Bang!!

Gas explosions and loud noises coexist.

The young man's body flew upside down, his chest shattered and exploded, and he fell heavily onto the lawn a few meters away.

Blood, bone residue and internal organ fragments were scattered on the ground.

This person seems vulnerable, but Gilan knows in his heart that the opponent is actually not weak, and he can fight even against a Emblem-level fighter.

Except for being slightly weaker in power, it is simply a replica of "Axe Man".

But when it comes to Gilan, it's still not enough.

'Since it transcends the human category, "Iridescence" must also be able to Corruption...' Gilan thought to himself and walked forward expressionlessly.

But the broken body on the lawn bounced upright again!

The pieces of meat scattered around squirmed on their own, and then gathered back into the body consciously!

Its immortality is even better than Axe Man!

The young man's smashed head was also restored, but it just looked like an abstract painting, with eyes, nose, and mouth pieced together, not in their original positions at all.

"Human... you gave up a rare opportunity."

The twisted and horrifying face, the twisted and split mouth opened and closed, and made inhuman sounds.

"And you will also be punished by me."

Woo!!

After that, the man kicked his legs, twisted and spun twice in mid-air, and kicked him in a posture that violated the human body structure.

A sharp sound broke through the air, and Gilan finally showed a solemn expression.

This blow has exceeded the lethality that Prisoner Monster or Axe Man can cause.

Gilan raised his left hand, the colorful light twisted, and the triangular shield was blocked in front of him.

Boom!!

The strong and thick iron shield blocked the kick. At the same time, the young man's entire right leg was broken in reverse and the bones were exposed.

It was obvious that his weak body could not withstand such a high-intensity battle.

Ta-ta-ta!

But Gilan still took a few steps back. The arm holding the shield felt numb and the tiger's mouth hurt.

He looked up and saw the young man with a broken leg hunched over, leaning on the ground with both hands and one foot, crawling towards him like a deformed spider.

On the head hanging upside down, a creepy smile appeared on the twisted face.

Whoosh!

This person jumped in a weird posture and rushed towards Gilan.

Gilan's eyes were fierce, and an ax suddenly appeared in his right hand, and it suddenly struck out.

A second before the opponent's hands touched his, Demon-Hunting Axe's ax blade unexpectedly chopped off the opponent's head!

Click!!

The headless body fell down according to the inertia, and the pieced-together head rolled down. The twisted face showed a look of pain, and the torn mouth screamed hysterically:

"Ahhh! Ahhhhh!!"

Gilan knew in his heart that it was Demon-Hunting Axe's restraint on the evil being that had an effect. The unidentified monster in front of him had been severely injured by him.

"Damn 'consecration'! Damn 'Dawn Era'!!"

The head roars.

Bang!!

The pieced-together head suddenly exploded and turned into a handful of blood mist.

The screams stopped abruptly.

"Human, I remember you."

A message was delivered to Gilan's mind so suddenly.

There was only silence all around.

Gilan frowned and stood there.

In front of him is the headless body of the young man. As for the unknown existence, he has disappeared.

'What the hell is that guy...'

He had doubts in his heart.

After thinking for a moment, Gilan is certain that Louis Family must have mastered the mysterious power, and the person in power, Layton Lewis, is the servant of that unknown existence.

Louis Family still did not give up searching for his whereabouts. Fortunately, he sensed it in advance and took the initiative to leave the Assembly's apartment, so his hiding spot was not exposed for the time being.

'But hiding like this is not an option.'

Gilan Take a deep breath.

What happened tonight reminded him once again that this strange world is full of mysteries and full of dangers. Only if you are strong enough can you live well.

In this way, he will have the opportunity to enjoy this wonderful new life.

'I need Mystery Points, and I also need to understand <Branding Iron Secret Record> as soon as possible!'

Gilan said secretly.

He put away Demon-Hunting Axe, walked forward, bent down and tried to touch the young man's headless corpse, but the colored light did not appear.

Gilan felt a little sorry when he saw this, but he didn't stop, turned around and left quickly.

Horst Second District, in a rental apartment building.

In the living room, the white-haired old man Layton is sitting on the sofa waiting, with the eight subordinates standing behind him.

"Mr. Layton, Giancarlo has been away for half an hour..."

One of the strong men looked at the clock on the wall and said hesitantly.

The old nobleman didn't even raise his eyelids, he just said calmly:

"Don't worry, Mr. Iris is possessed. It will be a matter of time before we find that boy. Wait patiently. Later, we will need to force you to find out the whereabouts of the film in his hand."

"Don't worry, Mr. Layton." Another tall and thin man smiled. "We are good at this."

Several people looked at each other and were eager to try.

But at this moment, Layton, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly changed his expression.

He tilted his head as if listening to something.

Immediately, a look of horror suddenly appeared.

"Master! I didn't frame you! Please don't-ah!!"

Layton screamed.

Everyone behind him was shocked.

They saw Mr. Layton rolling to the ground, covering his right eye tightly, and blood flowing from his fingers.

The brand on the back of his right hand also oozed blood.

Astonishingly, I was punished by Lord Iris!

After the initial shock, everyone quickly came to their senses and hurriedly rushed forward, helping Mr. Layton to sit back on the sofa.

"Quick! Go find a doctor!" someone shouted.

So, the tall, thin man rushed out of the apartment without stopping and went straight to a nearby clinic.

The others found the medicine box and took out gauze to stop the old man's bleeding.

After the chaos subsides.

Layton calmed down and leaned on the sofa in silence.

No one dared to ask questions for fear of arousing the old man's anger.

In the dead silence, Layton thought of what his master had just said to him, and felt unbelievable... That boy actually defeated the possessed body of his master head-on, and judging from his furious attitude, he seemed to be injured!

The mysterious and powerful Lord Iris was actually injured!

Layton was shocked and angry.

He gave up two months of his life and got nothing in return... all he got was punishment from his master, for which he also lost an eye.

"Damn it!" the old man cursed angrily, his face turned livid.

He stood up suddenly and left the apartment without looking back.

Back home again.

When the old housekeeper saw his miserable appearance, he couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise and ran over with a changed expression. Several maids immediately started to scramble.

The three children Beatty, Kane and Cecil were in panic.

Layton pushed a few people away rudely and was about to go upstairs to his room to think about countermeasures.

Louis Family's eldest son, Pa, rushed into the apartment in a hurry. He seemed not to notice his father's strangeness, and said anxiously:

"Father, there is bad news... Kaba, the new boss who was just promoted by Oak Gang, is dead, and many people have died! The whole Oak Gang is basically paralyzed!"

"What's going on?!" Layton turned around and shouted angrily.

His already bad mood became even worse after hearing the bad news.

It's absolutely terrible!

The wound on the eye began to bleed crazily, and the severe pain made Layton's brain almost explode.

When the eldest son Pa saw his father's face after he turned around, he was frightened for a moment.

"What's going on! Tell me!" Layton didn't care about the blood on his face and was furious.

The eldest son Pa got excited and trembled:

"I heard that a deformed monster crawled out of the 'Fortune Well' inside the gang station. It seemed to be the transformation of a missing gang member. It killed many people... and a plague began to spread in the slums! Now it's chaos!"

Hearing the news, Layton couldn't breathe.

His vision went dark, and he fell straight down amidst everyone's screams.
