Chapter two hundred and forty seventh soul whipping
No matter how reluctant Xue Huazai is, this upward ladder will eventually end, and he cannot be stopped here by his own fear. Neither Auriel's last wish nor the situation above the silver dome will allow him to continue.
Stop here.
And he doesn't have much time to adjust himself. He is still needed on the Eternal Battlefield, and every second he stays here may turn into the beginning of a disaster.
So Xue Hua could only take a few deep breaths, and then stepped onto the last step of the stairs with extremely complicated emotions.
Walking into the entrance of the fifth floor of the silver-white dome, the first thing that catches the eye is the rows of weapons and armors neatly arranged on the weapon racks and the silver armors on the armor display racks. This layer should be the arsenal and martial arts practice of the angels.
In the field, even the heroic angels who were born with strong fighting talents grew up step by step here.
Xue Hua saw six large white stone statues standing in the center of this floor. Each stone statue was covered with carvings made by knives and axes. Obviously, these stone statues should be the standards used by angels to train their fighting skills.
target.
This scene reminded Xue Hua of what he saw when he first arrived at Rogge Camp and visited the training ground of Rogge Military Academy under the leadership of Kasha. The training ground was also filled with painted arrow targets.
A scarecrow and a rack of weapons filled with bows and arrows.
The ominous premonition in his heart suddenly became stronger.
Lilia took the lead in exploring the inside of the training ground with the shadow bugs, and they quickly found the "ambush" set by the enemy on this floor.
To be precise, it was no longer an "ambush", because their opponents were standing carelessly on the training ground, holding bows and arrows and shooting at the target stone statues.
"Master..." Lilia's report came, but her tone was full of hesitation.
"What's wrong?" Xue Hua's voice was a little hoarse. He had already guessed what Lilia had seen.
"...You can take a rest and let me help you overcome these obstacles..."
"No, no need. Since that guy has already made it this far, he will definitely not allow me to avoid the battle."
Xue Hua shook his head, forced himself to calm down, and slowly walked towards the center of the training ground.
Soon he saw the "enemies" behind the target stone statue, and as expected, the opponents he was about to face on this level were the ones he least wanted to face.
Roger......
And it wasn't just Rogge, he also saw two girls from Kasha and Virginia's family...
"Huh..." Xue Hua took a deep breath, feeling that his breathing was a little unsmooth.
"Master, you know those are all lies. My sister and I will always be by your side to accompany you, and Master Kasha and the other sisters will never be enemies with you..."
Funya's somewhat worried voice came from the main hive's mind. Through the eyes of Lilia and the swarm, they had already seen the situation in the training square.
The two sisters have been getting along with Xue Hua for decades, and they know the inner character of their titular "master" very well.
Therefore, they also knew how difficult it was for Xue Hua to raise weapons against someone they knew and loved.
Even if what appeared in front of him was just a group of obvious fakes.
This has nothing to do with strength and courage, it is a true portrayal of the softest part of a person's heart.
For Xue Hua, the two sisters and the people he knew and regarded as relatives and friends in the Sanctuary World were the biggest enemies and weaknesses in his heart. He risked nine deaths several times to save that world, 100% of which
Eighty percent of his motives were for them and those he knew well.
Along the way, he has lost many friends and partners, so he is absolutely unwilling to see more people sacrifice, especially by his own sword.
This is an injury that goes straight to the heart of a person.
Just like when Kerrigan, the Queen of Blades, broke into Narud's hideout and finally started a desperate battle with it, Narud suddenly transformed into Jim Raynor.
Kerrigan hesitated at that moment, and Narud seized the opportunity and almost made a comeback.
Even as strong as the Queen of Blades, she still hesitates when facing the face of her beloved.
Even if she knew clearly that it was Narud's transformation that disturbed her mind, even if Narud's transformation was completed right in front of her.
This is a weakness of human nature. If someone can get rid of this weakness, then he is basically not a human being anymore.
Xue Hua's power has indeed reached an inhuman level, but his mind has always been that of a normal human being, otherwise he would not have stubbornly insisted on changing back to a human being after clearly possessing a more powerful original form.
Look.
He identifies with his human identity from the depths of his soul, so he cannot avoid being affected by various human emotions.
"Deca Cain" appearing on the fourth floor already made him feel very tired and angry, and the opponent on this floor in front of him made the anger and conflict in his heart reach its peak!
Funia and Annie both knew the limits of Xue Hua's patience, so they knew they had to do something to soothe his soul to prevent him from making some irrational choices when facing those counterfeiters.
"Master, we are always by your side. No matter what you see now, it is not true..."
Anne's gentle voice also appeared in the main hive mind.
And just when the two women were about to calm down Xue Hua's emotions again, the "acquaintances" over there did not give them any more opportunities.
"Hey! Isn't this our great hero? What? He's had enough limelight outside, and he wants to come back and continue to harm us little wretches?"
"Kasha" used an extremely acrimonious tone to provoke Xue Hua's bottom line. At the same time, the "Rogs" behind her also surrounded him from both sides under the leadership of the twin sisters.
"You know what? I really regret handing them over to you. This is the worst choice I have ever made in my life, bar none!"
"I watched them grow up, and you took them away from this world without even asking me!"
"Do you know how lonely they are?!"
Seeing the expression on Xue Hua's face as if struck by lightning, a sarcastic sneer appeared on the corner of "Kasha's" mouth.
"You always think that everything you do is for their good, but you never put yourself in their shoes!
In that cold and boring universe, they don’t even have anyone with whom they can confide their true thoughts!”
"You keep saying you will treat them well, is this how you fulfill your promise?!"
"Kasha" asked Xue Hua loudly in a sharp voice, and at the same time glanced at the two sisters next to him.
Xue Hua followed her gaze and saw deep disappointment and hatred on the faces of the two sisters!
