The Death List Novel - Chapter 518
Chapter 518 A Dead End
Before Liv and the White Giant arrived, the battle in HELLSING Manor was in a balanced state. The Knights of the Round Table and the Vampires were close. Although the Saint Thorn Crown could restrain Alcatel, they were unable to win in a short period of time.
If he wanted to kill Alcatel, he had to let the Saint Thorn Crown pierce his heart. With the vampire’s combat experience, unless there was a big problem with his body, it was almost impossible for him to make such a mistake.
On the other hand, it was difficult for vampires to kill Lancelot. The Knight of the Round Table was not Father Andrewson. Over a thousand years, the Sacred Thorn Crown had completely fused into his body. From a certain perspective, the knights of the Round Table were even less like humans than vampires. They were more like a sacred object that possessed a human artifact soul.
Just like when dealing with Andrewson, crushing Lancelot’s heart was no longer enough to kill him unless he was reduced to ashes with a powerful weapon.
Qin Lun was weaker than Captain America, who was assisted by the S-Battle Police, in the other battalion in the manor. He could also survive for a period of time by relying on the Demon Transformation.
However, even though the four of them were in a stalemate, the weakest corner was undoubtedly Qin Lun. The Ice Flame Abyss Devils’ offensive abilities could harm the other three, but their defensive abilities were far inferior.
Alcatel and Lancelot were temporarily ignored. Even Captain America had the armor of the Super Alloy Shield and S-Men, so it was very difficult to kill them in one blow. Under such circumstances, the arrival of the White Giant had finally allowed the experienced American captain to seize the fighter jet.
The time flew by, and before Steve Rogers could even figure out what was going on, his body instinctively responded. The armor behind the S-men slid away like mercury, expelling Captain America from his body.
Steve’s figure flickered as he and the S-Men charged at Qin Lun, forming a triangular formation with White Giant behind the youth, strangling all escape routes.
At this moment, Qin Lun felt that the situation was out of his control for the first time, and he couldn’t help but feel a strong aura of death in his heart.
His eyes lit up. The intense stimulation caused his heart to beat violently at an unprecedented speed. Heat flowed up from his lower abdomen, and he even felt a strong urge to urinate.
Facing the moment of life and death, Qin Lun’s combat instinct defeated the calm planning for the first time. Without hesitation, he half-turned around and took a step back. He spread his left hand towards White Giant behind him.
“Kacha! Kacha!” With a series of crisp sounds, a patch of pure white frost spread all the way to the feet of the White Giant. Along the way, it was filled with tiny and sharp icicles.
What was even more surprising was that there were strands of fibrous vines inside the icicles. They grew out of the icicle without any hesitation, swaying slightly in the wind like dandelions swaying in the wind.
This was the first time Qin Lun had used this Hunter profession skill-Thorn Trap!
At this moment, the White Giant had already seen the attack launched by Captain America. He roared in understanding and took large strides towards Qin Lun. Even if his feet were pierced by an ice pick, he would not hesitate to scratch them.
However, every time he crushed the icicle, the vines that fluttered in the wind seemed to be freed from the icicle, growing thicker and thicker, and wrapped around the white giant’s calves. After tearing off a portion of the vines, the White Giant’s collision speed slowed down. In the end, it roared and was imprisoned in place, having to deal with these annoying plant traps first.
While using the Ice Flame Abyss Devil’s Ice Elemental Innate Skill and Thorn Trap to block the White Giant, Qin Lun’s right hand, which was wearing sacrificial gloves, also spread out towards Captain America. A bright flame suddenly appeared an inch in front of his palm.
From the very beginning, the flame’s needle-like shape instantly expanded to the size of a basketball. As the fireball changed from orange to dazzling white light, the surrounding temperature also increased rapidly, and the air emitted ripples visible to the naked eye.
“Boom!” Before the fireball could expand to its limit, Qin Lun, who possessed the talent for ice elementium, couldn’t take it anymore. He waved his hand and a blazing flame shot out from his palm towards Captain America like a fountain. This was Kieran’s last Magic Scroll stored in the sacrificial glove-Flame Burst.
Facing the blazing flames, Steve was slightly shocked and subconsciously blocked the superalloy shield in front of his chest.
Dang! Captain America felt an irresistible force coming from the shield, directly blowing him away from where he was, smashing him into the ruins in the distance, causing a cloud of dust to rise.
He stood up from the ground and was shocked to find a wisp of smoke coming out of the superalloy shield. Its surface was bright red. If this flame continued for a period of time, the shield that had followed him for decades would probably be crippled.
After blocking the White Giant and Captain America at the same time, Qin Lun had no time to react to the S-Battle Police’s attack. He didn’t even have time to make a self-protection gesture when he felt a sharp pain coming from behind him and was sent flying involuntarily.
The Ice Flame Abyss Devil’s enormous body was like a pebble drawing water. After jumping a few times on the cratered ground, it regained control and stood up in a sorry state.
“After all, intelligent machines are intelligent machines!” Glancing at the battle information on the death list, Qin Lun felt a burst of happiness in his heart. Although the S-Battle Police’s attack was aimed at his heart, it didn’t really cause him any serious injuries.
After transforming into the Ice Flame Abyss Devil, Qin Lun’s physique and defense had been greatly improved. In addition to the Earth Dragon Lizard’s leather armor and the Frost Aura’s passive defense, although his back was bloody, it was only a flesh wound. Not only did it not hurt his heart, but it also did not affect his movements.
“Are you all right!” A sandstorm swept over, transforming into a human form and blocking Qin Lun’s path. It was the Queen of the Sandstorm who could rush over. At the same time, Grant from the other direction also came to the side and stood side by side with the two of them.
“Gerthard!” White Giant had already broken free from the thorn trap. He roared and pounced towards Qin Lun again. However, he had just taken a step forward when his body tightened and was pulled by Captain America and Little Red Riding Hood who had rushed over at the same time.
“Steve, let me go!” White Giant waved his arm angrily.
“There’s no chance!” Captain America shook his head calmly, sighed, and pointed to the distant sky.
A few black dots flew over from a distance of one kilometer. Even though they were still far away, with their superhuman vision, they could clearly see the 10,000-character symbol on it. It was the helicopter sent by the Millennium Bug to pick up Qin Lun.
“Shoot them down with S-men!” Leo looked angrily at Captain America.
“No, if we miss the opportunity just now, we won’t be able to make another move.” Steve sighed and pointed at the hostage in Grant’s hand. “Liv said it was Miss Mira. We can’t watch her get killed by the enemy!”
White Giant felt as if he had been poured onto his head by a basin of ice water. His furious expression froze, and a trace of despair appeared in his eyes.
“Return Mila to me and I’ll let you leave!” Liv endured the pain and glared at Grant. She had already seen the Black Empress in Clown’s hands who had turned into an old woman. If it weren’t for Mila’s slightly heaving chest, she wouldn’t have been able to restrain herself.
Qin Lun and Grant exchanged glances and smiled. Their smiles were cold and heartless like steel, causing the hearts of the three people on the other side to sink.
Qin Lun glanced at the other battalion. Alcatel and Lancelot were still in a fierce battle. However, because the knights of the round table still had to cover for Sister Lily, who was curled up behind them, their fighting spirit had also decreased, and they had returned to a stalemate.
A distance of one kilometer was an instant for a high-speed helicopter. However, the helicopter that flew over the manor did not land. It only lowered a few rope ladders in the direction of Qin Lun and the others.
“Put down Miss Mila!” Captain America’s face sank as the S-Men covered his body again, their arms turning into huge muzzles aimed at the helicopter in the air.
Qin Lun smiled and nodded to Grant. Clown grabbed Mila by the neck with his left hand and lifted Mila up with one hand. It looked like he was going to throw her back to Liv.
However, just as the three of them heaved a sigh of relief and thought that the battle was over, Qin Lun’s cold laughter sounded in their ears. “We have never been used to compromising with the enemy. Kill her, Klug!”
“Kacha!” As Grant twisted his hand, Mila’s head tilted to one side at a strange angle. His ageing petite body twitched slightly and he finally swallowed his last breath.
“Mila (Miss Mila)!” The three people on the other side who were watching this scene felt a surge of heat rushing into their minds. With a boom, their minds went blank. When they regained their senses, it was as if an extremely long time had passed, and their eyes were filled with bloodlines.
“Boom!” Captain America didn’t hesitate any longer. The S-men’s guns turned red and shone, and beams of light shot towards the three helicopters in the air, directly turning them into three fireballs.
“Hahaha!” After taking away Mila’s Magic Cube, Qin Lun let out a burst of wild laughter. The Sandstorm Queen beside him once again melted sand, dragging him and Grant into it.
“Leo, you’re still so useless, you can’t even protect a woman!” Looking at White Giant on the ground, Qin Lun’s eyes flashed with a cold light as he sneered and provoked.
White Giant trembled, but the fury on his face calmed down strangely. He stretched out his long arm and grabbed one of them with one hand, lifting Captain America and Little Red Riding Hood Liv up.
“Leo, what are you doing?” Captain America and Little Red Riding Hood were both shocked.
“Captain, I’m sorry. I hope you’ll be safe next time!” Leo’s low voice became even calmer. “I can’t watch those people escape. I have to keep them here forever, even if I have to give my life.”
After saying that, White Giant opened his eyes angrily. Countless thick veins appeared on his body. His muscles rose high and he used all of his strength to throw Captain America and Liv into the distance.
Seeing his two companions quickly turn into two small dots in the air, White Giant suddenly raised his head and looked at the salad tornado in front of him. He gritted his teeth and revealed a sinister smile. His entire body suddenly expanded like a balloon.
“Quicksand Technique!” Watching White Giant’s strange body change, Grant curled his lips and tore open a Magic Scroll that he had already held in his hand without hesitation.
“Monica, now!” Hearing Qin Lun’s loud roar, the Sandstorm Queen, who had been reminded long ago, was surprised, but she still instinctively reacted. The salon scroll brought the two of them into the quicksand and fled deeper underground.
“Grant!” The three of them instantly disappeared from the ground, but Qin Lun’s voice was still filled with a sense of urgency.
“En!” Grant simply agreed. His huge body melted like butter, wrapping around the core of Qin Lun and the salon. The surface quickly turned purple-black and horny. It looked like an alloy ball made of steel.
“Boom!” Qin Lun was a little nervous in his excitement. With a loud noise coming from above his head, a tremor of the earth came from the surroundings.
However, before Qin Lun could comprehend it carefully, his facial features instantly lost all function and his consciousness fell into darkness. When he regained consciousness again, he immediately felt numb and unable to move.
After an unknown amount of time, Qin Lun finally felt the pain of going deep into his bone marrow. His entire body was in pain, and there were countless ants crawling in the depths of his bones. Waves of unbearable numbness made him almost faint.
“Pa!” After recovering a little bit of his strength, Qin Lun slowly stretched out his hand and shattered the darkness in front of him. A piece of roasted leather fell from his face and shone with a ray of light.
Qin Lun narrowed his eyes and endured the intense pain as he crawled out of the bright hole. The scenery in front of him was in a trance. His eyes seemed to have been heavily injured in the upheaval just now. Tears flowed out of his eyes along with a pool of blood, leaving two traces of blood on his dark face.
Turning around, he saw a black ball three meters in diameter behind him. However, the ball was emitting wisps of smoke. Its surface was completely carbonized, and it emitted a charred aura of barbecue meat.
He did not know when the demonic transformation had been removed. Although his clothes were intact, they turned into ashes as he moved and dissipated into the wind. Very quickly, apart from a few pieces of Apostle equipment, he didn’t have any other clothes on his body.
The leather trench coat of the Nars World had already become tattered due to its low quality. Her exposed body was like a roasted lobster, with a bright crimson hue. Her slightly curled gray skin was blown off like a paper butterfly by the wind.
Just climbing out of the carbonized black ball made Qin Lun feel extremely exhausted. Threads of blood seeped out from under his skin, making him look like a skinned bloodman. Qin Lun’s hands trembled as he barely managed to take out the Ferry Fruit from his storage space and swallowed it with a bottle of nectar that restored his energy and stamina. His broken throat was burped into a burp of pain.
“Monica, Grant” After a moment of daze, Qin Lun’s consciousness finally regained consciousness. His dry and cracked lips moved slightly and he let out a hoarse shout.
“Gerthard!” A weak response came from the black ball. A mass of quicksand wriggled out of the black ball, revealing the weak face of the Sandstorm Queen with her eyes closed.
“Don’t move!” Qin Lun forcefully propped himself up, took off his leather trench coat and wrapped up the quicksand. After thinking for a while, he climbed two more steps into the black ball and picked up a purple-black sarcoma that was as small as a ping-pong ball. There was a layer of moist mucous membrane on the surface of the sarcoma. After a long time, it would slightly stir, like a small heart.
This was the core of Grant’s body after he abandoned the virus. If it weren’t for this, he would probably be dead by now. Qin Lun poured a recovery injection on the sarcoma and put it into his leather armor, feeling a little relieved. Since his equipment hadn’t disappeared, Grant shouldn’t have died. He was probably too heavily injured and fell into a deep slumber.
“This is really powerful. I almost killed myself.” Qin Lun scanned his surroundings with his blurry eyes and couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
HELLSING Manor had completely disappeared. Looking down from the sky, a large pit hundreds of meters in diameter appeared around their position. This place had become a desert that could only be seen in the desert. The original manor vestibule had even partially crystallized.
In his first battle with the White Giant, Qin Lun had thought about the direction Leo had chosen to evolve. He discovered that he had greatly increased his strength and defense, but had not made any arrangements for his flexible movement technique.
Leo was a highly intelligent doctor of biochemistry, so it was hard to imagine that he would come to Qin Lun for a one-on-one duel without any preparation. From this, it could be deduced that he should have another trump card. He was absolutely confident that he could kill his enemies.
Combined with the evolution direction of the White Giant and the research resources he had, it was easy for Qin Lun to deduce that this was a ranged attack. It was very likely that it was a high-tech bomb. Only then would he have nowhere to escape with his agile movements.
After thinking through Rio’s trump card, Qin Lun had deliberately used the fog technique to isolate the two sides’ line of sight, so that White Giant wouldn’t have the space to use the bomb. Then, he deliberately led White Giant to HELLSING Manor.
He wanted to use Leo’s trump card to clear out the superhumans in the manor and earn a huge profit for himself. Leaving Black Empress Mira, who was on the verge of death, and provoking and provoking Leo at the last moment, he was trying to force White Giant to use this trump card.
In Kieran’s deduction, the only thing he underestimated was Leo’s determination to avenge his wife. He only thought that the White Giant had greatly increased its defensive capabilities in order to resist the damage caused by the bomb.
If that was the case, Grant, as an MT, should have had time to use absolute defense to block the attack, but he didn’t expect Leo to lose his life in order to take revenge.
Keller’s unusually tragic manner of death made Leo’s hatred in his heart not only not dissipate, but become even more intense in the past few decades. What he prepared was not an ordinary high-power bomb, but a miniature nuclear bomb planted in his body. This was also his last means of revenge.
Luckily, Qin Lun and Grant were well prepared, and because of the few seconds between launching the bomb, Monica was temporarily forced to use quicksand to dozens of meters underground. Otherwise, with Grant’s absolute defense alone, the two of them would probably have died long ago.
“Then it’s time to see what we get!” Qin Lun looked around with lingering fear, and a smile appeared on his face.
Although his vision was a little blurry and black dust floated in the air like willows, Qin Lun quickly found a pure white Magic Cube nearby. It should belong to the White Giant Leo.
“What else?” Qin Lun stared at the surroundings with bloodshot eyes.
