Chapter 115 Reinforcements
Almost at the same time that Dylan pulled out the bone knife and stabbed Char, Arabelle also pulled out a pistol and pulled the trigger at him.
At Arabel's reminder, other people around also drew their guns and fired.
However, the small-caliber bullets fired from the pistol were immediately absorbed by the opponent's muscles after hitting him, and could not shake him at all. The bullets fired from other people's rifles or machine guns hit Dylan, at most causing him to tremble slightly, without any pain.
"You betrayed me first!"
Dylan roared and raised his left hand to stab at Char. At this time, the bones that grew on his hand entangled with each other and turned into a twisted bone spear.
Char grabbed the spear with one hand and swung the battle axe with the other hand to chop at Dylan's body, but Dylan's right hand, which had turned into a tentacle, wrapped around Char's hand holding the axe. The two sides fell into a wrestling state, and for a while neither could do anything to the other.
Arabelle put Howard down - Howard only had a few broken bones that affected his movement, but simply standing was not a big problem - then picked up the power weapon and wanted to go up to help Char. Seeing this, Dylan directly headbutted Char on the forehead.
Although Char was consciously dodging, the horn on Dylan's head still left a deep groove on his forehead. At the same time, although he avoided the horn, Dylan's head still hit Char's head. Char was dazed by the collision, and Dylan let go of him. Char staggered back a few steps and almost fell backwards.
But at the last moment, the pump in the back of his head pumped an excessive amount of rationality medicine into his brain, forcing him to regain consciousness. He then used his lumbar spine to regain his balance, but still half-knelt on the ground.
If he was in full condition against Dylan in this state, it would be hard to tell who would win or lose, but he had just been severely exhausted by the Nurgle beast and now he couldn't even muster half of his strength, so he was in such a mess.
After repelling Char, Dylan swung his tentacles like a whip at Arabelle who was rushing towards him. Arabelle kept dodging, but Dylan kept chasing her. Finally, he forced Arabelle into a dead end and whipped her with his tentacles. Arabelle had no way of dodging and could only raise her mechanical arms to resist, but the result was that she was knocked flying and hit a large iron barrel before falling down.
In just a few rounds, Dylan, blessed by Nurgle, defeated the two strongest fighters present, but he did not take advantage of the moment when Char and Arabel were unable to move to pursue the victory, but began to examine himself.
He raised his hands and slowly turned his left hand, which had become a weapon, so that he could see every detail of the spear. Then he looked at his right hand, which had become a tentacle, twisting and stretching in all directions like a boneless snake.
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha..." He suddenly burst into laughter, then fiercely shouted at Char, who was kneeling on the ground: "Look at me now, look at what I'm like now. What have I lost? And what have I gained? All I lost was the noose you put around my neck, but I gained everything! You gained power by transforming yourself into something inhuman, and your loving Father bestowed power upon me in an instant!"
"But... haven't you also become half-human, half-ghost?" Xia Ya spat out a mouthful of blood, then looked up at him. "And you've also lost the honor and dignity of being human."
"Humanity's honor and dignity are worthless!" Dylan extended his tentacles, wrapped them around Char's neck, and lifted him from the ground. "In this universe, humanity! There has never been honor or dignity! Everything is but a lie of the false emperor! Only a loving father! Only a loving father can embrace every human soul! How long will you persist in your delusion? How many more people will you kill?"
"Woo——"
There was a teeth-grinding sound of metal friction, and the crane that had just caught and killed the Nurgle beast started working again. Howard had only broken the cable of one of the hooks, but it still had two hooks that could work.
Then the crane began to rotate at the fastest speed, and the remaining two hooks smashed towards Dylan like two huge meteor hammers.
With a loud "clang", the hook weighing hundreds of kilograms hit the defenseless Dylan hard. He was knocked off the ground with both feet and rolled on the ground for several times before stopping.
But his body was strengthened by the plague of Nurgle after all, so although half of his body was dented by the blow, he still climbed up again, and his dented body was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"I almost forgot about you, weird pancake chef." Dylan turned his gaze to Howard and said, "Come with me. I'll take you to a place where you can better utilize your abilities."
"You..." Howard frowned and said, "What did you call me?"
"Aren't you the one who makes weird pancakes? Is there anything wrong with me calling you that?" Dylan asked back.
"No, no." Howard smiled and said, "I see."
"I advise you not to play any tricks." Dylan slowly approached Howard and said, "Although I don't want to kill you, if you fall into the hands of the false emperor, I don't mind getting rid of you with my own hands."
At this time, the sound of gas jet was heard in the sky. Howard and Dylan looked up and saw an airship flying over.
"Look, this airship is definitely coming to pick you up," Dylan said coldly. "This quarantine site requires the labor of thousands of people every day to maintain, but in the event of a crisis, only a few are eligible to evacuate. The others are left behind to buy time for those few."
Then he added, "But it's no use. I'm here, and if you're alone..."
"boom!"
Before Dylan could finish his bold words, a laser beam shot down from the airship, covering Dylan's entire huge body.
A circle of heat spread from the spot where the laser hit, causing Howard's hair to curl slightly. Under the blazing white laser, Dylan was only a black outline, and this outline continued to evaporate and fade.
When the laser went out, all that was left on the ground was a deep pit with a smooth edge, nearly two meters in diameter and nearly three meters deep, emitting black smoke. The air was filled with the stench of burnt protein.
And at the edge of the deep pit, there was still half a bone spear left. That was the part of Dylan that was not hit by the laser just now.
The airship slowly descended. Ivan, dressed in a red and white robe, stood in the cabin. He glanced at the broken spear on the ground and said, "You are right. I have no interest in saving everyone, but you alone are not qualified to push me to the extent you claim."
