The Death List Novel - Chapter 436
Chapter 436 Luck
“Creak!” The Hellfire Devil Hound’s sharp fangs clenched onto the Undead Centaur’s body, as if it had bitten an ice cube, making an unpleasant sound of friction. At this moment, Cyberus had already reached the peak of the Sixth Order. He was as big as an elephant, and with his bite power, he was helpless against the centaurs.
Although the centaur’s fists continuously bombarded the rubble that fell from the roof of the hall, it still responded to the Hellfire Devil Hound’s attack. A pair of thick front hooves lifted and kicked Cyberus hard on the chin.
“Bang!” The Hellfire Devil Hound was instantly kicked flying, smashing into the ground like a giant meteor, causing the entire hall to tremble.
“What kind of creature is this?” Everyone was stunned when they saw Cyberlus’ ferocious and terrifying heads.
“It’s Ferrari. He said that his summoned beast is an abyss creature!” Elistine’s eyes lit up and he happily grabbed Milleras’s arm. He raised his head to look at the opening in the hall’s dome. His eyes slowly blurred as he muttered to himself with joy and sorrow, “He’s back! He’s finally back!”
“This isn’t an ordinary abyss creature. It seems to have the bloodline of a Flame Devil.” Milleras looked at the faint flames beneath Cyberus’s body. His expression was cautious, but he was a little confused. “I’ve never heard of a spatial rift connecting Ferren to the Abyss Plane. Ferral, where did you catch this summoned beast from?”
Cyberus staggered to his feet, shook his head, and grinned at the centaur. The Hellfire Devil Dog’s skin was thick and its resilience was strong. It could turn other creatures into minced meat on the spot, but it was nothing to it.
As the battle progressed, the undead centaur’s movements became more and more skilled, as if the battle instincts engraved in the depths of the undead’s body were beginning to awaken. The soul flame in its eyes jumped and slightly bent its elbow. It no longer bombarded the rubble. It opened its fist and supported a basin-sized obsidian. It was about to throw itself at Cyberus, who had fallen to the ground.
“Without self-consciousness, there’s actually such a powerful instinctive reaction!”
Kieran’s pupils shrank as he raised his hand without hesitation. He struck the centaur’s right elbow, causing the centaur to tilt slightly. The basin-sized rubble could be smashed against the Hellfire Devil Hound’s side.
Cyberlas was shocked and quickly jumped off the spot. He also looked at Elistine and the others at the edge of the field with curiosity.
After the centaurs cleared the falling rocks, their bodies began to fall. With a curve of their hooves, they stood unscathed beneath the obelisk and gracefully circled around it.
In the next moment, it immediately welcomed a storm-like baptism. The black and white bullets fired by the light and darkness funeral procession were like lightning chains in the air. The centaur’s ice fragments flew everywhere, and with its defensive power, it could not help but retreat.
Qin Lun jumped down from the hole in the dome and raised his two spears in front of him, expressionlessly shooting at his opponent.
‘”Ah ~ ~ ~” The centaurs roared and used their arms to cover their faces as they flew towards Qin Lun with a barrage of bullets.
“Humph!” A cold light flashed in Qin Lun’s eyes as he issued an order in his mind. In order to further verify his thoughts, he even stopped shooting. For a moment, there was a brief calm in the underground hall, leaving only the clear sound of centaurs knocking on the ground.
Chi! A discordant ear-piercing sound suddenly mixed with the sound of horse hooves, as if someone had used a steel needle to cut through the glass, causing everyone to feel a burst of toothache. Although this voice was very soft, the centaur that was galloping was struck by lightning. It suddenly stopped and even staggered slightly because it was too sudden.
The centaurs suddenly turned around and looked at the obelisk. At some unknown time, a big cat with a tanned fur appeared. It was slowly scratching the flat surface of the obelisk with its front claws.
“Let me see what you will choose now!” Qin Lun narrowed his eyes and landed on the ground. He bent his knees to relieve his strength and stood in front of the centaur. The big cat beneath the obelisk was his other summoning object. The hunting companion that Elistine had found for him, the Dark Wind Leopard Venus, was none other than the Dark Wind Leopard.
Venus had both the Shadow Leopard and Gale Leopard talents. In fact, he had just jumped off Cyberlus. It was only because he had used the Shadow Stealth skill that the undead centaurs, who were slow to perceive, hadn’t discovered him.
Without the slightest hesitation, the centaur immediately abandoned Qin Lun, who was not far from him, and turned around to pounce on Venus.
“Haha, that’s right!” Qin Lun’s expression relaxed as a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
“Cyberlas!” Seeing the centaurs being taken away by Venus, Qin Lun sneered.
The Hellfire Devil Hound received the order and immediately pounced forward. However, it wasn’t heading in the direction of Centaur and Venus. Instead, it approached the obelisk and pressed its alms-sized claws against it.
“Hiss!” As soon as Cyberus pressed his claws on the obelisk, a wisp of white smoke rose from the surface of the stele. As the Hellfire Devil Hound’s grade and size changed, the skin texture on its body began to possess some of the characteristics of a Flame Devil.
Cyberlas’ skin had turned dark red, and his body was covered in a layer of lava filled with cracks. Occasionally, blazing balls of fire would drip from the cracks.
Although the obelisk that recorded Uviron’s inheritance had some magical defensive runes, it was clearly unable to withstand the destruction of the Hellfire Devil Hound. Soon, a pitch black dog paw mark was left on the obelisk.
The centaur abandoned the Shadow Gale Leopard once again and pounced towards Cyberlus. Just as he was about to catch up with the slow Hellfire Devil Hound, another ear-piercing sound came from behind him.
Looking at the undead centaurs who had been teased by the Shadow Gale Leopard and the Hellfire Devil Hound, Elistine and the others were dumbfounded. Only Milleras looked at the scratches and dog paw marks on the obelisk’s surface, and the corners of his mouth twitched as he felt great heartache.
“Can you still leave?” Qin Lun quickly walked to everyone’s side, his face revealing a trace of apology. He extended his hand to support Elistine and asked softly.
“En!” Elistine nodded, but two lines of tears hung down his cheeks. He closed his eyes and put his head on Qin Lun’s shoulder, revealing a relieved smile.
“Cut!” Idrea curled her lips, but didn’t say anything else. No matter how much she looked down on Qin Lun’s escape, at least everyone owed him a life now.
…
“Bang!” A sparkling pentagram mirror flashed under Qin Lun’s feet, and the elemental explosion sent him up the obsidian dome again. The young man put down Emily and looked around. Elistine, Lorraine, Idrea, and Emily were all sent up one after another, and there was only one Milleras left at the bottom of the hall.
As Qin Lun rescued everyone, the centaurs became extremely manic. The Dark Shadow Gale Leopard and the Hellfire Devil Hound were starting to lose control of it. The undead stayed close to the obelisk, ignoring the two summoned beasts. They would occasionally watch Qin Lun’s rescue operation, and the soul flames in their eyes became even more intense.
Under such circumstances, Venus and Cyberus could no longer approach the obelisk, so they could only rely on Milleras’ long-range attacks to attract the attention of the centaurs. However, compared to the previous attacks of the Fairy Prince of Qi Ri, the arrows he shot this time were soft and weak, and they were often staggered a foot away from the obelisk.
“Milleras, it’s been hard work. You can go up as well!” Qin Lun jumped down the hall again and smiled as he walked to Prince Sun Fairy’s side.
“Ferrari, everyone owes you a favor this time. I didn’t expect that so many of us wouldn’t be able to see that the Obelisk of Uviron is the weakness of this centaur!” Milleras stared at Qin Lun and sighed deeply.
Milleras had always been very proud of his peers, but this time, Qin Lun’s performance gave him a sense of defeat for the first time.
Qin Lun turned to look at the centaurs lingering below the obelisk and shook his head. This couldn’t be blamed on Milleras and the others. It was only after he calmed down that he thought of this possibility from the arrangement of the underground hall.
The underground hall was empty except for the obelisk and the sarcophagus. The layout of the entire hall was clearly aimed at the obelisk, which could be seen from the obsidian simulated starry sky.
Although being the Demigod’s backup body, the Demigod Centaurs were very important, but it was a bit abrupt for the Demigod to place it here. If it was only to hide this avatar, it could completely hide the undead centaur’s sarcophagus in a smaller secret chamber.
With this analysis, one could understand that the purpose of the Centaurs appearing here was to protect the Obelisk of Uviron and to kill and expel the intruders who had intruded into the underground hall at the same time.
After Milleras and the others were cut off, they had been in battle, so there was no time to think. Moreover, in the beginning, the centaurs were trapped in the sarcophagus, giving them the illusion that they could be easily killed. As a result, the misunderstandings in their minds deepened, and they didn’t wake up until Qin Lun returned.
Thinking about it now, Qin Lun and the others should be quite lucky. If it weren’t for the fact that he possessed the Evil Dagger and the Dark Light Burial Gear, these two apostle equipment that greatly restrained his spiritual body, they wouldn’t have been able to instantly kill two spirits with independent consciousness.
If the two ghosts had released the centaurs alive, even Qin Lun would not have been able to escape from the underground hall smoothly, let alone come back to save everyone.
“Filar, are you planning to kill this undead now?” “If that’s the case, I’ll stay with you!” Milleras asked dully.
“I haven’t decided yet!” Qin Lun hesitated for a moment before frowning. “The Demigod Lich attaches more importance to the Obelisk of Uviron than we imagined. Since he has arranged a legendary body here, he should have already received the news and is probably heading back!”
“It’s precisely because of this that it is impossible for us Sun Elves or your Moon Elves to find this obelisk again!” Milleras pursed his lips and said, “Feral, this is the last chance for the elves to obtain the Uviron Inheritance …”
Qin Lun fell silent. After a long while, he finally raised his head and said, “It’s not easy for the two of us to kill the centaurs. You have to listen to me next!”
“Alright, no problem!” Milleras’ eyes lit up as he agreed.
