Chapter 324 - Star Beast (2)
Zero ran.
Afterimages appeared in the air, like sunlight chasing the air. They floated in the air, marking the path through which Zero had run.
Ahead of him, a butcher suddenly jumped into Zero's line of sight. The butcher, who had also discovered zero, roared and raised the warhammer in his hand. However, Zero's movement was too fast. Before the butcher's hammer could even land on the ground, Zero had already circled around it and stood up. After a while, the butcher heavily smashed down with the hammer.
However, it did not hit zero, nor did it hit the air. It hit instead, but Kazuo Watanabe.
Kazuo Watanabe lowered his body, slipped towards the butcher, jumped again, and continued to chase towards zero, there was no pause at all. As the butcher's hammer smashed the ground into pieces, several flashes of light could be seen on the body of the giant monster. Then, the butcher's eyes glazed over for a second. Then, in the next second, that giant's body soundlessly split open, turning into a few big pieces of meat.
And on Kazuo Watanabe's blade, there was still some fresh blood left in the butcher's body.
As they ran, a godly building appeared in Zero's sight. The rectangular dark red temple, on the lintel beams of the stone carvings of the stars of the universe, as well as gorgeous patterns. There were eight rows, a total of two rows of tall stone pillars supporting ten tons of stone pillars. Every stone pillar was engraved with patterns of flame, as if a temple was burning with flames.
In front of the temple, there were two statues of warriors wearing heavy armors. The statue was like a guard, guarding the front of the temple with its majestic aura.
A structure that was so close to a human civilization should not appear in Jodtenheim's land, but right now, he did not have the time to think about it. His gaze was fixated on the darkness of the godly temple.
The temple's limited space would restrict Kazuo Watanabe's movements, and darkness would cover Zero's figure. Thus, Zero slipped into the godly temple like a wisp of smoke. Kazuo Watanabe, who was behind him, saw it and unhesitatingly rushed towards the godly temple.
The temple was unusually quiet and empty, but it was not as dark as Zero had imagined.
The ground beneath Zero was made up of stone bricks, and the stone tiles were paved with stone pillars that supported the sky. In the depths of the godly temple, something was emitting a ghostly light, allowing the godly temple to not be shrouded in darkness. However, this was only for zeros. His right eye had already activated Glimmer Vision. In the depths of the temple, in the strange light, Zero could see everything within a hundred meters. In the eyes of ordinary people, the temple remained dark.
Footsteps came from behind him. In the light of the temple's entrance, Kazuo Watanabe's figure appeared.
With light steps, Su Ming moved behind a stone pillar and quietly took down the assailant behind him. After a bright flash, the energy loop on the Invader's Cannon turned into a battle mode that could be shot at any time. Su Yun held his breath, waiting for Kazuo Watanabe to deliver himself to him.
Kazuo Watanabe looked at the darkness in front of him. It did not have a sight of zero. Although it could see the flickering light from the depths, it could not see clearly enough to see through the darkness. If it was the attitude of a human, Kazuo Watanabe would have already left the godly temple. No matter what, chasing a sniper in the dark seemed stupid no matter how one looked at it.
But right now, Kazuo Watanabe's body was being controlled by instinct, and the orders embedded in it did not allow Kazuo Watanabe to give up this chase. Thus, with his Fear Claw on the ground, Kazuo Watanabe headed deeper into the godly temple.
This was a contest of patience and willpower. It was clear that Kazuo Watanabe was extremely lacking in these two aspects. After a while, it let out an impatient roar that reverberated throughout the godly temple for a long time.
It was a provocation, but what responded to it was a dark green ball of light shooting towards him from the side!
The ball of light flew close to the ground, and the green light continuously reflected the stone tiles on the ground, as well as the stone pillars on both sides. It instinctively slashed at the ball of light, but as the blade sank into the ball of light, it immediately melted away into the corrosive energy layer. The disordered person's eyes were wide open as he retreated.
His instincts told him that beneath that seemingly gentle green wall clothes, was an extremely berserk storm of energy!
A white light flashed in the temple.
After removing the jade green energy layer, the core of the ball of light released a blinding white light. After the white light faded, a dazzling white electric cloud bloomed in the darkness.
Kazuo Watanabe rushed forward as if his butt was on fire, and finally got out of the attack range of the electric cloud the instant it was caught. When the light gradually dimmed, the electric cloud quietly calmed down. There were still some flames remaining on the floor tiles and beside the pillar stones. And under the electric cloud's high frequency shock waves, a few pillars shattered with a rumble, while the floor tiles close to a hundred square meters were turned into powder!
The disordered person looked at the scene in front of him. His instincts made him feel fear, and fear made his body constantly tremble. But then, fear turned into anger. As a result, Kazuo Watanabe clenched his teeth and roared towards the depths of the temple. The direction in which it roared was the source of the deadly ball of light.
"What's the ghost's name? This is so unpleasant to listen to! "
Unexpectedly, Zero's voice came from behind. Kazuo Watanabe immediately turned around and slashed horizontally, at this moment, time seemed to come to a standstill. Kazuo Watanabe caught sight of the scene where the blade did not enter Zero's body from the corner of his eyes, causing him to be instinctively ecstatic. But right after, the feeling of the blade slicing through the void transmitted, causing Kazuo Watanabe to be startled.
An aura of energy quietly surged from behind him. Kazuo Watanabe seemed to know something and quickly slashed behind him with his other blade.
"Too late." Zero light, and press the shooter's button.
The assailant's cannon released a pressure look, and a ball of jade green light silently shot out, instantly enveloping more than half of Kazuo Watanabe's body.
It was over …
Zero said, but his eyes narrowed and he pushed his feet against the ground.
When the Blazing White electric cloud rose up once again, Zero had already escaped the explosive range of the electric cloud. In the light of death, Zero knew that it was impossible for Kazuo Watanabe to survive this time. Until now, no creature had survived the attack of the invaders.
And for the sake of killing Kazuo Watanabe, Zero had to spend a lot of time and effort.
He first shot a bullet at it, in order to confuse Kazuo Watanabe's senses and make a wrong judgement on its position. Using the cover of the darkness, Zero took the opportunity to get close to Kazuo Watanabe and intentionally attracted its attention. In the end, the moment Kazuo Watanabe turned around, it activated the "Phantom Shadow" ability. At the same time that Kazuo Watanabe mistakenly thought that it had hit him, zero had already locked onto it and released a killing blow.
However, Kazuo Watanabe's last struggle also hit zero. Zero frowned as he looked at the huge wound on his abdomen that had almost cut his waist off.
Even the specialty of Nocturnal's tactical suit was not able to defend against Kazuo Watanabe's dying attack. The tactical suit was soundlessly torn apart by the blade, followed by zero skin and muscle tissue. If Kazuo Watanabe had not jumped one step before Zero, he would have definitely died inside the electric cloud, and Zero would not be able to survive either.
The long knife would cut the zero in two at the waist, not three parts into the flesh now. However, the huge wound was not something the first aid spray could deal with. Zero's hands were covering his stomach, but blood was gushing out uncontrollably from the gaps between his fingers, quickly spreading on the ground.
