Chapter 1560 - 800: Heroes and Beasts (Part 2)
Every advance and charge was like the opening and closing of a giant mouth, every clash and slaughter, like reckless chewing, with countless fragments flying out from the giant mouth.
[Slaughter's Mouth]!
In the essence of Slaughter and the Legion, one of Legion's aspects in the mortal world surprisingly manifested in the struggle between two craftsmen.
Likewise, the craftsman once dubbed the iron warlord, ruler of innumerable Hero Seeds, gradually grew grim—the shallow creations that seemed utterly insignificant on their own dared to confront him by sheer numbers?!
"Showing off before an expert, clueless!"
Darcey clenched the scepter entwined with blood light and darkness, issuing a command to the heroes: "Crush these dregs for me!"
The blood flames of Slaughter surged, intensifying with the oncoming battle and slaughter, gathered from the countless Dragon Blood Army, falling upon the heroes.
Under the blessing of Circle Realm·Dusk, giants rose from the ground, wielding swords, evolving once more, becoming even more ferocious in the burning of black flame and blood fire.
With a burst of thunder, the hero Fubuti, enveloped in dazzling lightning, unleashed a torrent, effortlessly incinerating countless mermaids ahead, easily carving a straight path through the dense steel tide.
Immediately, Surtr swung the flame-shaped sword, like a sharp arrow, advancing straight toward Ji Jue, breaking through layer by layer, penetrating section by section.
The accumulation of the legacy from Beifeng of old reemerged from the war, and Heroic Spirits, born solely for war, easily reversed the situation, advancing forward witheringly.
No matter how the mermaids desperately lunged, they couldn't stop them even for a step.
The Dragon Blood Army roared zealously, growing ever more fervent.
The moment the heroes stepped onto the battlefield, the victory and defeat were already destined!
Even if shattered and battered, death looming step by step, under the pull of countless mermaids, Helrenir still thundered forward, glaring intently at the nearby Ji Jue.
Leaping into the air!
Ignoring the Mercury Spear piercing around, the battle-axe in hand roared, chopping down!
Toward that indifferent face.
Alas, so close yet so far.
The attempt fell short of success.
But it didn't matter, more heroes were rushing along the path he had paved from behind, unhesitatingly launching another assault.
In that instant, reaching out to the dying Helrenir, Ji Jue stretched out his hand once more.
Snap!
Darcey's expression stiffened for a moment.
With Helrenir's death, his Hero Seed did not return again; instead, under the control of Siegfried's Ring, gradually, it lost its response!
It seemed just like, it went out of control!
Seized from his grasp by an invisible hand...
"Ah, so that's how it is."
Ji Jue nodded, realizing with a light sigh, "I understand now!"
At this moment, not only Darcey but even Yellow Beard outside the field widened his eyes, the corners of his eyes almost cracking: Bastard, what the hell have you understood again!!!
Because in Ji Jue's hand, the outline of a Hero Seed faintly appeared.
The seed, supposed to return to the King of Heroes, astonishingly extracted from the husk vessel by Ji Jue, held in his hand, wantonly examined, appreciated, played with.
"No wonder it felt off, the details never quite matched what I learned from the Great Craftsman... so, it wasn't even the same thing anymore?"
Ji Jue muttered, talking to himself, in his hand, the fierce frenzied Heroic Spirit continued to resist, seeking to devour.
Just a pity, all its former dignity and valiant spirit were gone.
Like a former hero drowning in indulgence and excess, lost in daily revelries, gone mad in endless battles.
Unaware of the downfall, unconsciously sinking, unable to stop the decay and distortion.
Long past, unrecognizable!
In this state, what could be called a hero?!
"The title of hero hardly befits your current form,"
Ji Jue lowered his eyes coldly, disdainfully gazing at the 'heroes' within reach: "Since you've fallen to beasts, then show your claws and fangs proudly in the guise of beasts..."
Now, Siegfried's Ring abruptly shook.
[Helrenir], out of control!
Accompanied by the sound of breaking chains, the hero long since fallen to a beast, finally showed its fierce appearance!
In Ji Jue's hand, the Hero Seed shattered, a sharp layer of mercury and iron emerged out of nowhere, transforming into a wildly craving beast with rugged edges!
In the blink of an eye, the rebirth was complete!
Boom!!!
The falling flame-shaped sword struck the scales, rebounded, as blood flames soared, the reborn beast slowly turned its head, looking at its former companions.
No hesitation on the beastly face, opened its mouth, inhaled deeply, spewed out blood flames, roaring loudly, endless black flames gushing from its mouth, pierced Surtr's face.
Then, its giant mouth opened wide, biting the fallen hero in half, chewing wantonly!
Unable to compare with a dragon, at best a grotesque, ugly lizard, much less a hero, just a monster lost in itself.
At this moment, it finally revealed its true form.
As if laughing madly, crying out in hunger.
Helrenir brandished its claws, moved its body, pouncing back at the reborn heroes!
And behind it, Surtr crumbled apart.
