Chapter 245
"Let's go then."
——
Perhaps it was because Hoshikage Hisomi specially sent someone to pick him up.
Apart from the pilot, there was no one else on the helicopter that Luo Mio, Rentaro, and Enju were riding in.
Looking out the window.
"Uncharted Territory"
The territories lost by humans in the Gastrea War have now been completely transformed into a paradise for Gastrea.
Below, the former city has long since become Ghost Town, with various plants blending in with the dilapidated ruins of buildings and residential buildings, just like what Luo Mio had seen in Northern Europe at noon that day.
And from this, you can vaguely see a shadow flashing through the ruins; it was probably Gastrea that once belonged to humans.
On some of the large trees, you can even see the mangled limbs or faces of people that have become one with the tree. On other trees, you can also see the remains of guns, cannons, tanks, and airplanes.
These are the remnants of humanity's defeat from the Gastrea War ten years ago.
Luo Mio's azure eyes swept across the area below.
"Just like in Northern Europe... even if you kill them all, Gastrea from other places will just come running in..."
"Huh? What are you talking about, Brother Miohua?"
Rentaro heard Luo Mio's soft murmur and asked him a question.
"... nothing."
Luo Mio turned around and looked towards the driver's seat.
How far are we from our destination?
From the direction of the driver's cab, Hoshikage Hisomi's subordinate reported to Luo Mio, "Report! The destination is just ahead!"
"Since that's the case..."
Upon hearing the answer, Luo Mio also stood up and looked out the window.
"Open the cabin door."
"Yes!"
"Whoosh—!"
As soon as the cabin door opened, a strong gust of wind rushed into the cabin.
Rentaro stood beside Luo Mio, looking down at them in a somewhat speechless manner. They were currently at an altitude of about a thousand meters.
He glanced at Luo Mio, who remained calm and composed even in the face of the raging wind, and couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.
"Then, I'll wait for you downstairs."
After patting Rentaro on the shoulder, Luo Mio jumped down.
Looking at Luo Mio's figure, Rentaro gave a helpless bitter smile, then came to his senses and picked up the landing equipment.
"Not everyone wants to be like you, Brother Miohua, okay..."
"Enju".
Rentaro called out to his partner.
"I see."
The two then jumped off the plane wearing landing gear.
——
"Hmm..."
Rentaro opened his eyes with a slight pain, stood up, and stretched his stiff shoulders.
Falling straight down from such a height, the cold and strong winds it endured would have likely caused frostbite and left anyone else completely broken.
I glanced around.
"Where's Brother Miohua?"
"It seems to be over there." Enju's eyes had turned crimson at some point.
In this dark and dangerous environment, Enju was on high alert.
Following the direction Enju was looking, Rentaro also looked over.
All that could be heard were faint roars of Gastrea over there.
"Let's get there quickly!"
When they got there...
A strong stench of blood filled the air, and what met their eyes were countless Gastrea!
Eyeballs, limbs, organs...
All sorts of corpses appeared before their eyes, and the blood of Gastrea stained the surrounding trees with a horrifying color.
In the very center of that open space stood a figure.
"Brother Miohua?!"
When Rentaro saw the figure, his eyes widened in surprise.
The figure was none other than Luo Mio, who had jumped off the helicopter a few minutes earlier than Rentaro.
In Luo Mio's right hand she held a black raven feather katana, while in her left hand she held Dark Gold Sheath.
Around Luo Mio, there are all kinds of Gastrea.
Their bright red eyes stared at Luo Mio with murderous intent, like the gaze of a predator looking at its prey.
Then one of the Gastrea roared at Luo Mio.
Instantly, the surrounding Gastrea swarmed towards Luo Mio and pounced on her with her gaping maw.
Then--
Luo Mio gently twitched her wrist, which was holding the Crow Feather Katana.
Before Rentaro could react, countless dazzling, pure white blades flashed around Luo Mio.
The crisp sound of a sword ringing out rang in the ears of Rentaro and Enju.
"—!"
The next moment, several slashes appeared on the bodies of the Gastrea that attacked Luo Mio, and then...
"Bang!"
His body instantly turned into countless blood clots that scattered in all directions, leaving only the fleeting blood mist of the other shore flower after his body exploded!
Just as Rentaro was staring blankly at this scene...
"Roar roar roar roar—!"
A deafening roar suddenly echoed through the forest.
"What?!"
Rentaro looked toward the source of the roar.
A giant Gastrea appeared not far behind Luo Mio.
With a body over six meters long, a reptile-like ferocious face, a long neck like a giraffe, a bright red tongue constantly protruding from its mouth, and its face covered with tiny wart-like bumps, it exhales a foul stench like rotting flesh.
Its body is entirely green, and the bones of its arms have been transformed into wings. The wing membranes look like those of ancient pterosaurs. Of course, it also contains genes from other birds and Gastrea. From its appearance, it is very similar to the dragons of ancient times.
Without a doubt, the Gastrea in front of us is stage IV!
"Roar roar roar roar—!"
The Gastrea, could make the earth tremble slightly with every step it took.
"Brother Miohua!"
Just as Rentaro urgently reminded Luo Mio...
In the pitch-black forest, a bright, dazzling white light flashed in Rentaro's eyes, followed by a series of stinging sensations on his skin, as if a sword had sliced through him.
In the blink of an eye, Luo Mio's figure had already arrived behind the Gastrea, and the Crow Feather Katana in her hand was slowly sheathed.
The enormous, dragon-like Gastrea slowly came to a stop.
Then...
"Clang!"
Raven Feather's katana was completely sheathed in its dark gold scabbard with a crisp sound.
"Snap!"
A crisp sound of a slash reached Rentaro's ears.
The Gastrea, which had come to a complete stop, had a straight bloodstain slowly appear in the center of its massive body.
"Boom!"
"——"
Its massive body instantly split in two and then collapsed onto the ground.
On the ground where the Gastrea had just stood, a long slash seemed to have split the earth apart.
The blood within its massive body was also mixed with the blood of other Gastrea, slowly flowing down the slope... Such a horrifying scene, like a river of blood from hell...
Standing at the very center of the corpses, Luo Mio turned her gaze back, her azure eyes looking at Rentaro and the others.
"You guys are way too slow."
"Rentaro, did you hesitate when you jumped out of the plane?"
Looking at the countless mutilated corpses around Luo Mio and the terrifying river of blood at her feet, Rentaro was speechless upon hearing his question, unsure of what to say.
Seeing this, Enju dared not speak, her crimson eyes somehow returning to normal.
Rentaro let out a soft breath, trying to calm his restless heart.
Smelling the slightly pungent smell of blood, Rentaro frowned slightly and walked towards Luo Mio.
Looking at the Gastrea around him, Rentaro's eyes turned to Luo Mio, who stood in the center of the bloodstains but was not stained with a single drop of blood.
"These... were all killed by you Brother Miohua?"
"Ah..."
Upon hearing Rentaro's question, Luo Mio also looked at the blood river and corpses around her.
"When we landed just now, we accidentally landed in their lair. We had no choice but to kill them all to protect ourselves."
"..."
Rentaro was at a loss for words when asked to respond to Luo Mio.
The time they jumped from the plane and the time they arrived were only about ten minutes apart.
In just ten short minutes, all of these Gastrea were killed...
A bead of sweat appeared on Rentaro's forehead.
As if noticing Rentaro's gaze, Luo Mio looked at him.
"Huh? Why are you looking at me like that? Like you've seen a monster." Welcome to [Xi'er's Library]: 7,'4:6!;0,9,;4!0"7!;6!!
"..."
Isn't that right!
Rentaro thought to himself, "I'm just complaining."
"I'm just wondering Brother Miohua, are you even human?"
"..." Luo Mio Ling looked at Rentaro expressionlessly.
What do you think?
