Soul Echo

Severe vibrations and roars emanated from the manor, and the soaring smoke even flew over the fence and drifted outside the manor.

Lili Lieber, who was hunting mutation artists between the farmhouse and haystacks, turned to look worriedly after killing the enemy in front of her.

She never knew Marta Count, a distant relative, nor wanted to get to know him, so she never exercised this right after she was granted the right to enter and leave Marta Manor freely.

My understanding of Marta count is limited to 'is a weirdo' and 'complicated relationship with my grandfather'.

apart from this, I don't know anything about it.

So, she didn't know why Marta Count suddenly... became that kind of monster.

In Lily's eyes, although Marta Count is a weird person, she is only a distant relative with a quirky personality and relatively cold, so she won't become like this...

However, the facts have been laid out. In front of her eyes, she couldn't help but question.

Maybe she didn't know the nature of Marta Count, or maybe something changed that she didn't know, but it's too late to say that, Marta Count has killed a demonhunter and changed became a monster.

——Those who are infected by the abyss must die!

sighed, Lily turned her head and looked towards the farm, and found that the artists of mutation were all beheaded by the excited adventurers.

After she and Lilian left the Marta Manor, they thought that the peasants who lived around the manor would be slaughtered, but didn't expect that a group of adventurers appeared out of nowhere.

Their skills are not superb, it can even be said to be crude, but they are fierce and unafraid of death, and they will even scream with excitement when fighting.

Under the protection of these adventurers, none of the farmers appeared in mortal danger. Instead, three of the adventurers died under the hands of mutant artists in order to protect the farmers.

Because the behavior of these adventurers is too magnanimous, Lily can't help but wonder, are they really adventurers? Are the adventurers now so noble?

And I don't know what's going on, these adventurers actually carry holy water on them.

Lily walked over with the axe and gun, and heard the group of adventurers excitedly discussing whether to rush into the manor.

"I advise you not to do that!"

Lily clenched her grip suddenly, stared at these arrogant adventurers, and gave a stern advice: "You guys I don't even know what's in the manor, it's something you can't deal with at all—"

Boom—! ! !

At this moment, with a loud noise, the ground shook violently.

The walls of many farmhouses were cracked, and the peasants hiding in the houses could not restrain their fear and screamed.

The livestock were also frightened to run around, and for a while, the farm was filled with the chaotic sounds of various animals.

"What the hell happened?"

Lily turned her head to the direction of the manor when she heard an adventurer scolding.

Part of the manor's wall had collapsed. Looking beyond the collapsed wall, Lily saw a huge shadow crawling on the ground.

The monster represented by the shadow waved his tentacles and attacked himself.

"Don't worry, the teacher won't die so easily!" Lilian walked over, patted her chest, and said confidently, "The oppression that monster brought me has not been seen in Milan before. The demon that arrived was stronger—the one that lurked beside the Grand Duke of Milan and opened the door to the abyss!"

Compared to Lily Lieber, Lilian felt that she was experienced and knowledgeable enough .

She followed Zhong Ye all the way, dealt with cultists, killed aberrations, defeated demons, and even participated in an action to kill false gods. Not Lily Lieber's Princess, who grew up in the palace, can be compared.

"...Is that so?" Lily was still a little worried.

She didn't know who Lilian was talking about, but she was able to open the door to the abyss, and she knew that the demon was very powerful.

The monster turned into by Marta Count brings Lilian's oppression not as strong as that demon, that is to say, Marta Count is weaker than that demon?

"Of course!" Lillian nodded his head, "teacher killed that demon at almost no cost. Now he is stronger than before, and wants to defeat that demon. Head monster, don't you have the words at hand?"

Lily pursed her lips and turned her eyes to the battlefield.

And then found that just as they were talking, those tentacles that were waving wildly were already disappeared.

Is this... Zhong Ye defeated Marta Count?

If it is a complete victory, it is definitely not, however, Zhong Ye has come to the place where the 'soul' of Mata Count is.

Under that thick flesh and blood, there is a wicked soul.

Even if the psychic vision is not opened, Zhong Ye can smell the rotten smell emanating from in the depth of one's soul only by his own perception ability.

He opened the flesh under his feet and saw the window hidden under the flesh.

Zhong Ye didn't plan to go in, and from the very beginning he didn't plan to go to the soul of Marta Count.

The size of a human being is too different from that of this flesh-and-blood giant beast, and it is impossible to kill this body with the long knife in his hand.

If there are artillery or bombs around, he will definitely use artillery or bombs without the slightest hesitation, but it is a pity that the surrounding farms and fields do not exist.

So, he can only find another way.

——Since you can't kill the body, then just kill the soul!

How inconvenient is martial arts?

The iris lights up, the breath is heavy, and the psychic energy and 'qi' converge on the blade at the same time.

Listening to the many heartbeats from that huge body, more than a dozen heartbeats beat one after another, providing life force for Marta Count.

However, perhaps it didn't even notice that when these hearts were beating, every five seconds, there would be a subtle resonance.

That resonance is like a sound wave of clean sound quality, which can produce extremely clear feedback when it hits an object.

Through the resonance of these hearts, before walking to this place, Zhong Ye had already figured out what was under the layers of flesh and blood.

In this body, he also found several structures similar to the brain, so it is very difficult to kill this body.

The regeneration of the tentacles is not over yet, and Marta count can only use psionic energy.

The torrent of psychic energy suddenly spewed out from under his feet, Zhong Ye pulled out the blue bird at the right time and pinned it into the flesh and blood that his feet were stepping on.

The substantial blade cut through the tide of psionic energy, and the surging power surged past Zhong Ye, but failed to hurt him.

Breathing-breathing!

Zhong Ye suddenly pulled up the straight knife and threw it back.

But the dozen or so regenerated tentacles rose up, covered the sky again, and slapped down fiercely.

The blue bird chirped to stop Xingyun, and the dozen or so tentacles snapped.

Only a line of sunset sank into the back of the distant mountain range, and darkness descended on the earth.

In the darkness, there is a gleam of light shining!

The force starts from the ground, from the waist to the body.

The power originating from the limbs is driven by the breath, rolling into the arms, and condensing on the blade.

The veins in the arms gripping the handle of the knife burst out, and the muscles swell.

The blade radiated a shimmer of light, which illuminated Zhong Ye's face, and also revealed the ugly body of Marta Count.

The glowing eyes stared at the layer of flesh and blood under his feet, but his sight penetrated the barrier of layers of flesh and blood and saw the soul of that chaos.

As a result, he twisted his muscles, pulled his arms, and chopped off the long knife held high.

"—Death!"

Qi Jin, wrapped in psionic energy, penetrated into the flesh and blood, and separated the soul of Mata Count and Zhong Ye's own at a distance of more than ten meters. The soul is connected.

The strong will slammed into Marta Count's empty soul through this weak connection, and it failed to make any effective resistance and was wiped out of self-consciousness.

The stirring flesh, the high-spirited tentacles, all ceased in this brief moment.

Zhong Ye took a deep breath and turned to leave.

He raised his hand, held and pulled at the sky, the blue bird chirped and returned to his hand.

Behind Zhong Ye, flesh and blood slowly melted away, little by little turned into ashes and was carried away by the cold wind.

The battle was over, but Zhong Ye didn't get anything, he just felt an emptiness in his heart.
