Chapter 184: Beyond the Pain of Death (Two Chapters in One)

Luo Di and Hua Yuan seemed to have reached some kind of special cooperation.

The two men’s running did not last long.

despair!
The tongue in his mouth suddenly tightened, and was raised high like a steel rod and struck hard, forcing Rody, who was running, to stop suddenly, his dark eyes quickly scanning the surrounding situation.

Hua Yuan also stopped. She seemed to feel something, something thicker and more dangerous.

The weird thing is,
There was no coffin in the area, and no sounds of running were heard, and the deceased did not seem to be chasing after them.

sough!

A slight sound of leaves rustling was caught.

Their eyes immediately locked onto a tree directly in front of them. In the darkness brought by the shade of the tree, an inconspicuous black leather glove crawled out.

It didn’t involve digging and crawling out, and the surrounding soil showed no signs of loosening at all.

Rather than crawling out, it was more like gathering out of the darkness. This method of movement was beyond the two’s cognition to some extent.

If I hadn’t stopped in time, I would have collided head-on with the deceased.

The distance is about ten meters.

When the dead crawl out of the darkness and reveal their true form,

Both Luo Di and Hua Yuan felt an unspeakable fear on the visual level.

The deceased’s special enameled silver coin mask was not transferred through the darkness, allowing his face to be revealed for the first time.

This is a face that has completely collapsed inward, like an endless pit.

Because the deceased took a step forward, a beam of light shining through the leaves happened to fall on his face, into the dark and deep concave pit on his face, illuminating the situation inside.

Deep inside the face, at the very bottom of the pit.

Countless corpses were piled up inside, their bodies glowing a dull luster, becoming soft and like tentacles, connected from head to tail to form lines.

Creeping,

Jumping,

Crawling,

Flowing,

That chilling laughter was produced by the corpses squeezing against each other.

Not to mock,

Instead, it welcomes the arrival and joining of living people.

When they saw this picture, a whisper penetrated their eardrums.

≮En’othk uulg’shuul (Death’s Sleep, Darkness)≯

It was clearly an unknown language, but Rody and the others actually understood it!

It’s as if the brain has begun to accept this unknown language.

Or maybe, when they see this picture, they can understand this language.

The light called “Black” also loomed between their brains.

But both of them had a high resistance to fear, and they quickly suppressed it with their own willpower. Their expressions became unusually firm, as if they had made some kind of decision.

Whoosh!
The two of them dispersed to the left and right at the same time.

Hua Yuan has returned to her usual girlish image, and the spiritual structure representing the [Invader] has been separated and follows her like a shadow.

The spirit body presents the clearest and most perfect image,

It is the nightmare image that was finally formed after being filtered and integrated by her mind, which is the group of invaders who once attacked Hua Yuan.

With a body far larger than that of an ordinary person,
Arms covered with tattoos and very aggressive,

Various male heads appeared on the torso.
He wore tight trousers without a belt.

Hua Yuan ran to a relatively sharp tree, and the spiritual arm directly hugged it, pulling up the tree that was more than three meters tall by the roots and making a javelin throwing motion.

Throw!
Trees with sharp tops were thrown toward the dead.

Heheha~
There was laughter.

The nearby big tree was directly split into two, and the cut surface was pitch black.

Either because of aggressive behavior through throwing, or because of deforestation.

The deceased had completely locked onto Hua Yuan and began to chase him in an exaggerated running posture, doubling his speed.

Hua Yuan also started her escape after the throwing. Along the way, anything that was big and heavy enough, whether it was a tree or a stone, was thrown by the spirit.

I thought I could delay it for a while.

But no matter what was thrown or how fast it was, as long as it got close to the dead, it would be chopped off.

Procrastination is totally ineffective.

Hua Yuan once again let the spirit pull out the tree in front of him, and just when he was about to throw it… Crack! A dark light fell instantly.

As the tree was cut, Hua Yuan’s other arm was thrown into the air.

Even the invader’s spirit condensed by the mind was cut off and dispersed.

Even if the arm is broken,
The spirit being cut directly hurt Hua Yuan’s spiritual level. Blood began to seep from all seven orifices on his face, and his overall condition was very bad.

The weird thing is,
In the desperate situation where both arms were lost and blood was flowing from all seven orifices,

Hua Yuan was neither afraid nor running away.

But standing in front of the dead and laughing loudly,

It seems that he is using this extreme emotional catharsis to suppress his inner fear.
She seemed to be laughing at herself for being the top girl in the sisterhood and falling into such a situation.

It also seemed that he was simply smiling, as if he was making some preparations.

The dead showed no mercy or hesitation,

The black knife raised above the head slashed down.

At this moment,
“生花”

Hua Yuan uttered a word softly.

Her face immediately cracked into corners.

This is a change in appearance that every mature pseudo-human can develop, called the “Flesh and Blood Corner”.

It is often used to shape corner-like spaces and to construct gaps in conjunction with other pseudo-people. It is an external form of a thinking corner.

But Hua Yuan’s situation is different.

As the fleshy corners of her face actually blossomed like flowers, her entire head was completely torn apart in the process, her facial skin bursting.

White stamens like arm structures* gushed out from the inside crazily.
*About 1/4 the thickness of a normal person’s arm.

The pistil extended and firmly grasped the dead man’s arm, stopping the opponent’s hacking action.

Moreover, the number of these stamens increased, constantly pouring out from Hua Yuan’s cracked face, spreading and entwining the body of the deceased, while also restricting the other hand.

A kind of full-body restraint is being achieved, and this power is completely different from Hua Yuan’s usual violations.

Right now,

Hua Yuan has turned into a [Human Flower]

The internal structure of the brain is completely exposed.
You can even see the origin of all the stamens, the flower-shaped pituitary gland hidden in the deepest part. This form is very dangerous. Once the pituitary gland is cut off, Hua Yuan will die on the spot.

and,

Even Hua Yuan himself hasn’t used this form for a long time and doesn’t like using it.

This is a form that requires cooperation from others, and is more of an auxiliary form. It is far less efficient in killing enemies than an invader.

When this gesture is shown,

Hua Yuan’s thoughts also went back to the past, recalling the rare happy scenes in her memory. At that time, she was only a few years old.

All the orphans were gathered together and told their dreams to the amiable director.

Dreams such as investigator, scientist, teacher, and boss account for 99% of the total.

When it was Hua Yuan’s turn, he gave a completely different answer.

≮Director, I want to open a flower shop when I grow up. That way, every child who comes to the orphanage can receive flowers from me, and I will also prepare the best bouquets for the director. ≯
however,
The invasion of death quickly dragged her back to reality.

Although the stamens wrapped around the dead body effectively restricted their movements, a breath of death was seeping out from under the dead body’s skin.

The stamens that were close to the skin surface had begun to wither on a large scale.

Hua Yuan knew very well that she couldn’t hold on for much longer.

Her throat was squeezed together.
She wanted to shout out a name.

Just then,
A heat wave hits.
At the same time, there came the same scorched earth light as Hell.

Luo Di, with red burn marks all over his body, had already come behind the dead man.

Before seeing the monster’s incarnation, Roddy would never use the trump card of [Open Spine].

Moreover, his back is not yet saturated. Once the back is opened, it will cause a huge burden on the body. It can only be used once. Once used here, even if the deceased is killed, it will be difficult to leave the island later.

but,

Rody has come up with another solution.

Just now, when he saw the dead man’s face pit, although he felt an unspeakable fear, it also gave Rody an inspiration to kill.

Since conventional massacre executions cannot cut into the opponent’s flesh,
That might be possible using another system that Rody already had, and he had absolute confidence that it could succeed.

【Before the meeting】

The torture chamber,
Rody is undergoing a painful training here that makes his life seem like years.

When his tolerance reaches its limit and his body will explode even a little more, he will get a little rest time, but only a few minutes.

During the break, Mr. Hawke gave a very important speech:
“Although pain has become your secondary system, I guess you still focus on felling trees.

You have to think outside the box. Intuitive kills are great, but extra seasoning might make them more delicious.

The pain I now give you,
It can not only be used to clear your mind, but also to make your brain clear again.

It can also be used to inflict damage on others, making your killing smoother and more comfortable, so that both systems can achieve common progress.”

“Why torture others beforehand when you can solve the problem with just one knife?”

In Rody’s concept, a true killer never tortures others, but instead respects his prey and kills them with one blow.

Mr. Hawke swung the hook in his hand,
“No, no, no… our Order’s suffering is often used to torture the weak.

But in all of Hell, whether it’s the Spinemen you belong to or the plague you met on the battlefield, none of them dare to provoke us.

Even though our group only occupies a small part, and the total number of people is less than one tenth of theirs, or even one percent. But we are equal to them in status, and are an indispensable puzzle piece of the real hell.

Because we have the skills to deal with the so-called strong ones.

When you face those strong ones who cannot be executed or chopped down, and even the butcher knife in your hand cannot cut into their flesh and blood.

Pain may help.

All matter can feel pain. Even those who are already dead and whose bodies have decayed will tremble, go mad, and scream as pain spreads.

Pain represents the most fundamental and violent collision of matter. Anything that is dormant will be awakened and become chaotic.

If you encounter an enemy that is difficult or impossible to kill, make good use of the ability I teach you to suffer.

Use your imagination as much as possible.

Use the root wire in your spine and arms to make the other person experience real pain, and try to give them the pain that transcends death.

Then you will experience the true joy of pain.”

……

imagination.

Rody has been observing this special dead person.
Darkness, death and coffin are the keywords of the opponent. The opponent’s face happens to be a deep pit structure, a dark structure, and a structure full of dead people.

Rody happened to have a torture instrument in his hand that could achieve “perfect restraint”.

Hua Yuan, to some extent, provided some inspiration for thinking and enough imagination.

With the help of the restraints provided by Hua Yuan, he stepped directly on the dead man’s back.

He stretched out his left arm, which was wrapped with wire and covered with burn marks.
Ignoring the danger and the fear in his heart, he placed his palm against the dark facial hole.

Before the breath of death is exhaled.

“Manufacturing of torture instruments”

A completely red-hot iron made of a large amount of melted iron wire was stuffed directly into the face of the deceased.

The light from the branding iron shone through the skull.

The scorching heat of hell burned the essence of the dead inside the face pit. The dead, who should have had no sense of touch and had long been out of the human body, actually began to tremble under the burning of hell.

It seemed as if it felt pain, a pain that could awaken death.

Light dispels darkness,

The high temperature burned the coffin.

The pain was communicated to the dead,
A violent and sharp scream immediately rang out from between the faces.

Pain is disintegrating the deceased from within…but it will take some time, and it is not something that can be easily eliminated.

The dead man’s body began to struggle violently, even attracting the darkness surrounding the forest.

This struggle caused a large number of withered stamens to break, freeing the body from the restraints.

“Oops!”

Arms free,

The black knife slashes,

With one strike, the flower in front of him was split in half! Fortunately, the face of the deceased was filled with branding iron, and the accuracy was deviated, so the pituitary gland between the faces could not be cut.

As long as the pituitary gland inside could not be cut off, Hua Yuan would hold on and try her best to restrict the opponent’s body with the remaining stamens.

Swish! Another horizontal slash came.

Hua Yuan was beheaded on the spot.

The lower half of his body turned into black water and was absorbed by the forest.

A large number of stamens were also cut off by the knife and fell off.

The remaining upper body of Hua Yuan fell to the ground, and the corners of her flesh and blood had closed, returning to her original appearance.

No fear,

Just a smile,

The third knife!

It went straight down and pierced Hua Yuan’s face.

It withered completely, and all the stamens disappeared with Hua Yuan’s death.

Also because of the time that Hua Yuan bought with his death,

The deceased’s head was covered with scorch marks, ashes were floating around, and the back of his head had been completely melted through by the cylindrical iron!
at last,

Beyond the pain of death!

The hellfire began to burn on the surface of the deceased’s coffin-like body, and his body structure was completely destroyed.

Even so,

The deceased still did not fall down and threw the young man on his back out.

Rody also landed steadily a few meters away, looking at the dead body whose whole body was burned by the branding iron with a firm look in his eyes.

Huh~ha~
Rody took a deep breath to calm himself down completely.

No ridge opening.
Just the most basic hell posture,
The pig’s head has turned into a butcher knife and is tightly held in his hand.

There are no extra tricks this time.

He started at the same time as the burning dead man and rushed towards each other!

The length of the black knife is far longer than that of a butcher knife. Even a raging fire cannot completely dispel the darkness in the forest.

but,

Under the illumination of the fire, the shape of the black knife was fixed and could not be extended, and the opponent’s movements became clearly visible.

Pituitary gland activated!
At the critical moment, the invisible spiritual finger on the back of Rody’s hand suddenly poked out.

Ding! The collision with the black knife in advance changed the opponent’s killing path, opening up a path for Rody to the final killing.

【cut】

The blade cut across the dead man’s head amid the burning flames.

The dead burned by hell are no longer as indestructible as before; the pain has destroyed their most fundamental body structure.

Half of the burning head flew into the air and turned into ashes.

The body of the deceased fell down heavily, without struggling any more.

Rody decisively retracted his back into his body, trying to conserve energy as much as possible, and sat down under a big tree several meters away to reduce his body movements.

Looking at the dead body that was almost burned to ashes.

It seemed as if deep within the dead there was a dark tentacle representing “black” that was completely burned away.

Then, Rody’s gaze shifted away from the dead body and looked at the completely withered remains of Huayuan.

suddenly,
A feeling of nausea came from within the body.

Although I have had this experience once and have been prepared, it is still extremely uncomfortable.

Oral lacerations,

Mucus secretion,

He slowly crawled out as if shrinking his bones and fell to the ground.

【Thought Transfer】

Hua Yuan had already transferred into Luo Di’s body just before his death.

Only this time it’s a little different.

She was unable to get up from the ground immediately. Her body was quite weak. She did not deliberately drain Rody, but only performed a minimal transfer of thoughts.

An intense feeling of weakness spread through both of them at the same time. They could only sit against the tree trunk and gasp for breath.

unable to speak,

Unable to make any movement,
Just trying my best to breathe.

But there was unconcealable joy in both of their eyes.

This seemed to be the most dangerous and powerful being they had ever defeated.

Even though this thing is not the incarnation of a monster, the joy of victory it brings is real, especially since Hua Yuan has not tasted such a hard-earned victory for a long time.

Half an hour later,
The breathing of both of them became slower.

With the flicking of their fingers, their bodies are slowly able to perform some of the most basic physical activities.

There is still no verbal communication, and talking would waste unnecessary energy.

They just tacitly raised the arm that was closer to each other and slapped their palms together…
