Chapter 539 - Massacre 1
-----
SLASH! SLASH!
Ervas and Veronica's heads suddenly were cut down by the power of three Heroic Gods and the powerful S-Ranked assassins!
Splash!
A rain of blood fell over everyone, as the motionless bodies of the split souls remained standing still… However, their eyes glared at the scene as their heads rested over the ground while bleeding.
"How dull…
" they thought.
The two used their super-fast thought processing to inspect these two assassins, who had cut their heads swiftly due to their consent, just to make a bigger scene and make these idiots think they won.
Just as they thought, the shadow assassin who merged with the shadow of Ervas was a guy named Gregor, the Eye of Shadows, a small secret group of assassins that belonged to the Empire of Bestellen… they were rather strong, maybe a bit less than the Five Constellations.
He had the amazingly useful ability to merge with shadows and had been the one that spied their fight against Graham, who had managed to slip off them barely.
Meanwhile, the woman with ice, a slim body, and rather enchanting beauty, with pale-white skin, long azure hair, and clear diamond-like eyes were named Catrina, the Eye of Frost, another of the Nine Eyes, they didn't know much of her, but she was comparable to Gregor in some ways… She was able to use her ice to make illusions with her icy winds and somehow make herself invisible by reflecting the light with her icy fog. It was a strange unique ability.
"Hm? It seems that they died?
" asked Gregor.
"Indeed, that woman wasn't really a living armor as some had thought, that's authentic blood,
" said Catrina, licking the blood off her blade.
"Your performance was excellent, you were really just as amazing as the Head Priest had said,
" said Robert.
"Indeed, just like that, they're out of the picture I guess, time to go back home,
" said Loid.
Catrina impaled the head of Veronica with her blade and raised it to see her face, she struck immediately as quite the sadistic…
"Fufu, look at her face… Eh?
"
"Boo!
"
Suddenly, Veronica's pale-white head which was being impaled from the forehead by Catrina's ice blade spoke!
Catrina was so shocked she screamed in horror and dropped her blade.
"WHAAAAAAAAAT?!
"
Catrina fell over her butt like a pathetic young girl as Gregor's eyes immediately glanced at Veronica's floating head, which still had the blade encrusted on her forehead… there was a little blue flame coming out of her bloody neck.
The other paladin's eyes were almost sticking out of their sockets, while Robert and Loid were just as terrified. They had fought countless undead before, but never someone whose head was clearly cut off its body and also impaled by a blade and still be somehow alive and floating! And all of that while releasing blood from all her wounds! It was truly creepy!
"What the heck?! Y-You're alive! So you're Undead then?! How can a Dhampir survive being beheaded? Not even a Vampire would survive that!
" said Gregor in shock.
Albert and Loid were slow, so Gregor immediately leaped towards Veronica to finish her off, perhaps cutting her head into many pieces would do the trick!
However, a sudden slimy tentacle grasped Gregor's leg so tight that it broke the leg's bones!
CRACK!
"UUUAAAAGGH…! EEEH?!
"
Gregor glanced down below as the culprit was Ervas head, who had extended his blood and manipulated it through Bloodrule and the Anir's Blood Sap Fragment, making it into a sticky, sweet, and slimy blood that could be easily manipulated.
"Boo!
" said Ervas, as Gregor's eyes grew with desperation, his leg was broken after all!
"G-Get off me!
" cried Gregor, as he raised his Heroic God-possessed blades to slash through Ervas slimy blood!
CLASH!
However, even the power of two Heroic Gods together was not… able to slice through Ervas blood?!
"NNNGH…!
"
Gregor roared as he used many skills, spells, and techniques at the same time within a split of a second, releasing a powerful slashing cross using both of his daggers!
SLASH!
Finally, as he used everything he had, he cut down the blood tentacle!
"Hahh…!
"
Gregor began to jump with a single leg, trying to dive into the shadows and escape! He wasn't going to battle such ridiculous beings! With these two little things, the two had already proven that they were insanely powerful and held mysterious powers that could even rival the power of two heroic gods at the same time!
However, Ervas head was faster, as well as his beheaded body, which extended its blood like tentacles and caught Gregor in a mass of coagulated and sappy blood.
"UUAAGGH…! STOP! LET ME GO!
" cried Gregor like a little girl, but Ervas head flew towards him, glaring at his eyes!
"I have more than one hundred ways to kill you, but I will choose none. Instead…
" said Ervas, as he suddenly used Mindflayer to attack Gregor's mind, while he inserted his blood tentacles inside of Gregor's ears and brainwashed him!
"NNNGNGGRAARRGGH…!
"
Gregor suddenly was left free, as he glanced at Ervas with horror, his body began to move against his will!
"Kill yourself,
" said Ervas.
"W-What? No… You can't… Eh?! GGYYEEEEEGGHH?!
"
Gregor screamed in utmost despair as his own arms began to move against his will, using his powerful god-infused daggers to slice through his throat, as blood spurted all over the place!
SLAAASH!
"Nnggaaaggh…! Ggeeeggh…!
"
Gregor groaned in agony as he was losing blood, he was an S-Rank Adventurer in power, so he had so much HP, enough to make him survive even with his throat sliced open for a few seconds if he had any potion at hand…
And he had, but Ervas didn't let him grab any.
"Die like the miserable assassin you are,
" said Ervas.
Gregor's last moments were with his eyes glancing at Ervas red-shot eyes, his floating head which had dozens of bloody tentacles coming out of his sliced neck was truly the thing of nightmares! His mind was easily broken into pieces, and when his soul came out of his body, it was already kneeling before Ervas.
Meanwhile…
