Chapter 47
"That light!" As Chris saw the blinding light coming from that direction, he didn't even bother to recover his stamina and rushed towards it.
The Bizarre Scales on the ground was madly licking the blood from Yadley's neck. However, the Bizarre Scales' movements suddenly froze as several tiny black tentacles reached out from Yadley's neck and pierced into the Bizarre Scales' mouth.
The large muscular tentacles began to move and wrapped around the Bizarre Scales' neck, easily twisting the Bizarre Scales' neck like a fried dough twist, then tossed it aside. The Bizarre Scales' head fell to the ground. Yadley watched as the monster that looked even more monstrous than he was reached its tentacles into the Bizarre Scales' body, then pulled out a still-beating heart.
The tentacles slowly returned to Yadley, the [Black Crow] germs inside his body began to wriggle. Finally, Yadley opened his eyes.
"I really did almost die" Yadley stood up. Yadley stood up. His new heart had already started working. Along with it, the remaining dragon blood in the heart slowly flowed into his body.
"How troublesome, I'm not suitable for transplanting dragon blood, who knows when I'll turn into an irrational Bizarre Scales" Yadley felt more tired than ever. "The [Black Crow] germs have been working for so long, it's time to eat" Yadley then glanced at the Bizarre Scales' corpse on the ground.
After that, Yadley glanced at the Bizarre Scales' corpse on the ground and reached out his right hand. A black tentacle extended from his hand and pierced into the corpse. Yadley no longer cared about being contaminated by the dragon's blood, he had already made up his mind. After replenishing his energy, he would once again pursue Chris' group. Before he became a Bizarre Scales, he would use his life to stop the enemy's advance.
"That's more than enough, come back, Yadley" A voice suddenly appeared in Yadley's mind, causing him to hurriedly kneel down: "For the sake of sir Negri, I will do anything, even if I have to give up my last drop of blood, I will fight for sir to the very end"
"You think you've done well?" Negri's voice caused Yadley's face to turn pale.
"Some of the enemies are already not far away from me" Negri sat on his throne of bones and spoke with a cold tone: "Do you know why I spread the fake news of my hibernation?"
"This subordinate … This subordinate believes that it is to make all the enemies who are hiding come out," Yadley said hesitantly.
"That is indeed one aspect. The other aspect is that I believe that you are gradually falling behind me." Negri's tone was exceptionally calm, but the content of his words sent chills down Yadley's spine.
"Look at the weaknesses you've exposed in battle. Pride, arrogance, lack of motivation. You're all immersed in the power I've bestowed upon you. You're getting weaker and weaker." Negri's words left Yadley in despair. The meaning of life had been denied, and he no longer had any hope of living on.
"However, compared to them, you're still a lot better. The way you fused with the Bizarre Scales' heart gave me a bit of an idea. You're still useful for now, so come back for now"
"Understood, Lord Negri." Yadley knelt on the ground as tears flowed from his eyes. His eyes were filled with shame and determination. No matter what, he had to do his best this time. He could not let this opportunity go to waste and disappoint the lord.
…
Let's rewind time a bit. At this time, the Knight of Divine Grace, Rivers, was standing guard next to his companions' bodies, ready to attack at any moment.
「 Can you hear the commotion over there? 」 A despicable voice suddenly resounded from all directions, making it impossible to determine the exact location of the speaker.
「 The sound of your companions dying 」 The voice excitedly replied: 「 Your companions, just like this woman, were killed without being able to resist. Their bodies were pierced through, their blood spilled everywhere, the most precious thing in life was lost just like that!
」「 That's why I say, you people are such a joke. Isn't it good to be alive? You just had to come here to die, then hold onto your companions' bodies so that they can't be defiled. Such a laughable thought has brought you one step closer to death! 」
"Shut up!" Rivers shouted in a low voice. Two sounds of breaking air could be heard at almost the exact same time.
"Protection!" The Grace of Protection glowed with a faint White Light, allowing Rivers to see where the two bone spears were coming from, but it was already too late for him to dodge or cut them apart.
He barely managed to cut one of the bone spears apart with his sword, but the other bone spear had already pierced through his Light of Protection and stabbed into his chest.
「 How strong you are, Sir Knight 」 The voice continued to mock him: 「 But your stubbornness will only bring more suffering to yourself. You can't even find my position, the next attack will only bring you death!
」「 Who says I can't find your position? You filthy, stupid burrowing rat, I've already found you after so many attacks! 」 Rivers angrily shouted: "My Lord has granted me the right to sacrifice, for the sake of the ideals in my heart, I will not hesitate!"
Rivers leapt to his feet as his body glowed with an intense White Light. He held his sword upside down and stabbed it into the ground below his feet. With a series of cracking noises, the entire ground caved in, revealing something underneath.
This was the large pit where the remains of the crow's food had been buried. In this large pit, countless bones were piled up, and the surface was covered with a layer of soil. There were originally gaps in the pile of bones, and after that, several tunnels had been specially cleared out to connect different locations underground. The other party's voice was also transmitted through these tunnels to different locations, creating the feeling that it was coming from all directions. The reason why the voice could be heard underground was also because of the bone conduction.
[The Grace of Sacrifice], once activated, would grant the recipient the blessing of a powerful Holy Light, allowing them to unleash terrifying attacks. Of course, the user would also have to pay a heavy price. A lot of the skeletons below had already been taken out to create the tunnels, so after Rivers' Sacrifice was used, it naturally collapsed.
Rivers laid in the middle of the pit of bones. After using the Grace of Sacrifice, he felt that his life had come to an end.
The Crowmen who were buried underground were constantly struggling. If anyone else was buried alive like this, they would have no choice but to wait for death, but he was different. He had implanted the [Black Crow] germs into his bones, allowing them to devour and replace his bones, allowing him to turn into a soft-bodied creature when necessary. There were two holes in his palms, which he had emptied out of his forearms and turned into bone spear launchers that he could use as long as he placed them there.
The [Black Crow] germs in his body extended out of the holes in his palms and turned them into digging tools to crawl upwards.
「 That stupid knight, using such an attack and lying on the ground on the verge of death, I won in the end! 」 The Crowmen pushed away the dirt and emerged from the ground, but before he could even show a joyous expression, he saw Chris and two other people standing in front of him.
