Endless Debt

The smell of murder penetrated each carriage. Although nothing happened, everyone felt the chill climbing up their spines.

An unnamed, instinctive fear is growing uncontrollably in your heart, like a forest completely swallowed by darkness. You are in it, countless, evil, deadly, and things that should not belong. The things of this world are crawling out of the shadows, the hooting of owls and the whistling of the cold wind caressing the dry branches of the trees.

The noisy sound quickly faded away, and everyone heard the bloodthirsty low roar and the damp muffled sound of sticky blood dripping on the ground.

The vibrations caused by its advance merged with the shaking of the carriage. The sharp claws gently pressed against the wall, drawing a pale scar on the metal, as well as the sharp sound that announced its arrival and continued to approach.

Something was coming, and it was moving toward the chessboard car from the rear of the car.

As if time had frozen, everyone's bodies stiffened and stood there for a long time, as if they did not sense the approaching threat.

Cinderella, who had always had a big heart, fell into panic under this violent rage. Fortunately, the trembling did not last long. She broke away from the fear and looked at the chessboard.

They can't see the invading enemy yet, but fortunately, everything that happens in reality will be reflected on the chessboard corresponding to reality.

A ferocious and tall chess piece appeared on the Dawn. This chess piece was dripping with blood. The twisted and exquisitely carved monster slowly moved its position. As it moved forward, the blood covered each carriage.

"The Dread Devourer."

Palmer recognized the monster represented by the chess piece. After hearing his words, Cinderella immediately looked through the rule book.

"The Terror Devourer, an elite monster unit," Cinderella read out its values ​​quickly, and then told about its own abilities. "This unit will regularly summon ordinary monsters, and it has a certain range of fear effects."

For the enemies who have fought against Boluogo and others, the effect of the Dread Devourer is very ordinary. Normally Boluogo can easily kill it with one shot of his iron spear, but it is different now. They have become the characters in the story. The hunter, instead of the condenser outside the story.

"Try to get rid of it from behind." Bologger took a deep breath and pulled out the long sword from the sword bag on his back. "Don't let it get close to the chessboard carriage."

"I'll go with you."

Palmer knows how powerful the enemy is. In a normal game, the Dread Devourer is an extremely difficult unit. If you are not careful, it will lead to the destruction of the team, not to mention that it can also summon ordinary monsters, leaving Bologg with a blow. It was a little too forced to go.

Canary picked up the crossbow and said, "I'll be with you too."

Bologg glanced at the two of them, raised his sword and pointed it at Canary, "You are with me, and Palmer stays here to avoid accidents."

Palmer didn't protest. After Canary was stunned for a short time, she also understood what Boluogo meant. There was a hint of disappointment in her expression, which was noticed by Boluogo.

Boluogo asked, "Canary, do you really think this is just a coincidence?"

Boluogo didn't mean to explain, and continued, "Palmer, I need you to take care of other people here. The two of them are real laymen."

Someone needs to stay to take care of Irwin and Cinderella, as well as protect the unconscious Hart.

"I'm with you," Aimu suggested. "You need a doctor."

"If we are injured, we will come back," Bologo said. "If the situation is bad, we will also seek help."

Boluogo quickly distributed the order, then he opened the door and walked with Canary towards the next car, preparing to meet the enemy.

In the fighting along the way, except for the chessboard carriage, layers of corpses and bloodstains had accumulated in other carriages. Even though Boluogo had deliberately cleaned them up, they still couldn't withstand the frequent attacks of monsters.

The blood gradually dried up and became sticky, and every time he took a step, the soles would bring up a dense layer of string. Boluogo felt very bad. Smelling the disgusting smell, he felt like he was walking in the digestive tract of a monster.

"Bologo!"

Before Bologg could go far, Palmer's shout came from behind, "It's coming!"

Palmer looked at the chess pieces on the chessboard. Suddenly, the Dread Devourer's chess piece started to move quickly, and it crashed straight into the chess piece representing Borogo. In order to warn Borogo, he could only yell at the top of his voice.

At the same time that Burlogo heard Palmer's shout, rapid and heavy footsteps sounded, not from behind the car door, but from above Burlogo's head.

It was like hailstones hitting the roof of the car. The dense sound made people's scalp numb. The gray-white and blood-stained claws were like intertwined sharp knives, easily tearing open the iron sheet on Bolog's head. The thickened armor did not hinder him at all. its destruction.

The strong wind carried the bloody blood and hit Boluogo's body, and then slashed down with sharp claws as strong as metal.

The sword blades intertwined, emitting a harsh sound. With the flash of sparks, Boluogo's whole body was almost slapped against the wall on one side. Sticky blood covered his whole body, as if he had just recovered from the stomach juice of a monster. Climbed out.

Boluogo saw the monster. No wonder it chose to launch a surprise attack from above. Judging from its tall figure, the carriage was a bit too narrow. The brutally growing muscles were covered with a dense, snake-like layer. Similar scales with a metallic sheen.

The Dread Devourer has no hands, instead there are sharp scythe blades growing out of its wrists, like the forelimbs of a mantis. The inside of the scythe is covered with serrations, and its back has a graceful and deadly arc.

The head, which had a face similar to that of a human but was larger and more ferocious than a human, roared at Boluogo, and its split mouth was filled with sharp teeth.

The canary shot a series of sharp arrows, but these arrows landed on the body of the Dread Devourer, only making a jingling sound, and then bounced off the strong scales.

The canary's attack has no effect on the Dread Eater, and the deadly scythe whips up a hurricane of death, leaving twisted scars on the steel.

Bologg rolled over nimbly, avoiding the slash. Then he stood up and swung his sword. The blade struck the Dread Eater, sparking a series of sparks, and the scales were damaged and cracked, but that was all. Bologg's It's also difficult to damage with a slash.

The Terror Devourer roared again, and each roar brought a shock to the soul. The huge wave of fear rolled up his and Canary's minds.

This had little impact on Boluogo. He had long been accustomed to fear after using the Aura of Horror for many years. The impact on Canary was more obvious. After the roar, her actions were sluggish.

"Get out of the way! Bologo!"

Palmer's roar sounded again, and Bologo picked up Canary by the waist, escaped from the car, then kicked open the side door and climbed onto the roof.

While the two were fleeing, Palmer pulled the trigger. Relying on the equipment advantage he had obtained previously, Palmer constructed a fierce rain of bullets. The bullets hit the body of the Dread Devourer, and the strong scale armor cloth Full of cracks, blood seeping from the gaps.

The powerful firepower temporarily contained the Dread Devourer's offensive. Its numerical strength exceeded the standard, but it was not completely invincible.

The fellow monsters rushed forward one after another, like human shields, sharing the firepower for the Dread Eater. The Dread Eater took advantage of the short gap to crawl out from the torn gap above his head. Palmer lost his target and cursed and moved his position.

Running wildly on the roof of the car, Canary shouted to Bologo, "Bologo, you are indeed a good expert."

Boluogo didn't understand why Canary was praising him at this time. He just heard her continue shouting, "But now the situation has changed! You are just a relatively strong mortal!"

"This is a damn team game!"

Boluogo probably understood what Canary meant. Just as he was about to say something sorry, the Terror Devourer climbed onto the roof of the car, and the spacious space allowed its terrifying figure to be fully stretched.

Two people can't stop it, even if Palmer is added, it will be difficult to stop it. If Hart is here, maybe they can deal with it, but now Hart is down.

"Ahead! Look at the front!"

Palmer leaned out of the car window, yelled at Burlogo, and tried to fire.

Boluogo looked into the distance and suddenly realized that this was a game after all. If he wanted to get out of the predicament, he had to make good use of all the game's mechanisms.

On the chessboard, Dawn has advanced to the edge of the wilderness. In front of it is a bridge built over a canyon.

Borlog doesn't have to kill the Dread Eater, he just needs to kick it off the game board.
