Star Forge Titan

However, the other side was clearly no ordinary human either. Faced with such a formidable foe, they remained calm, loading their ammunition and attacking, looking like specially trained assassins.

They felt no fear and were ready to die, but this was of no use and could not change the outcome of their defeat.

In just a moment, Alvin appeared among the group of assassins. The transition from extreme speed to extreme silence caused a gust of wind.

At the same time, the fist covered with a layer of solid armor also hit the infantry gun that had just been loaded, causing the barrel to bend.

If they forced the cannon to fire at this moment, it would inevitably lead to a tragic accident, with the cannon exploding. Most normal people would choose to surrender, but the death warriors, aware of the disparity in strength between the two sides, did not do so.

Most of them rushed towards Ivan without hesitation, trying to stop him with all their strength. Judging from their movements and speed, they were all low-level transcendents. Although they might only be at the first level, it was enough to show that the value of this group of death warriors was far rarer than imagined.

The only remaining soldier did not rush forward like the others, but he rushed towards the damaged infantry gun as quickly as possible. This guy wanted to press the trigger device and use the gun barrel filled with high-pressure steam as a bomb!

But as I said before, being ready to die is useless and risking your life is just futile!

Alvin didn't use any weapons. He just wore armor and knocked down everyone who rushed towards him with one punch.

His movements were incredibly swift, and even a casual punch would knock someone into the ground or embed them deeply into the wall.

At the same time, Ivan's speed was so fast that it was difficult for the naked eye to capture it. To others, the black-haired boy's figure seemed to flash a few times in an instant, and they could barely make out a few incoherent movements.

Then, those dead men lost their ability to move one after another, and their limp bodies appeared in places such as the roof of a small building ten meters away.

As for the guy who wanted to detonate the infantry gun, before he could get close to the trigger device, he was hit accurately in the legs by an ice-blue ray. Then, he immediately fell stiffly to the ground, and his legs were already frozen into a ball of ice.

Ivan rushed out of the barricade and looked back, and saw the necromancer who had climbed onto the roof of the street at some point, waving his wand and continuously releasing spells to snipe the crazy people on the street.

Even his pet Peanut Butter, who was lying on top of his head, was not idle. From time to time, it was thrown out as a throwing weapon, using its claws and wings to flexibly shuttle back and forth among the crazy people who tried to climb over the barricade, leaving a series of cat-like scratches.

Although the madmen were stiff, they did not seem to be real corpses and were obviously still disturbed by the pain, so many of them fell off the barricades.

"This guy." Alvin cursed with a smile, and then he was surrounded by crazy people whose number was dozens or hundreds of times that of the dead soldiers.

He grabbed a living dead man at random. Although such people generally would not reveal secrets, he still gave it a try. After all, he had a necromancer on his side who was good at making people feel pain.

Considering that he was not completely sure that the crazy people around him could not recover, Alvin had no intention of killing them for the time being. However, it was inevitable that he would accidentally knock someone into a tree or kick them more than ten meters away.

Who made him have the perfect power to knock down the dragon now?

Relying on his armor to withstand the attack, Ivan pushed through the madman and came to the roof where Khayon was. Then he jumped and took the prisoner hostage to the side of the necromancer.

"Interrogate him and extract as much information as you can. I'll be in charge of the defense, so hurry!"

As he spoke, Alvin raised his hand and pressed the wall. The dark golden light of [Reshaping the World] flashed, and a stone spear appeared in his hand.

While the rock was prone to breaking, it wasn't a problem as long as the diameter was increased. Holding a rock spear measuring 15 centimeters in diameter and over two meters in length, Ivan sent at least seven lunatics flying with a single sweep.

They fell into the dense crowd behind with strange cries, so with someone to fall with them they would not be fatally injured.

Khayang was not vague either. He raised his hand and directly stuck the wand into the opponent's ear canal, and began to chant malicious spells amid the shrill screams of the dead man.

With Ivan there, the enemy's heavy weapons team was eliminated in the first time using decapitation tactics. This barricade would naturally not be easily broken, and the morale of the residents in the surrounding downtown area also became exceptionally high.

On the other hand, the chaotic situation also perfectly concealed the sound of the necromancer casting spells.

Not long after, he shook off the blood and brain matter on his hands, quickly walked up to Ivan and whispered:

"I've found out a bit. They nominally serve a count, who seems to be the commander in charge of defending the city near Heaven's Gate, but the real mastermind behind this is still unknown."

The Necromancer's expression was very serious, and Alvin also understood the other meaning in his words.

In today's relatively peaceful times, a count is not qualified to train such death squads, and those who have enough power and resources to train extraordinary people to serve as death squads are probably only the real nobles.

That is to say...

As he was thinking, a strange noise suddenly came from the orphanage in the distance.

"Oh no! It's those children." Sister Teresa's exclamation interrupted Ivan's thoughts.

"Mammy, what happened?" He flashed to the other side and asked in a calmer tone.

"Those kids who were poisoned are probably going crazy, just like the people working in the factory area!" Theresa shouted excitedly.

"Hurry up and find a way to stop them! I put them in a room by themselves, and they probably can't get out now."

"Don't worry." Alvin raised his hand to signal the other party to calm down.

"I think Diana and Catherine will handle this properly."

As soon as he finished speaking, the noisy sounds in the orphanage suddenly stopped.

"Look, isn't this..."

Boom! A deafening roar came from the other side of the barricade, followed by an exceptionally sharp shout from the crowd.

"It's fallen! The barricade has fallen!"

Chapter 133 The Longest Night 3

The composition of barricades is often very complex, and most of the time they are made of local materials and adapted to local conditions.

Therefore, nothing is surprising in it, there is even a Lind joke: what is the strongest barricade made of? Of course, it is the baguette of old Pierre's family.

In the neighborhood where Marilyn's orphanage is located, neighbors chose to build barricades made from construction debris, sandbags, and wooden chairs from a corner cafe.

Although building materials are cheap and common, the Linde people, especially those living in Lutetia, are particularly good at building barricades because they have experienced sieges that lasted for thirty years in the past. They even incorporate them into daily celebrations.

For example, on May 10th of each year, barricades decorated in various strange shapes would be built in various blocks of Lutetia, and then completely dismantled on the 13th of the month to celebrate the end of the Thirty Years' War and the final survival of their side.

Putting aside these old facts, the chaotic situation in the downtown area also required residents of each neighborhood to know how to build barricades.

Because that may very well become the last barrier to protect the neighborhood and even the family.

No matter what materials are used, each barricade built in this way is very strong.

But at this moment, the solid barricade was forcibly broken by something from the outside!

Alvin was very sure that he did not miss any enemy armed with heavy weapons, so what on earth broke through the sturdy barricade?

Looking in the direction of the dust rising into the sky and the screams of humans, I saw that there seemed to be some extremely large creature standing in the cloud of dust.

The human's wailing gradually became strange, and when the dust cleared, Alvin saw a wild boar.

To be more precise, it was a gigantic wild boar, severely corroded and covered in some black substance, with a very strange appearance. It was over four meters tall, perhaps even close to five meters, and from a distance it looked like a terrifying, muscular mountain.

What's even more strange is that its head and neck are covered with a layer of black substance that reflects firelight and moonlight, as if smeared with a layer of sticky and shiny melted asphalt, making this unusually large monster look even more hideous.

Behind it, one could vaguely see something rising and falling, and sparks faintly bursting out.

At the same time, the monster was biting a person in its mouth. Although it was only biting the arm, its thick, short and sharp fangs were embedded in the flesh and blood. What made people even more chilling was the slowly flowing black substance.

They slowly gathered along the wound bitten by the wild boar and flowed into the man's body. Then, the man who was bitten became more and more stiff, and as the wailing gradually disappeared, the amplitude of his limbs struggling became smaller and smaller.

Finally, the wild boar casually spit out the bitten person, and the originally ordinary man now slowly bent his body forward in a very strange posture, chanting prayers that ordinary people could not understand, and slowly stood up from the ground.

He actually became a new madman!

"This is..." Alvin narrowed his eyes.

The familiar scene awakened the memories retained in his mind, allowing him to quickly recall something similar.

"A variant of the Narvus Plague?" The boy's expression became extremely serious, and he took the initiative to walk forward against the fleeing crowd.

"Everyone, quickly retreat and don't get bitten by that monster. We will set up a new line of defense fifty meters behind." Old Patton, who also noticed this scene, shouted loudly. He still had some say in the lower city, and Mother Theresa also called out.

Finally, the originally chaotic crowd gradually calmed down. They avoided the wild boar that did not continue to attack for some reason and began to quickly build new barricades in the rear.

Ivan walked out alone, his pure white armor flashing with light that flickered like breathing. Although he did not look as tall as the monster, he exuded a stronger presence than the other.

Only after approaching the monster did Alvin notice that the thing undulating on the wild boar's back wasn't some mutated tumor, but a small steam engine that had inexplicably merged into its flesh!!!

The familiar scene made him suddenly realize something, and he quickly looked at the crazy people who kept uttering strange prayers.

As expected, a dark substance similar to the top of a wild boar's head could be vaguely seen on the bodies of those crazy people, but the area of ​​skin it occupied was limited, and from a distance it looked like freckles or sores.

Earlier, Alvin had seen something similar on a degenerate and crazy factory owner.

The other party had also merged with the machine and seemed extremely indignant. Could it be that relevant experiments had already been conducted before? And what was happening now was just the widespread use of that terrible poison, or curse?

In an instant, all the clues were connected in Ivan's mind, and he had an understanding of the whole story.

Although there are still doubts, there is no need to say more about what to do now.

"Kayang!" Ivan roared on the spot.

"What's the matter? Why are you yelling so loudly? I can hear you." Kayang, who had climbed onto the roof and circled behind the wild boar at some point, suddenly poked his head out.

"Protect the others, I'll kill this guy." He didn't care about his companions' response. Alvin had at least 60 points of trust in that guy. Adding Frey's bonus points, it would probably be 80 points?

In short, all his attention is now focused on this monster.

He stamped his foot hard, and the dark golden light of [Reshaping the World] extended backward along the ground. In the blink of an eye, a three-meter-high earth wall was erected on the spot. Mixed in it were gravel and stone slabs used for paving the road. It was a solid barrier that the madman could hardly break through with the cold weapons in his hands.

But the prerequisite is to eliminate the strange wild boar, otherwise the other party will be able to break through this new barricade like a battering ram with a few more charges.

"Since you're so ugly and carrying a broken boiler on your back, I might as well just call you the Self-Heating Steamed Meat Wild Boar King." Ivan twisted his neck, making a crisp "click, click" sound.

This name seemed to anger the strange wild boar. The steam boiler that was integrated into its flesh and blood behind it immediately let out a long roar, and a mixture of yellow and green mist spurted out from its long pig nostrils, making the ground it touched immediately make a hissing sound and corroded it into a mess.

"Bah." Ivan spat on the broken knife tip under his feet without showing any weakness.

The acid glands created by the arcane transformation allow him to spit out acidic saliva strong enough to corrode metal.

Seeing this scene, the wild boar's small eyes embedded in its thick, wrinkled skin couldn't help but shrink.

This guy actually has a strong thinking ability, and is obviously not a stupid mutant creature. The so-called curse may have even more terrifying abilities.

Ivan was not surprised by this because he had already guessed something.

"It looks like a plague, but in fact it is closer to a curse, and its essence..." The young man slowly uttered a shocking conclusion.

"It's demonic possession."

Yes, the plague released by Nurul is so terrible. Although it looks like a plague and behaves like a curse, its essence is a terrible distortion and transformation.

A creature from the material world that has been completely transformed will become a terrifying hybrid demon inspired by Narcissus.

"Hehehe." The wild boar let out a strange laugh.

"Human, you understand very well..."

Before he could finish his words, the hybrid demon transformed from a wild boar saw a fist emitting a strong white light in front of him!

Who the hell has time to talk to you! I'm going to find the culprit and cause trouble!

With a resolute expression, Ivan punched the hybrid demon on the head.

A terrifying force strong enough to knock down a giant dragon was instantly infused into it, causing the gigantic hybrid demon to freeze for a moment before exploding on the spot!!!

At the moment when blood and flesh splattered, the young man in pure white armor raised his clenched fist high towards the sky, as if he was tightly grasping a golden belt symbolizing victory.

He had roughly guessed the other party's intentions. These flags in front of him were most likely just flags used to divert the attention of all parties, and the possibility of them being used as sacrifices could not be ruled out, but the other party's real target should be the Giant God Soldier that had just been transferred to the vicinity of the capital.

Otherwise, the mastermind behind the scenes would not have chosen such a coincidental time to launch the plan.

In this way, what I have to do now is much simpler.

Then use these clenched iron fists to smash those evil tricks and their masterminds to pieces!

Chapter 134 The Longest Night 4

Because this form of demonic possession is necessarily a very slow process under normal circumstances.

Therefore, in the short term, there are not many hybrid demons like the wild boar that rely on increasing the intensity of the curse, continuously deepening the infection, and finally completing the erosion transformation.

The other party probably didn't expect to meet someone like Alvin in a small block in the downtown area.

Surprise plus surprise, the result is no surprise.

Anyway, after destroying the giant boar-like hybrid demon, the barricade's defenses were temporarily stabilized. After asking Kayan to let Peanut Butter fly up to survey the surroundings, Ivan returned to the orphanage alone.

Just as he had guessed, the situation here was indeed controlled by Diana and Catherine in the first place.

Several children who had fallen into anomaly were tied up with ropes. Although the way they whispered strange prayers was disturbing, at least they did not cause more damage.

Inside the house, Diana was accompanying the children with a melancholy look on her face, while Catherine stood beside her, holding the dagger.

The Duchess is still very reliable at times like this and can make decisive decisions when necessary.

Seeing Alvin come in, the two of them quickly stood up.

"These children..."

"Let me take a look." Alvin did not hesitate and immediately stepped forward to check the children's current situation.
