Chapter 71: The Hand of Vengeance
Chapter 71: The Hand of Vengeance
The remains on the island used to be ruins, but now they are almost reduced to dust, which shows how fierce the battle was.
Birrell set up the current formation, causing a wizard who was good at controlling his emotions to lose control of his emotions.
"Birrell, I will let you know what it feels like to have your soul burned in flames for a hundred years."
At this point in the battle, Toins had long lost his previous composure, staring at his favorite disciple with only deep hatred.
Originally, Toins had prepared potions, magic items, and scrolls, and was fully prepared for the battle. Even if the opponent had the support of a rune array, he would be able to find the opponent's flaws and kill him.
As time went by, Toins discovered that the opponent was simply cheating. No matter what kind of serious injuries he suffered, including frost, lightning, fire, poison, etc., he could always recover easily with the help of the rune array.
Apart from making the other party suffer a little, he did not achieve anything else.
He thought about evacuating tactically first, but Birler had taken control of the island formation, the castle defenses were also affected, and he summoned a large number of cloud servants. Even if he escaped a long distance, Birler could still control the power of the curse to target him, as if he had anchored a tracking mark.
This is what puzzled Toins, just like how someone could break into the castle without making any noise.
Birrell was very cunning. Once he dared to move away, he would use a large amount of curse energy to fall on him, and every time it fell, it would hit him accurately, forcing him to stay and fight with Birrell.
He was a real wizard, but he was teased by an apprentice. He threw all his composure out of the window.
Toins understood that he had to kill Biller today, otherwise there would be no peace, and he would not be able to face his own identity again.
"I'm different. I just want you to die in despair and terror."
Biller also looked at his former mentor with hatred. Even though he felt pain deep in his bones, it could not alleviate the hatred in his heart.
Today, in this ruin, only one person is destined to survive.
At this moment, the two had the same belief.
The two were not in a hurry to fight each other. Toins needed to suppress the surging power of the curse, and Biller needed to adapt his body to the new power.
'There are bugs!'
Birrell suddenly realized something. He looked into the distance and seemed to see a ship rushing towards the fog. There were three people standing on the bow, including a green-haired girl.
Someone actually wants to escape from under my control?
Birler was furious and was ready to order the cloud servants to go hunting.
At this moment, many images unconsciously popped up in his mind. The boy came to the island with great expectations, and was so happy that he surpassed everyone else in the test and got the fifth-class talent. The girl looked at him with dissatisfaction and occasional admiration and dependence. The boy said he would take the girl away from the island.
Never mind, just a few little bugs, no need to waste your energy.
In the end, Billel did not let the cloud servants pursue, nor did he cut off the weak force that was trying to pry open the formation.
"thunderbolt!"
When Birrell was distracted for a moment, a bolt of lightning struck him.
There is no way to hide from its huge body.
Amid screams, Birrell was enveloped by thick smoke, and his charred skin quickly recovered.
This time, Toins decided to engage in the most head-on fight. He took the opportunity to rush towards Biller's huge body. After getting close, he did not stop, but continued to rush upwards on the tilted snake body.
He exerted all his strength and cut off the snake's head with his sword.
Behind him, the only remaining explosive agent fell, a raging fire burned, and the lava stuck to the snake's tail.
Birrell suffered a great loss, as his old wounds had not yet healed and he had to endure new pain. The pain from the burning flames was so severe that he lowered his head and blew a cloud of frost downwards, trying to put out the fire on the snake's tail. The result was as he expected.
This was exactly what Toins wanted. He held a long sword engraved with patterns and surrounded by shining lightning. He took the opportunity when Biller lowered his head and slashed at him with the sword.
At the critical moment, Billel moved his sword to block, but only blocked two or three tenths of the edge. Then another arm blocked it one after another. Finally, the long sword cut off both arms and cut onto the snake scales on the shoulder. The sword edge cut through the scales and flesh.
"Hahaha, I got you."
Billel seemed to be waiting for this opportunity. He had six arms, and after two of them were broken, he still had four. Three of them grabbed Toins' wrists, and one pulled the wizard robe in front of Toins.
"Are you used to using your current hand? Do you still remember that you had a more perfect hand, but you cut it off cruelly and abandoned it on the boundless ocean? Now I come back to you with the resentment of being abandoned."
As Biller spoke, the arm pulled in front of Toins revealed its true appearance, and the familiar blue pattern appeared, allowing Toins to recognize at a glance that it was his own arm, but with a different kind of vitality, like a living creature.
"Could it be--" Toins was horrified. He remembered that in order to break the curse of the demon, his fingers were infected with an unknown power, but unfortunately he was infected with another similar curse. The two cursed powers began to merge strangely.
There was a mutation in his left arm, so he had no choice but to replace it.
Toins finally understood who had broken into his castle twice and who made the other party's attacks always fall on him. It was obviously himself.
It turns out I lost to myself!
"Go ahead. I said I would give you a chance to take revenge with your own hands."
Birrell didn't give him a chance to think, he stretched out his arm and stabbed it into Toines' chest.
There was no blood or flesh splattered, it just merged into Toins' body and became one with him, while the other side was connected to Biller.
"Then let's go to hell together."
Toins felt his vitality decreasing drastically and suddenly woke up. The situation was already beyond recovery.
How could he just watch himself being sucked dry? He decided not to suppress the power of the demon curse in his body anymore. The new and old curse powers were accepted by his body, and his flesh and blood reached the extreme activity at this moment.
At the last moment, flesh and blood burst, and vast energy rushed in all directions, submerging Biller's huge body and a large area nearby, including the small green-winged snake and many cloud servants fighting nearby.
……
Outside the island, the black ship penetrated the heavy fog and appeared under the sunlight. The light shone on the three people on the bow, making them feel the long-lost warmth.
“The sunshine is so beautiful!”
Penny spoke out the thoughts of the three people.
She thought of something and quickly ran to the stern, looking at the cloud and mist left behind, just watching silently.
"What's wrong with her?" As a woman herself, Jiushi felt that she was missing someone.
"Who knows." Ivan was too lazy to think about Penny. He was more worried about whether Toynes would chase him to Flying Fish Harbor in the future. He hoped that Billel could kill the old guy.
As the ship continued to move forward, the clouds disappeared into the sea horizon, and Pernie calmed herself down and returned to the bow.
Ivan asked worriedly, "Are you sure the Iron-Edged Giant Turtle knows the way back to Flying Fish Harbor?"
Penny squinted at him: "So you know him?"
"Just listen to it."
Of course he didn't know, so he could only rely on the iron-edged giant turtle to find the way. As for whether it was reliable or not, only the giant turtle itself knew.
