Chapter 394 High-Ranking Aberrant Angel, or…?!

When he clearly saw the behemoth before him, Lin Yi felt a chill mixed with the soles of his feet rising up, rushing straight to the top of his head along his already chilled spine.

The air was filled with deathly silence and the dust of despair. Lin Yi's face was covered with beads of moisture, and he couldn't tell if it was the rain hitting his face or sweat.

That huge shadow, like dark clouds obscuring the sun, enveloped him. It was so enormous that it occupied almost all the space on both sides of the stone bridge, like two towering mountains suddenly rising from the calm river surface.

It seemed to be a demon born from endless darkness, with the aura of destroying everything. Its mountainous body seemed to be formed by the mixture of endless darkness and nightcrawlers, constantly rolling and writhing, hiding countless unknown terrors.

Its edges would also extend some things like tentacles or limbs, which waved in the air, tentatively grabbing towards the stone bridge like branches. Each wave brought a whistling wind, which echoed in the storm like the wails of ghosts and wolves.

Lin Yi looked around in horror, his eyes widened by extreme fear.

The outline of the shadow was blurry, as if pieced together from countless twisted shapes, arranged around him like a twisted palace, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.

As soon as it appeared, the whole world seemed to echo with that terrible precept:

[I AvgruNnen av tKe og mrke jaGer forTapte Sjeler fanTome]

"Could this be… an ‘Aberrant Angel’?!"

Boundless shadows enveloped Lin Yi, and the terrifying pressure was suffocating. His body was instinctively trembling, and his breathing gradually became heavy and rough. A low voice began to rumble in his throat, and hot air spurted from his mouth and nose:

“Feh heh heh… Feh heh heh…”

The existence before him was strikingly similar to the Aberrant Angel "Cairn of the Departed" from the Heretical Hymn, which he had encountered twice before!

No, there was still a difference!

Although both were Aberrant Angel sculptures, compared with the two rows of terrifying behemoths in front of him, the "Cairn of the Departed" was like a frog at the bottom of a well looking at the sky!

Not to mention the form, the difference in physical size alone was too great!

"This aura… this is not the ‘Cairn of the Departed’. It seems to be… some kind of higher-ranking ‘Aberrant Angel’?"

Old Mo had once said that among all the angel sculptures, only the Grinning Angel and the Wrathful Angel had clear divisions.

Among them, the Wrathful Angel was a super-castrated version of the "Shadow of Origin", designed by fanatical believers based on the ideas of the first fanatical believers, and was a "substitute" work researched after the failed creation of the "Shadow of Origin".

The Grinning Angel was a quantum state creature transformed from a person with dream-building characteristics who had been infiltrated and influenced by the "Law-Weaver".

Under certain conditions, both would turn into sculptural forms with the appearance of "Western Angels", so they were called angel sculptures.

Apart from that, all others with similar or higher status were uniformly Aberrant Angel sculptures.

Among the Aberrant Angels, the "Cairn of the Departed" belonged to the lowest rank. In contrast, the Aberrant Angel named "Serpent's Nest" directly destroyed Little Japan with its own power, turning Little Japan into a dark zone nest.

He had no doubt that what appeared before him was some kind of high-ranking Aberrant Angel.

“Rumble—”

Lightning flashed across the sky, but only scattered light fell between the two rows of natural chasms, like pieces of broken silver gauze, barely illuminating a part of the stone bridge.

Countless nightcrawlers on the stone bridge were clearly reflected in Lin Yi's eyes, but at this moment they were as docile as squirrels in a cage, without moving.

This Aberrant Angel, whose life form was unknown, became the only existence between heaven and earth at this moment.

Countless paper-like fleshy limbs on its body seemed to have cracked open, and the chanting sound that made people feel fear and trembling came from those cracks.

Its body also seemed to have eyeballs, like deep caves burning with cold flames, flickering with cruel and playful light in the darkness, coldly overlooking Lin Yi, who was as small as an ant on the stone bridge.

Under the gaze of this huge shadow, Lin Yi couldn't help but have a strange illusion. He felt as if he was a poor bug abandoned by fate, his body unable to move as if he had been cast with a petrification spell, and he could only stand there dumbly, letting fear engulf him like a tide.

The sound of his heartbeat gradually amplified under this storm, and a fear that could not be described in words rose in his trembling body, along with… excitement?

“Hmm…?”

Lin Yi was stunned for a moment. For some reason, he found that he seemed to be losing control of his body.

He suddenly realized that his body had already arched up like a cheetah, and he was constantly making a beast-like low roar from his mouth. Red steam was still spewing out from the pores of his entire body, which looked somewhat like a Wrathful Angel…

“Instinct…?”

“What does instinct want to do at this time?”

He didn't know, but some interest and expectation arose for no reason…

Friends who are often driven by instinct know that it usually won't harm them.

And now he was also deterred by the pressure of this Aberrant Angel and unable to make an effective resistance, so he simply handed over the dominance to his instinct, wanting to see what instinct would do.

So, "Lin Yi" became more and more excited, his slightly arched body constantly trembling, but his muscles were tense.

His right hand grasped in the air, and a sky-blue baseball bat condensed in his palm.

The next moment, he stared fixedly at the end of the stone bridge, golden flames burning in his eyes, and sky-blue aura entangled his body. Outside the sky-blue aura, there was also a majestic blood-red aura!

The red and blue aura was like a thick but illusory quilt, tightly wrapping his body, as if it were armor.

“Feh heh heh… Watchtower… Watchtower…” "Lin Yi" murmured in a low voice, as if issuing some kind of call.

Strangely, the object he was calling for seemed to be… the Watchtower.

With his calls, the appearance of the Watchtower became clearer and clearer on the other side of the stone bridge.

"Lin Yi" gave a deep shout, exerted force with his feet, and his whole person shot out like an arrow, rushing towards the direction where the Watchtower was located.

As soon as he moved, the group of nightcrawlers followed suit, and the Aberrant Angel also began to approach the stone bridge little by little.

Some purebred nightcrawlers were forced to lose their foothold, and began to invade the domain of the old kerosene lamp like a mudslide.

As soon as they invaded the domain, those purebred nightcrawlers emitted a dense white mist, like water splashed on stones in a sauna.

They quickly petrified in screams and wails, turning into hideous stones, blocking "Lin Yi's" path forward.

“Feh heh heh…”

"Lin Yi" swung the baseball bat, smashing all the stone statues in front of him, charging forward like a bulldozer.

"I told you so..." he muttered incoherently while swinging the bat and sprinting forward, as if saying something like, "I told you I should have brought the bat."

The countless eyes of the Aberrant Angel all rolled around, and countless small mouths chanted that single, eerie aria.

[I AvgruNnen av tKe og mrke jaGer forTapte Sjeler fanTome……]

["In the abyss of fog and darkness, lost souls seek phantoms"]

"Lin Yi" forged ahead, and Lin Yi noticed that almost all the candles on the candlesticks on both sides of the stone bridge had been extinguished.

This was a dead end.

No one could safely cross the stone bridge at this time—unless they had a light source with the same characteristics!

Unlike any time before, this time the Aberrant Angel was not just simply chanting; its majestic body, as vast as a mountain range, actually began to close in!

At one point, Lin Yi even fantasized that beneath the misty deep sea, there was an unimaginable creature hidden, and the part extending out of the sea was this "Aberrant Angel." This change was like it was "putting its hands together in prayer."

Was this even the Aberrant Angel?

The so-called Aberrant Angel was, in the end, just a kind of "perception" of his own, just like the head teacher -039 initially thought there were "angels" in the school district!

Whether it is or isn't depends on the perception of the person involved.

Lin Yi's heart gradually sank to the bottom, but his instinct was not fear, only excitement.

"Lin Yi" charged wildly, constantly approaching the other end of the stone bridge. Finally, the flesh of the Aberrant Angel invaded his path forward!

[I AvgruNnen av tKe og mrke jaGer forTapTe Sjeler fanTome……]

Endless pressure overwhelmed Lin Yi, and his body was instantly knocked down. Accompanied by a powerful force, he slid a distance along the rough stone slabs of the bridge, his chest a bloody mess.

The old kerosene lamp rolled to the side, and the illuminated area gradually moved away from him.

"Not good!"

Lin Yi's heart jumped, and he gripped the ground with the five fingers of his left hand. The muscles on his arm bulged, and a powerful burst of strength flung his body towards the old kerosene lamp.

Flesh stretched over, like countless sharp blades with sharp thorns, cutting open his skin. Some even took the opportunity to tear off a part of his flesh.

He swung the baseball bat, but the bat was entangled by the flesh and could not exert any force.

The flesh curled up, coiling like a viper. He quickly dismissed the baseball bat and instead condensed a sharp scimitar, cutting them off.

"Roar—"

"Lin Yi" roared and stood up, his body wrapped in more than a dozen severed pieces of flesh. Those pieces of flesh cut open his skin, and their sharp mouthparts gnawed at his flesh. Even after being cut off, they were still biting constantly, looking as if he had been bitten by snakes.

Ignoring the pain of being bitten, "Lin Yi" roared, picked up the old kerosene lamp, and then ran towards the other end of the stone bridge while tearing them off his body.

They bit very deeply. When he tore them off, even his own flesh was torn off. The shocking scene was enough to make anyone who saw it feel physically uncomfortable and nauseous.

His body was tattered, and his chest and back could be described as very exposed, with golden bones faintly visible beneath the flesh.

When the purebred Nightwalkers saw the blood, they were aroused by their desire for gluttony and rushed towards "Lin Yi" one after another.

"Lin Yi's" pressure increased sharply, his speed gradually slowed down, and the blood-colored steam gushing out of his body was also constantly weakened by the influence of the environment and the Nightwalkers.

Seeing more and more pieces of flesh entangling towards him like a swarm of snakes, he dismissed the baseball bat in his hand, then tightly clenched the handle of the old kerosene lamp in his mouth, and then pressed his hand to the secret纹处 on his left hand.

"Heh heh heh..." A cruel smile appeared on the corner of "Lin Yi's" mouth. In this state where instinct controlled his body, he rarely said anything other than the three words "Lookout Tower"—

"Since I'm here..."

"I'll borrow it for a bit..."

His five fingers were like iron hooks, deeply grabbing into the flesh, and then he tore off that piece of meat branded with the secret纹处 with a grimace.

He clenched this piece of meat tightly, and the blood and oil were squeezed out from between his fingers. However, those substances did not turn into ketchup, but into a black, oily, viscous liquid...

It looked extremely similar to the oily污 that seeped out of the little girl's body, flowed through her lace socks, and ran across her small square-toed leather shoes to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, countless auras intertwined frantically, and a super-sized hacksaw slowly condensed in his hand.

This hacksaw was almost the same as the one in the little girl's hand, which made Lin Yi a little dazed.

As soon as this hacksaw appeared, countless black filaments, like spider silk, emerged from the handle, like synapses, slowly crawling upwards along "Lin Yi's" thumb and index finger, like some kind of highly contagious virus.

The feeling of being eroded was exceptionally clear, constantly stimulating Lin Yi's senses. He felt that the hacksaw was clearly just a materialized weapon, but there seemed to be some kind of will inside it. That will gradually stained his flesh with the synapses, icy and biting.

Lin Yi had not yet felt that the control of his body had been奪取, but his intuition told him that this situation was not good. The synapses gave him a very dangerous feeling. They were like data cables that could not find a port. Once it touched the core part, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The sense of danger from the hacksaw actually faintly surpassed the sense of crisis brought to him by the surrounding environment!

A double-edged sword!

The word appeared in Lin Yi's mind.

While he was瞎几把 thinking about the problem, his instinct had already driven his body to move!

He saw him holding the hacksaw in both hands, and then swung it out fiercely towards the front—it turned out that he bit the handle of the old kerosene lamp with his mouth in order to free up the left hand holding the lamp!

The hacksaw was powerful and heavy. It didn't need very sharp teeth to tear apart all the creatures in front of it!

"Lin Yi" laughed wildly and wielded the hacksaw, slaughtering wantonly in the splashing water vapor and fragments of flesh, as crazy as a rain-night killer.

The encirclement formed by the purebred Nightwalkers and the Aberrant Angel was forcibly torn open by "Lin Yi"!
