Crown of Evil

Chapter 37 The Gun of Victory
The trigger was pulled, and the aether around Eugene was quickly sucked into the barrel of the gun.

Compress, recompress.

The moment the shot was fired, the shield suddenly deformed and stretched.

The etheric airflow jetted back wantonly, and the huge propulsion force offset the recoil force generated at the moment of firing.

The spiral ether beam came to Duke in the blink of an eye.

A burst of dust came from nowhere.

The thick stone wall quickly condensed in front of Duke, but the light beam penetrated it instantly.

The ballistic warped as it hit the stone wall, and the beam ended up hitting Duke's shoulder only.

There was no blood splatter or flesh flying, and the high concentration of ether directly evaporated half of Duke's shoulder.

The scorched wound was smoking, but he only waved his hand and drew a burst of dust to wrap the injured area.

While Eugene was preparing his next shot, Duke's wounds were healed.

The ground suddenly cracked, and the dirt and gravel combined into a big hand in midair and grabbed Eugene.

In desperation, he immediately pushed Helen away.

At the moment when the big hand was about to attack, the muzzle of the gun flickered again.

The light beam directly shattered the big hand, and the smoke and dust filled the air for a while.

Just when he was about to take the opportunity to fight back, he found that Duke was missing.

The surrounding walls and ground suddenly turned into spears. Eugene used his shield to block the vital points, but was still hit by the spears.

His thighs and arms were pierced, and he was held in place.

A burst of dust floated in front of him, and Duke's face appeared again.

"If it wasn't for my special ether, I'm afraid I would really be killed by you."

It has only been a few years since Duke's awakening, and his combat ability and comprehensive strength are actually not strong, so he chose to go dormant.

But he can do a lot with the special aether that the frame brings.

Such as manipulating sand and stone.

and create illusions.

Eugene wanted to raise his gun to shoot, but the Duke in front of him disappeared again, replaced by his own nightmare.

The dead Brand's body was raging with flames, and the fire snake under his feet was ready to go.

Teammates who had passed away fled in a hurry in the face of death.

Everything that happened before happened again.

Eugene looked up, his eyes were red and bloodshot.

Someone accidentally knocked him to the ground, his face full of horror.

The Guanhong iron wall in his hand was raised, and the muzzle of the gun was aimed at the man's face.

click.

The light beam burst out, and the phantom in front of him instantly turned into dust.

"My tricks can be cracked like sand, but do you know why those people are willing to accept the content of the illusion?"

"Because I only show them what they want to see and they don't want to come out,"

Duke stretched out his hand and pinched it, and the ground turned into quicksand that wrapped Eugene tightly and solidified, turning it into a cage.

"What would you like to see Eugene?"

Pictures formed by sand and dust emerged behind Duke.

The happy quick response team, the peaceful daily life, and the sweet snuggle with Helen.

But there's nothing he wants to see here, it's all he should have.

Eugene witnessed Duke's methods with his own eyes, and he believed Rocky's words.

I also know who is the person who took away and destroyed the pictures in front of me.

Now all he wanted was to see Duke dead.

Seeing that Eugene didn't respond, Duke waved the sand and dust indifferently.

He stepped aside and dragged the unconscious Helen in front of Eugene, the cold ether left ice crystals on his hand in just a few seconds.

"I really want to play with you again, but I have to leave when the time comes."

Duke pointed to the huge machine with electric arcs not far away, his face full of amusement.

"You can guess whether it was your little girlfriend who couldn't hold on to turning herself into ice, or the machine died first."

With Eugene cursing, Duke disappeared with the reappearing dust.

The condensed quicksand is hard and adheres tightly to the skin.

Eugene twisted his body vigorously, even though his skin was torn and blood was splashed, he didn't stop.

The clothes on his body were torn in large pieces, and pieces of flesh and blood were exposed on his arms and neck.

After getting out of the cage, Eugene collapsed to the ground, coughing blood continuously.

The pressure from the quicksand had taken a toll on his lungs, and every breath he took now smelled strongly of blood.

"anyone there?!"

Shouts came from outside the gate, followed by footsteps.

A man saw Eugene and walked up to him and supported him against the wall.

"What happened here?"

Eugene shook his head hastily, and accidentally touched the wound on his neck, causing him to gasp in pain.

Pointing to the huge machine that was about to be overloaded, he said with difficulty: "Turn that off."

"Otherwise they will all die."

The man looked up, but Eugene's injuries were too serious for him to ask.

"Trust him, he is one of our own." A familiar voice came from Eugene.

"We used to be teammates."

This sentence seemed to be a reassurance, and a group of soldiers in strange clothes began to get busy.

The speaker walked quickly to Eugene's side to check his injuries, biting his lip in the process without saying a word.

But Eugene's tense nerves instantly relaxed when he saw him.

A sense of grievance welled up in my heart, and tears welled up in my eyes.

"Captain. I failed to kill him and failed to protect Helen. I failed to protect everyone."

Eugene saw the person who used to take care of him the most.

The former captain of the Sixth Rapid Response Team - Morici.

Morici didn't stop tearing the gauze, but tears also flowed out uncontrollably.

"I know, it's not your fault."

"Sorry, the captain is late."

The machine that was about to be overloaded finally stopped, and a group of soldiers began to look for survivors who survived the ether storm.

Morici made a phone call for Eugene at his request, while watching the busy soldiers lost in thought.

When he was searching for survivors in the city before, he saw a fleet suddenly appearing in the sky, and then these soldiers fell from the sky.

Everyone wore that kind of muscle-like close-fitting armor, and used weapons they had never seen before.

These soldiers easily helped them repel a large number of dust demons, and they showed extremely powerful combat effectiveness in the short battle.

What's the name, the name is very long.

It seems to be the Knights of the Throne named Carmen?

Carmen's naval guns were constantly bombarding the filthy dragon, and many crew members were secretly watching the show while operating it.

Hull, who had just returned to the ship, was being baptized by his teacher.

"I should have broken your leg back then and thrown it into the world to feed pigs!"

"Are you disrespectful?! You are throwing my old face on the ground and stomping on it! Let that high table member of the World Parliament see our joke!"

"I just want you to send a letter! What's in this place is none of your business?!"

"Return to the prince of natural disasters? Even if natural disasters come, it has nothing to do with you!"

While talking about the old man, he tugged on Hull's ear, and pointed at the 'Lost Banshee' hovering on the big screen with the other hand.

"Look at him! He's three years older than you! Now he can fight Son of Calamity back and forth on the frontal battlefield!"

"What about you?! You will only call to complain that the adults at home are too late!"

"Fucking in front of outsiders!"

Hull was so wronged by the words that tears almost fell down.

Can that be the same? !
They are driving a fighter plane that they don't know where they got it!

On the frontal battlefield, some people also questioned Rocky's car.

"Where did you get this fighter?"

Elvis looked at the fighter plane fighting with the filthy dragon above his head, and felt familiar.

Shouldn't it?Just hand it over to a fledgling young man so casually.

But the signal sent by the fanatic titan told him that it was his teammates who had fought side by side.

Rocky was still thinking about how to explain to Elvis when the phone rang suddenly.

It was Eugene calling.

He told Lodge everything Duke had done in the underground facility.

What Duke is about to destroy is sure to have a huge impact on his plans, so Rocky is curious about that machine.

"Commander, what does the machine below our base do?"

Elvis was silent for a while before speaking the answer.

"That's the Federation's anti-natural disaster force."

"An etheric strike device called the 'Gun of Victory'."
