"You’re Ley, the genius of the Special Task Force in the eastern region? One of the dogs that Schiker’s raising?" The black-clothed person opposite him spoke with a hint of scorn.
"You’re looking for death!" Leylin’s eyes opened suddenly, as if two balls of flames were being launched from them.
*Shua!* His entire body seemed to transform into a thread of flames, boring through his opponent’s forehead and coming out through the back before turning back into a humanoid figure.
*Crackle!* The black-clothed person who had not been the least bit modest with his words had a dazed look on his face. Seconds later, he turned into a torch of fire and began to incinerate fiercely.
"Whorf! Whorf!" The other person in black was clearly stunned, before beginning to shout. The voice was lovely, and evidently belonged to a woman.
"You dare… You dare kill him…" The woman raised her head, eyes full of hatred as she glared at Leylin, itching to hack him to pieces.
Leylin merely hummed coldly as if he did not care. If looks could kill, what was power for anyway?
These two heads were Sky ranks, but they had obviously used some secret potion or taboo techniques to forcefully break through. Their auras were rather unstable, and were at most comparable to the peak of the Earth rank. Perhaps any expert at the eighth level of Fireplume could dispose of them easily.
Of course, this was understandable. If the three dukes had created the Triserpent Sect, they could not have gathered many techniques given the difference in the flow of time between Lava World and the Magus World. Support for advancement and methods that would result in instant benefits were necessary things.
The woman did not rush over to fight with all her might. Instead, she ordered something into her communicative device in her hand, "Activate the Berserk Legion!"
*Ka-cha! Ka-cha!* A steel door in the base opened, and many Emberwings with dazed expressions walked out.
Their crimson eyes radiated a feeling of indifference. Their bodies were filled with strange runes, and parts of their bodies had obviously been strengthened and altered. Many of the Special Task Force members had difficulty even telling that they were Emberwings.
After being let out, the lost look in their eyes was replaced by viciousness as they let loose howls that were similar to those of beasts.
*Boom!* A researcher nearby was immediately beaten to the point that blood splattered everywhere.
A crimson rain fell on this berserk legion, causing them to appear even more malicious and terrifying.
The legion that had already gone insane began to destroy things without distinction. Whether it was the Special Task Force members or their own people, all were attacked. Due to the differences in numbers, the berserk legion landed the most critical attack on the followers of the Triserpent Sect. Leylin, who saw this scene, could not help but shake his head. This woman was obviously treating these modified people who were as of yet unable to control their bloodlines as her trump cards and weapon for revenge.
"Ahaha… Whorf’s dead. I want all of you to die with him." The woman shouted maniacally, her voice so sharp that it could pierce through eardrums.
"This woman’s gone crazy! Or she wasn’t mentally sound in the first place… " Leylin shook his head.
Watching her with pity, Leylin did not hold back. An enormous fire phoenix soared across the sky, its giant wings sweeping across the woman. It sent her retreating, coughing up blood.
"Boss, what do we do?" Watching the berserk legion, especially whose members consisted of Emberwings, Mies was caught in a dilemma.
Not only were those of the berserk legion insane, their battle might was astounding. On top of that, they were his fellow clansmen, so Mies found it difficult to attack.
"It doesn’t matter, I’ll take care of it. Their blood might be infectious, so be careful not to make contact with them!"
