Overturned Tower

Among the black cherry blossoms all over the sky, claws that were bigger and more terrifying than the previous claws, claws burning with black flames, creaked out of the flames.

The sound was like an ancient tree uprooting its roots.

Just like in the illusion, Russell held the hand of Delphinium.

His ferocious karmic fire claws also tightly held the spears of the vines that pierced through him.

They were supposed to be plants, but now they made miserable squeaking noises, like scalded mice.

That's not burning—it's devouring.

Those vines were scorched, and gradually became dark and hard, and then gradually turned dark red like ashes.

"Bud Lovers" has a violent horror for it.

It let out an unexplained shriek, and gave up on the vines that touched Russell.

Numerous bright red juices gushed out from the fracture like fresh blood. Cutting off a part of himself makes it incredibly weak.

But it is correct.

The vines were slowly inhaled by the flame, making horrible crunching and chewing sounds.

Through the perspective of those vines, the "budding lovers" finally barely understood the nature of this flame—

The flame was not burning in the void, but like an alcohol cotton ball burning with flames.

In the flames, there is an indistinct mist.

Under the stimulation of strong emotions, it suddenly began to emit a dim yellow shimmer.

…What it is?

What monster is that? !

Just getting in touch with Russell's essence through "broken limbs" and through his abandoned body made the budding lovers feel a kind of fear from the source.

It made a high-pitched hiss that only demons could understand.

In that fierce and violent cry, it was full of hesitation, confusion and fear:

This... is this human?

How could this be human?

Impossible, absolutely impossible, never never never never never deny, refuse, ah, ah, ah, ah—

On the other side, after swallowing a part of a complete and ancient demon, the appearance of Russell in the form of flames began to be further alienated from the initial posture.

Compared with the previous vertical pupil, there is one more vertical pupil—two vertical pupils like flowing liquid gold, which are Russell's only real organs that are exposed and related to the appearance of "Russell".

But that is not completely true, but a symbol of the re-condensation of the source of the holy order that was hammered into Russell's body with the forging of the final city.

He has a hideous appearance like a shadow demon—

With the continuous investment of "love", "hope", "mission", "reason" and other emotions that are "impurities" compared to anger, Russell's fire of anger has turned into pure black karmic fire.

Those flames burned his soul and formed his flesh and blood. It has no legs, and below the "heart" is nothingness composed of smoke.

And the dark red metal thorns roughly formed his bones and skin.

—It was the "Wedge of Pain" hatched from his body.

It failed to devour angels, but devoured demons—this made its appearance not holy and rational, but full of the chaotic distortion unique to demons.

Russell only felt that his consciousness became light.

Those scorching rational anger seemed to disappear in an instant.

It's like drinking too much, and it's like dreaming. He even stepped on the cotton, and everything in front of him was covered with an unreal filter.

Russell seemed to have come to the restaurant where he had his first meal with Delphinium.

Delphinium chuckled and sat opposite her.

Countless blue flames turned into flying birds, crashing into the "budding lovers" who wanted to escape, dragging the demon who was clearly in a state of chaos into an independent space with only blue.

While still looking around.

— which forms one of the two roses in the "head", suddenly pierced by black thorns.

"Here, I'll give you this. It's the best meat."

With a happy smile on the corner of Delphinium's mouth, he held a piece of meat and handed it to Russell's mouth.

Russell swallowed the piece of meat in one gulp, chewing happily.

— followed by another one, and then its whole body was densely pierced by steel thorns burning with black flames. It was exactly the same as when it penetrated Alice before.

The black flame burned and spread, and it let out a scream like a mouse.

"And this, try it too. It's rare to have such fresh meat."

Delphinium supported her chin with one hand, and picked up the roasted beef tongue with the other hand and fed it to Russell: "I'll eat it all for you, don't be angry."

"I'm not angry..."

Russell, who was being fed, only felt happiness, and said something inexplicably.

—The frightened demon tried to resist, but was nailed to the spine by endless pain.

It was dragged slowly and pulled into Russell's chest.

There was a scalp-numbing crunching sound.

"I can't eat anymore, I really can't eat anymore..."

Russell begged for mercy: "You can eat a little too. I'm really full...or is this some kind of punishment game?"

"If you can't eat it, don't eat it. If you eat too much, it will hurt your body."

Delphinium chuckled.

The next moment, the illusion in front of him gradually faded away.

With the gradually subsided anger returning, Russell's consciousness became clear again. It's like someone who drank too much and suddenly sobered up, and was pulled back from a place far away from the world in an instant, and the things in the dream began to be quickly forgotten.

He noticed that he had turned back into a human body, only some black flames were still burning on his fingertips.

This should be the compensation for being completely irritated this time... The flame he summoned from his heart has already surpassed the scope of the "fire of the furnace".

For the first time, he had such serious, violent anger. Even Russell himself was taken aback.

He would have been angry too...

And the demon who was still imprisoned in the ultramarine barrier of the "caged bird" had only a broken thorn left.

The two roses on its head have been completely burned, have lost their vitality, and gradually began to dissipate on the ground.

— but for some reason it gave Russell a sense of "relief."

Russell, who was inexplicably relieved, glanced at it indifferently.

And the demon curled up in fear, letting out a groaning sound.

In order to prevent it from harming the new host, Russell has been standing in the enchantment of the caged bird.

After the demon completely dissipated and turned into ashes, he revoked the enchantment of the caged bird.

The entire villa has been smoked to pitch black. All furniture and collections are scrapped.

Even those gardens disappeared, and the surviving neighbors had already woken up and fled in fear.

Only Russell was left alone, standing in this huge villa that had been turned into ruins.

...The incident is now resolved.

But a subtle nausea, as if eating durian, still remained between Russell's lips and teeth.

And at this time, the God's Vessel, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly appeared behind Russell again with a smile in the form of Alice.

"I thought you would want to imitate it. After all, its psychic power is really strong."

"Don't make this kind of joke, it's a little disgusting."

Russell sighed: "If you can, you can, but if you don't want to, you don't want to...

"I can't have such a selfish love. It makes me sick to my stomach... Just thinking about it makes me sick to my stomach. No, it seems to be really sick to my stomach..."

"Did you eat your stomach?"

"Tsk... there is something wrong with the dinner I bought on a bad day."

Under the setting sun, the clouds burn like fire.

Russell was alone, talking to himself, and hurried away: "Go back and punch him hard~www.readwn.com~ This villa doesn't even have a door, so he can only find another place to rush back .

He failed to capture the demon alive, so it seemed that this month's bonus would have to be reimbursed again.

—But perhaps, it would be a better result if this kind of psychic power is not used by the company.

The most gratifying news for Delphinium is that the innocent girl who was controlled by psionic energy to jump off the building will no longer appear.

When you get back, tell her the good news at her bedside.
