Chapter 131: The Lord Is With Us (52)

༺ The Lord Is With Us (52) ༻

The muddy ground made my steps heavy.

My breathing was at its limit. My body was already riddled with stab wounds.

The frenzied rush of flesh seeds seemed to be endless. I swung my sword again after catching my breath.

Blood naturally poured out from the flesh seed. A diagonal line bisected the head of one of the flesh seeds rushing my way.

I think I killed dozens of them already. How are there still any left?

My exhausted gaze turned toward the flesh nest. We were fast approaching it.

But the closer we got, the shorter the interval between the attacking flesh seeds became. The speed at which the thin-filmed cocoon opened and spewed flesh seeds was too fast for us to keep up with.

I understood that this meant it had generated flesh seeds at the expense of many humans.

The orphans were unlikely to be the end of it. Since it was an experimental lab of sorts for the Dark Order, they most likely kidnapped regular passersby. What came out of it was an army composed of hundreds of flesh seeds.

The only good news was that the prematurely newborn flesh seeds fell short in terms of physical abilities.

Screeeeech!

I heard a clicking sound of teeth grinding together. I cut the flesh seed’s head diagonally, but it didn’t seem to have properly pierced the center of the monster.

With a crunch, its skull burst open under my foot.

I glanced at Senior Delphine. Even the great Senior Delphine seemed to be out of breath by this point and had sweat dripping from her forehead.

Even so, her posture was still firm and proper. With every swing of her sword, the scorched flesh seeds fell without fail.

The only problem was that the flesh seeds, no longer feeling pain, kept attacking even as they burned.

“Kyaaaaaa!”

“Senior Delphine!”

Startled, I looked towards Senior Delphine. It seemed like one of the burnt flesh seeds managed to crawl to Senior Delphine, digging its nails into her ankle.
