Breaking Out of the Cocoon

From the time Eve appeared to kill Fol, it had only been a few minutes.

In Hyde’s eyes, it was not much different from the blink of an eye.

Hiding in the dark, he saw Eve appear, and his entire back felt cold.

The only thought left in his mind was to escape!

He had heard the conversation between Earl Fol and Eve from beginning to end.

Defying the Queen’s order was a capital offense.

Even an Earl could not escape, let alone a small baron like him?

He glanced with some reluctance at the human woman who had fallen into a coma, not yet sobered up.

Hyde gritted his teeth and made up his mind to leave the battlefield and no longer return to the blood race territory.

Although defecting to the Human Federation might have a certain degree of danger, it was better than returning to the blood race territory and being ordered to die.

After mobilizing so many young nobles to participate, could he still escape being forced to take the blame?

As the fresh blood gushing from Earl Fol’s corpse became more and more, Hyde secretly gathered his guards, asking them to find a suitable time to escape from the battlefield and head to the Human Federation together.

Seeing that the fresh blood appearing on Fol’s headless body had not stopped, Eve was waving the Other Shore in her hand towards the headless body.

With a crisp sound, when the Other Shore was withdrawn, Eve’s face turned solemn.

When the Other Shore touched the headless body, it seemed to be pushed away by an invisible force.

Even an ordinary magic-driven defense could be easily broken into several pieces by the sharp Other Shore, but now it couldn’t even leave a single white mark on the body.

Eve thoughtlessly focused her attention on the magic array formed by the fresh blood.

The intricate patterns on the magic array indicated that it was not any of the types that Eve knew.

Forcibly discerning a few similar symbols from it, Eve guessed that this magic array’s function was summoning.

“Alright, actually, you don’t need to guess anymore.”

Eve watched helplessly as the flesh and blood on Fol’s corpse all disappeared.

In its place was a white-boned skeleton.

The fresh blood that had originally gushed out seemed to have been pulled back and gathered on the surface of the skeleton.

When the blood and flesh were completely covered, Fol’s appearance completely disappeared and turned into a pitch-black armor.

He moved his body and found that something was missing.

He, who had no head, turned his left and right arm, and from a place only a few meters away from him, he picked up Fol’s head.

Fol, who had reopened his eyes, had the scarlet light in his pupils covering the entire pupil.

The whole scene looked very eerie.

The sounds that were made, even Eve, who was knowledgeable, had never heard of a creature like this, which could be said to be a completely new species that had never been seen before.

I only saw Fol’s jaw open and close, as if he wanted to say something.

However, no one at the scene could hear clearly.

“What is this?”

Between noticing the commotion caused in the Northern Border Defense City, the head of the division, who was fighting with Tate, was a scene of a one-sided battle.

The Northern Border Defense Army, which was still evenly matched, without exception, seven holes accompanied their struggles and blood flowed out.

In the encirclement of the defenders, Bai Yun’s corpse had disappeared, and there was a blood-sucking girl on the scene.

From the looks of it, it seemed to be the blood race that Bai Yun wanted to deal with before.

Nie Ping’s voice attracted Tate’s attention, and he extended his field of vision into the city.

Seeing the newcomer holding a giant sickle in her hand, she had the face of a beautiful girl.

She had no idea that this unknown princess was not something he could afford to provoke.

“Your Highness!”

For a moment, Nie Ping’s thoughts were in a mess.

From the aura emanating from this blood race princess, she seemed to have only the strength of a Sequence Six.

As long as he took her down, then it would be very easy to make the blood race throw in the towel, and even the crisis in the Northern Border Defense City would be resolved.

“No, what is this! Awooo!”

The other party’s voice diverted Nie Ping’s attention.

Tate’s flesh and blood were uncontrollably squirming and reorganizing.

In extreme fear, he reorganized into an unseen appearance.

At this time, Tate’s body was covered with pitch-black scales, and two sharp blades extended from his arms, completely unrecognizable from the original blood race.

The monster he transformed into was different from the previous one, but somewhat similar in terms of strangeness.

“Awooo!”

The monster formed by the blood race spoke, and Nie Ping’s body froze.

He seemed to understand why the defending army that had formed an encirclement would reveal a pained and struggling expression.

Even Nie Ping, who was facing the monster, heard the endless noise and low whispers that acted on his spirit, as if trying to pollute him.

He was able to stand where he was, to a large extent, thanks to his Sequence Six rank and his extraordinary will.

Eve, who was facing the monster, had no time to pay attention to the gazes from others.

The mental pollution from the light was enough to overwhelm her.

The bright silver bracelet on Eve’s wrist flashed, and Eve’s expression eased a lot.

By borrowing the power of the scythe, Eve temporarily sealed her hearing.

The low whispers that had been drilling into her ears from time to time turned into the sound of a strong wind blowing through the window.

Although the effects of the sound have not been completely eliminated, it has undoubtedly made Eve feel much better.

The monster in front of her only had the level of Sequence Five.

This was good news for Eve.

Strangely, the monster summoned with a Sequence Six Earl as a sacrifice only had a Sequence Five.

This felt like the merchant had cut corners in the summoning process.

With Fol transformed into a monster, the suppression of his bloodline had already failed.

What he could do was to physically destroy it.

Eve was ready to get serious this time.

After entering Sequence Five, she had never used all of her power.

She took a step forward, and the substantial blood qi around her gradually thickened.

Holding the Other Shore, a huge aura gathered behind her into a huge scythe.

The monster transformed from Fol seemed to have sensed the threat, and immediately took a few steps back, its scarlet eyes tensing up.

“Shatter.”

Eve single-handedly waved a scythe light towards Fol’s position.

The giant scythe behind her flashed, following Eve’s movements.

All the aura related to Eve disappeared in an instant.

She could only feel the blow of her swing, the target pointing directly at the monster transformed from Fol.

The monster was terrified and wanted to try to resist with the magic array that had not completely disappeared.

As a result, the magic array formed by blood met the scythe light swung by Eve.

Like snow meeting ice, it melted away, evaporating a large amount of mist.

The scythe light passed through the magic array, leaving a deep wound on Fol’s chest to his left abdomen.

Eve cut him in two with one blow, leaving no room for mercy.

She raised her head to look at her next target, Earl Tate, who was still fighting with Nie Ping in the sky.
