However, Alvin's surprised expression quickly turned into anger. How could his painstakingly cultivated corpse creature be so easily defeated by a young man? He sneered and flicked his fingers again, causing a more intense blue flame to instantly ignite at his fingertips.
Meanwhile, in the bloody space, the woman in the red robe still held the hairpin in her hands, looking dejected. Suddenly, the flames on her chest, which had been slowly weakening, burst into a bright flame! The woman in the red robe seemed to be in great pain, howling as her body contorted violently. The hairpin in her hand slipped from her grasp and fell to the ground.
Immediately after, the blue flame spread throughout her body, causing her to appear as if she had just been pulled out of blood, with crimson blood dripping continuously. The smell of blood was extremely foul, similar to the rotting smell of a zombie. David's heart tightened instantly, knowing that her corpse creature aura had erupted. As a result, she would enter a state of full-blown eighth-level corpse creature mode.
Indeed, under the lingering stench, the woman in the red robe mechanically raised her head, her already torn eye sockets filled with blood, her pupils and eyeballs blending into a single blood-red color. The wide sleeves of her robe kept trembling, oozing black blood. As the blood flowed to the ground, a white smoke rose immediately, accompanied by a sizzling burning sound.
The woman in the red robe stared at David and slowly uttered a word before transforming into a mist of blood and rushing toward David. David frowned and immediately picked up the alloy short knife from the ground while opening a portal. In the instant the blood mist approached, he swiftly leaped into the portal, traversing to another direction. However, as soon as he landed, the blood mist reversed direction and continued to charge at him.
David quickly took out a high-explosive grenade from the warehouse system, pulled the pin, and decisively threw it towards the blood mist. "Boom!" A violent explosion sound instantly resounded! The blood mist was scattered by the blast of the grenade, but it quickly recondensed and charged at David once again.
"Wow, even a high-explosive grenade doesn't work!" David said in a deep voice. He relied on the gilded defensive layer on his body and wielded his dual blades, charging forward.
In the blink of an eye, David collided with the blood mist formed by the woman in the red robe. David first attempted to disperse it with a mid-air strike. But as soon as the alloy short knife touched the blood mist, it automatically dispersed, only to recondense as soon as David retracted the knife, surrounding him in the middle.
Feeling the putrid and rotten smell around him, David simply sheathed his dual blades and began pounding the blood mist with his fists, one punch after another. Immediately, David's punches took effect, smashing the blood mist into pieces. However, it quickly recondensed again, like an indestructible cockroach. This left David feeling somewhat helpless.
Meanwhile, outside the bloody space, Sophie guarded Sally, Arnold, and Duke, anxiously looking at the tightly sealed space. Charles, who had activated his ability, floated in mid-air, surrounded by a string of dazzling starry galaxies. After a moment, he landed on the ground and shook his head, "No, I can't see what's happening inside at all."
Charles had initially wanted to use his Stargazer ability to glimpse the situation inside the bloody space, but this space was particularly mysterious. No matter how he traced and speculated, he couldn't catch even a glimpse of it. This made him, usually calm and composed, somewhat anxious.
Currently, the only members of the team with combat capability were David, Sophie, and the three of them. They didn't know what was happening with David now, and if something unexpected happened to him, their Embers squad would be in serious trouble...
Charles dared not continue thinking further, so now he could only pin his hopes on David.
On the other side, Shirley stared at the huge bloody space on the screen with a puzzled expression. She felt as if it had appeared out of thin air, trapping the man and the woman in the red robe inside. This instantly made her feel nervous.
At this moment, Duane pushed open the door and returned to the base. Seeing the captain's return, Shirley quickly recounted what had just happened to him. After listening, Duane quickly looked at the screen and immediately saw the massive bloody space. His eyebrows furrowed at once.
Although he had only met David briefly, he already considered him to be someone like himself. Now that David was in danger, he couldn't stand idly by.
He quickly said to Shirley, "Stay in the base, I'll be right back." With that, he prepared to rush to the street where David was.
Shirley followed suit, and Duane reluctantly had no choice but to bring her along. David continued to smash the blood mist with his fists. Every punch was a full-force strike, but even so, the blood mist didn't diminish much.
So David took out Mandy from his pocket. After biting his finger, he dripped his own blood onto her. Instantly, Mandy began to swell. Without waiting for David's command, she rushed directly at the blood mist and quickly engaged in battle with it.
David finally had a moment to catch his breath. He scrutinized the changes in the blood mist while pondering the situation with the woman in the red robe. He noticed that the strength of the flame on her chest seemed to control her consciousness. If the flame was intense, her corpse creature consciousness would overwhelm her normal consciousness, turning her into a state of rage. In order to control the blood mist, they needed to control the flame on the woman's chest. And now, the goal was to make the woman in the red robe revert to her original form, only then would there be a chance to deal with the flame.
So David looked at the butterfly hairpin that had fallen to the ground. He walked over and picked it up, feeling the warmth from the woman's touch still lingering on it. David held up the butterfly hairpin and said to the mass of blood mist, "Your hairpin is with me. Don't you want it?"
Upon hearing David's words, the blood mist immediately stopped in mid-air, and Mandy's fists also froze, tilting her head as she observed it.
Then, the blood mist quickly transformed back into the form of the woman in the red robe. She looked at the hairpin in David's hand, her face filled with anxiety, and said, "Quickly return my hairpin to me."
David didn't immediately return the hairpin to the woman in the red robe. Instead, he looked at her and said, "Let me put it on for you, like your father did." With that, David slowly walked up to the woman in the red robe, enduring the putrid smell of decay, and reached out to place the hairpin on her forehead.
