Volume 3, Chapter 35 – Two Against One, Time to Fight for Our Lives

Howling winds, heaven and earth trembling.

Shawn Ge, having released all his spiritual power, dove down from high above, his fist blazing with vast silver-gray spiritual energy, sweeping everything like a falling meteor.

His eyes burned with intense fighting spirit and cold killing intent, muscles tightening under the powerful spiritual energy impact, every inch of flesh seemingly containing world-destroying power.

Accompanied by an ear-splitting boom, his fist carried an unstoppable momentum, striking directly toward Polarvitan below!

The ground cracked under the pressure of his punch, invisible shockwaves spread in all directions, dust flying everywhere, flames dispersed, space itself seemed to distort and collapse.

However, facing such an earth-shattering strike, Polarvitan stood in place and yawned somewhat tiredly.

“Ah-hoo~”

Then, the Abyssal Lord slowly raised his left arm, purple-black curse power gathering on his arm like a surging tide, emanating a chilling aura that suddenly spread.

The next moment, under Shawn Ge’s anxious gaze, his arm rapidly transformed—pale skin covered by black-purple scales, muscles swelling, bones twisting, fingertips turning into sharp claws, like a monster’s hand from another world. Facing Shawn Ge’s terrifying punch that could destroy everything, he merely raised his hand slightly, effortlessly meeting it.

A thunderous explosion erupted as fist and palm collided, powerful shockwaves spreading frantically, the ground cracking inch by inch, violent air currents sweeping across heaven and earth.

However, Shawn Ge’s fist was firmly caught by Polarvitan’s monstrous hand, without even causing the ground beneath his feet to sink in the slightest.

“Just you? Not quite enough.”

Polarvitan said coldly.

His five fingers exerted slight pressure, and Shawn Ge’s right fist suddenly fractured and shattered.

Intense pain suddenly struck Shawn Ge’s brain, causing his face to contort in agony.

At that moment, another sharp voice filled with cold killing intent echoed near Polarvitan’s ear.

“How about with me added?!”

Before the words ended, a golden silhouette wrapped in raging winds suddenly tore open a gap in the terrifying energy field around them, instantly flashing behind Polarvitan.

The next moment, Alice’s curved blade, shrouded in spiritual power and emanating destructive energy, directly struck Polarvitan’s waist.

“BOOM!!”

Amidst the tremendous sound, the power formed by the fusion of jade-colored spiritual energy and dark purple curse power instantly erupted, crushing everything around with overwhelming force.

Because of Alice’s successful strike, Polarvitan’s attention temporarily shifted to the beautiful blonde woman behind him.

Seizing this opportunity, Shawn Ge endured the pain, forcibly broke his right hand, freed himself from Polarvitan’s grasp, and immediately retreated hundreds of meters away.

“Huff, huff, huff…”

Kneeling on the ground gasping for breath, Shawn Ge stared at the turbulent energy ahead with a grave expression.

Silver-gray spiritual energy rapidly gathered at his wound, and soon Shawn Ge’s severed hand regenerated.

Meanwhile, a golden silhouette also detached from the energy conflict and retreated back to Shawn Ge’s side.

It was Alice, who had just launched the attack.

Upon seeing Alice, Shawn Ge immediately cast an expectant gaze at this First Celestial Augur Knight.

“How was it, Lady Alice? Did you succeed?”

Obviously, Shawn Ge’s earlier high-profile attack was meant to attract the Abyssal Lord’s attention, giving Lady Alice a chance to defeat the Abyssal Lord with one strike.

Unfortunately, faced with this question, Alice could only shake her head bitterly and helplessly.

She glanced at her curved blade…

Now that weapon—’Wind Dance Moon Blade’—which had accompanied her through years of battles and could cut through iron like mud… had developed numerous cracks.

“No, that monster is harder than I imagined.”

Raising her head to stare ahead, as the energy fluctuations dissipated, the blue-haired man appeared again before the two Celestial Augur Knights.

Although his clothes were tattered again, he remained completely unharmed overall.

Looking at the two humans in fighting stance not far away, Polarvitan gave a fair assessment.

“Good coordination. Pity the power was a bit lacking.”

As he spoke, Polarvitan dispersed the curse power gathered at his waist. As the curse power dissipated, the purple-black scales at that position gradually broke down. That location was precisely where Alice’s blade had struck earlier.

“So that’s what blocked my attack?”

Eyes narrowing slightly after taking in this scene, Alice whispered softly.

“What do we do now, Lady Alice?”

Shawn Ge asked anxiously.

At this moment, the heart of this Second Seat of the Covenant was already shrouded in dense fear and unease.

Although as a Celestial Augur Knight, he had long prepared to confront the Malevolences and sacrifice for it, when truly facing a Malevolence, Shawn Ge still instinctively felt intense fear.

Even though what he faced now was merely a human controlled by the Abyssal Lord’s consciousness…

Indeed, Shawn Ge had directly confronted Gaia Lobir before.

The current Abyssal Lord’s oppressive aura was far less than that of the Terran Malevolence that day. But the malice contained in the eyes of this man before him gave Shawn Ge a sense of desperate suffocation, as if being swallowed by an abyss.

That bottomless malevolence and hostility far surpassed any Vassal he had ever seen… even Gaia Lobir herself couldn’t match it.

At this moment, Shawn Ge suddenly understood… why those historians would praise Gaia Lobir as the most ‘merciful’ Malevolence.

Feeling extremely uneasy, Shawn Ge couldn’t help but cast a pleading gaze toward Alice beside him.

To this, Alice could only sigh quite helplessly.

“What else can we do?”

After this rhetorical question, Alice gripped her blade handle, rose again, and the jade-colored spiritual power that had just been dispersed concentrated around her again, causing her aura to rise rapidly.

“You just need to know that we must stop this monster now. We absolutely cannot let that monster use the infection…”

Otherwise, this Clavino…

Hearing this, after taking a deep breath, Shawn Ge also gripped his fists again and assumed a fighting stance.

“Yes, Lady Alice.”

No matter what, for the sake of the millions of innocent citizens in the capital! He must stop the Abyssal Lord here.

For humans, perhaps the most terrifying aspect of the Malevolences isn’t their frightening destructive power, but their despair-inducing infection ability.

Compared to Vassal-tier Corrupted Beasts, the three great Malevolences… can create Corrupted Beasts at will through their own consciousness, as long as there are relatively intact corpses of other creatures nearby.

If the Abyssal Lord Polarvitan were to rampage in the capital and turn all the residents into Corrupted Beasts, then the Westivian Covenant would be finished.

His wife and son would also be done for.

Thinking of this, Shawn Ge suppressed the fear in his heart and revealed a firm, fearless gaze. As Shawn Ge released his fighting spirit again, the first batch of drone support units also arrived at the battlefield, filling the sky above, with all their weapons aimed at Polarvitan.

“We must stop this monster!”

However, just as Alice and Shawn Ge were about to act under the cover of the drone units, the two top experts simultaneously frowned deeply.

Because at this moment, Polarvitan opposite them had somehow already revealed a chilling smile full of mockery.

“Infection? …I don’t quite like this term. My subordinates generally prefer to call this process of creating companions ‘Blood Birth.’ And you’ve misunderstood one thing. Blood Birth is not something you can stop.”

Even if everything is reduced to nothingness by raging fire?

What use would that be?

“Let me tell you something. The object of assimilation in the Blood Birth ritual… has never been the body, but the soul.”

“What, what did you say?”

Alice’s brows suddenly contracted, and an uneasy premonition rapidly spread in her mind.

Unfortunately, Polarvitan had no intention of explaining further.

As the Abyssal Lord contemptuously curled his lips, purple-black curse power surged around him like a vortex, distorting the surrounding space.

In an instant, a suffocating cold aura permeated between heaven and earth.

The next moment, those collapsed ruins, scattered charred and broken corpses, even the black ashes of some powerful individuals after being incinerated, were all enveloped by this strange power. The curse power flowed like a living entity, seeping into these remnants, tinting them with an ominous purple-black glow.

The sudden change made one’s scalp tingle.

The corpse remains began to convulse violently, bones making strange “cracking” sounds, the scorched bodies suddenly splitting open, purple-black tentacles growing wildly from the charcoal, accompanied by nauseating squirming sounds. One after another, terrifying and enormous fish-shaped monsters tore through the corpses, emerging from within!

Their scales were wrapped in purple flames, eye sockets hollow, ominous fangs dripping with corrosive mucus, their entire bodies emitting a nauseating stench under the ominous glow.

One, two, ten…

In just a few breaths, hundreds and thousands of ferocious fish monsters hatched from the corpses, surging like a tide among the ruins, colliding with each other, twisting their deformed bodies, emitting piercing growls. Their numbers exploded, instantly forming a vast purple wave, with vicious tentacles dancing and huge fish mouths opening and closing, devouring all spiritual energy in heaven and earth.

“Hungry? Then go.”

Polarvitan sneered, calmly waving his hand.

In an instant, this newly born group of bloodthirsty Corrupted Beasts, carrying a world-destroying tide, surged toward Alice and Shawn Ge! In the sky, those drone groups that were about to launch attacks hadn’t even released their firepower before being engulfed by the purple wave…

Curse power contaminated the aircraft fuselages, instantly corroding them into black debris that fell to the ground.

Alice widened her eyes, looking at the terrifying scene before her like an abyss swallowing everything, her heartbeat suddenly accelerating. Meanwhile, Shawn Ge tightly clenched his fists, his gaze grim, gritting his teeth as he faced this monster flood sweeping across heaven and earth…

“Lady Alice, this?”

“Hehe… what else can we do? Let’s give it our all…”
