Our Family Has Fallen

Chapter 1266: Chapter 692: I Am Fire 8_2

Although the Flesh Reconstruction consumed very little Spiritual Essence, that was when it was applied to the human body. But now it was a massive Void Demon, and the consumption of Spiritual Essence made Lance heartache.

However, the sunk cost was too high, and he could only grit his teeth and continue.

Luckily, he had sacrificed quite a few simple-minded villagers along the way, providing him with ample Spiritual Essence to squander, otherwise, he would have had the will but not the means.

Soon, the largest tumor on the chaotic terror monster’s head began to tremble, the eyes on it blinked wildly, and the tentacles frantically tried to grab that flesh.

But all this was to no avail because its flesh was equally suppressed by a more powerful force, becoming instantly rigid, and the tentacles hung limply.

At this moment, taking advantage of the opportunity, it could be seen that the blood vessels penetrating the brain and the tentacles were being pushed out together.

Aside from the twisted flesh on the surface, the side connected to the parasite had countless wriggling tentacles, resembling a tentacle creature.

And now, having lost the tentacles’ grasp, the entire mass fell from the chaotic terror monster, like a bug.

This left behind a deep flesh pit occupying half of the chaotic terror monster’s head, with the surface skin and flesh assimilated, just parted a moment ago, revealing numerous holes of various sizes, akin to a honeycomb.

Just one glance would trigger a phobia of dense clusters, one can only imagine what the forefather did to control the Limping Walker.

Fortunately, thanks to Lance’s healing, the flesh on the wound proliferated rapidly, new flesh filling the gaps, also relieving the chaotic terror monster from its endless suffering.

But at this moment, the chaotic terror monster suddenly raised its tentacle, swinging it toward Lance.

This scene directly terrified Amanda and the others; this sudden strike came before they could react, and the tentacle fell.

But it merely grazed Lance, striking instead at the tumor that had just separated and was attacking Lance, sending it flying with a single tentacle swipe.

The few who realized what happened were stunned, but even more shocked.

Ah! Did they see that right just now?

The monster was protecting the Lord?

What the hell is going on?

Amanda was about to go mad, her worldview seemed to be collapsing.

Audrey was faring little better, the successive shocks were even more maddening than those earlier attacks.

Only Boudica appeared very casual, seemingly unable to understand why they were reacting this way.

Whatever the boss does, she doesn’t find it strange.

Lance didn’t even move, for he had also noticed the tumor attacking him, and he knew the chaotic terror monster’s actual target.

Lance was speechless, he intended to sacrifice that thing to replenish his Spiritual Essence, why attack it?

Yet, there was some surprise... he looked up at the chaotic terror monster, which seemed to notice Lance’s gaze and lowered its head.

Both sides exchanged a glance... many glances, as it had many eyeballs.

”Don’t move.”

Lance was too lazy to waste words, and after leaving a sentence, he continued with the surgery, beginning to suppress and remove the parasites on the chaotic terror monster.

The parasites attached to the head were the most troublesome, when that thing was peeled away, it indicated that the remaining ones were no longer challenging.

The parasites that had already grown together with the chaotic terror monster would separate themselves from the flesh just like before.

This time, Lance simply walked over to catch it, then casually sacrificed it to replenish Spiritual Essence.

Everything proceeded smoothly, the gradually slowing rhythm also eased the tense atmosphere on the scene.

Just at this moment, another Heretic Priest broke in. Upon discovering that the chaotic terror monster was controlled by Lance, he immediately took action.

Lance suddenly felt the seemingly powerless parasites begin to move, start to proliferate, and devour the flesh of the chaotic terror monster.

”Get rid of it!”

Lance couldn’t let the interfering Heretic Priest ruin his plan and immediately turned to Amanda and the others to command.

Boudica had waited this long; all things cleared up, hearing Lance’s order, she promptly raised axe and spear and charged at the Heretic Priest.

Amanda had no time to dwell on Lance’s strange actions, turned to deal with the Priest, and flicked out a Flying Dagger.

The skirmish ensued again, truth be told, what can a solitary Heretic Priest accomplish?

Even Audrey, hiding behind, dared to go up and dish out a hit with a pickaxe.

But Lance seemed to sense something amiss, it shouldn’t be this easy for them.

In this special environment, conveying messages is incredibly tough, his Messengers were ineffective, which meant these Priests must have sensed something to come over.

But given the current situation, he couldn’t afford to delay; he needed to focus on the surgery.

Just as Lance had anticipated, once a Heretic Priest appeared, it indicated that many more were heading over.

One, indeed, could be taken down, but when the second, third... more Heretic Priests were alarmed by the chaotic terror monster’s loss of control and rushed to suppress it.

The three of them instantly fell into trouble.

The appearance of several Priests trapped them at once. Originally, Audrey could’ve escaped, but seeing the Heretic Priest being thrashed by the two, she too wanted to come up and dish out hits with a pickaxe.

Who knew that just as she got close and hadn’t even had her fill of satisfaction, several more Heretic Priests emerged, resorting to fatal attacks straightaway. Luckily, she retrieved the Touching Gold Talisman, had its blessing, and promptly dodged.

When she intended to escape, she found her retreat blocked, and they were trapped in an encirclement.

Yet those Heretic Priests wouldn’t waste time; they would kill any enemy not belonging here.

The few struggled to defend, but were also retreating steadily, when facing an onslaught with similar individual strength, it essentially meant waiting for death.

Boudica was already injured, and Amanda wasn’t faring any better.

At this moment, those Heretic Priests began to bow deeply; this wasn’t ”private Marseille,” but a profound sacrificial gesture!

Finished!

At this moment, the despair was like the Bone Blade piercing toward them...

But just then, a force stirred up a violent turmoil, sweeping across the place in an instant, as if space itself had twisted upside down.

All present were disrupted by the turbulence, even the Heretic Priests couldn’t escape being thrown out, naturally breaking the encirclement in an instant.

”Retreat! Retreat! Clear out!”

Lance rushed forward the first moment, Bless and Flesh Reconstruction awakening and healing them.

Having endured a few instances, their resilience was higher than those Heretic Priests; with Lance’s aid, they quickly regained clarity.

Amanda and Boudica found themselves at the edge, capable of running a few steps to break away from those Priests, whereas Audrey, the unlucky one was once again pushed into the Priests’ midst.

With realization, Audrey looked around herself surrounded by Priests, wanting to cry but devoid of tears.

Once, twice were fine, but how come it happens again? Why am I this unfortunate?

What did I do, that the gods would punish me like this?

Lance, of course, noticed this as well, he could simply ignore, allowing Audrey to remain amidst the Priests, as to surviving the battle would depend on her own skills.

Despite slight hesitation, he decided to intervene, Boudica and Amanda took note, not letting her mar their reputation.

The rule set by Hamlet was no abandonment, no giving up!

The speed he unleashed was terrifying, sacrificing himself to charge into the Heretic Priests, grabbing the dazed Audrey and casting her towards Boudica and the others.

”Catch!”

The shout startled the two back into focus, watching the flying person, Amanda first flicked out the long whip to wrap around the body, slowing the speed, and pulled her down.

Boudica stifled the urge to split that thing in half with an axe, and instead released the axe spear to reach out and catch.

Impacted by a human projectile!

The weight of the entire person crushed upon her, forcing her to stagger back two steps to mitigate the force, yet she managed to catch steadily, unexpectedly flipping Audrey onto the ground, to then seize the axe spear yet again.
