Chapter 334 Tail Thorn
In the traitor's base, from the moment Bai Yuze revealed his identity, both sides understood that this was a complete and irreconcilable conflict.
Although Erkani still had many questions in his mind, it was clear that...
The beautiful Demoness, Princess Illusionary Butterfly, seemed to have no intention of chatting with him any longer.
Whoosh!
The Abyss Simulator made its move. Like a phantom, it appeared in front of Ercani when Ercani saw it again. Its eyes were cold, and it suddenly swung its black claw blade, which was integrated with its arm, and leaped up to stab Ercani's head.
With a whoosh, Erkani reacted with incredible speed, turning his head to dodge the Abyss Simulator's attack the instant the opponent attacked, but a bloodstain was still left on his cheek.
Seeing that his first attack had missed, the thin, black figure attacked again. As the opponent charged at him once more, Ercani sighed and dense black energy quickly engulfed and covered his body.
Whoosh!
This time, Ercani didn't move at all. The Abyss Simulator's claws seemed to pierce Ercani's body quite smoothly, but as the black aura dissipated, it was discovered that its bone spikes were blocked by Ercani's dark armor and did not cause any damage at all.
Ercani lowered his head, staring at the bone spur in his chest, his eerie green eyes narrowing slightly. He swung his jet-black longsword with a sudden, powerful strike, piercing the Abyss Simulator's mouth with a resounding thud, cleaving it in two from top to bottom!
All of this happened in an instant, within just two or three seconds, and an Abyss Simulator of the [Sunfall] level fell to the ground and died.
Looking at the corpse of the Abyss Simulator on the ground, Ercani twisted his neck, making a crisp cracking sound, seemingly a little uncomfortable, and muttered, "Although I have some doubts, I still have to thank you for the ring you gave me, otherwise my strength would not have increased so quickly."
Thinking of this, he turned his gaze back to the Demoness Illusion Butterfly in front of him. The Abyss Simulator was just an appetizer at best; the one in front of him was the real deal.
Erkani's eyes flickered slightly, and he clapped his hands gently.
The next second, five or six streaks of rainbow light shot out from the surrounding alleys. Their magical dresses were all different colors, but they all wore the same purple goggles on their heads, which shimmered with a strange light in the darkness.
Standing to the side, Huan Die slowly withdrew her gaze from the ring on the other person's finger and placed it on the magical girls, including four [Budding] magical girls and one [Blooming] magical girl. It could be said that this was another complete A-rank Judgment Squad.
From their eyes, Huan Die could only see a blank stare.
【mom,】
Hungry.
I need to eat!
She forcefully suppressed the greed and desire surging in her heart, and her gaze returned to its indifferent state. If the other party called her "Dad," she might be able to give her a good meal. If he called her "Mom," she thought.
Think beautifully.
[Daddy, Xiaoqi is hungry and wants to eat~]
Please!
[Xiao Qi is very obedient and easy to raise.]
As if hearing Huan Die's thoughts, the soft, clear child's voice in her mind instantly changed its form.
But clearly, the illusionary butterfly wasn't buying it.
【Come forth, my servant!】
She swung the Illusionary Butterfly Scythe in her hand, lightly tapping the ground, and softly chanted. The next second, a black pentagram array instantly appeared, and a dark, evil light burst forth in the air. Vigorous abyssal energy surged out from the bewitching purple magic circle.
Boom!
Suddenly, the ground beneath Erkani's feet shook violently!
His pupils contracted, and he hurriedly looked towards the front where the tremor was strongest. He saw the ground beneath the magical girls instantly explode, and a huge, thick, black hand, nearly two meters wide, suddenly emerged from within. In an instant, it grabbed two of the magical girls and held them in its palm.
At the same time, the soil near the abyss magic array rapidly cracked open, and an extremely huge figure emerged from it, instantly obscuring the moon, the only source of light in the sky.
Erkani slowly looked over. What was this thing?
Abyssal Troll?!
He had just seen this monster in a live broadcast room, but now a similarly enormous monster had appeared right in front of him. However, it was clear that the monster in the live broadcast room was definitely not as big as the one here!
If the abyssal trolls over there are the sons, then the abyssal trolls here are the fathers.
While Erkani was stunned, the screams of the two magical girls suddenly rang out. Turning around, he saw that the bodies of the two magical girls were being tightly gripped by the hands of the abyssal troll.
Even though they desperately chanted various magical spells to attack the giant hand, the hand not only did not loosen its grip, but instead tightened its hold.
Click!
The sound of bones cracking rang out, and the two magical girls completely lost their life force.
Just as the abyssal troll was about to put the two snacks into its mouth, its scarlet gaze suddenly met the deep purple eyes of the phantom butterfly.
Almost immediately, the latter tossed the two snacks aside as if they were trash, and looked at the three magical girls who remained.
Although these three magical girls have lost their self-awareness, they still retain their biological instincts.
There were vague signs that it was about to break free from Ercani's control.
Ercani certainly wouldn't let that happen; he needed these magical girls to draw the fire for him!
Just as he was chanting incantations to enhance the control effect.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a curved black shadow flew in with a whooshing sound.
The sound was like the buzzing of bees, a sharp and piercing shriek.
Erkani was suddenly startled, feeling the hairs on his body stand on end.
He looked up and saw a scythe of death coming from behind him. *Thud!*
As he flashed past, the scythe flashed in the air in a beautiful arc before piercing his chest. The powerful impact propelled his body, instantly pinning him to the ground several meters away, creating a large crater.
Meanwhile, this secret stronghold finally succumbed to the torture inflicted by the Phantom Butterfly and was reduced to ruins.
The Demoness Butterfly floated in the air, the bright moonlight shining on her smooth skin, as if draping her in a white veil.
Her deep purple eyes gazed silently down at the ruins below. Fortunately, the houses here were dilapidated and located in the eastern part of Yeqiu City. Normally, not many normal people would choose to live here.
Inside the crater, Erkani's vital signs remained eerily stable.
The phantom butterfly was unimpressed. The characteristic of the relic, the Flower of God, was that as long as the host did not die, it could provide the host with endless energy and heal all pain.
She had experienced this herself.
The so-called three Abyss Relics can be simply understood by her as follows: one can make the host invincible, one can give the host inexhaustible energy, and the last can make the host's combat strength increase exponentially.
"Your Highness, I think we can talk."
As the smoke dissipated, Erkani slowly emerged from it. He appeared somewhat disheveled, his entire body covered in black armor, but deep, bone-deep flesh was visible on his chest. Although he was slowly healing, the attack from the Illusion Butterfly had left him in considerable pain.
The Demoness, Illusionary Butterfly, looked at him quietly. "From the moment you appeared, a very strong desire suddenly surged in my heart. This feeling is very strange, as if I want to completely devour you before I will stop."
However, it is obvious that I do not believe I can beat you, so I am willing to give you this strange ring and serve you wholeheartedly.
But you need to guarantee my safety and health, and arrange for me to have an undisturbed laboratory.
I personally believe that these are not really requirements, and should be quite simple for Your Highness, the Demon Princess.
Erkani's sudden admission of weakness left Huandie somewhat silent.
Why?
"If you were a magical girl, I definitely wouldn't surrender. Over the years, although I haven't intentionally done anything bad, I've caused quite a few injuries and deaths among humans and magical girls in order to keep the lab running. This means I can't survive in the human world."
But things are different in the abyss. I can concentrate on scientific research, studying the abyssal energy, the ring on my hand, and the operating principles of the abyssal world...
"7
Huan Die slowly raised her eyes, smiled gently, and looked very beautiful: "I am actually very interested in your suggestion."
"Moreover, the strength you displayed yesterday was already much stronger than many Abyssal Beasts. If I take you to the Abyss, perhaps your research can really help me to understand the Abyssal Relics to a higher level."
At this point, Huan Die paused slightly, "But I'm sorry, I can't agree to that, because I don't care about the so-called Abyss Relics, nor do I care about the Abyss. I only care about my family and my descendants—clearly, you've crossed a line."
The next second, a circular black light swept past again, bang!
Erkani, who already knew the outcome, was covered in black mud again almost the instant the other party finished speaking.
The tip of the scythe slammed into Erkani's shoulder, sending him flying dozens of meters backward.
"Ahem!"
Ercani coughed up a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with shock. He was aware of all the battles fought by the Abyss Demonesses during the Black Tide Crisis, but in his memory, the Demoness Illusion Butterfly's strength didn't seem to be this terrifying.
puff!
He endured the pain, forcefully pulled the sickle embedded in his flesh, lifted his heel and ran, his speed even impressing Liu Xiang, the sprinter.
Surrender when you should, and run away decisively when you can't surrender.
Ercani's decisiveness was so impressive that even Huan Die, watching from behind, felt a little sorry for him; Ercani was indeed a talented individual.
It's a pity, but who told him to dare to lay a hand on his own sister and those around him!
Thinking of this, Huan Die's deep purple eyes gradually turned cold, and a faint purple light began to shimmer on her palm, which was wrapped in black lace.
The next second, the slender butterfly scythe slowly appeared in her palm.
【Phantom Butterfly, Part 5: The Dance of the Enchanted Butterfly】
In an instant, the purple orchid on the Butterfly Scythe bloomed, its petals trembling gently. Then, thousands of tiny butterflies emerged from it, their wings like stars in the night sky, emitting a pale purple glow, converging into a flowing galaxy.
These butterflies had only one goal: Erkani, who had already fled over a hundred meters away.
They flapped their wings, creating a peculiar force that propelled them forward at breakneck speed with an unusual rhythm, leaving behind trails of dazzling light.
Erkani wasn't slow, but even with his best efforts, the beautiful butterflies behind him still followed closely. From a distance, these tiny points of light didn't seem to pose much of a danger, but his mind was constantly reminding him of this.
If he gets stuck to these seemingly harmless little creatures, his fate will definitely not be good.
Wow~
After fleeing for several minutes, Erkani finally caught a glimpse of the swarm of butterflies out of the corner of his eye.
Squeak!
A piercing metallic scraping sound suddenly rang out in the air.
Erkani stopped in his tracks and looked down. His body was covered in faint, crisscrossing white marks. If he hadn't been on guard, he would probably have been cut into pieces by these dense, transparent threads.
Since you're determined to fight to the death, then let's fight!
Erkani turned his head coldly. He didn't want to fight, nor did he like fighting, but as the saying goes, even a rabbit will bite when cornered, let alone a person!
The ring on his finger began to shimmer, and the next second, the surging abyssal energy within the ring began to flow from his arm throughout his entire body. The white marks that had just been cut also began to slowly disappear, and his crystal core began to radiate an increasingly vigorous life force.
With a soft click, a black longsword emerged from Erkani's arm. Thud!
The concrete beneath his feet suddenly cracked open, and a black figure flashed as it rushed straight toward the Demoness Butterfly floating in the air.
Seeing Erkani charging towards her, Phantom Butterfly smiled lightly, swung the scythe in her hand, and her speed also increased dramatically. It had been a long time since she had transformed into Phantom Butterfly, so she could get used to it in advance.
The two blades clashed rapidly in mid-air. Amidst the crisp metallic clang, Erkani's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he shifted his body to the side, dodging the trajectory of Illusion Butterfly's scythe. At the same time, his previously unremarkable left hand suddenly transformed into a bone blade, and he swiftly thrust it towards the crystal core area of Illusion Butterfly's chest.
Not only that, but the jet-black tail thorn behind him also suddenly emerged, coiling towards the opponent like a venomous snake.
Huan Die's expression remained unchanged. She suddenly pulled the Huan Die Scythe in her hand, and the blade immediately retracted.
With two clanging sounds, she instantly blocked the two sharp blades, but facing Erkani's snake-like tail stinger, she seemed to have no other means of defense.
The next moment, a cold light flashed out, and with a soft sound, Ercani's jet-black tail spike quickly retracted. If it had been any later, it would probably have been cut in two by this unexpected guest.
Ercani looked up and saw a jet-black, snake-like tail thorn swaying behind the Illusion Butterfly.
The base of the tail connects to the butterfly's spine, and its end is sharp, thick, and covered with hard, sharp scales.
Each scale resembles a meticulously polished obsidian, gleaming with a cold luster.
However, at this moment, the tail appeared shy, trying its best to burrow into the butterfly dress to hide its shape.
boom!
The two retreated, and the delicate face of the phantom butterfly was filled with indifference. Although this Erkani said that he did not like fighting and could not fight, he was still a very cold person.
But after just one exchange, she knew that her opponent was deliberately hiding their strength. Come to think of it, after all these years, the fact that they were able to run from Ninomiya City to Yeqiu City without being killed by a magical girl proved that their combat skills were definitely not low.
But what annoyed her even more than these things was the restless tail behind her. She clearly remembered that she had restricted the tail's access.
Erkani's face darkened when his first attack missed. He had feigned weakness from the start precisely to catch his opponent off guard, but he never expected that his opponent would have a backup plan.
Come again!
At this moment, Ercani was also enraged, and he wanted to see just how powerful the legendary Abyss Demoness really was.
