Please be my partner.

After all, Darren is different from others. He has already accepted the benefits given by the Wiggins family. If he chooses to betray them at this time, I am afraid that not only the Wiggins family will regard him as a thorn in their side, but the entire Golden Academy will have no place for him.

All this happened in a very short time. After calming his mind, Darren quickened his movements and continued to reorganize his position.

“Boom!~” “Boom!~”

What followed was the second wave of attacks from Vasco and Ella. The already dilapidated defensive position collapsed directly. Even with Darren's repairs, it was unlikely to withstand the third attack from the two.

Sure enough, as Vasco and Ella launched their third attack, the defensive position suddenly collapsed. The people following Johnny immediately tried to stop them, but even the aftermath of the attack caused several people to suffer varying degrees of injuries.

Johnny suddenly raised his head, and the process of devouring the deformed undead life did not stop. With his movement, the deformed undead life that had originally been quiet began to move again, but this time it took the initiative to include Johnny and others in the protection range, and launched a more fierce attack on Vasco and Ella.

Mellen's eyes flashed, and several commands were transmitted through the contract.

Garuru, which had originally stopped its attack, barked excitedly a few times before its body began to rapidly expand and deform, soon transforming into its current strongest form... the Titan Fortress.

Dense weapon muzzles extended from the Giant God Fortress, and began to gather energy fluctuations that even Vasco and Ella were surprised by.

"Boom!~"

Psionic rays, elemental cannons, space retraction cannons, molten bombs, ice beams, lightning beams...

Intensive firepower poured out, and the noise was far greater than that of the previous super-giant Titan.

Even the deformed undead creatures could only use most of their strength for defense for a while.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when Garuru suddenly exploded and attracted everyone's attention, a dim blood light floated out of Mellen's body and quickly fell into the body of the deformed undead.

It was Xiao Honglian.

Before, Melen had thought about letting Xiao Honglian sneak into the body of the deformed undead through blood manipulation and disguise, and search for the super-sized treasure first.

However, although the distorted undead life is chaotic, it also has the unified internal logic of undead life. If a non-undead life like Xiao Honglian rashly enters the body of a distorted undead life, it will easily be discovered.

So Mellen's original plan was that if Johnny was not going to cause any trouble before the death of the deformed undead, he would wait until the deformed undead was weakened to a certain extent before letting Xiao Honglian go to seize the initiative.

But now there is no need to be so troublesome, because the Wiggins family's means have split the chaotic and distorted undead sounds into two. In this case, it is easier for Xiao Honglian to hide herself.

"Roar!~"

The golden-haired man roared, turned into a stream of light and entered Melen's body. Melen then transformed into a half-dragon form.

The second phase of battle with higher intensity has officially begun.

Faced with the powerful attack of Vasco, Ella and Melen, as well as the firepower coverage of Garuru Giant Fortress, Johnny finally realized the suffering of the deformed undead life before.

But Johnny was not idle either. While controlling the distorted undead life to resist the attacks, he also increased the speed of devouring the distorted undead life and familiarized himself with this new power.

The current battle is beyond the imagination of ordinary legends. Even someone as strong as Lobo can only barely participate in it by relying on his speed advantage, and the role he plays is relatively limited.

In fact, even Melen, who had entered a state of soul synchronization with Golden Hair, could not play a big role in a battle of this level. It was just that because Golden Hair's Dark Prison Dragon Breath had an extremely exaggerated killing bonus against the undead, it was more useful than Lobo.

As the intensity of the battle increased, the deformed undead lost their lives at a faster rate. In just half a day, less than 30% of their original strength remained.

Johnny knew that he couldn't go on any longer. If the deformed undead lost their lives again, the Holy Spirit hidden in their bodies would most likely be exposed. If the others found an opportunity to snatch it away and run away, then all his efforts would be in vain.

Fortunately, at this time Johnny had already devoured nearly 40% of the volume of the deformed undead life. The surging power surged and boiled in his body, making his desire expand infinitely.

Johnny immediately set his sights on Mellen, who was not only the weakest among the three, but both Golden Retriever and Garuru had caused him great trouble.

Especially the golden-haired dragon's breath of purgatory. If it weren't for the fact that the dragon's breath of purgatory would completely burn the undead life, the volume of the deformed undead life that Johnny devoured should have increased by one or two percent.

You know, although the more he devours, the more Johnny will be pushed to the brink of madness, as long as he merges with the Holy Spirit and is promoted to a saint, all these powers will become his foundation, allowing him to take a big step directly into the saint stage.

A huge hole appeared in Johnny's chest, and the power of death flowed out of it and turned into dark tentacles. He looked at the people who were attacking him one by one. At this time, in order to compete for the Innate Holy Spirit, everyone was a mortal enemy, and there was no need to say any polite words.

The dark tentacles surged out like a tide.

Among them, the attacks on other people were mainly aimed at restraining them, and almost the vast majority of the tentacles were directed towards Mellen.

Seeing this, Melen quickly moved his body and created one phantom after another that was difficult to distinguish between real and fake, in order to confuse the attacks of the tentacles.

Johnny glanced at Darren, who understood and clasped his hands together, releasing a halo of light. Wherever the light released by the halo passed, the phantoms released by Mellen suddenly became translucent, while his real body was not affected.

The attacking tentacles immediately changed their target and headed towards Mellen's body.

Mellen's eyes flashed.

In the fairy tale kingdom, Spike has awakened from his deep sleep. The dog exudes a will to kill that is enough to make even the most determined person lose their mind and fall into madness, but Spike's eyes are deep and indifferent, like an ancient well, unmoved by external things.

"Buzz!~"

"Huh!~"

Spatial vibrations and icy winds swept past Melen from the left and right, directly destroying most of the attacking black tentacles. Vasco and Ella helped Melen at the same time.

Of course, their purpose in helping Mellen was very simple. First, Mellen could cause equal damage to Johnny as they did. Second, Mellen was relatively weak, so if they helped him a little, he could be used as a living target to attract Johnny's firepower.

After Johnny is dealt with, the two will definitely eliminate Mellen as soon as possible. They have a tacit understanding on this.

At this time, Xinko was not idle either. He found Darren. Although his strength might be weaker than the latter, it was still no problem to use it to restrain Darren.

In this way, Mellen's illusion ability can be used again, and the pressure he faces is suddenly greatly reduced.

Johnny forcibly suppressed the rage and madness surging in his heart, using his remaining sanity to fight the enemy while trying to incorporate the remaining deformed undead life into himself.

But this is not easy. As the size of the deformed undead life forms decreases, most of the undead and ghosts controlled by Johnny are also lost, and the resistance of the deformed undead life forms becomes more and more intense.

Originally, these were nothing. After all, in terms of size, Johnny was already larger than the deformed undead life. But Mellen and the others would not let Johnny succeed easily.

For Mellen and the others, whether it is to consume the life of the deformed undead, expose its innate holy spirit, and then wait for an opportunity to snatch it, or to delay until Johnny's sanity collapses and then self-destructs, both are good options.

Time is on their side.

This is also what Johnny is most worried about.

At this time, no matter which side Johnny focuses his main attack on, it will attract several other people to help, which makes him have great power but can only do useless work.

Gradually, a fierce look flashed in Johnny's eyes. On the surface, he was a playboy, but in fact, he was more ruthless than anyone else in making decisions, and naturally he had the courage to risk his life at the critical moment.

And now is the time to fight for your life!

Chapter 305 The dust has settled

Johnny suddenly retracted his dark tentacles. Since he had been on the offensive the whole time, he could naturally retract them freely at this moment.

The pressure on Mellen and others was greatly reduced for a while, but because they did not understand Johnny's thoughts, they did not act rashly, but were cautious and vigilant.

Johnny glanced at everyone fiercely, then suddenly fell like a meteor towards the deformed undead life.

Xinke immediately understood Johnny's plan and sent out a rapid mental wave: "Stop him quickly! He has given up on devouring the Soul Hider and intends to forcibly fuse the distorted undead life at the cost of permanently losing part of his human essence. If he succeeds, the Innate Holy Spirit will become his possession!"

Everyone's heart trembled. Although they still didn't understand why the innate holy spirit could be born in the deformed undead life form, there was no doubt that the two were intrinsically connected.

For the Soul Hider, the most orthodox method of cultivation is naturally to continuously devour and digest the lives of the dead. Although doing so will gradually pollute one's own soul and eventually drive one to madness, at least in essence, the Soul Hider is still human.

But what Johnny did at this time was to voluntarily give up his human nature and move himself towards the direction of undead life. Once the fusion was completed, he could no longer be called a human being. Even if he became a saint in the future, he could not change this established fact.

After instantly understanding the key, Vasco and Ella became anxious. They could fight for the innate holy spirit that could 100% help them become saints, and they would even offend the Wiggins family for it, but this did not mean that they were willing to give up their lives easily.

It is foreseeable that once Johnny controls the innate holy spirit by forcibly fusing the deformed undead life, with his current accumulation, he will definitely be able to become a saint in a very short time. When facing a saint, they may not even be able to escape from the secret realm.

At this time, the two of them no longer cared whether they would hurt the Innate Holy Spirit. They all used their strongest strength, and they even had the idea of deliberately destroying the Innate Holy Spirit.

After all, even if they only snatched some fragments after the Innate Holy Spirit was destroyed, it would be enough to greatly reduce the difficulty of their own promotion to Saint. It is much better than Johnny taking a step forward to become a Saint after obtaining the Innate Holy Spirit!

But, at this moment...

Just when Johnny was about to come into contact with the deformed undead life...

Just when Vasco and Ella were about to unleash their full potential to launch an attack and kill the distorted undead life forms...

Something happened that no one expected.

The blazing infernal dragon breath and the long-accumulated psychic energy beams directly bombarded Vasco and Ella's attacks. Although they failed to completely offset the attacks of the two, after this consumption, the remaining power was not enough to destroy the deformed undead lives.

Johnny showed a look of ecstasy. He had already fallen into despair. He could naturally see the purpose of Vasco and Ella's attack, but he had no way to stop it.

With his current strength, he can indeed block those two attacks, but what after that?

The forced fusion of undead life is not without restrictions. The most basic point is that one's own strength must be at least above that of the undead life being fused. Otherwise, it is not "fusion" but "integration". This is a very simple logical relationship.

If Johnny didn't block the two attacks, the deformed undead life, including the innate holy spirit in its body, would probably be directly destroyed, and then only death would be waiting for Johnny.

If Johnny blocks two attacks, he will definitely be seriously injured, and the remaining strength will not allow him to complete the forced fusion step. At that time, the deformed undead life without wisdom will inevitably be killed, and even the complete innate holy spirit will be left behind.

Choose the lesser of two evils. If no matter what choice he makes, the final result for Johnny is death, then he would rather let the Innate Holy Spirit be destroyed than let Mellen and the others get away with it, so he did not try to block the two attacks.

However, when Mellen suddenly stepped in to help Johnny block two attacks, the feeling of rising from hell to heaven in an instant even moved Johnny. He was already thinking that after he became a saint, he might be able to spare Mellen's life to thank him for his help at the critical moment.

Of course, saving one's life here refers to extracting Mellen's soul and carefully preserving it.

Faced with Mellen's sudden attempt to stop him, Vasco and Ella were both shocked and angry. They had never expected and could not understand why Mellen would do such a stupid thing. You know, just a few minutes ago, they were still "comrades-in-arms" who could block bullets for each other!

Although, the two of them had no good intentions in blocking the attack for Mellen.

Whether it was the Purgatory Dragon Breath or the concentrated psychic energy, it didn't look like a spur-of-the-moment idea at all, and was obviously prepared in advance.

Vasco said hatefully, "Are you and Johnny in cahoots?!"

Although Vasco thought it was unlikely, after all, Melen and Xinko were obviously on the same side, and before, without knowing what the super-sized treasure was, Vasco and Ella had already planned to give up. It was because of Xinko's reminder that they broke out into a more intense fight.

If Mellen and Johnny were in cahoots, then if Xinko hadn't said anything, Johnny might have been successfully promoted to a saint by now.

But apart from this explanation, Vasco could not think of any other possibility.

Even Xinko looked at Mellen with confusion, not understanding what he was up to.

The crowd's doubts did not last long and were soon resolved.

Johnny, who had activated the forced fusion, suddenly froze, then almost collapsed and shouted: "No! No!! That's mine! You thief, damn thief! That's mine!!"

Dense tentacles suddenly emerged from the deformed undead life. Some of these tentacles were ghosts, and some were flesh and blood. They extended wildly, as if they were grabbing something.

A small ray of blood light broke out from the deformed undead body, moved lightly among the dense tentacles, and quickly broke away from the encirclement and came to Mellen. It was the little Honglian who was sent out by Mellen early in the morning.

Little Honglian sat down in front of Mellen, wagging her tail rapidly. She raised her little head to reveal the almost transparent ball of pure light in her mouth, looking very proud and waiting for praise.

Mellen rubbed Xiao Honglian's little head, then took the pure light ball from the little guy's mouth. The moment he touched it, just the natural breath emitted by the pure light ball made his body and soul feel extremely happy, and an almost greedy desire to devour arose in his heart. That was the most primitive desire of life for evolution.

Faced with such twists and turns in the plot, Vasco, Ella and others almost popped their eyes out and were all stunned and unable to move.

But although they did not move, Johnny was not idle.

After going through the process from great sorrow to great joy and then back to great sorrow, Johnny's remaining sanity has been completely shattered. Now he only has one last thought left... to take back the Innate Holy Spirit!

Johnny's movement naturally woke up the others who were in a daze.

Melen played with the Innate Holy Spirit for a moment, then put it away.

This action rekindled the light in Vasco and Ella's eyes.

The fusion of the innate holy spirit does not require much attention, and there is no danger. You can start immediately after obtaining it. Although I don’t understand why Mellen did not choose to fuse it directly but put it away, this undoubtedly gives them a glimmer of hope.

Vasco said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect you to hide so deeply, Melen, right? I will remember you!"

Although Ella didn't say anything, she looked at Mellen with a serious look.

Luo Bo smacked his lips and muttered softly, "Wow, he dared to snatch food from the tiger's mouth under such circumstances and managed to do it. He's really a tough guy!"

Xin Ke frantically sent a thought to Mellen: "Mellen, what are you doing?! Hurry up and absorb the Innate Holy Spirit!"

Mellen looked calm. He did not absorb the innate holy spirit on the spot because he had other considerations.

Mellen tapped the mark of the secret realm on the back of his hand, and when he found that he could not be teleported out directly, he sighed without much surprise.

At this time, this area was not only shrouded in the lingering power of the deformed undead life, but also under the joint blockade of Vasco and Ella, so the mark naturally could not be used.

With Xinke looking bewildered, Mellen whispered to him, "Stay away."

Sensing the three powerful auras locking onto him, Melen placed his hand on the white jade bracelet on his wrist. It was his greatest gain in the Broken Land... the Full Moon Semi-Artifact.

Of course, Mellen's action at this time was naturally not to use this powerful weapon. After all, snatching the innate holy spirit from the tiger's mouth had already offended the Wiggins family. If he showed the full moon semi-artifact in the secret realm of the academy at this time, the number of saints who were eyeing him would probably be too many to count on one hand.

Melen was just trying to appease the Full Moon Semi-Artifact at this time.

The new consciousness of the Crescent Moon Semi-Artifact has been with Melen since its birth, and has been nurtured by his mental power. It has long been extremely well-behaved and obedient. The reason why it has not recognized Melen as its master until now is simply because it is limited by Melen's strength.

When the Crescent Moon semi-artifact sensed that Melen was locked in by three powerful auras and was in danger, it immediately revived on its own to get rid of these enemies. Melen naturally had to calm this "little guy" first, saying that he could handle it, and would take action when he couldn't beat him.

All of this sounds complicated, but it only happened in a very short time. When Melen let go of the Crescent Moon semi-artifact, Johnny's overwhelming tentacles were already within reach.

Vasco and Ella did not rush to attack, but instead acted as if to contain the enemy, as if they could launch a thundering attack at any time. This was much smarter than attacking directly and interfering with the already irrational Johnny.

"Ha!" Mellen chuckled and said to himself, "Old friend, it's time to fight side by side again."

"Soul synchronization!"
