisher, this would be a fatal injury, but for the Blood Demon, this wound is not worth mentioning at all... It healed quickly with the replenishment of blood.

The city star glanced at Angelica and seemed to recognize the closer...

"Dark and silent?"

"It's an honor for Metropolitan Star to know me."

Angelica smiled slightly, shook her gloves, and another dagger appeared in her hand.

Chapter 48 Heavy damage

Not intending to give Elena any time to breathe, she and Roland rushed forward again.

In this blood-red bedroom, a Color-level Finisher, a Half-color-level Finisher, and a City Star, their swords clashed violently in an instant...

"Roland!"

Angelica swung the dark dagger fiercely again.

This attack was still completely blocked by the blood flowing around the blood demon's cheek with a rustling sound.

However, Roland's longsword also swung straight out from the other side of the blood demon. The pressure brought by this blow without any reservation suppressed Elena in that instant.

His long sword rose with a clear light and cut off half of Elena's face.

"......"

In silence, Elena stared at Roland with her only remaining eye, then let her body fall backwards.

Is she dead?

No....

Her body melted away the moment it touched the pool of blood on the ground, merging into it like a pool of blood mist.

Roland and Angelica's heavy attacks, one after another, gave her a headache...

Despite relying on the ever-flowing blood in Alley 23's sewage system, Elena was still able to hold her own against Roland, Angelica, and the others.

But she still felt a little anxious at this moment. In the explosion caused by unknown persons earlier, some of the escape routes she had prepared for herself were destroyed...

If the 1st Association mobilizes a large number of high-level finishers to round up...

'We must deal with them now!'

This thought flashed through Bloody Night's mind...

"Where did she go?"

At this moment, Roland and Angelica were standing back to back in the pool of blood, keeping watch on each other.

They knew that Elena hadn't fled yet, and the scarlet spikes hanging over Roland and Angelica's heads hadn't yet turned into a pool of blood after the Blood Demon's departure...

She was currently in the pool of blood beneath their feet, and could transform and attack at any moment.

"Roland... When will the people from the 1st Association arrive?"

Angelica asked casually.

This is a false lie, but it seems to work...

The next second, spikes of coagulated blood cut through the air with a sound, and the blood cone hanging above their heads collapsed!

Roland drew his sword and swung it upwards, causing them to turn into slag as they fell...

"and many more!"
