Overturned Tower

Delphinium looked up in a panic, but suddenly saw Russell's eyes became clear and cold.

"—she wouldn't say that."

Russell said word for word.

The illusion in front of him suddenly curled and dissipated like an old photo burned by flames.

Russell, who was almost re-solidified into a human form, was turned into ashes and flames again.

"Are you… insulting me?

"—Still, belittle her?!"

In the roar of Russell's furious lion, the hot wind that dries up everything around him seemed to come from the depths of hell, blowing around Russell as the center.

The tiny seeds hidden in the pink smoke were burned by the fire, and blossoming black flame cherry blossoms bloomed in the air.

Chapter 61 Ate You

Among the black cherry blossoms all over the sky, claws that were bigger and more terrifying than the previous sharp claws, burning with black flames, creaked out of the flames.

The sound was like an ancient tree uprooting its roots.

Just like in the illusion, Russell held the hand of Delphinium.

His ferocious karmic fire claws also tightly held the spears of the vines that pierced through him.

They were supposed to be plants, but now they made miserable squeaking noises, like scalded mice.

It wasn't burning—it was devouring.

Those vines were scorched, and gradually became dark and hard, and then gradually turned dark red like ashes.

"Bud Lovers" has a violent horror for it.

It let out an unexplained shriek, and gave up on the vines that touched Russell.

Numerous bright red juices gushed out from the fracture like fresh blood.Cutting off a part of himself makes it incredibly weak.

But it is correct.

The vines were slowly inhaled by the flame, making horrible crunching and chewing sounds.

Through the perspective of those vines, the "budding lovers" finally barely understood the nature of this flame——

The flame was not burning in the void, but like an alcohol cotton ball burning with flames.

In the flames, there is an indistinct mist.

Under the stimulation of strong emotions, it suddenly began to emit a dim yellow shimmer.

……What it is?

What monster is that? !

Just getting in touch with Russell's essence through "broken limbs" and through his abandoned body made the budding lovers feel a kind of fear from the source.

It made a high-pitched hiss that only demons could understand.

In that fierce and violent cry, it was full of hesitation, confusion and fear:

This... is this human?

How could this be human?

Impossible, absolutely impossible, never never never never deny, refuse, ah, ah, ah, ah——

On the other side, after swallowing a part of a complete and ancient demon, the appearance of Russell in the form of flames began to be further alienated from the initial posture.

Compared with the previous vertical pupil, there is one more vertical pupil—two vertical pupils like flowing liquid gold, which are Russell's only real organs that are exposed and related to the appearance of "Russell".

But that is not completely true, but a symbol of the re-condensation of the source of the holy order that was hammered into Russell's body with the forging of the final city.

He has a hideous appearance like a shadow demon——

With the continuous investment of "love", "hope", "mission", "reason" and other emotions that are "impurities" compared to anger, Russell's fire of anger has turned into pure black karmic fire.

Those flames burned his soul and formed his flesh and blood.It has no legs, and below the "heart" is nothingness composed of smoke.

And the dark red metal thorns roughly formed his bones and skin.

——It was the "Wedge of Pain" hatched from his body.

It failed to devour angels, but devoured demons—this made its appearance not holy and rational, but full of the chaotic distortion unique to demons.

Russell only felt that his consciousness became light.

Those scorching rational anger seemed to disappear in an instant.

It's like drinking too much, and it's like dreaming.He even stepped on the cotton, and everything in front of him was covered with an unreal filter.

Russell seemed to have come to the restaurant where he had his first meal with Delphinium.

Delphinium chuckled and sat opposite her.

Countless blue flames turned into flying birds, crashing into the "budding lovers" who wanted to escape, and dragging the demon, who was clearly in a state of chaos, into an independent space with only blue.

While still looking around.

— which forms one of the two roses in the "head," suddenly pierced by black thorns.

"Here, I'll give you this. It's the best meat."

With a happy smile on the corner of Delphinium's mouth, he held a piece of meat and handed it to Russell's mouth.

Russell swallowed the piece of meat in one gulp, chewing happily.

—— followed by another one, and then its whole body was densely pierced by steel thorns burning with black flames.It was exactly the same as when it penetrated Alice before.

The black flame burned and spread, and it let out a scream like a mouse.

"And this, try it too. It's rare to have such fresh meat."

Delphinium supported her chin with one hand, and picked up the roasted beef tongue with the other hand and fed it to Russell: "I'll eat it all for you, don't be angry."

"I'm not angry..."

Russell, who was being fed, only felt happiness, and said something inexplicably.

——The frightened demon tried to resist, but was nailed to the spine by endless pain.

It was dragged slowly and pulled into Russell's chest.

There was a scalp-numbing crunching sound.

"I can't eat anymore, I really can't eat anymore..."

Russell begged for mercy: "You can eat some too. I'm really full...or is this some kind of punishment game?"

"If you can't eat it, don't eat it. If you eat too much, it will hurt your body."

Delphinium chuckled.

The next moment, the illusion in front of him gradually faded away.

With the gradually subsided anger returning, Russell's consciousness became clear again.It's like someone who drank too much and suddenly sobered up, and was pulled back from a place far away from the world in an instant, and the things in the dream began to be quickly forgotten.

He noticed that he had turned back into a human body, only some black flames were still burning on his fingertips.

This should be the compensation for being completely irritated this time... The flame he summoned from his heart has already surpassed the scope of the "fire of the furnace".

For the first time, he had such serious, violent anger.Even Russell himself was taken aback.

He would have been angry too...

And the demon who was still imprisoned in the ultramarine barrier of the "caged bird" had only a broken thorn left.

The two roses on its head have been completely burned, have lost their vitality, and gradually began to dissipate on the ground.

—but for some reason, it gave Russell a sense of "relief."

Russell, who was inexplicably relieved, glanced at it indifferently.

And the demon curled up in fear, letting out a groaning sound.

In order to prevent it from harming the new host, Russell has been standing in the enchantment of the caged bird.

After the demon completely dissipated and turned into ashes, he revoked the enchantment of the caged bird.

The entire villa has been smoked to pitch black.All furniture and collections are scrapped.

Even those gardens disappeared, and the surviving neighbors had already woken up and fled in fear.

Only Russell was left alone, standing in this huge villa that had been turned into ruins.

...the incident is now resolved.

But a subtle nausea, as if eating durian, still remained between Russell's lips and teeth.

And at this time, the God's Vessel, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly appeared behind Russell again with a smile in the form of Alice.

"I thought you would want to imitate it. After all, its psychic power is really strong."

"Don't make this kind of joke, it's a little disgusting."

Russell sighed: "I can, but I don't want to...

"I really can't have such a selfish love. It makes me feel sick... Just thinking about it makes me feel sick. No, it seems to be really sick..."

"Have you eaten your stomach?"

"Tsk... there is something wrong with the dinner I bought on a bad day."

Under the setting sun, the clouds burn like fire.

Russell was alone, talking to himself, and went away bustlingly: "I have to punch him hard when I go back."

There was no door in this villa anymore, so he could only find another place to rush back.

He failed to capture the demon alive, so it seemed that this month's bonus would have to be reimbursed again.

——But perhaps, it would be a better result if this kind of psychic power is not used by the company.

The most gratifying news for Delphinium is that the innocent girl who was controlled by psionic energy to jump off the building will no longer appear.

When you get back, tell her the good news at her bedside.

Chapter 62 Sweet as Honey

Only one suspected demon report was used, but two demons were found——

Although Russell failed to capture any of them, he was still commended by the board of directors considering that the "bud lover" is a demon that has completed hatching.

Delphinium is still the Minister of Special Operations, while Russell has been officially promoted to Deputy Minister and concurrently Minister of Operations.

——The whole process was full of a sense of urgency to rush the ducks to the shelves.

It seemed as if the shit shovel officer was grabbing Russell's ear and yelling at him, "Don't touch it, go to work, it's time to work overtime".

"Russell" didn't dare to laugh and laugh, so he had to be promoted miserably.Then run to the office.

There is one thing to say, as a cat, catching mice is indeed his job.

This is mainly used to solve the problem that the executive department has no leader after the inferior disappears.

So far, Tianen Group still hasn't sent anyone to hunt down the inferior.Even if the efficiency is low, it is impossible to react so slowly... So Russell realized that this was the board's acquiescence to the departure of the inferior.

He left voluntarily...without poaching anyone or bringing any bad press to the company—reciprocated, and the company chose not to pursue him.

While not doing things absolutely, it also gives the inferior a chance to repent and come back to admit their mistakes.

After all, the essential reason why the executive department has no leader is actually because the inferiors are too social animals...

After all, even the most powerful candlelight will still become dim under the light of stars and moons.After the inferior person took away all the most difficult tasks, it made it impossible for others to obtain any conspicuous achievements.

Of course, according to Russell's understanding of the character of the inferior, maybe he did it on purpose.

As a matter of course, Delphinium, who didn't wake up, still didn't come to work.

Russell had prepared an excuse for her to ask for leave in advance, but to his regret, but also felt quite reasonable, no one came to check on Delphinium's arrival.

—But Russell couldn't say anything about the delphinium, because he didn't actually go either.

It was the vessel of God who went to work for Russell.
