Dog shit! My flames had no effect on him at all. I must find a way to escape. At least, at least I have to pass the message here to the captain.
For a moment, a tragic emotion spread through Danitz's chest.
He gritted his teeth, quickly made a decision, then knelt on one knee, pressing his hands to the ground.
Scarlet fire light rose, starting from his palms, two swift flames spread forward, forming a wall of raging fire in front of him.
It completely blocked "Steel" Maveti and the wind and snow he summoned.
He didn't expect this raging wall of fire to stop "Steel" Maveti's advance, but he still extended his spirituality as much as possible, making the flames burn more fiercely.
As long as it could obstruct his vision. As soon as the thought crossed his mind, he suddenly stood up, pushed his hands forward again, and scarlet fire crows condensed one by one.
He allocated a bit of spirituality to each fire crow, so that they could still be controlled to a certain extent after leaving his body.
These fire crows flew around the raging wall of fire, flying towards the door.
His danger intuition warned him again, and Danitz lunged to the side.
At the same time, a gap was suddenly torn in the wall of fire in front of him, and a bone-chilling cold wind brushed past his body, carrying a rotting smell that made him shiver uncontrollably.
The next moment, a figure, blurred by its speed, rushed out of the fire wall and charged towards Danitz.
Danitz, due to the previous tremor, failed to completely dodge the attack, and a huge impact struck his chest.
Intense pain instantly filled his brain, followed by a cold numbness that made his flesh stiff, as if even his thoughts had slowed down.
His body flew backward. He could clearly feel his chest being torn, and a bone-chilling, numbing cold was spreading.
Bang!
Danitz's body was slammed against the cabinet behind him, directly shattering the wooden cabinet door, and his entire body sank into it.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Violent explosions sounded behind Maveti, flashing a scarlet fire light.
This was Danitz relying on added spirituality and structural changes to mix several time bombs into the fire crows.
He couldn't be sure if Old Lynn was threatened by "Iron", or if he had betrayed, or perhaps both.
Fortunately, this place was very close to the port. As long as enough commotion was made, it would quickly be discovered and attract the attention of the Punishers.
As long as I can hold back "Iron", I can successfully escape and pass the message here to the captain.
The next moment, a layer of flames burned on Danitz's body, dispelling the cold effect on him.
Losing the numbness brought by the cold, the intense pain in his chest clearly transmitted to his mind. Hiss~ Why does it hurt so much! My internal organs seem to have been pierced by that blow just now.
Danitz gritted his teeth and stood up, turning over. He charged directly towards Maveti, the flames on his body constantly surging, his expression ferocious as he tried to perish together with the opponent.
There was undisguised malice in Maveti's eyes. He looked at Danitz, who was preparing to fight him to the death, with a slightly ferocious expression. A Pyromaniac, even if he fully burned his little flame, wouldn't have any effective impact on me.
Scarlet-to-white fire light condensed in Danitz's right hand, and then a fire ball the size of a washbasin, with a brilliant white center and scarlet edges, was thrown out by him, his body, burning with a layer of flames, followed closely behind.
A layer of white frost appeared on Maveti's body, and the surrounding temperature instantly became cold.
He suddenly extended his right hand, layers of white frost emerged, eventually turning into a transparent layer of ice. He directly punched the incoming fire ball and Danitz behind the fire ball.
The next moment, he felt his hand being held by Danitz, and a little scalding heat penetrated the barrier of white frost, invading his arm.
"Hmph~" He suddenly exerted force and flung Danitz away.
He saw Danitz, covered in fire, use his momentum to twist his body and crash into the nearby window.
"Damn it!"
Then another scarlet flame directly plastered itself onto his face.
Bang! Crash!
A heavy thud and the sound of breaking glass rang out.
Maveti didn't hesitate. His figure suddenly blurred, quickly disappearing like an afterimage. This was an illusion caused by excessive speed.
His body shot out like a cannonball, and the window, which already had a gaping hole, was directly blasted away.
In the shadows beneath the window, suppressed gasps sounded, then weakened, gradually fading away, with only a few drops of crimson blood scattered on the floor.
In less than half a minute, Maveti's figure suddenly crashed back into the room. His gaze was fixed on the bloodstains beneath the window, the malice in his eyes flowing like a tangible substance.
"...Mystical Item."
Maveti mumbled in a hoarse voice.
Then he squatted down, extended a finger of his right hand, rubbed it on the bloodstains on the floor, then put his finger into his mouth and licked it. Wisps of black, mist-like threads exhaled from his mouth and nose.
He suddenly stood up, wiggled his nose slightly, then found a direction and violently burst out of the door.
In an inconspicuous corner of the dock warehouse area, the shadows writhed, and Danitz's figure, clad in a black cloak, emerged from within.
Gusts of salty sea breeze blew, covering the smell of blood on him.
Damn it! Why isn't this heavy rain falling yet? Without the cover of the heavy rain, "Iron" will soon catch up to me by following my scent.
Gehrman Sparrow, I need to find that mad adventurer. Only he isn't afraid of the threat from "Iron." Perhaps, he might even help me deliver the message to the captain, considering our previous acquaintance.
As his thoughts churned, Danitz felt that the intermittent pain in his chest and abdomen was no longer as intense as before, but his head began to feel dizzy.
No, I have to hold on. At least, at least I can't collapse here. He gritted his teeth, and following his memory of Bayam, he quickly moved through various alleys and streets, places with strong scents, approaching the Seafront Road where Gehrman Sparrow had gone.
The sea breeze gradually intensified, and the slender leaves along the roadside swayed, making Danitz feel as if he could be knocked unconscious by a falling leaf at any moment.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
He ran forward with all his might, already somewhat exhausted, his steps inevitably becoming messy, and the scene before his eyes was already swaying.
Dog shit! Why is Gehrman Sparrow walking so fast? If I can't catch up to him, I'll collapse on the side of the street before "Iron" catches me... 3000 pounds reward, I wonder which lucky bastard it will benefit.
Just as he felt he couldn't hold on any longer, he saw Gehrman Sparrow standing at the corner. He had never felt that refined yet deeply insane face so endearing.
This gave him a momentary sense of relaxation and peace.
Plop!
Danitz's legs gave out, and he fell backward, his hands, which had been covering his chest and abdomen, dropped weakly, revealing a gruesome, exaggerated wound that showed his internal organs.
Danitz saw Gehrman Sparrow squat down beside him and, ignoring everything else, quickly blurted out the message he wanted to convey to the captain:
"Tell the captain, Old Lynn has been discovered. "Steel" Maveti, someone is investigating the Golden Dream, for, for that treasure!"
Klein recalled the bounty amount for "Steel" Maveti and asked in return:
"Admiral of Blood?"
Is this guy a survivor from the Tree of Flesh and Blood? For treasure? No, it should be the power behind Admiral of Blood investigating the cause of the Tree of Flesh and Blood incident.
"Yes, tell the captain, tell the captain!"
Danitz didn't have the energy to pay attention to what Klein was thinking. He gasped and urged.
Having said the main point, he showed a sorrowful smile:
"Don't mind me, I'm almost, almost dead."
"Tell the captain, the money I saved, it all turned into, turned into real estate, on Bayam's Fragrant Tree Avenue. The proof documents are hidden, hidden in the wall of basement number 13. Help me sell it, help me sell it..."
"Take the money to, to Nosier Town in southern Intis, give it to my, my parents, tell, tell them I, I really got rich..."
Danitz paused, gasping for a while before continuing with difficulty:
"Tell them I, I became an excellent, an excellent adventurer."
"And... say, say, I'm sorry..."
Memories of his youth seemed to flash before his eyes, and his eyes suddenly became moist. Is this the final surge of vitality before death?
Just then, he saw Gehrman Sparrow reach out and press his hand onto his wound, then wipe outwards.
Danitz stared blankly at Klein. Klein maintained Gehrman Sparrow's persona, quietly looking at him. For nearly two seconds, no one spoke.
Finally, Danitz looked down with suspicion and astonishment. He found that his fatal wound had miraculously healed, while his left arm, which had not been injured, was now a bloody mess, with bone protruding.
I, I'm fine? ...Danitz blinked, still somewhat immersed in the sadness and despair of being on the verge of death just now.
"Why didn't you, heal me first?" he asked somewhat dumbfounded.
Klein looked back at the other side of the mostly empty Seafront Street and said in an unperturbed tone:
"Wait until you finished speaking."
"That's polite."
Polite my ass! I was really giving my last words just now!
