Chapter 80 Is the situation taking a turn for the worse?
Every stone brick in the circular square was shaking, emitting an overwhelmed whine, as if there was a sleeping beast hidden under it, waking up at this moment, turning over, trying to lift all the weight placed on his head.
The stone guardrail collapsed and fell apart, and the fine gravel and dust drifted by with the sudden cold wind. At the edge of the square, the flames in the copper brazier swayed and refracted violently.
The shadow casts on the ground, spreading its teeth and claws like a terrifying monster.
The ancient cold stone bricks are roaring, the dark and silent high walls are shaking, and the dark storm sweeps through without anyone noticing, shrouding everything in an atmosphere of oppressive silence. Those who are here,
They will feel that a boundless fear is coming, that will strangle their breathing and swallow their heartbeat, so they are like a small boat in the storm, ups and downs.
"Gone?"
Olvera, who originally thought she had a chance to win, looked up at the surrounding scene, and a look of confusion gradually appeared in her eyes. She tried to find the giant wolf in such a terrifying storm, but found nothing, as if the other party had melted into the depths of darkness and became a wolf.
Become part of the disaster of heaven and earth.
"Ovela!" At this moment, Alice's anxious cry came from her mind: "Back up!"
The moment the words fell, the shaking of the ground under his feet became more violent, as if the awakened beast had stretched out its claws and was about to tear open the cage above its head. The princess of Beimang listened to her companion's words and subconsciously stepped back to avoid it.
She opened the place where the shaking was the most violent. Almost at the same moment when she dodged, the ground she was originally standing on suddenly sank, as if she was punched down by an invisible giant in the void. The fierce force immediately shattered these thousands of years.
The stone bricks, which had always been cold and solid, left a circular depression, and the accumulation of earth and rocks fell, stirring up smoke and dust all over the sky.
Olivia's eyes widened in disbelief. She saw that the solemn and majestic arena with the sunken pit as the center suddenly began to separate to both sides. A deep crack tore open the earth, just like the passage to Hades in ancient legends.
It was separated like an abyss. In the extremely dark abyss where the light of the flames could not shine, there was a rumbling sound, gradually approaching the ground, as if something was rising.
That's a pillar.
Each one is magnificent, spectacular, majestic, shocking... It seems that the round stone pillars can be described with all the words that express the ultimate meaning in the world. They are like riding on an elevator driven by a steam engine and gears, slowly rising from the ground and emerging.
In the sight of the girl, they are all carved from a single piece of stone. The surface should have been engraved with simple and solemn patterns to tell an ancient story that has been passed down from the time of birth to this day. However, now they are all mottled by wind and frost.
Unbearable, a desolate and heavy atmosphere hit my face.
There are a total of twelve stone pillars, and their heights are not exactly the same. Some only have the top pillars four or five meters above the ground, while some are lifted entirely, oppressing people's vision with a towering and majestic attitude.
It seems that the ancient giants raised their arms to support the dome of the arena, making people in front of them not only ants, but also as small as dust and mayflies.
Although the heights are inconsistent, in general, the arrangement of stone pillars is from low to high, gradually upward, like a ladder leading to the sky, indicating the fact that mortals can also set foot in the realm of gods. This extremely majestic solemnity
, the sense of sacredness and magnificence seems to indicate that they are not buildings built for use. From the beginning, they only consider how spectacular, how majestic, and how to shock people's hearts, so that they can achieve the immediate effect.
In the center of the long steps of stone pillars, at the top of the tallest rounded stone pillar, the guardian who had just disappeared was already standing on it. The silver-gray cloak around his neck was dancing, setting off the elegant and unhurried posture of the giant wolf.
His posture is like an oil painting reflected on a shadow curtain, with a dreamy and holy temperament. His body is not much larger than the stone pillar under his feet, but the shadow cast on the ground seems to extend endlessly until the dream is broken.
at the end of.
The fire flickered, lighting up two red stars in the depths of his scarlet eyes. He looked down at the confused and uneasy princess quietly, and suddenly spoke, his voice echoing in the shattered arena: "Do you want to
Do you want to prove your strength, or do you want to gain something through it?"
"However, the proof of strength is meaningless. It will be attributed beyond reason and reduced to an empty lie; and it is even more foolish to try to obtain something through strength, because to obtain something, one must first possess it.
Only with the blessing of courage can it become true."

"Princess of Beimang, are your anger, your impulse, and your strength all part of courage? Or is it cowardly escape?"
"Just now you said that you want to find the answer yourself. So now——"
"It's time for me to test your courage."
He raised his head, and a long wolf howl reverberated, penetrating between heaven and earth, and perhaps penetrating the depths of the girl's soul, causing her to suddenly feel dazed, and the palm holding the holy sword loosened slightly.
The next moment, the giant wolf on the top of the stone pillar disappeared, or rather, he jumped up, but the speed was too fast, and it was difficult to catch it with the naked eye, so it gave people the illusion that he was not at both ends of the line of sight.
Instead of moving, he jumped between spaces. One second, he was still on the stone pillar, maintaining the posture of looking up to the sky and howling. The next second, he was traveling in an instant, landing in front of Olvera, without any dust or gravel.
The disturbance only stirred up the faint and inaudible sound of the wind.
The giant wolf that suddenly arrived looked at the girl who had not yet reacted, only one meter away. The latter could clearly see her reflection in his eyes, as well as a deep and calm thought. Then, a
A group of faint blue flames passed by, and the sharp wolf claws ruthlessly tore open the girl's abdomen, throwing her thin body backward.
"I am a phantom, a trace of existence, and a memory of the past."
The wolf's figure passed by again, very fast, as if it had drawn a straight black track in the sleepy world. It easily caught up with Olvera, who was still flying upside down in the air, opened its cold huge mouth, and bit it.
He took out her left hand and lightly kicked her feet on the broken stone bricks of the square. Her huge body spun around nimbly and shook her head vigorously, as if throwing an old rag doll, throwing Olvera high into the sky.
.
"If you want to defeat a memory, the best way is not to forget it, but to keep it in your heart."
The giant wolf jumped up, arriving first, and quickly passed the height of Olvera, who was helpless in the sky. It breathed out a breath that was colder than the hurricane in the ice sea, and countless sharp tornadoes roared past.
, swallowed up the girl's body, and like an icy blue meteorite carrying the stars in the sky, it crashed to the ground. After a terrifying roar, the frost and fog in the sky dispersed, and a sunken hole appeared on the already dilapidated and messy ground.
Deep pit.
"Because forgetting does not necessarily mean cowardice, but remembering sad things must have some kind of courage behind it."
The giant wolf's body was slightly arched, accumulating strength like a beautiful crescent moon hanging upside down in the dawn sky. When the brewing momentum reached its peak, he also fell with it, using the force of the fall to do an elegant somersault, spinning rapidly in the air, four directions
The blue flames on the feet boiled, completely covering the huge body. The meteor pushed the tail flames to roar, and as far as the naked eye could see, a high-speed rotating fire moon flew past the dark curtain, enveloping it.
It hit the ground with an astonishing momentum and let out an earth-shattering roar.
The entire arena is shaking, as if it is about to collapse.
The gradually dissipating frost mist mixed with the thin firelight and dispersed one after another, forming a hazy and shimmering thin snow. In the snow scene, the shadow of the wolf stood calmly, and the cloak around its neck was raised like silver-gray wings, shooting.
Beating the wind and snow all over the sky, it echoed loudly.
"This is a test."
A low voice echoed in the snow: "Please prove your courage, or prove the meaning of my existence here."
"..."
The girl pursed her lips, supported the holy sword with both hands, and stood up with difficulty.
