Chapter 457: Chapter 289: Final Battle (Part 2)
Three-sided encirclement!
At this moment, the allied forces gained the upper hand.
Unfortunately, the good situation didn’t last long as a sudden change occurred.
In an instant, the sky seemed to be torn apart by an angry giant hand, the whole sky sank into an inky abyss.
A colossal giant shadow over twenty meters tall slowly rose, it was not a creature but an existence born from anger itself.
Its bones were entwined with fury, its body wrapped in blood vines, anger blossoms like pulses exploded and bloomed on its spine and head, lava-like red light seeped from its body, illuminating the entire battlefield.
And on the giant’s shoulder, a figure stood tall, like a king judging all things.
He was draped in vine armor, a cloak of burning anger blossoms trailing behind him, his crown of thorns crawling like a blood crown over his head, seeming no longer mortal but the ruler resonating with this land of fury.
Titus Frost Fierce.
He did not speak, but the flames began to respond.
The angry red light poured down from the giant’s body, like a raging tide sweeping across the battlefield.
Every beam of light was a seed of fury.
The Barbarian Race corpses trembled and squirmed under the call of the flame, skin cracked, flesh swollen, and tendons twitched and entwined like ropes.
Angry vines burst from their chests and wrapped around limbs and broken bones, forming mindless, pure murder-driven angry vines, dashing towards the knight defense line that hadn’t retreated yet!
Meanwhile, the Barbarian Soldiers who hadn’t died yet, those already near their limits, lost control completely under the angry red glow.
Their muscles swelled and tore through armor, teeth transformed into fangs, and eye sockets leaked liquid anger as red blood.
Their bones filled with fury, they howled like ignited beasts, wielding heavy weapons to tear through the knights’ shield formations and knock cavalry horses flying!
“Watch out!!!”
A centurion of the Silver Teeth Army shouted, but before he could raise his shield for defense, he was hit by a berserker Barbarian Soldier, his heavy armor chest caving into a vortex, flesh and armor exploding together!
The Broken Blade Army’s line was fragmented and pierced by angry vine corpses, two young knights stood back to back defending a passage.
One was caught by angry vines around the ankle, dragged into the corpse pile, and before his scream erupted, was bitten through his helmet by a vine flower of the dead, blood sprayed several feet!
The other retreated in terror, his spear trembling, only to be pierced in the throat from behind by a fallen comrade, eyes empty, no longer human.
The battlefield cracked open like Hell.
Battle flags burned in the angry tide, knights fled, fought, and roared among their dead comrades.
The battlefield was like a pot about to boil, vines entangled, angry blossoms grew wildly, and crimson mist suffused the air, suffocating.
Just as despair was about to swallow morale, Duke Edmund’s silhouette stood firm as a mountain at the front line.
His blood armor stained red, his giant hammer lowered, yet his voice was strong: “Silver Teeth, Broken Blade hold the wings! Cold Iron Knight Order, follow me… execute the king!”
Unless Titus was struck down, the pulse of fury would rain down like storms, with no way for the allied forces to resist!
Edmund understood this, so he must kill the source first.
Thus, the strongest heavy armored knight order of the Northern Territory charged towards Titus.
Knights formed a wedge formation, following the Duke through the center front, plunging into a death jungle woven of angry vines, corpse walls, and blood pools!
Every ten steps forward, a High-tier Knight would fall from their warhorse, entangled by red vines, dragged into the bloody mud.
But one’s sacrifice would certainly bring down dozens of Barbarian Soldiers.
Edmund charged in front, closely followed by thirty-seven Transcendent Knights, all war generals who had survived various bloody battles in the Northern Territory.
The Angry Crown Giant roared, shaking the sky, swinging all four arms, launching a storm of vine whips!
A young knight was swept into the air on the spot, his flesh exploded, his corpse swallowed by angry blossoms.
“Don’t stop! Keep pressing on!!” Edmund roared, eyes bloodshot, breaking through the formation first.
He then let out a sudden shout, his fighting energy exploded, fierce brilliance released under thick battle armor.
“War Gravity!”
A star-heavy aura erupted, the Angry Crown Giant’s massive head suddenly turned, eyes filled with angry blossoms deadlocked on him.
In the next moment, the giant charged with a roar!
“Ha ahhhh——!”
Edmund did not dodge; he drove his warhorse at full speed, meeting the enemy head-on!
“Boom!!”
The heavy hammer clashed directly with the vine-laden giant arm, blue fighting energy burst instantaneously, air twisted like boiling water!
A resounding crack of bones, the giant’s entire arm shattered amidst the sonic boom!
Edmund’s silhouette borrowed force to leap out, like a meteor passing through the angry blossoms!
Meanwhile, the back Transcendent Knights pressed forward, displaying their bloodline talents!
“Flame Spirit Assault!”
A spear of scarlet flame thundered to the ground, piercing the giant’s knee tendon, exploding with a spray of angry blood and scorched vines!
“Wind Fang Six-Strike!”
Two silver shadows slashed out six wind blades in succession, fiercely tearing open the vine chest armor, revealing the blood-red core inside!
“Thunder Impact!”
On the other side, a knight charged forward, brandishing a heavy sword, thrusting it fiercely to pierce the core’s center.
With a “crack,” the entire flower of rage exploded in an instant!
The Angry Crown Giant howled as it staggered backward, its massive form swaying.
A seasoned Broken Blade Knight gritted his teeth and roared, igniting several Magic Explosion Bullets at his waist.
He leaped up, engulfed in fury, and charged into the giant’s throat!
“Boom!!”
Like heavenly thunder crashing to the ground, a fiery mushroom cloud erupted from the giant’s throat, consuming half the field of vision in a scorching light!
The giant wailed as it fell backward, its colossal body crashing down upon the garden of furious flowers, petals swirling and a mist of blood surging.
And Titus’s body, like a puppet with its strings cut, plummeted from the shoulder of the falling Angry Crown Giant, crashing heavily into the blood-stained snow in the center of the battlefield.
The dull impact seemed to shake the entire canyon, with crimson vine threads and shattered furious petals filling the air like a bizarrely blooming funeral.
At that moment, everyone thought he was dead.
But in the very next second, the earth began to writhe.
“…Something’s wrong!”
A knight was about to step forward to confirm when his eyes suddenly widened in shock.
The ground where Titus fell trembled like a living creature, with scalding red vine veins spreading from the cracks, pulsating like a heartbeat and swelling into a writhing platform of flesh.
Shhhhhh—!!
Dozens of upside-down bloodvines crazily surged from the ground, lifting the “corpse” high into the air!
This was no self-rescue, it was a sacrifice!
Titus’s body convulsed violently in the air, his helmet shattering, his eyes long since burst by the furious flowers, vine threads frantically bursting forth from his mouth and nose.
His body cracked open inch by inch, twisted and reshaped, as vines pierced through joints and tore muscles, reconstructing him into an eerie existence.
Titus’s consciousness was long extinguished, and now this remnant body was merely a vessel controlled by rage.
He was no longer Titus Frost Fierce.
He was the embodiment of the Burning Pain Vine Court!
He slowly spread his arms, the furious vines extending like tentacles across the battlefield, the domain of flesh silently forming, a new Hell opening.
In the next moment, red mist erupted like a tidal wave from his body, engulfing the battlefield!
“Cover your mouth and nose! Quickly!!”
The knight shouted, but it was too late.
This wasn’t ordinary red mist, but concentrated anger released after burning countless wills’ blood.
Even with special masks and bitter medicine, they couldn’t withstand the mental assault mixed in this rage.
It was a madness that penetrated the marrow, a pollution that transcended the flesh and directly targeted the soul!
“Aaaahhhh!!”
A Transcendent Knight suddenly clutched his head and knelt, his eyeballs turning red, tears of blood gushing. His battle armor was pierced by furious vines, and in his eyes, rage burned. In the next second, he swung his sword at his own lieutenant!
“We… cannot lose…”
Another Cold Iron Knight gritted his teeth, his spear trembling, but ultimately couldn’t resist the fiery rage whispering in his ears, losing all reason and charging at his comrades.
One after another.
Even Edmund felt the heavy weight pressing upon his spirit.
Was this defeat?
He felt an unprecedented sense of helplessness, his thoughts quickly swallowed by chaos.
But at that very moment!
“Boom!!!”
A loud explosion shattered the deathly silence!
Amidst the red mist, a gust of wind tore through the fog.
It was a crisp, cold fragrance, like the scent of flowers and leaves in early spring’s morning light, bringing sudden clarity!
Edmond’s consciousness seemed to be yanked back by a giant hand.
He suddenly opened his eyes, his breathing rapid, his blood vessels pounding fiercely.
“This scent… is…?”
He turned his head and saw, on a high slope at one end of the canyon, a red flag like fire flapping valiantly in the wind!
