The earth and stone structure of the floor collapsed instantly, breaking into countless large and small pieces that fell freely into the depths of the ground, revealing a huge bottomless hole.
But the old man did not fall down. Instead, he was held up in the air by an invisible force, and a large area of crimson fluorescent runes suddenly lit up around his body.
Wrapped and surrounded by countless dazzling and bright crimson runes, his body descended little by little, sinking into the deep and thick darkness of the cave.
"Boom!"
"boom!"
"call--"
“Swish! Swish! Swish!——”
“Pah--”
"..."
As the old man's body was completely swallowed by the darkness, a series of deafening explosions, breaking wind sounds, collisions, and shattering sounds rang out one after another.
Flames of various colors burst out in the darkness and then quickly go out, illuminating in a brief moment the bodies and outlines that were either strange, strong, or illusory.
An extremely fierce battle seemed to have broken out in the dark cave.
The violent noise lasted for nearly ten seconds. Suddenly, a vast and evil crimson light gushed out like a tide, filling the entire underground space in an instant.
Then, it suddenly disappeared.
The cave, which had returned to pure darkness, fell into complete silence.
"It was a fierce fight."
A slender and petite figure suddenly appeared at the edge of the cave, with her hands behind her back, looking down at the pitch-black underground.
It was the seventh season. She looked very relaxed at the moment, humming a little tune from the Earth silently with interest, as if she was just enjoying the scenery.
After a few seconds, a figure wrapped in countless crimson runes rushed vertically upwards from the darkness of the cave at an extremely fast speed.
Old man in suit!
After that brief but extremely fierce battle underground, his clothes were visibly torn and dirty, and his face was slightly pale.
Obviously, both his body and spirit had been greatly depleted.
But his expression revealed uncontrollable ecstasy and joy, and his facial features were distorted as a result.
It’s like a pirate who, after going through untold hardships, finally found the legendary treasure in the depths of the stormy sea!
He didn't know when a fist-sized object appeared in his right hand, which he was holding tightly.
It was an object with a stone texture, a rough surface, an irregular shape, and was black all over, like a lump of coal.
And on its surface, in the uneven bumps and cracks, a faint crimson aura filled the air, flowing slowly and undulating, as if it were breathing rhythmically with life.
When seeing the strange black stone, Qi Ji's eyes suddenly focused, his previous leisure and indifference faded a little, and his eyes became a little serious.
Chapter 222: Reed Mormon's Mirror
The old man in the suit rose up rapidly and raised his free left hand slightly.
"Boom!!!"
There was a loud bang like dynamite exploding, and a big hole was blasted in the ceiling above him by an invisible force.
The momentum of that force did not diminish at all, and after shattering the reinforced concrete that was several dozen centimeters thick, it continued to bombard upwards with crackling sounds of air explosions.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
It pierced through five layers of ceilings in a row, creating a passage from the first floor directly to the sky, then it rushed into the diffused sky at dusk, and it was unknown how far it was before it completely dissipated.
Surrounded by countless crimson runes, the old man in the suit rushed into the sky like a cannonball, and was about to leave the Executioner Team headquarters building that had become a mess.
However, just as he was crossing the second floor, a soft and warm breeze blew gently.
"Bam! Boom! Bam!..."
The floor, ceiling, and walls around him exploded at the same time!
Countless emerald green vines suddenly extended from the rapidly expanding cracks, heading straight for the old man in a suit flying in the air!
“…Victor?”
Looking at the vines rushing towards him like a flood, the old man frowned slightly, but did not panic.
"How come this old dog reacts so quickly?"
The crimson runes around him flowed at a rapid speed, causing his body to dodge at an extremely fast speed, avoiding most of the attacking vines.
But there were still a few that hit him hard, causing the scarlet runes that were guarding him to flash violently, and many of them were directly shattered and annihilated.
"It seems that I still have to use that..."
The old man in the suit turned a little paler, but his expression still didn't look panicked. He just let out a long sigh.
He continued to move his body at high speed in the air, and after paying the price of several layers of crimson runes shattering and dissipating, he successfully broke away from the blockade formed by countless vines without being wrapped and entangled by them.
Those vines failed to destroy the enemy, but they stopped chasing them. Instead, they collided, entangled, and merged with each other.
In a blink of an eye, the outline of an old man wearing a red robe with white patterns appeared in the air.
Victor the Punisher.
Seeing that the great wizard who had reached the level of "Light Smelting Master" was about to come here in person, the old man in a suit who was at the top of the mage level suddenly smiled coldly.
Before the vines had completely condensed Victor's body, his empty left hand suddenly flipped.
An ordinary portable makeup mirror suddenly and awkwardly appeared in his palm.
This mirror is about the size of a palm, with an oval body and a handle.
There aren't many decorative patterns on it, and it's very ordinary overall. You can easily find something similar even in a grocery store.
As soon as the mirror appeared, the old man in the suit pinched its frame with his five fingers and flipped the mirror so that it reflected Victor's figure which had just completed condensation.
Then, in a low, powerful voice, he pronounced a mysterious word in an unknown language:
"Moonlit night!"
"Om-"
At this moment, an extremely evil, weird, twisted, yet somewhat harmonious and balanced contradictory wave spread out from the ordinary mirror.
The originally smooth and transparent mirror surface was instantly stained with a dirty dark color, completely covering up Victor's figure in the mirror.
"Well!"
Victor, who had just arrived here, suddenly froze, and then his ordinary but soft facial features were distorted in an extremely exaggerated way.
It seemed that at this moment, both his mind and body were suffering from great pain!
The deep red robe draped over him suddenly fluttered in the air without any regularity, and faint sticky sounds were emitted.
seem……
Underneath it, some strange, slippery and sticky living creature was wriggling and wreaking havoc wildly.
"Ugh uhhhhhhhhhh!"
Screams so tragic that they did not sound like human voices erupted from every corner of the "Light Smelter"'s body, carrying some kind of mysterious invisible power that shook the entire building!
"Oh!"
The next second, his body collapsed, and his red robe with white patterns suddenly tore apart, and countless green long strips of objects danced wildly and scattered.
Those are thick green vines!
Victor, who had just condensed into a human form, disintegrated into hundreds of vines again!
Moreover, the vines no longer grew thorns or flowers, but...
Eyes without eyelashes and eyelids.
A large amount of sticky mucus also flows on the surface of the vine, emitting an extremely polluting, pungent stench that tortures people's minds.
After just a single encounter, this "metallurgist" from the "Earth" realm suddenly lost control and mutated on the spot!
"Uh!"
The old man in a suit who was holding the mirror suddenly let out a painful cry, and the surface of the mirror in his hand faded from darkness and returned to its original state.
He flipped his wrist, hiding the mirror, then closed his eyes, frowned, and a look of pain and frenzy quickly appeared on his face.
Under the slightly torn and dirty suit, countless living creatures were frantically moving and crawling, almost bursting the clothes.
But soon, after a few rounds of deep breathing, his face barely regained its calmness, and the restlessness under his clothes was no longer there.
"The backlash of the Mirror of Redmormon is really unbearable. I almost became like that old dog..."
His face was as pale as a corpse, and he murmured weakly.
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the slippery vines that were flapping and wriggling wildly, almost tearing down the concrete building.
As a "Light Smelter", Victor is a powerful wizard second only to the Divine Beings, so it is not easy for him to die.
Although he was caught completely off guard and faced the divine pollution shock released by the "Mirror of Redmormon", he entered a state of out-of-control madness for a short period of time...
But it won't be long before he can stabilize himself and return to normal.
By then, he would be on guard and it would be difficult for him to repeat the same trick.
But if it comes to a head-on fight, a magician like me will definitely not be the opponent.
I watched as those tentacle-like slime vines gradually calmed down and stopped wantonly destroying their surroundings. They began to gather at the same location and regain their human form.
The old man in the suit immediately stimulated the exhausted and almost dried up spiritual energy in his body, causing the scarlet runes surrounding his body to glow brightly.
His body suddenly accelerated, leaving a trail of afterimage behind him. He instantly crossed a distance of hundreds of meters and left the Executioner Team headquarters, which had already been in ruins.
Before the dilapidated building completely disappeared from his sight, he suddenly felt something and turned around to take a look.
I saw a beautiful girl in a cloak standing quietly on the roof, her face calm but difficult to fathom, looking at me from afar.
At the same time when their eyes met, all kinds of scenes swept backwards at a high speed as they flew.
Whether it was the dilapidated Executioner Team headquarters building or the mysterious gaze of the beautiful girl, they all completely disappeared at the end of his sight.
Chapter 223 The Mysterious Helper
Inside the Executioner Squad headquarters, which was in ruins.
Hundreds of slippery vines stopped raging and started to gather towards an open space quickly and orderly as if they had regained their sanity.
Those dense, terrifying, and strange eyes that covered the surface of the vines gently closed and converged, turning into conical thorns and beautiful flowers.
The sticky and slippery mucus also dried and evaporated quickly, eventually disappearing.
Soon, the green vines returned to normal and gathered together, forming the "Punisher" Victor with white hair and a mustache.
The red robe with white patterns on his body had been shattered. Several thin vines were wrapped around his body, weaving into a simple body-covering garment full of natural atmosphere.
"The Mirror of Redmormon... is actually in his hands?"
The "Light Smelter" from the "Earth" realm murmured and raised his head, looking at the huge hole that led directly to the sky.
Pieces of dark red cloth with white patterns flew out from various corners of the ruins, stuck to the surface of his body, and quickly pieced together.
When Nancy arrived riding the flames, the red robe with white stripes had been put back on by "Punisher" Victor.
Several green vines covered with flowers and thorns surrounded him, swaying gently and silently.
"Sir Victor."
Surrounded by orange-red flames, Nancy's blue-haired figure slowly fell to the ground.
After she saw the tragic scene of the team headquarters in mid-air, her face instantly darkened:
"The attacker...has already escaped?"
"Nancy," Victor looked around and looked deeply at the team leader with a complicated expression, "This matter will be fully handed over to the Super Management Bureau, and I and a few 'agents' will be in charge."
"Agent" is a senior position within the Super Management Bureau, specializing in carrying out and handling tasks or accidents that are beyond the capabilities of the Executioner Team.
Those who obtain this position are basically powerful extraordinary people. "The Punisher" Victor is an "agent" and one of the most powerful ones.
"I...I'll go search for survivors."
