A Grueling Battle
A red light emerged from the gaps in the tightly bound tree roots. The next moment, the roots exploded, releasing a bright crimson light, and a suit of armor radiating red light burst forth from the flying logs.
"Hahaha, that's it, that's it! Let the attack come even more fiercely!" The armored warrior brandished his halberd, and behind him floated a scarlet monster phantom, which then let out an excited roar.
The broom-headed spirit weapon is called the Sangeriel's Halberd. Its name comes from the Sengruier massacre ten years ago, when a terrifying, bloodthirsty behemoth appeared in the ordinary city of Sengruier.
The blood-red domain of the Blood Beast covered the entire city, stirring up everyone's nerves and turning the city's inhabitants into bloodthirsty and warlike beings. When the Blood Beast was defeated, less than a quarter of the city's original population remained, most of them dying in senseless infighting.
Furthermore, those who survived in that city either developed a homicidal addiction or suffered mental breakdowns, spending the rest of their lives confined to beds in mental hospitals.
Broomhead was one of the few survivors of Sengruier. He was only ten years old that year and was one of the few children who survived. Later, in the juvenile detention center, he killed everyone, including the security guards.
He was then noticed by the Cordila Group, who subsequently gave him the halberd that sealed the Blood Beast. The broom-headed man was officially renamed Sengruier, though most people called him the Son of Blood.
As it turns out, the Cordila Group's judgment was correct. The broom-shaped haircut was a perfect match for Sangeriel's Halberd, and their spirits were very compatible. As a result, Sengruier, who is only twenty years old, has already been promoted to an A-level Spirit Envoy.
Despite his flaws such as bloodthirstiness, warlike nature, arrogance, and contempt for the company's lower-ranking spirit messengers, isn't he still a good deal? Especially since Sengruier is very protective of the Cordila Group, which can help him deal with the murder troubles.
"It's actually a deeper level of ability resonance!" Lansa, who was observing from a distance, bit her lip in frustration, knowing that the chances of successfully suing Sengruier at the company were getting lower and lower.
Ability resonance is generally an ability that only A-rank spirit users can master. In fact, most A-rank spirit users cannot do it. The characteristic of this ability is that after a full-force battle, a strange phantom image of a spirit weapon will appear behind the user to seal it.
In this situation, the Spirit Envoy's combat power is nearly doubled by the strange phantom, and Sengruier, who has mastered the ability resonance, gains an even higher status within the company.
Lansa knew all too well the true nature of the Cordila Group; they only cared about results and the gains and losses. Compared to Sengruier, who could resonate with abilities, the death of a few C-rank and B-rank spirit envoys was nothing.
The battle raged on relentlessly. Sengruier wielded his halberd, destroying anything in his path. The Twins could only flee, using their Deformity Impact to create all sorts of monsters.
Most of the attacks were blocked by the crimson aura and armor on Sengruier's body. On the contrary, the Twins were seriously injured if they were grazed by his halberd. Judging from his excited and frenzied appearance, the Twins would be the first to give out if this continued.
"Come on, come on, come on! Don't always run away, resist, and then be killed by me!!" Sengruier seemed completely insane, but his fighting instincts gradually forced the Twins towards the open space, where Twins would have no more creatures to rely on and could only obediently be killed.
Meanwhile, Captain Fred breathed a sigh of relief. He was surrounded by broken wood, and his body was covered in bruises. His strength and spiritual energy had not been fully restored, and he was covered in green tentacles, so he dared not move.
The two guys were fighting fiercely over there, and wood chips and scraps were flying everywhere, hitting him. He didn't dare to move, and he didn't even dare to tense up. He had to relax his body, otherwise he estimated that the tentacle in his pants would be pinched off.
After some time, the tentacle seemed to die and stopped moving. His strength had recovered somewhat, and the two terrifying creatures had left. Only then did he slowly stand up and carefully pry open each tentacle on his body, one by one, afraid of breaking it and causing the juice to splatter.
When the last one was pulled out, Fred quickly threw it aside. He saw it twitch twice before slowly withering away. Wiping the cold sweat from his brow, Fred hurriedly dragged his large iron ball to safety.
"That bastard Lansa, she didn't even take me with her when she retreated." Fred grumbled inwardly, but that was all he grumbled. In that situation, retreating directly was the best option. If Fred had been in command, he probably would have ordered the retreat much sooner.
"Hey, is that Zack?" Fred glanced at the tuft of green hair as he dragged the iron ball away, sighed, and thought, "There aren't many honest kids like that anymore. I never expected him to die here. Don't worry, Zack, we'll treat your girlfriend well."
Fred had no desire to linger there and wanted to leave quickly, dragging the iron ball along. But suddenly, he felt as if the iron ball was stuck on something. He pulled hard, but found that it wouldn't budge.
Turning around cautiously, Fred saw some green tentacles that had somehow gotten caught on the iron ball's chains, and then he saw even more green tentacles emerge from under Zack's body.
Green tentacles supported Zack's body, and Fred then noticed that the handle in Zack's hand had completely cracked open, indicating that the monster sealed inside had escaped.
Based on past experience, due to the resonance between the spirit messenger and the spirit weapon, the strange creatures sealed inside the spirit weapon have a very high degree of compatibility with the spirit messenger. Therefore, every time the spirit weapon breaks, those strange creatures will usually choose to fuse with the spirit messenger.
In most cases, a new anomaly will form, but in very rare cases, a human will will control the anomaly, Avatar a fusion entity distinct from both spirit messengers and other anomalies.
At this moment, Zack's situation was similar to that of the Amalgamator. He was hit by the Twins's Deformity Impact. What is Deformation? Generally speaking, it refers to abnormal development of body organs or parts, such as those of infants.
Struck by the Twins Deformity Impact, and infected by life, the organism's body will begin to undergo abnormal mutations. These mutations are extremely unstable and will collapse on their own within minutes or hours.
Regardless, this abnormality saved Zack's life, preventing Zack from dying immediately despite being shot in the head. Meanwhile, the plant-like anomaly within Zack's spirit weapon, after absorbing the Life Pollution, gained abnormal power for a short period, breaking the weapon's seal.
Normally, both would collapse and die within minutes, but due to the resonance, they underwent a deep and comprehensive fusion, a distorted combination that actually stabilized their condition, transforming them into a distorted fused entity.
This is the third update. There should be one more update before midnight to make up for the 400 extra monthly votes. That will complete all the bonus updates.
