Twelve lead pellets the size of cold capsules, accompanied by fireworks, burst out from the muzzle of the gun and smashed Axe Man's head into pieces.

Brains, eyeballs, scalp, hair and bone fragments were flying everywhere.

Axe Man, which had lost most of its head, only had a grinning chin, half-open, with teeth and tongue clearly visible. Its whole body flew backwards with an ax in hand, and fell down in the mud puddle.

Gilan put away the triangular shield, held the shotgun in one hand, and looked at the corpse in front of him coldly.

"It's slightly weaker than Prisoner Monster..." he commented.

However, just as he was about to step forward to Corruption Axe Man's body, the other party's headless body actually got up again!

Holding the short-handled ax tightly in his hand, he rushed forward faster than before!

Gilan raised the shotgun and fired with a bang!

Bang!!

Another shot.

Axe Man's remaining chin and even his neck were smashed to pieces, but he only paused for a moment and then continued to charge towards Gilan, like an unbeatable monster!

"It's endless!" Gilan showed a ferocious expression.

He simply put the short shotgun into the dimensional space, advanced instead of retreating, and rushed towards Axe Man.

The opponent's headless and bloated body raised its thick arms and raised the ax to strike, but Gilan was one step faster!

I saw him stepping forward, taking two steps forward in the blink of an eye, turning sideways, bending his right leg in front of him, and then suddenly kicked out, letting out a loud scream that broke through the air!

'Bone-Crushing Kick!!'

Boom--boom!!

This kick hit Axe Man right in the chest.

I saw a circle of air explode from the center of the soles of his feet, tearing the skin and muscles on Axe Man's chest, and even shattering the bones and internal organs inside, like a layer of flesh and blood ripples, until even the mist around his body was shaken away.

The hatchet came out of his hand, spun, and landed with a clatter.

The pale headless body was kicked out with a terrible big hole!

The whole body was like a tattered rag doll, flying upside down five to six meters away, scattering scattered flesh and blood tissue, and hit the ground heavily.

It even rolled and continued to drag for three meters.

"Huh..."

Gilan stood straight on the spot, instinctively adjusting his breathing rate and exhaling a long breath.

He glanced at the motionless corpses in the distance and felt excited.

'This is the real power of "Bone-Crushing Kick"... There is indeed a big difference between practice and actual combat. Facing a real enemy, the effect of this kicking technique is obviously stronger than kicking a dummy, no, much stronger!'

Gilan bent down to pick up the ax that the opponent dropped on the ground. Iridescence's colors twisted and moved, forming a skewed text description above it:

"Orlando's Demon-Hunting Axe. The ax handle is made of 'consecrated' cherry wood. The ax head is forged from alloy steel, with trace amounts of mysterious materials 'tin sulfur' and 'salt crystals' added. It is extremely tough and sharp, resistant to wear and corrosion, and has strong lethality against evil creatures."

"This is 'Exorcist' Orlando·Peter's beloved axe, which will never leave his body... unless he dies."

The short-handled ax weighs about 15 pounds and is about 75 centimeters long. The ax head is iron-gray in color, rectangular in shape, with a flat top and a sickle-like curve at the bottom. However, the ax blade is opened at the front end and is covered with wear marks.

The dark red ax handle is not straight, but has a certain curvature. The upper end passes through the blunt part of the ax head and is caught by a drop-shaped metal ball. There are three tongue structures at the connection between the lower part of the ax head and the ax handle, making the whole thing quite solid.

The handle of the ax handle is tightly wrapped with unknown brown leather, which feels very textured in the hand.

Gilan was playing with the ax and thinking:

'It's Exorcist's weapon again...'

He looked at the tattered corpse in the mud pit again, and couldn't help but guess whether the other person was Orlando himself.

Gilan couldn't confirm, but his intuition told him that it was probably the case.

The opponent is not weak, at least at the level of a Emblem-level fighter. In addition, Axe Man is extremely powerful, which is in line with Gilan's impression of Exorcist... After all, with the weight of that triangular shield, it is not something that ordinary people can pick up and fight casually.

Overall, he is very satisfied with the Demon-Hunting Axe in his hand.

The feeling of cutting people with a wood ax in "Black Lake" was quite fascinating to him, but unfortunately it was not durable and broke with just a little force, and it could not be taken out of the movie.

But with this Demon-Hunting Axe, you don't have to worry about that.

Gilan tried to wrap it with "Iridescence", and it was successfully absorbed into the dimensional space.

Only then did he realize that his dimensional space seemed to be a little larger than before, just enough to accommodate Demon-Hunting Axe... He had originally thought about giving up the triangular shield to make room, but now he felt relieved.

After thinking about it, Gilan could only attribute this change to the fact that he drank enough lake water under Black Lake, which made Gnosis improve and led to the expansion of the dimensional space.

After doing this, Gilan strode forward and came to the broken headless corpse.

It was only then that he discovered after careful inspection that Axe Man had a scarlet mark on the armpits of both arms, the inside of the forearms, the navel and even the lower body.

This mark is different from the magic circle mentioned by Maive, but more like multiple concentric circles superimposed at different angles, with some small pentagrams and strange symbols mixed in the middle.

Gilan couldn't understand, so he didn't waste time and bent down to touch the corpse.

Wait for it to fly away quickly Corruption.

The colored number "0" in his eyes jumped and turned into "15".

'15 o'clock Mystic Energy... Well, although Axe Man is not as destructive as Prisoner Monster, it is far more difficult to fight. If the two meet, Axe Man will most likely win with its invincibility.'

Gilan thought.

At this time, there was a burst of footsteps behind him.

Turning around, he saw Maive, a girl in a white dress and double ponytails, holding up her skirt and holding a book, arriving with doctor Brennan beside her.

"Mr. Gilan!" Maive called out in surprise and trotted over. "I heard Dr. Brennan say that he was being chased by a strange Axe-Wielder, and then he heard gunshots... it turned out to be you."

"Well, I got lost in the thick fog and happened to run into the man you just mentioned... but I fired a few shots and he was injured and escaped."

Gilan said casually.

Maive and Brennan were not suspicious and just nodded.

"We'd better be careful and don't get separated. After all, this village is really weird and dangerous." Maive suggested. "And doctor Brennan just told me that he found the map."

"It's in the red brick house in front." Doctor Brennan pointed to the big banyan tree on the left side of the road.

Of course Gilan knew this, but he still pretended to be surprised.

"In that case, let's go take a look." He said.

Afterwards, the three of them went to Scribe's residence again. But this time, Dr. Brennan tore off the map, collected it in a roll, and took it with him.

After leaving the red brick house, they returned to the square along the same route.

Then we walked along the main road and went straight into the depths of the village.

There are some dilapidated stone and wood bungalows along the way, but not a single person can be seen. There is thick fog and silence all around.

After marching for almost five minutes, the three of them arrived at another smaller square and saw a horrifying scene.

I saw a three-meter-tall rough stone statue standing in the center of the square. It seemed to be a strong and naked man with no head and clear muscle lines. His hands were clenched and raised in the air, giving an angry look.

The stone statue has long lost its original color and is dark red.

Because its surface is covered with fresh or coagulated blood.

Surrounding it were seven or eight rickety figures in dirty linen robes. These people had hollowed out and mended bloody wolf heads and put them on their heads as hoods. Each of them held a torch high and held a saw or a bone-chopping knife in his hand.

There were corpses and broken limbs scattered around the feet, including men and women, old and young. Their deaths were miserable and horrific, their faces hideous, either frightened or in pain.

At first glance, there were no less than thirty or forty corpses!

The man with the wolf head seems to be performing some kind of blood sacrifice ritual!

Plop!

Gilan turned around and saw that the girl Maive had fallen to the ground, her face full of fear and her pretty face turned pale, as if she had seen the thing that frightened her the most.

Brennan Doctor endured the discomfort and nervousness, and went to help her with concern, but she held her tightly with her backhand.

"Let's go! Let's go quickly!"

Maive urged tremblingly, panicking.

"It's... it's 'Heavenly Bane Cult'! We can't be discovered by them!"
