The guard swung his tail and spit out a mouthful of flames. Lu Yu threw out the last bottle of potion with all his strength.
Facing the sudden attack, Clorance, whose body was already in tatters, just pulled the ubiquitous magic power slightly and swept forward to block the explosion.
Lawrence didn't hesitate. He floated up like a ghost, passing through the sea of fire. He smiled and waved to the fleeing Lu Yu.
Lu Yu's perspective instantly turned upside down. He was horrified to find that he had been restrained in mid-air by a strange force at some point. At this time, his whole body was hanging upside down.
Clarence just blinked, and the gecko who hurriedly protected his master was hit hard against the wall nearby. Half of the body condensed by the fire attribute collapsed, and the magical body was exposed.
With just one more blow, the gecko would completely dissipate, but Clorens did not continue to attack. For him, the gecko was too weak.
Lu Yu, who was hanging upside down, fell heavily to the ground. He might have broken his neck, but Lawrence adjusted his falling posture.
Lu Yu knew the meaning of this operation. What this person needed was an intact body.
Lu Yu struggled to stand up, faced the smiling Clarence, and said in a deep voice: "Why me? You have a lot of dolls. Is there something special about me?"
"I'm sorry, I was just following my instincts."
Lawrence still maintained a good demeanor. If he didn't plan to steal his body, Lu Yu would even think that he was a gentleman-like figure.
Clorance, who was sure that Lu Yu could no longer escape, was willing to say a few more words.
"Instinct tells me that dolls are not the best choice, and the diary tells me that if time is short, everything can follow instinct. I have no feeling for women's bodies, and the dragon man has no magic foundation, so there is no point in choosing her.
.The other people have been working together, and I don’t think we can take advantage of the opportunity to get one of them, so you, Lu Yu, become the best choice."
Lu Yu understood that the reason for his unlucky relationship was that he was alone.
"You can't bully powerful people, so why bully me?"
"That's not the case. I'm not interested in the little one and the cumbersome upper body. I'm also not interested in the two people who have mediocre bodies that are not as good as yours. Your body absorbs magic power at an alarming rate. I think your body is different from yours.
My level of compatibility should be very high, which is enough for me to finish reading the diary."
Lawrence was talking about taking away the body lightly, and looking at the sarcasm in Lu Yu's eyes, he continued.
"I can understand your reluctance and allow you to resist." Clorance said, "The moment I found out you were a Summoner, I couldn't help but smile. There was a voice in my heart laughing at the profession of Summoner. I
I'm very curious as to why this is. After teleporting here and seeing you and your summons, I suddenly remembered."
"The road to summoning was broken a thousand years ago. Five hundred years ago, not only did new summons no longer appear, but there was no opportunity to change the status quo of summoning. This road was cut off. I thought the summoners had long ago
give up."
Clarence waved his right hand towards the void. At this moment, dense lines lit up all over his body, as if someone was painting on his body with a highlighter pen.
A curtain of light lit up in front of Lu Yu. It was the summoning manual that Lu Yu took out when he entered the castle conference room to rest. It contained the shaping elements of Orkus and the heroic words he wrote about rebuilding the summoning road.
.
Only then did Lu Yu know that from the moment they entered the castle, they had no secrets, which also made him surprised by the castle's magic circle.
"Rebuilding the summoning road... It's ridiculous. Magicians can't even resist decay, but you want to repair the road that the gods have cut off. It's so arrogant that it makes people feel cute."
Lu Yu's eyes were cold, and the disdain and ridicule in his eyes reached its peak.
Lawrence's face began to age and wrinkles appeared in large numbers, but he didn't care. Now he cared more about the compassion in Lu Yu's eyes.
Although he has not recovered all his memories, the aloof side deep in his soul does not allow anyone to look at him like this, especially by a nobody who is nothing!
"You think what I said is ridiculous?"
"Don't you think you are ridiculous?" Lu Yu asked back, "The arrogant things in your eyes are just dreams in other people's minds, beliefs he is willing to insist on. If you think what he insists on is stupid, that is your freedom. After all,
Along the way, I have heard countless people advise me not to have any expectations for the call. Everyone who knows me wants me to change my mind because they know very well that this road is too difficult."
"But these people will not laugh at my persistence. They are also magicians. Maybe they are not as good as you or as powerful as you, but they at least have a minimum of respect for those who have dreams and persist for them. 'I can't do it.
Even though I know he is stupid, I still admire him,' this is what they think."
"Clorence, the same is true for the path of magic. When magic first appeared, those who overcame obstacles were also fools in the eyes of others. But as those fools moved forward, one path after another appeared in front of everyone's eyes. People just now
They discovered that it wasn’t that the road was inaccessible, it was just that they hadn’t found a way to walk yet.”
"Some people pursue the idea that there is no road in the world. The more people walk, the more people will find the way. They continue to develop and eventually form an unprecedented magic system." Lu Yu said with a smile, "The achievements you have are exactly
Built on the foundation of these great pioneers, you are now mocking me for having the same pioneer heart... It’s really pitiful.”
Lawrence's neck cracked and blood flowed. He felt no pain at all and lowered his head as if thinking about something.
After a while, Clarence raised his head and smiled warmly and confidently: "Aren't you secretly mobilizing your magic power and trying to write the summoning contract?"
Lu Yu's body trembled and his muscles tensed.
"Twilight City is my property. The magic circle is connected to my body. I can feel everything you do." Clorance said generously, "I agree with your words, and I am willing to give you a chance for this."
The opportunity to summon, let your dying dream bloom one last time."
Clarence added: "Don't try to delay time. This body decays very quickly. Before it collapses, I will erase your consciousness. If you want to struggle, do it now."
This pity from top to bottom stems from Clorance's arrogance. In order to wash away the mistakes in his previous words, he calmly took a step back and faced the road with difficulty with a body that was already like a rag doll and could be shattered at any time.
Yu bowed slightly.
Lulutis said that this is etiquette among high-level magicians.
High-level magicians never salute low-level magicians unless you have gained their respect.
"Lord of Twilight City, Clorens."
"I am deeply sorry that I cannot recall a more famous name."
Lu Yu accepted the salute from Lawrence without being humble or condescending, but he did not return the salute.
He stood up straight and said calmly: "Summoner, Lu Yu."
"I don't have a more famous name, but I have told people around me that I will allow the Summoning School to breathe and even rise."
Lu Yu raised his hands and faced the black vortex that had been born in the sky. He was like a devout believer, telling his wish.
Clarence's right hand broke and fell onto the red carpet, turning into ashes. A huge crack appeared on Clarence's forehead, splitting his tall nose into two halves, and cutting off his slightly pale thin lips.
.
On the broken cheeks, two light yellow eyes were fixedly staring at Lu Yu.
Feeling that the summoning ceremony had begun, Clarence suppressed the thoughts that were about to move. Like the last audience member to leave the stage, he politely waited for this talented but doomed drama actor to complete his curtain call.
.
Lawrence didn't hear Lu Yu silently reciting the summoning terms, and knew that this was the other party carefully hiding his secret.
Like a child, he is afraid that adults will take away his toys.
Gu Qi
Lu Yu's body was continuously absorbing a large amount of magic power, and a huge magic vortex was generated in the corridor. Lu Yu, who was in the center of the vortex, had an expressionless face and cold eyes. Clorance, who was looking at him, was staring.
The void formed by the summoning ritual.
"There seems to be something there." Clarence looked at the direction of the black vortex and murmured unconfidently.
"Lu Yu, you seem to have a lot of secrets... It's a pity, you shouldn't have come to Twilight City."
As time passed, Lawrence suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Even if the Moon Engraving Barrier is full of magic power, allowing Lu Yu at the third level to summon powerful summons more calmly, even if he does not hesitate to overpay in order to win, it still takes too long.
Lu Yu's body seemed to have a hole in the void that was swallowing up the magic around him, so that the magic circle in Twilight City became unstable for a moment, and the Book of Twilight almost disconnected from his body.
.
How could the body of a third-level summoner withstand such a huge baptism of magic power?
Clarence's awakened memory made him think of a possibility.
"Choose to summon something that you cannot summon in the first place, hoping to commit suicide through backlash. Would you rather die than let me get your body?" Clarence sneered, "Stop struggling, even if the magic power backfires and kills your body."
Even if my body is destroyed, I can still block the backlash at the last moment. This is my Twilight City!"
"Who said I was going to commit suicide?"
Lu Yu's eyes were red, and countless magic powers entered his body and quickly passed away, making him feel like he was in an endless torrent, feeling the surging waves constantly hitting his body, and he was in so much pain.
In order to survive.
In order to meet Lulu and the others.
It’s also to fight for the summons...
Lu Yu made a bet!
The number one summon in the summoning manual was the one that Lu Yu wanted to try to summon but was afraid of unexpected summons.
What he filled in when paying the price was, [The limit that the body can bear], and [The magic power you desire].
At the moment of the call, he shouted out his wish.
Regardless of whether the world consciousness can hear it or not, this is all he can bet on.
Lu Yu made an agreement with Lulu not to use overpayment, although he knew that if he wanted to gamble, he should be more thorough...but after all, he had said it first.
The smile on Lawrence's face faded little by little.
The magic circle in Twilight City brought him superb perception.
A cold thought spread before the summoned object appeared.
Chaos, chaos that makes people unable to think, countless voices echoing in Clorons' ears and mind.
They wailed, they screamed, they sang hymns, they prayed.
Everything fell into disorder, without logic, and unrelated emotions and things kept flashing.
Clarence wanted to cry, but the next second he felt joy again and subconsciously grinned.
He saw the bottomless abyss of darkness, and saw countless stars erupting with dazzling light in front of his eyes. Beautiful tunes sounded on the bright moon, and there seemed to be dancing girls with invisible faces dancing gracefully and charmingly in the yellow sand in the sky.
dance…
"he came."
Lu Yu's voice was humble and pious, like an apostle waiting for the arrival of the gods.
Lu Yu no longer looked at Clorens, nor did he dare to raise his head and stare at the figure that emerged from the whirlpool.
At this moment, what Lawrence heard, Lu Yu could hear.
At this moment, Lu Yu could also see the images flashing in Clorons' mind.
All the magic power was consumed, and no matter how hard he tried to absorb it, Lu Yu could not find a trace of magic power, sitting softly on the ground like a shriveled balloon.
Those messy pictures made him sick and dizzy, and the physical discomfort made him endure it with a stronger will.
He didn't dare to move.
An overwhelming, destructive aura began to leak out.
Clarence just stared blankly, unable to move his eyes away, let alone activate the Twilight City magic circle.
Controlling the Book of Twilight and the City of Twilight, his whole body shattered into pieces and turned into dust under the ubiquitous pressure.
"what have you done…"
These were the words that Lawrence struggled to spit out before his body collapsed.
Light blue mist rose up from Clorons' powdered body. He didn't dare to raise his head for fear of touching the monster that was watching everything. Even so, his soul was still tracked by the cold and sticky breath.
It was like there were countless hands vying to plunder his remaining consciousness.
Clorance activated the Book of Twilight at the last moment and left here as a spirit under the cover of endless white light.
Lu Yu turned his back to that thing, but could feel its cold and maddening gaze scanning continuously.
He is not satisfied.
He's asking for more.
Almost suffocating, he used up the last bit of strength in his body, took out the magic recovery potion in his backpack, and poured it into the final potion that he could no longer taste.
The moment the cool magic moistened Lu Yu's body, Lu Yu broke free from the shackles of fear.
"Contract, end!"
As soon as he finished speaking, an electric current penetrated Lu Yu's soul, bringing his thoughts into the bottomless darkness.
