Chapter 38 A Hero's First Battle: The Belated Helicopter

Gavin looked at the bizarre scene, feeling a mix of tension and anger.

These monsters, crawling out of hell, easily took the lives of ordinary people and toyed with their corpses.

In his view, the words spoken by these monsters parasitizing people must be mockery of humanity from demons in hell.

"You wretched monster! Go back to hell!" Gavin gripped the blazing sword with both hands and slashed down without hesitation.

The elemental power in his body was transmitted to the sword through his arm, and a crimson light appeared on the blade, accompanied by a fiery heat wave that blew the already burning tent apart.

The sword, carrying a flash of fire, struck straight at the spinal worm parasitizing the obese man's back.

Click!

The sound of hard bones being crushed rang out, the exoskeleton of the spinal worm was cleaved open, and fire elemental power erupted, producing a sizzling sound like lard falling into a pot of oil.

Most of these sounds came from the obese man, whose back was charred black by the fire element and bubbling with oil, as if the subcutaneous fat had been burned away in an instant.

"Aaaaaah..." the parasitized man screamed, as the spinal worm's head emerged from his neck, its mouth agape and shrieking, "Guzizi!"

At the same time, the spread of fire elemental power burned away the thin layer of scarlet mist.

crunch...

The spinal worm at the man's feet quickly crawled towards Gavin. The spinal worm wasn't going to save its companion, but rather it wanted the host in front of it.

"So hard! I'm too weak!" Gavin felt his arm ache from the force of the holy sword rebounding after striking him. He had used all his strength just now, as if he had struck steel.

It should be noted that when he gained the Holy Sword's approval, his strength increased significantly, becoming comparable to that of an adult.

Gavin had no time to think. He gripped the holy sword and slashed at the spine worm crawling towards him. The blade, carrying a fiery red arc, struck the spine worm's body.

Crack! The spinal worm's exoskeleton cracked, and the impact dented it into the soil.

"Gagaga..." The spine worm let out a chilling scream, just like a baby crying.

The remaining four spine worms also made a cracking sound as they crawled rapidly toward Gavin, releasing a crimson mist at the same time.

This mist is 'scarlet pigment'. People infected with it will experience hallucinations and gradually develop red blisters on their bodies. The blisters will increase and cover the entire body, even the internal organs, eventually leading to ulceration and death.

In addition to affecting the physical body, it can also cause abnormalities in the life essence, making it abnormally active. This manifests as an inability to control one's emotions, until both the emotions and the physical body collapse together.

With current human technology, it is impossible to treat infected individuals.

However, the mysterious energy of elemental power can destroy the crimson, so those who possess elemental power will not be infected.

"Courage erupts!" Gavin panicked upon seeing this and immediately activated his ability.

The elemental power in his body instantly boiled, and flames appeared on his body. It was as if he was burning in flames, but the flames did not burn him or even a single hair.

Gavin felt his strength suddenly increase, and he slashed the Holy Sword down fiercely at the Spine Worm.

The crimson flame struck the first spine worm, and with a crack, the spine worm was cut in two.

Then he continued chopping at the next one, *snap!* He chopped off half of the spinal worm's head.

Two spine worms had crawled to his feet, but Gavin felt no fear. In this state, he seemed unafraid, and he could even clearly see the movements of these monsters.

He raised his foot and stomped hard on the head of a spiny worm, feeling the stone beneath his foot; the worm was crushed into the ground. He then plunged his sword into another spiny worm, *crack!* The sword tip pierced the exoskeleton with a crisp sound of bone breaking, and fire element spread from the sword into the worm's body, causing it to instantly emit black smoke.

"Ahhhhh..." A sharp sound came from the spine worm's mouth, the sound grew softer and softer, and finally it stopped moving.

"So that's how you kill it, you have to infuse elemental power into the monster's body." Gavin looked at the spine worm that had been pierced by the sword and died, and suddenly realized. He swung the sword hard with both hands, and the dead spine worm was shaken off the sword.

His expression was full of disgust; he didn't want such a monster strung on the holy sword, it would be an insult to the holy sword.

At this moment, the duration of 'Courage Burst' disappeared, and the sudden surge of power also vanished, leaving him with a feeling of emptiness.

Before he could even savor the feeling, the spine-borne worm under his feet kept pushing against his foot, and without the power to support it, he couldn't keep his footing down.

He gripped the sword hilt with both hands and thrust it forcefully at the spinal worm at his feet. The sword tip shattered the spinal worm's carapace with a crack, but the tip only penetrated a little.

However, all that's needed is to pierce it; the elemental power within the body rushes into the spine worm's body along the sword.

sizzle...

Black smoke billowed from the spine-like insect's body, its head spewing out plumes of smoke like a smoke machine, and it was burned to death amidst the piercing cries of an infant.

"Gavin, leave the rest to your sister!" Eleanor rushed in front of Gavin, her body radiating a blue light, as if a whirlwind had formed a protective barrier.

"Bless the angels!"

Eleanor called out softly, and blue angel wings slowly unfurled behind her, with a blue halo appearing above her head.

"Ah!"

The four parasitized beings twisted and pounced on Gavin and Eleanor in bizarre postures.

Eleanor stood in front of Gavin, and the four of them were bounced away by the blue barrier around Eleanor's body. The parasitized child was thrown into the air and rolled on the ground.

"Sister, we need to pierce the monster's body with the tip of the sword and pour elemental power into its body to kill it easily," Gavin shouted.

“I saw it,” Eleanor said. When Gavin rushed in and started killing, she saw clearly how he killed him, gripping the sword with both hands and stabbing it fiercely into the fat man’s charred back.

It pierced in with a snap, but only a tiny bit went in.

She was only slightly stronger than Gavin, and her skills were not amplification skills.

The wind element flowed into the spine worm's body, causing its exoskeleton to expand instantly, like an inflated balloon, before bursting into fragments with a bang.

Gavin was taken aback for a moment: 'Sister's wind element is so violent...'

Eleanor stabbed again at the back of the fat woman and her equally fat daughter. People controlled by the spinal worms were not agile and were much easier to kill than those without the parasites.

With two loud bangs, the two parasitic spinal worms were blasted apart by the wind element.

Then, looking at the chubby child who had been flung away, Irene flew over with her toes off the ground. She wasn't fast, but she arrived in front of her target in just one second and stabbed him hard.

"Ahhh..." The spine worm's head lifted off the fat child's back and screamed. Its exoskeleton expanded, shattered, and then exploded into fragments with a bang.

Just then, the helicopter rotor started making noise.

Gavin and Eleanor looked over quickly and saw three black dots in the distant sky.
