Chapter 204 Remnants of the Deity Part 1
Dong Dong!
The tumor quivered.
Below, the towering black rocks layered like mountains, and after the gray mist dissipated, the dragon’s head became clearly visible in my vision. It was only then that I realized the countless enormous rock bodies were almost arranged in a circular shape, encircling a much larger peak stone in the center. The direction of those dragon heads was precisely where the huge peak stone stood.
Or rather, where the tumor was located.
The entire body was pitch-black, with an odd shape, and its surface had layers like wind-eroded stones, full of holes. The peak of the giant rock was sunken like a volcano crater, with a strange tumor floating in the air above it. Countless blood vessels extended downward, forming a thick and dense web, wriggling in a hair-raising manner, probing deep into the crater.
Da Bai…
Da Bai’s roar came from the pit at the peak…
I almost used all my strength to propel the power of the Abyss, flying against the fierce wind toward the top of the peak. The large tumor gradually approached my eyes, and I could already smell the heavy scent of blood coming from there.
“Da Bai!”
I urgently shouted a name, noticing the wind slowly stopping, so I flapped my flame wings to increase my speed.
Suddenly, I heard rustling sounds from the peak rock. Looking closely, I found countless shadows climbing up the rugged rock waist like ants, heading for the peak… These were the fairies!
How could there still be… so many fairies here…
What are they planning to do…
The agile fairies grabbed the rock walls, using hooks to climb up rapidly. There were too many of them to count. I flew very high, almost seeing the spectacular scene of countless fairies climbing like a swarm of ants rushing to their nest. As I got closer, I could hear their sea-like shouts.
Those shouts seemed to carry fear, some unknown despair, and a determination to die.
In the midst of climbing, fairies constantly fell from the rock wall, crashing into the denser group below. However, no one seemed to care. The fairies were like madmen, screaming in languages I couldn’t understand, each determined to climb up no matter what.
Guardians seeking redemption…
Could they be trying… to climb to the deep pit at the peak… to stop something?
I continued to accelerate, and fairies saw me, roaring in warning to the sky.
In the next moment, a sudden change occurred.
Before I could even fly above the pit and see inside, a deafening roar like rolling thunder echoed again, reverberating throughout this dim world.
Rumble rumble rumble—
Accompanied by the deafening roar, the peaks below suddenly trembled.
Earthquake…
It was a powerful earthquake that could make the entire world collapse.
In an instant, dust and mud splashed up like an explosion in the vast field of vision, between the endless rock veins. The black rocks shattered and peeled off amidst the loud noise, and the collapsing boulders did not fall to the ground but instead flew upward in the vibration, as if caught by an invisible force, floating high into the sky.
The intense impact carried the flying boulders, which instantly attacked me.
“Mm…”
I was tossed in mid-air, the violent shock tearing through the air, emitting a strange sound near my ears. Countless dark rocks flew upward from beneath me. I dodged a large one and stopped my body hastily in mid-air, shaking my head before looking back towards the peak rock.
My head is spinning… What’s happening!
In my sight, the majestic black rock cliffs quivered abruptly in the shock wave. Huge rocks continued to peel off from the peak with the continuous roaring, covered in gray
Smoke filled the sky, burying the figures of the climbing demons in dust. They screamed and shouted as they fell in large numbers from the rock walls, plunging into the swirling dust below.
In such an earthquake, who knows how many of them would die…
I flapped my wings with all my might, weaving through the rocks and debris flying towards me, and raised my flight altitude. Soon, the scene at the bottom of the deep pit on the peak came into view.
The crater, almost half a kilometer wide but not very deep, resembled a volcanic crater. Countless “veins” about the thickness of an arm crisscrossed, forming a huge blood web that nearly covered the entire pit.
Bright red blood flowed and dripped along the network, and even just getting slightly closer made the stench so pungent that it made me want to retch uncontrollably. But at this moment, I couldn’t afford to pay attention to the discomfort it caused my body. I saw a massive figure covered in white fur trapped deep within the blood web.
“Da Bai!”
Black fog rose, and radiant white flames spread out. The moment I saw Da Bai’s figure, I fully unleashed the chaotic power, enveloping my body in thick smoke like a meteor, and charged towards the blood web.
“Da Bai—”
Why isn’t it moving…
Why isn’t it responding to me…
The white dragon in the blood web faintly emitted a golden glow. It lay on the ground, entangled by the thick web, only its chest faintly rising and falling.
But it’s still alive…
Da Bai is still breathing…it’s still alive…
Whew—
The dead smoke wrapped around my body ignited into black fire under high compression, instantly transforming my small body into a fierce fireball, which then crashed into the blood web. In the next instant, countless thick veins writhed like bloody crimson tentacles, reaching out from all directions towards me.
“Get away!”
I shouted in anger, swinging Captain Gray’s sword fiercely. Countless black fireballs whistled out, colliding with the reaching blood tentacles. Explosions echoed incessantly, dozens of tentacles were severed or swallowed by the swirling dead smoke, emitting a grating sound before quickly retracting.
However, more blood-red tentacles pierced through the explosions of the fireballs, through the dead smoke surrounding me, and through the sharpness of Captain Gray’s slash, tightly wrapping around my arm, thigh, waist, and neck.
“Ugh…”
I wanted to shout, but no sound came out.
The force of the tentacles was astonishing. Even with my teeth clenched and using all my strength, it was hard to resist. In an instant, I was immobilized, hanging in mid-air in the shape of a cross. The tentacle around my neck made it difficult for me to breathe, my face turning red, and I almost dropped Captain Gray.
Damn it…
Da Bai is right there…
“Mm… Ugh…”
The solid armor formed from mud cracked under the tightening force of the tentacles.
Damn it, damn it…
Crack, crack!
The sound of bones being twisted suddenly came from my arm and leg.
I was stunned for a moment.
Then, excruciating pain suddenly surged, shooting up to my brain.
“Ahh…”
My hand is broken…
My leg is broken…
I was in so much pain that I felt like I was going mad. With bloodshot eyes, I looked at my right arm, which had been twisted into a spiral, and Captain Gray slipped from my grip. Another tentacle quickly coiled around it, and blood splattered from torn skin. The sticky veins wrapped around me like snakes, hissing like roasting meat, but they refused to let go.
I can no longer breathe.
