Ring of Fate

Chapter 819 "Dark Forest" (Thanks to Mr. O of Aurora Club for rewarding the Silver Alliance again and again)

Lumian's figure quickly outlined the edge of the neighborhood destroyed by the volcanic eruption, and he cast his eyes towards the place where the violent explosion occurred.

The road there collapsed into a huge pit, and wisps of fog filled the air, but it was not thick enough.

The figure of Albus Medici jumped out of the huge pit, followed closely by a three or four meter tall iron soldier holding a blazing white spear with blue flames.

Lumian transformed into a shadow creature once again, blending into the darkness of the street that the firelight could not illuminate.

He planned to take a look at the situation on the scene before deciding what to do.

Almost at the same time, he saw a figure walking out of the huge pit. The figure was half blended into the night and half illuminated by the firelight. He had long hair draped over his shoulders, a high chest, and a belly that was obviously swollen as if he had drunk too much beer.

At first glance, Lumian recognized the figure as Gu Xin from the profile that looked much softer and had a maternal glow.

"Guxin turned into a girl? And she's pregnant?" Lumian was stunned at first, but then he understood what was going on.

He remembered that among the seasonings he added to the altar oil lamp were a bit of rage potion and bark potion, both of which came from the "Night Tour Party" and were the product of the power bestowed by the "Great Mother".

“The person who performed the secret ceremony using that oil lamp was Gusin?

"He can use the mirror world to a certain extent, which means that part of the knowledge and power he obtained through the secret ceremony belongs to the 'witch' path. The 'witch' path is strongly related to 'female' in mysticism. So, under the condition that the divine effect of the corpse oil candle amplified the 'witch' experience, the violent potion and bark potion allowed Gu Xin's secret ceremony to connect to the 'Great Mother', resulting in the current change?
“It’s quite interesting…”

Lumian watched Albus Medici fight the mother version of Gusin and the iron soldiers whose strength was obviously stronger than the previous puppets, and had no intention of "helping" either side right now.

Of course, the “hunter” will wait until the most critical moment before taking action!

Frankly speaking, if Albus Medici hadn't taken away the head of the "abscessed hand", Lumian didn't want to kill him right now. Even if Vanak's bait plan was a great success and Albus and Guxin fell into the trap, he might find a chance to let Albus escape.

This is to maintain a balance.

Before completing his studies, Lumian didn't want to see any of his competitors dominate.

That would very likely cause the situation to change suddenly, forcing him to enter the underground mausoleum early before he had finished reading the books provided by Archbishop Heraberg of Morola.

So, Lumian watched the battle, patiently waiting for the opportunity to get the clue of the "abscessed hand" brain from Albus Medici, while appreciating Gu Xin's changes and the terrifying iron soldier with a relaxed attitude.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The battles of the "Hunters" were always carried out in violent explosions. The buildings, whose foundations had been hollowed out and whose walls had been damaged by the previous volcanic eruptions, collapsed one after another, filling the air with thick smoke and dust.

Albus Medici seized an opportunity, jumped into the air, condensed a straight sword of blazing white and blue flames, and slashed it fiercely on the iron soldier's head.

Boom!

The straight sword exploded, blowing the iron soldier's head apart on the spot.

But the iron soldier did not collapse because of this. Instead, Gu Xin's right face instantly became sunken and deflated, becoming extremely deformed.

The next second, Gu Xin's skull and muscles squirmed and expanded rapidly, quickly returning to their original state.

Along with this change, the Iron Soldier's head also healed rapidly.

“This… the self-healing power from the Great Mother path and a quality similar to the Sword of Courage that helps to bear damage? Not only can it bear damage, but it can also share its own abilities?” Lumian’s scalp tingled as he watched.

What kind of monster did the "additives" I put in create...

Upon seeing this, Albus immediately transformed into a spear of blazing white flame, whizzed past the collapsed buildings, and distanced himself from the Iron Soldier and Gu Xin.

Then, thick fog spread around him, covering the streets within a radius of several dozen meters.

Seeing this scene, Lumian's eyelids twitched slightly.

He felt that Albus Medici wanted to run.

If it were him, he would run too!

Facing the mutated Gu Xin and the iron-clad soldiers who were almost demigods, if they were not careful they would suffer heavy damage and die on the spot. Even if they won the battle with great effort, they would definitely not be able to remain intact. Next they would most likely have to face the villains who had heard the noise and rushed over. In this case, it would be better to say goodbye to these two monsters and leave them, who were obviously crazy and could no longer abide by the corresponding rules of Morola, to the law enforcement team or even the forces reserved by the Church of Knowledge to deal with.

The enemy's death is a good ending, it doesn't matter who kills him.

As the fog of war formed, Lumian saw a figure appear on top of the nearby ruins.

That was Vanak with iron-black eyes and blood-red hair.

He took a step forward, raised his hands, raised his head, and looked up at the gloomy dark sky, as if praying to the gods.

Woo!
The weather in Morola, which is already changeable and extreme, suddenly blew up a hurricane, which uprooted some trees and formed a wind vortex that seemed to connect to the sky not far away.

Woo! The hurricane forcefully blew away the fog of war, exposing the changed position of Albus Medici to Lumian and the others.

"A hurricane that can affect the entire city? This is definitely something that only a demigod can do. Even demigods with weaker strength can't do it... Well, there is also the abnormal weather in Morola, which is prone to extreme conditions, and the relationship between Vanak and '0-01'. It's not as scary as I thought..." Lumian's eyes condensed, and his thoughts raced as he found that Julie, wearing a cotton nightgown, emerged from the shadows more than ten meters away from Albus.

The "witch" held a mirror in her hand, reflecting Albus's image for a small part.

"Julie took action now, and cooperated with Vanak very tacitly?" Lumian was surprised at first, but then he understood why.

This is because all the ambushers present were keenly aware that Albus was in trouble, so without any prior agreement, they tacitly made the same choice:

That is to raid Albus and add a few steel nails to the lid of his coffin to make it more secure!
"This is the rule of the game, the rule of the fight between 'hunters' and 'witches': in the absence of strong constraints such as notarized documents, everyone can freely form alliances and constantly reverse their positions, but if anyone shows a disadvantage in this 'game', then all the remaining people will immediately target him and join forces to deal with him, so as not to give him a chance to recover..." Lumian saw with enlightenment that Julie raised her right hand covered with the witch's black flame and wiped it on the surface of the mirror that reflected part of Albus's figure.

Almost at the same time, Albus instantly burned up and turned into red flames that shot out in all directions.

Part of these flames were stained with a pitch-black color, becoming quiet from being brilliant, and finally fell to the ground, falling into an underground cave where the fog of war was still rising.

The remaining red flames reunited a dozen meters away, forming Albus' body.

His breath was obviously much weaker.

A blazing white light suddenly flashed in his eyes.

It was a spear of blazing white flame that shot out from the shadows.

This came from Lumian, who also joined in the beating of the drowning dog.

Seeing this, Albus let his blood-red short hair instantly burn, extending downwards, as if turning into long hair that reached his vest.

His face was faintly iron-black.

boom!
The blazing white flaming spear exploded on its own before hitting him, like a blooming firework.

Lumian's figure then appeared behind Albus, his eyes appearing silver-white with black.

He swung his fist at Albus.

The fist moved slower and slower, as if it was gradually shouldering an extremely heavy fate.

Lumian was trying to swap Albus' fate.

Of course, he didn't expect this to be successful. He just wanted to use this ability to quickly browse the corresponding fate of Albus and find the fragments related to the head of the "abscessed hand" to discover the whereabouts of the target object.

For him, this is the most important thing at the moment.

The long, illusory river of mercury composed of complex symbols quickly came into Lumian's eyes, and with the "touch" of his fist, countless fragments of fate materialized, surging forward.

Lumian completely ignored everything else and quickly searched for his target according to the approximate time node.

In the blink of an eye, a fragment of fate enlarged before his eyes:
Albus carried the rotten, dark blue head of the "abscessed hand" and walked to the entrance of the underground mausoleum. He threw it in from a distance, letting it make a bang-bang-bang sound inside, and it bounced like a ball to who knows where...

"In the underground mausoleum? No wonder I couldn't sense it... He's really good at hiding... He's really good at provoking..." At this moment, Lumian suddenly felt that killing Albus here was not a bad thing.

This kid really knows how to make people angry!
The next second, before he could exchange his fate, he lost the trace of Albus's mercury river of fate.

When this member of the Medici family discovered that Lumian appeared behind him and tried to attack, he immediately transformed himself into a blazing spear of white flame and flew out of the ruins.

The iron soldier created a group of fiery crows that were white and blue, and had them chase the flaming spear as if they had life. Gu Xin raised his neck, ready to let out a sharp scream without distinguishing between friend and foe.

Julie disappeared into the darkness again, but thick gray-white spider silk appeared in front of and on both sides of the blazing white flaming spear that Albus transformed into. They were intertwined to form an extremely resilient "fishing net", waiting for Albus to crash into it.

Before the howling hurricane had subsided, Vanak leaped into the air, condensed a huge sword that was white and blue, waiting to jump and chop Albus.
