Our family is in decline

"grown ups!"

The call awoke Lance from his thoughts. At this time, his eyes had completely adapted to the sunlight outside. When he opened them, he could see his teammates waiting in the ruins of the camp outside.

"I discovered the Ascension Sect's hidden stronghold at the marking point. They are indeed running this place."

Lance briefly explained his findings to them, but did not mention the big box.

In fact, Disma and the others didn't care at all. In comparison, they cared more about Lance's safety.

Lance's back and forth probably only took half an hour, but it also caused them a lot of stress.

There is no way, Lance is the meaning of Hamlet's existence, and it is also the core that these followers need to protect with their lives.

But now that Lance is out safely, they can finally let go of their worries.

"Hoo~ the fresh air is so nice." Lance took a long breath, as if he wanted to exhale the stench accumulated in his lungs, and then called a few people to move in the direction of Hamlet.

"Let's go back and have a good rest."

Lance had no intention of procrastinating any longer, and now he just wanted to go back to take a shower and go to bed.

It's just that some things are not completely within his control.

After taking a few steps, Lance seemed to feel something. He stopped and looked forward with a solemn expression.

This familiar feeling...

"What's wrong, boss?" Boudica looked forward, but there was nothing.

Boudica couldn't see it, but Lance could see the real space shaking, and an evil force was peering at him.

"Something's wrong, prepare to fight!"

As soon as he finished saying this, the force broke through the barrier of reality, and a skull was locked in a prison hood, and the monster's body was wrapped in a wide yellow robe, suspended in the air.

Isn’t this the old friend collector!

Only then did Lance realize something. When he put on the showroom, he also had the trait of [Collector's Gaze].

It's just that I haven't encountered him for so long, and gradually I forgot about it. I didn't expect that he would suddenly appear here.

Boudica and Tardif have never encountered a monster like the Collector, because although the ones they encountered before were strange, it was still difficult to break away from the concept of flesh and blood, and the Collector's skeletal head and twisted and deformed body made people feel shudder.

Not to mention that it appeared so strangely that it immediately made the two of them feel intensely uneasy.

"The elders never warned me of something so...evil."

"Damn it, I curse this damn place!"

In contrast, Disma, who had seen and fought with him before, could still remain calm when he saw the Collector, but the problem could be seen from the solemn look on his face.

He clearly remembered how embarrassing that battle was. If the lord hadn't sacrificed his life to blow up the monster, they might have stayed there forever.

But compared to them, Lance was as excited to see the collector's appearance as he was to see a relative he hadn't seen for a long time. The tired look on his face quickly disappeared, replaced by an exaggerated smile.

ecstasy! ! !

Before anyone else could react, Lance charged towards the Collector while laughing wildly.

"Hahaha!"

The Collector has hunted a lot of prey, who wouldn't look frightened when they see him? But I have never encountered anyone so arrogant.

It’s unclear whether the Collector is self-aware, but it definitely felt the strong malice in Lance’s laughter.

He raised his hand and pointed, and a powerful and strange force was released.

Lance saw a blue light shooting towards him in his eyes, and understood that it was the Collector's signature skill - Life Stealing!

There is no doubt that once you are attacked, your life force will be stolen and become its power.

But that was for ordinary people, and Lance didn't care about it at all, letting the weird blue light shine on him.

The powerful power brought by [Asylum] directly exempted him from this kind of damage, but Lance's pace did not stop, but the distance of more than ten meters was quickly crossed by him. There was finally no place to limit him in this vast place. .

Lance raised his hand, grabbed the giant sword and dropped it into his hand. He released all his power and swung the sword towards the Collector without any reservation.

"Kouya!"

The resentment that had been accumulated in the beast's cave for a long time was also released with this sword swing, and it was instantly furious like thunder.

The huge sword body actually became blurred under the blessing of that terrifying power, and the speed was even beyond the range of naked eye observation.

Everyone only heard a loud noise, as if something hard was being crushed. The next second, the collector who was still floating in the air flew out directly, and did not stop until he hit the ruins of the camp.

But as a monster that can travel between reality and the void, how could the Collector die like this?

Soon it floated up again, but this time everyone saw a large hole in the collector's yellow robe made of flesh and blood, and they could see the layers of heads and spines intertwined inside, like tentacles. A body formed by the limbs clinging to each other.

But now the monstrous and twisted body was almost cut open, and the countless heads and spines at the wound were turned into powder under the giant sword.

Of course, it was this strange body structure that blocked Lance's sword, otherwise he would have been cut in two.

And this kind of injury is far from making the Collector completely lose the ability to resist. On the contrary, you can see that the wound is being filled by the squirming head, spine and tentacles. Even the weird yellow robe is slowly repairing and actually appears. Flesh texture.

Lance seemed to realize something when he saw this. This collector was definitely stronger than the previous one.

Unable to watch it recover, Lance rushed forward again dragging the giant sword without hesitation.

Upon seeing this, the Collector directly summoned the collection, and three of the heads that made up its body flew out. These collections could be collected by the Collector. It is conceivable that he was also a powerful person in life.

At the moment of leaving the body, the spiritual structure made their bodies in life seem to be illusory, but it also showed its strange power.

However, they encountered an even weirder Lance, who swung his sword and swatted away the seemingly fierce collection like a fly, without even being able to stop Lance.

Lance's footsteps quickly shortened the distance between the two. When he got closer, the collector finally couldn't hold himself any longer. He unfolded the yellow robe and showed the collection to Lance who was approaching.

An ordinary person would probably be frightened by that terrifying appearance.

But who is Lance?

Will you be affected by these things?

I don’t feel as good as Brother Heba...

The giant sword was raised high into the sky in Lance's hand, and the muscles of his body began to rotate. Every time the giant sword fell, it accumulated more power.

"Kouya!"

Accompanied by a loud roar, all of this will explode at the moment of contact.

Because it lifted up the yellow robe on its own, you could see that the moment the sword blade came into contact with the collector's body, the collector's head was shattered, his spine was broken, and his twisted tentacles were cut off. There was nothing that could resist the sword's edge. It was simply overwhelming.

However, this time the Collector did not land, but flew out to avoid subsequent attacks. However, he could see that the crack that had just been filled was expanding again, even threatening the core.

If he does it again, I'm afraid he will be cut open.

The life and death crisis caused the skull to shake violently, and even kept hitting the prison hood, and the blue light was even stronger.

The collections that were shot away by Lance just now did not simply die. Instead, they quickly flew back and got into the yellow robe after being summoned.

Then he dug out three other collections with different shapes.

Faced with this situation, Lance also hesitated a little. He didn't understand the collector's purpose of changing the collection?

But the next scene made him understand something quickly.

The illusory body of the collection appears, and it can be vaguely seen that he should have been a clergyman of a certain church during his lifetime.

As soon as it appeared, it raised its illusory arm, and Lance saw extraordinary power blessing the Collector. The exaggerated wounds on his body healed faster, and his condition gradually recovered.

屮! Blood pack.

"Disma, kill the one who raised his hand!" Lance realized something and raised his hand to directly point to the collection, marking it out among the many collections.

Disma, who had just finished speaking and had been waiting for a long time, did not hesitate to pull the trigger towards the collection marked by the lord.

There was a gunshot and bullets roared out, but unexpectedly, something strange happened in the collection.

The figure of one of the collections appeared. It was a mercenary holding a large shield, blocking the marked collection.

In a miraculous display of extraordinary power, the bullet was actually affected and became sluggish when it came into contact with the illusory shield. Although it finally hit the head of the shield, the power was greatly reduced, and only some broken skin and flesh spattered.

"Damn it! Go help me, sir." Disma realized something was wrong when he saw this, and quickly loaded the next round. Call to your teammates at the same time.

After a short period of time, Boudica and Tardif finally realized something and rushed up after hearing this.

The one who was faster than them was Lance, but the large shield collection stood very firmly in front of the Collector, trying to block the incoming enemy and buy the Collector more time to recover.

It's just that in his opinion, collectors are just items that are sold first, let alone these collections. No matter how many tricks they make, they will still be killed. This is absolute confidence in their own power.

Without even using his sword, Lance rushed over and grabbed it.

The large shield composed of extraordinary power, which could even slow down bullets, failed to stop him at all. It was directly penetrated by the big hand. Even the illusory body was dispelled by some weird power, leaving only the twisted and monstrous body.

Lance didn't care about this. He grabbed the spine of the large shield collection and swung it like a meteor hammer towards the priest's collection.

The two heads collided with a muffled crackling sound. The illusory figure of the priest's collection was shattered directly. The head was smashed out, and the blood-adding ritual was naturally interrupted.

The head of the collection in Lance's hand was also crushed or stunned, making it look limp, and even the tentacles hung down.

After casually activating the sacrifice, Lance felt that the spirituality fed back by the collection was indeed more than what he had encountered before.

If that one was the [Apprentice] then this one is the [Elite] now.

But he had no more time to think about these things, because the collector was right in front of him.

He slashed out with his sword, but the collector also learned the lesson and directly separated a collection from his body to resist, while controlling other collections to attack.

The collectors' twisted methods have constructed their extraordinary bodies, including knights in full armor and holding long swords, muscular axe-wielding mercenaries, and strange-looking aliens holding spears...

No one knows how many collections the collector has, but it is obviously very powerful to be taken out by it.

Faced with the siege, Lance was completely fearless and didn't even have the intention of returning to defense. The giant sword had only one target.

With the blessing of power, the sword blade directly cut through the collection blocking the road, but when it fell on the collector, its power had also been reduced a lot.

And the attacks of the collections that emitted blue fluorescence also fell on Lance, slashing with long swords, adding giant axes, and piercing with sharp spears.

This scene immediately made Boudicca, who caught up, scream in surprise.

"Boss!"

This situation stimulated Boudicca, adrenaline surged, and her face with war lines was filled with rage.

“waaagh!!!”

He rushed forward quickly, rounded the halberd and made a jumping chop. The sudden burst of power caused the handle of the halberd to bend slightly, but the power it carried was also very terrifying.

The head of the mercenary collection closest to her was directly split in half, and the tentacle monsters living on it also died instantly.

But this was not enough, Boudica rushed forward again after landing, and the halberd directly poked another collection, directly scattering the already fragile figure.

On the other side, Tardif also swung the hook to pull the last one away from Lance, and swung the ax in his hand at the rotting head.

"Huhuhu~ Boss, are you okay?" Boudica leaned close to Lance, breathing heavily. It was obvious that the explosion just now was also a burden to her.

"It's okay, those guys can't hurt me."

What could happen to Lance? Those guys' attacks couldn't break through the defense at all. Instead, Boudica and the others suddenly came over and interrupted his rhythm.

But Lance can't blame them, because this is to save your companions who are willing to risk their lives.

"You get rid of those collections and leave the big one to me."

Lance didn't waste any words. He wouldn't give the Collector a chance to recover. He simply gave a few instructions and continued to charge forward, dragging his giant sword.

Boudica and the others couldn't see Lance's magic, but the Collector could feel that it seemed to understand that it was directly immune to extraordinary power, so the collection that flew out did not even show its body, and directly hit Lance with its head. go.

Lance rushed forward without even looking at him, and the first object that wanted to get close to him fell with a gunshot, and the Tianling Gai was knocked away.

"tui~" Disma bit open the paper bag containing the next bullet and spat out the stained paper scraps.

The two-wing advance of Boudica and Tardif also solved the remaining collection, opening the way forward for Lance.

The road ahead is clear...
