The Modern Age of the Mysterious

v1 Chapter 457: scarlet strokes

The bottom of the shattered ice sheet.

In the ruins of the ancient city deep in Max's consciousness.

In the middle of the dark square, an indescribable asphalt-like monster has completely devoured the remnants of the soldiers, and the gas produced during digestion was discharged from the black oil, and many bubbles with disgusting smells gushed out...

In front of the Dreamcaster, the remnants no longer twitched.

His body is like a mirror, faithfully reflecting his current condition.

And that situation... is really unbearable to look at—

Inside the body of the forgotten servant of the Old God, the Shoggoth, the bones of digested penguins and seals were crushed and shattered like black sticks.

Amongst the digesta, a humanoid thing had been corrupted beyond recognition.

The leather jacket on his body has been dissolved, the obviously burned skin is gone, and the tendon has vainly adhered the remaining muscle to the bone.

Oddly enough, the flaming mask still clings to the almost skeletal face.

"Is this how I die?  …

"In my dream, was digested by Shoggoth?"

What Max cares about is not the pain, he just calmly thinks about the current situation...

The dreamcaster couldn't believe the scene she saw in front of her. This scene made her suspect that it was herself who was having a nightmare—

She saw the completely disfigured "skeleton", the mask on the face was still stubbornly burning, and the skeleton raised its head and stared at herself viciously.

The physical body has been destroyed time and time again, but stubbornly refuses to leave this world.

In this world...is there really such a explorer?

The black mucus of Shoggoth finally eroded the last fascia and poured into Max's chest cavity, greedily starting to digest the heart that was bound by chains and burning with phosphorous fire.

The subterranean survivor in the dream realized that he seemed to have made a mistake.

The phosphorous fire, which seemed to be chirping and screaming, actually started to burn the black slime in turn.

Like a raging blight, the lingering fire in Max's heart began to eat away at the Shoggoth from within.

The skinny skeleton began to twitch and move again.

In Shoggoth's body, as if he had got the answer, Max moved again—

"This is not how I die."

Like an evil spirit determined to climb out from the depths of the world with bare hands, he began to float towards the "surface" of the dream.

Shoggoth started to scream, and Biyouyou's vacuolar eyes accelerated the speed of formation and destruction.

The smoldering flames burned from the inside to the outside, and the dark red residual fire could no longer be concealed and spread to the outer layer...

In the hearts of the remnant soldiers, the "unquenchable obsession" can burn even the "deepest fear".

From the depths of his own ocean of consciousness, from the depths of the "dream cave" designed by the dreamer, Max began to climb and float.

"Have you ever heard that someone is desensitized to nightmares?"

In the fierce room of wriggling chains, the remnant fire skeleton giggled like an immortal curse, and the dreamer looked at her stone urn with a pale face—she thought she had fallen into a nightmare.

Looking down on the Shoggoths, ancient cities, shattered icefields and giants...

"I experience nightmares of this level every day..." The Remnant Fire Skull smiled with contempt on his face.

"What you designed for me is really not worth mentioning."

Only now did the dreamcaster realize that she had met the opponent she was least willing to meet in her life: a distorted soul tempered by countless nightmares!

She hastily put away the stone urn, as well as her previous inexplicable arrogance, trying to break out from this small room, but found—

There are coiled chains everywhere, and there is a heavy metal friction sound of the winch—

She has nowhere to go.

Climbing all the way from the sea of ​​consciousness, the disabled soldier Max touched the zenith of the dream.

The sky seemed to have a transparent cover, blocking his upward path.

The remnant soldier slammed his fists, punch after punch, with such force that the entire dream world began to shake.

boom!

boom!

Accompanied by the sound of a boulder shattering, his fist finally broke through the invisible zenith...

In the real world, a tiny hand burst from his cap.

The soul finally returns.

He moved his body in the real world, waking up from a big dream.

"Ma'am." The remnant soldier's voice was hoarse, with a "generous" smile on his face, "Just now, what a wonderful journey!"

"Please believe that the gift I will give you in return will definitely be generous."

As he said that, the remnant soldier suddenly opened his hands, and his chest and ribs bloomed one by one...

The dreamcaster looked at the opponent in front of him in disbelief, and found that there was a strange hole in his chest.

There seemed to be a smoldering dark fire in the cave, and there were countless creatures hanging upside down, chattering and shoving.

There was a wave of screams, and countless flaming bats spewed out from Max's chest,

The ominous wind blew, and the dreamcaster's mask fell to the ground, reflecting her gradually washed-out figure.

Sean and the guards of the Kingdom of God heard it, and an astonishing scream of bats erupted in the small space surrounded by chains.

The outcome of the two battles had already been decided, and the guard knew that if he did not make a final decision, he would be surrounded and suppressed.

He decided to ignore the offensive of the blade dancers in front of him, risking injury, and directly killed their leader with thunder.

The warhammer in his hand turned into a giant single-edged ax—it was the ax used by the gods to execute heretics in the Middle Ages.

He regretted that in such a duel, he could not use his strongest divine art "God's Punishment".

At this moment, he picked up the ax that he hadn't picked up for many years, and he found that he hadn't forgotten the fame technique that he often used when he was at the Q level.

Using the remaining light armor on his shoulders to push away Olivia Wind Chimes, he flickered for a distance in the air, shouting the words to summon thunder, and he raised the giant ax in his hand.

Sean Dickinson understood the intention of the guards of the Kingdom of God: the end of the road, the opponent has given up maneuvers and strategies, and only wants to kill quickly.

The battle was catalyzed and quickly heated up. This was Sean's crisis and also his opportunity.

Compared with the anxious guards of the Kingdom of God, Sea of ​​Shimmer is obviously much calmer.

In the power of the rolling thunder, Xiao En's spirit held the red pen tightly.

Facing the strongest blow, he can only deal with the strongest blow.

Infused with surging spiritual power, the scarlet pen inspired Shen Yu, the "City of Two Suns", and the scorched yellow sky and sharp spiers emerged behind Sean, never before so clearly.

The two "red suns" he possessed were activated at the same time, and this time what he summoned was not the script, but the "source of fear" in the script.

From the blood on the Mississippi steamship, and the grudge knight from the blood red wedding...

Two huge figures, carrying the world they lived in, floated beside Sean, one on the left and one on the right.

In the lightless halls of steamships people fled,

Inside the bleeding castle, people screamed in despair.

The scarlet light of the red pen in his arms flashed violently through his clothes.

The two scarlet worlds and the real overlap, and in the center of this eerie overlap, Sean's windbreaker flutters, and his expression cannot be seen under the brim of his fedora.

There is only one pair of eyes, which emit the same light as the red pen at this moment.

In front of him, in the middle of the two gods and demons, was a slightly thin figure.

The blood clan swung its sharp claws, and the knight slashed the sharp sword...

In that instant, that thin figure was holding a red pen as bright as the setting sun, and it penetrated the space in front of him.

Scarlet runs through space.

The light of the white thunder that descended slowly with the ax was also snatched by the scarlet.

"The scarlet strokes~lightnovelpub.net~ first aroused the deep fear in the guard's heart in an instant, and then overwhelmed the opponent's slightly pale blow with a powerful artistic conception...

It was like a huge blood-red wave surged up, submerging a small boat.

The light armor collapsed like the spirit of the guard. Under the impact of the wave of fear, the guard flew backwards, completely lost consciousness, and fell to the ground in embarrassment.

The winner takes all, Sean took off the guard's platinum cufflinks.

He saw with his own eyes that the guard ignited the white flames on his body through this cufflink, and even purified Xiao En's black fungus—it may be a C-level inheritance.

The dust settled on the three battlefields, and as Sean predicted, they won a complete victory.

In a messy corridor, Sean, Olivia, Moonlight and Max all looked in one direction—

Not far from here, the "curtain" enveloping the priest and the three Dorins siblings has not yet been lifted.
