quicksilver blood

Chapter 256
As Roland said, he withdrew the divine power of the Eternal Sleeping Mentor who surrounded him.

The silver thorn pattern on his forehead instantly melted away and submerged into Roland's skin again.The silver light that shone in the surrounding space gradually dissipated, and darkness poured out from the corner again, submerging this small space again.

As a result, everything before Roland's eyes turned into darkness again.

However, for Roland, whose perception has exceeded [-] points, vision is no longer an irreplaceable existence.Everything around began to form a transparent frame in Roland's mind.

pat.

Like throwing silt on the ground, a sticky and greasy sound sounded.

"Edward", which was blocked by ice thorns, melted away with a click, and sticky and flexible tentacles like snakes emerged from the mud.

It seemed that he was still wary of Roland, or that Roland was mentally prepared—Edward did not rush over directly at the beginning, but stretched out a slender tentacle the size of chopsticks to tentatively wrap around Roland's right wrist .

Anyway, vision has been blocked by darkness, so Roland simply closed his eyes to strengthen his other senses.

He could clearly feel a cold and slippery feeling slipping away from the back of his right hand.

Roland subconsciously tensed his right arm.A light layer of silver-gray runes flashed across Roland's skin piecemeal.

The tentacle seemed to have been struck by electricity, and with a snapping sound, it was thrown out suddenly, and it froze in the air, and it took about three or four seconds for it to recover.

Similar to the outline of Edward's upper body, but ten times smaller, a miniature figure emerged from the tip of the tentacle.

He spread his hands and whispered with utter malice, "Your Excellency Roland, relax a little..."

"That way I can't touch you at all."

A shrill, obnoxiously synthesized sound emanated from the tip of that tentacle.

It was a tone similar to Edward's, but sharp and rough, reminiscent of the noise of fingernails on glass.

But Roland just said indifferently: "Come again. I couldn't control it just now... Sorry, it was my fault for underestimating how disgusting you are."

"……Ha ha."

Edward smiled lowly, shook his head and submerged into the large group of shapeless tentacles again.

The next moment, the tentacle stopped hesitating and wrapped itself around Roland's wrist.

At first it seemed to let Roland get used to it, and it stayed on Roland's wrist for a while.

"This feeling... did you climb up from the sea?"

Roland laughed in a low voice.

He's not exaggerating at all.

The touch of the adult Enemy of Kabbalah can be described as aquatic.However, unlike its shape, although it has the adsorption force of octopus tentacles, it is much smoother than octopus tentacles—in terms of the surface layer, it is closer to catfish.

What made Roland more reminiscent of catfish was that there was a layer of slippery mucus on the tentacles.

As it stayed on Roland's right hand, the cold and viscous mucus that was constantly secreted gradually spread evenly on the back of Roland's hand, and fell to the ground tick-tock.

Then, one, two... more and more tentacles came up from Roland's right wrist.The smooth tentacles slowly tightened, and Roland frowned unconsciously.

"You bastard...unexpectedly disgusting."

Roland exclaimed.

However, Edward did not respond.

In just a moment, Roland's right arm bound to the cross was swallowed whole by dozens of tentacles.Not only is the wrist restrained, but the forearm to the upper arm is also restrained together.

The next moment, Roland felt a very slight tingling from the fingertips of his right index finger and middle finger.It felt like being sprayed with a wonderful painkiller spray and then being blown up by a hospital blood collection needle.

...So it turns out that this mucus has an analgesic effect?

Roland immediately understood.

"Let me say yes to Edward first, don't crawl around. Otherwise, I'll just chant prayers and kill you."

"...What is random crawling? Give me some range."

There was also a bit of helplessness in the sharp synthetic voice.

"First of all, don't dirty my hair," Roland showed an impatient expression as he felt the fingers of his right hand that were somewhat swollen due to the excessive blood pouring into it in a short period of time and the right arm that had been poked open three times. , "You might as well come in directly from the heart. Then pump it to my whole body with the beating of the heart."

Hearing this, "Edward" stopped wriggling for a moment.

It seemed to finally realize something was wrong from Roland's tone.

"Are you afraid?"

Roland's tone was full of disdain.

"Indeed." After a pause for a few seconds, the sharp synthetic voice sounded again, "I was wondering if you would suddenly chant a prayer when I merged with you. If that happens, it would be very troublesome for me to run away."

"If that's the case, I can't live."

Roland said angrily: "You came in from my heart. If you feel a crisis, you can manipulate your blood to burst my heart in an instant—you can always do this kind of thing."

"……All right."

Although he felt some uneasiness, "Edward" still chose to act according to the instinct in his heart.

What about the Chosen Ones of the Holy One?The possession effect of the Enemy of Kabbalah is absolute, as long as it is a pure-blooded human being, even the Pope of the Holy One will dare to occupy it.

Just as Roland said - after it enters Roland's heart, no matter what Roland does, it can no longer affect it.That was the plan.

However, in order to prevent Roland from getting vigilant, it originally planned to quickly and gradually fill up Roland's whole body with its tentacles, and first use the part of blood that entered Roland's body to occupy the heart.

Since Roland is so confident in letting it occupy his heart, then he is not welcome——

The next moment, Roland could feel needles leaving his fingertips.

Then, like a snake, a large number of tentacles poured in from Roland's sleeve very quickly.Roland felt steel nails as thick as little fingers piercing his chest and abdomen. A large amount of cold liquid was poured into his body, and his body temperature began to drop extremely rapidly.

After that, Roland's consciousness began to blur.His limbs gradually became numb, cold and weak.

As a large number of tentacles poured in, Roland's skin was suddenly stretched high, and something seemed to be wriggling inside.

But the tightness of the robe only lasted for a moment, and then Roland's sleeping embrace slowly deflated at a speed visible to the naked eye, and completely returned to calm in the 15 seconds after the last sentence was spoken.

Roland's face was almost strangely calm.

The wound on his right hand where the enemy of Kabbalah had bitten left a dark red mark.But the silver-gray light gradually covered it, hiding it little by little.

If there was a third person looking at Roland at this time, Roland would probably be frightened.

Starting from Roland's heart, a large lava-like dark red scar appeared radially near Roland's heart, then disappeared, and then reappeared - the frequency was like a heartbeat.

At the same time, silver-gray runes flashed on Roland's body in random order.It feels like the light spots left by a mechanical keyboard with flashing keys when people type quickly.

However, as long as you stare at it for a while, you can see that there are fewer and fewer dark red scars on Roland's body, while there are more and more silver-gray runes.

This wordless stillness lasted for nearly ten seconds.Afterwards, Roland's face showed a trace of painful struggle.

"you are not……"

The hoarse voice stopped abruptly as soon as it came out of Roland's throat.

Roland twitched suddenly as if being shocked by an electric shock, shook his body, and lowered his head heavily.

Then, when Roland raised his head again, a smile was already on the corner of his mouth.

"Ah, yes. I'm not a pure-blooded human... I'm a half-elf."

Roland coughed twice, then raised his head, with some kind of light in his eyes.

At this moment, a giant mouth suddenly emerged from the dark Eternal Sleep Embrace, biting Roland's neck.

Gudong Gudong, the sound of swallowing blood came faintly in the darkness.

"If I'm not wrong, An Ruosi didn't mention this matter when he traded with you from the very beginning, right? Sorry, I won this round."

The next moment, the Sleeping Embrace, which was full of blood, began to slowly transform.

Sharp pitch-black spikes pierced from the activated Eternal Sleep Embrace, cutting off the two thick hemp ropes that trapped Roland at the same time.

Then, Roland squatted down and put his right hand on the shackles.Silver sparks shot out from between his fingers.

And his left hand practiced jogging in the air, opening the [Plague Nest] that he hadn't used since obtaining it.
