BXBX NOVEL Chapter 551 The Battle Of The Holy Island (7)
Eli dealt the last blow to the leader of the scientist. One may find her actions stupid for the scientist might have given them a lot of information about the Spectre.
But to Eli, it was useless.
Eli and Kayden only needed to find the reason why they were doing this, not the matters that they have done.
They have already seen and witnessed so many abominable things this group of people did, and so she felt that her heart could no longer take it should she know of all the atrocities they did while fulfilling their own agenda.
"Whew! Finally, they are gone!" Wisey heaved a great sigh of relief as soon as the last opponent fell. Now they were free to explore the room that was revealed under the stone bed.
"Now we only have to figure out how to open the mechanism once again." Eli looked at the stone bed, the pathway was no longer there, and the lever mechanism as well.
Without delaying any further, Eli moved and went to the original position of the latch instead.
The area where the lever appeared became as smooth as a marble once again, not even a bump could be seen.
"Do you have any ideas?" Eli frowned and looked at Wisey.
She was the one who first noticed the appearance of the lever, so as the way that the scientist deactivated the switch earlier. Eli was hoping that Wisey would have any clues to make the lever appear again.
While the two were figuring out how to open the passageway, The battle upstairs was now reaching its final struggle.
With just a mere appearance of the torrential rain, the desperate situation of the righteous side completely turned around!
Now they were the ones who were chasing the terrified cursed users to death.
Rashnu and Uriel were also on their wit's end. Now sporting a bloodied and injured appearance, their faces were full of hatred and frustration.
"D*mn that paladin!" Rashnu spat the blood in his mouth and cursed at Eli in anger.
'If not for her intervention this matter could have been done earlier! Now she did not even dare to show her face, but she caused such a mess!" Uriel could not help but complain as well.
They themselves knew for a fact that Rachana, the 'paladin' was not the true paladin. In fact, they were hunting the paladin before the rumors of war appeared.
And because the war is slowly turning inevitable, they had to stop their search and come to the temple to regroup.
Who would have known that the very person they were searching for was actually well hidden within the vicinity and even pushed them far into the deadly corners?
"Enough of the whining, your limbs were still intact yet the two of you were already crying?" Gabriel swung his spear and joined Abaddon in an offensive stance.
Earlier, he already had one arm and could not even properly wield his weapon. But even so, he did not even blame his miserable state on someone like Rashnu and Uriel.
"Let's end this… the day is no longer young." Abaddon reminded Gabriel as he held his sword valiantly.
The two looked at their enemies with determination as they rushed forward to attack.
Boom boom boom!
Heavy blows one after another, the battlefield shook at the intensity of the waves that their clash had been releasing.
Abaddon and Gabriel joined forces, their attacks were tightly coordinated as they were already familiar with each other.
In contrast, Rashnu and Uriel were like rogue wolves struggling to fight a pack. Although they were trying to be as coordinated as possible, their lack of familiarity with each other cost them a disadvantage in the fight.
On the other side, Ecanus is also in a stalemate against Kayden.
It could have been said that the person in front of him had the talents and wits to kill the enemy, but too bad, a person like him could not be defeated by Kayden's poison and tricks.
But when the torrential rain appeared, he suddenly felt weaker than the rest when they were using their curse power.
He had long observed the situation and could not help but frown in doubt. Uriel, Rashnu, and the other comrades could still use their curse power in the midst of the torrential rain, although its power was clearly weakened several times.
However, his case is undoubtedly strange.
That is because he could not use his curse power at all!
Whenever he would try to channel his curse power in his body, there would be a violent wave of mana eating his curse power so painfully that he felt that his internal organs and mana receptors could burst.
This in turn made him so confused and frustrated. Could it be that the torrential rain had a special effect on his body?
However, he had no time to think through things because Kayden seemed to have taken this window of weakness to beat him in the battle.
"Tsk!" Escanor had no choice but to abandon the thought of using his curse power. In the end, he could only use his devourers' powers and deploy all the magical tools and paper spells in his possession.
Bang! Woosh! Bang!
Kayden used his spells continuously, forcing Ecanus to retreat further and further.
Seeing the confusion and panic in his expression, a subtle smile appeared on Kayden's face as he told Ecanus.
"Do you know why your body suddenly turned like this?"
Hearing Kayden's question, Ecanus' body jolted for a while, which was enough for Kayden to seize the opportunity and give him a solid blow in the chest.
"Puff!" Ecanus only felt his ribs being crushed to pieces as he rolled on the ground in agony and pain. It was just a split-second carelessness yet it got the best of him!
"Torrential rain and my special poison are made perfectly for each other.
The combination of these two factors would force a cursed user to totally drop the idea of using it during a battle. Don't you think that this combination is powerful?" Kayden looked at the injured Ecanus with a cold expression.
"Y-you… h-how.." The pain in his broken ribs made Ecanus no longer let him speak comfortably, and so he could only utter two words.
Kayden, of course, did not plan to tell him about his relationship with the one who triggered the torrential rain. Eli and he had been developing an upgraded cure potion that not only saves the victims of the curse users but also completely counters the curse user at the moment.
Unfortunately, two of them could only postpone the test because of the war and they almost forgot the matter they made back then.
Moreover, they did not have any opportunity to test the efficacy of the potion because there was no curse user access to them at the time and Eli could not arbitrarily reveal her paladin powers.
In the end, he only remembered about it the moment he realized that the torrential rain was triggered by Eli.
As a doctor, Kayden clearly saw that Ecanus could no longer make it, and so he slowly squatted in front of him and said.
"It is good that you are here. I would never even imagine that the efficacy of this potion would be so effective."
Ecanus glared at him with hatred. He was deeply unwilling to end like this! He was even more unwilling when he realized that he was made into a guinea pig by the man whom he belittled earlier.
"Struggle no more, for the pain, would intensify if you insist on being angry," Kayden warned.
But Ecanus looked like he was still cursing Kayden and Eli at the back of his mind. This made Kayden extremely displeased and so he stretched out his hand and touched a part of the other party's chest while saying,
"You know, your ribs have been broken into exactly thirty-nine pieces and each of them was scattered in a position that pokes your vital organs…"
Then he gently pressed the spot on Ecanus' chest. The next second Ecanus' agonizing wail rang in the battlefield.
"That is your left lung being stabbed by three stacks of bone fragments." Kayden coldly said.
Then he poked another spot around Ecanus's abdomen. Ecanus's shout of pain rang one again
"That is your right kidney being stabbed."
"That is your spleen bursting from four bone fragments."
"That should be your liver…"
"...your pancreas…"
Kayden did not stop until all of the reachable vital organs had been stabbed by the scattered rib bones in Ecanus' body.
The pain that Ecanus endured made him cry and his eyes finally showed a sign of fear and regret. If he could open his mouth this time, he would have definitely begged Kayden for mercy and quick death.
Seeing this, Kayden seemed to have been satisfied and so the very last internal organ that remained intact within the area was finally poked.
"Finally that's your heart. Go and receive your punishment in hell."
