SCP Corporation: Contain Bonfire
Chapter 858 - 858 579 The Hidden Attack_2

Chapter 858: Chapter 579: The Hidden Attack_2 Chapter 858: Chapter 579: The Hidden Attack_2 At that moment, she suddenly sensed an extraneous gaze, and a ferocious smile appeared on her face, “Found you!”

As soon as she finished speaking, she violently crushed the silver cup in her hand. The shattered pieces quickly evaporated, forming a curtain-like barrier that sealed off the surrounding area.

The next second, she dashed toward a building in Colin’s direction.

Soon, she saw Colin, looking frail, at the lobby…

“It was you! It was you who killed our great priest and disrupted our ritual…” The woman in a gray cloak, upon seeing Colin, seemed to have bloodshot eyes.

However, in response to her accusation, Colin, leaning against the wall, simply shook his head indifferently, “Your priest? I don’t know him.”

“Don’t know?” Upon hearing this, the woman in a dire state paused.

Colin nodded, casually and honestly saying, “There are too many enemies, might have encountered and killed him on a whim, I really don’t know which priest you’re talking about.”

To be honest, during the last attempt to break out, those enemies, because of the “God Revelation,” came in droves, making it really impossible to remember the so-called priest they mentioned.

After all, he was easily dealt with.

If it weren’t for his severe injuries now, this individual, who might barely qualify as a Level 2 Containment Subject, would merely require a glance.

“You deserve to die!”

After coming to her senses, the woman in the gray cloak seemed to explode with anger, her hair standing on end.

Her body tensed, then she dashed swiftly in front of Colin, swinging her long sword fiercely down at him.

However, the strike ultimately landed on a shield formed of intense light.

Colin’s gaze became murky for a moment because the light originally used to suppress his negative effects was partially drawn for defense, causing him a slight daze, entering a state as if one’s vision darkens suddenly after standing up from a long crouch.

Almost simultaneously, Yukionna, sensing Colin’s vulnerability, dashed over and launched an attack from behind the woman in the gray cloak.

In the chilling wind, the woman in the gray cloak instantly froze into an ice sculpture.

Then, struck by the chunks of ice tossed by Yukionna, she instantly shattered into a pile of corpse fragments.

“Lalala!”

Yukionna stuck out her tongue and made a face, wanting to celebrate her victory. But before she could fully rejoice, she suddenly saw Colin yank her figure back.

It was at that moment that an ancient armored Evil Spirit appeared and attacked where Yukionna had just been.

It opened its huge mouth, seemingly wanting to swallow everything.

“Boom!” Colin punched out, and dozens of “spatial fissures” burst forth from his fist.

Amid the tooth-grinding sound of shattering glass, the Evil Spirit entity, which could face off against three “Mountain of Smiling Corpses” and even had the upper hand, was directly shattered into pieces.

Even though he could access only a small amount of the power of this authority, it was undoubtedly overkill to use it against such an enemy.

It was after slaying this mysterious Evil Spirit that Colin’s head swayed a little, and as he barely steadied himself, he couldn’t help coughing twice, spitting out a mouthful of dark blood.

The spilled blood quickly ignited from some faint flames on his body’s surface…

Then it was absorbed back into his body.

While doing so, he directly alerted the barely recovering Yukionna through inspiration:

“This thing isn’t dead yet, be careful…”

It was just as he finished speaking, countless pitch-black, worm-like shadows gathered in the spacious, grand hall, once again revealing the woman’s figure.

“I almost fell for your trap, but with this God-given Holy Relic, within my domain, I am undying! Hahaha!”

The woman looked at Colin and others and scoffed derisively, “You are strong, but unfortunately, can your body truly withstand the intensity now?”

‘That artifact, was it that cup from before?’

Colin noticed that although the long sword was still in her hand, the silver cup was nowhere to be seen.

Perceiving some invisible domain surrounding him and feeling its terrifying essence, Colin knew she wasn’t lying — that object truly was God-given, with a sufficiently high level of authority.

The domain it created, even a powerful punch from him might not be able to break through.

More force, using “Bonfire,” or the “Repulsion” or “Spatial Displacement” from the Golden Artifact would be required to dispel it…

But doing so could lead to even worse consequences.

“Bonfire” could expose him, and in his current condition, he simply couldn’t sustain another “divine battle.”

The negative effects from using the Golden Artifact previously hadn’t been sufficiently dissipated yet; using it again might well be the straw that breaks the camel’s back.

‘I need to find a way, see if I can discover a fatal weakness in her actions, then power up for a strike from within.’

‘Otherwise, if we truly clash, I’ll be at a disadvantage…’

‘And I must act quickly, lest the noise here attracts the attention of something else.’

Colin had some ideas.

However, more unnerving than being blockaded currently was…

Given the level of authority displayed by her artifact, from his knowledge, it probably wasn’t just blockading the area and letting a barely Level 2 Containment Subject enemy continuously “regenerate” that easily.
