Embers of Embers

Chapter 150 Out of Control Zone
The blazing fireworks intertwined, and the molten iron fell like bright raindrops. The neutralizing liquid accumulated on the ground, and the scorching steam rose under the high temperature, dimming the blooming lights. The two figures were in this hazy light. Fighting and dancing.
The knight ran wildly in the corridor, and finally jumped up high. The nail sword in his hand was like a thunderbolt, splitting the thing in front of him into two.
In this narrow space, the demon had no room to evade. It could only passively withstand the fatal sword blow. Under the burning of the holy silver, Lorenzo's blow severely injured the demon again, but it was still not enough.
There were hideous wounds that slowly healed on the flesh. The hot blood was like flowing magma. After just a brief contact, the tip of the nailed sword was already slightly red.
At this moment, the monster's terrifying vitality has been fully reflected. Lorenzo's attack can hurt it, but it is not enough to kill it. The thick flesh and blood is the best plate armor. Even the nailed sword is completely submerged in it. It seems that Neither can touch its heart.
What's more troublesome is the temperature of the internal organs. The demon's body is like a blazing furnace. The armor inspired by the power can isolate the temperature to a certain extent, but the nail sword in Lorenzo's hand cannot do it. He even feels that if If the nail sword stays in its body for a long time, it will melt directly inside.
The child-like screams still continued, hoarse and hoarse, as if there really was a poor soul trapped in that furnace-like body, and could only moan feebly.
The accumulated water on the ground also boiled with the arrival of the monster. Lorenzo could only raise the Winchester in his hand and continue shooting. The spinning bullets blasted pieces of flesh and blood on the twisted flesh, trying to penetrate deeper into the flesh. .
"Yes, that's it, come here more."
Lorenzo seemed to be guiding the demon. He opened fire to attract the demon's attention while retreating behind him.
He needed an open area. This narrow corridor restricted the demon and Lorenzo. Perhaps he could give the demon a fatal blow from another angle.
The whole space was hot and agitated, and the sweat couldn't stop flowing down, like a steam oven.
"This is Arthur, please reply when you receive it!"
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded from the communicator. Although the messy sound of electricity interfered with the sound, Lorenzo still heard it clearly.
"Yo, this is your dear Mr. Holmes, Arthur, I'm cleaning up your mess."
While firing, he replied casually. In this hellish furnace, Lorenzo was as relaxed as if he was wandering the streets of old Dunling.
"For the first time I am happy to hear your voice, Mr. Holmes."
Arthur's voice sounded again, a little unclear due to the interference of the current.
"What you said is a bit sad."
Without even looking at the situation, Lorenzo just talked nonsense so casually, which made the depressing atmosphere a little lighter.
"So Arthur, what did you do? Where did this shit come from?"
While asking, he hooked the retaining ring with his hand and loaded the gun while rotating, like an elegant executioner.
There is a reason why Lorenzo likes to use shotguns. Ordinary firearms can hardly inflict serious damage to monsters with one blow, but shotguns with fierce firepower are different. The scattered projectiles have miraculous effects. Coupled with the large killing area, even if monsters move quickly, Also increases hit rate.
"Remember the previous serial killer related to inferior secret blood? When Dean Lawrence appeared, he also appeared, but he was captured by us."
Shooting again, the demon was like a wall of flesh, slowly advancing.
"You didn't tell me that."
Lorenzo was a little unhappy, and it stands to reason that Horner was his prisoner.
"It doesn't matter. You should see him now. It's not too late for interrogation."
Arthur also said hellish things.
Looking at the grotesque creature with its stomach-churning appearance, Lorenzo said slowly.
"I think it may not be able to be communicated... so how could it become like this, this ghost thing can't be made by inferior secret blood."
While talking, the demon was also attacking. During the battle with Lorenzo, it continued to grow, and its body became more and more bloated. Even Lorenzo could not see its appearance clearly. Make a piece of high-temperature flesh and blood that can move.
The twisted arm protruded from the flesh, but facing the swift demon hunter, the attack seemed to be slowed down in his eyes. Lorenzo turned around and swung the sword, putting all his strength on the spiked sword On the top, the sword light flashed and hit the twisted arm in mid-air.
Cutting through flesh and bone, the scorching holy silver and the ignited pure flame maximized the damage, just like cutting butter with a hot knife, the arm snapped.
Hot blood spilled out, heating up the already stuffy space.
The pure flame burned on the bloated flesh, but not long after it burned, it was covered by the rapidly proliferating flesh. This thing was more difficult than imagined.
"I don't know how it became like this. Originally, we were going to study it and try to find information about inferior secret blood. But after it was taken out of the containment cube, it woke up and its temperature continued to rise. "
"What about your invincible modern firepower? Even demonization takes time. Why didn't you kill it as soon as possible?"
Lorenzo swung his sword again and cut off the thick flesh and blood. But the strange thing was that all the flesh and blood cut off by Lorenzo would be slowly devoured by the demon soon after, and the severed limbs would fuse with it again, just like Same with waste.
Demonization takes time, and even if a demon hunter wants to completely demonize it, it needs a certain amount of preparation time. Before it completely loses control, it may be killed.
"Do you think we haven't thought about it? Its demonization was very rapid. When we mobilized heavy firepower, it could already rely on self-healing to withstand the damage, and didn't you notice? Lorenzo, its demonization is still there It keeps going and has no intention of stopping!”
Arthur growled.
Along with the roar, there was the child-like scream. This time, several arms surged out from the twisted flesh and blood, carrying viscous liquid and waving their sharp claws.
It was only at this time that Lorenzo realized the horror. It was different from the appearance of the monster when he first saw it. It had swelled several times in just such a short period of time during the battle, but this was not the end.
"So what are you going to do? Blow up this level? But this is underground!"
Lorenzo questioned. There was no room for him to dodge in the narrow corridor. He stepped back and swung his nail sword, but even so, several attacks still hit Lorenzo. Between the solid armor and There was a dazzling fire splashing on it.
"What to do, of course, execute on the spot, we always do this!"
Arthur roared, but this time there were two voices, one coming from the communicator and the other coming from the steam-filled corridor behind Lorenzo.
"Get out of the way Lorenzo!"
Arthur's figure rushed out of the fog, dragging a heavy triple fire gun in his hand.
The high-pressure gas detonated in an instant. Under its impetus, the solid electric spears were directly activated, and in an instant they penetrated the mist and hit the bloated flesh.
This weapon was originally used to deal with the Original Sin Armor. The strong spear will jam the joints of the armor, and the disrupted current will also interfere with the work of the machine. But to the demon, this weapon is essentially a charged iron spear, Arthur It's unclear whether this will work, since this is one of the few weapons he has at the moment.
The galloping steel penetrated the twisted arm, but soon the iron spear began to bend, and the extreme temperature in the flesh melted it within ten seconds. The broken steel fell, and the demon screamed.
"Damn things!"
Arthur cursed angrily.
"We need to lure this thing out into the open."
Lorenzo continued his plan, and he was still a little happy after seeing Arthur.
"I thought a leader like you would be hiding in a safe house and commanding remotely... I didn't expect you to go deep into the front line without even bringing any troops with you!"
Looking at Arthur who was alone, Lorenzo didn't know whether his words were a compliment or a mockery.
"If I could, I'd really like to hide in a safe house somewhere."
Arthur said unabashedly, throwing away the triple gun in his hand. This thing was considered a disposable weapon to a certain extent because it was too troublesome to reload.
The first thing Arthur did after the demon lost control was to cover Merlin's departure. The purification agency has not completely abandoned alchemy yet. Once Merlin dies, it will cause a huge disruption in the technology of the purification agency.
Merlin's life was much more valuable than Arthur's. The demon defeated the security forces while protecting Merlin. Arthur also sent Merlin out of the blockade at the last moment, but he failed to leave because he delayed time and attracted the demon's attention.
"An open area? Go to Concentrated Containment Room No. [-]!"
The map of the entire containment area was spinning in his mind, and many Arthurs found a suitable location to fight, which was where the demon escaped from trouble.
"We have to take a detour, we can't let the demon go to the No. [-] containment room."
"Are there some monsters there that cannot be released?"
Lorenzo asked.
The most dangerous aspect of containing monsters is that after one escapes, he wreaks havoc and brings other monsters with him to escape. It is even said that if it is dealt with too late, even the humans who resist will be eroded into monsters.
"No, it was those who failed to escape the blockade. We injured many people fighting this ghost."
This is where Arthur stayed before. The survivors hid in the No. [-] containment room, waiting for reinforcements, but unexpectedly it was Lorenzo who was waiting.
"Then you'd better run faster, this monster is far more deadly than you realize."
Lorenzo warned that the rising temperature was the most deadly weapon. Ordinary people would be knocked unconscious by the hot air just by getting close, not to mention the mental erosion.
"Follow me...be careful!"
Arthur was just about to take Lorenzo to the centralized containment room No. [-], but at this moment, the speed of the slow-moving demon suddenly increased sharply.
Lorenzo naturally noticed this abnormality. He turned around and swung his nail sword, facing the extending claws head-on. Arthur dodged the attack with a flying dive. Although it was the product of the Rangers' plan, Yas Ser is essentially just a strong ordinary person, not Lorenzo's monster with secret blood.
"Damn!"
Arthur couldn't help but cursed angrily. The temperature of the water on the ground was very high, and it had become a furnace at some point.
"Stay away Arthur!"
The sound of metal came from behind, and Lorenzo cut off several arms again, but under the terrifying vitality, the demons continued to multiply, as if there was no end.
"very hungry!"
The child-like voice sounded again, and then a ferocious mouthpart split open on the flesh. The remaining arm grabbed the flesh and blood chopped off by Lorenzo, and then fed it into the scarlet mouthpart, making a splintering sound. A soft cracking sound.
Lorenzo's scalp was numb. He had never seen such a monster before.
More claws swung over. Fortunately, because of the narrow space, the trajectory of the demon's attack could be easily predicted. Coupled with the protection of the armor, Lorenzo could barely fight against it.
But perhaps because the battle used all his attention, he didn't notice that the metal around him began to burn slightly red, and the water under his feet boiled, rising into hot steam.
The light was dispersed by the mist. Although the distance from Lorenzo was not far, he could only see a blurry black shadow at this moment, and the rising steam had blocked most of his vision.
"What a terrifying power..."
Arthur couldn't help but sigh, not only because of the fear of the demon, but also of Lorenzo.
Now the air temperature has reached an extremely harsh value. Even Arthur, who has gone through the Ranger Plan, feels like his breathing is burning in his throat at this moment. Coupled with the constant high-temperature steam that is spreading, it will be difficult to stay awake. It's a difficult thing, but this witcher can still fight.
Every slash was extremely precise and even had some leftover power.
Lorenzo himself was completely unaware of this. The current temperature is still within an acceptable range. When he was fighting Ed, the pure flame that Michael burned everything was the real horror.
The demon hunter was still looking for an opportunity to strike a fatal blow. The proliferated flesh and blood could no longer be killed by a nailed sword. Even if he was stabbed, Lorenzo could not guarantee that he could penetrate the layers of flesh and hit the heart. His trump card now rests on Winchester.
After meeting Dean Lawrence, Lorenzo made two special holy silver bullets with his own hands. Different from ordinary holy silver-coated deer bullets, these were single warheads made entirely of holy silver. Pure holy silver would carry them. Penetrating flesh and blood with huge kinetic energy, of course, the premise is that Lorenzo can find the fatal position.
He only had two chances.
"So come on!"
Lorenzo suddenly took off his armor, and his skin was directly exposed to the high-temperature steam. The burning sensation cut his nerves, but he didn't care, and he raised the nail sword and pulled it away from his wrist. a hole.
When the blood drips, it also drips with strange restlessness.
The monster is eager for food, so you might as well use food to lure it. It smelled the smell of blood, and then made a sound of excitement. The bloated body was writhing like a worm in the tunnel, and the speed was obviously much faster than before. .
A weird laugh sounded, like an innocent child, but what was abominable was that the sound came from the terrifying flesh and blood.
