Crimson Overlord

Chapter 247 Massacre

Elliot went pale but he steeled himself up and he rushed towards the monster!

The monster stopped as its eyes flashed red. Elliot thought he got the jump on the monster when it disappeared in a wisp of black dou qi. It quickly flew in a certain direction.

"Running away?!"

Elliot followed the monster while emitting Icy blue origin meaning his attribute is Ice.

He threw a dagger at the runaway monster.

Swish

The dagger landed on the back of the dark qi-clad monster.

Clang!

The dagger only succeeded in marking sparks appear when it failed to pierce the monster's scaly hide. The monster continued escaping as it disappeared from Elliot'ssight.

"What a scary defense..."

Elliot is peak level 6 origin master, his dagger throw wasn't empowered by battle techniques or skills, however, it is enhanced by his dou qi and the dagger itself is a Rare Armament, it should have no trouble cutting through scales, yet it failed to even scratch the monster.

Elliot yelled out loud.

"Monster! Capture it!"

His loud yell echoed throughout the clan compound as soldiers clamored into action.

"Seize it!"

The calm compound immediately turned chaotic. The dark serene night got destroyed as the soldiers started converging on Elliot. With weapons ready, the guards charged here.

The monster's here!"

Came the shout of another soldier nearby.

"It's here! Here!"

"It's over here!"

The monster couldn't hide with so many eyes looking for it. Continuous sightings popped up.

Then, there were shrieks of pain, rallying cries, and pathetic sobs.

Meanwhile, Nemesis who sat on a high wall finally opened her eyes, they had regained their usual colors. She looked in a certain direction with heterochromia eyes.

Her body, rather, her blood started reacting to its nemesis.

"I knew it!"

She stood up and she disappeared in a flash.

"I am going to get you this time! Don't think you can escape a second time!"

"Argh... No!!!"

The latest victim's final words reverberated throughout the Camus clan compound. The soldiers saw the victim getting enveloped by dark qi the moment he confronted the monster with dark origin. It didn't take long for the victim to start moaning in agony.

The cocoon of dark origin with monster inside took its leave immediately. It looked like it was running away but a closer inspection would reveal that the monster is eerily familiar with the clan's layout. It was not escaping, the monster was hunting!

The victims that got enveloped by the dark origin all disappeared as they wailed in pain. The surrounding soldiers braced themselves as they rushed up to the dark origin cocoon. That resulted in more bones on the ground.

Then, the dark cocoon moved on to the next victims.

"Argh!"

"God, help me!"

"Save me!!!"

Three more soldiers died. The soldiers around the victims started shivering in fear, with pale faces, they lost the courage to assault the monster.

Elliot got here only to see bones, blood, and tremors in the area. The wails of soldiers who met their untimely end entered his ears. It was like a scene straight out of hell. He couldn't help but tremble.

Then, the monster within the dark origin cocoon came for him.

Elliot's pupil shrunk to pinpoints, the scene where a hulking monster draped in dark origin charged straight for him, which made him freeze in fear.

When the dark origin touched him, he was sure he would be reduced to a pile of bones just like the other soldiers.

BAM!

"Hiyaa!"

Elliot rallied himself and he channeled his dou qi to focus power in his daggers, he faced the incoming dark dou qi bundle.

Bam

When his daggers touched the dark origin, dull thuds came as the dark origin rippled. The weapons couldn't hold up for more than 1 second before they started cracking.

A rare armament broke!

The blood vessels in Elliot's hand ruptured as his face turned red from overexertion. It felt like he just got slammed with a mountain. His bones cracked and his origin energy almost collapsed. Soon, his weapons will most like be destroyed and he will be eaten by this monster in front of him.

"You vile monster, die!!!"

On the verge of despair, Elliot heard angry roars coming from all directions. Then, sounds of people flying here greeted his ears.

8 origin masters came to Elliot's aid. They attacked the cocoon made of dark origin with their weapons and magic attacks.

BAM!

A strong shockwave swept the surrounding area. This explosion came from the two opposing forces collided. The ground cracked, the walls also started crumbling. The 8 origin masters were all level 6 in power!

By sheer force, the 8 origin masters blew the dark origin cocoon away.

"Young master!"

One of the 8 origin masters helped Elliot to his feet, he was pale and his hands were shaking.

"Are you alright?"

"Y-yeah..."

Elliot shook his head. The cocoon of dark origin appeared to be relatively unharmed despite being attacked by the combined attacks of eight full-fledged Level 6 origin masters.

If the elites didn't gather in time, he would have lost his arms even if he kept his life.

The monster which almost killed Elliot in one hit and could take multiple hits from level 6 origin masters, the monster must be at least be at the top of the Level 5 origin master.

"Everyone."

Elliot ordered.

"Don't let it get away!"

"Be at ease, young master."

When the origin masters replied, the dark monster jumped up and it flew straight for the area with the least population density.

"Crap!"

"Don't let it get away!"

"You monster! Stop right now!"

The level 6 origin masters hollered. They channeled power to chase after the monster but a figure appeared seemingly out of thin air, surprising the fighters greatly.

The figure went straight after the monster that just escaped.

Elliot and the others couldn't get a good look at the new incomer, his eyes filled with vigilance. Whoever it is, this person must be powerful enough, confidant to show in the second powerful family's turf.

"Be careful!"
