Industrial Cthulhu, starting from the island lord

Chapter 45 Let our blood flow together!
Ash gritted her teeth and stared at the short girl, then turned to look at Zeus. She was ready to terminate the symbiotic contract.

She should have died the moment she floated to the surface of the sea, but her strong physique allowed her to survive until she met Zeus.

He changed the fate of the cursed, and she pledged her loyalty to him.

Now, it's time for her to die.

In the sea not far away, Nini was hitting her head in pain.

If only she were as strong as Ash.

Just now, she could only watch everything happen. When Ash was stabbed, her heart was broken, but she could only watch in the sea, not even daring to lift a finger.

Ash's blood spilled into the sea, the fishy-sweet blood mixed with the bitter tears, she would never forget that taste.

If only she was as powerful as Ash.

She was too weak, she couldn't do anything.

Ash glanced at her and gave her a weak smile.

She knew what Ash meant. The contract was terminated. The moment Ash died, she would take Hughes away. If the foreign woman succeeded, they might still be able to stay on Castel Island. If not,
She closed her eyes. Ash was right. Wherever Hughes was, that was home.

"sorry."

The trembling sound drifted in the waves.

Monica was covered in horrible pollution. She was getting bigger and bigger. The huge pollution was gathering rapidly, and soon nothing could stop her.

The last time I saw the two-legged fish was at the bottom of the sea. He is an interesting person and knows a lot of interesting things.

I wanted to hear him tell some stories about land.

It seems there is no chance.

On land, it's not fun at all.

"I'm sorry," she murmured in her mind.

No one noticed that on her twisted body and ugly face, a tear slipped from the corner of her eye and flowed into her ferocious giant mouth.

It turns out that tears on land are also so bitter.

Nora was slowly gathering all her strength, and she felt very good.

The body is so light. As expected, the moment of death is the most powerful moment for the buryer. Unfortunately, it only lasts for this moment.

However, the believers of White Crow finally found a home, and the refugees were able to survive.

Hughes, you'd better keep your promise, otherwise I'll crawl out of the grave to find you!
That was about it, Nora closed her eyes.

Unfortunately, this scene cannot be written in the diary.

The Silent Temple does not believe in tears, only blood slid from the corners of Nora's eyes.

This will be her end——

What?
Time seemed to have stopped at this moment. Everyone was struggling with all their might, courage was intertwined with blood and tears, and mortals were quietly waiting for the judgment of fate.

But the next moment, a weak but firm voice sounded in everyone's ears.

"Stop, I have a way!" Zeus stood up with the help of the reef. His whole body was shaking unconsciously, but his eyes were surprisingly bright.

Noila was subconsciously stunned for a moment. The gathered power lost its guidance and scattered with a bang. Her face changed: "Oh no!!"

The next second, she was knocked away by Monica, who had transformed into a monster, and her life or death was unknown.

The monster slowly turned and looked towards the cave.

"Hold her for a moment!" Xius shouted with a ferocious look on his face.

Nini was stunned for a moment, gritted her teeth and was about to rush out, but the huge monster suddenly stopped.

boom! !

There was a gunshot.

Under the moonlight, everyone's eyes turned to the back of the monster.

The old butler, Connor, was riding on horseback. He had somehow circled behind the monster. "Master, can I borrow your gun?"

His left hand was holding the reins, and the white musket in his right hand was emitting a faint smoke. It was the one that Hughes had never fired.

"Connor!" Hughes felt his eyes warm.

The monster that Monica transformed into slowly turned around, looked down at Connor, and then rushed over with a roar.

"drive!"

Connor threw the reins and leaned against the horse's back. The horse neighed and carried him in an arc, leading Monica into the distance.

"Old friend, we are going to fight side by side again." Connor looked at the rifle in his hand and smiled with relief.

The roar gradually faded away.

Monica was led away and the cave became quiet.

Knowing that time was precious, Zeus immediately shouted to Ash, "Don't cancel the contract."

Ash was stunned and opened his mouth to say something, but nothing came out.

Then he turned to Nini and said, "Sign a contract with me, now!"

"What!? But you'll be drained!!!"

"Trust me!" Hughes growled, "Quick!"

Nini gasped heavily for a few times, the struggle on her face flashing away, then she gritted her teeth and reached out her hand towards Xius.

Zeus staggered a few steps and fell on the sharp reef. He seemed unaware of it and struggled to crawl forward. His delicate clothes were covered with blood and mud.

But he stretched out his hand, passed through the sea, and held Nini's hand tightly!
Symbiotic contract—signed!
There was no hesitation or delay. The contract was reached the moment their hands were held together.

The next moment, a torrent of vitality emerged from...
It surged from Nini's body towards Zeus, and then split into Ash!

Nini was stunned, and so was Ash.

Hughes turned over, lay on the reef, looked at the night sky and laughed.

"Hahaha, it worked, cough, it worked, I knew it!"

He laughed hysterically.

"The symbiotic contract is indeed absolutely equal. Vitality isn't a cure for wounds, but the currency of the contract!"

"As long as I sign a symbiotic contract with multiple people, life force can flow between all the contracting parties, using me as a transit point!!!"

"You didn't expect this! This is the true use of the symbiotic contract! This is it!"

"The various abilities provided by the contract are just extras. Its real function is to allow us to share our life pool, allowing us to—"

“Symbiosis!!!”

Every word he said was like a sledgehammer, hitting the Banshee's heart.

The same injury would be fatal if it happened to Ash and Zeus, but with the addition of Nini, it would only be a moderate injury.

And
Nini used her six hands to push off the reef and jumped onto the shore.

The tall body gleamed in the moonlight.

She also has the ability to move on land.

Not far away, Ash also stood up. She was dying just now, but now she was able to continue fighting.

Zeus turned to look at the other banshees in the sea.

"For Castel, for our common homeland," he whispered. "Let our blood flow together."

He stretched out his hands toward the sea, and beneath the surface of the sea, hands held him.

The offensive and defensive momentum is reversed!
