Chapter 38: The Death of Kaczynski (Two in One)
Lu Mingfei saw the monster's claws slashing across the body of a soldier in front of him like lightning. The claws were so sharp that they easily cut the soldier in two.
Intestines and blood were instantly sprayed all over the ground, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of blood. The soldier's eyes were still wide open at the last moment, and his face was full of fear and unwillingness.
The monster moved through the crowd as if dancing a gorgeous waltz. Every time it waved its arms, the blood that spurted out was like flowers cheering for it.
Its movements were extremely flexible, and every jump and turn was full of deadly grace. Its scales shone with a metallic luster in the sun, and every time it turned, you could hear the sound of the air being cut.
Before long, the ground was covered with broken limbs, and the blood and broken limbs formed a hellish scene in the woods.
Blood beads hung on the leaves, and the sunlight shone through the branches, interweaving the light and blood, like a weird painting. The smell of decay gradually spread, making people sick.
Lu Mingfei and the others all looked at this scene in horror, their eyes wide open and their legs feeling as heavy as if they were filled with lead.
They desperately tried to flee backwards but could not move their legs, and could only watch the soldiers in front of them being dismembered into pieces until death approached. They could hear each other's rapid breathing, and the sound of their hearts beating violently seemed to burst out of their chests.
More than two hundred people, almost two companies of soldiers, turned into corpses on the ground in an instant, and the broken limbs and blood covered the entire forest.
The screams gradually faded away, leaving only the bloody silence. Every fallen soldier was a living being, and their faces appeared one by one in Lu Mingfei's mind.
The monster slowly walked towards Lu Mingfei and the others, stepping on the broken limbs and blood on the ground, as if it was leisurely enjoying dessert after a meal. Every time it took a step forward, the ground would make a creepy crisp sound. Its eyes were cold and ruthless, as if it was enjoying the thrill of hunting.
Every step of the monster seemed to bring endless pressure, and the terrifying pressure almost made Lu Mingfei breathless. His hand holding the gun trembled slightly, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead. The direction of the muzzle deviated from the target several times, and he had to keep adjusting his breathing.
"You guys go quickly, I'll stop him." Kaczynski's voice was low but firm, reaching the ears of everyone including Lu Mingfei.
"Kaczynski, what are you talking about! Let's go together!" Hearing Kaczynski's words, Lu Mingfei regained his courage, raised the gun in his hand and aimed at the monster.
"Shut up, if no one covers us, we'll all die, follow the order!" Kaczynski shouted, his eyes fixed on the slowly approaching monster. His face was filled with determination, without any fear.
"Hans, if you have a chance, please send this photo back for me. There is an address on the back of the photo." Kaczynski took out the treasured family photo from his pocket and put it into Lu Mingfei's hand. The family in the photo was smiling so happily, and that was the only thing he cared about.
"Kaczynski..." Lu Mingfei stared at Kaczynski blankly. He could feel the wind gathering towards Kaczynski, and the spirits transformed by the wind seemed to have a physical body. Kaczynski's back looked particularly tall in the wind.
"Go!" Kaczynski roared, his golden eyes glowing brightly. Paul dragged Lu Mingfei, who was still standing there in a daze, and ran back. The air behind him seemed to freeze, full of oppression.
The monster saw that Lu Mingfei and his men wanted to escape, so it squatted slightly, preparing to pounce on them like it had just done when it killed the machine gunner. But this time it failed to do so.
A wind blade struck a crack in one of its scales, and a small amount of blood flowed out of the crack. The monster's face showed a trace of pain, but more of anger.
"Hey, if you want to go over, you have to ask me for permission!" Kaczynski's face was grim, veins on his forehead were bulging, and he was sweating. He was obviously under great pressure. His body was shaking violently, but he still stood there firmly.
The spirits made of wind around him all became solid, semi-transparent, with sharp wings. Bat-like spirits flew around him like wind blades. Each spirit exuded cold killing intent.
Word Spirit: Bloodsucking Scythe
The monster touched the tiny crack on its chest, felt humiliated, and pounced on Kaczynski angrily, its roar deafening, as if it wanted to tear everything apart.
Kaczynski commanded the sickle-tailed beasts to pounce on the monster. The sickle-tailed beasts' wings left many small wounds on the monster, but these wounds were all too shallow and did not bleed much. The sound made by the sickle-tailed beasts was like a blade cutting through the air.
The wings of the sickle weasel were stained with the monster's blood, and its transparent body began to turn black and red, like a vampire bat. The monster waved its hand and grabbed a sickle weasel, crushing it directly. The crushed sickle weasel turned into a gust of wind and flew away, but under Kaczynski's control, it regrouped.
The monster was completely furious. It completely ignored the damage done to the sickle weasel beside it and rushed directly towards Kaczynski, piercing his body with its sharp claws. The moment the claws penetrated, Kaczynski's face showed a painful expression.
Blood flowed from the corner of Kaczynski's mouth, and the golden pupils in his eyes began to dim. The sickle-weasels flying around him turned into wind and dissipated.
But he still used up his last bit of strength to firmly grasp the monster's sharp claws that pierced his body and prevented it from pulling them out. He wanted to use his life to buy time for Lu Mingfei and the others to escape.
The monster tried several times to pull out its claws but failed. It began to make a strange chanting sound, and the temperature around it began to rise. Scorching flames gushed out from the claws that pierced Kaczynski and directly engulfed him.

Lu Mingfei, who was running in front, heard the strange chanting behind him and turned his head to look, but the moment he turned his head, he saw Kaczynski engulfed in flames. The flames were like the devil's palm, completely enveloping Kaczynski.
Kaczynski didn't even scream. Lu Mingfei could only see a figure turned into ashes in the blazing flames. The ashes were blown away by the wind, and in the end nothing was left. At that moment, Lu Mingfei's heart seemed to be torn apart.
Lu Mingfei stopped running and stared at all this. Kaczynski was dead. The Kaczynski who had been taking care of him, protecting him, and teaching him how to survive on the battlefield like a father since the first day he went to the battlefield was dead.
Lu Mingfei looked at this scene in disbelief. Kaczynski, a powerful mixed-blood who had fought on the battlefield and survived every battle, died so easily. He didn't want to believe that all this was true, and tears blurred his vision.
"Hans, keep running! Do you want Kaczynski to die in vain?" Paul saw Lu Mingfei stop and shouted anxiously.
"Mr. Corporal, run! That monster is coming again!" Hill also shouted. His voice was full of fear and despair. "You guys go, I'll cover you." Lu Mingfei handed Paul the photo that Kaczynski had just given him. His hands were shaking, but his eyes were firm.
Lu Mingfei looked at the monster approaching and knew that someone was needed to cover the retreat. And this time he needed to buy more time than Kaczynski so that others could escape. He was the only one who had the ability to do so. Moreover, Lu Mingfei did not want to escape again. The only thing he wanted to do now was to kill the monster in front of him and avenge Kaczynski.
"Hans..." This time it was Paul's turn to be stunned. Paul couldn't understand Lu Mingfei's decision, but he knew that there was no time to hesitate.
"Corporal, I'm with you!" Hill was holding a gun next to him. Although he was shaking with fear, he still mustered up the courage to stay and fight alongside Lu Mingfei. His eyes were shining with determination.
"Paul, you know what to do." Lu Mingfei said calmly. He had already made up his mind and was unwavering.
"Go!!!" Paul gritted his teeth and yelled at the others, then pulled Hill and continued to run forward. Tears flowed down his cheeks, but he did not look back.
Lu Mingfei began to walk slowly towards the monster. With every step, the bones in his body made a crisp sound, as if they were constantly combining together. The golden pupils in his eyes lit up, as if they contained flames, wanting to devour everything around them.
Keel mode activated
Anger, extreme anger was hidden in Lu Mingfei's heart, like a wild beast about to break free from a cage. Every step he took was full of determination and resolve.
"You like playing with fire, right? I do, too."
Word Spirit·Mirror Pupil is activated, replicating Word Spirit·Lord Flame
A strange chanting sound came out of Lu Mingfei's mouth. The monster heard Lu Mingfei's chanting sound, stopped and chanted the same sound as Lu Mingfei. A trace of disdain flashed in its eyes, but more of it was vigilance.
"Boom!!!" Explosion, a violent explosion sounded in the woods of Kore, as if to overturn the entire forest. Flames shot up into the sky, heat waves rushed in, and everything around was burned to ashes in an instant.
The fire element in the Kaurer Woods was completely ignited in an instant, and the power of the explosion was no less than the artillery bombardment launched by the Prussian army in the early morning. The entire forest seemed to be boiling at this moment.
Lu Mingfei was thrown away by the shock wave from the explosion and crashed into several trees before he came to a stop. His body fell heavily to the ground with a dull thud.
He looked very miserable, with burn marks all over his body, even his hair was completely burned, and countless bones in his body were broken. His clothes were also burned to tatters, barely covering his body.
Of course, the monster on the other side was not much better. Its scales were covered with spider-web-like cracks, and oil-like blood was constantly flowing out of its wounds. Its originally bright golden eyes also dimmed a lot. Its breathing became rapid, and it was obviously seriously injured.
"Lu Mingfei, you won't die, you won't die." Lu Mingfei forced himself to stand up from the ground, still saying that he would not die. There was an almost crazy determination in his voice.
Strangely, as Lu Mingfei stood up, the wounds on his body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the broken bones in his body reconnected. It was as if his body had the ability to heal itself.
But Lu Mingfei paid no attention to what was happening to him. He stared at the monster standing opposite him, with only one thought in his mind: to kill the monster. The flame of hatred flashed in his eyes.
Lu Mingfei rushed towards the monster, and the monster rushed towards Lu Mingfei without giving up. The two figures approached quickly, and the air was filled with tension.
The two figures collided with each other, without any moves or rules, only the most instinctive fight from their genes. The confrontation of flesh and blood and strength reached its climax at this moment.
The monster's claws cut several holes on Lu Mingfei's body, but Lu Mingfei didn't care at all. The monster's claws only scratched his skin, and all were blocked by his bones gathered together. Although his skin was cut, the bones inside were as hard as a rock.
Lu Mingfei punched the monster's cracked parts one after another, completely breaking the monster's scales. The bones gathered together not only gave him a very strong defense, but also greatly enhanced his strength. Each punch was powerful enough to tear the air apart.
They fought with claws and fists at first, and even bit each other's wounds with their teeth at the end. Blood and flesh flew everywhere, and the roars of pain echoed in the woods.
Lu Mingfei completely smashed the scales on the monster's chest, and then grabbed the monster's violently beating heart and crushed it, but the monster did not die and was still struggling violently. Its vitality was incredibly tenacious.
At this time, the fire elements in the deep forest had gathered again. Lu Mingfei once again uttered a high-pitched chant. The hand that was still inserted into the monster's body emitted a fierce flame that completely ignited the monster from the inside out. The flames spread along his arm, surrounding the monster in a blazing flame.
Lu Mingfei killed the monster the same way it had killed Kaczynski. The monster did not die immediately in the flames, but was still struggling in pain. However, Lu Mingfei held it tightly, and even when his hands began to burn, he did not relax for a moment until the monster turned into a ball of charcoal. Its roar gradually weakened, and finally turned into a dead silence.
After the monster turned into a ball of charcoal, Lu Mingfei finally let go of his hand. He collapsed on the ground, all the strength in his body was completely exhausted, and the bones that had originally gathered together began to return to their original positions. His body gradually returned to its original state, but it was full of scars and fatigue.
Lu Mingfei lay on the ground looking at the sky, Kaczynski's face echoing in his mind, the physical pain and exhaustion after the battle began to erode his spirit, his consciousness began to dissipate, and his vision began to blur.
Just before he fell into complete coma, he seemed to see Paul and the others coming back.
"Mr. Corporal, are you okay?"
"Take him back quickly!"
