74 Ray Bieber (2/2)
”The Flower that once has bloomed forever dies...”
...
The power that allowed one to enter a peaceful slumber emanated. The twisted grayish-white monster gradually slowed down as though it could not fight against the charm of the poem.
Then, it opened its mouth and let out a shrill cry that ordinary people were deaf to.
”Ah!”
...
Bang! Klein felt a sharp pain in his head as he automatically exited his Spirit Vision state.
He felt warm liquid flowing out of his nose, and when he subconsciously wiped it with his hand, he discovered the back of his hand covered in blood.
Aiur and Leonard fell back to the ground at the same time. They had blood stains lining the corners of their lips, noses, and eyes.
Borgia, Dunn, and Lorotta each took a step or two back, the color in their face draining.
That monster only screamed once, but it appeared to exceed what the six Beyonders could withstand. They instantly turned extremely weak.
Bam!
It closed in on Borgia and suddenly swung its twisted joint.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Borgia and Dunn shot twice each, but they didn't cause any damage to Monster Bieber.
Bang! A blow sent Borgia flying out as his long-barreled revolver fell to the ground.
He tried to stand up a few times, but failed to do so.
The corner of Monster Bieber's mouth had stringy liquid oozing out as it leaped towards the black chest.
Bang!
At that crucial moment, Aiur Harson shot a bullet at the box to knock it some distance away, preventing Monster Bieber from grabbing it. Its momentum brought it forward by more than ten meters.
The black chest cracked and as the thumping within turned more intense it grew more obvious.
”Found it!” The black-haired Lorotta finally spoke. ”I need you to control it for at least three seconds.”
”Alright.” Dunn didn't delay any further. He extended his hand to tap his glabella and closed his eyes.
He seemed to fall asleep as shapeless waves slowly rippled out one after another.
In that instant, Monster Bieber paused and the craziness in its eyes quickly receded. Its thin transparent eyelids began to close uncontrollably as well.
Dunn's body started quivering, and something popped up under his clothing and wriggled on the spot. It was as though he hid slippery scaleless snakes within.
Lorotta rushed over and with a roll, arrived under Monster Bieber.
She supported herself with one hand while raising a clenched fist, bombarding Monster Bieber's crotch like artillery.
Poof!
She ignored the corrosive pain but supported herself against the ground and directed more strength once again. She went higher a little as her fist drilled deeper in.
Rip! Lorotta pulled out her forearm as she dragged out an intestine filled with brownish-yellow blood stains.
In the intestine, there was an ancient notebook.
”Ah!”
Monster Bieber let out a blood-curdling scream, and his body suddenly lit up as though it was melting.
”Get down!”
Just as Aiur Harson's hurried shout ended, Klein saw Monster Bieber suddenly swell up.
Boom!
Amid a loud explosion, the distant Klein was tossed into the air by the shockwave and landed heavily.
He struggled to stand against a swirling headache, and he saw Monster Bieber turn into a pile of disgusting, rotting flesh. Then he saw Dunn and Lorotta, who were a dozen meters away, looking like they had been knocked out.
Aiur Harson, Borgia, and Leonard Mitchell were on the ground too. Some groaning in pain, some struggling to stand up but failing.
Klein was just about to relax when he suddenly saw a familiar object about two or three meters away from him.
The black chest had stopped rolling, and cracked surface was facing the sky.
A skinny brown arm extended out.
Sealed Artifact... 2-049... F**k! Klein's heart tensed up as he immediately leaped in the opposite direction in a bid to escape 2-049's effective range.
The blast from before had thrown the black chest near him!
And at that moment, Klein's head suddenly buzzed as his thoughts turned sluggish.
