Chapter 419 Inflicting Heavy Damage to Teammates
It was not that Roy was messing around, but that he wanted to give this brat Sareth this formidable destructive power.
In Roy’s plan, the sealed plague power was for Sareth to save his life. If Sareth was in danger, it meant that he had encountered a powerful enemy or enemies that exceeded the number that his ability could handle. In this case, the stronger the trump card, the better, the more ferocious, the better, so that he could kill the opponent as soon as possible to save his life.
Before Roy obtained wind power, his viruses spread either through frost power, in the form of snowflakes, or through dripping blood into a water source to spread through the water source. These two methods of proliferation were kinds of contact transmission, so the efficiency was not too high. In fact, the destructive power was not much.
But it was different now. Beelzebub’s shell had given him wind power, which was equivalent to transforming the transmission method of his viruses from contact to air transmission. The efficiency and destructive power had risen by several levels!
The black plague storm quickly engulfed the lower levels of the Qliphoth and continued to spread upward. Before long, it reached the area near V.
“Huh? What happened?” V was vigilant. When he heard the faint screams of demons coming from the distance, he immediately turned around. V’s current position was almost in the lower-middle section of the Qliphoth, only at the height of about a few hundred meters, but he had indeed explored ahead of Sareth. The farthest and highest one was Nero, who was now almost at a height of a thousand meters. And be it V or Nero, they were actually moving forward according to the location where Urizen had been in their memories.
The moment V turned his head, he saw a black storm rapidly approaching from behind. The demons wandering on the ground and in the sky all let out tragic roars and soon died after the black storm enveloped them.
“What... what the hell is that?!” V could not help but widen his eyes. But before he could see clearly, Griffon on his shoulder immediately screamed, “Oh no! Danger! Great danger is approaching! We’re dying! We’re going to die if we don’t hide!” Hearing Griffon’s warning, V shuddered and immediately began to run forward.
As he ran, he turned his head to look behind him. The coverage of the black storm was astonishing, and it was much faster than his running speed. He estimated that in less than half a minute, the black storm would catch up to him.
“Not good! We have to find a place to hide!” V shouted. “And it has to be a sealed place!”
Griffon was flying in the air. After hearing V’s shout, he looked around for a few moments and pointed to the right. “In the water! In the water! There’s a pool over there. Quick, jump in!”
At this moment, V could not worry about too much. According to Griffon’s instructions, he turned and rushed to the right. He took a deep breath and plunged into the pool. The moment he entered the water, the demon crow Griffon turned into black smoke and entered V’s body.
Under the pool, V held his breath and looked up at the surface of the water. About four to five seconds later, the surface of the water suddenly turned pitch-black from the black storm blowing from above. What... is that? V looked solemnly at the black shadow passing by above his head, his mind full of question marks.
But before he could figure it out, he suddenly found a black color had appeared on the surface of the water, just like a drop of ink dripping into a pool. The black color was twisting and warping in the water, and it began to spread as the water shook.
V was shocked. He quickly controlled his movements and tried his best to minimize the shaking of the water. Then he watched as the black color slowly spread above his head.
It had to be said that V was lucky to have chosen to hide in the pool. Roy’s plague spread with the help of the power of the storm, but it did not spread so quickly in the water. Moreover, apart from the Magic Power Virus and the Desolate Virus, the other viruses in this plague were airborne types, and they were ineffective in water.
Furthermore, even the Magic Power Virus and the Desolate Virus had a concentration problem in water...
When the viruses spread in the water, V was inevitably affected. He felt that the little amount of magic power in his body was gradually flowing away, and the skin all over his body was itching.
Realizing that something was wrong, V did not dare to stay in the water any longer. He estimated that the black storm should have passed, so he hurriedly got out of the water, not daring to stay in the pool.
Huff! Huff! V’s entire body was wet, and he was gasping for breath while kneeling. At the same time, he turned his head to look at the pool with lingering fear and found that the originally clear pool was gradually turning black.
Looking up high into the sky, V found that the black storm was moving away. And wherever the storm raged, there was still a lot of black dust floating. Although the density had become very thin, it did not completely disappear.
V did not know what this black dust was, but he also realized that he would come into contact with it if he foolishly stayed exposed in the air like this. This black dust seemed to devour the magic power in his body and also caused his skin to itch and swell.
At this moment, V saw the bones of a demon not far away. They were still fresh and clearly caused by the black storm just now.
Without comparison, there would be no harm. V immediately realized that he seemed to have escaped a disaster in the water. Although his body was currently experiencing abnormalities, it was much better than these demons who died directly.
“Is it some kind of poison or pathogen? Or some kind of tiny insect?” V thought for a while and came to a conclusion. He was almost certain.
“No matter what it is, flames should be able to work, right?” V dragged his exhausted body, walked tens of meters away, and found a damaged car in the nearby ruins. He took out his cane and used the tip to dig at the fuel tank. He pierced a hole in the fuel tank, let the little remaining gas flow out, and guided it to circle around him. When there was enough gas, he lit it.
The gas ignited into raging flames, forming a ring of fire around V. He sat in the ring of fire with his hands covering his mouth and nose, trying to get as close to the flames as possible to burn the abnormal spots on his skin! He was using this method to try to eliminate the toxins or pathogens on them. Pain! The places he was burning were extremely painful, but no matter how painful it was, he could only endure it. Fortunately, the method he used worked. After burning several places, he found that the loss of his magic power seemed to have slowed down, proving that his guess was right.
But... V looked up at the black dust floating in the air, and his heart sank. Even though he had eliminated the pathogens on his skin with the fire, what about the black dust in the air? It was impossible for him to ignite flames all over his body to resist, right?
Nero had the same thought. The plague storm spread to his altitude in a short time. Just like V, he chose to hide in water to avoid the disaster, but after coming out, he encountered the same situation as V.
On the other hand, Nico had not gone too high. After all, she was just driving a car to provide logistical support and had always been following behind. The height of her advancement was not even comparable to Sareth’s, so she was lucky enough to escape the disaster.
Just as V and Nero did not know how to deal with this sudden disaster, the raging black storm suddenly disappeared. It was not that Sareth had stopped releasing the plague storm. In fact, he could not stop it because it was the power Roy had stored in Executioner. Once activated and released, the plague storm would only stop when Roy’s magic power was exhausted. In order to prevent Sareth from causing too much destruction, the viruses in the plague storm would quickly lose their activity after the storm stopped.
Not too many viruses infected V and Nero. After the plague storm stopped, the viruses on them would lose their effect, but the viruses that had already taken effect still worked.
Thus, this brat Sareth used Roy’s power to inflict severe damage to the demons in the Qliphoth...
And his two teammates...
