Chapter 168 See You in Fifty Years (4400)
Amidst the continuous explosions, the tall and magnificent Baptistery began to collapse. With a rumbling sound, the entire high wall shattered. Pieces of gravel burst out and flew, entangled with flames rolling and jumping on the ground, and were gradually extinguished by the black rain.
The grand fireworks reflected on the surface of the Decayed Knight's armor, reflecting a large red light and illuminating the surrounding dim environment.
The Northern Secret Martial Arts Alliance retreated layer by layer, constantly killing the rotten knights, and there were more and more broken iron cans on the ground.
Ka Xiu patted the dust on his body and felt a sense of relief as he looked at the baptismal church with flames raging in front of him.
Craniotomy Clinic, Dawn Hospital, Mission Hall, Core Bell Tower, Arthropod Hall, Baptistery. At this stage, all the special buildings in Black Rain Villa have been destroyed. The only thing left for him to complete Dusk's obsession is to kill all the Decay Knights.
Obviously, all the rotten knights summoned by the villa at one time were besieged here by many elites of the Northern Secret Martial Arts Alliance. Needless to say about the situation at hand, nearly a thousand combatants from the Northern Secret Martial Arts Alliance completely suppressed the Decayed Knight.
Killing all the knights is just a matter of time.
When Ka Xiu thought of this, the big stone in his heart that had been hanging in the air from the beginning finally fell to the ground, and he felt inexplicably relaxed.
There was a numb and itchy pain all over the body, as if there were small bugs crawling on the surface of the skin, which made people want to scratch. In dangerous combat situations, adrenaline hormones surge, and many pains in the human body are automatically ignored.
Until you feel mentally in a safe and relaxed environment, the pain that was originally ignored will gradually return.
Ka Xiu took a deep breath and was about to turn around.
There were exclamations from members of the attack team ahead.
"There is something in the sea of fire!"
He turned his head sharply and rushed towards the member.
Mian, who had already begun to assist other troops of the Northern Secret Martial Arts Alliance in encircling and suppressing the Decayed Knights, also rushed towards this side.
"What's going on?!" He glanced at Card Xiu.
Ka Xiu shook his head.
The two people rushed to the young man's side, looking into the sea of fire from a distance, and asked the young man what he saw.
"It seems to be pillars, many neatly arranged pillars. These stone pillars did not originally exist, and they seem to have grown out of the ground."
The young man answered simply.
"Pillar?" Ka Xiu took a few steps closer, and his body was almost licked by the flame-red tongue. From an angle, he saw a gray-black pillar extending up from the ground. Then, the lotus-like hands at the top spread out.
"It's a stone pillar that carries items of dark origin! What backup plan does Black Rain Villa have?" Card Xiu frowned deeply. There was an uneasiness in his heart, and he always felt that something might have changed.
Half a minute later.
Whizzing! Whizzing! Whizzing! Whizzing!
A total of eight artillery shells crossed a distance of several kilometers, and then all struck hard on the baptistery church, which was burning with raging fire. There was another explosion, and streams of air surged out, causing the surrounding golden-red flames to expand rapidly.
Even from a distance, Ka Xiu could feel the heat over there.
Beside him, Mian put his hand slightly above his eyebrows. He glanced at the baptistery church, which had mostly collapsed, and then at Cardius next to him, and said, "It should be almost done..."
Half a minute later.
Another round of artillery cleared the ground.
The eight cannonballs hit the flames one after another, kicking up large amounts of dust, which were then mixed with the black rain and fell down.
Feeling the heat wave on his face, Mian glanced at the expressionless Ka Xiu again: "It should be almost done this time, right?"
Whoosh whoosh!
The third round of artillery bombarded again with the power of explosives.
Snap! The last wall of the baptistery church also collapsed, and the raging fire snakes around it became much darker.
"Well, it should be almost done now..."
Ka Xiu touched his chin and nodded.
The expression on his face was one of thoughtfulness.
He wiped the rain off his face and then swept towards the surrounding open space. The originally dense and powerful Decay Knights now only have some junk on the ground. The broken cold weapons were mixed with black solid stains of unknown composition, which were washed away by the falling rain.
In the center of the battlefield, only a dozen or so rotten knights with broken limbs were still resisting, riding around on war horses.
The offensive of the Northern Secret Martial Arts Alliance also slowed down, while they were on guard against attacks from gargoyles in the sky while rescuing the wounded.
Card Xiu pondered for a moment, then turned to Mian next to him and said, "Just in case, let's kill all these knights first..."
"Do it yourself." He added at the end.
"..." Mian was slightly speechless.
After this period of contact, he originally thought he had figured out this young man, but now Mian can't understand him anymore.
Ka Xiu is sometimes like an ordinary muscular man, hot-blooded and extremely reckless. Sometimes he is overly cautious, and even though the war situation has been decided, he still shows a steady appearance.
"Okay." Mian nodded after a while.
Immediately, the attack team took action personally. More than a dozen boxer-level masters surrounded and suppressed the remaining defeated soldiers on the battlefield, and the result was obviously no suspense. After a while, the decayed knights fell down one after another, and the ground in the alleyway disappeared as far as the eye could see.
All the executioners who were born in Black Rain Villa after many years of accumulation were destroyed, and all the special buildings seemed to have been destroyed...
However, the changes Kaxiu wanted still did not appear.
He cast his eyes towards the ruins of the church, and Mian also looked over there. Kaxiu approached the direction of the burning flames step by step, and his black boots splashed water on the ground.
The broken stones made the street surface not very smooth.
Click.
Kaxiu stopped when his shoes stepped on a triangular tile. He did not approach the ruins of the church, but kept a distance of at least ten meters. In this way, if an accident happened suddenly, he could also avoid danger with his reaction power.
Huh...
The flames of the special gasoline burned with an unpleasant odor, and the hot wind and waves were mixed with the cold black rain. There was a feeling of cold and hot on the face, which made people want to blink.
The air flow blew past the ears, and in addition to the whistling sound of the wind, there seemed to be some other sounds mixed in. It was like a person of unknown gender was whispering and telling a story.
In a trance, a white light flashed before Kaxiu's eyes. The surroundings suddenly lit up, and he seemed to have traveled to another world. There is no endless black rain, no low-pressure dark clouds, only a large expanse of deep purple magnificent sky.
And there are a lot of buildings with pointed domes around, a style that Kaxiu has never seen before, with a very different style. Some buildings are abnormally twisted, like plasticine that has been twisted, and the structure is in a spiral rise. Other buildings are like gnawed biscuits, with pits on the surface, and inexplicably look like several houses put together.
Kaxiu turned around in confusion.
In front of him was a gray-white spire church, towering above the church, with three slender metal columns located in a triangle. A black halo like a chain was suspended in the area surrounded by the three metal columns, and it kept rotating and making a buzzing sound.
There seemed to be a lot of complicated and mysterious symbols on the surface of the chain.
Tall, magnificent, sacred.
The colorful and gorgeous stained glass windows attracted people's attention, and a beam of light was cast from the sky, covering the entire church in a huge halo.
Ding!
The sound of bells echoed from nowhere.
With a sudden enlightenment, Kaxiu seemed to see the religious murals on the church windows come alive. Countless beams of light fell from the gaps in the clouds, and a handsome figure with wings loomed. In the middle, a figure burning with flames was almost impossible to look at, but the heart was eager to admire it.
Kaxiu's eyes could not help but look up.
Then...
He found that the martial arts status bar in the upper right corner of his sight was gone!
If everyone has something that is the most important in their hearts, then the most important thing for Kaxiu is naturally the plug-in.
And now, the plug-in is gone! ?
What happened? Who did it!
An unstoppable flame instantly burned away the sense of pilgrimage, and Kaxiu opened his red eyes.
Ding! All the pictures were broken, like a broken mirror, and each piece of the fragment reflected a different scene.
As if waking up from a dream, Kaxiu found himself back in the world in the rain. Turning his head and looking around, he was actually baptizing the inside of the church. The flames that originally covered the ruins had gone out, replaced by a layer of gray film.
The semicircular gray film flowed like a bubble, isolating the inside and outside, and the situation outside could not be seen clearly. And inside the gray film, a layer of light black smoke floated in the upper half of the space.
Kaxiu could clearly see that there were more than a dozen figures wearing black tight combat suits in the gray fog. At this moment, they all stayed in place motionless, and the whole person was as dull as a statue.
The whole body was trembling, and there was a struggle on his face.
The corners of his mouth were bleeding, and his face was pale. There were large blisters on his skin, and the skin was peeling off, which looked like severe sunburn.
Kaxiu hurriedly looked at himself and also found large blisters on his skin. What is this? Radiation! He subconsciously glanced around, and the floor of the church had been blown up long ago, revealing the bumpy ground underneath. And in some places where the soil was exposed, some uneven rock traces could be seen.
Meteorite?
Kaxiu's eyes widened.
Although he was surprised, he knew that now was not the time to think about these things. The continuous feeling of weakness and damage in his body told Kaxiu that he was constantly hurt.
Whether it was the toxins in the air, the meteorites underground, or some mysterious power. What he needed most now was to solve his predicament, but fortunately, Kaxiu had gotten rid of the illusion.
He could analyze what he should do next.
There was no doubt that this must be related to the surrounding pillars.
He first suppressed the weakness in his body, turned around and punched the surface of the gray film with all his strength, but it only caused a layer of ripples.
Can't get out...
Kaxiu turned his head and looked at the nearest pillar. The top of the gray-black thin pillar was held up with both hands, and a mist was rising.
He rushed over there quickly, and surprisingly, there was no obstruction. However, the weakness in Kaxiu's body became stronger and stronger, and it seemed that the closer to the pillar, the stronger the radiation.
Ta-ta-ta...
A series of footsteps approached the stone pillar rapidly.
Kaxiu's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he punched directly while being on guard. His fist whistled through the air.
It hit the surface of the stone pillar with a snap.
Crack...
The pillar was actually broken directly, and the pillar burst open with spider web-like cracks, and immediately scattered into tiny fragments all over the ground.
"It's that simple?!"
Kaxiu was a little bit unbelievable.
But in fact, it is that simple, because the most difficult thing is the deceptive illusion just now. It seems to carry a kind of compulsory bewitching characteristics, even a martial arts master like Kaxiu who has a strong martial arts will and is at the great perfection level is deceived.
Its killing method is similar to the penetrating power of radiation. The secret warriors who fall into the illusion will tremble and die after staying in the same place for a period of time. Kaxiu has seen two elite disciples of the Northern Secret Martial Alliance fall to the ground and twitch constantly.
Their consciousness is in the illusion, but their bodies are constantly suffering from lasting damage in the real radiation, and even the secret warriors can't stand it.
This does not seem to be an active attack method of the Baptism Church, but a last passive defense method to protect the things under the church. If you get close to the church within a certain range, you will be affected by the illusion and automatically enter the gray light film.
While speculating and thinking, Kaxiu destroyed the pillars inside the light film at a very fast speed. These stone pillars do not contain any special materials, and he can break them with a strong blow. But the more troublesome thing is that the radiation energy around the pillars is very strong. Kaxiu started coughing up blood after destroying only ten pillars.
And there were at least fifty pillars inside the gray light film.
He didn't know if he could hold on, but he had to give it a try. Kaxiu was not doing this to save the Northern Secret Martial Arts Alliance disciples who were in hallucinations, but for himself.
All the elements for closing the Black Rain Villa were basically achieved, all the corrupt knights were killed, and most of the special buildings were destroyed, leaving only the foundation of the Baptismal Church.
These radiation energies were quite terrible, and Kaxiu's physique close to that of a fighter could not stop it. He could even feel that even if he could survive, he would suffer unimaginable sequelae.
But, this is the era of retrospection!
As long as the original owner's dusk obsession is completed, as long as there is a breath. Kaxiu can instantly return to the real world, leave the original owner's body, and regain control of his healthy body.
So, he is not afraid.
Even the purpose and fighting spirit are extremely strong.
At the twentieth, Kaxiu's mouth had begun to spit out blood in large mouthfuls, and his lungs seemed to be burning with fire when he breathed.
By the 30th pillar, his skin was covered with blisters, and his limbs were covered with red marks like burns.
By the 40th pillar, it was as if there were thorns growing in his muscles and bones, piercing his meridians, bone marrow and nerves.
By the 50th pillar, Kaxiu was already staggering like an old man, with no intact skin on his body, and his face was bleeding as if it had been splashed with sulfuric acid. Most of the power had leaked out of his body, and he could only use his fists to hammer the last pillar again and again, until his skin was torn and his bones were exposed.
Even though his condition was so bad that he was almost exhausted, Kaxiu's eyes were still bright. People with goals are completely different from those without goals when they are on the verge of death. He only had the last pillar left!
Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang...
Crack!
The stone pillar finally cracked.
Crash! The stone fragments on the top flew everywhere.
Buzz...
Almost at the same time, the gray film covering the church area dissipated. The entire Black Rain Villa began to tremble, and a thick gray-black steam continued to evaporate from the surface of the building.
As the steam surged, the walls, houses, and floors of the villa began to blur like phantoms. The rain was getting smaller and smaller.
In the baptismal church, Kaxiu, who was almost inhuman, lay on the ground, his chest flat. The people who were isolated by the gray film immediately surrounded him, Mian, Domon, Hardy, Oro...
They looked at Kaxiu with inexplicably solemn expressions. It was like the friends of the tomb owner during the burial ceremony in front of the cemetery.
"Has the rain stopped?"
Suddenly, Kaxiu, who looked like a dead body, asked abruptly.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and Domon raised his head quickly. Then he stretched out his hand and responded very seriously: "The rain has stopped..."
"The rain has stopped... Then I should go too."
"Goodbye... No... See you in fifty years."
