Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 534: Chase After

"Sir Allen?"

The three Azure Dragon Knights came to Ellen's side. One of them took off his hat, but it was Knight Jenna. Looking at the three Naga Knights, Alan didn't know why they came. Jenna reached into her arms and took out a small box and tossed it to Alan. Allen took it and opened it. Inside was a crystal in the shape of a water drop. There was a pale blue liquid flowing in it, from which Alan could feel a strong sense of vitality.

"Your injuries are not light. This is the Heavenly Heart of the Bluesea, our race's healing sacred artifact. It can help you quickly recover your injuries and Origin Energy. You should quickly use it." Jenna outlined how to use it.

Ellen nodded and said, "Thank you." Then, he took out the crystal called Bluesea Heavenly Heart and injected it into his Origin Energy according to what Jenna had said. Instantly, the crystal lit up, and a light blue mist continued to spread outwards. Alan opened his mouth and sucked the mist into his mouth. As the mist entered his body, Allen felt as if they were spiritual and desperately went into his body. Wherever the fog went, it was cold and comfortable.

They rushed towards Allen's left shoulder and arm, which were the most severely injured, and Allen's injured blood vessels were immediately nourished. If one were to look through the microscope at this moment, one would see that Allen's damaged blood vessels and body were healing at a rapid rate. More mist poured into his body, and the exhausted Origin Energy gradually rose back like a stream flowing through a stone stream. In the blink of an eye, Alan had recovered a small portion of his Origin Energy.

He was greatly shocked that the recovery speed of this Blue Sea Heavenly Heart was far faster than the body restoration liquid used by the Federation. He didn't know that the Heavenly Heart of the Bluesea was derived from the essence of the Immortal Spring, and it was filled with expanding water origin energy, so its recovery speed was naturally extremely fast. If not for Allen letting the Nagas go and making Earl Eric's plan come to naught, the Nagas would not have used this sacred object on a human like him.

Rapid recovery of his injuries and Origin Energy was a good thing, and as his body recovered, Alan's perception also became sharp. Thus, he sensed an obscure aura rushing straight towards him. That aura wasn't necessarily that powerful, but it was cold and strange. Every time Alan wanted to capture it, he would be able to see it like a shadow, but he couldn't figure it out. Alan knew that Ceglis was here. He had fought against the same mutant once, and he had already remembered his aura from the bottom of his heart.

Just as this thought occurred to him, a black mist suddenly exploded from the defensive wall a hundred meters away. Within the black mist, countless flying bats condensed from pitch black aura rushed out. Two soldiers fell out of the black mist. They fell out of the black mist intact. However, when he fell to the ground, he was like a fragile piece of porcelain. The surface of his body was covered in fine cracks. In an instant, his body shattered like rubble, and his corpse scattered into grains of varying sizes. When the meat fragments scattered to the ground, a pool of dense blood appeared on the ground.

Ceglis stepped on the blood and walked out of the black mist. He smiled sinisterly and walked towards Allen step by step. "Long time no see, brother. Are you ready today? Get ready for me to harvest your life!"

Alan glanced at Daniel, who was inextricably linked to Wei on the wall and said, "There are quite a few people who want to kill me today."

"Really? But your destiny is destined to end in my hands."

Alan could still feel the Heavenly Heart of the Bluesea still working. There was a numb itching sensation coming from many parts of his body, which was a sign that the wound was recovering. Now, for him, every extra minute of time was beneficial. '"I'm not sure. Ceglis, if I were you, I wouldn't have appeared on the human battlefield as a mutant."

"Really? I don't think humans have time to pay attention to me now. It's you, Ellen. Death's scythe is already on your neck!" Ceglis leaned over and charged forward.

A hundred meters was just a blink of an eye for him.

Seglis moved, and an Azure Dragon Knight had already welcomed him. Alan didn't even have a chance to stop him. Jenna and another knight rushed in the opposite direction. Alan hurriedly shouted, "Put me down. Your companions are no match for that fellow."

"I know."

Jenna said this, but the hand holding Allen's arm did not show any signs of relaxation.

"Then let me go!"

"No, you're the person the princess wants to see. You can't die until you see His Highness. That person will kill you." Jenna's face was a little pale, she could feel it. If Alan's aura was a dazzling ball of flame, then Ceglis was the deepest darkness. His darkness was different from Belmond's. The darkness of Ceglis was like an abyss in hell, bottomless, with a ruthless coldness.

If he caught Allen, with Allen's current situation, the person His Highness had named would definitely fall into the bottomless abyss.

Jenna can't let this happen.

The Azure Dragon Knight who was heading towards Ceglis stretched out his hand and formed a Blue Wave Battle Spear. With a flick of his spear, a dazzling spear shadow appeared in the knight's hand and covered Seglis. He didn't want to hurt the enemy, he just wanted to stall this mutant.

Ceglis directly crashed into the spear shadow. He seemed to have no real ghost as he passed through the spear shadow. The Azure Dragon Knight cried out in alarm. However, every time the knight's spear was about to hit him, the tip of the spear would always bring a strange force field elsewhere. Thus, even though the spear's shadow was dense, it could not stop Segliss for a moment. Ceglis passed through the spear screen and collided with the Azure Dragon Knight. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the knight's neck. Then, he slammed forward forcefully and disappeared into the air with the knight.

In an instant, it appeared ten meters away. Just like before, a ball of black mist exploded out of the space. The Azure Dragon Knight fell out of the mist. The battle spear in his hand had disappeared. His entire body had nearly a hundred wounds that were like small mouths, and he spat out jade-colored blood arrows. Although he didn't die like an ordinary soldier, the Azure Dragon Knight also lost the ability to fight. He could only watch as Ceglis passed by her like the wind and chased after Alan.

If it weren't for Ellen, Ceglis would definitely have made up for it. So now, the knight survived.

On the wall, Ellen was seen being carried away by Jenna. Then, a familiar figure jumped into his eyes. Daniel raised his eyebrows. He recognized the figure. The mutant named Ceglis, one of the assassins he had assigned to assassinate Alan, had never expected to appear here again, and it seemed that he was still carrying out his previous mission. Today was undoubtedly a good opportunity for Daniel to kill Alan.

However, this opportunity was slipping away after a series of accidents. Daniel could not tolerate such a thing happening and let out a long howl. The spear in his hand released a dazzling electric current, and a round of berserk attacks pushed Wei Fu away before leaping towards the rooftop of the nearby building. Locking onto Ceglis's figure below, Daniel's figure flashed out and hung behind Ceglis from midair.

Wei Fu frowned and looked at the battlefield. Still unable to discover Lily's figure, he could only sigh and follow behind.

Thus, including Allen, the six of them quickly chased after him in the city. Jenna and the other knight's footsteps weren't slow, and their movements were strangely consistent. Therefore, although the two of them were carrying Alan, they were running as naturally as a person. Every time their toes pressed down on the ground, they would dodge more than a dozen meters in front of them. Every time they passed by, there would be a wave of air on the ground.

Even if they hit the corner of the street, it wouldn't slow them down a bit. The flexible body of the Naga Clan allowed them to easily turn at high speeds. If a person's Origin Energy did not exceed rank ten, they would probably break their leg bones and tendons.

Jenna and Alan drove into a market.

Normally, people would come and go here, and shops would be like clouds. It was a rather lively place in the city. However, it was a time of war, and the residents were ordered not to go out in their homes. They would only be evacuated as needed when the battle occurred in the streets. The war outside had yet to develop into an unfavourable situation of street fighting, so the inhabitants stayed at home, making the market seem much more empty than usual.

Void was empty. Because there was no plan here, there were many shops, making it look chaotic. Some small merchants even built a wooden shed, which was a temporary store. The appearance of these makeshift stores made the environment of the already messy market even more complicated.

Seeing Jenna and the others enter the market and quickly disappear behind the chaotic buildings, Ceglis's face darkened. Just as he was about to catch up, he leaned forward and stopped. Then he sneered, "Viscount Daniel, if I remember correctly, Ellen seems to be on your list."

Behind him, Daniel stood with his gun and said in the same cold tone, "Yes, and not long ago, you were on it. So you'd better answer me, Ceglis, what are you doing here?"

"I told you, I want Alan's life. This time, it's no exception."

"Alright, I'm not interested in knowing about you and Alan. But since you want his life, it seems that we can work together on this matter." Daniel said calmly.

"No, Viscount. Ellen is mine, and he must be killed by me. I promise he won't live today, if you can remove that damn gun from me!" Ceglis' tone had become impatient, and Daniel's gun was pointing at him. It was the killing intent generated by the tip of the spear that forced him to stop. Otherwise, he would have chased after Jenna and the others long ago.

The wind blew again, and Segliss's eyes blurred. Elder Weaver appeared at the entrance of the market. Elder Na Jia slapped his hands, and the two Jade Wave Short Knives formed a spear. Elder Weaver raised his spear and said calmly, "There's no need to discuss. Today, the two of you won't be able to get past me."
