The scene suddenly vanished.
Lex abruptly looked out the window, and sure enough, a giant flaming spear was hurtling through the air, seemingly intent on pinning both him and Morse to the spot!
The flaming spear came too fast. Although Lex wanted to save Morse, at this moment, he could only prioritize saving his own life.
Lex only managed to flip over behind the sofa before hearing a loud crash as the window was shattered to pieces by the flaming spear. Amidst the flying fragments, some shot towards Morse.
At this point, the flaming spear separated into streams of reddish-yellow flames, either coiling around the fragments, intercepting them, or pulverizing them, leaving Morse completely unharmed.
As the flaming spear passed by Morse, it transformed into a multitude of flames that shot out in all directions, not harming Morse in the slightest. They then gathered with a whoosh around Lex, converging towards him.
Lex looked up and around, his vision filled with crimson flames, unable to see anything else.
His hair curled, his eyes stung from the heat, and he was instantly engulfed by the flames.
The fire quickly dispersed, revealing a burnt sofa and scattered paper ashes twinkling with sparks.
The scattered flames came around Morse, forming a human figure. This figure had slicked-back golden hair, a high-bridged nose, emerald green eyes, a broad chin, and a thick beard. His physique was even more imposing, over two meters tall, a typical Feysac appearance and build.
His gaze, sharp as a torch, fell on the empty bed in the room. There, Lex's figure materialized, a senior gentleman adjusting his top hat, gently settling down.
"Seer," the Feysac man uttered, his eyes full of disgust, "And a Loenese at that!"
Lex's face had distinct Loenese features. Feysac people have never had a good impression of Loenese, and vice versa, so such an attitude was perfectly normal.
And from the Feysac man's 'performance' just now, Lex roughly knew what pathway and sequence of Beyonder he was.
"An Iron-Blooded Knight?" Lex said in a hoarse voice.
"Since you know, don't put up a futile resistance. Otherwise, I hope you can bear the consequences of your resistance."
The Iron-Blooded Knight said majestically.
Lex smiled and leaped towards the door not far away.
"Seeking death!"
The Iron-Blooded Knight let out a soft shout, and suddenly a dagger appeared in his hand, which he hurled fiercely at Lex.
The dagger cut through the air, leaving afterimages, and a low sonic boom sounded, like a cannonball fired from a cannon!
Upon hearing this sound, Lex's face changed drastically. He quickly stopped, watching the dagger pass in front of him and embed itself in the door.
The door shattered and exploded instantly, as if hit by a real cannonball, sending fragments flying.
At the same time, the dagger also fragmented, breaking into countless tiny steel shards. These shards, like a storm of bullets from machine gun fire, swept through the surroundings, tearing Lex apart!
However, the 'Lex' that was torn apart suddenly thinned, becoming a torn Paper Doll, floating in the air.
Lex, whose figure materialized in the room again, already held a Blood Praise in his hand, but traces of blood seeped from his shoulder and thigh, clearly indicating that the Paper Doll Substitute had not allowed him to escape all harm.
And that last attack had given him some understanding of the Iron-Blooded Knight's power and abilities. A Beyonder at this stage clearly had abilities related to fire and metal.
The flaming spear that tore through the sky upon his appearance, and the casual throw of a dagger that created the power of a cannonball, all proclaimed the might of iron and fire.
This was the power of a Hunter Demigod!
The Blood Praise fired, bullets tearing through the air, but not aimed at the Iron-Blooded Knight, but at Morse!
Morse hadn't expected Lex to point a gun at him and, for a moment, his mind went blank, forgetting to dodge.
At this moment, his vision blurred, and the Iron-Blooded Knight was already standing in front of him. By now, the Demigod's skin was a dark iron color, faintly gleaming with metallic luster.
It seemed he had transformed into a metallic being. The bullets struck him, making a 'clang, clang, clang' sound, sparking off his body, but failing to leave even a white mark!
The Iron-Blooded Knight merely raised his hands to protect his eyes, not defending any other part of his body, letting Lex shoot him.
"Still able to do this." Lex would bet that at this moment, the Iron-Blooded Knight's body hardness must far exceed that of a Zombie. He could probably withstand a coastal artillery barrage without damage.
Of course, he didn't expect a single revolver to cause damage to a Demigod, even if it was a magical item.
So, while shooting, and while the Demigod was protecting Morse, Lex took out a metal bottle with his other hand.
A hydrogen cylinder!
At this time, the bottle had already drawn in air, mixing with the hydrogen inside. Lex waved his hand and threw it out, then raised his gun and fired.
The bullet left the barrel, streaking at high speed, and the moment it hit the hydrogen cylinder, a dazzling bright Light lit up in the room.
Boom!
With a loud bang, the house's windows instantly shattered and flew apart. The entire house visibly bulged slightly, and then the roof and bedroom walls exploded into countless fragments, accompanied by obvious tongues of flame spewing out of the house, clattering onto the open ground outside.
After the explosion, the house was already on the verge of collapse. In the dense black smoke, a shadowy figure shot out like lightning, landing on the open ground outside the house.
It was the Iron-Blooded Knight, still carrying the unconscious and bleeding Morse in his hand.
He snorted, placed Morse on the ground, and his body instantly burned, turning into flames and streams of fire, rushing into the house.
After quickly circling inside and outside the house, the flames and streams of fire returned outside, re-forming the Iron-Blooded Knight's figure.
"He runs really fast. That's why I hate Seers the most, especially Loenese Seers!"
Amber Home Hotel.
Lex, who had returned to the hotel in his original appearance, took off his winter coat, let out a breath, and plopped down on a chair.
"Demigods are truly terrifying. Fortunately, he had to protect Morse, otherwise, I probably wouldn't have escaped."
"Extraordinaries of this sequence are completely different from those of the mid-sequences. They can actually change their body form, transform into flames, or become an Iron Man."
"Can't beat him, can't beat him. Even if I have two High Rank items, I can't compare to a true Demigod. Besides, as a Demigod, he would certainly have magical items or Sealed Artifacts on him."
"It seems Morse can't be rescued. Clarence Gate is also in the hands of the Rose School of Thought. Neither side is something I can contend with."
Lex rubbed his chin and said, "There's no other way. I can only write to my mother and ask her to Rayleigh the situation to Mr. Asered. I won't interfere in this matter anymore."
He moved his body, feeling the stinging pain from his shoulder and thigh, and quickly took off his clothes to treat his wounds.
