Valentina was lying alone behind one of the countless doors in this columnar space. She was sitting in the dark corridor. From above, frightening tremors and roars kept coming, and she could only keep silent.
He grabbed the ring that Fisher had put on his ring finger before, trying to use this method to bless the safety of Fisher above.
Next to him, Emhardt, who was wearing a string of lighting magic necklaces, was flying around irritably, mumbling,
"What can we do? What can we do? That pedestal is at least a mythical level. No matter how outrageous that brat Fisher is, he can't possibly deal with two people at the same time. The person chasing him is not a good thing either.
The feeling is very weird, what should I do, I have no one to shake me with."
"Howl!!"
"Boom!"
Outside the door, the pedestal seemed to be constantly chasing someone. Even if it moved, the terrifying power could make the door next to Valentina, which was much heavier than her, shake wildly and frighten the book.
Jazz quickly flew over and pressed his body against the door, fearing that someone outside would find them hiding here.
"Wait a minute, Emhart, do me a favor and open the lid so that the tree roots inside can be exposed."
Emhard turned his head to look at Valentina suspiciously and said to her,
"What are you going to do?"
Valentina leaned against the wall and explained to Emhart,
"There are two enemies outside, both of which are difficult to deal with. Fisher's knife can only deal with one of them, right? I want to be an insurance. If the situation is really bad and cannot be solved, I can borrow it."
Use the roots of the tree to eliminate the phoenix blood in my body, so that the base will not become complete."
Emhard opened his mouth and shook his head irritably.
"It is absolutely impossible for Fisher to agree. Although he is greedy, he still cares about you. He will not let you die. Moreover, since the Moon Princess wants you to come back, there must be her reasons. It is absolutely impossible.
I asked you to come back and cause trouble, so just wait."
Valentina shook her head after hearing this, and then pointed to her eyes, where the light of Zhenbing could be clearly seen even in the dark.
"Princess Moon may have her own arrangements for doing this, but I can't place all my hope on her arrangements. During the Holy Marriage, I also saw the future. I mean, Fisher and you will be fine.
I promise."
Emhard was stunned for a moment, looking at the determination in the eyes of the delicate girl lying on the ground in front of him, and murmured in a low voice,
"You are indeed a phoenix. I know."
But before Emhardt finished speaking, there was suddenly a little inappropriate dripping sound of liquid in the dark and narrow corridor, as if there was a leak somewhere, water was overflowing and dripping down.
generally,
"Tick tick tick~"
"Emhardt, open the door quickly and let's go!"
Valentina was very confused at first, until she heard the faint smell of blood, she shrank and shouted at Emhart, but at the same time, she suddenly felt a
Ju Li grabbed her neck and lifted her up easily.
"Well"
"I found you, little Phoenix."
The door behind her was knocked open by Emhart. Following the last bit of light coming from his body, Valentina saw clearly the image of the man wearing the beak mask in front of her. It was obvious that he was looking at her like this, but she let
Valentina's whole body instinctively felt fear.
Erwind grabbed Valentina's neck and walked towards the door. He lowered his head and glanced at the book in the distance that was flying unsteadily downwards. He ignored Emhardt who was escaping and just looked up.
Looking towards Fisher who is being chased by the mythical pedestal above,
"Fisher, you have to make a decision quickly, whether you want to use the death rune on that curse, your little girlfriend"
Erwind glanced at the ring on Valentina's struggling finger again, and suddenly changed his tune,
"Oh no, your little wife may not be able to hold on for long. Her body is already in poor condition, and the human body is forced to accommodate the blood of the phoenix, which is far beyond its own level. It is already a miracle that she can survive until now."
"Howl!"
"Earlwind!!"
Directly above, Fisher, who was being chased by the terrifying pedestal behind him, shrank slightly. He seemed to be extremely angry. He reached out and grasped the dagger hidden in his arms, and suddenly released the fluid hanging on the bridge above.
The sword rushed towards Erwind at an extremely fast speed, as if he wanted to kill Erwind first with the death rune in his arms.
Erwind, who was holding Valentina, saw this scene and sighed slightly, and the force on Valentina's neck became stronger.
"Unfortunately, even if you are as smart as you are, you will become irrational at this time. If you could think carefully and weigh the pros and cons, you might not make such a decision."
He raised his left arm and whipped up a powerful gust of wind with a violent swing. This attack from bottom to top seemed completely inescapable for Fisher, who was pulled downwards by gravity.
In the space, the strong wind defused Fisher's offensive. Just as Fisher had expected, even with the death rune, after all, the gap in rank was there, and Fisher couldn't cut it at all.
Middle Earlwind.
"Valentina, now!"
But the moment the attack was launched, Fisher's shout came to Erwind's ears in advance.
Erwind's blow just now knocked Fisher away. This powerful blow made him loosen his grip on the dagger in his arms, and the dagger hidden under his coat also flew into the air.
Flying up, just when Erwind was thinking about whether to take back the death rune for his own use, he suddenly saw the true appearance of the dagger.
It was an extremely short and mini triangular dagger. It looked very different from the image of a large-scale murder weapon made by demons. It was far from even a weapon that "human beings can use easily". The dagger was rough.
The workmanship looks very ridiculous, and there is even a cute fox symbol painted on the handle of the knife.
Is this a dagger made by Snow Fox?
So where did the real death rune go?
The moment this idea popped into Erwind's mind, he got the corresponding answer. His movements froze slightly, because Valentina, who was strangled by his neck behind him, had already taken out a simulator from her arms.
What is this gorgeous and exquisite dagger if it is not the death rune given by Eliog.
Did you fall into a trap?
In this flash of lightning, Erwind's left hand struck Fisher, while his right hand was still squeezing Valentina's neck. He even looked in the direction of Fisher, without any thought at all.
She didn't have time to look back at Valentina, but the thought of falling into a trap just came to her mind.
Opportunity, once in a lifetime!
Valentina gritted her teeth and prepared to seize the opportunity to pull the scabbard away, but Erwind in front of her didn't even look back. No matter how she looked at it, it was the best time.
But at this time, something unexpected happened.
Erwind's body was motionless, but facing Valentina's neck, a thick flesh-and-blood arm suddenly grew out, and the palm that grew out pressed Valentina accurately and quickly.
The hand that was about to draw the sword fixed the death rune that was about to be unsheathed in place.
This inhuman scene was beyond Valentina's imagination, but with just this second of pause, the key attack opportunity was lost.
"Well!"
On that arm, the trembling and growing eyes twisted little by little, all staring at Valentina who was completely controlled in front of her, and Erwind, who was originally looking in the direction of Fisher, also turned little by little.
He turned his head and looked at Valentina with great admiration, who was still struggling to pull out the death rune, and said,
"What a good plan. Did you want to get rid of me first? That's right. Although the curse has a high level but no sanity, it should be easier to deal with than me. But just now, even a normal person with only one level just now
I can pull out the knife, but it's a pity that you are just a disabled human with phoenix blood and do not have such ability."
At the same time, a "kaka" sound suddenly came from the platform below, and the platform moved Zhen Bing away little by little, revealing the roots of the world tree distorting the space below.
"Ah, that may be true, but at least it's not my turn to be pointed at by you, an ugly monster."
Valentina held her neck in pain and squinted her eyes at Erwind in front of her.
Erwind seemed to notice something was wrong. He carefully looked around at Valentina in front of him with his beak mask, and suddenly found that the ring originally worn on her finger had appeared in her palm at some point.
Inside, the activated magic emblem on it dissipated little by little, completely exposing her aura.
"Howl!"
At the moment when Valentina, the last phoenix, revealed her aura, Erwind suddenly felt a chill on his back, and he knew that the curse was already behind him without even thinking about it.
He subconsciously wanted to avoid the attack of the curse behind him, but even a mythical person without consciousness is still a mythical person. He is countless times faster than Erwind, and cannot even be caught by the naked eye.
The moment he arrived, Erwind's whole body was swallowed up by the curse.
But Valentina was well prepared and pushed Erwinde's head hard, and the opposite force immediately pushed her down.
"Howl!"
But how could the curse let the bloodline that was right in front of her leave? It jumped towards Valentina like crazy. The huge power seemed to penetrate the entire sycamore tree, and countless building fragments were shattered by the base.
It was hit with such force that it fell, as if the most beautiful art machine in the world was about to break into pieces.
The huge base was polluted by some invisible force. Black feathers with blood grew on Valentina's clothes and skin like crazy, and above, Fisher was also carrying
With the fluid sword, he ran towards the fallen Valentina from the base, trying his best to save her.
"boom!"
But the next second, under Fisher's feet, the body of the base suddenly exploded with a hole. Erwind, who had some black feathers on his body, calmly emerged from the cursed body. In mid-air, the death
The runes were spinning crazily, and both of them saw the spinning dagger, and then moved at the same time.
However, Erwind was heading towards the Death Rune, while Fisher was heading towards Valentina.
"Weaknesses will destroy you, Fisher. If you let go of the Death Rune, you are doomed."
""
The moment the two of them met, Erwind's calm voice came, but Fisher ignored him and jumped directly from the pedestal to Valentina's side and hugged him tightly.
In arms.
A pair of wings of flesh and blood grew out from behind Erwind, and he stretched out his hand towards the death runes falling from the sky. But the next moment, a square book with glittering golden light screamed wildly and spoke at a very fast speed.
Speed opened his mouth and held the short knife in his mouth.
"Here comes Sir Great Book!! Get out of here!"
"Teardrop Relic?"
Erwind raised his eyes and locked his eyes on Emhart's square figure. Just as he was about to chase him, the mercury-like sword blade behind him easily pierced his body and pulled him down again.
, he turned his head to look, only to see that the feathers on Fisher's body were getting heavier and heavier. The curse of the base body was much more powerful than the ghost in the spirit world he had seen before, and Fisher could not hold on for too long.
.
Then, it would be a good choice to solve Fisher first.
Erwind slapped his chest violently, and as a huge sonic boom sounded, the fluid sword that turned into a fishhook and hooked Erwind was directly knocked away, and Erwind was completely
The person's arms also turned into weapons that were faster than bullets and fell downwards.
The unconscious curse fell headlong onto the root of the tree, and the energy from the root burned its forehead with smoke and pain. This gave Erwind and Fisher an opportunity to fight.
Fisher's physical fitness, which reached the thirteenth level, was operating to the extreme. In just a few moves, he evaded all of Erwind's attacks, and could even use the fluid sword to counterattack. Although the two of them were due to the unresolved curse below.
Everyone is not at full strength yet, but even so, Valentina, who doesn't even have a first-level position in Fisher's arms, can't bear it.
"Fisher, although the little phoenix in your arms is trying to be brave and silent, she is actually very fragile. Are you sure you want to continue?"
Erwind's hands turned into countless sharp tentacles and whipped Fisher, who was dodging around, while he reminded him. After hearing this, Fisher lowered his head and saw that Valentina's face in his arms was already pale.
Scary.
The battle above the tenth level has exceeded the limit that normal humans can endure. Even if Fisher can avoid Valentina completely, he will not be able to bear it. If the battle continues, Valentina's internal organs will be shaken.
.
But at this moment, Fisher was suddenly hit by Erwind in the back, and a cloud of blood mist exploded behind him, but the blood mist immediately poured into Erwind's body.
It wasn't an illusion, Erwind's movements seemed to be much lighter.
He gritted his teeth and pinched the [Dream] ring head magic in his hand. This was the trump card he had prepared. He had already made up his mind to use the death rune on the curse, and then dragged Erwind into the dream to fight to the death.
Already.
In this way, if he succeeds, both he and Valentina can survive; on the other hand, if he fails and dies, and both completion manuals are taken away, Fisher does not think that Erwind will take Valentina away.
Lentina killed because his goal had been achieved and there was no need to do such a meaningless thing again.
Thinking of this, he raised his head without hesitation and shouted "Emhart". Emhart quickly threw the death rune in his mouth to him, and Fisher raised his hand to catch it.
The dagger came over and looked down at the base below where the head had just been pulled out of the energy of the tree roots.
Erwind seemed to read his thoughts, which suited him very well, because he knew that if Fisher did not have the death rune, he would be 99% unable to defeat him, so he stood quietly
Not far away from Fisher, waiting for him to attack the base.
Fisher took a deep breath, suddenly lowered his head and kissed Valentina's face hard in his arms, making the pale Valentina smile.
"Fisher"
"This may be the last time, sorry."
"no, do not want"
In the distance, Erwind quietly turned his head away, just looking down at the curse below. But the next second, in his sight, the curse trembled all over, and thousands of branches suddenly opened on its body.
His bloodshot eyes stared fiercely upward.
Before, Fisher and Erwind both took the lead in putting the other party in the priority position, because the base below had no sanity and only brute force, but they ignored it after all. The mythical level is the mythical level.
, that is a power that no creature below this level can imagine.
And now, feeling the last incomplete Phoenix bloodline, the incomplete base is finally about to launch its offensive.
"Howl!"
The next second, an extremely harsh and indescribable sound burst out from the base, and streaks of blood-red light burst out instantly, covering the entire sycamore tree in an instant.
, Erwind, Fisher and Valentina's magic circuits all brightened up.
Erwind's body trembled slightly, and then disappeared in an instant, and ran upwards without looking back. In the end, he was still one step late from the base. The moment the light came, Fisher immediately felt like an ear.
As if he was deaf, the magic power in his whole body was drained away by the invisible power in an instant, and his body fell softly to the ground.
"It's all your fault. You didn't sew other people's souls in. Now that your soul is damaged, you have no backup."
"Yes, yes, quickly eat the Phoenix blood in your arms, that will do it"
In Fisher's ears, the crazy whisper came again, but this scream hurt people with strong souls like the magician the most. This made Fisher unable to calm down for a while, as if his brain was being damaged.
After hitting it hard, it went blank.
Emhart, who was flying in the air, turned into an ordinary book and fell to the ground as if he had run out of power, rolling around several times.
"Howl!!"
Lights and screams continued to come from below. What was even more terrifying was that in Fisher's extremely horrified eyes, all the magic rings on his body were falling off, and his soul magic fell off layer by layer.
, until it completely turned into a pile of patterns without any magic power, and the pendant given to him by Valentina's mother also fell off one by one and turned into garbage. Only the [Dream] magic he designed himself was still strong, staying at two rings.
This kind of low-level magic has no effect at all. It is difficult to pull a more powerful magician in, let alone pull Erwind in.
However, it screamed weirdly and then spread its wings, trying to swallow Valentina and Fisher together.
"Fisher, be careful!"
At the moment when the curse below was about to open its huge mouth and attack, Valentina, who was also extremely uncomfortable, pushed Fisher violently, and her whole body rolled downwards uncontrollably, leaving the base with the huge mouth open.
It bit her body and flew upwards.
"Boom!"
He bit Valentina's base and swayed, as if he couldn't wait to swallow her. Below, the magic ring on Fisher's hand, which was completely exhausted, finally lit up with a little pink light.
, just like a powerless baby trying its best to knock down a strong man, but to no avail.
"Is this the trump card you prepared for me? It's a pity that such a brainless thing can completely make you lose the ability to fight with just one instinctive roar. This has to be said to be destiny."
In the surrounding smoke and dust, Erwind, who covered his body, walked slowly towards Fisher. He looked at Fisher's miserable state, as if his brain had been burned out after the failure of engraving high-ring magic, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad.
He lowered his head to pick up the death rune that fell on the ground, and then walked slowly towards Fisher,
"It hasn't eaten the little phoenix yet. After killing you, I will use the death rune to kill it. You can rest assured, Fisher Benavidez."
"read"
Erwind's hands suddenly turned into two sharp blades. He stepped on Fisher's chest and looked at the absent-minded Fisher with some mockery. In Fisher's hand, the ring had fallen.
The dream magic at the second level was still activated, but Ervind had no sense of pulling in his soul.
"read"
Erwind put the blade on Fisher's neck and killed him without any hesitation, but at this moment, he seemed to hear what Fisher was saying with difficulty.
Ervind didn't know that at this moment, in Fisher's ears, the roaring tinnitus caused by the draining of magic power, and the crazy whispers caused by completing the manual, all disappeared at this moment.
, in his ears at this time, there was only a simple sentence spoken by a woman who spoke with charm.
Fisher looked at the base biting Valentina farther and farther away, and watched Erwind holding the blade close to Chi Chi. His mind went blank, and he subconsciously followed the female voice in his ear.
After speaking, he also said the same,
"Karasawa あすか"
The moment before Erwind's blade sank into Fisher's neck, as he spoke this word composed of a language he didn't know, in the sycamore tree wrapped by the turbulence of space, it was worn on Fisher's hand.
The ring of the Magic Lord suddenly burst out with a deep dark red color. This dark red color stirred the depths of the world, causing some kind of weird spiritual fluctuations to follow one after another.
The moment the fluctuation appeared, the base biting Valentina seemed to have suddenly lost all its strength and fell softly in mid-air. Then, it and Valentina were dragged by gravity and fell rapidly from the high altitude.
Down.
"Howl!"
"Boom!"
The magic circuits all over Erwend's body lit up. In his extremely surprised gaze, the dream magic that originally had only two rings in Fisher's hand burst out with extremely dazzling brilliance, and the originally dull pink color suddenly became as bright as
Shining like the sun, the magic emblem carefully carved by Fisher above was instantly wiped out, but the reverberations it brought to the world did not diminish at all, but became more and more intense!
Two rings, three rings, four rings, thirteen rings, fourteen rings, fifteen rings, five thousand rings, ten thousand rings, one hundred million rings
The spatial fluctuations that represent the number of rings increase layer by layer, causing a sensation inside the world in a seemingly endless chain. The source of the magic energy is unknown, but it automatically surges exponentially, instantly destroying the base of the mythical level, Earl
Wind and Fisher were all covered in it, until the layers of magic wave power could no longer be bound by the rules created by the gods in the real world, and turned into an ever-changing "horizontal character" connected end to end.
symbol.
The endless ring energy instantly swallowed up all the rules of the real world, distorting time and space with an irresistible force, easily lifting the twisted or powerless souls of everyone present and throwing them into the spiritual world.
Caught between the world.
"Kakaka!"
Surrounding reality, the sound of shattering glass echoed in the space. Valentina fell from a high altitude to the ground. With the sound of cracking bones, the blood under her body continued to seep out, which represented what she had.
The Phoenix bloodline also represents her ever-flowing life, flowing towards the curse next to her.
This situation coincided bit by bit with the prophecy she said she saw, but in the next second, when she was waiting for the "infinite" rings of dream magic to cover her, the flow of her life and blood paused momentarily, as if she were weaving her destiny.
The loom also seemed to be suspended at this moment.
Inside the sycamore tree, the fragments, the decaying pedestal, the dying Valentina, and the godless Fisher were all suspended at this moment, strangely trapped in the infinite gap between time and space, but all living creatures present
However, all their souls were separated from the body, and following the flickering ice, they fell into an endless and deep fantasy dream constructed by unknown existences, rotating like a kaleidoscope.
