Chapter 273 – Unstoppable!

Taufman sensed that the beast beneath him suddenly underwent a drastic change in its emotions. Its head began to shake rapidly, and even hotter breath spewed out from its mouth and nose, sweeping towards the top of its head. The surrounding blood mist started to recede, and its whiskers began to flick, desperately wanting to eliminate the threat on its head.

"Is the formation ready?" Taufman shouted to Zimal.

"Not yet!"

Zimal shouted back. The basic formation had been set up, but the materials needed to enhance the effectiveness of the formation had not been fully embedded yet, which would greatly affect the destructive power after the formation was activated.

"There's no time, let's start!"

Taufman erected a barrier of light around his body and grabbed Elder Zimal's shoulder, pulling him down from the top of Dolong's head.

If they didn't leave now, it wouldn't just be that the explosion would be less powerful than expected, but the formation they had set up would also be destroyed. Taufman alone was powerless to resist Dolong, who was now almost going mad.

After being grabbed by Taufman and thrown out, Elder Zimal immediately activated the formation.

In an instant,

A violent red beam of light exploded from the top of Dolong's head!

"Boom!"

Taufman and Zimal, who hadn't managed to get a safe distance away, were directly thrown out by the force of the explosion. When they landed, Taufman gritted his teeth and activated the power of the Dark Moon, a red light appeared behind him, pulling Elder Zimal up with him, and finally intentionally letting his back hit the ground first.

"Bang!"

Both of them fell to the ground, completely overturned.

Taufman was covered in blood, and he didn't know how many bones in his body had been broken. Zimal's injuries were relatively minor, but he couldn't help but look at Taufman while gasping for breath.

"Taufman, you..."

"After this is resolved, you can report me."

"No, you've misunderstood, I won't..."

Zimal immediately explained.

At this moment, a roar came.

Under the intense explosion, Dolong's neck was blown down, and its steps finally came to a halt.

...

"Did it work?" Ophelia looked hopeful.

"It should have." Karun agreed, although he wasn't so optimistic.

"Heh, how is that possible."

A strange voice appeared above the two.

Ophelia and Karun immediately looked up, and in the next moment, Ophelia's figure instantly soared into the air and slashed down towards the person.

Karun hesitated. Last time, he really thought the captain had lost his way, so he didn't hesitate to attack him. The final sword was aimed at the captain's heart.

But this time, Karun wouldn't believe that the captain had lost his way again, so he naturally lost the impulse to attack.

On one side was Ophelia, on the other was the captain. He couldn't help either of them.

The captain dodged several of Ophelia's attacks in a row. He seemed uninterested in attacking Ophelia and instead smiled, "If I were you, I wouldn't start a fight now."

"Unfortunately, I'm not you." Ophelia swung her sword again.

The captain conjured a sword of light in his hand, blocking Ophelia's sword, and then quickly retreated. When Ophelia prepared to chase after him, the captain's retreating figure suddenly disappeared and reappeared behind Ophelia.

Ophelia quickly retracted her sword and turned to defend herself.

But the captain didn't choose to sneak attack, instead, he retreated again.

Seeing this, Karun could only flash to the captain's retreating position and prepare to intercept.

The captain seemed to take care of Karun intentionally. His retreating figure quickly pulled forward, colliding with Ophelia again. The two swords clashed more than ten times, and Ophelia calmly responded, enduring it all.

"Ah, you've improved a lot since our last fight."

At this moment, Karun approached again and began to chant.

"Ah."

The captain sighed and shot out a dazzling white light, forcing Ophelia's attacks back. Then his figure disappeared, and Karun used the Order Cage to bid him farewell.

But the captain left behind a puppet doll in his place. The two puppet dolls that the captain had obtained from Judge Luke had all been pierced by Ophelia's sword during their battle on the Shediao Island. This puppet doll was obviously a bit rough, and it should have been made by the captain himself. Its appearance was somewhat ugly, but at this moment, it transformed into the captain's illusion. As for the captain himself, he had already moved far enough away and disappeared without a trace.

In essence, the captain's strength had an absolute advantage over Ophelia. Coupled with Karun's lack of contribution, the captain could leave or stay with ease.

Ophelia raised her sword, ready to pierce the puppet doll on the ground.

"Wait, he seems to want to say something." Karun spoke up.

Ophelia stopped her sword and didn't continue to strike."You are much smarter than this little girl. Hehe, you are indeed the new body I originally chose. Although there is still a lingering smell of the Bellner bloodline on you."

The captain's phantom formed by the doll spoke.

"If it wasn't for Miss Pall's mark in your body protecting you at a critical moment, I would have hesitated even more. Maybe I would have successfully taken over your body by now. Sigh, this body is really damaged, even the skin is gone."

Karun couldn't help but laugh and cry. The captain still didn't forget to patch him up.

He knew why the captain appeared here. After watching the show alone and enjoying his solitude, he now needed to share.

That's where the captain found his joy.

Many things he said before, which seemed like jokes, were actually not jokes because he had always been practicing them.

"Can you control it?" Ophelia asked.

"I can barely control it," the captain replied.

"Phileas, I know the hatred in your heart, but many of the people on Darkmoon Island are ordinary people, not all of them have the Darkmoon bloodline. Your revenge can be directed at me, at the palace, at us, the descendants of Bellner. Most of the people in the town are innocent."

The captain's phantom looked at Ophelia and said, "My revenge is too narrow-minded. Besides, have you ever seen revenge accompanied by reason?"

"The people in the town are innocent," Karun added with a meaningless remark, "They are pitiful."

"I know they are pitiful, but what about me and my followers back then? We have contributed so much to the development of this island. In the end, what did we get?

Betrayal,

Killing,

Humiliation!"

"Roar!"

In the distance, a roar came. Dolons, who had stopped moving due to the explosion in its head, raised its head again, and its huge body began to move again.

The efforts of the elders of Darkmoon Island did not achieve ultimate success.

Seeing this scene, Ophelia anxiously said, "I am the next candidate for the chief of the Darkmoon tribe. If Mr. Phileas can stop the destruction of the town now, I can commit suicide in front of you."

The captain laughed, "You can commit suicide, it's up to you. I will only be satisfied if you die."

"Ophelia, don't do anything foolish," Karun comforted, "That giant beast cannot enter the town."

"Little girl, you are indeed different from your ancestor Bellner. I also believe that what you just said was sincere. But I'm sorry, I can't fulfill your request because I would be at a loss. As for you..."

The captain pointed at Karun and continued:

"I know that the people from the Order of the Gods are on the island now, but since I dared to summon Dolons, do you really think my revenge is just a meaningless vent?

Let me tell you, I don't like doing meaningless things."

Karun was a little confused for a moment. He no longer believed that the captain would lose his way, but he felt that the captain was somewhat influenced by Phileas. Also, what did the captain mean by his previous words?

Even if the Order of the Gods took action, they couldn't stop Dolons?

Ophelia clenched her sword again. She knew that Phileas' true body should be nearby, although she couldn't sense it. But she had to do something, she couldn't continue to stay here and talk nonsense with this puppet projection.

But how could the captain allow his audience to leave early? He couldn't tolerate his own joy weakening at this moment.

He said, "You better stay here now, don't go anywhere. Do you remember the insects you swallowed last time? I have placed dozens of nests on this island. Believe me, if you leave here now, I will immediately detonate those nests."

"You..."

In the end, Ophelia could only continue to stand in place.

Karun knew that the captain didn't have those insects in his hands, but he still couldn't understand how the captain would continue to do things that had no meaning.

The captain's phantom looked at Karun and said, "Have you ever experienced the joy of revenge?"

"I don't know."

"Is that so? You don't know. Then observe me now. I hope you can understand. This is for the sake of Miss Pall's face and your education."

As he spoke, the captain's phantom spread his arms and then, with a "bang," tightly clenched his hands, mimicking the action of firing a gun. He even imitated the sound effect:

"Bang!"

At this moment, Dolons had already advanced to the front of the Darkmoon Legion, and the legion began to fire cannons. However, all of these magical shells were blocked by the blood mist in front of Dolons. Although it looked magnificent, it didn't have any substantial effect.

"Prepare for battle!"The warriors in the legion picked up their weapons and welcomed the arrival of the giant beast.

Dorongsi raised his neck, his throat turning red. Then, he leaned his head forward, opened his mouth, and spewed out scorching hot and terrifying lava towards the legion blocking his way.

The massive pillar of magma directly cut through the middle of the army formation, melting the warriors who were hit along with their armor. The nearby burned warriors lay on the ground, howling in pain.

Although the army formation did not collapse directly, it was clear to anyone with discerning eyes that after this round of attack, it was already on the verge of collapse. They were just waiting for Dorongsi's massive body to crush them, and they might have to abandon their weapons and flee immediately.

...

"The army formation is set up, but there is no three-dimensional defense arrangement," Bishop Rodina spoke up.

She was one of the three representatives from the Knights Templar. If the Order of the Gods was compared to a country, she would be the representative of the military.

Archbishop Klered slightly opened his eyes and beckoned to the kneeling chief of the Darkmoon Clan, Vina.

Vina immediately stood up and walked over, then knelt in front of Archbishop Klered.

"The quality of the Darkmoon Island's army is really not good."

Actually, Vina could explain that the legion blocking Dorongsi was temporarily gathered from various places on the island. They had not undergone training and were not soldiers used in a frontal battlefield. However, Vina did not explain because he had already understood the meaning. He said:

"You're right. We have also realized this problem a long time ago. Originally, I planned to personally request your help in organizing and training the army after the meeting."

Archbishop Klered did not speak, but Bishop Rodina next to him said, "Yes, the navy of Darkmoon Island also needs to be reorganized. Only then can it assume the responsibility of defending this sea area."

Although it was a matter of the army on the shore, it was now involved with the navy.

The true strongest force of Darkmoon Island was its offshore fleet.

But Vina did not hesitate. Although he believed that the Order of the Gods would not sit idly by and let Dorongsi destroy the town, he was more aware that the Order was now finding an excuse to take control of the military power of Darkmoon Island. He could refuse, but in the future, the Order of the Gods might not even need an excuse.

"Yes, you're right. The defense capability of Darkmoon Island is indeed too weak. We urgently need the help of the Order."

"Okay." Archbishop Klered finally spoke again. "Rodina, since Chief Vina has already made the request on behalf of Darkmoon Island, you can stay on the island to help them organize their defense."

"Yes, Your Excellency." Bishop Rodina immediately saluted and accepted the order.

Then, she looked at Chief Vina and said, "Order your legion to retreat. They can't stop that giant beast. Persisting will only cause more fearless casualties. I don't want to waste time recruiting new soldiers later."

"Yes, I will immediately pass on the order to them."

...

When Dorongsi's massive body pushed forward, the Darkmoon Legion received the order to retreat and evade. All the warriors fled to the sides without any delay.

Dorongsi did not pay any attention to them and charged straight towards the last hill. Beyond this hill was the town!

At this moment, a black throne appeared above, extremely massive and full of majesty. It was about to block Dorongsi's path.

Finally, the Order of the Gods made a move.

...

Ophelia let out a sigh of relief, her figure slightly swaying. She believed that when the Order made a move, even a powerful beast like Dorongsi would not be able to advance any further.

Karun's gaze fell on the shadow of the captain. Everyone had actually anticipated this scene, but where did the captain's confidence come from?

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

The captain smacked his lips and said:

"Dorongsi, let them see your true appearance."

...

When the massive Order Throne appeared in the sky, it should have meant that this sudden situation was finally coming to an end.

In addition to the Order Throne, the Order of the Gods had prepared two large-scale formations. At the same time, a chief bishop had already selected the Order Whip Squad to replicate what Taffman and the others had failed to accomplish.

This was the last line of defense, but it was also the most desperate line of defense for the giant beast.

However, at this moment, Dorongsi's body suddenly began to change. Its head aged, its body started to decay, and cracks appeared on its back shell.

As for the water pool in the center of the shell, the originally azure water turned dark and foul-smelling.

A strong aura of death enveloped the entire body of the giant beast, and large black spots started to appear on its body.

Taffman and Elder Zemal on the shell exchanged a glance, both revealing a hint of shock in their eyes.Elder Zimar's hands began to tremble, and a tremendous sense of terror left him speechless.

Tafman collapsed on the ground, propping his forehead with his hand, murmuring:

"So, this is why Philius wanted to seal Dorons?"

...

"Because Dorons was nearing the end of its life, it was dying."

The captain's phantom said,

"Its racial talent could grant it the ability to hibernate. I helped it complete its self-sealing and hibernation. It said it hoped to see how prosperous and beautiful Darkmoon Island, which we had built together, had become a hundred years later.

Even if it was to die after just one glance."

Karun spoke up: "So, it has been accumulating a terrifying aura of death inside its body."

"Yes, exactly. Also, I cultivated the curse worm from the fleas on Dorons. Guess how many worm eggs are inside Dorons now?"

Shock flashed in Karun's eyes. Despite being mentally prepared, he hadn't expected things to turn out this way.

Because this meant that the massive beast was now a huge and terrifying source of contamination!

If it were to burst open, or be blown open by external forces, the terrifying contamination would instantly cover most of Darkmoon Island. Not to mention how many people on the island would die, the island would no longer be habitable after enduring such a large-scale contamination.

The Throne of Order in the sky stopped descending at this moment. Clearly, the Order Church also understood the change in the situation.

Dorons was now a huge abscess, ready to burst and spill its pus.

But if they were to suppress it with the Throne of Order or other formations now, it would be like forcibly squeezing it, causing even greater destruction.

Bishop Rodina said: "Stop the attack, and focus on evacuating the crowd."

...

The captain's phantom laughed and cried at the same time:

"This was my purpose in waking it up. This was what I promised it. I and the descendants of Berna would wake it up more than a hundred years later, let it see the scenery of the island before it dies, let it see how beautiful the place where the light blooms again is.

But obviously, Berna didn't dare to write this in his diary, haha..."

The captain raised his arms and roared:

"Dorons, can you see it now? Can you see it?"

"Roar!"

Dorons let out an angry roar. The Throne of Order above did not continue to descend, and the other formations did not activate. Dorons broke through the hill in front of it, broke through the last line of defense blocking it, and its feet finally stepped into the edge of the town.

A gruesome scene was about to unfold.

But at this moment, Dorons stopped.

It raised its head and let out a mournful howl at the sky.

Ophelia, seeing this, subconsciously asked:

"What's wrong with it?"

The captain lowered his arms,

Bowed his head,

And replied:

"It can't bear to."
