Enlightenment runes in American manga

Chapter 78
A strong breath of death lingered in Xiao's heart instantly.

He had never encountered a situation where the Red Devil was still being attacked by the enemy after activating his ability, but at this moment, he had a very clear premonition.

Before he teleported away, he would die from the energy ball that Curran summoned, with a terrifying and destructive aura.

So in the next second, the "Black Emperor", known for his selfishness and ruthlessness, seemed to show a noble feeling of sacrificing himself to save others.

He awakened the energy-absorbing stance on his body surface, absorbed all the energy covered by the Red Devil, and interrupted the transmission process that was about to start.

Xiao's body recovered, and then he gritted his teeth and activated all his potential.

The pitch-black energy ball hit his chest, and after that, it was absorbed into his body without any hindrance.

In an instant, everything between heaven and earth seemed to have fallen into a static state, only Xiao's face was constantly changing.

Expectation, worry, determination, horror...

It's like performing a face-changing trick.

And in the end, nothing but despair remained on his face.

The energy ball absorbed into the body suddenly exploded, far beyond the scope of his ability.

Like a landslide and a tsunami, the uncontrolled energy ran wildly in his body, completely destroying the internal structure of his body.

However, Xiao still didn't give up, he absorbed energy as much as possible, and constantly used the converted energy to repair the terrible injuries he suffered.

At this moment, his body became a battlefield for the two forces of destruction and creation.

And from the outside, it can be found that his body has been in a strange state, constantly changing between expansion and contraction.

Because the energy ball was completely absorbed by Xiao, the other members of the Hellfire Club had teleported away at this time.

Only Xiao was left where he was, struggling between life and death.

In view of the fact that once this guy can't control the power contained in the energy ball, it is likely to become a very powerful source of explosion.

Therefore, Ke Lun, who was empty of energy in his body, had already been carried by Li Lisi and flew to a higher sky.

However, Xiao, who was as big as an ant under his feet, was much tougher than he imagined.

Even though his body was close to the limit of expansion several times and was about to explode, he used his will to hold it through.

And when the opponent finally couldn't bear it, most of the out-of-control energy had been consumed by him.

"boom!"

A deafening sonic boom exploded in the night sky, and terrifying air waves gushed out of Xiao's body.

But judging by the intensity of the energy burst, it probably only has the destructive power of an epic level.

Therefore, under the obstruction of several defensive mutants, no damage was caused to the hotels and houses on both sides of the street.

Looking at the center of the explosion, his body was in tatters, and seeing Xiao who had more air and less air, Ke Lun couldn't help being speechless.

Unexpectedly, in order to save himself, this guy accidentally helped the mutants and ordinary people under his command in exchange for life.

Ke Lun would like to boast: self-sacrifice to others black emperor Shaw.

Averting his eyes from Xiao, he then looked at the entire city of Berlin, which had been completely awakened by the explosion.

A large house was lit in the middle of the night, patrolling soldiers and police whistled and shouted, and even the air defense siren was sounded, echoing some people who shouted "air strike".

As a result of this situation, there must be some troubles tomorrow, but at this moment, he was a little tired and didn't want to think about it for the time being, so he just issued two orders.

One is to ask Lilith to treat and take care of Xiao.

The second is to let the guards below cooperate with the SS who will arrive later to maintain order.

Then, Curran randomly found a relatively intact hotel room, meditated for a while under Ophelia's guard, and then fell into a deep sleep.

……

……

At this time, on the unnamed wasteland outside Berlin, the Red Devil, who teleported here through his ability, is being questioned by another male mutant.

"Where's my father?! Why didn't you teleport him?! I need an explanation!"

As soon as the male mutant opened his mouth, his unusual identity was revealed. It turned out to be Sebastian Shaw's son, Snoopy Shaw.

The Red Devil was also feeling wronged in his heart at this time, he was sure that his abilities must have covered Xiao's body.

But at the last moment of transmission, that force suddenly lost contact with him.

So this kind of situation must have nothing to do with him, the problem still lies with his boss.

But his explanation obviously did not satisfy Snoopy.

The mutant team, which has just experienced a big defeat and lost even the leader, is about to split completely.

But at this time, a familiar female voice came from the side, it was the White Queen who had awakened after a simple treatment by the "sage".

As soon as she spoke as the leader, the other mutants immediately fell silent, listening patiently to her judgment on the current situation.

"The Hellfire Club can't go back for the time being. Instead, we need to inform the mutants who are still in the castle to flee quickly. With Curran's strength, once it strikes, we will be hard to resist."

At this point, the White Queen paused for a moment, seeing that the three of Snoopy were silent, and understood that they were also frightened by Curen's terrifying power, and approved of her temporary retreat.

So she went on to say:

"We need to find a mutant who can compete with Curen as the new leader of the Hellfire Club, and then we can find a chance to save Xiao from the opponent."

"Red Devil, teleport in the direction I said, the speed must be fast, Xiao can't wait for long."

The leader whose life and death were uncertain was lifted out, and no one could object, so after a few people looked at each other, they held hands together again and left in a cloud of red mist.

……

……

In the city of Berlin, because of the chaos caused by the battle between Curen and Shaw, a special combat team found an opportunity to sneak in more easily.

They are the first special operations force formed by the United States after joining the war, the Roaring Commando, which specializes in performing the most dangerous tasks behind enemy lines.

This time, the intelligence department got the news that in order to boost morale, the head of state will organize a small military parade and attend the award.

So in order to solve the culprit who launched the war, the superiors handed over the assassination task to the Roaring Commando, and asked them to go deep into the tiger's den and take risks.

But now, from under the chassis of a group of German trucks, fifteen or six black shadows rolled out one after another, burrowing into the grass on the side of the road in the blind spot of the driver's vision.

Then, without saying a word, they sneaked cautiously in a certain direction under the cover of night.

The dense patrol team in the past was sent to the other side of the city where the explosion sounded for support today.

So it went smoothly, and they arrived near the target location.

Then, the leading black officer approached an old villa with an open iron door, and knocked lightly on the door...
