Type-Moon, the Path of a Magician

die--!!!

This emotion that had been lost for who knows how many years once again enveloped Nero's heart, and the fear of the coming death made it difficult for him to remain calm.

Faced with the deadly cut from Shiki's sword, he followed his instinct without mercy and chose to cut off his tail to survive.

Gollum—

Nero Chaos's stiff body turned into a balloon, expanding violently, and a dark shadow spread under his feet. The moment the blade in Shi's hand fell, his body exploded directly, and the black flesh and blood turned into a blood mist that flew all over the sky, and finally fell back to form a pool of blood and flesh under his feet.

Then, accompanied by the roars of wild beasts, countless dark beasts slowly crawled out from the quagmire of flesh and blood. They pounced on the prey in front of them and bit it.

Every drop of blood and every piece of flesh under their feet represented a complete black beast. They were everywhere. They swept over and attacked the three people who were trapped in the quagmire of flesh and blood.

"It's a magic trick for changing the venue. You really have a lot of tricks up your sleeve. But... do you think this will work?"

The moment the shadow fell, Xia Yuan had already protected Shi and Elquet.

The flaming sword condensed in his hand changed as he moved.

Simply put, it disappeared.

When he could catch his light again, the black flame had already stabbed straight into the bloody mire. The flaming sword left a burning smell in the bloody flesh, and the whole area, along with the beasts that emerged, was instantly ignited, directly charred into a sea of ​​fire.

"You will be unable to avoid it from now on, Nero Chaos."

Chapter 122: Inherent Boundary: The Beast King's Lair

raging--!!!

The moment the pitch-black flaming sword fell, the heat wave came down like a wall, and in just a few breaths, it had burned the bloody quagmire under the feet into charcoal. The people around could easily feel the moisture in their throats being quickly taken away.

Nero Chaos, who was hiding in the shadows, was forced to take a few steps back by the dark flames. The scorching heat around him made his body, which was no longer human, feel uncomfortable. At this moment, he regretted that he had acted so rashly.

The calmness on his stern face was gone. When those sharp eagle-like eyes looked at Xia Yuan again, they were full of fear.

Although I had seen this guy in the city before, I thought he was an ordinary agent sent by the Holy Church, but I didn't expect him to be so powerful.

Although she didn't know the true identity of this guy who released fire, the sense of crisis his every move brought to her was even more terrifying than that of the princess.

Not only was his strength and speed stronger than mine, his own magic power was also limitless, and he could also release powerful magic cannons and this extremely evil fire. Why didn't he recognize such a terrifying guy? And why did he appear in such a remote place?

If that were all, it would be fine. Being stronger than oneself does not necessarily mean being able to kill oneself. However, that little girl was even more weird. It was clearly just an ordinary swing of the knife, but it could pose a fatal threat to oneself.

Facing her was like meeting his nemesis. If he hadn't acted decisively and separated the flesh and blood quickly enough, he couldn't guarantee what would have happened if he had really been hit by that knife.

Nero Chaos had no idea where the princess found these two weird guys.

In short, the compatibility between him and these two evil guys is too bad. Not only can one of them suppress him head-on, but the other one may have the means to actually kill him, and the princess is also nearby.

If the stalemate continues, I might really be killed.

retreat.

This was the thought that came into Nero Chaos's mind.

Although wild beasts usually track and kill prey relentlessly, they will also choose to retreat when faced with threats to their survival. This is an instinct imprinted in their genes, and the same is true for the Progenitor of the Dead Apostles.

The end of the sword that Xia Yuan swung down split and ignited half of the building, along with all the flesh and shadows there, leaving behind flesh and blood that was burnt to charcoal.

As a result, everything in the apartment building was emitting a cloud of black smoke and heat, with heat waves spreading underfoot.

As for what he had hit, apart from himself, the two people around him could only make some guesses.

"Are you afraid? Do you want to escape? Nero Chaos."

"As the ancestor of the Dead Apostles, you actually felt fear when facing the humans you despise the most. You are really ridiculous."

Xia Yuan's words were like a sharp blade, piercing Nero Chaos' heart.

Fear, ridiculous...

“… Are you kidding me…”

An obscure sound was squeezed out with difficulty from Nero Chaos' dry throat.

He had given up everything to reach his current realm and strength, ranking tenth among the twenty-seven ancestors of the Dead Apostles. Now he was being ridiculed by a mere human being, a mere piece of meat. For him, who had always despised humans, this was the ultimate insult.

The anger in Nero Chaos' mind instantly rose.

But even in his rage, he still had some basic rationality in his head. At this distance, he could leave here safely as long as he retreated a little. But if he ran away like this...

——How can this be possible? ! !

"Of course not! Idiot!"

Just a few seconds.

Along with the crisp sound of broken bones, Nero Chaos only felt a soreness in his neck, followed by a sharp pain in his broken neck.

How can this be?

She had clearly just merged with the shadows around her. In this situation, even the princess would find it difficult to find her location.

But, how on earth did he find himself in such a short time? ! !

Did he just say those words just to irritate himself and buy time to find himself?

Impossible, it was just a few seconds...

Nero Chaos tried to understand what had just happened at the first moment, but before that, Xia Yuan's powerful fist had already come towards his face!

The terrifying destructive force made his head and body, which were as hard as steel, make muffled sounds, and both his face and limbs were constantly deformed by the continuous beatings.

During this process, he even felt that he had been turned into a piece of steel on an anvil, being pressed against the wall and hammered madly by Xia Yuan, the blacksmith, until all his impurities (life) were knocked out.

monster……

Compared to me, this guy is like a complete monster. I can't even resist in his hands.

We must think of a way.

"Drink--!!!"

Nero Chaos did not sit still and wait for death. With the operation of a strange magic, the black shadow under him surged again. Then, an extremely huge wolf head rushed out from the shadow of his chest which had been deformed by countless punches. It bit Xia Yuan's arm directly at close range. Several black poisonous snakes also came out from the shadow under his feet and entangled his legs, trying to take the opportunity to drag him into the dark quagmire.

"careful!"

Seeing this sudden change, Elquet and Ryougi Shiki naturally would not sit idly by, and they both rushed over to provide support.

However, this is a bit unnecessary.

"Back off!"

Xia Yuan shouted coldly without giving too much explanation to them who were approaching. The surging magic power, the melting ground under his feet, and the boiling flames were enough to explain it all.

The black flames once again swept out from the palms and limbs of the body.

The temperature around him continued to rise, causing the moisture in his eyes to drain away faster. The black snake wrapped around his legs was roasted into a mummy in an instant by the scorching heat. The giant wolf that had emerged from his chest was clamped on the head by Xia Yuan's hands wrapped in black flames in the next instant. The wolf let out a painful scream, and then, like Hercules in Greek mythology, he tore it apart.

The floor beneath his feet finally collapsed because it could not withstand such high temperatures, leaving only a straight lava groove in the middle, and he and Nero Chaos, who was in his hand, fell from a high altitude.

Bang bang bang——! ! !

"let me go……"

While falling in mid-air, Nero Chaos wanted to take the opportunity to break free from Xia Yuan's grasp. He manipulated the beast factor in his body to cover his body with a layer of sharp poisonous thorns, and the pair of huge crow wings behind him were also ready to take off.

But what followed was not Xia Yuan's letting go and escaping. Instead, a heavy punch to the face completely ignored his body wrapped in poisonous stings. He turned in the air and pressed Nero Chaos's broken body down like a rag, and then blasted it straight down from the seventh floor.

The huge pair of wings were torn off in mid-air by a huge force before they had a chance to take off.

Boom——! ! !

As the two fell floor by floor, the continuous impacts made the collapse of the entire apartment building inevitable. It was actually a miracle that the building could hold out for so long under such an intense battle.

Noticing that the building beneath his feet was beginning to shake, Elquet quickly picked up Shiki beside him and quickly left the battlefield.

Falling from such a height and being hit by falling objects, and being seriously injured, is no joke, not to mention that there is also Ryougi Shiki, who is just an ordinary person, next to him.

At the moment, it seems that there is no need to worry about the battle situation on Xia Yuan's side. His strength is much stronger than he imagined. Even if he is at his full strength, he may not be able to gain any benefit from him.

Nero Chaos had almost no ability to fight back in front of him. He had been crushed from the beginning of the battle to now. If it weren't for his tricky immortality, he would have been completely destroyed by now.

So they should leave here first, and then go down to support Xia Yuan.

This special girl is obviously very important to Xia Yuan, and the right thing to do is to protect her well, although she feels that this girl doesn't actually need her protection at all.

After making reasonable arrangements, Elquet began to move back and forth in the crumbling building with Shiki in his arms, running quickly to a safe place.

the other side--

The two men who had already fallen to the bottom of the building were still fighting fiercely under the building that was about to collapse.

Faced with the imminent threat to his life, Nero Chaos decisively revealed all his cards.

Following his call, the shadows beneath his feet boiled and expanded, and what emerged were no longer the previous beast familiars, but new, stronger special monsters.

For example: the griffin with an eagle's head, a lion's body, and wings on its back; the Hydra, a giant venomous snake with nine heads that sprays poison mist; even the mythical beast Chimera with a lion's head, a goat's body, and a scorpion's tail were released by him.

Griffins, Chimeras, Hydras, and many composite beasts based on mythical beasts appeared here.

Although it is impossible for it to possess the power of those original beasts in the mythological era, it is definitely not something that modern magicians can deal with.

It can be said that at this moment Nero Chaos has already used his most powerful card.

He released most of the beast factors stored in his body and stitched them into these mythical monsters.

Nero Chaos, who had spent so much energy, didn't even have the energy to say harsh words.

However, how can a composite beast made by imitating a mythical monster withstand Xia Yuan’s full firepower? Even if the mythical monster reappears, he will kill it for you to see.

Just like before, the so-called Hydra and Chimera composite monsters, facing the terrifyingly rising temperature of the pitch-black flaming sword in their hands, no matter how many synthetic monsters came, they were just simple firewood.

"This is impossible!!"

So under the horrified gaze of Nero Chaos, the three powerful synthetic monsters were cut into pieces by the swing of the Sword of Fire, and then burned to ashes in the scorching flames, without even leaving any ashes.

After easily destroying his synthetic monster, the figure did not even stop, but just walked straight towards him on the remaining sparks under his feet, and then...

Brush, brush, brush————!!!

There were several sharp sounds of breaking air, followed by the sound of flesh and blood being burned by flames. Only a few minutes later, half of Nero Chaos' body was blown into pieces again. Although his damaged flesh and blood was still healing, the sword of fire continued to swing down.

Destroy, heal, destroy, heal, destroy, heal…

This happened countless times. No matter how Xia Yuan used the Sword of Fire to kill him, Nero Chaos could always recover from his injuries quickly.

Can't be killed.

Because Nero Chaos is the ancestor of the Dead Apostles who fused his [Inherent Barrier: Beast King's Lair] into his body, he gained terrifying immortality due to its characteristics. If the 666 Beast Factors stored in his body are not destroyed at the same time, he can be resurrected continuously like he is now and cannot be truly killed.

This is also the reason why he causes the most headaches for the Cathedral Church.

But even though Nero Chaos possessed almost absolute immortality, in the process of being constantly destroyed and resurrected by Xia Yuan, Nero Chaos's cold expression finally couldn't be held back.

Destroy, heal, destroy, heal, destroy, heal…

Destroy, heal, destroy, heal, destroy, heal--

I don’t know how many times this cycle has been repeated in just a few minutes.

His limbs would always be cut off by Xia Yuan at a very fast speed and then healed. Any resistance was futile. At this moment, he could not move at all.

Moreover, the guy in front of him seemed tireless. No matter how he swung, his speed did not slow down at all. Instead, it got faster and faster.

I won't let you live for another second.

Having already made a vow in his heart, Xia Yuan's magic power continued to rise.

With full of rage, he cut off his limbs with continuous blows and burned his body with flames.

At this time, Nero Chaos was quite panicked.

Although he could not be killed, the feeling of being tortured and the suffocating feeling of constantly cycling between death and rebirth still drove him crazy.

This unpleasant experience of being crushed and slaughtered made him unconsciously think of those humans he had hunted. How similar was his current situation to theirs when they were dying?

Move, move! !

If this continues, if the princess and the little girl who can threaten her own death also come over, then it will all be over!!

At this moment, I can mobilize all the power I can, any monster I can create, anyone can come out and save me! !

The power and will to survive that erupted before his death made the black shadow under Nero Chaos' feet expand again, and then several strangely shaped terrifying monsters rushed out from it, trying to stop Xia Yuan's killing and give him a chance to escape.

But, it's useless.
