Chapter 181
Those modified Chimeras can.
Their souls and consciousness would not be suppressed by the unwarranted pressure from the superior. She deployed many such Chimeras as guards in the outer area of the tomb.
Recalling them... will at least buy the other side some time!
Zuo Jian, Zuo Jian to the side, paid no attention to the Sarkaz woman behind him struggling to chant the ancient incantation.
He doesn't need to care.
He thought that the unbroken connection told him he only needed to focus his attention on the guy in front of him.
Time resumed its flow, and Zuo Jian swung his Zuo Jian with the force to shatter everything! It pierced through the opponent's almost non-existent shield, sending his head into a close, intimate encounter with the wall in an instant!
Bang!!!!
The surrounding walls developed spiderweb-like cracks from the immense force, and Kuisatushta's skull even made a cracking sound.
However, it is clear that Zuo Jian has no intention of stopping.
The arm armor's power was still being applied, seemingly intending to crush the head behind the opponent's cheek!
"You're really tough. Is it because of your physical strength, or because of the magical shield that's been active since the very beginning?"
Zuo Jian spoke, his hand movements did not slow down in the slightest, as if the other person's eyeball would fly out along with the exploding skull in the next second!
"Father!!!!"
At that moment, Salus finally opened his mouth and shouted, and at the same time, the floor of the tomb began to tremble.
She knew the Chimeras arrived.
Once they join the battlefield, they will be able to --------
"Roar!!!!"
The roar of the Chimeras came from the passage. Just as Salus was expecting a familiar voice to appear in his sight, what he was greeted by was a blur of a figure flying through the air with a shockwave!
Before she could even react, the afterimage crashed into the end of the tomb with incredible speed, and at that moment, Salus heard a sound like flesh being crushed.
"... the... door to the tomb chamber?"
She stared in disbelief at what she had just bumped into at the end... it was one of the massive metal doors at the only passageway to the tomb...
The object was now embedded in the wall... surrounded by rings of exploding blood.
Judging from the splattered pieces of flesh nearby... that was the Chimeras she was trying to call for backup.
However, the other party was slammed into the wall along with the metal door, which was twisted by the immense force, and was completely crushed into a pile of fragments.
How could this be...? Is something coming in from outside?
And why was there only that one Chimeras?
What about the others?
She clearly remembered setting up a large number of...
Tap... tap...
As the footsteps drew closer, everyone immediately felt a chilling aura emanating from behind the passageway, where only half a door remained.
In the darkness, a claw-like hand reached out from one side of the door and gripped the metal door tightly. With a forceful pull, the remaining door was carelessly tossed aside like a toy.
Clang!
Crimson pupils emerged from the darkness as he entered the tomb, his clothes stained with blood.
Behind her were only severed limbs and broken bodies.
The Circular Saw was dragged along once more, emitting a piercing spinning sound. Its rotation also shed the blood clinging to it, revealing its terrifyingly cold gleam.
The next moment, the Confessors suddenly realized that the oppressive aura that had been in place for some time had disappeared.
In the corner, Zuo Jian shook off the pieces of armor that were stuck to his arm armor, and stepped over the headless corpse at his feet with a look of disgust.
Not enough----
There's far more than just this guy.
He wanted to continue.
Until these scum who trample on others... are completely eradicated!
"Not... enough... I can't fall down..."
Zuo Jian gasped for breath, his physical weakness beginning to creep over him. Even his ability to manipulate his outer flesh to help him was insufficient to stop his swaying body from collapsing.
In a daze, he seemed to see a pure white shadow appear in his vision.
The other person slowly walked up to her, then, as if noticing Laurentina at the end of the passage, she turned her head, lingering her gaze for a moment—
From Zuo Jian's perspective, the white Sarkaz woman stood in front of him, as if hugging him, stopping him from continuing to stubbornly endure.
"Thank you, stranger... You've already done enough, you don't need to push yourself anymore..."
"Look, is that your companion?"
The Zuo Jian seemed to be covered by a
He pulled her into his arms, and prompted by her words, he noticed Laurentina's red-glowing eyes at the other end of the passage before closing his eyes.
Then, as if relieved of something, Zuo Jian closed his eyes in the embrace of that illusory figure.
Then...
Thump----
Laurentina stared wide-eyed at the Sarkaz woman leaning against the wall in the corner, seemingly asleep.
The Zuo Jian is right there!
He was imprisoned inside that woman's body!
Wait for me... Zuo Jian, I'll rescue you right away... just wait a little longer...
Her eyes were red as she stared intently at the figure in the corner, then turned to the Confessors who were standing there. Her intense killing intent was so strong that it almost suffocated everyone.
However... compared to the monster that fainted in the corner, it was considerably weaker.
Is she in cahoots with that monster?!
And at this moment, the latter even killed their leader.
Since that's the case... the only monster that posed such a significant threat that they couldn't even move has already passed out.
They were numerous, facing a lone woman whose aura was far less dangerous than that of the monster...
Without a doubt, the advantage lies with them!
"Intruders... you will pay for what you did today—"
Standing at the very front, the Confessors, finally able to speak, stared wide-eyed as the world around him spun around him.
Then... he even saw his own body.
But... why is it only half full?
Thump----
His body fell, and even his unfocused pupils retained the same expression he had at the beginning.
Laurentina stepped forward and kicked the corpse on the ground aside as casually as if she were kicking away trash.
Are these guys... is it all because of them that Zuo Jian was taken away?
The Circular Saw roared, and with Laurentina's swing, it began to compose a symphony of slaughter.
Wait for me... Zuo Jian, I'll rescue you right away.
Wait for me! I'll rescue you from that woman who appeared out of nowhere right now!!
Chapter Sixteen, The Shark's Eyes Greed
Damn it.
His body was completely immobile, if Zuo Jian wasn't mistaken.
It's likely that the body, already in a state of extreme weakness, went on a rampage after being controlled by the user, causing the user to temporarily fall into a coma.
At least for now, he was completely unable to control this body.
Just like no matter how skilled a pilot is, when the machine he is piloting stalls, even the most elite pilot can only stand by and watch helplessly.
Although this analogy is quite impolite, it clearly reflects the current situation.
What's even more critical is that his alien consciousness as the "driver" was forcibly bound to this body for some reason.
Although she could still feel the connection between herself and Laurentina outside, at this moment it was just that—a connection.
It feels like an oversized signal jammer has been installed, telling you that you are indeed connected to a network, but that's all. Trying to access it? Sorry, you can't do it at all.
We need to find a way to resolve the current situation.
Zuo Jian sat down, trying to calm his overreaction and get his thoughts back on track, attempting to find a solution.
Think quickly, Zuo Jian.
Even though he had just made a statement that seemed to be trying to save everyone, upon reflection, he realized that every time he encountered such complex situations, he tried to get the Doctor to think about and analyze the situation and provide a suitable solution.
"Really... we can't let this go on."
He rubbed his forehead, looking around at the empty black space. There was nothing there; if this were a person's consciousness space, it would be far too empty.
Unless...
It shouldn't be so empty.
It turned out this way because of some special reasons.
What constitutes a special reason?
Zuo Jian lowered his head in thought, and then his mind recalled what he had seen when he first opened his eyes, and what Kuisatushta had said.
Something unusual, something that guy didn't expect... me?
If nothing unexpected happens, the soul currently controlling this body should be that of the deceased Sarkaz woman. Those guys used the other Collective Souls as shackles to bind her, probably to make her obey their commands.
However, an accident occurred.
Zuo Jian narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had noticed something.
If the ritual was actually divided into two parts, before the soul of the deceased was recalled to the body, there should have been another step...
This caused her soul to merge with those black Collective Souls, or rather, to become bound to those shackles.
And it was at this step that I was "sucked" in...
Damn it, thinking this, Zuo Jian unconsciously slapped his face. If his guesses so far hadn't been wrong, then he shouldn't have been dragged into this so easily.
But
[With this, my flesh and blood, they can share and amplify my consciousness, protecting your minds in the event of a mental attack...]
Then it was his turn to bear the burden.
Damn it.
If nothing unexpected happens, his approach would undoubtedly be the best in the face of mental attacks. He believed that, based on the current situation, he was indeed capable of withstanding all sorts of strange spells that directly target the mind.
But... how could he know that what the other party was really doing was gathering all the wandering Collective Souls around them and stuffing them all into a single body?
In this way, his own protective measures have become a power amplifier, a one-sided attack on himself.
However... considering that those so-called "Collective Souls" imposed such shackles on that girl, what about himself?
Could he also be "connected" to this, causing his connection with Laurentina to weaken?
As Zuo Jian pondered this, he suddenly noticed a slight twisting in his left hand. Then, under his gaze, a phantom-like, seemingly real but actually Thorn Chains slowly appeared on his wrist.
What's going on? I just guessed I was connected... Wait a minute.
Because of my own corresponding guess, subtle changes occurred in my consciousness... Does that mean I am now in control of this space?
From the moment the pupils open, it feels as if the body remains under one's own control.
