Chapter 3571 Shadowbeard Is Determined
In a state of Burblo, the Ten Princes of Hell were invoked.
This was definitely the strongest combat power Nathan had ever unleashed.
In an instant, everyone was enveloped by Nathan's sword aura, causing their field of vision to distort.
Suddenly, the ground around them cracked open, and ten colossal demons emerged with a thunderous rumble. They were the legendary Ten Princes of Hell of Aploth. Ten colossal demons, all at once, raised their weapons, indiscriminately striking down at the seemingly insignificant God Warriors on the scene.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Thunder roared across the plain, and the earth trembled.
The God Warriors suffered heavy casualties.
Even Feralbone, Thornweaver, Valorax, and Carnifex all hastily defended themselves, only to be sent flying one after another in the end.
Especially for the slightly weaker Thornweaver, she was directly knocked back. As she fell, she spurted out a mouthful of blue blood, suffering severe injuries on the spot. Feralbone, Valorax, and Carnifex were injured to varying degrees.
After the explosion, all the surrounding trees had fallen, leaving a scene of utter chaos.
The dust kicked up into the air, lingering for a long time.
All around, the anguished cries of the wounded God Warriors filled the air.
Nathan, having used his Burblo to unleash such a powerful move forcefully, was now somewhat at his limit.
Hence, taking advantage of the chaos on the scene, while the Quartet War Pillars and the God Warriors were stunned, he swiftly moved forward. Then, under the cover of the pervasive dust, he hoisted the barely breathing Shadowbeard onto his back and made a quick escape.
However, it didn't take long for Feralbone and his group to realize that Nathan had run away.
Feralbone's face turned ashen. "He just used a combat technique similar to a berserk rampage. Such techniques often drastically overdraw the body's strength to achieve a sudden surge in combat power. After going berserk, all that remains is endless weakness. He must be at the end of his tether. Everyone, chase him down for me. We must catch him and kill him."
The other three War Pillars, along with numerous God Warriors, simultaneously responded, "Yes!"
After saying that, they dashed off in the direction Nathan had escaped.
Nathan, despite his growing exhaustion and weakness, carried the heavy Shadowbeard on his back. He struggled to navigate through the primeval forest.
On his back, Shadowbeard seemed to have a sudden resurgence of energy, his spirits surprisingly revitalized.
He was lying on Nathan's back, listening to the strained panting in his ear. He couldn't help but say, "Nathan, stop carrying me. If we continue like this, we're both going to die."
Nathan said in a deep voice, "We won't know until we try."
Seeing Nathan's stubbornness, Shadowbeard gritted his teeth and employed a technique similar to Thousandweight Plummet.
In an instant, Nathan felt the weight on his back becoming as heavy as a mountain, a weight he could no longer bear. Thud!
The two of them fell heavily.
Nathan struggled to his feet and fumed, "Did you do that?"
Shadowbeard also struggled to sit up, leaning against a towering tree.
He forced a smile and answered, "As I said, if we keep going like this, we'll both end up dead. It doesn't matter if I die. You are the chosen one, the son of the universe, and the natural enemy of the Gods. You cannot die. If you die, both vampires and
earthlings are doomed."
Nathan wore a serious expression. "Is there any point in discussing this now? We should focus on how to break out of this encirclement!" Shadowbeard chuckled. "I have a plan."
Nathan was stunned. "What?"
A flash of determination crossed Shadowbeard's eyes as he said in a deep voice, I'll sacrifice myself to help you but I have a request that you must promise me. If you ever defeat the Gods, you must not annihilate the vampires. I beg you to
show mercy to the vampires."
Upon hearing Shadowbeard speak in that manner, Nathan thought that Shadowbeard was planning to cover their retreat. Thus, he was just about to tell Shadowbeard that wasn't possible because of Shadowbeard's injuries. However, Shadowbeard made an unbelievable move before Nathan could speak.
Suddenly, Shadowbeard raised his hand and fiercely thrust it toward his own chest.
His body had already been ripped open by Carnifex in the battle.
With such a ruthless scoop, he actually managed to forcibly extract his massive heart.
"Ah!"
With a grotesque expression, Shadowbeard let out a horrific scream. Suddenly, exerting force in his hand, he crushed the heart directly.
A crimson core startlingly appeared in his hand afterward.
With his last qunce of strength, Shadowbeard handed over the crimson heart core in his hand to Nathan. He was struggling when he said to Nathan, "Swallow and merge with this heart core. It will take your power to the next level. Remember, please show mercy to the vampires in the future."
