Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1045: It's Not Over Yet

When the Demon Eye in front of the Flame Devil's chest descended, Eric's back flashed with a chill. He subconsciously retreated, and then he realized that this action was undoubtedly showing weakness. Instantly, a burst of anger flashed through his heart. Following his intentions, the blood-colored exotic beast behind Eric lowered its body and pounced towards Alan.

As the beast moved, the Flame Devil behind Alan let out a furious roar. Sargeras, the werewolf man, crossed Alan's path and grabbed Eric's blood-colored beast with one hand. The exotic beast opened its mouth and bit the Flame Devil's arm, causing a row of faint red marks to appear on Allen's right hand. At this moment, the Flame Devil raised his hand and punched the beast's head. Eric shouted at the same time. The confrontation between the projection of the ancestors was originally a battle at another level. The invisible connection between the projection and the owner would transfer the damage to the owner to a certain extent, and the owner would bear the damage.

Alan took a deep breath and Red King lifted it up to strike Eric while the iron was hot. Laura, Green Dragon Knight, and the other warriors had already circled behind the count to complete the encirclement. If Eric wanted to escape today, he would have to pay a heavy price. Alan even wanted him to retreat, so that Eric would be obstructed by Laura and the others when he left the battlefield, and as long as he revealed a flaw, Alan was confident that he would drink his hatred on the spot!

'"I still have a trump card. I didn't plan to use it. But now I have to reveal it. I still hate using women." Eric smiled inappropriately at this time. He raised a finger and said softly.

Then he let out a long howl.

Alan frowned, thinking he was putting on a show. Unexpectedly, there were some disturbances on the other side of the encirclement, and the warriors separated from each other. Behind them, two people who should never have appeared here walked behind Eric.

"Guna!"

"Lucy!" josei

Laura and Alan shouted at the same time.

Guna walked behind Eric with a cold expression. She grabbed Lucy with one hand and put a dagger on her neck with the other. Lucy's face was ugly, her breath weak, and she looked apologetically at Alan.

Ellen forced himself to calm down and said in a deep voice, "Even Guna is your chess piece?"

Guna whispered, "Sorry, master, I'm late."

"Better late than never." Eric smiled and said, "That's right, Guna was one of my arrangements."

"Did you arrange her in Greyhound Town just to sneak into our team? In that case, is that horse thief also your arrangement?" Ellen shook his head and said, "Sir Eric, you really are such a clever man. What I can't understand is, how did you know we were going to pass through Greyhound Town?"

"This isn't difficult." Eric nodded to Farez, who was lying on the other side of the ground. "I wanted to greet you with Gabe that day, but you were harder to deal with than I thought. I chose to leave as soon as possible," he said. After that, I paid attention to your every move. According to the information sent by my spies, you hired this mercenary captain as your guide, so I spent a little more energy to inquire about the life of this Mr. Fares. "

"From the information I have gathered, Mr. Fares is a very caring knight, and he has been to Mosaiore once. I stopped by Greyhound Town on the way, so I thought that Mr. Fares would take you to Greyhound Town to rest. After all, people have some habits, just like this time he will take your people to the Sand of Time, because last time, Mr. Fares stayed in the Sand of Time for three days. "

'"Oh," said Alan, "you seem to be very knowledgeable about my team. I think you can arrange for Guna to join our team even if Fares doesn't take us through town."

Eric nodded his head and said, "Indeed. It's just a bit of effort. Don't forget that I arranged for Guna to be a physician, and no caravan would refuse such a role. This is a blind spot in our minds …"

The Bloody Earl had already said this, so it was easy to explain why Lucy would be kidnapped by Guna. It was simple. Guna was proficient in pharmacology and served by Lucy's side. It was easy enough to drug Lucy, but Eric said, "I'll tell you what. Guna had prepared the medicine for your men in the sand of time. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been easy for those idiots like the Trembling Snake to do it well."

"Alright, Viscount Allen. Previously, you weren't willing to commit suicide for the sake of your two subordinates. What would you choose if it was your beloved woman this time?" Eric smiled and said, "I'm looking forward to such a dramatic turn of events."

Alan said in a low voice, "Let Lucy go, I'll let you two go!"

"Is this your bottom line?" Eric shook his head and said, "No, no, no. You should say let go of my woman and I'll leave my life to you. Is that right? Or is it true that in Sir Alan's heart, the woman he loves is not as important as his own life?"

Lucy gritted her teeth and was about to say something. Suddenly, not far away from the corpse of the lower body of the Empress, the abdominal sac of the arachne suddenly exploded. Insect blood splashed everywhere, and palm-sized young gray-white spiders crawled out of the corpses. More than a hundred young arachnids spread out like a grey tide, and that scene caused one's scalp to explode. This sudden incident caused Guna's mind to subconsciously look at the Empress' corpse. Lucy leaned back and smashed her head on Guna's nose, causing her to scream and involuntarily retreat.

Lucy immediately pounced forward and Guna threw out her dagger unwillingly. Lucy twisted her body with all her might, and the dagger brushed against her shoulder and drew a blood slot.

Eric's eyes went wide and he was about to pounce on Lucy to catch the trump card. Alan let out a heaven-shaking roar as he raised his saber to dodge and instantly collided with Eric. The two of them did not separate. Eric's dagger pierced into Alan's chest, and Red King pierced through the Count's back. Before the blood droplets rolled down the blade, they were evaporated by Red King's high fever.

Eric let out a scream and released his dagger to slap Ellen on the shoulder. He slapped Alan so hard that he coughed up blood and flew away, allowing him to escape from the edge of the Red King blade. Eric made up his mind and sprinted. The blood-colored beast tossed down the Flame Devil and crashed into Eric's encirclement. More than a dozen warriors were immediately knocked flying by the beast, and Eric flew through the passageway opened by the beast.

Laura wanted to chase after her, but Alan stopped her and shouted, "Sargeras!"

Every crack in the Flame Devil's lava armor erupted with flames, and the Demon Eye on his chest stared in Eric's direction. Eric was hundreds of meters away when his body suddenly shook and he staggered to the ground. He quickly got up again, but let out a miserable scream. It was only then that he let out a cry and spat out a mouthful of heavenly flames from his mouth. Eric's skin flushed red and began to fall off. Under the shed skin, the muscles were shrinking, and the blood vessels were glowing red, as if flames were roaring inside.

"What's going on?" Eric's eyes lit up, but in the end, he fell into the darkness. Two flames shot out from his eyes, completely burning his eyes. He began to spit out tiny streams of fire from all over his body. A moment later, a scarlet sky fire suddenly sprayed out from his body, and the pillars of fire soared into the sky. Eric's figure froze and was burned into a charred corpse under the high heat of the sky fire.

At this point, Alan heaved a sigh of relief. When the Flame Devil appeared, he had already used the [Seed of Destruction] on Eric. Now that the seeds had erupted under the catalysis of the Flame Devil, it brought about irreversible destruction. Even the Earl of Strength would not be spared this destructive power, let alone Eric, who had been seriously injured before this.

Seeing Eric turn into a charred corpse, Alan was sure that his side was finally safe. Eric could be considered a schemer. He laid down Guna as a chess piece at the beginning and used the safety of the two of them to lure Alan into the Screaming Forest. Eric's layout could be said to be intertwined. If it wasn't for Alan's luck, Eric would have lost his life here on his trip north.

At this moment, Laura brought Guna over and looked at Ellen, "What should we do?"

Alan looked at the woman and then at Fares. "You sacrificed the entire town of Greyhound to sneak into the caravan," he sighed. "Tell me, do you feel uneasy doing these things?"

Guna looked at him calmly and indifferently.

Alan nodded and pointed at her chest. Guna's entire body trembled violently. A flame sprayed out from her chest, and she lifted her head and died like this.

By the time Lucy was out of medicine, the twin knights had bandaged Alan's wounds. Ellen was seriously injured. Fortunately, he wasn't fatal. He only consumed too much Origin Energy. In addition to the two stabs Eric had stabbed, he needed at least a few days to recover. However, this was a blessing in disguise, and it allowed Alan to see the dangers of his journey north. Just Eric almost capsized his ship in the sewer, and Alan warned himself to be more careful in the future.

'"Luckily you're fine, otherwise I …" Lucy held Alan's face and her eyes turned red.

Ellen patted her face and said, "Isn't it all right? If you feel uncomfortable, take care of me for the next few days. I think I'll be lying in bed for the next few days, eating and drinking until His Highness Lucy is ready to take care of me."

Lucy's eyes were red, but she laughed, "I'm not the only one worried about you. Look at Laura and Milo, they're not the same. Why don't you ask them to serve as well?"

Laura was fine. Milu and the other Fallen Dragon Knights' faces immediately turned red. Alan glanced at them and smiled bitterly, "Forget it. If that's the case, I'm afraid I won't be able to recover from this injury for ten days."

As a result, the faces of the girls turned even redder.

Allen's mouth was relaxed, but his heart was still heavy. Eric is dead, but this is not over!
