Chapter 300 The Steel Steam Dragon's Decisive Strike
Evan looked at Burke Einhorn, who was constantly being attacked, but there was not a trace of smugness in his eyes.
Although he had long planned to kill Bock Einhorn, this action was forced upon him.
With the blessing of the City of Calamity, no hunter or witch can escape his eyes unless they are an angel.
From Petrov Andrei, who had secretly sided with Robert, Evan had long known that the Einhorn family was making unusual moves, and had long guessed that the Einhorn family would definitely send someone to kill the two brothers!
Therefore, Evan has been consciously traveling all over Backlund, searching for traces of the person in the shadows.
Persistence pays off. Evan soon discovered the "soldiers" controlled by the high-sequence "hunters," who were gathering intelligence about the Kingdom of Rune while investigating everything about Robert and Evan.
In order to mislead the Fussac Empire, Evan devoted a great deal of effort to sending out false information, while at the same time preparing to kill this "War Bishop" as a means for his future ascension.
To this end, Evan actively helped Mr. Azik gather the truth about his son's poisoning and actively introduced Collins to Robert's party, helping him to connect with Bernadette.
Evan's original plan was to take advantage of the chaos during the Backlund riots at the end of the year, and use the power of Mr. Collins, Mr. Azik, and Robert to kill Burke Einhorn and frame the Augustus family.
But the Speaker of Life's sudden proposal to cooperate with Robert disrupted his plans!
The Speaker of the Council of Life agreed to let Robert take the lead in contacting the Augustan royal family to discuss the expulsion of Ouroles.
Robert, acting as the middleman, can use this to complete the ritual of becoming a "Chaos Hunter"!
The difficulty of this plan lies in the fact that after expelling Ouro, the severely weakened Chairman of the Life Council will be in grave danger, facing the risk of being killed by the Augustus family.
Apart from him proposing it himself, no one else dared to propose it or persuade anyone to accept the plan!
Therefore, the Speaker of the Life Council took a great risk in providing this strong support; he was risking his life for Robert Bo's promotion opportunity!
If it weren't for the clear lineage and the fact that demigod-level extraordinary beings could discern it, Robert and Evan would have even suspected that the Speaker of Life had cheated on one of the Horn family's ancestors.
Then the Speaker of the Life Council explained his escape plan, which was to call in reinforcements!
The one being shaken is still Dante Einhorn, who owes him a debt of fate.
The fact that Bock Einhorn had come to the outskirts of Backlund could not be kept from the Life Council Chairman!
From his perspective, his arrival was perfectly timed, allowing him to draw upon Dante Einhorn's power at a crucial moment and help him escape his predicament!
It is believed that Dante Einhorn had certain considerations when he sent Burke Einhorn after learning of the civil war between the two archangels on the Fate Path in Backlund.
After all, being indebted to "fate" is not a pleasant thing!
For so many years, Dante Einhorn has tried every possible means and effort, but he has always missed out on the second "Conqueror's" extraordinary qualities.
It's always a low-probability event that happens at the last minute, causing all efforts to be in vain; the most typical example is the birth of Russell.
Roselle's ability to overthrow the Sauron family and accomplish the only feat in the history of the Fifth Age of a mortal to overthrow an angelic family was something that neither gods nor ordinary people could have imagined!
But that's exactly what happened, and it happened even after the coalition led by the Fusak Empire had already inflicted a major defeat on the main force of the Kingdom of Intis on the front lines!
Even more incredibly, after Roselle overthrew the Soren family, he created a republic unlike any other in the world, integrating various factions within Intis in the shortest possible time, defeating the Fussac Empire, and safeguarding Intis's sovereignty.
Over a thousand years of failures almost made Dante Einhorn question the meaning of life.
I feel that I was too hasty in incurring the debt of "fate" back then in order to obtain the "Conqueror" extraordinary trait from my nephew.
Therefore, they will not let go of any opportunity that can "resolve the debt of fate"!
After listening to the Life Speaker's explanation, Robert and Evan suddenly understood why the Life Speaker was so confident that they could escape from Augustus I on the Augustus family's home turf!
At the same time, they all selectively ignored the crucial role played by the Speaker of Life in the incident where Dante Einhorn betrayed the ancestor of the Horn family!
Regardless of the Speaker's stance back then, he is now clearly on their side.
In this situation, a mature person should let go of the past and look to the future.
The past is the past; only the present and the future matter. Look forward!
However, if the Life Council Chairman's plan succeeds, then Evan's plan will fail.
Because if Dante Einhorn is prepared to use this opportunity to settle accounts, then Burke Einhorn's existence will inevitably be exposed, and Evan's assassination plan will naturally fail.
Compared to his own plans, Robert's promotion was obviously more important, so Evan could only borrow some luck from the Speaker of Life and set up an ambush at the border between the two countries with Mr. Azik and Mr. Collins to try his luck!
As it turned out, the blessing of the Sequence 1 Archangel was quite effective, and they were indeed greeted by the arrival of Burke Einhorn.
Of course, Evan believed that it was because he came in person that he was able to use the Law of Convergence of Extraordinary Characteristics to attract it to a specific location!
With one side having prepared for a long time and the other completely unprepared, coupled with the disparity in strength between the two sides, it is not difficult to understand why Burke Einhorn was so easily defeated without any defense.
Soon, Burke Einhorn's "Dawn Armor" was blasted into a dull luster by Mr. Collins's war weapons.
This armor can't be blamed. It has lived up to its reputation by lasting so long, considering that none of its opponents this time were simple!
As the last rays of dawn faded from Burk Einhorn's body, Mr. Azik, who had been silent all along, suddenly turned his eyes back to pure white, continuing to lock onto Burk Einhorn in the mist, extinguishing any remaining life force within him.
At the same time, he slightly parted his lips and uttered one awkward, difficult, harsh, and completely incomprehensible word after another.
The words of the dead!
This is a language that can bypass the protection of a living being's flesh and blood and directly target the spirit.
It is a core ability of Sequence 7 'Spirit Sorcerer', and also an important means for 'Corpse Collector' to communicate with, command, and enslave spirits!
Having regained his 'Ferryman' power, Azik could have used it directly without even having to speak!
Now that he is using it himself, its power is naturally unimaginable.
Without the protection of the Dawn Armor, Burke Einhorn immediately felt his spirit being pulled by an illusory force, and translucent spirits appeared on the surface of his body!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Mr. Collins threw out a mechanical ball the size of a fist!
Its surface shimmers with a mysterious metallic luster and is engraved with countless intricate and mysterious symbols, as if it contains endless mysteries.
Just as the machine flew into the air, streaks of blue electricity, like nimble little snakes, swiftly slithered across its surface, emitting a "buzzing" sound.
Immediately afterwards, the mechanical ball began to expand at a speed visible to the naked eye, like an inflated balloon.
Its size continued to increase, gradually transforming from the size of a fist into a giant sphere. The metal shell constantly changed shape as it expanded, emitting creaking and groaning sounds, as if a steel behemoth was stretching its musculature.
Meanwhile, the mysterious giant cannons that had been besieging Burk Einhorn also leaped into the air and joined this transformation.
As the size continued to increase, thick mechanical limbs began to extend from the mechanical sphere, with dense, metallic scales continuously growing in layers.
In the blink of an eye, the mechanical sphere had completely transformed into a breathtaking steel dragon, its entire body adorned with suffocatingly large-caliber cannons, its head billowing with scorching steam, its massive form blotting out the sky, as if it had descended from mythology.
As soon as the mechanical dragon took shape, it opened its mouth to gather power and aimed at its target, with a faint white light emanating from its mouth.
Almost instantly, the white light transformed, becoming larger and more dazzling, like a miniature sun, so much so that the area within a ten-kilometer radius seemed to instantly jump from midnight to noon!
A blue-white breath shot out from the mouth of the steel dragon, becoming thinner and thinner until it was only the size of a bowl, as if it had gathered all the energy together!
That breath was like a laser weapon from a movie in Evan's past life, carrying world-destroying power.
Wherever it went, the air hissed, and the terrifying ray struck Burk Einhorn, who was immobilized by Mr. Azik's "Words of the Dead," successfully breaking through his body's defenses!
After the hunter ascended to become a demigod, his physical strength increased dramatically, and he was no longer the fragile warrior with high attack but low defense.
The Sequence 4 Predator can already turn its body into steel, allowing it to withstand the shelling from coastal defense artillery head-on, and the Sequence 3 War Bishop is even more powerful!
Just as the steel dragon's attack finally broke through the defenses, Evan, who had been observing from the sidelines as if he were superfluous, suddenly had a bright idea.
From Burke Einhorn, I saw the fatal weakness he had been waiting for!
Without a word, Evan directly used the power of "Bonaparte's Fortress" from back in Backlund. He stretched out his right hand and drew a flaming greatsword out of thin air. Then, using the flames around Burke Einhorn, he instantly appeared in front of him and plunged the sword into his chest.
The intense pain instantly brought Burk Einhorn to his senses, and he roared to the sky, to the point that even Mr. Azik's "Words of the Dead" could no longer control his spirit.
At the same time, a suffocating blue flame erupted from his entire body, instantly burning away all of Evan's clothes and revealing the exquisite gem necklace around his neck, as well as the illusory armor composed of flowing white light from the necklace!
The illusory armor released by the "Guardian" extraordinary item—the "Guardian of Radiance"—made with the "Guardian" extraordinary property, was clearly a level below the "Dawn Armor" made with the "Witcher" extraordinary property that Burke Einhorn wore.
Faced with the full force of the flames unleashed by the Sequence 3 'War Bishop', it shattered in less than a second.
Evan, scorched by the blue flames, seemed to be in purgatory.
The terrifying heat was like countless red-hot steel needles, piercing the body fiercely and bringing waves of excruciating pain that went deep into the bone marrow, making one wish for death.
Fortunately, "Bonaparte's Guardian" also granted Evan the "Iron Knight" transformation; otherwise, given Evan's current fragile physique, he might have been burned to ashes.
Only the steel-like body brought by the "Iron-Blooded Knight" and the fire resistance unique to the Hunter Path could allow Evan to maintain his human form under the terrifying blue flames that Burk Einhorn desperately unleashed!
Evan had anticipated his fate. Despite enduring unimaginable pain, he remained rational, even gritting his teeth until they broke without uttering a sound. Instead, he acted as if nothing had happened, raising his fist to strike the wound that had been reopened by the giant sword.
Use the Hunter's Path "Harvest" and the Witch's Path "Critical Strike" alternately.
One punch, two punches, three punches—Evan landed seven punches in a row, piercing through the wound on his chest. Only then did the blue flames emanating from Burke Einhorn's body disappear, and he fell backward!
But at this moment, Burke Einhorn was still not dead. He lay on the ground, looking at the flaming spear that had appeared in Evan's hand, his lips trembling slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't say it.
Before him stood Evan, whose hair had been burned off, leaving only a patch of black, irregular scorch marks, like a cursed wasteland.
The skin on his face was a horribly charred black, as if it had been soaked in ink, completely losing its original color. In some places, ugly blisters had swelled up, as if they were about to burst at any moment, oozing disgusting pus.
His lips were cracked like parched land, devoid of color, and the surrounding skin was charred and curled.
Large areas of the body's skin were charred, with some parts even carbonized, as if a light touch might cause black powder to fall off.
The muscles in his arms and legs twisted and deformed under the scorching heat of the flames, and the skin at his joints contracted tightly, revealing the pale bones beneath, as if silently telling what Evan had just gone through.
Even so, he still stood tall on the beach where the sand had turned to glass, spear in hand, ready to end the battle once and for all.
Seeing Burke Einhorn's lips move slightly, Evan seemed to understand what he wanted to ask. He forced a smile and spoke in a harsh, unpleasant voice, as if a steam engine that hadn't been properly maintained for years had just been put into use:
"Robert is preparing to advance to 'Chaos Hunter,' and this hunt was initiated by me; he didn't participate! As for me, I'm still a 'Conspirator,' not a demigod!"
With that, Evan lowered the flaming spear and plunged it into Burke Einhorn's gaping mouth.
Illuminated by the flames, his wide-open eyes remained open until his death.
