Chapter 154: Chapter 154
Although Deadpool wasn't someone who cared much about external things, he could recognize his own weapons in an instant. But this wasn't the time to argue about such matters with Kurohane. Storm's fingertips crackled with lightning, summoning several bolts from the sky, scattering the fleeing rescue team in disarray, their formation long gone! As the sole casualty, Deadpool's Edman Alloy Knife held in his hand acted like a lightning rod, and with a 'sizzle', he fell to the ground, emitting black smoke and smelling quite delicious!
Congratulations to Deadpool for achieving: Brother, You Smell Delicious!
Deadpool's reaction was quite reasonable, but the performance of these three Horsemen of Apocalypse wasn't. They all surrounded Kurohane, seemingly intent on blocking his advance! Kurohane wasn't flustered. A golden magic shield appeared to his left, and he held a katana in his right hand, looking at the three opponents in front of him. "The rules of the martial world, one on one! What kind of heroes are you, three against one?"
"Evil devils and heretics must be punished by everyone! Why talk about martial world rules with you? Brothers, attack!" Angel, flying in the sky, finished speaking and flicked several feathers from his steel wings. These thick feathers were like sharp, swift blades, shooting towards Kurohane with a tearing, air-whistling sound! The Seraphim Shield pushed forward, batting away all the blade-like feathers. Kurohane fell into self-doubt.
Kurohane: Why did it feel like those lines were reversed just now? How did I become the villain?! It sounds like they're saying my lines!
Casually using the katana in his hand to cut the energy whip Psylocke threw, Kurohane started doubting himself even more. "You're dressed like that and using a colorful whip... isn't that an S&M look?!"
Kurohane had originally planned to pull the three into the Mirror Dimension, but after thinking about how chaotic Cairo already was, it couldn't get much worse, so he might as well save some mental energy! Sparks appeared again at Storm's fingertips, her eyes whitening as she looked up at the sky, beginning to communicate with the dark clouds and lightning elements in the sky, preparing to give Kurohane the same treatment as Deadpool. Thinking of the delicious smell of Deadpool's burnt flesh, Kurohane obediently put away the Edman Alloy Knife.
A great Holy Light sword appeared in his hand, and two pairs of light-transformed wings appeared on his back. He flew into the sky and became entangled with the steel-winged Angel. After Apocalypse's upgrade, the wings on Angel's back were not only upgraded to hard steel, but some of his ribs were even extracted by Apocalypse and remade into a pair of smaller wings, allowing him to fly more flexibly in the sky.
Kurohane's two pairs of wings were an effect of the Holy Scar after the upgrade. Of course, the main reason was that the Sacred Energy wasn't enough before. Now that he had plenty of energy, he could naturally spend it freely. Seeing Angel flying in the air with two pairs of wings, Kurohane followed suit, creating two pairs of wings even more exaggerated than his own, flying at a speed that far exceeded Angel's!
Storm was now in an awkward position. Kurohane and Angel were engaged in an aerial battle in the sky. If she summoned lightning from the sky, it was clear that the lightning would automatically target the person whose wings were entirely made of iron. And if she used a storm to blow him away, it seemed the steel wings would also be disadvantaged! But now that the lightning had been summoned, not using it would be a waste. Sensing the location of the tactical team from earlier, she found a large blue man being blocked by Psylocke. Coincidentally, she was also a bit annoyed with Psylocke in her high-cut bodysuit, so she directly threw a lightning bolt onto their battlefield!
Two beams of energy lasers suddenly shot from the ground, colliding with the lightning descending from the sky, initiating a beam struggle! One was Havok, who shot lasers from his chest, and the other was Cyclops, who shot lasers from his eyes. The brothers united, weighing over two hundred kilograms. In truth, even one on one, both of them could block some of these lightning bolts, but Cyclops was a bit nervous being on the battlefield for the first time, and his laser went astray into his brother's released laser, instantly causing a huge explosion in the air, creating a massive shockwave, which knocked Kurohane, Angel, and Storm, who were flying in the air, all down, falling separately into the ruins, kicking up three small mushroom clouds!
Kurohane was the quickest to crawl out of the ruins, still holding a piece of the steel wing he had cut off. This Mutant Angel's physical condition was only average. Although he was slightly stronger than ordinary people, he was no match for Kurohane either in terms of strength or reaction speed. As for combat experience, he was even less suited for Kurohane. Kurohane only exposed a small flaw, and seized the opportunity to cut off his left wing! Even without the explosion shockwave caused by Cyclops, Angel, having lost one wing, was destined to fall from the sky! Otherwise, with his flying ability, he wouldn't have crashed directly into the ruins without any buffer.
"Cut the grass, remove the roots! Justice points haven't been earned yet!"
With a fierce flap of the four light wings on his back, Kurohane activated his Super Vision, killing his way out of one smoke cloud and plunging into another! This amount of dust had no effect on Kurohane. He clearly saw Angel's current state. Angel was quite unlucky too. When he fell from the sky, he happened to land on a newly built house. Generally, old houses in Cairo were made of bricks and wooden structures. The house Angel crashed into happened to be a new one built with reinforced concrete. The concrete wasn't important, but the steel bars were quite important. A broken steel bar happened to pierce Angel's waist, skewering him like a shish kebab. Red blood flowed onto the steel bar, pooling into a small puddle on the ground.
Boom—!
Kurohane suddenly appeared beside him, his light wings on his back flapping fiercely, dispersing the dust around him. Seeing the severely injured Angel, Kurohane didn't hesitate and delivered a kick, stomping hard on the intact steel wing on his back, effectively reinforcing his position! A gush of blood spurted from Angel's wound, and he let out a tragic scream, "Ah—!"
"Surrender or death?" Kurohane asked, his voice low and menacing.
Angel's original wings were actually injured to the point of being half-paralyzed. If Apocalypse hadn't helped him reshape them, he would have been a disabled person from then on, losing his livelihood as an underground bare-knuckle fighter. Apocalypse gave him a second life, so in terms of loyalty to Apocalypse, he was the highest! But Kurohane's mischievous nature also surfaced. He just wanted to see the four Horsemen of Apocalypse betray Apocalypse!
Angel saw the strange smile on Kurohane's face and gave a bitter laugh, "I am Apocalypse's most loyal Horseman, I... I must kill Apocalypse!"
