Chapter 581: Breaking the Limit (2)
Translator: _Leo_ Editor: Kurisu
There was a long and clean cut on the woman's stomach.
Angele could see that her intestines were cut into pieces through the wound; the only thing keeping her alive was the effect of the white scissors.
He reached to the wound and tried to touch it.
*BAM*
A ball of white light exploded at her wound and blocked Angele's hand.
"Damn it! The holy power of the church." Heli saw the light as well, and his face twitched due to the hatred and pain. He clenched his fists so tight that his nails almost stabbed into his palms.
"The injury is severe and this holy power…" Angele was a bit depressed. "Sorry, Heli, her organs and heart were cut into pieces and I can't do anything because of the holy power…"
*BAM*
Heli collapsed after hearing these words.
"There must be a way… There must be…" he kept repeating. His eyes almost looked soulless.
Angele suddenly took one step back after seeing Heli's changes.
His short black hair was growing at full speed and quickly turned to silver. Bright-green light came out of the man's eyes and two green lines appeared on his face. They almost looked like a tattoo. The man's body was changing every second; the scene was quite strange.
"She's my sister. I won't let her die like this…" Heli slowly stood up; his voice sounded like it was from a different person.
Raising his hands, a small scale that was made of white rocks appeared on his palms.
"Scale of Rules… Judgement!" Heli spoke calmly.
*Chi*
The green light in the room got even more intense.
Rays of green light that looked like arrows landed on the woman's body.
The wounds on the woman's body started healing at full speed, including her organs. The holy power was slowly expelled from her body—it seemed like the holy power could not resist the green light.
The scale in Heli's hand slowly leaned to the right side.
*PA*
Blood spurted out of Heli's mouth as he kneeled.
Strings of green lines slowly spurted out of Heli's skin. The lines looked like hair and started growing right away as they surrounded Heli's body.
About ten seconds later, Heli was turned into a large green cocoon.
Angele stood on the side and waited until the green lines stopped moving. He walked to the masked woman and started checking her body using the biochip.
"Her heart is pumping again and everything looks fine. That's unbelievable…" Angele was surprised.
"Her injury was severe but she still survived. The life energy was at the same level as my true form… Also, the best ability of their bloodline was not recovery…"
Angele's sight fell upon the cocoon.
"Scale of Rules… I thought it was Misfortune Scale. I can see that his bloodline is getting strengthened…" Angele was excited, he could feel that his body was trembling in excitement due to this bloodline. It was like fish in the water.
"The fatal injury helped him break the limit… After the cocoon breaks, the process will be completed and I can extract the blood from him…" Angele did the analysis, he was certain that the bloodline of Misfortune Scale would aid him; the proof was that the bloodline essence helped him rank up as a wizard.
"The only thing I can do it wait. I shouldn't interrupt this process…"
The cocoon was weak. However, the thing that was going on inside was complicated and it would be stopped by a simple strike.
"Huh?" Angele suddenly looked to the right. His eyes were surrounded by a red glow—he could see through walls and trees. He was looking at something far from here.
********************************
In the forest.
A team of knights in silver armor was traveling through the trees at full speed. Their horses were also fully geared, their eyes surrounded by green glow.
There were around ten knights in the team. The leader was a young woman in golden armor.
"How far is the destination from us, Morin?" the female knight questioned in a loud voice.
"We're almost there, we just need to go over that hill!" a male knight behind her responded.
"We've just finished off some wizards and now we have to deal with those people with bloodline abilities. The wizards are like insects and those people are like rats. Without the barriers, they are nothing to us. I wonder how they protected their inheritors from us," another female knight complained.
"They have ways to survive even if they are rats," the leader responded. "Be careful, everyone, wizards and the people with bloodlines are weak but we need to work in groups. If you're surrounded by more than five people, it'll be a problem."
"What are you afraid of? They can't do anything to us." The female knight snorted. "They will try their best to run if they see us."
"Just be careful." The leader glanced at the female knight. She was not concerned.
"Master Rayton is coming with us this time, there's nothing for us to worry about."
"Those rates are good at running around but they can't do anything to us."
"Let's make this a competition, what do you think? I could've won the last time if you didn't start first, Max."
"Well, you would lose anyways."
The knights were chatting and chuckling.
"Quiet!" The female leader raised her hand and the team quickly stopped talking.
The flames on their torches were waving, they looked like red silk clothes in the air. The only noise left was made by the hooves.
Several minutes later, they found a camp with burning campfire ahead. A tall man was sitting beside the fire; he heard the noise and a surprised look appeared on his face. The man quickly rolled to the side and disappeared into the bushes.
The female leader drew the scimitar and shouted, "A bloodline inheritor! Don't let him go!"
"Go! Hurry!"
The knights shouted and charged into the bushes.
Sadly, the man was just a distraction, he was trying to lead them to the wrong path.
*****************************
On the other side of the forest, there was a small team led by Rayton. There were five knights in the team, going after the black shadow ahead.
They were far from their original destination.
"Wait! It's a trap!" Rayton's expression changed as he quickly stopped the horse. "Halt!"
The armored horses slowed down and the team was stopped.
"What happened, sir?"
"We should've continued. We were so close to that guy!"
Rayton raised his hand and stopped the knights from complaining.
"That guy was leading us in the wrong destination, we need to change our direction and head to our original destination as soon as possible.
"Understood!"
The knights agreed, turned around, and started heading to their original destination.
***********************
Inside the cave.
Angele was no longer checking the situation in the forest.
He stepped out of the room, closed the door, and slowly took off his gloves.
"I guess Heli's plan failed. This is important to me so I'll have to handle them myself…"
He walked to the door of the cave and gave Fra his gloves.
"Kid, I need to check the situation. I'll be back soon. Just stay in the room."
"Sure." Fra knew that Angele was not playing around so she did not say anything else. She knew how bad Heli and his sister were injured. Fra's face was pale and she was vomiting in the washroom.
Angele opened the door and tightened the black cloak he was wearing. He quickly checked the surroundings.
"No one shall interrupt Heli's progress…" A red glow surrounded his eyes. He closed the door and disappeared into a ball of flames.
************************
In the deep forest, a white shadow charged to the Vienna Valley like a white string.
The shadow traveled through the stones, trees, and bushes like they were nothing. The shadow did not make any noise and almost looked like an illusion.
The shadow was a tall knight in white armor; he lowered his body and he was traveling at full speed. There were two long white tentacles on his chin, the chain sickle on his back was also white.
That knight was Rayton, he left the team after he realized that they were tricked because his teammates were way too slow. He was heading to their original destination.
"You chose a path that passed by the base of the church, do you really think I can't track you down?" Rayton sneered.
Suddenly, the knight stopped and grabbed his chain sickle. He looked at a bush in the front with his eyes narrowed.
Angele stepped out of the bush slowly, he was wearing a black robe and his hands were hiding under the sleeves. There was a gentle smile on his face.
"Sorry, I can't let you pass. There's something important going on ahead. Also, this is my territory."
A ball of black smoke appeared behind him, the smoke turned into a black scorpion and started making noises.
"This power… It's similar to the one the scale has… You're also a bloodline inheritor?" Rayton's expression turned serious. "You're nothing but a rat. I don't think your weak bloodline power can stop me."
"Stop you? I'm not just going to stop you…" Angele sneered. "Arrogant bastard, I'll show you the true power of bloodlines!"
Raising his hands, he gripped forward. The black smoke gathered in his hands and turned into balls. It almost looked like that something terrifying was about to be released from Angele's hands.
"How's that even possible?!" Rayton's pupils retracted.
*WOO*
White flames appeared around his body, Rayton opened his mouth and released flashing white light.
