Bucky is so focused on the upcoming battle that he doesn’t have time to think about Roxanne and Mack. As a result, he urges them to leave while Blackheart and Lin Rui are fighting. Despite this, Bucky is unsure of what Blackheart is capable of, as Lin Rui had previously reminded him of angels who could control the elements of nature. However, the three of them fail to notice a puddle of sewage water that has appeared behind them.
“Okay! I’m leaving now!” Hearing Bucky’s words, Mack responds without hesitation and turns to leave.
Roxanne, having witnessed the intense and strange battle ahead, no longer questions Bucky and Lin Rui’s ident.i.ties and follows Mack to leave. However, just as Mack takes a few steps, he suddenly stops.
“What’s the matter? Mack?” Roxanne, who was following behind him, asked suspiciously when he saw Mack stop.
Mack, who stopped walking, slowly lowers his head and looks at his feet without responding to Roxanne. At this moment, he realizes that his front foot has stepped into a puddle of sewage water that is acting like glue and it won’t allow him to pull his leg out.
“My feet…it feels like something is pulling me in!” Mack says with a trembling voice as he failed to pull his feet out of the water.
“What?” At Mack’s words, both Roxanne and Bucky looked down at Mack’s feet.
Gulu Gulu!
As Bucky and Roxanne look down, they see the puddle of sewage water begin to flow and climb up Mack’s feet in a strange manner. This unsettling scene causes Mack, who is caught in it, to tremble in fear, and Bucky and Roxanne become frightened as well.
“Help me!!” The sewage water has now climbed up to Mack’s calves, causing him to cry out in fear.
Brush!
In response, Bucky quickly pulls out a tactical dagger from his waist and tries to slash at the climbing sewage water. However, no matter how sharp the dagger is, it is unable to cut through the flowing water and Bucky’s attack proves to be ineffective against it.
Gulu Gulu~
Bucky and Roxanne watched in surprise as the ma.s.s of living water suddenly wrapped around Mack, just like a boa constrictor would with its prey. Mack’s face turned red from being strangled and he was unable to speak.
“Go!” Realizing that Mack could not be rescued, Bucky decided to quickly pull Roxanne away.
At this moment, he had already guessed that the strange scene in front of them was probably caused by a fallen angel who could control natural elements, as the old man in the cemetery had mentioned.
Lee!
However, just as Bucky and Roxanne took a couple of steps back, they heard the sound of liquid slapping against the ground beneath their feet and the expressions on their faces immediately changed upon hearing this.
Gulu Gulu~
…
While Bucky and Roxanne were dealing with Wallow (the Demon of Water) in the corner, Lin Rui and Blackheart were still locked in an intense fight in the middle of the room.
However, Lin Rui seemed to be getting more and more comfortable with the fight as it progressed, it was as if he was an old blacksmith who had not struck iron in over a decade and was getting back into the swing of things.
Lin Rui had entered this state intentionally, allowing him to be more flexible and changeable in the way he used the internal energy in his body.
Boom!
With a loud boom, Lin Rui smashed Blackheart into the air with his baseball bat. He felt a surge of inexhaustible strength coursing through his body. On the other hand, Blackheart had strange abilities, but Lin Rui’s internal energy was able to block the invasion of h.e.l.l’s dark energy. As a result, Blackheart was getting worse and worse in the battle.
Whistling ~
“Hahaha! You are nothing more than that!!” Looking at the black mist flying in midair, Lin Rui shouted rudely with a baseball bat in his hand.
“Who the h.e.l.l are you?!” Blackheart was taken aback when he encountered Lin Rui, a powerful and strange enemy. He was extremely frustrated and angry.
.“Didn’t I say that at the beginning? I’m just a pa.s.serby who couldn’t stand you!” Lin Rui replied with a smile on his face when he heard Blackheart’s angry shout.
“Hmph! Do you really think you can stop me with your meager power?” Seeing Lin Rui’s arrogance, Blackheart, who was in the form of black mist, shrank down and revealed his human form.
“What are you talking about? Didn’t I just do that?” Lin Rui asked back, pretending to be puzzled.
“Look behind you.” Without answering Lin Rui’s question, Blackheart, who had completely transformed into a human form remarked with a cold look in his eyes.
The look in Lin Rui’s eyes changed instantly when he heard Blackheart’s words, and he already had a feeling that something bad had happened. So, while still keeping an eye on Blackheart, he quickly turned around and looked. He saw that Bucky, Roxanne, and Mack were all tangled up by Wallow (the Demon of Water), with running water constricting them. Mack was having difficulty breathing at this time, while Bucky, due to his physical fitness, was in better condition. However, Roxanne and Mack were already showing signs of hypoxia.
“Are you still going to stop me? I don’t mind, because my goal has already been achieved.” Blackheart’s voice sounded from behind Lin Rui as he turned around and saw that scene.
Whew! Shout!
Hearing the sound coming from behind him, Lin Rui swung his baseball bat, hitting Blackheart and causing him to turn into black mist, Blackheart floated to the side of Wallow (the Demon of Water) after being hit by Lin Rui.
“Let them go!” Lin Rui raised his baseball bat and pointed it at Blackheart as he reappeared in the human form beside Wallow (the Demon of Water)..
“Let them go? You think too highly of yourself! I originally just planned to capture this little beauty here, but seeing your strength, I think maybe I can have another helper this time,” Blackheart said with a cruel smile, on his face as he responded to Lin Rui’s low threat.
Blackheart had been unable to get the Contract of San Venganza from the old man in the cemetery, so he had no choice but to use Roxanne to threaten Johnny into asking the old man for it.
Now that Lin Rui and Bucky had gotten involved, Blackheart saw an opportunity to have another p.a.w.n to threaten with. He may even be able to use the strange and powerful young man in front of him to deal with his father.
“Listen to me, if you dare to hurt them, I promise I won’t let you go!” Lin Rui couldn’t make a move because Bucky and Roxanne were in the opponent’s hands, so he could only threaten Blackheart.
“Haha! Do you think these threats will work on me? Tell the Rider to go to the Gravekeeper and bring me the contract to San Venganza, I’ll be waiting there.” Blackheart sneered at Lin Rui’s threats and made it clear that he was not intimidated.
Hoo hoo!
With that, Blackheart turned into a cloud of black mist and enveloped the three people beside him.
