Chapter 35 Blood Queen Has Appeared
Lathel was currently unconscious. Charlotte hugged him tightly, while her fangs continuously absorbed blood from his neck.
The destructive light from the two monsters in the sky enveloped the entire area, swallowing Lathel and Charlotte inside.
Immediately afterwards, countless explosions rang out, the ground shattered, the cliff collapsed, and every large rock was turned into ash by the destructive light.
A mushroom cloud that was more than 200 meters high rose up over the cliff.
The terrible temperature burned everything inside this valley.
As soon as the mushroom cloud rose out of the cliff, a circular shock wave emitting terrible temperature swept out.
Wherever that shock wave passed, the trees and animals in that place were burned into cinders, and the ground was as hot as a giant pan.
The shock wave spread over a thousand meters and then slowly disappeared. However, it left behind nothing alive within a radius of more than 1,000 meters around the top of the mountain.
Everything burned, it either turned into coal or, worse, ashes.
The valley was completely covered in smoke and dust, a few fires were still burning, and the ground was sunken in.
The surrounding cliffs also collapsed, and the largest and strongest rocks were crushed into small pieces.
"Cough! Cough! Cough!"
Swordary (Taki) coughed continuously. He knelt on the ground, while supporting his body with both hands, as he panted.
Luckily when the two monsters collided, he entered the protective dome in time, otherwise,Swordary (Taki) was afraid that he would have died, no, to be more precise, he would have turned into ashes.
Swordary (Taki) never thought that Lathel could use such powerful magic.
What was even more terrifying was that Lizaru could also use a similar magic to confront the lightning bird.
Haya was also not okay, her face was pale like an anemia patient, her breathing was rapid, and her whole body was drenched in sweat.
It seemed like she couldn't hold on anymore as she passed out, and lay on the ground.
Lizaru was the only one of the two still awake. He frowned and looked at the surrounding scene, while silently complaining that something was wrong.
'Damn it! This place is so close to the Karol Empire, the recent explosion must have attracted the attention of the Sages there.'
'After all, this forest is within the territory of the Karol Empire. If they discover that the church is causing trouble here, I'm afraid my fate will be sealed.'
Lizaru gritted his teeth, he felt like he should have handled this quickly from the beginning. Also, because he saw that Lathel only possessed a F-rank talent, he underestimated him.
But Lizaru never thought that Lathel possessed taboo magic, which caused the deaths of two church enforcers.
Lizaru looked at the dust, but he did not dare to look down. He also didn't think that Lathel would die from the explosion just now.
He also felt lucky that Haya was capable of reinforcing the protective dome, and keeping him safe.
However, after he used the taboo magic just now to stop the lightning bird, he also consumed a large amount of magic in his body.
Now, Haya was unconscious, and he was left with less than 2/10 of the magical energy in his body.
It could be said that he could not use any taboo magic like the magic he just used.
Lizaru held his magic staff tightly, muttered incantations, and he got ready to launch an attack. The lesson just now was so painful that he was ready to seriously face Lathel.
Suddenly, a gust of wind arose, blowing all the dust away. At this moment, Lizaru suddenly felt that something extremely terrible was coming.
His body suddenly trembled a bit, making him feel confused. The Lizard race had extremely accurate intuition, and besides, he is a magician, so his mental strength was also extremely high.
That's why he completely trusts his intuition.
The dust cleared, revealing a woman holding a young man in her arms.
That young man was Lathel, the man who killed two people in the Church's law enforcement team.
The girl wore a red dress and she had long black hair that reached her waist. Her hair had countless red hair strands mixed with her black hair, and this made her hair even more special.
Her lips were red as blood, skin white as snow, and her body was so perfect it couldn't be more perfect.
Especially her eyes, her eyes were blood red, and her pupils were diamond-shaped similar to the pupils of reptiles.
"That's…" Lizaru frowned, he didn't know when that girl appeared but his intuition was telling him that he needed to run.
If he doesn't run, he will definitely die.
"Wait! Red eyes, blood red lips… could it be… she is a Vampire?" Lizaru took a deep breath.
Looking at Lizaru's appearance, he looked like a middle-aged Lizard, but he was actually over 200 years old.
Since he was a magician, he was more knowledgeable than normal people, besides, he was also trained by the Church so he immediately recognized that Charlotte was a Vampire.
After all, Vampires were also included in the Church's list of evil races that need to be destroyed.
From the features he saw on Charlotte, he not only recognized that she was a Vampire, but also that she was a pure-blooded Vampire.
"Damn it! A Pureblood Vampire..." Lizaru gritted her teeth angrily. He also didn't know why there was a pure-blood vampire in this place.
When he came here, he only focused on Lathel so he didn't pay attention to his surroundings.
This was because he was so confident in the strength of himself and the other members that he didn't think he would fail.
However, the reality was equally fierce, it was like a hand, slapping Lizaru's face, making him feel pain.
He had lost his two strongest fighting forces, Akko and Taki. Now only Swordary (Taki) can fight.
Because Haya used too much magic to reinforce the protective dome, she lost consciousness. Lizaru only had a little magical energy left, if he really fought, he could only run away.
Lizaru immediately switched to another magic, Swordary (Taki) was startled when he saw this and he immediately said "No! Are you planning on running away alone?"
Lizaru did not respond, he felt that his life was the most important thing right now. If he couldn't complete his mission, he could at least run away from the church and find a deserted place to live.
But if he continues to fight, his chance of dying would be extremely high. He also could not rely on someone who has had conflicts with him to save him.
Only he could save himself.
However, Lizaru immediately stopped casting spells, her mouth opened when she saw the image before his eyes.
Blood from the two fang marks on Lathel's neck flowed out like a stream, but that amount of blood did not flow down, on the contrary, it flew up as if it was in zero-gravity space.
Fresh blood flew above Charlotte's head, forming a crown of blood that hovered above her head, the crown emitted a blood-colored aura.
At this moment, Lathel was unconscious so he was completely unaware of what was happening.
Lizaru was so scared that his body trembled involuntarily: "That's... that's..."
When Swordary (Taki) saw Lizaru trembling in fear he also began to feel scared.
He had been on several joint missions with Lizaru, but he had never seen Lizaru so scared.
Even when facing the lightning bird that had the power to destroy an entire mountain, Lizaru was still extremely calm.
But this time was different, Lizaru was so scared that his legs were shaking, he couldn't even stand anymore, so he sat down on the ground.
He continuously backed away, while continuously shaking his head: "No! Impossible!"
Swordary also worriedly approached Lizaru and asked: "What the hell are you talking about?" Who the hell is that girl?"
"No… run… I can't run anymore…" Lizaru didn't answer Swordary, he just kept shaking his head, his eyes filled with fear.
"Damn it! Are you crazy? Swordary scolded, but he also felt that death was approaching him.
The greater the power, the more accurate one's intuition was.
Swordary and Taki trembled together. Taki took over half of Swordary's body and immediately said: "Let's run, I don't feel good."
Swordary also silently cursed in his heart: 'Of course I also feel bad.'
He immediately turned to run away but crashed into the protective dome. Swordary and Taki were startled at this moment. They repeatedly hit the protective dome but it only emitted ripples, as they were unable to break the protective dome.
At this point, they realized something was wrong. Swordary (Taki) shouted: "Lizaru, what the hell are you doing? Quickly remove the protective dome, quickly!"
"No! No way… we will die… we… will definitely die."
Lizaru didn't answer him, he just muttered as if he had gone crazy. Swordary (Taki) could only sigh, however, they also felt a bit lucky.
Swordary then spoke reassuringly: "Don't worry, since this protective dome could keep us safe from the explosion, we will definitely be safe here."
Taki also agreed: "Um… but… we can't get the stone."
"Don't worry, the opponent is too strong, the Church probably won't punish us. After all, the Holy Maiden is a person full of love and gentleness, she will definitely not blame us."
"I hope so too….Huk…"
As soon as Taki finished speaking, he felt something pierce his body.
Swordary also felt terrible pain. He lowered his head and saw a bloody tentacle pierce through the protective dome and pierce through their chest.
"What the hell?!" Swordary shouted, he thought that being inside the protective dome was absolutely safe, he never thought that the opponent could easily break the protective dome without making any noise.
Suddenly, Swordary's body slowly withered.
"No!!"
Lizaru just held his head and muttered: "No... the Blood Queen has appeared... this world... will drown in a sea of blood..."
