Lord of the Mysteries 2: Circle of Inevitability

Chapter 96 Prey and Hunter (Third update thanks to Wutong)

The flame monster kept throwing red fireballs as it chased him, causing craters to appear on the ground and causing Lumian to be knocked over several times.

A lot of wood in the surrounding ruins was ignited, and red flames were swaying everywhere.

Lumian ignored the flames that were still burning his clothes and endured the indescribable pain. He was knocked away by the shock waves generated by the explosion time and time again. He stood up again and again, arcing left, right and sometimes towards the destination. Sometimes straight lines run wildly without any pattern.

Fortunately, the next location in his plan was not far away. Just when he felt that a mouthful of blood was about to spurt out and his body was about to fall apart, the crumbling building appeared in front of him.

Boom!

Lumian forcibly twisted his body to avoid a ball of fire, and the red thing exploded not far in front of him, setting off a fierce wave mixed with flames.

Lumian fell to the ground, avoiding the most violent wave of damage, and rolled into the house in front of him that had not completely collapsed.

The flame monster stopped, not rushing into the place where a deadly trap might be hidden.

He looked at Lumian rolling forward inside the house, and red fire crows condensed around him.

The fire crows roared and flew out, half of them smashing into the supporting points of the building, and the other half of them throwing at Lumian's back from all directions.

They seemed to be able to lock on to the target without any deviation, and they were constantly adjusting their trajectories based on Lumian's position.

At this moment, the flame monster seemed to be able to see the enemy being blown into charred corpses.

The fire crow colony is not as easy to dodge as the random fireball!

Suddenly, Lumian's figure disappeared from the eyes of the flame monster.

He rolled into the relatively well-preserved basement.

boom!

Lumian eagerly slammed the entrance wooden door shut and used the force of the rebound to pounce to the side.

Swish, swish, the red fire crows hit the door.

Boom!

The heavy wooden door was blown apart, every fragment set on fire.

Boom!

The other half of the fire crows all hit their intended targets, and the crumbling house collapsed completely.

Stones, wood, dust and various debris intertwined and flooded the place, burying the basement tightly.

Lumian had already hid in a corner, relying on the soil piled here and rolling skillfully to suppress the flames on his body.

But even so, he still suffered multiple burns, and his internal organs seemed to have been displaced due to the explosion. If he did not receive timely treatment, he might not survive a day.

The fire monster's attack power and explosive level seem to be stronger than Laien who does not use "Light Storm"!

Lumian originally hoped to get rid of the flame monster through "invisibility", sneak into the basement, dance the mysterious ritual dance, half-activate the black thorn symbol on his chest, scare the opponent away, and wait for the completion of "Fallen Mercury" An exchange of fate, but the flames that had previously attached to his body prevented him from entering the "invisible" state, and he was chased to the point of almost dying.

The only thing Lumian was glad about now was that he had made preparations that he would not be able to escape the flame monster's pursuit and would not be able to pray with peace of mind with the sacrificial dance.

He even thought about collapsing the house and burying the basement to buy time, but he didn't expect the flame monster to help him do it.

Huh... Lumian breathed out and sat down cross-legged.

He took out the bottle of gray amber perfume from Aurore, unscrewed the cap, and put it in front of him.

Outside the completely collapsed house, the flame monster's eyes penetrated the dust in the air, searching for traces of the enemy.

It believed that the treacherous guy could not be buried alive so easily.

With the level of traps he showed just now and his familiarity with this ruins, he must have left a way out for himself!

The flame monster's thinking ability was not strong, so it relied on its "hunter" instinct to get around to the back of the collapsed house.

It searched the place inch by inch and found a hole diagonally downwards in just ten seconds. The entrance to Baona was covered by the collapsed part of the house and was not affected by the subsequent overall collapse. It was difficult to see at a glance and the location was quite hidden.

The flame monster raised his right hand, condensing a ball of blazing white fire the size of a fist in his palm.

It suddenly took a step forward, swung its right arm, and threw the fireball into the passage.

The flames traveled a short distance into the basement and hit the opposite wall.

Boom!

The wave of the explosion did not affect Lumian, who was hiding in another corner. It only overturned the bottle of gray amber perfume placed in front of him, causing the entire basement to shake.

A large amount of liquid flowed out from the open mouth of the bottle, and the sweet and elegant fragrance instantly became rich.

Lumian didn't open his eyes and sat focused on the wall.

He is meditating!

He had already pictured the red sun in his mind, and it lasted for several seconds.

Soon, Lumian heard the terrifying sound that seemed to come from infinite distance and yet was so close to his ears.

On his face, the back of his hands, and his neck, blue blood vessels stood out, quickly becoming red and almost fire-like.

At the same time, silver-black round spots infiltrated one after another on the surface of his skin.

Lumian opened his mouth, but failed to scream. He fell down and curled up.

The "fallen mercury" broke away from his left palm, but he didn't dare to do anything. He didn't dare to actively flick it towards his face and right hand that were not covered with cloth, trying to create a puppet through contact.

It just trembled there, trembling violently.

Outside the basement, next to the entrance dug by Lumian, the monster that was about to condense the fireball froze.

It also trembled uncontrollably.

After a few seconds, it bolted and gave up the hunt.

Lumian fell into darkness with countless flickering firelights, and his mind was filled with extreme pain and evil thoughts.

At this moment, he felt worse than dying and felt that something was growing rapidly in his heart, taking shape little by little.

It seems to be a shadow composed of all negative characters mixed with some kind of will. Once put together into a human form, it will completely replace the original owner.

In the darkness with no end in sight but despair and pain, Lumian suddenly smelled a fragrance: elegant and sweet.

That's the smell of Aurore, the smell that comes from time to time.

Aurore...sister...Lumian gradually regained some thoughts, and seemed to hear the soft and soothing melody in her ears again.

"I want to live!"

"The cycle has not been broken yet!"

All kinds of thoughts returned quickly, and Lumian finally defeated the dark will and the pain-filled darkness deep in his heart, and opened his eyes.

The first thing that caught his eye was the bottle of gray amber perfume poured on the ground.

fall down? Lumian reached out his right hand in distress.

He originally just wanted to imitate Aurore's behavior of using incense to curb signs of loss of control, and rely on the natural scent of perfume to wake him up, but unexpectedly, most of the bottle of liquid was poured out in one go.

The next second, he felt his body trembling, saw the burnt blackness and blood stains on the back of his hand, and saw the silver-black round spots that had not completely disappeared.

Lumian could "smell" a strange and creepy smell on his body without anyone reminding him.

If he meets Valentine now, he doesn't need to show off anything because he will be "purified" by the other party's summons of holy light.

Lumian picked up the half-full bottle of gray amber perfume, capped the bottle, and put it away.

He immediately picked up the "Fallen Mercury" which was still trembling violently, and asked in Hermes: "Has the exchange of fate been completed?" The "Fallen Mercury" immediately moved left and right, indicating that it was not yet.

Lumian breathed a sigh of relief.

He was afraid that when he woke up, his fate would have been exchanged, and he would be in a state of shock for at most one minute.

In that case, the pain and suffering he just suffered would be meaningless if he failed to find the fire monster in time.

Breathing, breathing... Lumian adjusted his very bad state, mustered up his strength, and crawled out of the basement through the hole dug in advance.

Every move he made would pull different wounds, and he couldn't help grinning because of the pain.

After leaving the basement, Lumian searched for the footprints of the flame monster and sighed secretly: "Meditating when you are in a bad state and completely activating the thorn symbol on your chest is simply a suicidal act..." That is, I became I haven't done this again since "Hunter", and I can barely suppress the signs of losing control with the scent of gray amber. However, Fan Fan's body has been slightly alienated several times before, and now he has turned into a monster...

"For a long time after that, unless you want to die, you can't do this anymore..."

He chose to use meditation to fully activate the black thorn symbol on his chest rather than perform a ritual dance to partially activate it. The reason was that the situation was urgent and there was no time to complete the dance.

Relying on meditation, he could scare away the fire monster in at most five or six seconds, and the mysterious ritual dance took thirty or forty seconds, and this was after Lumian had already mastered it.

In Lumian's hunting plan, this is the last plan: when you can't escape the pursuit of the flame monster by other methods, try meditation!

Lumian just didn't expect that he would be seriously injured at the beginning and almost lose control during meditation and become a monster.

Not long after, Lumian found the footprints left by the flame monster and chased after him.

After a few minutes, he saw the tracks were getting fresher and slowed down.

After a while, the "Fallen Mercury" vibrated on its own, telling Lumian that the exchange of fates had been completed.

Lumian no longer hesitated, drew out the iron-black ax with his backhand, and rushed forward along the flame monster's footprints. 1 In less than twenty seconds, he saw the prey, which was charred and covered in flames.

It was prostrate in a corner surrounded by stones, shivering.

Lumian ran over, dropped the "Corrupted Mercury", held the ax with both hands, and smashed it with all his strength.

In the dull voice, the head and body of the flame monster that did not resist separated.

Streams of bright red blood spurted out violently, turning into clusters of red fire on the ground.

With a thud, Lumian could no longer support himself and fell to the ground with the ax in his hand.
