Chapter 269: 268 “horn Chapter 269: 268 “horn “Eek…!”
Jiorrido let out a scream filled with fear.
Because Shane had finally lifted his feet and was walking in his direction.
“Don’t come over! Don’t come over!”
Jiorrido was terrified, recalling the scene where people around him were bursting open one after another and looking at the countless pieces of flesh and blood around him. He fell into madness, scrabbling back on the ground while crying with snot and tears.
But Shane turned a deaf ear and walked directly in front of Jiorrido, looking down at the noble covered in blood, snot, and tears, then suddenly lifted his foot and stomped down hard.
With the sound of breaking, Jiorrido’s foot had been mercilessly crushed by Shane.
Jiorrido immediately screamed in pain, a sound that made everyone from Vivian’s Team shudder.
Yet Shane carry on without care, lifting his foot again and stomping down hard on Jiorrido’s other foot.
The sound of breaking echoed once again, leaving both of Jiorrido’s legs twisted in a grotesque angle.
Such pain naturally caused Jiorrido to scream continuously, and he started to beg for mercy.
But Shane remained unmoved, showing no softness of heart; with each foot that rose and fell, he broke both of Jiorrido’s arms, making his screams even louder.
That scene was enough to give children nightmares and horrify all the girls.
Lu Muya and Merica showed expressions of pity.
Vivian’s face changed subtly, yet she said nothing.
Although they were kind, they weren’t naïve. Even feeling pity and empathy, they would not stop Shane.
After all, the other party had almost killed Tielle and had pursued them for three whole days. With such a grudge, anyone with a brain wouldn’t easily forgive.
Therefore, although Vivian’s Team found Shane a bit terrifying, they did not sympathize with Jiorrido, nor did they think Shane was too harsh.
Some cruelties were beyond what the girls could do themselves, but that didn’t mean they weren’t willing to watch.
Thus, Jiorrido received his deserved punishment, which, if not satisfying, was at least a relief for the members of Vivian’s Team.
As for Ai Yi, witnessing this scene, she couldn’t help but blink.
“So cruel,” Ai Yi said with a slight smile, “But I like it.”
Clearly, Shane’s ruthlessness didn’t leave a bad impression on Ai Yi, but rather impressed her more.
In such circumstances, Shane not only crushed Jiorrido’s limbs but also his ribs, causing his screams to weaken.
Before long, Jiorrido lay on the ground like a boneless worm, writhing and living in pain, barely clinging to life.
At this time, Jiorrido was still begging for mercy.
“Someone who never thought to spare others, what right do they have to ask for mercy?” Shane finally spoke.
“I won’t bother with big principles since talking to a parasite like you would probably be beyond your comprehension.”
“So, I’ll just tell you in plain and simple terms.”
“Unfortunately, you did something wrong, you crossed the wrong person.”
With that, Shane’s foot rose for the last time and heavily fell onto Jiorrido’s chest.
Amidst the loudest breaking sound so far, Jiorrido’s breastbone was directly crushed by Shane, collapsing inward.
Jiorrido’s eyes bulged, filled with a longing for life and endless regret.
Then, Jiorrido’s breath completely vanished.
The individuals who had come to kill Vivian’s Team were all eliminated.
Only then did Shane return to his normal appearance and rushed to the girls’ side.
Shane, while helping Vivian up, looked at Lu Muya and Merica and asked softly.
“We’re alright.” Vivian shook her head and, looking at Shane, smiled and said, “Fortunately, you came.”
Upon hearing this, Shane couldn’t help but give a bitter smile.
But at that moment, Merica’s voice came through again.
With such a choked sob, a young girl’s figure threw herself into Shane’s arms.
Shane felt a slight shock before he realized that the person hugging him was none other than Merica.
“You’re here, that’s such a relief…”
Merica seemed not to notice anything amiss, embracing Shane and crying tears of joy.
Shane immediately felt a bit embarrassed.
Vivian, standing by his side, cast a teasing glance at him.
Shane felt increasingly awkward and quickly began patting Merica’s back, comforting her.
“Sorry, I’m late, it’s good to see you’re all okay.”
Shane’s comforting, in return, was met with Merica’s continuous shaking of her head.
As for Merica’s hands, they naturally never let go from the start.
This left Shane not knowing quite what to do.
“Tielle! Tielle! What’s wrong with you…!?”
Lu Muya’s crying voice suddenly broke through.
Everyone’s hearts tightened, and they hurriedly turned to look.
Only then did they all notice that Tielle had still not awakened, being cradled in Lu Muya’s arms, even as Lu Muya shook her body continuously, she did not wake up.
“What’s wrong with her?”
Shane’s complexion changed at the sight, and after releasing Merica, he quickly went over to Lu Muya’s side and took Tielle into his arms.
As he held her, Shane nearly pushed Tielle away from him.
Indeed, Tielle’s body was scorching hot, so hot that Shane felt as if he had grabbed onto magma.
Furthermore, the aura on Tielle’s body had become somewhat chaotic, and magic power was gradually surging forth.
Shane’s face changed and changed again.
Because, in his perception, the magic power flowing from within Tielle’s body carried an evil, dark, and strange sensation.
This feeling was as if some dreadful thing was awakening, making Shane have a bad premonition.
Vivian, her face full of concern as if thinking of something, suddenly turned pale with fright.
Seeing this, Shane wanted to ask immediately, but he was interrupted by a voice.
“Danger! Get out of the way!”
This voice came from mid-air.
Ai Yi, who had been floating in the air and was about to come down, seemed to notice Tielle’s abnormality. Furrowing her brows, she stared intently, and only then did her expression suddenly change, calling out a stark warning.
Shane was not able to react.
And a hand already grasped his shoulder.
Shane’s pupils constricted.
In his arms, the hood on Tielle’s head fell off, exposing her face with a half-mask to Shane’s eyes.
Of course, that was not the point.
The point was, Shane clearly and plainly saw it.
On Tielle’s forehead, when nobody knew, a pitch-black horn had grown.
Tielle then lifted her head and opened her eyes.
Those eyes, deeply red.
The next instant, a tearing sound was heard.
A trail of blood sprayed into the air, touching the hearts of everyone present.
